Can I recover raw edits not saved as a catalog?

I have raw files that have been imported and edited, but not saved as a catalog/collection. LR crashed & I had to un/reinstall LR (4.4). Can I recover those changes and reapply them to the raw files? If so, how?
Thanks

I've had LR for about 6 months or so and have done the backup every week. Hopefully, I can revert back.
For the most part, I import, develop, then export jpg versions. I dont usually make a "collection" mainly because I haven't taken the time to learn the ins & outs of LR file management (yes, regretting that now).
I don't think that the catalog was damaged. I do remember changing the location. I guess I just need to know if I need to do anything specific to load them
Thanks for the response!

Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch

Hey Everyone,
I hope that someone can help me. I made alot of edits to about 100 images in Camera Raw ( ie (de)saturation, exposure adjustments, color adjustments,etc).
I wanted to finish up the images ( sharpening, saving) with an action that i created in Photoshop CS6.
However, when i run the action in photoshop, none of the adjustments that I made in camera raw are visible. In other words, the saved images that were output of photoshop batch were essentially the images right out of the camera. What am I doing wrong?
I appreciate your help in advance.
-Andre

The Action is very simple and does not make much sense to me. The open step is not expanded so I can only guess that its and interactive open step inserted into the action using insert menu item and you selected file>open. Other Since your original question is about RAW files I assume your opening a RAW file that has ACR settings previously set. So ACR should open the RAW file you select with its previously set ACR settings. If this is and interactive ACR step you can use Open as Object or Open Image. Since later on in the action I see select layer "Background" you must be using open image for open object would create a smart object layer not a background layer. You action then dupe the background layer and sharpens the duped layer select the background flattens and save as jpeg. The result would be the same without the dupe and flatten. These are needless steps.
I also don't fully understand your original title "Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch". Batch actions would normally not have and open step. Photoshop Automate Batch or a Photoshop script like the Image Processor would normally process open document or open files select in the bridge or pointed to in the batch process dialog. If the action has an open step the Batch Dialog has an option that can be used to override open steps. You did not show your bath dialog setting. I have never user that option and don't know exactly that option works. Particularly in this case where you failed to expand the open step. If it is and Open As Camera RAW all image files in the source location will be open through ACR however JPEG and Tiff files may not have ACR settings and other image file formats other the raw may cause errors. I do not know how the open step was recorded or how a open as camera raw steps are overridden. I'm sure Open recent and open file would open raw file through ACR and other image files formats would be open Photoshop where JPEG and Tiff file may be set to open through ACR. Do all image file in you source image location have ACR setting and the file type set to be open via ACR?

How can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords?

i have accidentally uninstalled Firefox software. how can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords for the various sites. Please help on this regard. I'm in a serious trouble now.

If you have removed your personal data when uninstalling Firefox then the Firefox profile folder that store your Firefox personal data has been removed.
If you do not have a backup of the files in this folder then your only option is to try to recover this data with an undelete utility like Recuva.

Camera Raw changes not saving

Changes done in Camera Raw are not saving to be usable in PS or other programs.
I am using CS6 with windows 7.
I accidentally took a heap of photos in jpeg. I edited them in Camera Raw - then save the changes in jpeg format but still no changes showing in PS. I have tried Save As, Done, Open image but the changes are not appearing in my PS

Penny,
The button at bottom, "Open Image", doesn't mean "open an image in Camera Raw". It means "open the currently displayed image in a new document in Photoshop".
"Open Image" will pass the adjusted image that you are viewing, not the file itself, to Photoshop where a new document will open and contain the image. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
Hold down Shift key to see the button change to "Open Object" which will result in a new Photoshop document being opened containing a Smart Object which encloses an independant duplicate of the file and adjustments which you are currently viewing in Camera Raw. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
Hold down Option/Alt key to see the button change to "Open Copy" which is like "Open Image" except the adjustments which you are currently making in Camera Raw will only affect the image that is sent to Photoshop and adjustments will not be saved.

