Camera Raw - saving photos- help!

I edit my photos in camera raw, and after clicking "done", I save my photos in another folder on my computer. This has never been a problem until recently. When I go to that folder to open the photo, the photo is somewhat blurry, grainy, and the color is not at all what it looked like when I saved it from camera raw. I have been trying all day to figure out where I went wrong.  I have tried saving as pjeg, tif, psd from raw  - opening to PS and saving different ways from there - exporting instead of "saving".       ----  because this is something that just started yesterday I am wondering if there is something I clicked by accident in camera raw to make this happen. PLEASE help!!! thanks so much!!

The small pixilated preview image sounds like a thumbnail embedded by the camera and the full-res preview is not getting updated and it used to be.
How are you saving your photos after you click Done and how are you viewing those photos after they are saved?  Are you creating copies of your raw files as JPGs and looking at those, or are you expecting the embedded previews in the raw files to change after clicking Done in ACR?
Do you save ACR edits to XMP sidecar files or to a central camera-raw database.  This is in the ACR preferences, somewhere.

  • CRSS : Camera Raw Saved Settings - documentation ??

    Hello,
    I generated a DNG from Lightroom, and I get a XML tree using a crss (Camera Raw Saved Settings) schema.
    Where could I get about this ?? I didn't find aything with Google.
    Thanks.

    I guess the meaning of "open standard" is, that it is open to anyone to write the documentation.
    Well, considering that "Camera Raw Saved Settings" are not specifically a function of DNG I think that comment is inaccurate and unfair. XMP allows new and custom name spaces and fields as part of the XMP specification (which is not directly tied to the DNG spec). The fact that Adobe has chosen to extend (XMP = EXtensible Metadata Platform) the XMP fields to include CRSS (Camera Raw/Lightroom "Snapshots") is more a proof oc concept of the usefulness of XMP metadata and less am indictment of DNG's "openess".
    Snapshots in ACR/LR are proprietary and thus are prolly intentionally "undocumented", don't ya think?
    If you want to see what _IS_ stored in DNG/XMP, the "crs schema" should be able to enlighten you...

  • Can Lightroom import/use Camera Raw saved settings from Photoshop CS2?

    Before getting LR, I used CS2. I would load my CR2 files from my cam into CS2 and Camera Raw would pop up for raw editing. I would edit the photos, but sometimes save the settings to a XMP file. Those files would then be available for any raw photo, i just had to select that setting.
    Is there any way to import those saved settings files into LR? There's just text in them, what about importing the text somewhere? I dunno... I really want to use these settings files in LR!!
    Also, If I change things to a photo in LR, does it have a similar save-the-edit feature like camera raw?
    Thanks!!

    If you import images with those side car files, you'll get those settings automatically. If you've already imported the images without the side cars somehow, you can put the side cars back and do read metadata from files.

  • CS6 Bridge (PC) does not show adjustments made in earlier Camera Raw, or even its own Camera Raw! PLEASE HELP.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WILL SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT THIS CONTACT ME???
    CS6 Bridge does not show ANY of the adjustments I've made in previous versions of Camera Raw, and sometimes (intermittently) doesn't show adjustments made in CS6 Camera Raw.
    I'm on a PC, I've uninstalled and reinstalled about 6 times. I feel so upset, I've spent literally HOURS going in circles on the Adobe website, trying to get help on the phone (I'll pay!!!) but there seems to be no way to contact anyone. I've posted this problem several times and no one answers.
    If you don't know the answer, can you please tell me how to get tech help even if I have to pay for it??

    Thanks, Omke. I tried updating, then applying all the same fixes to the updated version. No change.
    I can attach a screenshot, but I must block out names and faces. All you'll see is my Bridge interface, not the faces in the portraits. Hope that helps.

  • Camera not saving photos correctly

    I can take photos with my camera but in the corner where the photo taken shows up, it shows loading bars like it's trying to do something with the photo. When I click there or try to open the photos taken on any of the apps to open photos, it starts loading indefinitely with a black background. Those photos also don't open in the computer. It's like the camera is having difficulties saving the photos correctly.I've tried restaring the phone, stopping and clearing the data for the Camera app, but nothing seems to have worked so far. Do you have any ideas of what to do?

    Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
    Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
    Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
    If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • Confused over saving files in Bridge or Camera Raw CS4

    I'm a little confused the way Bridge and Camera Raw saves files that have been adjusted. For example, when I took a photo and just applied a crop to it, I clicked on "save image" in camera raw, set up a new folder and new file name. I clicked on ok expecting to see the uncropped photo in the original source folder. What I saw was the cropped photo under the original file name.
    Ultimately I found the original file by looking through explorer. I guess my question is, Is there a tutorial that explains the way Bridge/Camera Raw saves files?
    Appreciate the help

    The changes applied by Camera Raw are saved as metadata, a few lines of code added to the file or to a separate XML file. If you want to save the changes done by Camera Raw then simply click on Done, the Save button will save a copy, not the current changes back onto the original file.
    Check out the section on Camera Raw from the Help files:

  • Having problems opening a photo in camera raw for editing

    Has anyone had problems getting a photo to open in camera raw for editing?
    I open a photo and go to edit, then click on full edit, then go to file and click on open as.  I then go to the pop-up menu and click on camera raw.
    When  I click on open, the photo should open in camera raw so I can edit it but nothing happens.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?  This progrem has little value if I cant edit my photos.   Thanks for your imput.

    Hi rlb
    Check your plug-in is up to date for your Camera and model. The latest Adobe CAMERA RAW PLUG-IN IS 6.3 (for PSE9)
    Open Full Edit and click Help >>About Plug-in >>Camera Raw
    Otherwise click Help >>Updates and then follow the on-screen instructions.

  • CS6 Bridge Camera RAW help!!

    I have just installed CS6 direct from the Adobe website on to my MAC as an upgrade to CS5 and it is all fully updated, I have shot some test RAW images on my Canon 1DX and tried to open them in Bridge, it says that the file cannot be opened and that the program needs updating via Help>Updates, this is confusing as it says it is fully updated, I have also checked the file association in CS6 and Canon CR2 is supported. I have not yet un-installed CS5 from my MAC, is it interfering with CS6?.....CR2 files open perfectly in CS5 so I can't see what is causing Bridge in CS6 not to recognise RAW CR2 files and allow me to open them in Camera RAW. Any help really appreciated!

    That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
    Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
    If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.

  • No Camera Raw Plug-In

    My problem is that I cannot open DNG files in Photoshop Elements 11 (PE11).
    In PE11 (using the Editor in all cases), using File > Open... the filenames do not appear, and drag and drop gives the error "Cannot open ...DNG because it is the wrong type of file" etc.
    I have a Pentax K-r and shoot in RAW+JPEG, with RAW set to produce DNG (and I have also tried RAW set to PEF). I had PE4 and could import DNG files into it. I run Win XP SP3.
    From my local administrator account, in PE11 I used Help > Updates... to install Photoshop CR 7.4 and it now tells me that everything is up to date.
    I uninstalled PE4 in case that was preventing PE11 from opening DNG files in some way, but that did not help - and now I cannot re-activate PE4, as your registration server is no longer online.
    I have been working through your help page “Troubleshoot Camera Raw” (CR). Help > About Plug-In… does not list Camera Raw, so I went to Solution 1.
    Your help page “Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications” tells me that PE11 shipped with CR 7.1 and is compatible through CR 8.0 – but I cannot find CR 8.0. I followed the link from the Products Update page to Camera Raw (Windows) but the highest version of Camera Raw Update there is 7.1. However, I don’t think this is the root problem. The problem seems to be that I don’t have a Plug-In to update!
    I moved on to Solution 2, which should be to remove and reinstall PE11, and I have the media to hand. However, my version is an Upgrade Edition, which requires me still to have my licensed copy of  PE4 installed – but I uninstalled PE4 (see above) and cannot get it re-authorised!

    Yes it is an AMD processor. (I was not aware that there were issues with XP on AMD.)
    The system info is below.
    I see that the Primary Plug-Ins Folder is set to the local one (....\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins\) rather than the one under Common Files. Is there a way to change this?

  • Cannot update Camera raw 5.7 on PSE 7

    Anyone can help me on this update process?
    I purchased an PSE7 and sucessfully installed into my pc(window XP SP2), Since I am using a newer camera and tried to open raw file. and it said 'did not support this type of file", I immediately update the camera raw by clicking help>update and found 1 update shown in the window box. I clicked update and download procedure follow, after that they installed automatically and finished updating in less then a minute. I closed the PSE7 and opened it again, it still cannot open the raw file, i check the help>system info, and I still saw camera raw 4.5, that means it was not updated , so anyone can guide me this or help me out what happen? I am not very good at computer, please explain detaily so I can try step by step. Thanks

    ACR 5.7 only works with PSE8+. 
    According to the updates page, the latest version that works with PSE7 is ACR 5.6.  And I have both PSE7 and PSE8 on my computer and can verify that PSE7 gives an error message about the ACR 5.7 being incompatible if I overwrite ACR 5.6 with ACR 5.7 in the PSE7 directory.
    An issue with the originally posted version was it was missing the CameraProfiles.exe that installs all the file-based camera profiles and that the instructions referred to PSE7 for the install location even though it was talking about PSE8 in the rest of the instructions.  Both of these mistakes have been corrected, but this won't make ACR 5.7 work with PSE7.
