Camera raw processing issue

Downloaded photos taken with Canon 5D mk III to ZoomBrowser and Adobe Bridge using Scandisk reader. Photos will not open in photshop CS6 camera raw. Photos taken with Canon 7D will open fine. Is issue with camera or PS CS6?

The 5DmkIII needs at least Camera Raw version 7.1. CS6 comes with Camera Raw 7.0. Have you ever updated Camera Raw?
If you're not using an ancient operating system, you can update to the latest version, 8.6, which still works with CS6:

How to combine Camera-Raw processed files to be viewed within Windows Explorer as processed

      The problem I have with camera processed files is that when viewed within Explorer what you did on the file, the crop, and other effects are not visible within Windows Explorer. What is visible there is the original file--this seems to be true of the original nef file in my case. The change does appear if you save it as a .tif, .dng or .psd but not the NEF. But if you were to open again the NEF file and the RAW Window opens you can see your changes immediately.
        I know it is because with an original raw file nothing has been done to the image except give it instructions so to speak but Bridge does see it as such so why not let Explorer (Or other viewers, for ex. XnView) view it as such as well? Perhaps this is more a Microsoft Windows issue or what-have-you but I thought I would start to present it here first.
Where's the question? The question is not actually for someone to explain why this is so, I think I may understand this a little but rather the question is, would it be possible to let other software such as Explorer see the raw processed file--to let it see it as Bridge sees it? Yeah I guess this may be a Windows issue but.....
   Why does this bother me? Since I don't use Photoshop or Bridge professionally I view images more often in Explorer then I do in Bridge or PS (The former is instantaneously viewable while the latter take way to long to open--and Bridge vs. XnView needs an extra step.)
        Side note: Sometimes I feel I am wasting my time and yours in writing such silly questions nevertheless they present themselves in my brain and in the process I hope to learn something from it regardless of its silliness/stupidity. It is such questions which at times creates something original, therefore creativity, after all, does it not? (Or so I tell myself in order to justify it all :-)

Capture One vs Adobe Camera Raw processing - what is better?

Hi,
I regularly shoot on a P45 back and Hassleblad camera. I shoot using Capture One software. It is much more convenient for me to process the files in Photoshop's Raw convertor than Capture One but I'm always a little worried that maybe it lacks the quality? I've not noticed any quality dip but most high end digital camera outlets process on Capture One.
Are their any significant differences if I process in Photoshop rather than Capture One? Is the quality the same?
One further detail: my images are heavily worked in Photoshop so very small colour variations are probably going to be negligible for my way of working.
Many thanks,
Mr Hairdo.

While I certainly agree that skill of the operator is the largest factor, I think it is a fair question because the results very dramatically.
Attached are screen shots from a very weak shot (go ahead and blast it) that was over exposed. I dropped the exposure by one stop in Aperture, ACR 5.3 and Capture One Pro 4.8 and did some high light recovery in each. You can see how varied the responses are with the image and histiogram. These are all at 100% and shot with a Nikon D3. If anyone can offer a clearer understanding of why the results are so varied that would be very helpful.
Thanks,

Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

Hi folks,
I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
- No previews or ratings showing
- Ratings filter not working
- Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
- Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit

How to make CS6 Camera Raw process in 16 bit mode by default

I just received my Adobe Photoshop CS6 and downloaded the current updates. I have noticed that when I download raw images into Bridge the Metadata indicates that the images have a '16 Bit Depth' but when I open the images in Camera Raw the 'Image Mode' indicates that the image is only 8 bits. I never had this problem with CS4 as it would always open the images as '16 bit' so how can I get CS6 to process the raw images as 16 bit by default? Thanks for any help!!!

Hi,
In the camera raw dialog click on the Workflow Options at the bottom of the camera raw dialog
and under Depth set it to 16 bits/channel.

Nikon D7000 LR4 Camera Raw color issues

I just upgraded my camera from a Nikon D70 to a D7000.
Problem: When I process the RAW /NEF files with Adobe Lightroom 4 the color is terrible. By that I mean, the images look dull, dark and have no pop. The coloring is not even close to what is displayed on the Nikon camera screen.
When I use Nikon View NX: The software which is pakaged with the camera produces an image which is, or almost identical to the image on the camera after the photo is taken.
I like the funcionality of lightroom better than ViewNX, so what I have been doing is processing with ViewNX and then exporting to a TIFF. Opening up LR4 and then importing and cataloging. This process is a pain and time consuming.
I also have found LR3 does a better job than LR4 at processing the images.
Is there a way I can tweak or download corrected ACR settings to match my Nikon D7000.

