Camera RAW Mamiya ZD Back

Can anyone help me with the folling problem,
I want to import files from my Mamiya ZD back as Camera RAW (mef extension)in Aperture 3.0.3
It seems that the programm does'nt support that.

Aperture doesn't support that RAW format. Here's their supported camera list http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Send them feedback to let them know you want the ZD added to the list. http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html

Camera Raw Policy of Writing Back into Input Files

This came up in another thread, and I think it deserves its own discussion. I'd hope that we can influence the Camera Raw team's future direction. I welcome your input and opinions.
Given: Under some conditions Camera Raw writes data back into (overwrites) its input files.
Assuming you use Camera Raw to open your out-of-camera original files as many of us do, Adobe seems to be all over the road on whether to keep its hands off them or overwrite them...
Camera Raw will not touch a proprietary raw file, such as a Canon .CR2 or Nikon .NEF. There's a whole process for remembering settings in a separate database or sidecar XMP files. So far so good.
If you open a JPEG, TIFF, or DNG through Camera Raw, data WILL automatically be written back into it to tell another run of Camera Raw in the future what settings you used - without the software ever having warned you it will do so.
Some functions EXPLICITLY rewrite input files. You can ask the software to write new thumbnails back into DNG files, for example. This is fine - the user has instructed the software to overwrite the file, and the user is in charge, after all.
Overwriting/rewriting an input file without being instructed to do so is NON-INTUITIVE BEHAVIOR for an application. No one would expect an input file to be overwritten.
We do see that it causes people confusion. I'm sure there are people right now reading this in disbelief. I recommend you go test it for yourself (on a copy of one of your original files).
The original file being overwritten is one of the reasons why I don't configure Photoshop to open my out-of-camera JPEGs through Camera Raw.
Adobe's [mis]handling of input files on the surface seems to be derived from the history of DNG - where no camera actually writes the DNG file directly but it has been generated as an intermediate format through the DNG Converter, and as such can be handled with less "care" than an original camera file.
It seems to me that Camera Raw should NEVER write back into an INPUT file it is opening without a) letting the user know or b) being directed to do so.
Adobe:
Please give those of us who don't want our input files overwritten an option for using the database/XMP sidecar instead in EVERY case.
Thanks.

It depends.
As far as I can tell:
When a JPG or TIF file is Locked,
Camera Raw > Done results in a Write Permission Error.
When a DNG file is Locked,
Camera Raw > Done - writes a separate xmp sidecar file.
The JPG / TIF handling seems to me inconsistent. With a locked file I'd prefer to have a sidecar xmp created as well. Some of my JPG / TIF files are originals for me.

CS4: Easy way to switch to Camera Raw, then back to Photoshop?

Is there an easy way while editing an image in Photoshop, to "send" it to Camera Raw for quick edits (like Clarity, Temperature, etc.) and then back to Photoshop?
Right now I have to save my image, go to Bridge, then "open in Camera Raw" and then back to Photoshop. I'm just wondering if there's a shortcut for this directly from Photoshop that's all.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't ask for your opinion about a smooth workflow, just asked if there was that capability. There's obviously a reason why I need to switch back and forth. I do a lot of unique manipulation, there are functions in Camera Raw that are 500% faster to do than in Photoshop, but there are custom filters I need to apply first. Sometimes that requires me to switch back and forth. What's NOT a smooth workflow is having to save an image, closing it, opening it another Adobe program, saving it, then back in the first program.
In older versions of Photoshop you could easily switch back and forth from Photoshop to Imageready with ONE BUTTON CLICK. Just wondering if it's possible to do that with PS and Camera Raw, that's all.

Camera Raw exposure slider jumps back

I´m desperate
The exposure slider in camera raw always jumps back or forward to the nearly next full f-stop if I choose another slider!

