Camera Raw Sluggish in CS5 vs CS4

My computer is Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit.  Quad Core Q6600, 2.4 GHz, 6gb RAM.
When running Photoshop CS4 with Bridge and Camera Raw, I could change any of the settings, and the preview would update pretty much instantaneously, with no lag.
I updated recently to CS5, with its accompanying new version of Camera Raw, and I find that on this same computer, working with the same Raw Files from my Canon 1D Mark 2, there is a pretty noticeable lag in the preview when changing almost any of the settings.  It's slow enough that it seriously impedes my workflow, and makes me think of returning to CS4.
Within CS5, I have the following Performance settings:
Available RAM: 5349 MB
Ideal Range: 2942-3851 MB
Let Photoshop Use: 3209 MB (60%)
These were the default settings used when it was installed.
Scratch Disks:
I have a separate physical hard drive selected for this, different from the one where the OS is installed.  Only that disk is selected as a Scratch Disk.
History & Cache:
History States: 20
Cache Levels: 4
Cache Tile Size: 128K
GPU Settings
NVidia GeForce 9800 GT/PCI/SSE2
Enable OpenGL Drawing is Checked.
These settings are pretty much the same as in my CS4 installation (both are currently installed on this computer).
Can this be improved?  As I said, this seriously slows down my workflow.
Thanks.

Are you saying that it'll run faster if I start Bridge from within PS CS5, 64-bit?
You can determine Camera Raw's version number from Camera Raw Preferences (look in the title bar). 6.7RC is the best version for CS5 so far. You can download it here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
Bridge is a 32-bit application. Camera Raw is provided as 32-bit and 64-bit plug-ins, and the faster 64-bit plug-in only works when hosted by 64-bit Photoshop (on 64-bit Windows).
So, hosting Camera Raw in Bridge will use the 32-bit version. From Bridge, opening a raw image with Photoshop will use the 64-bit version of the plug-in (if 64-bit is installed, and the 32-bit version of Photoshop isn't already running).

  • How do I get camera raw plugin for cs5.1 extented for new olympus omd e-m1 camera?

    how do you get camera raw plugin for cs5.1 extented for new olympus omd e-m1 camera?

    Native support requires ACR version 8.3, which will only run under CS6 or CC.
    Use the free DNG converter to make DNGs readable in older ACR versions. http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html

  • My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

    My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

    You would need Camera Raw 7.3 or later to open those files. Adobe is not going to update CS4. You can either get a newer version of Photoshop that comes with a current version of Camera Raw, or you can use the DNG converter to save your files down to the ACR version that works with CS4.

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • What is the latest camera raw update for CS5?

    I'd like to know the latest camera raw update for CS5 to support Sony a6000 raw files. I'd also need to know how to update the plugin.

    The last version of Camera Raw that you can use with Photoshop CS5 is Camera Raw 6.7. To have support for your camera you would need Camera Raw 8.4 or newer. You have a few choices:
    1. Use DNG converter 8.4 or newer to create DNG copies of your raw files and edit those in Photoshop CS5.
    2. Subscribe to the creative cloud photography plan and to get the latest Photoshop and Lightroom.
    3. Add Lightroom to your workflow by purchasing a standalone license for Lightroom 5.

  • Suche Camera Raw für CS5 um RAW- Dateien meiner Nikon D810 laden und bearbeiten zu können. Aber wie?

    Hallo,
    kürzlich habe ich mir die D810 zugelegt. Ich fotografiere damit viel im RAW- Format. Nun musste ich feststellen, dass mein Photoshop CS5 diese Dateien nicht erkennt und ich meine RAW- Dateien somit nicht bearbeiten kann.
    Im Netz fand ich den Hinweis, dass dies mit Camera RAW 8.6 möglich sein soll. Wenn ich aber nach dem Download des Camera RAW 8.6 im Internet suche, stoße ich immer wieder auf Seiten, die sich auf Camera RAW 8.7.1 beziehen, jedoch keine Möglichkeit zum Downloaden bieten.
    Was kann ich tun? Hat jemand das gleiche Problem? Wie kann ich kann ich ein aktualisiertes Camera Raw für CS5 erhalten, mit welchem sich RAW- Dateien der Nikon D810 berarbeiten lassen?
    Über eine hilfreiche Antwort würde ich mich natürlich sehr freuen. Zur Sicherheit würde ich diese gern parallel in meinem Mailfach erhalten, wenn das nicht zu viel verlangt ist.
    Ich bedanke mich schon einmal im Voraus!
    Gruß
    Jürgen

    There is no way for you to obtain a version of Camera Raw that supports your camera that will work in Photoshop CS5. The last version you can use is Camera Raw 6.7. If you are going to stay with Photoshop CS5, you can download the free DNG converter from Adobe. This will create copies of your raw images in the DNG format. Those files will still contain all of the original raw image data. Those DNG files can be opened with the Camera Raw that you have now.

  • Camera Raw Preview in Bridge Collections (CS4)

    I am working in Bridge CS4 and have created several Collections of .cr2 photos that I am editing in Camera Raw. When I open the files in Camera Raw from the Collections panel and click "Done" after making adjustments, the changes do not show up in the Bridge Preview panel. However, when I view the same file from the Folders panel, those changes show up. This situation is a real pain as I have to keep moving back and forth between Folders and Collections - can anyone help fix the problem? I have purged and maximized the cache in both Bridge and Camera Raw Preferences and it's not helping.

    First Aid for Bridge is always restart holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. After this reset prefs to your wishes and try again (sometimes restarting Bridge is needed to let the changes take effect).
    If this is not working repeat this procedure but now first quit Bridge and delete the Com.adobeBridge3.plist file from the preferences folder in the user library and the again refresh and reset the prefs.
    It should work normally, it does so on my system ( you are not working on a network btw??)

  • How to access Camera Raw when invoking CS5 from Lightroom 3?

    When I invoke CS5 from Lightroom, my NEF files seem to load directly without giving me an opportunity to make adjustments in Camera Raw. If I open the same NEF file from windows Explorer, CS5 presents the Camera Raw adjustment page and I can make adjustments before proceeding.
    How can I work around this?
    BTW I know I can make camera raw adjustments in Lightroom and then open in CS5, however for an image that I know I will be using CS5 on anyway, I don't want to do anything at all in LR just go direct to CS5 but I can't do this if this bypasses my ability to make adjustments in camera raw!
    I must be missing something here, can anyone point me in the right direction?
    [I'm using Camera Raw 6.1, LR3, CS5 12.0.1 x64; Invoking CS5 from LR3 by right-click on image, Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5]

    That workaround did work for me so thanks for the helpful reply!
    If anyone else has other ways of making this work I'd like to hear about it.
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • Can not access Adobe camera raw in PS CS5. Have a mac OS 10.9

    How do i access adobe camera raw for images fro Nikon D 7100.

    Since photoshop cs5 can only use up to camera raw 6.7 and the Nikon D7100 requires at least camera raw 7.4, photoshop cs5 won't open those files directly.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You can though, use the 8.6 DNG Converter to convert the D7100 nefs to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should open.

  • Camera raw update in cs5 for nikon d5300

    Hi can anyone tell me how to update my camera raw so that I can use my nikon d5300 with cs5.  I have looked everywhere and can not find the update for it and there is no way I can afford to update photoshop just to update raw.

    The D5300 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and newer.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.3.
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6 (purchase)
    Join the Cloud (subscription)
    Join the Photoshop Photography Program (subscription)
    Free option: using the Adobe DNG converter, convert all D5300 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS5

  • How do I change the CS6 Camera Raw to the CS5 mode?

    Hello! I prefer to edit my RAW photos with the CS5 Camera raw interface, ie Fill Light instead of Highlights/Whites, ect... I see that when I open or apply an older CS5 preset to a raw in CS6, the interface switches back to the CS5 interface, which is great, and shows its possible. So how do I open new raw files in CS6 using the CS5 interface as default?

    Well...
    First, you probably don't want to do that.
    Secondly, you don't want to do that.
    But if you still want to do that, go over to the Camera Calibration tab and choose a different Process.
    Then you can Save New Camera Raw Defaults
    But you really don't really want to do that.
    I suggest you think twice about changing your default to an older Process Version, because there are a lot of things the old process did poorly that the new one does much better. 
    I assume you want the old process because you like the way the controls work better, but it's well worth taking the time to get used to the new controls.  It really is.