I have figured out myself the profile correction problem for my Nikon D7000 NEF Problem. It almost match to the one in NX2 or even on camera LCD. the following is what I have adjusted in my LR4
Brightness +1.00
Contrasts +28~33
Shadow +40~55
Black -25
Don't Forget change the Profile setting on Camera Calibration under the Develop mode to match the what you set on your camera. I always shot on Standard mode, therefore I set the Profile to Camera Standard.
The following is the way I figure it out.
1. I imported the photo under "Zeroed" at Import page under Develop setting > Lightroom Genaral Present > Zeroed
2. Open one of the imported picture on Develop mode
3. Scroll down to Camera Calibration change the profile setting to match they one you set on your camera, in this case I choose Camera standard.
4. Under the Camera Calibration>Process you will see 2012(Present), changed it to 2010, and change it back to 2012 (present again)
5. You will notice that the develop setting automaticly change to the following (Brightness -1.00, contrasts -33 and black +25) Let say this is what lightroom did to your picture( from Nikon D7000 NEF)
6. and then Change everything back to " 0 " will you find your picture nearly close to the one you saw on NX2.0 or Nikon LCD
If your found the step above is hard to follow, please just change the Brightness +1.00, Contrasts +33 and Black -25, and dont forget adjust a bit of shadow as well.
for the people who dont know what Nikon done to Nikon D7000, please dont be expert to say "you dont know RAW". please read more reviews first before helping people who are new to RAW or even stuck on RAW. This forum is helping people with our knowledge, is not to make people need help to get more confuse.
For Nikon D7000 user.... Remember turn D-Lightning off.... this is one of the problem will cause LR4 change your tone to more darker, especially on portrait photoshot. Hopefully Adobe will realease the new update soon to match the new system inside Nikon camera.
Please note that the step above only Apply for Nikon D7000 and Lightroom 4 only. And it is not 100% correct to what you seen on your camera, at least is 80~90% Match!!

Lightroom / Camera Raw / Photoshop issues

I have a workflow problem that's driving me nuts, so I'm hoping someone can help. I organize my photos in Lightroom and do most of my editing in Photoshop CS6. The problem I'm having is that if I select a photo in LR, then work on it in Photoshop, I can't figure out any way to incorporate Adobe Camera Raw into that process. I can open the photos in Raw via Bridge, then process and reopen them in Photoshop, but when I save them, Lightroom doesn't find or recognize them. So what's the workflow to process photos in Camera Raw, then Photoshop, while still having Lightroom recognize them and know where they are?

I agree, the best answers are in the previous replies to the OP. Use Lightroom.!
As an alternative-
If you open a RAW image into Photoshop by a Right-click and select- "Edit In" then "Open as Smart Object in Photoshop" you will have the image open as a background layer in Photoshop with the small corner "smart object" icon. If you then Double-left-click on the PS layer thumbnail this will re-open the image in ACR linked to Photoshop (not Lightroom). This allows you to have created many extra adjustment layers in PS but always go back to ACR if you save the edited image as PSD or TIFF with layers. This is 'Non-destructive' re-editing of the background layer.

Photoshop cs5 camera raw process 2012

I have a student with cs5.1, and the most recent version of camera raw allowed. In it you can select the 2012 process but you cannot make any changes - it simply offers to convert it back to 2010 process. Its new to me
Any ideas...

Does PSE 10 support and is it compatible with Adobe Camera Raw Process 2012?

I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 but am still using Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer to manage my collection. It appears that the new Process 2012 that is available with the Camera Raw processor is not supported by PSE 8 and in fact PSE 8 changes (as best it can) the adjustments back to Process 2010 if I add a caption to a photo in the Organizer. This also happens if I write properties and tags to to the image file. Does PSE 10 support Process 2012?

