Can I open a raw file WITHOUT lightroom adjustments?

I often do quick Lightroom adjustments to my files before showing them to clients. Then, when they select their images, I go back and open the images in Photoshop for retouching.  I wish I could open them from Lightroom WITHOUT applying the adjustments I've made.  I don't want to undo the adjustments, but I want them to be applied to the file AFTER the PS edits are done, not before.  Am I missing something?

You can open your images in Photoshop without Lightroom adjustments.
Before opening it in Photoshop - in the Develop Module in the right bottom corner click on <Reset> and your image will be reset to the state as it is on the hard drive.

PS: Sorry, this is incomplete. <Reset> sets your image back to LR default settings or to your Develop Preset that was applied during import.
But the LR Develop Preset <General Zeroed> sets everything back and removes all settings completely.

  • Can't open a raw file from Lightroom to Photoshops ACR

    I got used to using Lightroom 3 as a place to catalogue and store my images but still process my Raw files in Adobe Photoshops Raw Convertor. Now that I have Lightroom 5 I can't find out how to do this.  With version 3 I just highlighted say 3 files and hit command E.
    I know I can open an image as a smart object and go about it that way but I can't open multiple images from Lightroom to ACR.
    I know people will say '' hey well do your Raw work in Lightroom'' but I got used to using the Photoshop Raw convertor and I spent a lot of time and money learning it.
    Surely there is a way to open say three images from L5 to ACR ???
    Please help this has been driving me nuts, It's suggested I will need to start using Bridge but I'm bewildered and don't want to start learning something new.
    Thanks in advance.

    It has been a long time since I even had Lightroom 3 installed on my computer.  I don't recall the behavior you are describing.  ACR is used to translate the adjustments made in Lightroom as the image is transferred to Photoshop.  You may have become accustomed to a certain behavior, but it doesn't work that way.  The process of moving from Lightroom to Photoshop works on the assumption that you have done your raw adjustments using Lightroom, and you are now passing that image to Photoshop.

  • How do i open a raw file in lightroom

    how do I open a raw file in lightroom?

    Yes, those are good links, but let's clean up the terminology too so we're all talking the same language.
    There is no "open" in Lightroom when referring to photos.
    You can "import" photos into Lightroom ... this means that now Lightroom has registered the photo's location and other pertinent information into its database, but it does not store the photo itself in the Lightroom database (or anywhere else in Lightroom), so Lightroom never contains your photos; the photo continues to be stored on one of your hard drives, wherever you want it to be, and the file is visible in your operating system.
    Once you have imported the photos, then Lightroom can perform tasks on the photos, such as Develop, Print, e-mail or upload, etc. and once you have imported photos into Lightroom, you should not move or rename or delete them outside of Lightroom.

  • Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

    why i can't open my raw file?

    You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
    The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

  • I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera.  I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter.  I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong?

    I have Photoshop CS5 and a Nikon D 810 camera.  I have downloaded Camera Raw 8.8 & DNG converter.  I can neither open the raw files (.nef), nor process them with the DNG converter. What is going wrong?  Thanks!

    This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
    …Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs.  [emphasis added]

  • Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

    i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

    Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade.  Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.

    I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

    What version of Photoshop are you running?  You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014.  Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
    If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.

    Lightroom has Camera Raw built in.  You can't upgrade it.  Just upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom.

  • Nikon D800 can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF

    Got a Nikon D800 and can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF Most of them no problem, but some I just can't.
    "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model" Thats not wight cause I can open like 90% of my .NEF files :/
    Got latest Camera Raw (6.7)..Help please:/

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer D800 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS5.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D610 in PSE10. Any help for this?

    I recently purchased a Nikon D610.  I have PSE 10.  I can't open my RAW files now and I always shoot in RAW.  I've tried everything, but still can't open m,y files in the RAW format.  Any help??????

    Your most direct choices are:
    1)      Use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 to create Adobe-DNG raws from your Nikon D610 NEF raws.  These DNGs will open in your older Elements Camera Raw plug-in.  Be sure to set the ACR compatibly options in the DNGC to support whatever version of ACR you’re using.
    2)      Buy PSE12, and first download the trial version to make sure your computer can run it properly.
    Adobe only adds new camera support to whatever the current versions of their software, and PSE12 was the current version of Elements when the D610 support was added.   PSE10 won’t be updated.
    Also be sure that you are NOT using the old Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with your new Nikon camera.  These older versions of Nikon products change something in the metadata of new camera NEFs that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software.

  • I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • Just bought Nikon D600, can't open the raw file from my Photoshop element 9, please adivise.  Thanks

    Can't open the raw file in my Photoshop Element 9 from my new Nikon D600, please help. many thanks
    Brian

    Hi,
    The D600 requires camera raw version 7.3 or later - that is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.
    You need to either
    1) upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 or 12
    or
    2) you can download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert you NEF files to DNG files and then PSE 9 can read the DNG files
    The latest version of the DNG converter that you can use will depend on your operating system.
    For XP or Vista :
    DNG Converter 8.3
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
    For Windows 7 or 8

  • Can't open NEF raw files in Elements 12.1 from my Nikon D610.

    I have the trial version of Elements 12 and updateed to 12.1. The Camera Raw version is 8.4 and I'm running a Windows 7 computer. Then I try to open NEF files do I get the error message that my Camera is not supported. I tried to install the DNG converter ver 8.3 but that dosen't recognize the NEF files either. Elements opens the NEF files from my Nikon D5100 without problems and so does the DNG converter. I have tried both 12 bit and 14 bit NEF files from the D610 with no luck.
    As I understand it so should Elements 12 with Camera Raw 8.4 support Nikon D610. I hope I get get this to work so that I can update to ver 12 from ver 9 that I use today.
    Best regards
    Daniel

    Yes I used Nikon Transfer NX that came with my Nikon D5100. I downloaded the NEF file directly from the SD card to my hard drive and now can I open the NEF file in Elements. I guess I need to update Nikon Transfer NX with the version I got with the D610.
    Thanks 99jon for the quick reply and for solving my problem
