Camera raw issues - RAM problem?

Hi
Im using Photoshop 6 with when using ACR i find that the ability too zoom in and out in camera raw disappears if i apply any noise reduction (ie: luminance amount above 0). When this happens i also get "stuttering" when moving the image around in the window, with the bottom or top section of the image remainingand being replicated above or below while the middle of the moves.
Often i process a RAw image and it opens as a TIFF in photoshop and all seems fine, then if go back to ACR and try and process another RAW i find that the ACR page opens minus the image. In other words the ACR page is visible but the window where the image should be shows PS underneath. The only way to clear this is to close PS and reopen the program and the RAW file. I often get an error message when i try converting a RAW file to a developed tiff that says "not enough RAM".
My PC has 4GB of RAM and in the photoshop preferences (performance) the "ideal range" on my PC is around 900 - 1150MB. Is my PC too dated to run PS & ACR and do you think the issues ive explained are all to do with the limited RAM?
Mark

I am seeing this problem too. I have a similar specd PC to mjones1978 above : core i7 860, ATI Radeon HD4350, 32bit win 7 pro, 4GB RAM (2.96GB usable). I am opening RAW files from Mini Bridge to Camera Raw and I can get 2 sequential images loaded processed and then imported to PS6 as 16 bit saved and closed with no problem. I come to the 3rd RAW file, and as soon as it opens in Camera Raw, there is no working preview. When this happens, even if I just hit 'Open' to open it in PS6, it wont open. I can change the sliders in Camera Raw or clsoe file but nothing else.
The only way I can get around this is to completely close PS6/CR/BR down and re-open again.
I suspect that it may be something to do with memory and I have done a system monitor to see what's going on -
Available
RAM
Memory
1.8GB     - I have a few programes open before PS6
1.65GB   - PS+mini BR open
1.28GB   - PS+MBr+CR open
1.07GB   - PS+MBr+16BIT image file open in PS
1.07GB   - 16 BIT image file closed but PS and MB open
0.74GB   - PS+MBr+CR file open
0.98GB   - File Closed
0.77GB   - PS+MBr+CR file open { CR preview disappears and file is not openable in PS from CR)
Now it would appear that PS6 is hanging onto 1.65GB-0.98GB = 0.67GB of RAM memory that it never coughs up again. which on a 4GB 32 bit system is a sizable chunk.
I have tried playing around with giving PS6 more memory in preferences, purging PS6 cache (there is never anything highlighted to purge other than video cache after a file is closed), and also tried giving CR 10GB of cache disk space.
None of these options work.
For now it just leaves me closing PS6 all the time and then reopening every 2 images which is a bit frustrating.
This happens more suddenly with big (42MB) RAW files, but smaller ones (20MB) create the same problem too, but I maybe get a few more files processed before it does..
Very frustrating. I don't think PS6+CR is optimised for 32 bit windows system, but I don't see why it wont work given I still see 0.74GB of free RAM at the very least. Maybe its Camera Raw that has the issue rather than PS6?

Camera Raw file download problem

Downloaded Camera RAW Images recognised in PS5 Bridge prior to download (thumbnails visible) but after download, no thumbnails visible, only icons, which when double clicked, the following error message appears "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file".
Other previously downloaded files can be opened, and a test picture I just took, downloaded and opened up fine. Looking at the files that won't open, I noticed that the metadata is missing, so I am wondering if during the download process, the files somehow became corrupted. Can any one help with this problem please? Thanks.

The files were the correct size after downloaded them and I used the PS5 Bridge program to dowload directly from my camera. I have spoken to Nikon and Adobe about this problem and both seem to agree that the files became corrupted during the download process. Nikon suggested using third party software to recover the files from the SIM card, which I have now done, but out of 120 files, there were still 6 or 8 files that I couldn't do anything with. the strange thing is that I could view all the files with the Nikon NX2 software, but as soon as I tried to do anything with them, like converting them to a jpg, I got a meaasage saying that the file was not recognised! So panic over for this particular issue, but I am still curious to know if this is a common problem. I suppose if nothing else, I have learned a valuable lesson, which is not to delete pictures from the camaera until after they have been successfully transfered to the computer. Thanks for your interest in my tail of woe!

