CS6 32-bit HDR files open as 8-bit in Camera Raw 7.3
As the title says my 32-bit HDR files open as 8-bit in Camera Raw 7.3. I have a Win 7 32-bit system. I create the 32-bit HDR and then save it as a 32-bit TIFF but when I open it in PS CS6 via Camera Raw 7.3 it comes in as only 8-bit.
As far as i know acr won't output an 32 bits/channel file (hdr), but you should be able to change acr so photoshop gets a 16 bits/channel image by clicking on the
Workflow Options at the bottom of the acr dialog and set the depth to 16 bits/channel.

After trying all options provided by Adope I cannot open *.arw files under Elements 11.
You need camera raw 8.3 for your camera. It is only compatible with PSE12 or PSE13. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Opening Smart Obect layers in Camera Raw
Hello all,
I've been working on a Photoshop CS3 JS script that parses art layers in files checking for Smart Objects. When a Smart Object layer is detected, the script opens the embedded file to ascertain the original resolution/pixel dimensions. I'm using executeAction to perform the "Edit Contents" action...
>var id1 = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerEditContents" );
>var desc1 = newActionDescriptor();
>executeAction(id1, desc1, DialogModes.NO);
Which works perfectly... unless the embedded file is a RAW file or a TIFF/JPEG with Camera Raw settings, causing it to open in Camera Raw rather than as a temporary .psb document. In those cases, the script hangs once Camera Raw becomes active.
Does anyone know of a way to take further action in such cases, if only to cancel out of Camera Raw. Or, is there any method to inspect a Smart Object's contents before opening it to determine whether it is a RAW file or has XMP data?
Any assistance is much appreciated.> Which works perfectly... unless the embedded file is a RAW file or a TIFF/JPEG with Camera Raw settings, causing it to open in Camera Raw rather than as a temporary .psb document. In those cases, the script hangs once Camera Raw becomes active.

Try exporting to a file then sniffing the file for XMP data. Basically, look for
a string that looks like this in the exported file:

I recently switched from PC to Mac and I want to be able to open a tiff or jpeg in camera raw. I could do it on my PC but can't figure out how to do it in Mac??
Use File>Open, set Enable to All Readable Documents, then click on your tiff or jpeg and select Camera Raw under Format

Opening RAW files in Bridge - not recognized as "Camera RAW files"
I would appreciate any help with this as I am frustrated after spending hours trying to figure this out:
I use a Mac OS X laptop
I have a Panasonic (DMC FZ8) camera that I've been taking RAW pictures with. I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera using Bridge (I have Photoshop CS2)..I have also tried copying the files to a folder on my desktop and opening from there. The problem is that Bridge doesn't recognize my .RAW files as actual "Camera RAW" files and the icons remain as the Preview icon and not actually a preview of the image. If I click on it to open it in Photoshop the "Photoshop RAW Options" come up set on 8 bits and when I open it, it's just a gray screen. I have checked the settings for RAW Camera and the Panasonic RAW files .raw is selected. I have also tried selecting "show only camera raw files" in my window that is open and my .RAW files that are there gray out - so the program isn't recognizing them.
I just downloaded the Plug-in 3.7 Camera Raw and had to create folders for it in Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats. the only folder I had was Application Support/Adobe so the rest I created.
I'm now lost as to what I should do next. Nothing I try seems to be working.
PLEASE HELP!>I plug my camera into my computer and try and open the RAW files directly from the camera
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
That is a monumentally bad idea. Transfer the closed files to your local hard drive first.
This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
Drains the camera battery
Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card -
How to open Fuji X-1E RAF files in CS5? I have Camera RAW 6.7
According to what I've seen on the Adobe website Camera RAW 6.7 in CS5 should be able to open the files from my Fuji but it isn't. Photoshop says all the components are up to date.
Any ideas how I can get it to work?
Thanks
TonyI assume you're referring to the Fuji X-E1 camera.
You will never be able to open those files directly in CS5. There will be no more updates for that version.
That camera was first supported in ACR 7.2, which needs at least Photoshop CS6 to run.
Look for, download, install and run the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.5 on the folder(s) containing your raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs which you can run on your current version of Photoshop. -
16 bit/14bit nefs opening in P/S from camera raw 5.2 as 8 bit images
I am downloading 16 bit nefs (D300) from card reader with cs4 bridge. In bridge I can check the meta data and see that they are 16bit but when I open in camera raw 5.2 then do the open file in photoshop form there they open as 8bit files instead of 16bit as I expected. I tryed the convert to dng on the import and get same 8bit results. I am using windows xp pro. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I have slow dial up here so do not have my work photoshop computer hooked to net for help files from bridge and photoshop. Also have Shewes new real world camera raw and his deal with Martin Eweing preordered from amazon but don't know when they will come.
>I'm having trouble understanding the jargon though. Are you saying that the sensor data is read more slowly in 14-bit, which reduces the noise floor? and that is is only of any benefit when used at the lowest noise ISO (ie 200)?
Yeah that is basically the idea. A different read-out path or set of amplifiers is used or it is simply "read slower" which can, in principle, reduce noise. Not something that is inherent to 14 vs 12 bits but more to the way the data is read. If the noise stayed the same and it is in the lower 2 bits of the 12 bits converter, there is no point as the only thing you're doing is more precisely imaging the noise. If however, the noise goes down a little going to the 14-bit readout method, you might get better signal to noise ratios and hence more shadow detail. This is all theory, and if you actually do the test with your camera, you'll see there is no difference in real world photos. The shadows would need to be really deep to see any of this. Basically you need to be boosting exposure by 3 or 4 stops AND applying shadow fill near 100. Not a realistic situation. To see it, you indeed need to be at a situation where the noise floor is significantly low, which means low ISOs on most cameras. At high ISO, there could be a difference because of differences in amplifiers, etc, but in practice that is not the case either on this camera. Other sources of noise drown it out completely.
>Is there no other benefit to post-processing? I'm not clear where the extra 2 bits go; is it increased resolution over the same dynamic range, or is the dynamic range extended? Is this not also a factor in choosing 14 over 12?
There could be some benefit if the noise characteristics were significantly different. Lower noise means higher dynamic range and therefore better capability to extract detail from shadow areas. However, from my testing, in practice this does not happen on the D300. Other cameras might well show higher dynamic range and better detail in shadows at 14 bits. You can see some of this by looking at the dynamic Range charts on DxOmark.com where sensors of different cameras are tested. You need to be significantly above 11 to 12 EV for 14 bit capture to make a difference.
>Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but you have to grab experts when you find some
The easiest thing is to test it. In realistic scenarios, I just cannot see any difference. If you contrive a completely weird case, such as underexposing an entire image by 8 stops, or pushing up shadows by as many stops, you can get into the range where it might make a difference. Those are just not real situations though. -
Photoshop cs6 opens some jpg always in camera raw , how can i avoid it?
Hi
photoshop opens some jpg files 3 (i have a folder with 60 pics raw and jpg ) and it opens always via camera raw
i don't know why
but is there a way to avoid it?
i mean i want to open these 3 files like other jpg files , directly in photoshop
thanks
cheersThere is a setting that you can change that affects whether Camera Raw is the preferred method for opening JPEGs...
In Photoshop, go to the Preferences - Camera Raw configuration entry, and look here:
When set to the middle entry ("Automatically open JPEGs with settings") it will use Camera Raw again by default if you've used it before to open the JPEG. Personally I prefer the Disable setting.

Canon 60D files can't be opened in Bridge (CS4 version); Camera Raw 6.6 has key features missing
I am a Mac user (latest OS) and had been using Camera Raw from Bridge CS4 (part of my Elements 8 bundle) to edit my raw pictures from Canon RebelXTi. I upgraded to a 60D, downloaded the pertinent Camera Raw plug-in, but my raw files still wouldn't open in Bridge. I purchased Elements 10, thinking that would solve all problems, but apparently Bridge and Camera Raw are no longer part of the package! I downloaded the latest Camera Raw patch for Elements 10 (6.6), and I can now open raw files from Photoshop, but the Camera Raw version is not full featured and Bridge still can't open my 60D files. How can I get the full version of Camera Raw back AND have my 60D files opened? I deleted Elements 8, but not Bridge, and I can still open raw files from my Rebel in the earlier full version of Camera Raw. When I check in Elements 10 preferences, only Camera Raw 6.6 shows up, so that should be correct. Any ideas?
The full-featured ACR with Elements loophole has been closed in the newer Mac Elements, I believe. Us PC folks never had Bridge with Elements or haven’t for many versions, already , so have already been limited in RAW processing with Elements. Adobe finally “fixed” the Mac version, too, I think.
For full-featured ACR and Bridge you’re supposed to pay for Photoshop. Perhaps Lightroom, that is half the cost of PS, and has all the adjustments of full-ACR and you could still link PSE as a final editor step of ACR-type adjustments aren’t enough.
An alternative is to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and then they’ll open in older versions of ACR, like the one that came with PSE 8, assuming you can still install that. -
Opening tiff photos in Adobe Camera Raw
I can not open my tiff files / photos in Adobe Camera Raw. I am using CS6 that has been completely updated with all the current updates. I go to Bridge, highlight a tiff thumbnail photo and go up the file drop down menu. The open in raw selection is grayed out and I can not select it. It works fine with jpeg files, and I can open raw files without problems. It just won't work with tiff files. I have gone to preferences and selected the option to open all supported tiff flles but this did not work either.
I have uninstalled Photoshop and Bridge and reinstalled it and updated it all again and it still will not let me open tiff files in Camera Raw.
Any ideas?I am more apt to beleive the issue is with the tif files themselves. Not all tif files are equal. It depends on the compression, bit mode and so forth. Can the tiff files be opened in photoshop? if so, then that just maybe the problem. if not, then the file itself maybe corrupt. But I am leaning towards the settings used when saving the file.

How to open several psdfiles simultaniously in Camera Raw 8.1
I've replaced my Ps 5.5 by Ps 6.
Now I'm having problems with opening psd files in Camera Raw; in Ps 5 I worked from Bridge and could open that type of files from Bridge to ACR.
I just found out how to open it in Photoshop: open as....RAW file.
But I want several psd-files opening in ACR simultaniously, because I want to synchronise them.
That is not possible; I can only select just 1 file.
How to handle this?If you can open even one PSD file in ACR, you should be here answering questions - not asking them.
I am also confused by your Photoshop version numbers. Do you mean CS5.5 and CS6 There was no CS5.5, although there was a Creative Suite CS5.5 which obviously contained Photoshop. Or are you talking about early versions of Photoshop? PS5.5 (Strange Cargo) was released in February 1999 and PS6 (Venus in Furs) in September 2000, but Camera RAW support didn't arrive till version 7.0.1 in August 2002.
ACR can open RAW files, plus JPGs and TIFFs, but not PSD files. -
Mac Pro/Bridge won't open 5DIII imported CR2s in Camera Raw, from desktop. Updates are current. WTF?
I have a Canon 5D Mark III and also just got the Mac Pro. Everything worked fine on my old iMac with CS6. I just put the software on the Mac Pro and made all the updates; none of the CR2 files will open in camera raw. The JPEGs are showing up with thumbnails, and open in photoshop, but the CR2s are not doing anything but showing a bunch of CR2 thumbnail icons and when I try to open one, it gives me this stupid irritating error message (image below). Will someone please help me get camera raw working on my mac pro? I've done everything Adobe's stupid website has told me to do. I can't express in words how infuriating this is. I am starting to hate Adobe. I've spent way too much money for this to be happening.
CS6 shipped with Adobe Camera Raw 7.0.
Camera Raw supported the 5D Mark III from version 7.1.
I suspect that your Camera Raw is not up to date.
You can manually install Camera Raw 8.3 if you download it from

Fail to open image to photoshop in camera raw
after i make all the adjustment in camera raw, when I chick "open image" it fails to open in photoshop.any solution?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
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 (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
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,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

No longer able to view NEF files in Bridge or edit in Camera Raw 4.6
I have found similar questions in various Adobe forums, but I have not located a solution to my problem.
Bridge CS3
Photoshop CS3 Extended
XP
Camera Raw version 4.6.0.30
Nikon D300s
Up until 2 weeks ago I have been copying my NEF files from my CF card via reader, opening Bridge, selecting thumbnail of NEF and opening it in Photoshop CS3. At which point I can process with Camera Raw 4.6.
Now, once new NEF files copied and Bridge opened, I only see NEF icons. When I double click the file, Photoshop opens and a box appears with the following text: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
Upon inspecting the differences between NEF files that I can edit and the new NEF files that I cannot, I notice in the metadata file properties that the application of the successful files is ver. 2.00 and the duds is ver. 1.00.
What "application" is the metadata referring to? I think this may be a Nikon setting, but it would help me understand the problem better if I knew what "application" this is.
I can convert the new NEF files into jpgs using Adobe DNG Converter, but this GREATLY complicates a previously straightforward work flow process.
Thank you for any light that may be shed on vexing dilemma,
KateVery grateful for your response and time.
The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?
Dazed, but not beaten down,
Kate