Adobe Camera Raw - Cancel a crop or straighten - ESC not working

Hey Guys,
I am trying to learn photoshop for the first time. I currently have Photoshop CS5.1, but am thinking about upgrading to CC in the near future. I have been following along with tutorials on Lynda.com in order to learn all of the functionality of the program.
I am currently in the section learning about Adobe Camera RAW and how to utilize it. The instructor was talking about using the straighten tool or crop tool and how it is not destructive to the image at all. He says to click on either tool and then hit the ESC key to revert the changes that you made. However, when I do this, it exits me out of Adobe Camera RAW all together. I thought initially that it might be because I was in full screen mode, but i hit the F key and tried it again with the same outcome.
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I just messed with it further tonight. It looks like it is working correctly with the 'Crop' tool. However, it is not working correct with the Straighten tool. I use the straighten tool, click enter to straighten the image. If the image does not look correct to me, I click on the straighten tool again and hit the ESC key to revert it back to the original. As soon as I hit the ESC key (while clicked on the straighten tool) it closes out of Adobe Camera RAW and goes back to Adobe Bridge.
Which operating system are you using?

What is the difference between LR Develop and Camera Raw?

I am new to LR, but have been using PS for some time. My old work flow was to shoot in RAW transfer to my computer HD then process first in Camera Raw and do final adjustments in PS, then save back to the computer HD.
So far I like LR, which came as a bundle with my subscription to PS CC. But I'm confused about LR's proper place in the workflow.
So a few questions.
Is LR Develop the equivalent of Camera Raw? If it is then can it substitute Camera Raw?
If not then should I process first in LR Develop before going to Camera Raw? I like being able to apply adjustments to multiple photos in a shoot, but I still want the power of Camera Raw for some things, unless LR Develop does that better.
So I'm wondering what the best work flow is.
Is it Shoot>LR>Develop>Camera Raw>PS>Save back to LR.
Or is it Shoot>LR>Camera Raw>LR Develop>PS>Save back to LR. (This one seems very difficult)
Hoping to end my confusion,
Bob Gall

Is LR Develop the equivalent of Camera Raw?
The image processing algorithms are identical.
If it is then can it substitute Camera Raw?
Yes, if you are going to use LR
So I'm wondering what the best work flow is.
Do as much development work as possible in Lightroom. Only if you need additional editing power (that Lightroom doesn't have) would you choose to send the photo to Photoshop. In this case, you would use the Lightroom command: right-cilck on the photo and choose Edit In... https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/open-lightroom-photos-external-applications.html#op en_photos_in_photoshop
This sends a copy of your edited image to Photoshop for whatever you want to do there. Once completed in Photoshop, you would do a SAVE (not Save As) in Photoshop for Lightroom to recognize the edits done in Photoshop.
You may (or may not) find that certain photos don't even need Photoshop.
Camera Raw is not needed in this workflow.

Parsing problem in Camera Raw

"Unable to save the raw conversion settings. There was an error parsing the file."
This error message has begun to appear frequently when after working on old (3-4 yrs old) jpeg files. No problem opening the files, but clicking "Done" brings up the error message (and, of course, the changes are not saved.) Some files in a folder are fine; others get this error. I see no obvious difference between the files. I've tried making a duplicate of the file and working on that. Sometimes that works, but usually not.
Is there some way to fix this problem when it occurs? I'd appreciate any ideas. (Using Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7.)

First, let me say that you might get more direct answers by posting into the Camera Raw forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw
They may ask you for a file with which to reproduce the problem.
Out of curiosity, did you open these JPEG files at some point in the past using an older version of Camera Raw? Assuming you did, keep in mind that Camera Raw writes metadata back into JPEG files when you open them, even if you never direct the software to save back to the original JPEG file. Put simply, an "original" JPEG file is no longer original after Camera Raw has been used on it. Yes, it's hard to believe.
If I'm on the right track here, it sounds as though not only did it write data back into the file, but now perhaps the new version can't quite make sense of what the older version wrote.
I have an open thread in the Camera Raw forum in which I am requesting that this behavior (writing data back to the input file) be made optional. Please feel free to add to it if that's what's happened to you.

DNG Converter/ Camera Raw for CS3 (D3000)

1. I have a Nikon D3000
2. I have CS3
3. I took 3 graduation pictures and set of engagement pics in RAW
4. I am trying to convert them so I can open them up in CS3 because naturally Raw files cannot open up in CS3. I downloaded MULTIPLE DNG convertors. From recent to not so recent. On all of them I am able to see the menu....but right when i click select files ALL of my .nef pics are grey and unclickable.
PLEASE HELP ME. I am miserable using other peoples computer.
SIDENOTE: I tried to also put camera raw on CS3 . I put the correct version for my camera and it still didn't work. My main goal is to use Camera Raw for editing.
once again...please help