Bridge CS5 XMP/Camera Raw issues

I was using Bridge normally to browse photos / pdf's ect. Suddenly, almost „out of the blue” it stopped to store any settings and changes I made to photos.
For example: I open Bridge, double click on photo (RAW format), camera raw opens, and then I make some adjustments. Click „Done”. Camera raw closes. Normally preview of that photo was updated and settings stored in the XMP file. Now all this is just not working: I can make any adjustment but when I click „done” it closes the Camera raw without saving changes. Purging cache does not work. Open file directly from Photoshop does not work. I checked access permission to particular folder and photo and they are ok. Did somebody have same problem? Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

Several thoughts. First check to see if the image has not changed to read only. Open Windows Explorer for this. Sometimes computer changes this without any input.
Have you changed to an external drive where permisson could be an issue?
Check the HD where cache is and make sure you have free space. Should have 20% free. So if you have a 500 gig drive you should have 100 gigs free.
If this all checks out then I would reset preferences by holding down Ctrl key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Camera RAW issues with Canon T4i

I have many, many cameras and have used Photoshop and Bridge for years. Even though the latest updates for Camera RAW says it can handle the T4i, I tried opening these files on two separate computers, both running Win 7 64 bit, and my having Photoshop Extended 5+ 64 bit on both computers.
I tried reformatting the camera card, wanting to eliminate that as a possible problem, and the same problem exists.
Camera RAW will recognize all of my other cameras, the D Mark III, T3i, Nikon D2x, D3, D3X, so on and so forth, but not the T4i.
I stopped short of doing an image restore on that machine, thinking my installation of Photoshop must have been corrupted when I removed Elements and Preimere Elements, but no...I'm now on an IBM W701 with the same software and I have the same probem.
If someone from Adobe would like me to send them a file from the T4i, I will. If I shoot in jpeg, there are no issues. But I do not shoot in jpeg. I only did it to see if perhaps it were the SD card.
Any help would be appreciated.

With Photoshop CS5 (I think that's what you said) you no longer have access to the latest updates for Camera Raw.
Photoshop CS5 can only take up to Camera Raw 6.7 (latest version is 7.1, which goes with Photoshop CS6 only).
You'll either need to upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG converter and go through the extra step of converting your T4i images to DNG before opening them in Camera Raw 6.7.

Photoshop Lightroom Camera Raw Issues

I just purchased Lightroom 5 (not the CC version, I bought mine through Amazon). I was editing a photo in Lightroom and wanted to open it in Photoshop. A message said that Camera Raw 8.2 was required and when the photo opened in PS some of the LR editing wasn't there. So I tried to install the most current Camera Raw (8.7) and my Mac says it's installed, but Photoshop still indicates that the older plugin is there and my issues with Lightroom Photoshop compatibility continue. I use PS 5. How can I solve this problem?? I've closed and reopened everything.

"Photoshop 5 doesn't even have ACR."
Well that's odd because the Camera plugin I have says Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7. Regardless, I suspected it was because of my PS 5. Is there no way I can upgrade to PS 6 without going to CC? Because I think it's pretty ****** to stop selling the software and make Adobe customers pay an ongoing fee.

Camera Raw 5.5 problem?

I upgraded to Lightroom 2.5 yesterday (9/20/09), which includes an upgrade to Adobe Camera Raw 5.5. I started to see a purple artifact appear in highlights after making edits. (I haven't yet investigated enough to identify which editing tool triggers the artifact, or perhaps all of them.) Even when I revert History to the original Import step the purple artifact remains visible on screen.
I'm working with ORF files from the Olympus E-510. ORF is Olympus' RAW format.
When I use the 'Edit in' command in LR to open the same file in Photoshop CS4 11.0.1, with or without LR edits, the highlights artifact remains. LR instructed me to upgrade ACR to 5.5 in Photoshop, for compatibility with LR 2.5, which I did before opening the first file. When I later opened the same ORF file straight from PS, it contained the highlights artifact.
When I saved a JPG from LR, the artifact remained in the JPG file. Opening the JPG in Apple's Preview shows that the artifact is at the pixel level - it is there without using an Adobe product to view the image. Therefore the bug is not restricted to viewing images, but also to processing and saving images.
To test whether the ORF (RAW) file had been altered by LR, I opened it in LightZone 3.8. The highlights artifact is NOT present in the image processed by LightZone. Therefore the Adobe products did not alter the ORF (RAW) file. Because the artifact is present in two Adobe products that depend on ACR 5.5, the bug is probably in ACR 5.5. Perhaps in the calibration for the E-510?
I suspect the bug in ACR 5.5 is caused by improper normalization of the R, G and B channels at the bright end of the histogram, so that color balance is not retained when one channel is blown.
Crops of the LR/ACR 5.5 JPG image and the LightZone JPG can be seen at:

Camera RAW / Bridge CC problem with Exposure in Mac OS X 10.9 Maverics

Recently I purchased MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9 Maverics and I have a problem as described below while working in Bridge CC:
If I open Canon RAW files (.CR2) in Photoshop by double-clicking the file (or File > Open With > Adobe Photoshop CC), Photoshop starts and a Camera RAW windows opens. If I set the Exposure value from -0.95 to 0.95 and choose Open Image or Done, a .XMP file is created, but the value of Exposure is NOT SAVED (Exposure value is still 0). If I set the Exposure to -1.00 (or less) or +1.00 (or more), it is SAVED.
On the other way if I open any RAW file just in Camera RAW (File > Open In Camera Raw) everything works fine: any changes of Exposure are saved in .XMP files.
Please note that I have all updates of Adobe and Apple software are installed.
Anyone can help?

Can't check with Mavericks because I'm still on 10.8.5, however I can't say I heard this behavior before.
Can you select a file that is changed with -0.95 but does not show the result and with right mouse click menu choose purge cache for selection, does that make a difference?

Camera raw 8.1 problem?

Hi, it seems i have a problem with photoshop cc when opening my canon 5d mkIII in camera raw 8.1 (using all lenses i have). Same problem in lightroom 5.
The files are good in DPP.
Can you tell me how to fix it?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0xtpynimm8xvef/Schermata%202013-07-12%20alle%2011.15.59.png

We would need to know a lot more details before anyone can help.
Details about your system, about exactlt what kind of files you started out with and every step you have taken to process them, what lens profiles you are using, etc.
It would be very helpful to know your level of experience with Camera Raw, whether you have really learned how to use it, or if you're just using the auto conversion and the default settings.
Your images look corrupted, obviously, and the first thing that comes to mind is that the ACR Lens Correction Defringe Purple Amount or some such setting is set way too high, or you have the wrong or corrupted lens profiles; but that's just complete speculation and a wild guess. Without details we have nothing to go on.

Bridge NEF view - selected image altered - Camera Raw issue?

I use a Nikon D700 and CS3 Bridge on a MAC OSX 10.4.11, and when browsing NEF images in Bridge there is an action performed on the image whenever I click on it. I use the settings where a filmstrip is along the bottom and upon selection a larger image appears above. Initially the image appears as I recall exposing it and looks balanced with good saturation, but after selection the image brightens and loses saturation after a few moments. When I open the image in Camera Raw I find that the Brightness is set at +50 and the contrast is set at +25, and the Blacks slider is set at 5. When I reset those parameters to zero I do not recover the look of the image as it was before selection in the bridge window. In order to do that I have to raise the saturation, decrease the brightness and do a fair amount of work to get back to the way the image appeared in Bridge prior to selection. Can anyone tell me what is happening to the image in bridge and how to keep the image from changing after I select it, or at least how to find the settings that have been evidently applied to the image? If I right click on the thumbnail first, I find that the image will open in camera raw without any changes being made in Bridge, so I was able to make jpegs that show the difference between the two images. The first image is as it appears before selcting the thumbnail, and the second is the image in camera raw. If I were to have selected the image normally with a left click in Bridge, the photo as you see it in camera raw would have appeared in bridge and not been recoverable to its earlier state. Can someone help me undertand what is happening here? How can I find out what Bridge or Camera Raw is doing to the images and retain the appearance as it first appears in Bridge? Thank you for your help.

This is a common question.
What you see first in Bridge is actually a JPG which the camera has embedded in the NEF, and uses all the camera's color settings (contrast, saturation, etc.). Once you select the NEF, ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) attempts to render its own preview of the NEF. Because ACR does not understand the camera's color settings, it gives you its default rendering, which usually is somewhat different than the camera's.
In newer versions of ACR (5.x), Adobe has profiles which mimic the camera's presets ('Standard', 'Vivid', etc.) and can be applied automatically in Bridge. Unfortunately, you will need CS4 for this version of ACR (and these profiles have some issues of their own, e.g. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479960?tstart=0). You can also create your own ACR presets to more or less emulate a particular look (I believe you will need CS4 for this as well).

Camera Raw 8.4 problems

I'm unable to append metadata to files in Bridge CS6 since updating to Camera Raw 8.4. Existing metadata is also being stripped from previously worked on .CR2 files. Also preview images from .RAF files no longer load when they used to before. Is there any way to fix this? Can I downgrade back to 8.3? I'm using CS6 on OS 10.7.5.

hi Oztekson
The fix is to download a 8.4 again via the link below and follow the instructions to replace the existing 8.4 plugin:

I'm usually the one that is a bit sour on Adobe, but in this situation they contacted people that reported the problem and worked out a solution relatively quickly. So, cheers to Adobe, please continue this type of responsiveness. Software breaks, that's life, but how the developer addresses the problem is how the consumer views the value of that company ( and why we might continue purchasing product ).
I'd much rather purchase from small developers, they get it. Let's hope that Adobe is on a path to get back the old mojo. Think small.
Thanks to Ashutosh.Nigam for being responsive to this problem.

PSE & and Camera Raw 5.5 problem

I shoot a Canon 5D Mark ii in Canon Raw. I have Windows Vista operating system, I have PhotoShop Elements 7.0 (all updates installed).
I can't get PSE 7 to open my Raw files. I downloaded and installed the plug http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407344.html for Windows.
Am I trying to what can't be done? Is PSE incapable of reading canon raw files?

I unzipped the files and ran them according to the instructions. The plug opened up PSE during the installation. (if that matters?)
That isn't clear. The following instructions on the download page have to be followed precisely or the plug-in won't work.
Extract the Camera Raw.8bi file from the ZIP file you downloaded. (Extract only the Camera Raw.8bi file that is at the top level of the ZIP file. Do not extract the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Win64 folder that is inside the ZIP file. This folder contains the 64-bit edition of the Camera Raw plug-in, which is compatible only with the 64-bit edition of Photoshop CS4.)
Do one of the following:
If you are using a 32-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats. If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite.
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move Camera Raw.8bi into C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats. If you are prompted to overwrite the existing plug-in file, then click Yes or Overwrite

Camera Raw issue

I have been unable to edit my pictures in Camera Raw on Bridge. When I try to use this I get this message: " Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature". I am unclear on what this means. I have updated both Bridge and Photoshop and this did not work. I really need to use this to get these portraits to my customer. Any idea on how to get Camera Raw to work?

You need to provide more details. What version of PS/ Bridge? What version of ACR? What images? What system?

Camera raw 4.4 problem

I downloaded ACR 4.4 on my Mac, and Lightroom and Photoshop couldn't read files scanned on my Nikon Coolscan 4000. I read about the recall, and reinstalled both Lightroom 1.3 and Camera Raw 4.3 plugins. My scanned nef files are still unreadable by Adobe software.

First, set NikonScan to save your scans as Tiffs.
NikonScan software has a rather strange quirk:
If you Batch-scan to Tiffs those Tiffs will open in ACR.
However, if you scan only a SINGLE frame, that Tiff will NOT open in ACR.
There is a work-around (or at least it works for me):
In Bridge, Duplicate the errant Tiff (Cmd. D) and trash the original.
The duplicate should now open in ACR.

PSE 8 Camera Raw issues

I have Photoshop Elements 8 and I just recently started shooting in RAW, but when I try to download the files in Bridge (I have a Mac), the thumbnails don't show up. I went ahead and tried to download the files, even though I couldn't see what they were, but they just showed up as blank white files and Camera Raw won't open. I just did the update for Camera Raw 6.2 and restarted Bridge and PSE. Is there another update I am unaware of, or is there another suggestion I should try? I also read online to clear the cache, which I did, but nothing happened.

According to the Readme files for Camera Raw, ACR 6.6 is the last version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 8. What camera are you using? You should check the compatibility list for ACR 6.6 to ensure that your camera is supported in that version. If it isn't then you can download the latest DNG converter, 7.1, and convert your files to DNG. Then you should be able to open those with your version of Photoshop Elements.

Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
I'm not very familiar with Photoshop Camera Raw's installation if someone could please help me! My Photoshop CS6 is up to date and I installed the Adobe DNG Converter for my Mac along with Camera Raw 7.
