Camera raw in Elements 12 - Using the database instead of xmp sidecar files

PSE12 ACR
Is there somewhere some documentation about using the option to save the ACR settings in a database rather than in xmp sidecar files ?
I have found the location of the 'Database' file in C:/Users/[my name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/
Several questions:
- how to ensure that the 'Database' is backed up with the built-in backup process in the Organizer ?
- that Database seems to be independent of the catalogs
- How is the Database updated if you move or rename files from the Organizer ?
- What happens if you already have xmp sidecar files when you choose the option of the Database in the ACR dialog ?
- If you upgrade catalogs from Elements to Lightroom, are the settings saved in the database recognized by Lightroom ?

What is your screen resolution on the computer you're running PSE8 on?
ACR requires a vertical screen resolution of 768.  If you're on a small laptop or a normal-sized netbook, PSE will skip the ACR-user-interface and go directly into the editor.
The update for ACR will be on http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and choose Camera RAW - Windows/Mac at the top, and then after choosing the ACR version, the page that comes up should have a link for a PSE-specific install process.  The text on the main ACR update page will have the Photoshop instructions so you have to look for a link for the PSE instructions.  It should involve downloading a ZIP, extracting the files, and replacing the plug-in file manually.

  • Camera Raw for Elements 10 for the Canon EOS 7D MkII? Downloading

    Is there a "Camera Raw" for "Elements 10" for the "Canon EOS 7D MkII"?
    If so could I please have the link to where I can download it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The Canon 7D Mk II is currently not supported by any version of camera raw.
    It is expected that Camera raw 8.7 will include support and we are hoping that it will be released soon.
    PSE 12 has ceased to be updated - you will either need to update to PSE 13 or use the DNG 8.7 converter (when it becomes available) to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - PSE 12 will then beable to use the DNG files.

  • In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

    In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

    What operating system are you using?
    Which version of camera raw do you have in photoshop cs6?
    After you select the Adjustment Brush, the New button should already be enabled.
    Then after you draw on an area of the image, the Add button should be enabled, with the option to choose either of the other two buttons; New or Erase
    Could you post a screenshot?
    Maybe all the adjustment values are set to zero?
    (at least one needs to have a value other than zero)

  • I've been using PScc for 2 months and suddenly when I open a file in camera raw and attempt to use the

    radial, graduated and adjustment filters those and all the other options which do work  are immediately  "greyed out" and I've got to restart the computer to get rid. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Win 8.1 64 bit

    An ACR preference reset may help: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift as you open ACR. See video:

  • Camera Raw wants me to use process 2010 instead of 2012

    I edited my raw in lightroom 4, process 2012, when I place the picture in my photoshop document from bridge, camera raw shows a ! telling me "Update to current process (2010)", but 2010 is not the current process, 2012 is. What should I do to correct this ?
    Maybe deleting camera raw file (where is it ?) and reinstall camera raw (where do I get it) ?
    Thanks for your help
    ps: I'm on Mac. CS 5.5 production premium.

    As long as CS5.5 is updated to ACR 6.7 and you don't need to change any of the slider values, then you can ignore that.  ACR 6.7 doesn't have sliders for PV2012, though, as it's an older version. 
    If you need to adjust the sliders in the ACR dialog for your smart object, you'll either need to use the older PV2010, or update to CS6.

    I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

    When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

  • How can I use LR as an Editor while using Elements Organizer as the Database?

    I started this question in the LR newbie section of the forum but maybe a few more eyes should see the question. 
    Simply put, I want to stay with Elements Organizer as the database of my holdings. (Yes, I've tried the LR analog and it does not do as well for me.)
    I'd like to mouse a file ovfer to LR, do edits in LR, and then get the finished product back to Elements.  I suspect that is an EXPORT issue on LR's part but am not sure.
    Are there others who have a similar requirement?
    How should I proceed?

    Hi Linus,
    I'm admittedly out on a limb here, since I have zero experience with Photoshop Elements. On the plus side, I have lots of experience with Lightroom, and plugins which may help.
    As Jim said, photos have to be added to Lightroom catalog to be edited, and the 2 possible ways which spring to mind are:
    * Manual Import
    * Automatic Import
    Manual may not be so bad, since you can drag a file (maybe direct from PE, but certainly from OS) and drop it in the library grid, and Lr's import dialog box will open with only that photo selected and 'Add' as the way to import it (as opposed to 'Copy', 'Move', or 'Convert to DNG'). So, all you'd have to do is click the 'OK' (actually it's 'Import') button.
    The problem with Lr's automatic import is that it only supports one watched folder, so you'd have to copy files to it, and then info needed to export it to the correct place for return to PE has been lost, so I recommend using Jeffrey Friedl's Folder Watch plugin, or my very own Ottomanic Importer if you choose to go that route. That way, when you export or publish them they'll be where you want them to be (same folder as original, if I understood you correctly).
    For return to PE, I'd recommend TreeSyncPublisher. I mean, if you are only ever editing once, and always doing one at a time, then a simple export will suffice, but if you want to edit (and/or re-edit) in batch, a publish service will save you some confusion, since you don't have to remember which photos you edited - just click 'Publish'.
    I assume you have some way for PE to recognize new files created by publishing in Lr, and updates to existing files...
    You may have to experiment to come up with something that suits well enough - keep us posted..

