Color differences between Camera RAW 6.2 and Photoshop CS5

Hi,
I have got two problems:
Everytime I open a raw file in Camera Raw, the picture is a bit darker than in Photoshop. The difference is very annoying...
and, apart from that,
2. The pictures in Adobe Bridge look much more saturated and darker than in Camera RAW or Photoshop. The result of my research was, that I have to go to "Edit -> Bridge Color Pre-Settings" and choose the right color-management. But when I klick on the button, it says that the function is something like deactivated. Someone said, I have to buy the entire Creative Suite to activate this function? Is that true?
The color profile I work with: sRGB
I already updated Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop. But the problem still exists...
Does anyone know the problems and may help me?
Thanks a lot!
-Aldo

Thanks for your replies.
A few minutes ago I calibrated my display again. Now, the difference between ACR and Photoshop seems to be even greater.
When the calibration was finished, the software offered a before/after-button (Before and after calibration). The "Before-image" was much more dark than the "after-image". Just as dark as the photo is in ACR(!).
Maybe there's a connection. I think Photoshop uses the right profile (the profile generated by the Spyder2Express), but ACR uses some different wrong profile.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Hmm, they should be the same.
How did you calibrate your display? Where did the display profile come from?
The profile called "Spyder2express.icm" was saved in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

Downloaded camera Raw 8.7 and photoshop CS5 still won't run it

I'm going to cry if CS5 keeps stuffing me around...Can't update programs for any of the CS5 suite won't explain why, just bought a nikon D750 and had to download camera raw 8.7 and photoshop still won't recognise it, so far I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still fails to update. Any solutions out there

Also I should add the updater does not work on CS5, so you must manually download and install them.

Is codec 1.18 compatibile with Camera Raw 6.7 and Photoshop CS5.1?

I'm planning my purchase of a D7100, and would like to understand the software updates that would be required to process raw files in Photoshop. My current software is: Photoshop CS5.1, Camera Raw is 6.7, Codec 1.12, and Windows 7. The Adobe website indicates that I need to upgrade the codec to 1.18. I'm OK with that. But, will that codec work with the versions of camera raw and Photoshop that I currently have?

I'm pretty sure that's not required for adobe camera raw to work and yes i agree with your post 5, as the nikon d7100 camera raw files require camera raw 7.4 and
since photoshop cs5 only is compatible to camera raw 6.7, photoshop cs5 won't open those d7100 files unless you use the 7.4 dng converter to convert your raw
files to dng copies.

Differences between Camera RAW 6.4 and Lightroom 3.4

Hello,
I just installed the Lightroom 3.4 update and the Photoshop Elements/Camera Raw 6.4 update. I always thought the underlying RAW-engine was the same, but is that true? I have a Canon CR2-RAW file. When opening it into Camera Raw 6.4 the result differs from the result I get with Lightroom 3.4. In Camera RAW a relatively large part of the picture is colored red because of clipping in the highlights. When opening the same picture in Lightroom, only a very small part is clipping. The settings (Exposure/Recovery etcetera) are exactly the same.
Also, the histograms of the picture differ from eachother.
Who can help?

Lightroom actually uses four color spaces:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3415073
But don't confuse 'Color Space' with 'Camera Profiles' – You can't change the color space in LR, and do not want to! The 'Camera Profiles' provided in LR are the 'in-camera' equivalents (Camera Standard, Faithful, Landscape, etc) and Adobe's Standard. Some more information here on Camera Profiles:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/358016?tstart=0
The differences you are seeing between LR and ACR are real, but if you set the PSE color space to Adobe RGB this should be minimal. If this is not acceptable then your only option is a full upgrade to PS CS5 or PS CS5 Extended, which supports ProPhoto RGB profile. PSE does not!
Has your monitor been calibrated using hardware monitor calibrator for ~100 cd/m2 @ 6500K? If NO, STOP and go get one! If YES, read on. I personally have never liked the results using LR Camera Profiles with my Canon DSLRs (300D, 600D, 5D MKII). You can create custom develop presets using one or more of the available LR camera profiles, and they might work very well for you. You will need to shoot a standard subject, compare screen image to live subject real-time, make adjustments, and save as a new preset. Then you should be able to get pretty close for that one (1) subject type! I use the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport to create custom camera profiles with each of my camera bodies for Daylight, Cloudy and Tungsten lighting. With over 35 years of color darkroom experience the difference to my eyes is like night and day!

Difference between 'Camera Raw Defaults' option and Default button

I am using ACR 4.6 under CS3 in Windows.
If I open an image and click the Default button above the exposure sliders, all the tonal settings are reset to the defaults, but Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation are not altered.
If I select 'Camera Raw Defaults' from the menu the tonal settings are reset to the defaults as above, but Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation are also reset to 0.
I was under the impression that the Default button and the 'Camera Raw Defaults' option did the same thing, but apparently not. What is the difference?

The default button you are talking about only affects the sliders in the same group with the button.

JPEG color difference between Adobe Raw and Microsoft Image Viewer

When I calibrate my monitor or use the monitors ICC file which came with the Monitor, there is a color difference between Camera Raw image and the JPEG I save from Camera Raw, displayed in Microsoft Image Viewer.
However, if I make my ICC file for the system to be SRGB Color Space Profile, and go through the same conversion, the JPEG image created and viewed in Microsoft Image viewer is identical to the one seen in Camera Raw.
It appears therefore, that the operating system only uses SRGB Color Space profile for Microsoft Imaging Viewer?
Most people I give photos to, do in fact look at them in microsoft viewer.
How can I use the ICC profile for my calibrated monitor and end up with the same results in terms of color with Camera Raw and Microsoft image and Fax Viewer.

All profiles are not created equal. There's a basic version issue (ICC v4 vs. earlier), and profiles are complex things containing many fields. Lots of things can go wrong in the creation of a proper color transform from the combination of the document and device profiles, and it kind of depends on what color management code the software uses whether it can be done properly. Adobe has their own - the Adobe Color Engine - and there are others such as LittleCMS or even Microsoft's system-provided ICM that application designers may be using in their code.
It may be that the profile your calibrator/profiler has produced for your monitor (or other device) isn't compatible with every application. It happens.
This isn't intended to provide a solution or workaround, just to help explain things a bit.

I lose changes in the details when i open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why?

I lose changes that I made with the tools in the "Details" section, just right after I open my photos from camera raw 7.0 to photoshop cs5, why? The changes that I made with the tools in the "Basic" section remain.

First, how and why are you using Camera Raw 7.0 with CS5?
ACR 7.x requires CS6 to run.
Even if that's a typo in your post and you are running CS6 instead of CS5, no one should be running ACR 7.0, but ACR 8.4 —or at the very least 7.4.
Once any given camera model is supported by a version of ACR, it will continue to be supported in all subsequent versions of ACR. Each update to ACR has unannounced, unheralded bug fixes and improvements. Running 7.0 at this point is sheer madness.
Please clarify.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

I'm trying to install the Camera Raw plug-in into Photoshop CS5 but it keeps failing

Hi - I'm trying to install Camera Raw plug-in into Photoshop CS5 but it keeps failing - I don't keep any reasons at all. The product is registered - please help!

Which version of Camera Raw? Which camera?
Familiarize yourself with these two tables
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
They tell you which version of Camera Raw is required to support your camera. The also tell you which version of Camera Raw is compatible with your CS5 (up to version 6.7 only).
It may be that the version of Camera Raw you need is not compatible with CS5.

Difference in displaying RAW files, between Camera RAW 5.3 and default preview...

Weird problem: when I import new RAW pics from my Canon (EOS 450D), they are previewed by the catalog viewer in very vivid and live colors. However when I try to edit them using Camera RAW 5.3, the INITIAL image that pops up is very dull... How come there is a difference in the algorithm when doing the "default" preview and the one used by the initial view of Camera RAW ?
I want to have the same "start" image in Camera RAW as shown by the default preview...
(I hope this is a clear enough exposition of the problem...)
Thanks!
Misha.

The initial image that pops up is a low resolution .jpg preview that is embedded in the RAW file.
The duller version is indeed your unprocessed RAW photograph. Processing should make it look just as good, or better, than that .jpg preview.

Difference between Camera Raw 8.7.1 and 7.4 using Photoshop Elements 11

Hi,
I have been using Elements 11 to edit my pics which are shot in RAW. I've been editing the images first with Camera Raw 7.4,
very sucessfully and finishing them in Elements 11. Very satisfied.
I just upgraded to Elementrs 13 which includes a new Camera Raw capability - 8.7.1. I edited few images with the sliders
and saw no differences. Does anyone know what the difference or improvements might be - 'under the hood - perhaps'???
Look forward to your input & thanks

I agree. But the problem here isn't with Adobe. If the camera manufacturers could agree on a common file format all of this compatibility mayhem could be eliminated. But they insist on maintaining their proprietary raw formats.
A common file format is not a panacea - somebody has to write the code to translate sensor data to RGB values etc.., and right now:
Nikon does that for Nikon,
Canon does that for Canon,
Adobe does that for Adobe.
Reverse engineering different raw file formats (to locate raw image and pertinent metadata) is comparatively trivial.
Yes, I realize that if Nikon and Canon did that for Adobe too (and packaged it in a DNG file for example, with camera profiles.., and did new lens profiles for them too..), then it would be better for Adobe software users, but there is just insufficient incentive for camera manufacturers to do that.
The bottom line - I agree that the problem here isn't with Adobe, but also: it's unfair to accuse camera manufacturers of being "stubborn or uncooperative..". It just doesn't make good business sense for them, or hasn't yet anyway.
Fingers crossed for the future and all, but I wouldn't hold breath..

Scale difference between Camera Raw and Lens Correction Filter in CS6

I have the latest Camera Raw plugin (8.6.0.254). When I open an NEF file from a D800, the resulting image is 4912x7360 pixels, whether I apply distortion correction or not.
If I load the NEF file, do not apply distortion correction in Camera Raw, but then apply it via the Lens Correction Filter, the image must be rescaled to approximately 4840x7252 (some 98.53%) so that it matches the results of the Camera Raw plugin (minus the missing pixels around all four sides, of course).
Anyone else notice this (particularly in newer versions of Photoshop)? Is there a way to prevent this cropping? The amount of distortion on the lens (35mm) is minimal and, regardless of that, I would have expected Camera Raw and the Lens Correction filter to output identical images after distortion correction, since the lens profile is the same.

To see if that can be replicated, we'd need to now the exact version of CS6 you're running (e.g. on Mac you should be on Photoshop CS6 13.0.6) and the exact version of your OS.

Difference in Camera Raw 7.2 and Lightroom 4.2

Camera Raw 7.2 seems to have introduced a colour management issue since the Adobe Standard camera profile is no longer present in Camera Raw 7.2, whereas it still appears in the Lightroom 4.2 version.
This means that raw files exports from Lightroom 4.2 to Photoshop CS6 as an external editor get converted from Adobe Standard (the Lightroom default) into one of the ACR presets in Camera raw resulting in a marked colour shift.
Since it does not appear possible to select the profile being used by Camera Raw on the fly when using Photoshop as an external editor from within Lightroom then this cannot be corrected.
The only solution seems to be to define a default profile such as Camera Standard v4 in Camera Raw and ensure that all images in Lightroom are assigned this profile when importing so that the colour remains consistent when editing in Photoshop.
The two dialogs are shown below.
This did not appear to be an issue in earlier versions of Camera Raw (at least, not on my old MBP with CS5 and LR3), so why has the Adobe Standard profile been removed and how can we select a different profile when using Photoshop CS6 as an external editor in Lightroom 4.2 in order to maintain colour consistency?

Did you perhaps delete or un-install anything related to Adobe lately? ACR and LR shuld be seeing the exact same set of DNG profiles unless things have been removed or moved. You could try downloading the most recent version of DNG Converter 7.2 and do an install. This should replace all DNG profiles current with ACR 7.2.

Camera Raw 7.0 for Photoshop CS5 to be compatible with Lightroom 4?

When I try to open an image from LR4 in Photoshop CS5 I get a message asking me to download Camera Raw 7.0. This is not on the Adobe web site. When will it be available?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Out of curiosity, what difference does it make if you edit ACR functions in ACR or LR? What can you do in ACR that you can't do in LR?
I sometimes think of LR as an alternate front-end to CS5. YMMV.
No, they're different tools with vastly different and complementary capabilities, unless you use them only for minor tweaks. Why would you want the same ACR capability in CS5 as you have in LR? Check into "Open as smart object" -- I do this sometimes to bring in a fully editable RAW into CS5 so I can continue to operate on it at the RAW level. You can duplicate the layer, apply ACR to the duplicate (which also modifies the first layer), rasterize the duplicate when you're done. Then you go back to the background/first layer, set it back or change it some more with ACR, rasterize it, and with layer masks you can select which parts of each edit you want to show through on the final composite image.
I typically do this a lot for exposures that have too much dynamic range: one layer with negative EC, another with positive EC + fill (if needed), then composite the two to get a more balanced exposure. With the Adjustment brush's updates in LR4, you can do most of this now there (Shadow recovery in the Adjustment Brush is huge!), but that is using circular areas, which aren't always practical. Think of an irregular, jagged edge area that is in shadows: that's a lot of little and big brush circles to get the job done in LR4, where a mask in CS5 is far more practical and powerful.

I have CS and Elements 12.
The former has Camera Raw 6.7.0.339 and the latter 8.2. I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ200 which requires a minimum of 7,2. I want to open my RAW files in CS5 rather than Elements. How fo I download and install Camera Raw 8.2 into CS5?

Check this discussion, something like CR 8.2 needs PS CS6 to function:
