Camera Raw v8.7.1 Adjustment Brush Problem

I’m using Adobe Bridge and my problem is in Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 and 8.7.1 itself. The Adjustment Brush cursor clicked position and the actual area that will be painted is not in the same area. As you can see the picture shown below, the actual painted area is being offset about one cm away from the cursor clicked position. Only the Adjustment Brush is affected. What's more, the cursor is larger than usual and the color changes to black instead of white. Hope someone can help to give a solution or hopefully Adobe can fix the problem.

Another user has the same issue, I recommend submitting a bug report. Re: Is this a bug or a flaw in my install?
You might try rolling back to 8.6 an see if that helps: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6

Lightroom 5 Adjustment Brush Problem?

When I want to use my adjustment brush, I do not have the second circle show up to show where it has taken the adjustment from the photo. Is there a way to fix this? I was able to use it before and didn't have a problem. But I haven't used the program in a while. If anyone can help me with this that would be awesome.

When I am advising on weird adjustment brush problems I always say - Update your Mouse and Tablet drivers to the latest version. Update your video card to the latest driver. If neither of those fix it, then try resetting the preference file: Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file - Lightroom Forums

Camera Raw 3.7 Auto adjust

I use CS2 and Camera Raw 3.7 for Windows XP. When I load pictures into camera raw through Bridge, the program automatically adjusts the image. How do I stop it from doing that and be able to see and work with the image as it comes out of the camera.
My problem is, I'm overexposing on purpose, but the program keeps fixing it. :-(

Wow, Kristen. Way to resurrect an old post! Ramon will be pleased that you tried to do a search on the topic first, however. :)
There are 2 things being referred to here:
- The Auto Tone Adjustment does a dynamic adjustment of the white and black points and balances the tones similar to the Auto Levels command in PS. It's action depends on the content of the image. It will tend to make bracketed exposures look similar.
- Even when Auto Tone is turned off, Camera Raw still needs to "develop" the raw data. It does this initially by using the defaults that you have established. If these defaults consistently produce a non-optimum image, you can change them. Just make adjustments until the image looks better and then do a "Save New Camera Raw Defaults".
If you notice that the thumbnails in Bridge initially look "good" but then change to something else, this is Bridge initially using the small Jpeg embedded into the Raw file and then replacing it with its new, "developed" version. By changing the defaults you should be able to get close to the embedded Jpeg exposure but it will probably never match exactly. The embedded Jpeg was "developed" by the camera manufacturer inside your camera. Expecting it to match exactly with the way Adobe does things is sort of like expecting two different brands of film to produce the same image (back in the old days).
Remember that with Raw, the result is always an interpretation of the Raw converter being used.

Adjustment Brush Problems in Lightroom

So the adjustment brush works mostly fine, but the problem I'm having is that I was making a background darker but didn't finish it - so I went back later and clicked on the pin to just keep going with it and it has slightly changed somehow so if I go over what i did before at all it's now a lighter color. Sorry for the run on sentence.
Usually if you go over something with the same setting it won't show anything. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that I was working on this picture during a free trial which ended before I got to finish it. I then bought it later and used the number I was given to kind of revive it. All the pictures and histories were still there. And that's when the problem started. This seems to only be happening with pictures that I was editing before I bought it.
I tried updating it to 4.3 but that didn't help. I'm using a Mac. My camera is a Canon Rebel XS 1000D. Please help.

It depends on your settings if the AdjBrush will change areas that you have gone over before.
If you have set Density to 100% the first time, you won't see anything the second time if you don't change the other settings.
But when Density is to 50% each stroke will add 50% of density. if the Density is set at 25% each stroke will add 25%, etc.
You say: "Usually if you go over something with the same setting it won't show anything." That is so if your density was set to 100% the first time you used the AdjBrush.
And you say "so I went back later and clicked on the pin to just keep going with it and it has slightly changed somehow" - yes, that would be the case if you density was set to less than 100% the first time.
The settings for <Flow> also can have an effect the second time.
Flow: Controls the rate of application of the adjustment.
Density: Controls the amount of transparency in the stroke.

Lightroom 1.1 - Adobe Camera RAW 4.1 (Bridge, Photoshop CS3) problem

Dear all,
I am having some problems with the appearance of files developed in adobe lightroom 1.1 or in adobe camera raw 4.1 from e.g. bridge or photoshop cs3. When developing in lightroom the images look great, however when using acr 4.1 and the same xmp sidecar settings imported from lightroom, the image in acr looks very pale in comparison. For example when using the export into photoshop option in Lightroom, the image in PS3 looks very pale to the one in lightroom. The same problem persists with developing using ACR 4.1 from bridge. I have turned autotoning in ACR off. Also in the color management of PS CS3, the desaturate checkbox is UNchecked.
I am using an icc profile for my 30" cinema display, calibrated with colory eyes pro and a spyder2.
Has anybody had similar problems with ACR 4.1 or am I just doing something horribly simple wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Immanuel