To add to what Noel has said...
The DNG Converter is a standalone program that you run off Start -> All Programs -> Adobe -> DNG Converter.
The DNG Converter operates on entire folders at once so there are no thumbnails involved.
Once you have converted all the NEFs to DNGs in a particular folder using the DNG Converter, you could still have problem seeing the NEFs if your camera RAW is too new, as it sounds like you might have done.
To fix this, please re-install (manually copy?) the Camera RAW plug-in back to the highest version number that is compatible with CS3, which would be 4.6:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
Check to see what version of Camera RAW you have by going into Photoshop and choosing Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera RAW (and make sure there is only one instances of Camera RAW listed).
Unless you update to CS4 or CS5 that can work with the NEFs, directly, when viewing the folder in Bridge, you will always see gray NEF icons for the original RAW files, but you should see thumbnails for the DNGs you've converted.
If might be good that when you convert NEFs to DNGs that you put the DNGs into a subfolder of the NEFs, so you don't have half your thumbnails being gray NEFs.

Camera raw for Sony A7

I havw Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and need update camera raw for Sony A7? Where can I find it?

Support for the A7 was added in the latest version of Camera Raw 8.3 back in December. Adobe only updates shipping products so you’d need to upgrade to PSE12:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
An alternative is to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to create DNGs from your ARWs, one folder at a time. The DNGs will have the added information that older versions of the ACR plug-in need to open the files.
You can find the DNG Converter on the general Adobe updates page:

Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR). And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS. See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

After updating Camera Raw from 8.4.1 to 8.5, it revert back to 8.0

During last Creative Cloud periodic update, I saw in the list the update to ACR 8.5. After the update, I have checked, and on both Bridge and Photoshop, the version of ACR reverted back to 8.0. Before of the upgrade was 8.4.1. In the order, I tried to:
1) Update from internal functions of Bridge and Photoshop. Update check result was that there wasn't available update (ACR appeared in the list as application)
2) Install manually ACR 8.5 from a manual update package indicated in a similar post on this forum.
3) Uninstall both Bridge and Photoshop.
4) Re-install Bridge and Photoshop.
After all actions, the ACR version available is still 8.0. I'm really surprised, because I can't understand from where is coming the 8.0 version, considering that my version before the update was 8.4.1.

Many thanks to Noel and Ashutosh
I don't know how geeky you want to get, but if you're comfortable navigating around folders and zip files, here's a manual technique that will work...
Close Photoshop first, then:
Download the 8.5 manual update link from here: Don't run the installer, but instead just Open the zip file in Windows Explorer.
http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.5.50/setup.zip
Navigate inside the zip file to find the resources inside that correspond to the 64 or 32 bit Photoshop version that you're running. I assume you have installed the 64 bit version, so the rest of the instructions will concentrate on the 64 bit Camera Raw.8bi only. Here's the path:
setup.zip \ payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245 \ Assets1_1.zip
The file within Assets1_1.zip, named 1002, is actually the Camera Raw.8bi file for 64 bits, just with a different name.
Copy 1002 to your folder on your computer where your Camera Raw.8bi normally lives, e.g.,
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats
Rename the old Camera Raw.8bi file to Camera Raw.8bi_8.0. It's important that the extension is changed to something other than .8bi.
Rename 1002 to Camera Raw.8bi
Run Photoshop and verify the Camera Raw version by choosing Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw.
-Noel
Please install DNG converter from following link. This would update the Camera Profiles to 8.5 version. .

How do I get a file BACK to camera raw in CS5?

I worked on a file in camera raw, and accidentally pressed enter (well, I actually pressed it on purpose, thinking that would just accept the action I was working on), which sent the file to PS. I wanted to continue working on the file in camera raw, but I can't figure out how to get the raw file back to camera raw.
Help please.

One way was given above.Other way --go to Bridge & right click thumbnail and clear Develop settings.That is it.
Basically ,pl note that all changes made in Raw are stored in XMP file that is generated beside the original one.No Changes are made in Raw file.Open Bridge Keep track of one thumnail and delete its XMP file in explorer.The moment u delete the XMP file , ur thumbnail is restored to original. U have the same non-destuctive nature in Lightroom also but in a different fashion.Since ur question is basic now, U are going to enjoy RAW editing after going deep into it.Have a nice learning
