Chromatic aberration being introduced to RAW file by PS CS3

I have been working on some old photos (Canon 10D RAW files) and when I open the files in Photoshop I find that the file has severe chromatic aberration (introduced upon opening). While in ACR, the file is fine (no CA) but when it opens in PS there are significant green and red shifts (unfixable using the lens correction filter). This happens regardless of whether I open the file as a smart object, a 16 bit or 8 bit file. I have recently loaded OSX 10.5.1, and the PS version is 10.0.1. Has anyone else had this problem?

>While in ACR, the file is fine (no CA)
You may need to zoom into the corners of the image to 200-400% to see and correct CA as well as other fringing. The Lens correction DOES produce reduced or eliminated defringing if you properly use it. If you have a question, post the raw file.

  • Opening RAW files with Bridge CS3

    When I try to open a RAW file from Bridge CS3 it defaults to Mac Preview and does not open Photoshop Elements 6 RAW converter.  If I open a RAW file outside of Bridge it work fine.  What did I do wrong??   Using a iBook G4 with OS 10.5.8 and Photoshop Elements 6 and new Camera RAW plugin for my Panasonic LX3 camera.  hjz62

    Bridge requires the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw to be installed.  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4581 Adobe states that this is the latest version of camera raw compatible with PSE-6 Mac. Others may have additional information.
    As to the issue of defaulting to Apple software, this issue is usually a configuration problem wherein certain file extensions are granted permissin to be summarily opened by a given program. ((Right clicking any given file, then choosing "open with", and selecting a given program  is a work around, but to avoid this step, you need to reconfigure your program settings.)) This is the Windows file path/solution, I am not familiar with Mac. I am confident that the issus is the same

  • ? The Chromatic Aberration slider in Camera Raw V. 6.7 disappeared.How do I retrieve it?

    The chromatic aberration slider in the Lens Correction panel in Camera Raw 6.7 (PS CS5) has disappeared. Must I re-download again, or?
    If I do, should I uninstall what is on the computer now? I use a Mac. Robert C. Tanner

    The CA corrections are now automatically applied using a checkbox, the sliders are gone (and won't be returning).

  • How to open RAW files in photoshop cs3

    Three years ago I purchased a Nikon 7000 and the cs3 will not open the Raw files  

    That would require ACR 6.3 which shipped with Photoshop CS5. Your best bet is to convert your Raw files to dng format  and then they should open in CS3.
    Get the latest DNG converter here:

  • Can't access Raw files in Bridge CS3

    I have recently had to purchase a new computer (Acer) and have re installed CS3.  When I open Bridge none of RAW files are showing and bridge doesn't say I can open any images in RAW.  I use windows XP
    I have dowloaded the ACR4.6 from the Adobe and believe I have installed it correctly.
    The Acer machine is a Veriton M670 and has a Intel Core 2 processor.
    I hope someone can help me.

    I assume you mean folder (directory), not "file".
    Make sure that folder is completely out of the way of the path to Photoshop, nowhere near your application directory.  Either put it in your Documents folder or delete it.

  • Suddenly Can't Open RAW files in Photoshop CS3!

    I have never had troubles with photoshop before, but since I installed windows 7 and reinstalled CS3, Photoshop is no longer able to open camera raw files! When I attempt to open one a window pops up stating: Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document. What on earth is going on?! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    Thats Correct. First check if there are two versions or not if there is, then it would be better to delete them and re-download it from this link
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4038&fileID=3755
    After the download unzip the files and then copy the Camera raw.8bi in this location
    >>> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats
    PS ::  Use Program Files and Program Files(X86) according to your computer.

  • Cannot open my G11 raw files in Bridge CS3.

    I just downloaded my G11 raw files onto my computer. Usually, I do a quick glance in Bridge CS3 but they do not open. I do have Photoshop CS4, but that doesn't help me, right? What do I need to do to open these?  I've already updated my Bridge CS3 to 2.1.1.9.
    I am using Mac G5, OS 10.5.x.

    But be aware that CS4 comes with ACR 5.0
    You will need to update it to version 5.6 for the G11.

  • Couldn't open RAW files in Bridge Cs3

    Hi,
    the RAW files (CR2) cannot be opened/developed with using Bridge CS3. When I double click the file (CR2) in Bridge, it just gave this prompt in Photoshop, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    I used to be able to open Raw files in my friend's G5 using Bridge. When I double click the file, it will automatically open the Canon Camera Raw with settings for me to adjust before I develop the picture. However when I tried on my own computer, it came out the prompt I mentioned above.
    Please advise what is the problem with my Bridge. Do I need to reintall the whole of Adobe suite?
    Thank you so much.

    Brian
    first check again the right location of (only one!) ACR plug in (see post 3 of this thread for details)
    Then quit Bridge, in user library go to preferences and manual trash the plist file for Bridge (com.adobe.bridge2.plist), restart again with option key and again reset prefs.
    If this is still not working create a new user account and check if Bridge is working correctly in this new user, if so your user account is corrupt and you should do maintenance for the OS (Archive and install).
    If still no luck go again to the user library/cache/Adobe/BridgeCS3/cache. This cache file can grow to the enormous portions, check the size and if you wish make a copy for back up. Then delete this whole cache file by dragging it to the trash. Again delete plist file and again restart option to refresh prefs. By deleting the cache file you will need to recache all your folders so it is a very hard way but it worked for me several times.

  • Opening RAW files in older CS3

    I have an older version, PS3 Extended.  I have always opened RAW files with no problem.  Recently, a friend with a newer camera and newer version of PS gave me some RAW files to open, and my CS3 says "Could not complete your request because it's the wrong kind of document".  I am wondering if the problem could be that I have an old version of PS?  Thanks.

    That's exactly the problem. It's all in the FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515
    You need the DNG Converter to open a batch of newer raw files. If you need to do this regularly, you might need to think about upgrading or using Lightroom.

  • Reading Canon 60d raw files with PS CS3

    I'm using PC CS3. I have a new Canon 60d, but neither the browser or the raw converter will recognize these files. Is there a way I can update my current PS, or the browser, or raw converter versions to recognize these? Another option would be to install the latest DNG converter, but this adds an extra file conversion step.  (This is at work, and they are not buying me an upgrade to latest PS, which I assume would fix the problem.)
    Any suggestions? Thanks, David

    The latest raw converter updates only work with the latest Photoshop.
    So...  You have two avenues you can go down:
    1.  For the ultimate in convenience and integration, you can upgrade to Photoshop CS5.  That doesn't sound like it's in the cards for you.
    2.  You can get the free Adobe DNG converter, which will convert your 60D raw files to standard format DNG files, which in turn Photoshop CS3 can open.

    The DNG converter does indeed require an extra step, but it's really not difficult to use.

  • 5d Mk II Raw Files compatible with CS3?

    Hey there,
    Anyone's help would be appreciated on this one. I've recently got the Canon 5D Mk II and am currently using Photoshop CS3. My previous ACR version couldn't read the files so I have just installed ACR 4.4.1.. but it doesn't seem to read the files either. Is this the latest ACR I can install or is there a later version that will read these files? Will CS3 read these Raw files or am I going to have to upgrade to CS4?
    Thanks in advance...

    You either have to upgrade to CS4 or use the DNG converter, which makes 5d Mk II raw files readable and editable in the CS3 version of ACR.

  • Opening raw files in photoshop cs3

    can anyone help please, can i open raw image files in cs3? do i need a plug in or a download? 

    You need Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).  Go to the download page and download the last vesion for CS3, believe it was 4.6. 
    Be aware that each version of Photoshop has its own series of ACR. 
    So if you have a latter model camera it might not work with an older ACR.  To check look here  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html

  • Opening Raw file in Photoshop CS3

    I downloaded Photoshop CS3 and when I open a raw image a screen called "Photoshop Raw Options" appears. It asks the dimensions, channels, and header sizes. I don't know what to fill in those boxes. I work on a Mac. Help
    -Abby

    When I removed CS2 the procedure also removed Adobe Gamma. This is a little utility that enables you to do a very basic monitor calibration. I had been using it, so this caused a little concern at first. But then I used a program that came with my video card so I haven't had a need for Adobe Gamma. Other than that, I had no problems.
    Be aware that Camera Raw is updated about four times each year. You need to watch the forum because it is a good place to find out about the updates. Alternatively, in Photoshop if you go to the help menu there is an option to check for updates. It might be a good idea to run that about every three months. If there is an update available it will be installed for you.

  • How do I reset a RAW file to it's original settings?

    Hello
    [I use PS CS3 (Although I have access to CS4) and an intel imac]
    I want to keep my RAW files unadulterated, in the state that they were shot, so that I can return to them at a later date to 'play' again, with a fresh point of view. However, when I open Bridge, i see they have the icon on them indicating that changes have been applied to them. I don't need the RAW files with the changes, I already have the jpgs and tiffs that i created from them.
    Yes, i searched the forms here and found how to prevent the settings from being applied to RAW files that I open from now on: tested the method and it's good.
    I also followed the remove xmp file advice and that worked, too.
    However, I still have a couple of RAW files that didn't have xmp files associated with them, and I can't get rid of the little icon, hence i assume the changes are still there.
    How can I recover the original unchanged RAW files for these?
    What I've tried: in Camera Raw i 'reset camera raw defaults', because I thought that would return all the sliders to the unchanged state, but as you can see, it still indicates changes. The camera is panasonic, and came with Silky Pix to work with the RAW files: last night I tried SP on the same photo (created the spd file). Would the spd file have anything to do with my problem?
    By the way, SP opened the raw file while it still had the CR changes applied and I think SP might have been working from the already-adjusted raw file. (Which is another reason why i want to keep the RAW files clean and original)
    Hope someone can help me (And that this isn't too confusing)

