Density Difference from Capture One to Camera Raw

In Capture One 6.3.4, my backgrounds read 253-255. When I open the RAW file in Camera RAW 7.1, the background reads 241-245. Profile is the same (Adobe RGB). Suggestions to have the file read the same in Camera RAW? Thanks.

I believe its b/c Capture One and Camera Raw have different color profiles for the same cameras. So the same eyedropper spot in one wouldn't match the other. Color profiles for the specific camera not Adobe 1998, sRGB, etc. I prefer Capture One over Camera Raw because of the camera profiles from Phase One - I feel that they are a much better starting point for processing images. The color feels more natural to me. Why are you viewing raw files in both applications?

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

Why can't I send older RAW files from iPhoto to Adobe Camera RAW?

I have a 20" Intel iMac (OS X 10.5.8) and use iPhoto '09 (Version 8.1.2) for storing and organizing the digital images produced by my Nikon D200 and D700 cameras. When I wish to edit a photo I right click on the image and select Edit in External Editor. The external editor is Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.
In iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced for RAW Photos I have checked "Use RAW when using external editor." Recently I successfully sent new D200 and D700 RAW images from iPhoto to PSE 6 for conversion by Adobe Camera RAW (Version 5.4.0.57). However, I was not successful in attempting to do the same thing with older D200 RAW images taken more than three years ago. In all cases what showed up in ACR were JPEGs rather than the RAW images. I don't understand why this is happening. What is needed to resolve this issue? Any remedial information will be appreciated.

Well all of that tells us that the Library is sound and not corrupt - which is good news.
Now the question would seem to be 'Why isn't iPhoto respecting the settings you've chosen in the Preferences?"
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Is 5d mark II raw (CR2) file different from CR2 file from 5d? Adobe Camera Raw error on mk II not 5d

I use Photoshop Camera Raw plugin (Adobe) to preprocess color, then finish image preparation in Photoshop. Never a problem opening CR2 files, usually from my own 5d camera. But a customer sent a few CR2 files that won't open (error says it is wrong kind of document). So far no explanation or fixes from Photoshop users... thought I would ask the Canon experts. Why would CR2 file from 5d mk II fail but CR2 files from 5d all open ok?
Still using Photoshop CS2, and the Camera Raw plugin is v 3.7. I really want to continue this workflow (works for me), prefer not to experiment with dpp or other possibilities. Not ready to upgrade yet to Photoshop CS6.
Solved!

I have a photographer friend who has used Photoshop for years and basically never used anything else. He bought his 5D III from a store which was offering a free copy of Lightroom with the purchase. He didn't buy because of the incentive... he bought his camera and a copy of Lightroom came with it. He put it on the shelf to collect dust.
One day we're out shooting and somehow get onto the topic of how he's processing his images and I mention Lightroom to him (I use Aperture, but that's for Mac users only -- he's on a PC). He tells me has it... it's on the shelf... he never installed it.
I gave him my "are you crazy" look and then proceeded to tell him why he needs to learn to use Lightroom. He now pretty much just uses Lightroom and is much happier for it.
I'll sum up (again... I'm an Aperture user but Lightroom was designed to fend off Apple from taking over in photography.)
Photoshop is NOT made for photographers. It's made for people working in graphics arts and publishing, etc.
Apple, recognizing that the tool was awkward for photography made a tool targeted specifically at professional photographers...and Aperture was born. Adobe, seeing this as the very real threat that it is, realized they'd better get busy. Adobe produced Lightroom. Both are targeted to photographers and NOT to those in graphics arts or publishing.
I think of Aperture and LIghtroom as being outstanding at image management for large collections of photos and also outstanding when you come back to your office with cards loaded with images that now all need to be processed.
This is a painful long and tedius task of opening things image by image in Photoshop.... but a breeze to do in Aperture or Lightroom. You don't actually open images... you import the entire contents of the card into your library and now you can breeze through them apply adjustments as needed. Some types of global adjustments such as "white balance" can be applied to every image in the shoot as long as it was taken in the same lighting. No need to do that image by image... you adjust one, then select all the other images shot in the same light and tell it to apply the same adjustments. Don't try that in Photoshop... you'll injure yourself.
Lastly... Photoshop is a "destructive" editior. You can take precautions to try to make sure you don't actually edit any original data, but the tool WILL let you change original data if you aren't careful. Aperture and Lightroom are non-destructive by their very nature.
I find that with Aperture or Lightroom that I still do need to open an image in Photoshop. Aperture and Lightroom can't do everything. They do not, for example, allow you to create composit images by combining elements of multiple other images. But I will say it's not often that I need to open something in Photoshop anymore.
If you are a photographer and you've been using Photoshop because that's what you know... you _really_ need to evaluate one of the tools which were actually intended for use by photographers.

Nikon Capture NX or Camera Raw

Using Nikon Capture NX, Camera Raw best for photos?

Indeed different profiles have different ways of handling things, especially at the extremes - especially when one or more channels is clipped.
In addition to comparing profile behavior, consider the point curve in ACR - @Lr4 we can now reshape the curves on a channel by channel basis, and that way fix many of these types of problems - admittedly such changes may need to be done uniquely for each photo.
And of course if (Adobe Standard) profile needs a tweak for handling such end cases, Adobe may be open to that... - if not for older cameras (in which case such a tweak might change the appearance of already-edited photos), at least for newer ones.

What is the difference between LR Develop and Camera Raw?

I am new to LR, but have been using PS for some time. My old work flow was to shoot in RAW transfer to my computer HD then process first in Camera Raw and do final adjustments in PS, then save back to the computer HD.
So far I like LR, which came as a bundle with my subscription to PS CC. But I'm confused about LR's proper place in the workflow.
So a few questions.
Is LR Develop the equivalent of Camera Raw? If it is then can it substitute Camera Raw?
If not then should I process first in LR Develop before going to Camera Raw? I like being able to apply adjustments to multiple photos in a shoot, but I still want the power of Camera Raw for some things, unless LR Develop does that better.
So I'm wondering what the best work flow is.
Is it Shoot>LR>Develop>Camera Raw>PS>Save back to LR.
Or is it Shoot>LR>Camera Raw>LR Develop>PS>Save back to LR. (This one seems very difficult)
Hoping to end my confusion,
Bob Gall

Is LR Develop the equivalent of Camera Raw?
The image processing algorithms are identical.
If it is then can it substitute Camera Raw?
Yes, if you are going to use LR
So I'm wondering what the best work flow is.
Do as much development work as possible in Lightroom. Only if you need additional editing power (that Lightroom doesn't have) would you choose to send the photo to Photoshop. In this case, you would use the Lightroom command: right-cilck on the photo and choose Edit In... https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/open-lightroom-photos-external-applications.html#op en_photos_in_photoshop
This sends a copy of your edited image to Photoshop for whatever you want to do there. Once completed in Photoshop, you would do a SAVE (not Save As) in Photoshop for Lightroom to recognize the edits done in Photoshop.
You may (or may not) find that certain photos don't even need Photoshop.
Camera Raw is not needed in this workflow.

Can I edit my RAW files from Aperture in Adobe Camera Raw in CS5?

I like Aperture for organizing my files and doing simple adjustments. I purchased CS5 and will be taking a class to learn more complex editing. Is there a way to store my photos in Aperture and get them into CS5's Camera Raw in the RAW format? When I try to do that they are tiff or jpg.

In the preferences you are able to select which file type you would like to export to an external editor, the assumption is that you have made basic corrections and accept the RAW processing in Aperture so want to work with a tif or jpeg.
If you are wanting to start from you camera RAW file, ie no processing, you will need to actually export the master file and work from it.

Random problem opening RAW images from I-photo into Camera Raw 4.1

Hi there, sometimes when I double click an RAW .NEF image in i-photo it opens into the Camera Raw adjustement window and sometimes not. This is shots from the same shoot and they're all definitely .NEF files. The shots that have already opened always open in the CR window and the others don't.
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy!
I'm running Photoshop CS3 on a quad core intel Mac.
Many thanks

Max,
Very few people here use iPhoto, if any.

Problem going from Lightroom 3 to Camera Raw 4.1

I edit in LR3 then export to the original folder. When I open the edited photo in Camera Raw it is completely different. Not only is it different but it looks terrible. I'm making sure that when I export it from Lightroom that I have the correct version of Camera Raw chosen so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Lightroom 3 is using the equivalent of ACR 6.x so ACR 4.1 cannot use the develop settings from that version of LR.
Lightroom 1 is fully compatible with PS CS3 ACR 4.x

Opening raw files from LR to Photoshop camera Raw

I have been trying to open a RAW Dng. file from Lightroom into Adobe PS Camera Raw, but I keep getting a message that says, This version of LR may require te PS camera raaw plug-in version 8.1 for full compatibility. I have downloaded camera raw plug-in 8.1, but I am still getting this message. Plese help!
Meghan

The raw processing in LR5 corresponds with the ACR 8.1 plug-in for PS, which the message is telling you.
ACR 8.1 is only compatible with either PS-CS6 (upgrade) or PS-CC (subscription), so to “sync them” you need to purchase an upgrade to PS-CS6 or purchase a monthly subscription to PS-CC which is apparently on sale until the end of the month.

How do I separate a new calendar app from the one that came with ipad, so entries only are made in new app?

How do I separate the iPad's own generic calendar app from a calendar app I purchased, so that the entries I put into the new app don't cross over to the generic app? Also, whenever changing over to a new calendar app, is it always possible to transfer all data from the old to the new or is there a limit on quantity or time frame ever? Does it depend on the app?

Cloning And Backup Tools
A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.
To copy files from one hard drive to another hard drive you can use:

Fuji X-Pro 1 RAW captures on iMac convert from color to monochrome on Bridge CS6/CC; other camera RAW captures are fine.

Using an admittedly long in the tooth iMac--dual core, 8GB RAM, etc--this problem recently emerged. Had no trouble with Fuji RAW captures from January until about three weeks ago. I haven't tried reinstalling anything and will try Aperture tonight. BTW, I've been having a lot of issues with Lightrrom, especially the SBBOD in develop mode.

Can't check with Mavericks because I'm still on 10.8.5, however I can't say I heard this behavior before.
Can you select a file that is changed with -0.95 but does not show the result and with right mouse click menu choose purge cache for selection, does that make a difference?
What version of Camera Raw are you using and What Canon are you using.

Teathered Capture Module or Capture One Raw Data Importer

In many commerical professional studios people like to use Capture One Pro in a teathered environment because it works with most cameras, its got an interface that is productive as images stream in (ie- updating white balance, checking focus, checking color number exposure thresholds, overlaying comps) and it's much faster at loading previews than capturing into a hot folder situation like Lightroom has it now. All in all, Capture One is better for live capture teathered environments.
There is a giant problem with capture one, that is that the raw image data created through adjustments in capture one is propietary to capture one and can't be imported into Lightroom for archiving without losing that valuable data. Therefore, i'm either requesting that you either create a Capture Module that is as quick, effiecent and has all the productive tools that capture one has so that we can ditch the glitchy program or create a way to import raw files from capture one to lightroom and maintain the same image appearance.

I agree, C1 pro 5 has made leaps and bounds in the last few years from 3.7. I like it as a capture program but not as a method for organizing and archiving my images. I wish the two could communicate better in a fashion that doesn't require a work around. It's a real workflow issue.