Bill Junk -- your entire set of comments seems to be way off topic, but I'll address them anyway. If you want to continue this discussion about LR, you should really start a new thread (and probably in the LR forum)
Has Lightroom 4 made any fundamental changes in the way they let you organize, tag, and manage files in your collection?
There are minor changes to the Library Module in LR4, but nothing major.
My complaint about LR 3 is that it seems to flatten my image tagging structure when I import catalog data from PSE.
This would happen because you are doing it wrong. If you upgrade the PSE catalog to a LR catalog, your tag structure/hierarchy remains intact.
I have a very nice and organized file structure for maintaining my collection and don't like relying on a database to keep track of everything.
But the tags in PSE are in a database. Your folder hierarchy is really a database in your operating system.
If the Lightroom DB every goes belly up I suspect that years of adding entries would be lost.
There are so many misconceptions about LR. I have no idea how this gets started, but this isn't true. There are simple ways to prevent this from happening.
Suppose your Windows (or Mac) folders (which are a really a database in your operating system) get corrupted. Suppose your hard disk fails. Then what would you do?
The way I'm currently organized and having key information stored in the image files I can usually find what I want quickly using something as simple as Windows Explorer.
Lightroom has this capability too.

Does Photoshop Elements11 with Camera Raw process Pentax KIIs Raw files?

Does Photoshop Elements11 with the provided Camera Raw version process Pentax KIIs Raw files? If not, is there another Adobe plug-in that would handle Pentx KIIs Raw?

MichelBParis wrote:
From the specifications I have read, your Pentax camera can shoot in the Adobe DNG raw format. There should be no problem with Pentax DSLRs.
This thread has been confusing. With due respect, you are using the right terms in the wrong places.
"RAW" is a generic term for unprocessed photo from a camera. No camera that I know of makes files like "filename.raw". Each camera brand that shoots RAW photos has their own file name. I think for a Nikon it is "filename.nef". For my Sony, it is "filename.arw".
As cameras are introduced, Adobe get the file structure information from the camera manufacturer and weaves it into their products via Adobe Camera Raw or "ACR". Think of it as a translator that can make unprocessed camera data as viewable. ACR marches through version numbers as new cameras are produced. Until a camera model is included in an ACR version, its RAW files are unusable in Adobe products.
There is some concern in the photo world that specific cameras brands may go out of business and their RAW format will become "unsupported". Adobe has tried to answer that by introducing a "generic" RAW format called "DNG" and free Adobe software called "Digital Negative Converter" that uses the same structure as ACR. The purpose is to convert any camera manufacturer's format to the generic format. In a perfect world that is only focused on the user, the entire world would adopt DNG like happened to .jpg. In other words, life would be easier if all cameras shot .dng files like they do .jpg.
If the Pentax KIIs shoots .dng files, I am impressed. I've not heard of any other brand doing that. Nikon, Canon, Sony and Panasonic have not gone there.

D800 / CAMERA RAW SHARPNESS ISSUES

Perhaps somebody else is also having this problem:
I own a Nikon D800, which performs beautifully, but I have hit a snag with it: If I open its raw files using ACR (for later edition either in Lightroom or Photoshop) even though they contain a staggering amount of detail, they somehow fail to live up to the expectations a full-frame 36MP camera generates regarding image sharpness.
To further illustrate: I also own a Fuji XE-2, which has an APS 16MP sensor, which, however, offers stunning, razor-sharp images almost every time I press the shutter. Opening these files in ACR is a delight and you have to edit them much less than the D800 files to get the image you had previously visualized.
However, if I open the NEF files using Nikon's own Capture NX-D software, voilà! The images look as sharp as they should have from the start in ACR. But, if I export the resulting edit, via TIFF, either to Lightroom or Photoshop, again you feel disappointed, they are too soft: I did not pay a hefty chunk of my cash for the camera and lenses to get soft pictures.
The gist of the problem here is that Capture NX-D is a fine piece of software but it handles a little stiffly when compared to ACR and introducing it in my workflow would slow things down.
Does anyone have an idea how to overcome this problem to get sharp images from NEF files in ACR?

