Elements 6 Freezes with RAW images

I am about at my wits end here. My computer is about 3 years old, but has all the required minimum's necessary to run Elements. I've never had a problem with it until recently when I started shooting in RAW. Elements will show images imported as broken links and will freeze up. I've done every update possible, have tried repairing elements issues, uninstalled & reinstalled, and am still having issues.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Thanks.

It sounds like you may have encountered a known bug with how the PSE 6 Organizer handles raw images. If deleting the Organizer preferences doesn't work, then take a look at this tech note:

This bug is fixed in PSE 7.

Photoshop Elements Help | Processing camera raw image files

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/processing-camera-raw-image-files.html

When I selected "Save Image" there is an option to select the size of the JPEG preview. Is there anyway to extract the JPEG and does the JPEG contain the adjustments that were made to the Raw image?
The "Save image" command just saves (really converts) the original raw into another raw format : the DNG format created by Adobe to get a universal raw format instead of a specific raw format for each camera in the range of each camera manufacters... Using that feature is your choice.
And what you see in the bottom line : 8 bits or 16 bits has nothing to do with a preview, it is the choice of 'color depth' for the image the converters sends to the editor.
So, your choice is either :
- to click 'Done' which saves the settings of your conversion (white balance, exposure, clarity...) to a very small 'sidecar' file of the xmp type
- to 'Open' in the editor where you can work with all features of the editor (which include saving the output file in any format - jpeg - psd - tiff - png...

How do I get Photoshop elements 9 to open RAW images from my Canon g16?

How do I get elemente 9 to open RAW images from Canon G 16?

Hi,
You will need either use the Canon software to convert the CR2 files to TIF files or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files. Then import the TIF or DNG files into PSE 9.
You could update to PSE 12 to avoid the conversions.

Working with RAW images without lens profile?

Does it make sense to work on RAW images if no lens profile exist for the used specific lens?
I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion.
How did you work with RAW images?

There are many advantages to using RAW, so yes it makes sense to work on RAW images even if no profile exists for the lens.
I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion.
How did you work with RAW images?
You can create your own lens profiles. Or you can manually adjust each image. Or you can set up presets for different focal lengths. There's a lot of ways to go.

Adobe Colour Issues with RAW images

Hi,
I have had Photoshop for a long while now and i have a problem. When looking at RAW images they have a green hue on the shadows (this is when previewing them in Bridge, Photoshop and Camera RAW). This problem seems to be solved by minimizing the window and then making it fullscreen again a few seconds later. How ever after this, if i switch to another image and back the green cast is there in the shadows.
If I print screen it you can see the problems in any other image editor along side a screen show of the "solved" image.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I've added in a screen shot for comparrison.
Thanks
Mark
#CS5 Extended 12.0.4
P.s. There are much worse images i can upload if people want more clarification or even just to see more of the problem.

You're saying both of these images were captured from the screen of Photoshop before and after doing your workaround?
You likely have a display driver problem if so. You may want to check the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they offer an update for your hardware and OS. Caveat: If you have an ATI card, consider installing older version 11.7 instead of Catalyst 11.8 - I've seen problems with the latter.
Out of curiosity, is your monitor calibrated and profiled? If not, what color profile do you have associated with it at the OS level?
For that matter, what OS are you running?

Photoshop Elements 7 and Panasonic Raw images

I recently bought a Panasonic Luminex partly in order to shoot RAW images. My research told me that Photoshop Elements 6 and above would accept it. My PE 7 is telling me, however, that it cannot open the image because it is the wrong kind of file. Any guidance?

What model of Panosonic Lumix is it?
Unless it's Lumix DMC-GH1, then in all likelihood, you'll need to use the 8.2 dng converter
to convert your lumix camera raw files to dng copies, which then pse 7 should open.

IPad iOS 4.3.1 problems with raw images after upgrading

Hi all
I recently updated my iPad to iOS 4.3. Since then, I could not view and edit Raw images imported with camera kit although It shows a low res/ low size preview
I'm also experiencing general troubles with viewing some jpeg attached to email.
Any idea?
Thank you!
Antonio

Actually it does. It imports them And once they Are innate uploaded images can be viewed full screen. But if opened with, say, Photogene, iPad shows only a very small and low res thumbnail....

Working with RAW-Image-Sequences: keyframing parameters of the camera-raw editor

Hey guys,
is it, somehow, possible, to set keyframes for the parameters of the camera-raw editor, when I work with a raw-image-sequence?
I would like to keyframe the white balance and exposure for a timelapse shot in raw-images.
Maybe there's a trick with expressions?
Thanks for your help.
Best,
Paul

ok, thank you!
That is what i was thinking, but know i know it for sure...

Will Elements 13 open my raw images on sony rx100mk2?

I currently have elements 11 but need to use the adobe dng converter to open raw images from my sony rx100mk2. If i upgrade to elements 13 will it open these raw files without needing the dog converter ?@

You need PSE12 or preferably PSE13 for your camera. But it is possible to download and install the free 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 8.7.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Can't use layers with RAW images

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 and I can't use layers on RAW format images. I'm thinking I must have something set incorrectly. They open in the RAW adjustment window but when I select Open all the layer options are just greyed out and unavailable.
Any ideas?

In the camera raw dialog you probably have the Bit Depth set to 16 bits/channel.
Change the Bit Depth to 8 bits/channel
(bottom middle of camera raw dialog where is says Depth)
You can also change the bit depth once in photoshop elements 10 by going to Image>Mode and clicking on 8 bits/channel

Photoshop CS2 will not work with RAW images in the Minolta DimAge A2. It use to work fine

I have used Photoshop CS 2 with my DimAge A2 for over 5 years in the RAW format. Now it will not work with RAW with my camera. I am using Vista 64.Any answers ? Thanks

It would seem to me that you have probably had to reinstall Photoshop CS 2. If that is the case, then you should download and install Camera Raw 3.7. The version that was on your install disk was updated several times. And one of those updates probably included support for your camera. Install ACR 3.7 and see if that helps.

Working with RAW images

Hi all
I'm very new to Aperture, but not so new to editing digital photographs. Previously I used Photoshop entirely and had my own kind of manual workflow. But that was very slow going taking months to edit a small amount of photo's and distributing them to the web etc...
When I shoot I always do so in RAW, mainly because a lot of my photography is quick sports so there is no opportunities to retake. I do this because it means I've got the full raw data so I can actually adjust items properly without loss of quality.
My question really, is if I import RAW images into Aperture and then make adjustments, are those adjustments made to the full RAW data, or does Aperture create a version from the master that updates are made to?
Maybe this isn't actually relevant, Im not sure, but I just want to be confident that my adjustments are being made to the full RAW data mainly.
Thanks for any help and apologies if this question seems silly, but photo asset/workflow management is new to me.
Chris

Welcome to Aperture, Chris (or should I say Evil Homer?),
Your adjustments are always made to the source of your versions, which is a RAW master in your case. You won't be losing any accuracy or quality by using Aperture and applying adjustments to your RAW photos. Your question is an excellent question from someone who truly cares about the quality of his photos; definitely relevant.
To expand a little more, you are always working on a version. Everything you see in Aperture is a version. Most of them have no adjustments applied, though, so the version is rendered to look exactly like the master. When you make changes to a version, Aperture will re-render that version by applying all your adjustments to the master.

Is CS3 better for working with RAW images than Elements 6?

Hi all,
I am trying to find out if it is worth buying CS3 in stead of elements 6. Surprisingly, nobody has been able to tell me what the difference exactly is.
The best I got so far was that elements is a trimmed down version of CS3 but what more can I do with CS3?
As I am in England, CS3 would cost me about $1100, as opposed to $650 in the US, which is a bit much if you don’t know exactly what you get for that amount.
It says something on the adobe features section about BETTER raw processing, but not compared to what. Old version? Other software? Better than nothing?
I will be running it under XP, and the only use will be to optimise images from a digital camera in RAW format, 90%, and a jpeg (10)%, partially for web use, partially for prints.
The most common things are:
Correcting exposure when pics are unevenly lit.
Correcting color temperature.
Removing unwanted parts of a picture e.g. somebody stepping into the picture, advertising signs or copyrighted material.
Altering color of small parts of an image like that of a single flower in a bouquet.
Removing blemishes in portraits.
The photos will always stay single photos, I can not foresee any use for slide shows, animations, video or anything related.
From what I have been able to find out so far, it seems that Elements 6 will do all this and I don’t need to spend the extra $1000, or should I?

I have not used Photoshop Elements since version 2.0. In that version it was very similar to Photoshop as far as how the interface was designed. There were a few key elements that were missing such as the Curve adjustment. It is my understanding that there is a free download available from a third party source that will provide that capability.
As far as Camera Raw is concerned, you only have the adjustments that are on the basic panel and the details panel. That means you don't have all of the hue/saturation/luminance adjustments, or lens correction, or the capability to create presets, or to calibrate ACR specifically for your camera. As I understand it, it is not possible to load multiple images into ACR so that you can apply changes to all of them at once. And I don't believe you have the option of working in ACR in 16-bit mode.
With Photoshop Elements it is not possible to record actions to enable you to do batch processing of your images. What you have is a good quality basic single image photo editor.
I cannot tell you which to purchase. I don't know what you are accustomed to, nor do I fully understand your expectations. There are trial versions of both programs that you can download and try for 30 days to see what you think. They are fully functioning programs for that trial period, which should be ample time for you to determine which program will give you the most value.
