Can't find Camera Raw\Cache on my C drive

When I go to Preferences in LR4, it says my Cache is located: C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Adobe\CameraRaw\Cache.
When I do a search under my C drive, I can only get as far as Owner, from there I can't find AppDate or the rest.
Any idea where else to look?

If you are having rendering or thumbnail problems it doesn’t hurt to clear the cache as an experiment to see if it helps, with the understanding that any raw images you view afterwards aren’t going to be in the cache so it will take more time to render them the first time.
You want your raw cache size to be bigger than the working set of photos for one session so it’s not continually purging and rebuilding the cache as you go through your set of photos because the cache isn’t big enough to hold all the photos in your working set.

Windows Find File can't find Camera Raw.8bi though it's there

Hi everybody,
Must be my age, but here it is:
Windows Find File (the search utility from the Start button in XP) can't find Camera Raw.8bi although it's sitting perfectly inside:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plugins\CS3\File Formats.
Even *.8bi didn't find it (or any other .8bi file for that matter). The obvious search strings *did* find the couple of archived ACR files I backed up, including the latest, but not the one sitting in it's normal spot.
I then tried my second PS machine (the laptop) and there the same happened (no ACR file found although its there).
On both computers ACR 4.3.1 is working correctly. I was just checking their location, because sometimes after a camera file ingest session, Bridge shows some Raw files as generic icons, which also have no metadata, and have "no" after "supports XMP".
The latter problem aside, maybe someone knows what I'm overseeing in the file find thing.
No folders or files in the above path are flagged Hidden or System, or anything.
Thanks,
Rob

Ok, That's ready (pffft!)
Now the file find problem. I put a check on the "hidden files" box, an now it actually finds it.
But it's not "hidden", nor "system". Just "archive".
So then I looked to see if any of the folders in the path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plugins\CS3\" was hidden, but no.
Fine. Heck, I got other things to do. It's not important. Faggettaboutit. Thanks for thinking with me!

Good grief, Fabrice! You need to update Photoshop ASAP. You should be on version 13.0.4 on your Mac.

No, you would never find ACR in the Finder. It's not a "program" or application but a plug-in that can be hosted either by Photoshop or by Adobe Bridge.
You cannot call on ACR by itself. ACR is available only when you specifically and deliberately open one or more supported files, and then it open either hosted by Photoshop or by Bridge.
What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior.
Now go and update Photoshop this very instant—you are four versions behind! Any file you create or have already created in 13.0.0 is potentially, permanently and irreparably compromised.

Can't Find Camera Raw Folder

I have a Mac, and have Creative Cloud download. I can open up a RAW image by using Bridge, and I see that Camera Raw is working, however, I can't find the path to download presets.

I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images. Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs. What am I missing?
Thanks,

Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
Photos > Use Raw as original.

Uh huh...and you'll need to convert those NEF files to DNG files using the free DNG Converter in order to use them with Photoshop CS5. Either that or upgrade to Photoshop CS6. BTW, it's prolly not a great idea to post your personal information on a forum...you might want to edit that out.

I just found an error in the file name for my Camera Raw Cache file. How do I correct it?

I just found an error in the file name for my camera raw cache file. The error is in my username. I don't know how to correct the error or if I should just leave it. I'm not sure where my cache file is stored on my computer. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Since you are on a Mac if when you first set up your account you left out the i in Wilson nothing you do will change that. The REAL account name will always be alicewlson. Once an account is created you can't actually change the name of it. You can change the name that is displayed but not the REAL account name.
Simplest thing to do is stop worrying about it. Everything is as it should be, that is except Wilson being spelled without the i.

I believe I made the error in my user name when I first got my computer a year ago. I then corrected it under my user name but not in my Lightroom files. I also looked for files with a .lrdata extension and didn't find any.

Can't install Camera RAW 6.3 into Elements 9

I have downloaded the installer for 6.3 but when I go to install it, I get this message. "Some updates failed to install." When it tells me to fix the problems below, all it says is: installation failed!
I need this update in order to open RAW images from my Canon Powershot S95.
I am working with Elements 9 on both an iMac running OS 10.6.8 and onto a new MacBook Pro.
I have spent an hour reading everything I can and haven't been able to find any place to send this question to Adobe by email. The phone system for help has more than a half-hour of wait time.
Can someone figure out this problem?
Cherie

Thank you. I couldn't find the Mac update section at the Adobe site by
using the various search options.
But,
The new download 6.5 installed without trouble. However, the "open with"
command still prompted Elements to respond with an "Unrecognized file type"
error, even though Elements was not listed as the default application.
Trying to open a nef file within Actrobat still showed the nef files grayed
out as unopenable with the application.
I tried to do the manual copying of the camera raw.plugin from the Assets 2
folder as you suggested. H owever it does not appear to be used in the
newer version (6.5). Instead, there is a Profiles directory containing two
further directories: CameraProfiles and LensProfiles.
The CameraProfiles folder contains a series of further folders for various
camera types, and each folder had a number of .dcp files. I can't find a
"camera raw.plugin" anywhere within Assets 2.
So, in sum:
1) The disk image Elements9CameraRaw-6.5-mul-AdobeUpdate downloaded from
Adobe installs correctly.
2) The default program type for .nef files was changed to Elements
3) Elements will not open a .nef file either from "open with" or within the
application selecting open from the menu.
Hoping you can help me work around this problem.
Thank you.

It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?