Nikon has a raw conversion software in their camera and computer-based applications which consists of algorithms and parameters that guide the application of the algorithms to render a JPG.
Adobe has a raw conversion software which consists of algorithms and parameters that guide the application of the algorithms to render the raw data as an RGB image that you see, and eventually save as some file format.
The raw conversion algorithms are proprietary within each company and Nikon parameters that may be embedded in the NEF file are only relevant to Nikon software. Let’s say the sharpening parameters in the NEF file are +3. What does that mean to Adobe which has an Amount slider of 0 to 150? So Adobe ignores the Nikon-specific sharpness parameters. Until Adobe and Nikon are the same company (as well as Canon and Sony and Panasonic and Olympus and Leica, etc) Adobe will have different algorithms and parameters to guide the raw conversion than the camera manufacturers. Some day we may live in a society where the state provides all photography hardware and software and everything is the same, but until then, there is competition between various companies and intellectual property rights and patent laws that keep each from knowing exactly what the other is doing.
Adobe converts raw files from many models and brands of cameras. For the most part they use the same algorithms and parameters for each of these models and brands.
Suppose you work for a photography company with many photographers where some use Nikon and some use Canon and some use Sony, etc, and it is your job to work on each of those raw files. If Adobe had one set of sliders for Nikon files and another set for Canon files and another set for Sony files, in other words if Adobe tried to do the things as specific to the camera manufacturer as possible, then it would be difficult to work on the raw files across the various camera manufacturers. If you use Adobe software it shouldn’t matter what brand or model of camera you’re working with, the workflow should be similar and the results similar to the extent the raw data, itself, is similar.

Frustrating Camera RAW colour issue

Hi guys,
I have a really frustrating issue when using CameraRAW in PS. Basically when I switch on the filter CameraRAW it will mess with the colours. I haven't changed anything settings in CameraRAW. I've attached an image to illustrate. Please help. This issue is driving me crazy!
Edit: The most obvious issue is the with red Google+ icon becoming somewhat desaturated.
Cheers

I am not seeing any change, except in the histogram, when I turn the CR-filter-component eye on and off.
In more detail:
I have an sRGB-sized gamut monitor but use a ProPhotoRGB workspace in PS. I copy-pasted a crop of your left, more saturated screenshot into PS and assigned it an sRGB profile. Your PNG screenshot didn't contain any color profile so I just guessed it was sRGB. Your monitor could be wide-gamut in which case I should have assigned AdobeRGB to be approximately correct. Because my monitor is approximately sRGB and the image was assigned a profile of sRGB, despite the workspace being a larger ProPhotoRGB, no pixels are outside the monitor gamut, because both the image and the monitor are sRGB.
On the image I'd just pasted into a new PS document, I created a smart object then added the CR-filter and clicked Ok without changing anything and I don't see any desaturation or other visual difference when I turn the smart-filter CR eye on and off; however, I do see the histogram change. CR uses an internal ProPhotoRGB-wide colorspace and I think this is why I see the histogram change so much when I turned the CR-filter component eye on and off--PS is showing me the histogram as if the image is in ProPhotoRGB instead of sRGB.
I then converted the sRGB image to ProPhotoRGB, and repeated the same SO-CR-filter, eye-on-off, and the online version still doesn't change, but this time the histogram doesn't, much, eitehr, because the image colorspace and the CR-workingspace are similar.
Since your image is changing, I'm suspicious that there are some CR sliders set to non-zero, somewhere, or your monitor profile is very out-of-whack, so PS isn't actually displaying the proper colors.
The desaturation is about what would be expected if you were viewing an AdobeRGB image using an sRGB profile. Without knowing what monitor you have and whether your monitor profile is properly created, it's hard to guess what is wrong for you.
If you want to upload your PSD, to maybe www.dropbox.com, and post a public download link to it, here, someone might be able to test what happens for them. I don't have a ColorEfex filter on my side so I'm not sure if that would affect things. Uploading a version of the image without the ColorEfex smart filter might be good.

Camera Raw mouseover issue

a few days ago, when opening Bridge (which I use for editing and organizing Canon RAW digital photo files, which I then edit and convert using CameraRaw), I got a message saying that my CameraRaw application couldn't be found. I quit Bridge and reopened it and CameraRaw was there. But now I have this annoying (small, yet very irritating) problem - in the CameraRaw edit screen (the righthand side, where the edit controls such as Adjust/ Detail/ etc are), the mouse icon gets all flickery. It seems to be fine in all other applications, but it sort of cuts in and out just in that edit area.
This is problematic, because I use it for editing thousands of RAW images pretty carefully. I'm running CS2 and CameraRaw 3.7, so they are pretty out of date, but I was hoping to make it through the summer on my current setup. I can't find my CS2 install disc (my fear is that it's somewhere in the garage... yikes!) so I can't try a reinstall to see if that helps. I use the bluetooth wireless Mighty Mouse, and have tried putting in fresh batteries, but it hasn't helped. This has never happened before (and I've been using this setup for several years) - is there anything that would suddenly make my mouse icon inconsistent, faint, flickery and cut out?
Any ideas? I know it's not strictly an Apple question but figured I could start here... thanks.

