Ele. 7 and Pentax Raw

I just bought a Pentax
K-7 DSLR and was wondering why I can't open a Raw file (PEF) in elements 7. I installed Camera Raw 6.1 since I couldn't find Camera Raw 5.4 and I still can't open a raw file.
Thanks for any help
Jack

sorry I installed Camera Raw 5.6 not 6.1
.  6.1 won't install without a adobe application manager, it won't even extract from the RAR file so I can install it.

    Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download  the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

    While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

  • Pentax RAW file photos do not display correcty in LR

    Using Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.5
    Lightroom version 5.7, Raw 8.7
    Camera Pentax K7
    Lightroom does not seem to be able to display Pentax RAW files correctly. Colours are unnatural, muddy and lacking in yellow. Pictures are lacking detail and look muzzy. Preview displays RAW photos fine with correct colour cast and pictures are clear with plenty of detail. Photos processed from RAW to Jpeg using Pentax's digital camera utility, then imported to LR library display perfectly. LR doesn't seem to be able to handle Pentax RAW files, despite being listed as a supported file on Adobe list of compatible file types. Even iPhoto does a better job than LR.
    What;s going on Lightroom people? Do I have to manually activate some sort of plug-in?

    Thanks for all @your suggestions. Switching to Camera Standard does improve the accuracy of the colour balance image a bit. Further jiggling the colour Primarys & Saturations produces a much better result.
    As ssprengel suggested try setting your Penatx K7 to DNG raw file format, which will embed a custom camera profile that LR will use. If your results with LR's default camera calibration settings (i.e. 0) are still unsatisfactory I suggest calibrating (or recalibrating) your display with an i1 Display or Spyder hardware device. I wouldn't even attempt to make fine adjustments to image files on a system with an uncalibrated display–You simply will be "misadjusting" the image to correct for display errors.
    For best results the display should be hardware calibrated to create a monitor profile with 6500 K Color Temperature, 2.2 Gamma, and 120 cd/m2 Luminance. If you've already done this try recalibrating the display using the above suggested settings.
    If your results still look "off-target" after hardware calibration I would suggest investing in a ColorChecker Passport and use it's LR Plugin application to create a custom camera profile. You'll will still need to measure and adjust the LR White Balance (WB) settings, which can be easily done using the ColorChecker Passport neutral patches or its White Balance target.

    As to the muzzy quality of the PEF images v the Jpegs. Even at 100% zoom there is a difference, but I'm now pretty sure that it's due mostly to the camera software sharpening the images when converting from to original PEF to Jpeg. (as suggested by ssprengel in his answer). I have not yet been able to replicate this effect exactly in LR, but I can see that it would be possible to improve this with perseverance.
    LR's Detail panel Sharpening controls will allow you to set whatever capture sharpening level you desire. Good tutorial here on using the ALT/Option key with LR's Sharpening controls:

  • Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 final releases are available

    Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 are now available as final releases on Adobe.com and through the update mechanisms available in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3.  These updates include additional lens profiles support among others. Check out http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/. Following the example of Adobe's collaboration with SIGMA, leading lens manufacturers such as Pentax, Tamron and Zeiss worked closely with Adobe to create some of the profiles.

    Excellent! Now if there were only a way to use my S95 in raw... I guess I'll have to wait another few months

  • Photos not importing raw pef ( pentax raw ) files

    Hi,
    recently updated my 2010 macbook pro to the latest version of mavericks.
    All my previously imported files are there - jpg, and raw, but trying to import some new photos it seems that only jpg's are being imported.
    My pentax k10d is set to save in pef format as they are smaller than the adobe format raw photos.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to import raw?
    The saved photos on the sd card have the same name for both raw and jpg - only the extension is different.
    I've checked in photos to see if there is a raw file 'behind' the jpg but the options for reprocessing raw and 'use raw as original' are greyed out. I can see that all the files are on the sd card in finder - I even tried dragging the raw files to the photos app from finder with no success.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The RAW files of your camera are supported by MacOS X 10.10.x.
    My pentax k10d is set to save in pef format as they are smaller than the adobe format raw photos.
    That may be the problem. For some supported cameras only the uncompressed RAW files are supported.  Have you tried to take a picture with uncompressed RAW? Will that be imported by Photos?

  • Opening Pentax Raw files

    Hi,
    I have iPhoto 5.0.4 on a iMac G5 running OSX 10.4.10. The system has 1 gb of ram.
    Can not seem to open the pentax raw format in iPhoto 5. I tried to update the program with the October 06 update for raw files, which included pentax, but it gage the error message that I must have OSX 10.8.
    Any ideas/
    Also, I am wondering if anyone is also runninga iMac G5 1.8 PPC and has had success with iMovie in iLife '08. The minimum specs say I need a 1.9 processor, which is close...

    Your camera is not supported by any version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) that will work with CS4.  You will never be able to open those files directly in CS4, as there will be no further ACR updates for CS4, ever.
    You have two choices:
    1.-- Upgrade to CS6; or
    2.-- Download the latest version (at least 7.1) of the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter and convert all your raw NEF files to raw DNG files which you can then open in CS4.

  • Aperture and Pentax istDL

    I am disappointed that aperture does not support Pentax istDL raw images. There are no warnings regarding raw images support on the box. After purchasing the camera, I was looking forward to working with raw images and aperture was the recommended program. Since aperture does not support Pentax raw images, how can I continue to use aperture program, since the program cannot be returned? Is there an upgrade available to allow me to use this EXPENSIVE program with my camera?? I someone has a solution to my problem, please let me know.

