Confused over saving files in Bridge or Camera Raw CS4

I'm a little confused the way Bridge and Camera Raw saves files that have been adjusted. For example, when I took a photo and just applied a crop to it, I clicked on "save image" in camera raw, set up a new folder and new file name. I clicked on ok expecting to see the uncropped photo in the original source folder. What I saw was the cropped photo under the original file name.
Ultimately I found the original file by looking through explorer. I guess my question is, Is there a tutorial that explains the way Bridge/Camera Raw saves files?
Appreciate the help

The changes applied by Camera Raw are saved as metadata, a few lines of code added to the file or to a separate XML file. If you want to save the changes done by Camera Raw then simply click on Done, the Save button will save a copy, not the current changes back onto the original file.
Check out the section on Camera Raw from the Help files:

    Any insight/wisdom would be much appreciated. Thanks

    When you try to open in PS what happens?
    In Bridge do you see icons or thumbnails?
    Will it open in ACR in Bridge?

  • DNGs produced from Hasselblad .fff files display a different image in Bridge and Camera Raw

    Lately, not sure when this started exactly, Bridge CC (and Camera RAW 8.7) are displaying incorrect DNG images!  Instead of showing the image I expect to see, I'll see an old image from days ago.  This seems to carry on from Bridge through to Camera RAW.  But then if I continue on to Photoshop with the image, it'll finally show the correct image. 
    I'm assuming this has something to do with DNG, because if I load another raw file type (like .fff or .NEF), it seems ok.  Also it seems to be ok with DNGs produced from other cameras like Nikon D90.
    My set up:
    - Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
    - Bridge CC
    - Camera Raw 8.7
    - Photoshop CC 2014
    - Hasselblad H4D-50

    HI, I managed to fix the trouble by reinsatalling once again and running updates BEFORE opening bridge. It seemed that if I ran the update AFTER opening bridge I would get either an up to date status when checking for updates or I would get an install failure notice on all 4 updates that were trying to install. The updates were for camera raw, bridge and PS. I can't explain why but that helped a little. I also changed permissions on my whole user accnt to include read/write for all users. I can't say if this helped or not. I also had to go into my camera B/U files on a sepate HD and replace some of the CR folders I was using o nthe desktop. Still the CR files would not show a thumb nor a preview till I then went to each individual file inside that folder and purged the cashe for that file so it could repopulate the cashe yet again. This has been the strangest few days in PSCS6 history! Well my personal history. I will report back here if more quirks emerge. I would prefer quarks though....aloha, U

  • Bridge or camera RAW - not enough memory to run Nikon D800 large 50 MB files  Any suggestions?

    Does any one have the same problem trying to work with Nikon D800 large files (50MB !) and Camera RAW ??
    Even with one image opend when I click Done I get a message Bridge is low on memory - Restart.   Also the tumbnails preview  and full scree becomes blank!
    I have CS5 / Camera RAW 5.7  Computer Windows XP  4 G Memory
      Is it a Bridge issue or Camera RAW issue?    Any proven solution?
    Thanks
    Dov

    I have CS5 / Camera RAW 5.7  Computer Windows XP  4 G Memory
    Could you provide more details about your configuration?
    This info can't be right, CS5 comes with ACR 6.7 and Windows XP needs at least servicepack 3 to my knowledge.
    4 GB RAM might be sufficient but is not much, do you have also the 64 bit installation?
    And did you reset the preferences for Bridge also.
    Maybe Curt hops in, I am a Mac user and don't know very much about Windows I'm afraid

  • HELP!!??? Trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing grainy and pixelated images after being imported using PS Bridge and Camera-Raw 8.5

    Help!??? I am having trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing/ saving grainy pictures when import NEF files!!!
    Hi all,
    When I import all NEF or RAW files into CS6 from Bridge and Camera Raw from the Nikon D200 and D5000, they become grainy/ pixelated.  However, RAW files from the D800 did not have problem. I set the Color Space in my Nikons to AdobeRGB, in PS Camera Raw 8.5 to AdobeRGB, in PS CS-6 ColorSpace to AdobeRGB, and Save As Jpeg with Max quality (12). When comparing between CS-6 produced file and the original, I can see a big drop in quality and the picture become grainy and pixelated. What can I do to make this right? Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Can you show us a screen-shot of the raw in Camera Raw that shows this noise, or if you only see it in the saved JPG, then show us a side-by-side of the raw in Camera Raw and the JPG?  Show the same area of the photo and zoom to 100%.
    It is normal for raw photos to have grain but you can mostly remove it with the Luminance Noise-Reduction sliders in the Detail tab of Camera Raw.
    The amount of grain depends on the ISO sensitivity setting on the camera.

  • File Naming Problem in Camera Raw 5.4

    Am having a problem when processing Raw images in CS4 using Camera Raw 5.4
    After processing the image I click 'Save Image'.
    In the 'Save Options' box, under 'File Naming' I enter what I want to call the saved image.
    Eg.  'Hooded Top' becomes 'Hooded Top.jpg'
    The file is then saved onto the Desktop.
    Camera Raw seems to be 'stuck' on a previous file name. It will add the same previous file name to the end of the new image.
    You can see in the image that the text to the right of 'Example' also seems to be stuck between two lines of text.
    If I want to call an image 'Hooded Top' it will add an old name
    Eg. 'Hooded Top' will become 'Hooded TopTrack Pants.jpg'     (Track Pants being the previous image name)
    I have been using CS4 trial for a month with no problems. I have just upgraded to CS4 from CS3 today. The program was working fine all morning.
    I have re-installed CS4 and restarted my Mac Pro (OSX 10.5.8). I am using a Canon EOS 5D Mk2.
    Any thoughts appreciated.

    Look in Task Manager.
    One or both of them may be running under Processes.
    Use End Process.
    My advice is not to use the automatic startup for Bridge.

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

  • Corrupted RAW in Bridge CC, Camera RAW and Photoshop CC

    Hello,
    I am using up to date versions of Bridge CC, Camera RAW nad Photoshop CC and I have the following problem.
    - after transfer photos from Canon EOS 6D to computer thumbnails in Bridge seems to be fine
    - when I open file in Camera RAW file seem as below example
    - when I open file in Photoshop CC file seem as below example
    - when I open RAW in IrfanView image seems to be fine
    - I can open image in IrfanView, save as TIFF and in Bridge and Photoshop seems to be fine
    - the problem occurs randomly, about 5% of images from 500 images
    Do you have similar problem? Does anybody have any idea?

    The previews are ok in Bridge because it's just a preview jpg, not the actual RAW file.   I'm not sure why it would open OK in Irfanview.  I had a similar problem after a HDD crash and tried Irfanview with no more luck than any of the Adobe programs.
    Have you tried Adobe's DNG converter to see if you get the same result?  Is this a consistent problem, or just this one time?

  • CS5 not responding after opening Bridge and Camera Raw

    I have been using bridge, camera raw and cs5 since it was released. I have not any problems until this morning. I am able to open Bridge and Camera Raw, but when trying to open PS CS5, it does not respond?
    Any suggestions?

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Are Bridge and Mini Bridge and Camera Raw part of PS?

    1.) Are Bridge and Mini Bridge and Camera Raw part of PS? OR do they also come with other programs in the Adobe software suite?
    2.) What is the difference between Bridge and Mini Bridge?
    Thanks.

    1.) The  Bridge application is included in the Photoshop installer, as well as  some other Adobe products.(more info:  http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/bridge/?promoid=GWELP). The  Mini Bridge extension is only included in Photoshop CS5, and InDesign  CS5. The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is shared by Photoshop, and  Bridge (and is also found in Photoshop Elements).
    2.) Bridge is a separate application, whereas Mini Bridge is a panel  that's hosted by the Photoshop or InDesign application. Bridge has a fuller feature set than Mini Bridge and can be used by itself. Mini Bridge needs Bridge to create thumbnails, keep files  synchronized, and perform other  tasks, but operates in the context of the Ps or ID host application (ie. drag/drop multiple assets into working document w/o losing document view).

  • Bridge and Camera Raw vs. Lightroom

    Is there anything that can be done in Bridge or Camera Raw (CS6) that can not be done in Lightroom4?

    This is an extremely broad question, you could probably make a list of three dozen items, and I'm not going to attempt to do so. I point out that there is probably a very long "opposite" list, i.e. things that you can do in Lightroom that you cannot do with Bridge/ACR.
    One of the biggest differences is that Bridge is a file browser, while Lightroom is not. Thus, if you point Bridge to a folder, and there are 15 photos there, then Bridge "knows" about all of them, and you can view all of them and work with all of them. If you have previously imported 5 of those files into Lightroom, but not the other 10, then when you point Lightroom to this folder, it only knows about the 5 that have been imported, and you cannot see or work with the other 10. A consequence of this is that if you move a photo in your operating system, Bridge has no issues, but the photo becomes disconnected in Lightroom and cannot be used until a reconnect happens. Naturally there are advantages and disadvantages to both ways of doing things.
    If you have specific question about doing something in Bridge vs Lightroom, we can discuss those.

  • RAW Images Alter When Saved After Processing in CS5 Camera RAW?

    Hi,
    I am currently experiencing a problem in Photoshop CS5, where after processing a CR2 RAW image file in Camera RAW, whether I then decide to open the image straight into CS5, or save as a jpeg or tiff file, the image completely alters from what I was previously seeing in the Camera RAW window?
    The saved jpeg/tiff, or image now shown in CS5 is now very tinted, where objects that were perfectly white in the Camera RAW window are now a dirty yellow colour.
    I was just wondering if there was any advice any of you could give me as to what the problem might be?
    I have made sure that both CS5 and the Camera RAW window are both set to sRGB, but it has had no effect on the problem.
    Thank you in advance for any help

  • 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.

  • Bridge and Camera RAW preferences not working

    I'm setting up a new Macbook Pro, late 2013 15", 10.9.2
    CS6 Production Premium, Also have Indesign CS6, LR5, Acrobat Pro 11. Camera RAW is version 8.4. Everything is up to date.
    Bridge and Camera RAW preferences are not working correctly. Bridge prefs related to Bridge display, e.g. color theme, text beneath thumbnails, favorite locations, etc.. all work fine. Bridge prefs open and close fine with no errors. "Double Click Edits Camera RAW Settings in Bridge" does not take. Photoshop launches to open Camera RAW regardless of whether this is checked or not. Camera RAW preferences will not open. Selecting "Camera RAW Preferences" from Bridge does nothing. Camera RAW seems to work fine hosted by Photoshop.
    I tried a new user with the same results.
    What's up with this? Anyone else seeing this? Solution?