Did you find camera raw 7.2 more responsive?

hi
did you find camera raw 7.2 more responsive ?
i'm talking about sliders and lag
i run it under w7 32bit photoshop cs6 normal update to 13.0.1
thanks

For me it's a little faster than 7.1 to initially show the dialog on an open (by a small fraction of a second), but about the same as 7.0. It's a bit slower to open an image into Photoshop once the button has been hit, though.
I haven't seen any difference in the control response - it was interactive with virtually instantaneous response before for me and 7.2 was the same. An image quality issue, where the new Defringe feature doesn't quite work as well as its predecessor has caused me to drop back to version 7.0, though, and I do enjoy the faster opens.
I posted a set of instructions for benchmarking your performance at the following link, though there is nothing there about control responsiveness. You may want to go through that process, and also measure your control responsiveness. If you can show that your system opens up Camera Raw and does the actual conversions at the same speed as others' systems, yet has vastly slower control response, that could make your point that you have a specific problem.

QQ about Camera Raw Cache and why mine is empty

Quick question about Camera Raw Cache:
Mine is empty. Always.
I've read that the Develop module stores information on photos it opens in the Camera Raw Cache, while the Library module stores its previews in the LRDATA directory adjacent to the Lightroom Catalog. I've also read that the former can be stored anywhere and is limited to a size specified in Preferences, while the latter must accompany the Catalog file and has no cap on its size.
So why is my Camera Raw Cache always empty? I go in and out of the Develop module, edit, switch among photos within Develop, view images at 1:1 and larger within Develop, etc. Shouldn't that cause cache entries to be generated in the Camera Raw Cache? I've tried moving my Camera Raw Cache from within Preferences, and I have the size of the cache set to 30 GB with plenty of room on the drive, but it's still always empty.

Ah, yes. I shoot only JPGs. Funny how none of the documentation or tutorials mention that. The ones I've seen all imply that Lightroom uses Raw format internally when editing photos and that's why it needs a Camera Raw Cache for holding those internal files in the Develop module. I thought whenever I opened a photo in Develop, Lightroom was converting my JPGs interally to a proprietary Camera Raw format for editing them. Guess not, then.
So where does Lightroom hold all of its internal files for JPGs that I'm editing in the Develop module? Does it use the same files it generates in the Library module for 1:1 previews? (That's so different from what the tutorials say -- for example, around 11:00 on Julieanne Kost's tutorial on optimizing Lightroom, she never says she's only talking about working with Raw format.)

Lightroom using Adobe Camera Raw Cache

Just noticed I have a lot of large files accumlating in C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Cache.
Is this normal? Should it clean out automatically (does not seem to be) or can the size be limited?
Appreciate any insight.
~Bob

Hi Bob,
SIze limit on the camera Raw cache file is controlled in the FIle Handling tab of the Lightroom Preferences (Lightroom|preferences). The default setting for LR 2.0 is 1 GB. BE aware that this setting is also controlled by any other Adobe application that supports Camera Raw (Photoshop CS3, Bridge, etc.). So, if it is changed to 4 GB in Bridge, it is 4 GB in LR. It is a cache used by the Camera Raw and it speeds up Camera Raw applications. When you have finished, you can purge the cache at any time by pressing the Purge Button in the same section that contains the maximum cache size.

Curious question about Lightroom previews and Camera Raw Cache

Posted in the Flickr Lightroom Group as well:
I have noticed something about the Lightroom (3.6) previews and Camera Raw cache that have me puzzled.
I create a brand new empty catalog and purge the Camera Raw Cache.
Then I import ONE Nikon RAW (NEF) file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 megapixels - 10,036,224 pixels).
Next I export that NEF file to an uncompressed 8-bit TIFF file. You would expect the size of that TIFF file to be roughly 30 megabytes (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is 30,135,830 bytes in size. If you export the same TIFF file but specify ZIP compression the resulting file size is 10,834,038 bytes. Obviously the compression obtained here is going to be highly specific to the image but so far no surprises.
During import I specify render 1:1 previews and I go into Loupe mode and view the entire image at 1:1 size. I also visit the develop module and do a bunch of manipulations on the image but no cropping.
At the conclusion of all of that I exit from Lightroom and examine the size of the Camera Raw Cache folder as well as the Lightroom previews folder. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a rendered full image and that the Camera Raw Cache should also have a rendered form of the raw data. What would you expect the size of those respective folders to be?
In fact - in my trials the previews folder totals a mere 1,675,264 bytes and the Camera Raw Cache which contains one DAT file corresponding to the one cached image is merely 267,374 bytes. This does not seem like nearly enough bits to preserve the rendered image nor is there a full size image tucked away in the actual catalog either - that file is not large enough to contain that. And yet I can use Loupe mode at 1:1 size and move from image to image with no loading delays (even when importing multiple files).
I'm wondering if I've missed something obvious in my analysis and if not, whether someone might care to speculate as to what magic Adobe is practicing here. Even if we grant them some special algorithm to compress their previews I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much greater than the ZIP-compressed TIFF file achieves.
And for those that might think to ask - I've repeated these experiments with multiple raw images and on both the PC and MAC platforms.
I look forward to some answers or interesting theories or perhaps someone might replicate the experiment and report findings.

MadMan and Hal - thanks so much.
So that was my D'Oh moment of what I was missing - the use of re-rendered JPGS as previews. That certainly does fit with the file sizes I am seeing. I had naively assumed that the previews might have tried to preserve the full fidelity of the image - But as you suggest that full fidelity is likely only there in the develop module.
This perhaps explains another observation from the Develop module - moving from one image to another might display "Loading" either briefly or across a longer duration. My guess is that the length of the loading process might have to do more with what is cached in RAM than cached on disk in the camera raw cache. More of a shame then that 64-bit Lightroom on 64-Bit Windows cannot grab more RAM than it seems to do at present.