Edited RAW files not saving as TIFF's or JPG's

I thought working with RAW files in iPhoto 08 worked the same as it did in 06. I have lots of Nikon RAW (NEF) files from my 06 library that used to change to a JPG as soon as I finished editing them in iPhoto 06 or a tiff if I had that option selected in preferences. The RAW badge would go away and I would then see a JPG in my library.
None of this happens in 08. I edit a RAW file, the changes look to be saved when I move to the next photo, but the RAW file remains with the RAW badge still showing. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Thanks
Joshua

I also noticed something else and it looks like this issue is not only with RAW but JPG files as well. It seems like iPhoto is not finalizing the edit and saving the file. Even after closing the program you can return to those edited photos in edit mode and they look as if they are still in the middle of being edited. The level sliders still show the highlighted movement you made to them and you can still hit the shift key and see the before and after. So it seems like it's holding the changes made to the file but not following through and finalizing the changes and saving the file.

Any help appreciated: Can I recover the edited version of my word document?

Hi everyone,
So sorry if I am asking a question that's been answered a million times before. I was working on a document for a few hours and it kept crashing (force quit) every once in a while after I copy pasted text. Luckily, everytime I clicked on the word icon the version I was working on was immediately recovered; all changes were saved.
The suddenly, after I had to force quit the program another time and clicked on the icon, none of the changes I made where there anymore. I've been looking through my computer but i just cannot find the version I worked on. Not in my trash..no temporary file or temporary folder. I did check the preferences in word and while "create backup copy" wasn't checked, auto recovery info was set to 10 minutes.
So, before I start editing my document from scratch and despite there being little to no hope, I wanted to make sure I ask whether there is anything I can do to recover the file I was working on?
Thanks so much for the help!

Not sure why it is Crashing but you had better get in the habit of saving every minute or 2. It's quite simple. Just hit the Command + s keys.

Camera Raw editing not enabled

I had to do a system restore only to find on return that
I get a message saying "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw
editing requires that a qualiftyjing product has been launched at least once to enable this
feature"
I can open and work on my ORF's via the mini bridge but not the big one, very frustrating. Can anyone help please without me having to reinstall the whole of CS5?
Thank you in advance,
RonB

Hi Curt,
I did the uninstall, run the adobe script cleaner and re-install the whole CS5 suite. I even uninstalled all my other adobe software such as the flash player and the acrobat reader to make sure that there are no other parent application to run but I still get the same error message.
I can also send to you the log of the adobe cleaner if needed. I encountered an error when I run it first but I followed the instructions to manually delete the folder in the path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe/OOBE
Then after I deleted the folder I rerun the cleaner and found no other items related to the CS5 suite.
After that, I re-installed the C5 suite, updated it to the current ones you have in the website. Then I restarted my computer. Then I opened PS first and from there I opened Bridge. When I try to open an image directly to camera raw from Bridge or copy the settings of an image it still gave the errir message indicated above.
I'm sure I am not the only one encountering this problem thus it would really help a lot if we can find a resolution to this issue since the CS5 suite is really a good application, a cut above the rest, except for thisparticular issue.
Thank you very much for your continued assistance.
Regards,
Kio

Camera Raw Editing Not "Enabled" on Bridge

I recently had to have a new HD installed on my MacBook Pro. When restoring everything on the new HD using Time Machine I was pleased to see my whole CS4 Master Collections apps restored. Later I tried to use CS4 Bridge to edit RAW photos. I got an error message that said Editing RAW was not enabled. Help?

I don't think you can restore Adobe programs with Time Machine and have them work properly. Can you uninstall, and install with disks?

QuickTime Pro 7.1 sound edits not saving

In QuickTime Pro 7.1 when I adjust the volume level in the movie Properties dialog, then save the file, the edits are not saved with the file when I reopen it and play it. The volume level reverts back to the way it was before.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
TIA
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you're the adventurous type and the missing functionality of QT 7 is a real burden then you can do the following:
1. download QT 6.5.1 from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime651.html
do NOT install it.
2. download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Use Pacifist to open the "QuickTime651.pkg"
(What we do next is extract only the QuickTime 6.5.1 Player from the package.)
From the "Application" folder in the open Pacifist window, choose "QuickTime Player.app"
In the Pacifist icon menu choose "Extract To..." and choose your Desktop.
* Important: Rename the "QuickTime Player" on your Desktop to "QuickTime Player 6.5.1"
Put it into your Applications folder and use as you have in the past.
Any changes you make to the video or sound can now be saved as before if you use this player to open your movies.
The QuickTime 7 player will still function as it did before.