Hi Jessamyn Harris;
I don't think an Archive & Install will buy you much.
I think if you was your Adobe products to work you need to update.

Adobe Camera Raw 8.6 issue with Nikon D810 files

Just installed ACR 8.6 with D810 support.
A huge amount of moire is introduced when selecting the following profiles: camera standard, camera landscape, camera vivid, and camera monochrome.
All other profiles (adobe standard, camera neutral, camera flat, and camera portrait) seem ok.
The problem exists in Photoshop (via ACR) and in Lightroom 5.6. Please note that Nikon Capture NX-D doesn't have this issue.
Example: Check the upper portion of the following image:

I have experienced the same, although having never owned a camera without the olpf, I did not realize that what I was seeing was moire -- I was calling it "color banding" as if shooting with a low bit rate or very small color gamut.
I think the same issue is referred to in the following post: http://www.dslrbodies.com/accessories/software-for-nikon-dslrs/software-news/acr-86-and-li ghtroom-56.html but he is vague as to just what the "issue" is.
I noticed this issue not only with acr, but on the back of the lcd of the 810 itself. Wondering if I was doing something wrong in terms of settings or if it was a bad copy of the d810, I contacted nikon support. They were not helpful and told me to return the unit for repair. I saw this to a great degree on the lcd, to a small degree even in the raw images processed via Capture NX-D and to some extent via acr 8.6 as you say, when using he following profiles: camera standard, camera landscape, camera vivid, and camera monochrome. Since I was not able to convince myself tat it was not an issue with the camera itself, I returned the d810, so I was not stuck with a problematic unit or having to wait for a repair. Now of course I just have to wait for a replacement unit!!
Again, I am curious as to the extent others are seeing this problem. I am seeing nothing but superlatives posted by others. I am hoping that this is some raw processing issue and a bad lcd screen on my original d810, but it seems too big of a coincidence. If it is a matter of Adobe racing to keep up with the new profiles ok, but if this is the extent that I am going to see moire on a camera of this price then it is not worth the upgrade.
What are others experiencing?

Camera RAW and Elements Hang during Thumbnail Generation...

Ever since I upgraded to the newest version of Camera Raw, I have been having issues with Photoshop Elements hanging while automatically generating thumbnails, anyone else notice this issue?
Hang is not quite the right description... So I import a batch of pictures and PSE starts processing the files ("Generating Thumbnails" is in the tool bar at the bottom). After a few images are processed, it just stops. If I try to force an update of the thumbnail ("Update Thumbnail" option under the Edit menu), a broken image just come back. No mater what I do, it just sits there and will not resolve the thumbnail issue until I close out PSE and go into task manager and make sure that the task is killed.
On the other hand, while I can not get the thumbnails generated, I can go into the Editor with a raw image and it opens in Camera Raw without any problems.
Anyone else having similar issues? Know anything to try?
* Yes I have the most recent version of Camera Raw. When I downgrade to an older version of Camera Raw, the issue seems to go away.
* I can not use the old version all the time because I have a Nikon D300, which is only supported in the newest version. I confirmed the working of things with some of my D200 files.
* I am using Photoshop Elements 6.0, mainly for organization of all my images because I take a lot of them.
* I am doing this on a Windows XP x64 machine
* Based on a post someplace, I did check that my default printer on my machine is set to a printer that is always on the machine (PDF writer) and not a network printer/printer that has been disconnected.
Thank you for any help/suggestions that anyone can give me...
-Matt

Have you tried the Elements forum?
Not many visitors here have Elements, mostly PSCS and Bridge.
If you where using Bridge I would suggest to purge cache and or refresh the preferences but I have no clue if this is possible in Elements? :-(
Edit:
Do you have enough RAM installed, generating thumbnails from RAW can take a lot of energy from the OS...
