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.

Thank you for the imput. I don't know what you mean when you say LR doesn't use Adoble Camera Raw. My LR2.7 is able to process raw files from my 20D. I don't care if it does it with ACR or some other processing software. The issue is whether whatever software is used by LR can be updated to deal with new camera raw files. It is pretty annoying if it cannot be. I would even pay a reasonable amount if that were necessary.
ACR is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements which enables users to work on raw images from supported cameras. All of that technology that is in that plug-in is part of the Lightroom program, the plug-in is not used by Lightroom. ACR must be updated approximately 4 times each year in order to add support for new cameras and to make other changes in the plug-in. In order to get those changes in Lightroom, it is necessary to upgrade the entire Lightroom program. Interim releases are made available to Lightroom users who have purchased the program. For instance, if you purchased Lightroom 2, then versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc. are all available to you at no cost. But when Lightroom 3.0 is released or 4.0 is released, then it is necessary for you to purchase an upgrade in order to continue to get the updates.

I have shot in camer raw on a canon mark 3 and the shots will not open in light room how dod I solve

How do I open shots from a Canon Mark 3 (RAW )?

Greig,
Please check the compatibility of the camera raw file with your camera by following the link below:

If updating the lightroom to the above version still has issues please try to uninstall and reinstall and update the Lightroom again to same version.

Please direct me to the Photoshop CS6 camera raw plugin for Canon G15 digital camera

please direct me to the Photoshop CS6 camera raw plugin for Canon G15 digital camera
Thank you

Hi, rich_fred.
As the Canon G15 is a very new model, support is not yet available through Camera Raw. In the meantime, try out the software that came with you camera, to see if it can export a TIF or JPEG, which should open up in Photoshop just fine.
Hopefully support for the G15 will be available in the next Camera Raw update. You can find a list of supported cameras here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier? Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

With the Photoshop and Lightroom bundle, does Bridge and Camera Raw come with it?

With the Photoshop and Lightroom bundle, does Bridge and Camera Raw come with it?

Hi,
Yes, both Camera Raw and Bridge are included. Bridge will need a separate installation, however.

Having problems with Canon Raw / Jpeg with Canon 5D

I have been noticing every time I open up a Raw file in CS2 the colors seem to be off and when I open up the Jpeg pic. they are compleatley different. The Jpeg files colors really pop, where the Raw files look blowen out and take a lot of work in editing.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade to the CS4 package? Or is it a camera setting that I am missing?
When I was shooting a Canon 10D both Raw and Jpeg were the same and the colors were good. Thanks Keig

What you are seeing is the difference between how Canon develops the images and how Adobe develops the image (in CS2). Your options are somewhat limited in CS2 but you can try the following:
Open up a 5D image in Camera Raw.
Make adjustments to make the image look as close to the Jpeg as you can. This will probably mean adding some contrast, upping the shadows/blacks clipping point, and adding some saturation.
Save those settings as a new Camera Raw default. I don't remember if that is in the same place it is now ("Save new camera raw default" from the fly-out menu on the tab bar) but look around and you should find it.
The hardest part will be trying to get a good match on the color. An upgrade to CS4 would give you many enhancements to Camera Raw, including new Canon-like profiles that will give you 5D color similar to what you get in-camera or from Canon's Digital Photo Professional software.
Hope that helps.

Manipulating Camera Raw settings with javascript

Is it possible to manipulate the Camera Raw settings with a javascript? I've been looking for info on this and have had no luck finding any.
What I'm doing is multiple conversions from a single RAW file set at different exposures, brightnesses, sharpnesses, etc.
Here are the basic steps:
1. Open RAW file in ACR.
2. Adjust for a baseline image.
3. Open image as an object in Photoshop.
4. Duplicate that object layer and run "edit settings" on this new layer.
5. Make adjustments ***
6. Click OK to apply new settings to this layer.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 on original layer as many times as needed.
I got everything working as I want, but I'd like to be able to automate step 5 for certain file types so that it will set some of the settings for me without going through the dialog to do this. The settings I'd really like to be able to adjust this way are exposure and brightness and if possible, I'd like to set them in relation to the original layer's settings for those parameters.

Here is what I had in mind. Note the document is the same size as the raw file. This will place 5 copies of the raw file in the activeDocument, each with a different exposure.
var rawFile = new File( "~/Desktop/DSC_5396.NEF" );
var xmpFile = new File( "~/Desktop/DSC_5396.xmp" );
var exposures = ['-2.0','-1.0','0.0','1.0','2.0'];
for(var e=0;e<exposures.length;e++){
     setExposure( xmpFile, exposures[e] );
     placeFile( rawFile );
function setExposure( file, exp ){
     file.open('r');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix";
     file.open("r", "TEXT", "????");
     var xmpStr = file.read();
     file.close();
     loadXMPLibrary();
     var xmp = new XMPMeta( xmpStr );
     xmp.setProperty( XMPConst.NS_CAMERA_RAW, "Exposure", exp );
     file.open('w');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix";
     file.write( xmp.serialize() );
     file.close();
function placeFile( file) {
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc.putPath( charIDToTypeID('null'), file );
    desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('FTcs'), charIDToTypeID('QCSt'), charIDToTypeID('Qcsa') );
        var offsetDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
        offsetDesc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hrzn'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 0.000000 );
        offsetDesc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Vrtc'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 0.000000 );
    desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Ofst'), charIDToTypeID('Ofst'), offsetDesc );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Plc '), desc, DialogModes.NO );
function loadXMPLibrary(){
     if ( !ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript ){
          try{
               ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject
                                                            ('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
          }catch (e){
               alert( ErrStrs.XMPLIB );
               return false;
     return true;
function unloadXMPLibrary(){
   if( ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript ) {
      try{
         ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript.unload();
         ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = undefined;
      }catch (e){

Does Camera Raw come with CC or another program?