Thomas,
thanks for your reply. In Mac OS X Preview the images look all good and very much like what I see in Lightroom. In any case not as pale or like with a slight white overcast to what I see when using ACR 4.1 from Bridge or Photoshop CS3. In PS color settings, preserving embedded profiles is checked. Yes, it seems to me as well that this is some color management issue. The 30" Cinema display was calibrated using Color Eyes Pro and Spyder2 to Gamma 2.2 and 6500 temp. However, even when reverting to the standard Apple color profile for the monitor, the problem persists.
No luck so far...
Immanuel

Adjustment Brush Problem

Dear all,
I have problem with my lightroom application. The edited point after using adjustment brush didn't appeared after i locked the editing. Its hard to change the editing because the point not apeared and i cant controlmy editing after dat because of the point is not show in the image. Howevwer the problem is not appeared in the graduating filter or spot adjustment.How can i solved this..
Thanks for your help

When brushing, holding down the Alt key will allow you to erase instead of adding to your brush selection. Holding down the Ctrl/Cmd key will put you in AutoMask mode if it’s not selected, or turn it off temporarily if it is. The two keys can be used together.
Also, to the right of the Effect selection (under Edit) is a little rectangle (two squares side by side) that switch between ‘basic’ and ‘advanced’ mode. By switching to advanced mode more than one effect (Exposure, Brightness, Saturation, etc.) can be added to the same selection. Having done multiple effects, switching back to basic mode will allow proportional adjustment of all of the effects made.

Adjustment Brush Problem in LR2.1

When I try to use the adjustment brush for any type of adjustment, all I get is a darkening overlay on my photo, as though I was drawing some kind of dirty grey quick mask. EG: soften skin - no change to the skin just a semi-transparent grey where I have brushed.
I am pretty new to using this brush, but I am pretty sure I have used it before without a problem. Have I changed some setting? I can use all the adjustments globally but cannot apply them with the brush.

Robbie,
Hit the "O" key to turn the overlay off and on. Shift+O toggles between available overlay colors.

Camera RAW 6.4.1.145 Memory problem?

I am using CS5 with the above version of camera raw.
I have windows XP with 4G ram. When I try to convert raw files to 16 bit tiff files I get the message "Insufficent memory".
I am unable to process my raw files from a Canon 5D mk2.
I have no other programes running in the background.
What is going on?

Each major version of CS works with one major version series of ACR so CS5 works with the ACR 6.x series.
CS5 installs with ACR 6.0 and 6.1 is the first upgrade after that.
You can check the readme files, linked on each version's update page, for each of the ACR 6.x's to determine if one of them started to support your camera or if they all do.
You can look in your Photoshop preferences to see the memory limit and allocation percent/amount, which you say in your next answer you've already done, but haven't said what amount of memory you saw Photoshop saying it could use. You could also check the amount of memory Photshop.exe is using by looking in the process tab of Task Manager when Photoshop is running.
The Image Processor is on the Bridge menus.
It sounds like you're adjusting all the RAWs in ACR and then clicking Done, which is good, and only trying to convert one at a time, which is also good. Have you tried opening one RAW in ACR and then clicking Open instead of Save and saving the TIF from Photoshop? It sounds like you don't have very much memory available on your system, but I'd think one RAW at a time would be ok.
I would go back just one version of ACR to start with, which would be 6.3, in case that works ok. If not then go all the way back to 6.1 or whatever the oldest version of ACR 6.x that supports your camera is.
If you feel comfortable doing it, you might upload one of the RAW files you're working with along with its XMP to www.YouSentIt.com or signup and use DropBox.com or some other larger-file-sharing service, and then post the download link, here, so others can try the same thing. I happen to be on a 32-bit machine at home and could see if it'd work for me and check how much memory is used.
For the record, on my 32-bit machine, just now, with only Photoshop loaded and Outlook e-mail, Photoshop's preferences are reporting I have 1640MB memory available with 70% of that allocated by default. What memory available number to you have?

Imitating Camera Raw Calibration settings with Adjustment layers

Hi,
I do quite a lot color grading and color manipulation with Lightroom, Photoshop and Speedgrade.
Sometimes I like to use Camera Raw "Camera calibration" Settings to play with hues of the image.
I have yet to found a way to imitate or reproduce the look with Adjustment layers inside Photoshop.
I have tried with channel mixers and hue/saturation adjustment layers with no good results.
I want to use Adjustment Layers because then I can export the look as Lookup table for other applications.
Do you have any hints how i could achieve these kind of effects as in the sample image below?
Cheers,
Otso

This mode in Camera Raw / Camera Calibration adjusts the three primaries of the camera sensor.
This is equivalent to an adjustment of the chromaticity coordinates of the working space primaries.
These are not directly accessible in an image processing workflow. One had to modify the ICC profile
of the working space.
The purpose of this hue modification in ACR is (in my humble opinion) a weak correction of the camera
sensor primaries, perhaps because of ag(e)ing (though I never heard of).
This is the effect, but with unknown scale factor:
(neg) shift toward-----Original------(pos) shift toward
magenta-----------------red-------------yellow
yellow--------------------green----------cyan
cyan----------------------blue------------magenta
IMO, one cannot mimic this effect.