  • My understanding was that Elements shipped with Camera Raw 6.6 which included the Adjustment Brush

    I have bought Elements 10 and updated the Camera Raw to 6.6 but the Adjustment Brush & Graduated Filter do not appear in the Toolbar of the Workspace.

  • How to open jpg, tiff files in camera raw from elements 10 organizer

    How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

    Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is  the correct word).
    For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
    I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
    Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
    As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
    Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

  • Adobe Camera Raw in Elements 11

    I'm using Windows 8.1. In Elements 11 I updated Camera Raw, but although it has confirmed the update, I cannot find it in Elements. Help please

    Hi,
    To find out which version of Camera Raw that you have, load the editor and go to Help -> About plug-in ->  Camera Raw.
    To edit raw files, just open them in the editor - Camera Raw will automatically load first. Make your adjustments in Camera Raw and then click on Open Image to load the image into the normal editor.
    To edit a JPG with Camera Raw, open the editor, use Open As to select the image and change the Open As format to Camera Raw. Then you proceed as above.
    If you are having problems reading raw files, please tell us which camera they come from.
    Hope that helps.

  • Canon 5D MKIII - Camera Raw for Elements ?

    Does anyone know when the Camera Raw plug in that supports the Canon 5D Mark III in Photoshop Elements 10 will be available ? I know release candidate 6.7 is available but only works with Photoshop CS5 - not sure why Adobe chooses to not make it available for Elements ? I also know that I can use the DNG converter to convert my 5D MKIII images to DNG format and then work in Camera Raw. However, this is a beta DNG converter and I have found that my converted images are slightly overexposed (about half a stop) and have more noise. Does anyone else have this problem ?
    The real question is - when will the Camera Raw plug that supports the Canon 5D Mark III in for Photoshop Elements 10 will be available ? You pay a price for being an early adopter and this has seriously disrupted my workflow. I have a hard disk full of RAW images to work on - please help !!!!

    Adobe does not pre-announce software releases, mostly so they can change their mind up until the last minute, I think.
    It’s also not the situation where Adobe needs to talk to Canon to decide when to release the next version of ACR.  Adobe releases ACR on a relatively fixed schedule, so whatever new cameras have come out that Adobe has had the resources to profile with enough lead time to work out any bugs, will be in the next version of ACR when it is released on the internally-predetermined schedule.
    Adobe reverse-engineers their needed information after having a camera in hand, not from discussions with the manufacturer, necessarily.  Sometimes Adobe gets a camera from the manufacturer long before it is available to the public, and I would expect an important camera like the 5D.3 might have been one of those, but that just makes it easier to get the camera into the next scheduled ACR, it does not make the ACR update come out any faster.
    Adobe also has a CS6 suite to work on and test so they’re not merely working on putting cameras into ACR 6.7 or ACR 7 for use with PSE10.

  • Camera raw and elements 11

    I can't get the latest version of camera raw into elements 11. Please help! It doesn't show up as an update, and the downloaded version says it's incompatible. Version 7.1.0.354 came with my load of Elements. It seems that the latest version is 7.4 (or 8.2, depending on where you look).
    This shouldn't be so difficult.

    Yes, "updates" is not an available selection. So I used the applications manager, and it tells me I am up to date. But that can't be the case.

  • Camera Raw for Elements 6.0 - how do I purchase plug in?

    I am trying to use Camera Raw with Elements 6.0.  Does this come with Elements and I just can't find it, or do I need to buy a separate plug in? The updates on Adobe say that it doest not recognize my file type.
    Thank you!

    Your best bet is to use the free version of DNG converter and watch this video to learn how to use it:

  • I am looking for Camera RAW for Elements 11 for a Nikon D610

    Does anyone have the link for Camera RAW for Elements 11 for a Nikon D610?

    According to the Adobe Supported Camera List - a D610 needs ACR 8.3:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    According to the Adobe Apps list, ACR 8.3 only works with PSE12:
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    So either upgrade your PSE to 12, or use the DNG Converter 8.3 or 8.4, to convert the NEFs to DNGs that PSE11 can read.  The DNG Converter can be found, here:
