Cs6 camera lens blur not using curve ajustment on blur map

So I am doing some camera lens blur to create the 'tiny town' effect. I have completed following this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oleQ9O3kaPk
But the camera lens blur doesn't seem to be taking into account any curve ajustments I make.
It is creating the blur effect as if the curve is not activated (even though it is and I can visibly see my ajustments to the gradient on the shape layer).
Anyone know what the problem is?

It works as it should. Effects referencing otehr layers use the layer source, not the effects result. You need to pre-compose the adjusted depth map.

Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch

Hey Everyone,
I hope that someone can help me. I made alot of edits to about 100 images in Camera Raw ( ie (de)saturation, exposure adjustments, color adjustments,etc).
I wanted to finish up the images ( sharpening, saving) with an action that i created in Photoshop CS6.
However, when i run the action in photoshop, none of the adjustments that I made in camera raw are visible. In other words, the saved images that were output of photoshop batch were essentially the images right out of the camera. What am I doing wrong?
I appreciate your help in advance.
-Andre

The Action is very simple and does not make much sense to me. The open step is not expanded so I can only guess that its and interactive open step inserted into the action using insert menu item and you selected file>open. Other Since your original question is about RAW files I assume your opening a RAW file that has ACR settings previously set. So ACR should open the RAW file you select with its previously set ACR settings. If this is and interactive ACR step you can use Open as Object or Open Image. Since later on in the action I see select layer "Background" you must be using open image for open object would create a smart object layer not a background layer. You action then dupe the background layer and sharpens the duped layer select the background flattens and save as jpeg. The result would be the same without the dupe and flatten. These are needless steps.
I also don't fully understand your original title "Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch". Batch actions would normally not have and open step. Photoshop Automate Batch or a Photoshop script like the Image Processor would normally process open document or open files select in the bridge or pointed to in the batch process dialog. If the action has an open step the Batch Dialog has an option that can be used to override open steps. You did not show your bath dialog setting. I have never user that option and don't know exactly that option works. Particularly in this case where you failed to expand the open step. If it is and Open As Camera RAW all image files in the source location will be open through ACR however JPEG and Tiff files may not have ACR settings and other image file formats other the raw may cause errors. I do not know how the open step was recorded or how a open as camera raw steps are overridden. I'm sure Open recent and open file would open raw file through ACR and other image files formats would be open Photoshop where JPEG and Tiff file may be set to open through ACR. Do all image file in you source image location have ACR setting and the file type set to be open via ACR?

Since version CS6 (also CC) is not using the "change color" white border

Hello,
send you then added a small bug, but the user can very fooled.

Hello Mr. Zimmermann,
thanks for the response. I put it here so that this is a small mistake and knew someday be repaired. I personally find this more troubling issue that I have reported in version CS6: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1246261?tstart=30

After updating Camera Window DC, camera lens will not open

I had been for a few years using with no problems my Powershot SX100 IS with the software provided at the time of purchase on an earlier Macmini. I would connect the power cable and usb cable and was able to take macro photos of coins etc.
I recently switched to a new Macmini and installed the software from CD (solution disk ver. 31.1) that accompanied the PowerShot when purchased. I did notice not everything was able to install as previously. So I updated from the software on your site to include Camera Window 8.9.1.5, but now my PowerShot SX100 IS lens will not open while connected to my Mac.
The software installed is as follows: ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg.gz, psx-upd-3-2-6-28-r8-u03-9l.dmg.gz and cdx-inst-8-9-1-5-u01-9l.dmg.gz.
What can I do?

footlooze,
Because of how new OS 10.9.1 is, there is not a version of CameraWindow DC that is officially compatible yet. I recommend that you continue to visit the website as new updates are made available in the future.

Can JPG Be Opened in Camera Raw if Not Using Bridge?

I love the flexibility that Camera Raw provides even for files that were not created as NEFs and am looking for a way to open a jpg when I'm NOT using Bridge.
Can't seem to find a menu command in Photoshop and using the Finder's "Open With" Contextual Command doesn't show Camera Raw in its menu of applications.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hit the COMMAND key and the O key to open the menu that contains the choices you want.look at the bottom of the dialog box and you will see format. click on the arrows and you will see all your options ,including camera raw,which is the 5th choice.

Lumia 920 front camera lens distortion (not dust)

Hi community,
Have a next issue - all pictures/video from front camera are distorted on top (I can see that upper edge of camera is just covered by glass curve - so the effect I'm getting is quite annoying). I've seen couple of videos on youtube made by 920 front camera - everything is OK there. Please see attached couple of images. Is anybody else having this issue?
Solved!

It was physical defect (so have no idea how your reset would help solving it) Got replacement from my carrier. Glass is flat this time - no curves on edges. So no "lens" distortion effect. Please see photos of the front camera and gorilla glass before and after replacement.

Camera sound when NOT using phone

My husband's Blackberry 9330 has been making what sounds like a camera shutter sound randomly at all hours of the day and night. It doesn't matter if you are holding the phone, have it laying on a shelf, carrying it in your pocket or even have the phone sounds muted. Have gone through all the sound effects and the one we are hearing isn't even listed and it is a different sound then when you take a picture with the phone's camera. Help!! It's starting to drive us nuts!!

Turning the phone off and back on again or pulling the battery out while the phone is on doesn't work either

Crummy Camera Lens Blur CS6

The Camera Lens Blur effect that came with AE CS 5.5 and CS 6 doesn't look nearly as good as the old Lens Blur effect that came with CS 5; it's pretty much unusable for my purposes. Foreground elements that should be sharp render sharp, but with a blurry halo around them. The old Camera Lens blur does not exhibit this behavior, nor the Frischluft Depth of Field plugin.
Here's an image showing the depth map and how the three plugins render it:
CameraLensBlur.png
The images are composited from 16-bit PNGs rendered out of Cinema 4D. There's a nasty halo visible around the foreground particle in the upper left in the CS6 Camera Lens Blur version. I saved the old Lens Blur effect as a preset out of a CS5 project and am, fortunately, still able to use that approach in CS6 since the "improved" version of the plugin looks pretty crummy (I skipped AE CS5.5). As a test I installed the demo of Frishluft's Lenscare plugins, and after inverting the depth buffer in the plugin I got a good result.
The "new" Camera Lens Blur is acting like the Compound Blur effect. Foreground elements appear sharp but with a blurry halo since the entire "background" is being blurred, creating a blurred ghost of the foreground element. The old Lens Blur effect was very slow, but it did work.
Anyone know how to make this new "improved" Camera Lens Blur look like the other plugins? I've posted a zipped file with the image and depth map in a small AE CS6 project here if anyone here would care to check my settings. Maybe I'm missing somthing.

It's been now more than 2 years now that Shawn referred to you this "bug". Thing that I doubt to be a bug. However, after 2 years now, and being on CC 2014.2, this is still ugly when using a depth map. The bokeh is nice, I give you that. But you clearly can't use it with a Dmap. I know it's pretty useless to tell you things that you already know, either make a bug report. It's clear now that it won't get any update.
And as someone here said, if you can't/don't wonna fix it, why can't you simply pack the old Lens Blur from CS5 as an obsolete effect ? Or let's go crazy, just buy the Frischluft (Dat name...) blur which works and pack it.
I would love, of course, to hear from you that you're on it and that a new release is coming soon... Anyway.
Just to remind you, here some pictures of what we are experiencing with your Lens Blur using a depth map.
Halo around the lens on the middle until the screw top right... and cannot be fixed by any way with the focal distance. But yes, the bokeh is really nice.
And here with the Frischluft
It simply works.
You could say then, why am I not buying it ? I'm considering it a lot now.

HT201401 Camera lens on iPhone 4 does not open and nothing is visible, although the camera functions normally via MMS only.

The virtual camera lens on my iPhone 4 stays closed when accessing the camera via the camera application. If I use the camera via the MMS messaging feature the camera will operate properly and save any picture to the camera roll.
So, there does not seem to be a hardware problem. The camera works fine except when I use the camera application itself.
I've reset the phone and performed a restore via iTunes, the camera will usually operate normally for a short period and then revert to a state where the camera lens will not open unless accessed by a third party app or via the MMS application.
I deleted any third party applications from the phone just in case there was a conflict, this did not help, the lens remains closed unless accessed by the messaging application or any other third party application.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a very frustrating problem.

Since Reset is not helping, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. If this does not fix problem, consider replacing camera or entire iPhone.

Blur Gallery - Using Masks

I have been working with the blur gallery using path and spin blur. After adding the blur, I open a mask to adjust the amount of the effect in specific areas. With a black brush, the mask will remove the effect, but with a white brush, it will not put the effect back, as it should with a mask. Has anyone else noticed this? Radial blur does the same thing.

You nailed it. I was in multiply blend mode. I changed it to normal and the mask works normally. Problem solved, thank you.

MBP not using all memory while rendering video

Hey,
When I do rendering in Adobe Premiere Por CS6, my Mac is not using all the available RAM: 2773 MB used....5416 MB free
Memory Pages:
                              1658 MB active....1099 MB wired
                              5420 MB inactive....11.2 MB free
it also says that:       3 swap files at peak usage
                               256 MB total swap space (20 MB used)
350 GB free storage space( total 750 GB)
I have a MBP (OS x Lion) late 2011 with i7 2.8 GHz and 8 GB RAM
Adobe Premiere Pro is set to use 6.5 GB of RAM but not even while working in the programme it has ever used that much of memory.
During rendering, it is the only app running, except for Google Chrome.
If this info is not enough, just ask what do you need to know...
PLEASE HELP, rendering takes forever.
Thanks,
kund

You never said what model Mac you have. Since this is the MacBook Pro forum, I assume you have some version of the MBP. 390% CPU would indicate CPU-boundedness for a quad-core CPU without active hyperthreading, or a dual-core CPU with hyperthreading active.
Given the high CPU usage and the low swap usage, it seems unlikely that memory usage is the problem, but I'm not a Premiere Pro user, so I couldn't guess what it.
You might try posting your question in an Adobe forum for Premiere Pro.

Why my ipad 4 wifi only can't use full funtion of apple map?

Hi, i had an ipad4,but i can not use full funtion of apple map .it mean when i use gps navigation it do not speak ,it only bold the road you set .that 's it. So please someone help me out.or gps only work on wifi + cellurlar

Only the cellular iPads have a built-in GPS chip, the wifi-only models don't. There are some external GPS units that apparently work with it e.g. Bad Elf GPS.

DNG Conversion Of Sony ARW Not Carrying Over In Camera Lens Corrections

One of the great features of the Sony NEX-7 is that the NEX-7 makes automatic lens corrections for vignetting, chromatic aberration and distortion problems. These corrections are written to the file and the preview. However, when converting these images from ARW to DNG the correction data seems to be lost, and the images revert to their uncorrected state. This requires all images to then be re corrected with the Adobe lens profiles, which is both tedious, an extra step, and also seems to produce results that are somewhat less optimal than the original corrections made by the camera.
Should not the ACR Converter and Lightroom retain the lens corrections made by the camera?

A Tonal wrote:
This is one of those confusing issues where the way Sony describes the feature makes it sound as though it's part of the ARW format, and the way Adobe describe ACR and DNG makes it sound like this would be one of those manufacturer specific details that DNG is supposed to convert into a the Adobe format.
Yes, that might be so. It's similar with the manual of my Nikon D600. Nowhere does it say explicitly that all these adjustments (including lens correction, Active D-Lighting, etc) work only for the JPGs. And it cannot be otherwise.
A Raw image is not defined yet, not written in pixels yet, heck it is not even an image.
The Raw image is only affected by the exposure, that's pretty much the only thing. Even White Balance is nothing but a metadata tag that - luckily - is read by Lr.
A DNG is Adobe's answer to the various Raw formats. But it is designed to behave like a Raw image. Therefore you cannot expect that camera settings that affect JPGs only carry over to DNGs.
A Tonal wrote:
There are so many features on cameras that are only supported with JPG output that it almost makes it not wroth bothering with RAW, as by the time you get to the end of the process, with all the extra steps and work involved in handling RAW, you pretty much wind up with something that looks like a JPG anyway, and you had to give up using some of the camera's features to use RAW.
This shows that you don't understand what Raw is and what its advantages over JPG are.
I would recommend that you educate yourself about the advantages of Raw. Your photography would benefit from this, believe me.
Google "Why should I shot Raw?" and you will find lots of good webpages.
Finally, Raw shooting is much simpler than shooting JPGs where you always have to fiddle with the virtual 100s of different settings for JPGs.
What do you have Lr for? In Lr you can adjust your Raw image by looking at it on a large calibrated monitor, whereas for the settings in your camera you have to rely on a 3" monitor - at best.
Make your life simpler and your photography better: Shoot Raw.