LR 3.2 Auto Mask in Adjustment Brush problem

I have upgraded today to LR3.2 final version and I noticed that
the Auto Mask function in Adjustment Brush is not working as advertis
ed. The moment I use the brush with Auto Mask, it just b
rushes over any color or detail without discrimination. Is it me, or is it LR3?

It worked at least in LR2. I don't remember using it lately
in LR3.1, but today I had a real need to use it and it
did not work.

CURSOR MISALIGNMENT IN CAMERA RAW ? !

Hello,
I am a new photoshop user. I have discovered an issue in Adobe Camara Raw and I need help to fix it.
I am using Windows 8.1 on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with an Intel Core i7 1.7 ghz processor and the Intel HD 5000 graphics card.
I am also using an updated version of photoshop CC with Camera Raw 8.7.1
When using Camera raw, my cursor appears to be off when making any "Brush" adjustments.
The attached photo shows a screen cap of my camera raw program. I have marked the cursor cross hair location in RED, which was focused pointed on center of the eye in the photo. I am using the exposure adjustment brush to show the outline of the brush. When I click the mouse button, the center of the brush is off. the actual brush stroke is below and to the right of the cross hair.
I assume that this is not normal. Can anyone help with this issue or give a suggestion as to how to get my brush to center on the actual cross hair?
As you can imagine, this is quite frustrating when making adjustments.
Thanks,

Adobe Camera Raw changes not reflecting in Premiere Pro

I was super excited to try out the new CNDG support in Premiere Pro CC 2014, but I have to be honest - I am a bit disappointed...
I am using 16bit Cinema DNG files and the source settings sliders really aren't doing it for me (notice the pink highlights)
That's alright though, I would much rather use Adobe Camera Raw!
Right click > Edit Original
There we go, that looks nice - no pink highlights, nicely recovered details in the shadows and highlights.
PERFECT, click DONE!
Nothing...For whatever reason, changes are not reflecting.
Adobe - please allow us to use Adobe Camera Raw, there are so many folks out there that want to incorporate it into their workflow. I have tried SpeedGrade and various other color correcting tools and I have found Adobe Camera Raw to work the best IMHO
Thank you for your time.

Hello! I too am having this same problem. I used Camera Raw (both in Bridge and Photoshop to make sure) to adjust and correct the Cinema DNG files I shot with my BMPCC; however, the video sequence in Premiere does not reflect any of the changes made. Why would Adobe not support Camera Raw settings in Premiere?
Sorry, but Premiere Pro does not have a camera raw importer. You adjust the settings in the Source Settings dialog box instead (for RED, ARRI Raw, BMCC and BM Pocket Camera DNG files). You do have access to some controls for these formats, but in some cases, Camera Raw has more controls.

Camera Raw is an amazing tool for refining an image and gives me the best results compared to SG and Davinci. I was so excited to be able to use it once Premiere supported CinemaDNGs but now I'm confused as to why it's not supported.
Cinema DNG from the Blackmagic Cameras are supported, you just adjust settings in Source Settings, as I mentioned. Have you tried that? The reasoning behind this is that Cinema DNG video coming from camera raw is too difficult to playback and edit with.
That said, some users bring Cinema DNG footage to After Effects, adjust the video there, then render out files that are suitable to edit with.
ekombokom wrote:
I thought the point of using Adobe was that all their products worked together seamlessly? I really hope they fix this.
You can always make a request here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request, however, I don't see a camera raw importer going into Premiere Pro any time soon (if ever) because of the reasons I previously mentioned (editing with camera raw would be too cumbersome). I think the more realistic feature request would be to add more controls in Source Settings.
Thanks,
Kevin

Camera raw crash

I use imac 4 core i7, 8GB ram, os 10.6.3
Trial install of CS5 extd.
Open NEF file in camera raw (have tried 6.0 and 6.1) Select spotting brush. Proceed to correct dust spots, etc. When I need to remove spotting circles to evaluate the image, I press "v". Spotting circles hidden, as expected.
When press "v" to show spotting circles again, camera raw (and image) are immediately gone from screen. There is a loud "click" which occurs simultaneously with the losing of the image. There is no dialog box and no crash report is generated. PSCS5 itself does not crash.
I downloaded camera raw 6.1 and get same problem. Have uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled to get back to camera raw 6.0. Still same problem.
Have no problems with CS4 and camera raw.
Grateful for any advice.

Chris
I thank you and apologize to you and all readers.
My problems with photoshop and camera raw were due to use of a utility app called TYPINATOR. It apparently intercepted the keyboard shortcuts and resulted in the bizarre behavior that I was having with camera raw.
I disabled TYPINATOR and this behavior has ceased.
I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT THERE IS A NEW VERSION OF TYPINATOR AND PERHAPS THE CONFLICT HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
I admit to being a moron. No need to aggravate the ACR team!