    Björn,
    congratulations on your G5 (I hope you didn't buy one with the dreaded nVidia 6600 graphics card - from what I read here in the forum, that card makes Aperture real slow).
    As Aperture costs money while iPhoto comes free, you might think about not using Aperture but rather iPhoto. Here's my 2 cents on this subject.
    iPhoto is great if:
    you want to maintain your JPGs, sort them into various albums, print books, view slide shows, and perform some basic image editing on them.
    Aperture is great if:
    you want to maintain your JPGs and RAWs, sort them into various projects (and within those, into Albums), need to quickly and comfortably assign various keywords (from different keyword sets!) to them so you can easily find them later, and perform some basic image editing on them.
    Frankly, if you work with JPGs only, the only advantage (albeit it can be a huge one) is that Aperture allows you projects and albums, and makes keyword assignment and photo finding and evaluation real easy.
    I'm certainly not a pro, but I do prefer the accuracy of the Pentax' RAWfiles over its JPGs, and I always shoot RAW, even though it takes up a lot more space in the camera's card (and my hard disk). Best is if you try this out yourself, using the provided software (I hope that Samsung actually does provide Mac software; if not, there are various RAW converters out there, most of which come with a trial version, and some of which are free).
    Here's how to try:
    Take a long shot of the street you live in, preferably including the pavement. Do this once with the camera set to JPG and once with the camera set to RAW.
    Process the RAW file and then compare it side-by-side with the JPG. Note at which distance from the point where the photo was taken the street pavement will become blurred. This will be way closer to you in the JPG than in the RAW file.
    Somebody somewhere compared digital photos and film. He (or she) said that taking shots in JPG is similar to working with slide film - once the picture was taken, you can't change that much of it to correct for color calibration, low or high light, etc. With RAW files, you have a lot more room for post processing.
    Kind regards,
    Karl

  • Aperture and Pentax Dslr?

    For when Pentax RAW in Aperture? Although the program looks nice, and I usually like working on Apple software, I'll refrain from buying it. As with iPhoto, Apple has again neglected to support Pentax DSLRs in their software. This despite the fact, that many pro and prosumer Pentax users are using a Mac for postprocessing. A bit of consideration would have been welcome
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Your best bet is to request support on the proper feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html - for better or worse this is a users forum...
    In theory support gets added to Aperture and iPhoto at the same time, as it's added at the OS-level not at the application level. If one of iPhoto and Aperture supports the camera then both will.

  • What is the optimum core configuration for a new Mac Pro to process and manipulate very large (80 megapixel) images using PhotoShop and Camera Raw?

    Hello:
    I will be using creative techniques to process and manipulate a large number (hundreds) of very large (80 megapixel) images captured using a medium format digital back (Phase One IQ180).
    Final output will be digital fine art imagery printed using an Epson 11880 at large sizes (up to 60 inches x ?), retaining the highest possible quality and resolution. I will be using Adobe CC PhotoShop and Camera RAW as well as Capture One software. PhotoShop filters will be used extensively.
    The Mac Pro needs to be optimized for the above purpose and be useful for at least five years. I plan to max out all the other options (RAM, graphics cards, storage). Performance is more important than cost.
    The few discussions I have found that mention optimum core configurations seem to lean toward 6 or 8 (but likely are not taking into consideration my need for manipulating a large number of very large files), so I am looking to this foum for opinions.
    Thank you,
    Kent

  • "Edit In" Photoshop CC not working for RAW or DNG files after applying LR 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3

    I just applied the Lightroom 5.3 and Camera Raw 8.3 updates and now am no longer able to open RAW or DNG files into Photoshop CC. When I select a file and choose "Edit In" Photoshop, photoshop will launch, then nothing will happen. After 2 to 5 minutes, an error will popup in Lightroom saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC could not be launched." An error I've never seen before. When I click "Ok", Lightroom will show that it's "preparing a file for editing" in the upper left, it will create and save a psd to disk and in the catalog (another new behavior), then it will open in photoshop. All other file types (jpgs, tiff, psd) seem to work/open fine between applications. No difference if I open photoshop prior to selecting "Edit In". Selecting "Edit In" other applications, like Viveza, work fine.
    I tried first deleting preference files in both applications. No luck. Ditto for plugins. Notta. Eventually I completely uninstalled and fresh installed Photoshop, Lightroom, and Bridge from the cloud. Same deal...can't open raw/dng files into Photoshop.
    I'm at a complete loss, dead in the water, with a mountain of editing work piling on top of me. Kicking myself for applying the upgrades, which I had been delaying for some time to avoid just such a cluster%#$. Ugh.
    I'm on a PC running Windows 7 64bit.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    In the normal situation, LR needs to see a PS installed for it to detect the Edit In PS option is possible, so if you uninstall both, then install PS, first, then LR.  Of course with this release there may be some hiccup that requires installing either one or the other, again, but if you've uninstalled both and are reinstalling both, then install PS, first.

  • Open and converting raw in ps 7

    how can i open and convert raw nef images from my 35mm nikon into pdf using ps 7?  Raw is listed under OPEN as a category but i cannot make it happen.

    You need to first open the NEF file in Photoshop, and if you are really talking about the very old version 7, there is every chance that will be a problem.  I don't even know if Version 7 supported Camera RAW, but I think it did.  So I am having to guess because of the age of the version you are using, but you will probably need to download the free DNG converter.

  • My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.

  • 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?