Does Camera Raw come with CC or another program? I don't see it in the options.

Camera Raw is not a program, it is a plug-in/ extension for Photoshop, Bridge and other programs that latch onto this like when importing Raw files in video apps.

Digital camera raw 3.2 issue with Canon 1000d

Hi all,
When I install the digital camera raw 3.2 update, Aperture 3 (3.0.3) gives me the indication to reprocess all master files. After that my images become darker and the colours like red, orange and skin tones become very saturated and strange compared with the previous version.
To solve this problem I revert to the previous version of digital camera raw and everything is ok now.
Follow the tip in the link above. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11148487&#11148487
My English isn’t very good, however my experience could save some troubles and time to other users.

You need to reprocess them in Aperture. Ap3 has a better more advanced raw processor/converter than ap2 It is far superior and the first thing i noticed on ap3. Try on an image you thought was at it's best and could not be improved. I will be surprised if you can not make it better in ap3.
My suggestion is to process them one at a time, before you want to make some image adjustments.

PSE7/ACR 5.6 issue with Canon 7D raw images too dark - solution?

Whenever shooting both jpeg and raw images with my Canon 7D and uploading to PSE7 (where I use ACR 5.6 to convert raw) the raw thumbnails are a stop darker than the jpegs. When converting a raw 7D image, the exposure needs to be increased by a stop (this needs to be done whether or not jpegs are also shot). This phenomena does not occur with my Canon 50D using the same raw converter - the jpeg and raw image display the same exposure and raw images do not need the exposure increased.
I have noticed in the raw converter on the Camera Calibration tab that - for the 50D - the Camera Profile contains ACR 4.6, Adobe Standard, and the Canon camera profiles, whereas for the 7D the Camera Profile only has the Adobe Standard and the camera profiles. The converter does say 7D at the top of the screen, however, so the converter recognizes the 7D. Is there a 7D Camera Profile that needs to somehow be configured/uploaded, etc.? ( I did run CameraProfiles.exe)
The 50D and 7D are set up the same, so this is not an ALO or some other camera setup issue - I have done extensive testing in this area. Also, Canon DPP displays the thumbnails (raw & jpeg) and the raw conversion exposure correctly, which tells me that this issue has something to do with ACR 5.6.
Is this a setup issue in 5.6? Or, do I need to upgrade to PSE8 and ACR 5.7 or 6.1 to get around this?
Thanks for your assistance.
Ed

Update:
I installed PSE9, which comes with ACR 6.1, and the issue was not resolved. So, I downloaded ACR 6.2 - same problem: EOS 7D raw images (thumbnails and when opened in raw converter) are 1 stop under-exposed. As stated above, Canon's DPP doesn't exhibit this problem, nor does FastStone Image Viewer, only ACR. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks for any help.

Jeff
You were right on the money !
The camera was recording sRAW images
- this despite the fact that it shows RAW on the camera and the file icons are labelled RAW
I changed to 'true' RAW and Bridge and CS3 work just fine
Thanks again

Canon 5d mark iii camera raw files with CS3

Hi, I recently bought a Canon 5d mark iii camera and am having difficulty viewing the raw files on my Mac. The Mac operating software is 10.5.8 and the mac doesnt have intel. Photoshop software is CS3. I have looked at various plug ins but am struggling to find one that will work. Is there no option to me other than buying a new laptop with the latest photoshop or is there a workaround? Thanks in advance for your help, Mike

Here's the bottom line:
You will never be able to open the image files from your Canon 5d mark III directly in CS3, because that camera model was first supported in Camera Raw 6.7 (which only works with CS5) and 7.1 which only works with CS6.
However, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 and convert your Canon raw files to raw DNGs that you can open with any version of ACR starting with ACR 2.4, which takes you all the way back to CS1. Therefore, you'll be able to open them in CS3 with no problem.
Get the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, it is a stand-alone application that is not tied to whatever version of Photoshop you happen to use. The current version is 7.1 and there's also a beta version 7.2RC1.
Yes, if you can afford a Canon 5D Mark III, you can afford to upgrade from CS3 to CS6 for very little money ($199 for a perpetual license) if you act fast. CS3 will be out of the upgrade loop in late December or so.
I'm one of the many to whom the prospect of buying into Adobe's subscription mode and end up paying the Adobe tribute every month for life seems nothing less than repulsive.
With that camera (a rich man's camera) is silly to be using a laptop (a beggar's machine). Get a decent desktop Mac or PC already!