How can I recover only 1 Note deleted from my iPhone 4S

I accidentally deleted 1 important note from my Notes and it got sync'd so it's deleted from all devices.
How can i recover that note? My iPhone was backed up and that note is probably in the back up, but i don't want to restore the entire device to that back up.
Is there a way to recover just one deleted note?

Sorry, restore from backup is all or nothing deal.

Audio track edits not saved

I am using Captivate 4. I have a group of files where any edits I make to the audio track are not saved. The audio plays back fine in the audio editor. It just will not save the changes I make to the audio track (cut segments, add silent segments, etc.) I make a change, click OK in the audio editor, close the editor. When I reopen the editor the changes are not saved. I tried uninstalling and reintalling Captivate. I tried saving the file under a different name. Any ideas why this might be happening and if there is any workaround? thanks.

Hi there
You should ensure that Captivate has been updated to the most recent release. The developers released an update after the initial release. Additionally, you may need to follow what is outlined in this blog post. I had to do that on my PC.

Lightroom edits not saving!

Ahhhh please help! I use Lightroom 4 and when I went in to look at some images I had recently edited, (all my images are large jpegs, and I "add" my photos to LR) they all started to change to some weird high contrast edit right before my eyes, one by one without me touching or changing anything. They also had a little exclamation point on them. When I clicked on the exclamation it says "the metadata was changed by Lightroom and another application" and I could "import settings from the disk or overwrite the disk settings." When I clicked import settings it reverted back to my original edit. But this didn't last.. after a few minutes they kept changing back to this other random edit. I read online that I should save the metadata so it can't be changed, so I highlighted every image I have in Lightroom and saved the metadata. (this took about an hour for Lightroom to do) But now when I go back into Lightroom to look at my photos they do something different.. now they start to revert back to the original UNEDITED files all my themselves, one by one! Thankfully I have already exported all the edited photos into folders so I have them. But what do I do!? If I ever want to go back to an edited photo and export it at a different size or retouch it or something, none of the edits are saved, I have to start from scratch! I'm a wedding photographer and I'm scared to load more images and work on them just for LR to change them back. Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do? I want my edited photos back!
Thank you!

Hmm, no I don't believe that is what's happening. I exported all my photos fine. It was when I went back into LR after the export that they started reverting back to the unedited version. I wasnt even doing any action or editing at the time, just opened up LR and they all started changing. I have no idea why this all of a sudden happened. I have been using LR for 2 years and didn't do anything differently. So strange!
You haven't specifically addressed the main point of my guess, that when you did the export, you instructed Lightroom to overwrite the original photo. This could possibly explain your statement that "they all started to change to some weird high contrast edit right before my eyes, one by one without me touching or changing anything." Sometimes these export settings get changed accidentally, could you check to see if that has happened?
Other than that, I don't really have another guess as to what might be happening.

"Camera Raw editing not enabled" why!

Im suddenly unable to edit in Raw...says "Raw Camera editing not enabled. I recently switched from Cloud CC suite to Coud Photography

This issue comes when qualifying product (say Photoshop CC) licence is not activated.
Sign and Sign out of CC app and then launch Ps , then try accessing ACR.

Edited RAW files not saved as .JPEG files

Before I updated to iPhoto8, when I edited my RAW files they were saved to JPEG files automatically. From the Help documentation, I believe that this should still be happening..... but it isn't.
Do I have a setting wrong? Anyone know?
Thanks.

Check the entry "About nondestructive editing" in iPhoto Help. With iPhoto '08 you will not see the "save" progress bar unless the photo was previously edited in iPhoto 6. Here is a portion of the text:
Nondestructive editing allows you to try different adjustments and effects at will⎯there’s no danger that successive edits and saves will degrade your photo’s quality. You’re never more than one version away from your original photo. Instead of saving a new version over the previous one every time you edit a photo, iPhoto ’08 simply remembers all your changes as an edit list.
When you reopen your edited photo to view or do more work, iPhoto then reapplies those edits to the original version. You’ll see where you left off, so you can make incremental changes from there.
IMPORTANT: For photos imported to earlier versions of iPhoto and never edited, nondestructive editing will apply in iPhoto ’08.
However, for photos imported to earlier versions and edited either in iPhoto or in a separate application such as Photoshop, nondestructive editing does not apply.