    Hi
    I just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 6 and installed Camera Raw. I’m taking RAW photos since some time so I hope this will improve my workflow.
    Like Elizbonn, I’m a bit lost about some features of Camera Raw and the files it manages.
    I understand what a RAW file is and I think I understand what a DNG file is.
    Is there a reference document more specific than the Help files?
    I found out by myself a couple of stuff but I’m not quite sure I guessed correctlt and I have some questions here. Maybe they are answered some place.
    1. The RAW file is never modified (by any soft that I know of actually). Right?
    2. DNG is a universal format that stores the same data as the original RAW with no loss. Right?
    2.1. Yet creating a DNG file is optional. I have a Canon camera so my RAWs are in CR2 format which is widely supported and since I’m just an amateur photographer I don’t need to go for DNGs. Right? Or I could just trash the CR2 files without losing anything. Right?
    3. The xmp file stores parameters about both the RAW file and the DNG (if I create one). It has to remain in the same folder at all times. I tried renaming: it works if it's applied to all the files. Some under-the-hood details are still unclear with Camera Raw:
    3.1. When a RAW image is opened, if I do no modification and I click the Open Image button, an xmp file is created. What for? If I trash it nothing happens.
    3.2. When a RAW image is opened, if I do some modifications and I click the Open Image button the modifications I did are stored in the xmp file. In the future, whenever I open that RAW file, Camera Raw will display the modified image provided the xmp is in the same folder. Right? The only way to revert to the original image is by moving the xmp file somewhere else. Right?
    3.3. The Undo function with Camera Raw goes only one step backward. Right?
    4. Camera Raw’s functions are in part similar to Photoshop Element’s and some are specific. Do they work the same?
    Thanks in advance for your input.

  • When are RAW files modified?

    I know that Lightroom is based on the idea of non-destructive editing.
    However, even tho I'm still a LR newbie, it does look to me like there
    are a few cases in which LR does modify a RAW file as it came from the
    camera (e.g., the NEF bug). Where would I find an accurate list of the
    operations that do cause a modification of RAW files. (For example, is
    inserting metadata on import one of these?)
    (This is my first post here. Does anybody else find it odd that the
    posting software considers "Lightroom" and "metadata" to be misspelled?)
    Many thanks.

    Milt,
    >(This is my first post here. Does anybody else find it odd that the posting software considers "Lightroom" and "metadata" to be misspelled?)
    Yes :)
    >I know that Lightroom is based on the idea of non-destructive editing. However, even tho I'm still a LR newbie, it does look to me like there are a few cases in which LR does modify a RAW file as it came from the camera (e.g., the NEF bug).
    Is the term 'nondestructive editing' being used correctly here? The way I typically see the term used in Adobe's literature and doc is not applicable to RAW files.
    Before CS3 Photoshop did/does destructive editing with its filters. With Photoshop filters if you apply certain effects and filters they degrade the image in memory so if you try to apply an opposite filter or undo the effect, tough luck. Nondestructive editing in CS3 (and in Lightroom) allows application of effects and filters in a 'virtual' manner that can be backed out, applied multiple times or changed without image degradation.
    None of this applied to RAW files because Photoshop and Lightroom do not touch the *image* bits of any camera manufacturer's RAW file (metadata changes aside). You cannot open a RAW file like a .NEF in Photoshop and save it as a .NEF RAW file -- it has to be saved as PSD, TIFF, DNG or whateverand you can do destructive editing in those formats with filters, rotations, etc. The original RAW file itself, however, always remains intact. So no PS or LR editing can be destructive in that sense.
    Lightroom virtualizes all of its edits so you can back out any LR edit without degrading image quality. That is nondestructive editing -- again, of the image itself. That said, changing camera metadata in a RAW file is not something I can see immediate use for, I admit. But even that doesn't touch the actual RAW image bits.
    >>For myself, I will not start using LR on anything except experimental copies of my photo library until I am fairly confident I have this list in hand so I can avoid doing the things on the list.
    Your call, of course. But the only way to avoid something bad happening to your file is to have a copy of the file somewhere else. A lot of things can damage your file that have nothing to do with LR. I have copies of all my photos on a separate computer. My next step wrt that will be to burn Blu-Ray disks to keep offsite.
    I also have 5500 photos that Lightroom is doing quite an amazing job with for me overall. Printing (certainly with titles) is the weakest link in LR (I've made some feature enhancement requests/recommendations for the Print module in that area) but the rest of the program has removed most of the hassle, drudgery and unnecessary expense/waste from photography and made it a truly new, fresh joy again, just like it was for me 30 years ago when I bought my first SLR.
    Cheers,
    Robert
