Has anybody used the Camera RAW filter on an OpenEXR, HDR or similar floating point color image?

I often work on floating point images rendered out of 3ds Max, specifically OpenEXRs, and I have been lately using the Camera RAW filter to do some image adjustments. There is one problem though, the float image does not load correctly into Camera RAW. It looks slightly over-exposed when loaded and it is nearly impossible to get it back to "scratch". Is Camera RAW not fully float capable? Camera RAW is a drunkard compositor's dream when doing color corrections on a floating point image, especially an image rendered out of a 3D application such as 3ds Max or Maya. Any thoughts?

For what it's worth I have seen this going back a loooong time.  I've posted on the subject as well and have never gotten a solid answer.  It just appears as though Photoshop considers it "already open, so no need to open it twice".  I believe an uninitialized variable could be involved, since it's intermittent.
I have found a couple of choices for workarounds or workflow changes...
1.  You can save the first-opened document opened (e.g., as  a .PSD) somewhere.  Then reopening the raw file will always open a second document.
2.  You could consider opening the raw file just once, duplicating it as a second layer, then use Camera Raw as a filter.  Obviously that doesn't avail Camera Raw of the raw data, but its usefulness depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

  • Where can I find the Camera Raw Filter in CS6?

    I would like to know where I can find the camera raw filter in Photoshop CS6 Student Version? I used the PS CC testversion and really liked working with this filter and miss it now. Can anyone help me?

    The Camera Raw filter isn't in Photoshop CS6. That is one of the new features that has been added to Photoshop CC. Photoshop CS6 is not going to have any enhancements added to it. The development cycle is finished for CS6.

  • In the camera raw filter I do not have the radial gradient filter

    Using Windows, the camera raw filter version is 8.4.0.199.  There is no radial gradient filter icon, nor radial filter.  The gradient filter available will not convert to the radial filter.  Why?

    CS6 is not CC, not by a long shot.
    CS6 is Photoshop 13.x, while CC is Photoshop 14.x.  They're one major release apart.
    If you're seeing it as a true Filter, then you're looking at Photoshop 14.x, aka Photoshop CC.

  • Has anybody used the microsoft JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000?

    Hi,
    Has anybody used the JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000 downloadable from the
    microsoft website?When I try using it with WL 6.1 sp1 it says it can't load the
    driver.I try viewing the class file from the jar file using the jar utility it
    gives an unknown Zip format error.Anybody has any solution for this ?If anybody
    has managed to work with this microsoft driver i will be grateful if they provide
    me with a solution.
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    You may want to download the driver again and install it again.
    heres a sample xml tag in the config.xml:
    <JDBCConnectionPool
    DriverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
    InitialCapacity="3" MaxCapacity="12" Name="MSpool"
    Password="{3DES}fUz1bxR0zDg=" Properties="user=uid"
    Targets="myserver"
    URL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://mydbserver:1433"/>
    ensure that you follow the instructions from Microsoft. For using 2000
    driver you will need to have
    Install_dir/lib/msbase.jar and Install_dir/lib/msutil.jar in addition to
    Install_dir/lib/mssqlserver.jar in the CLASSPATH.

  • Has anybody used the transaction RSUOM in 2004s?

    Hello
    Has anybody used the transaction RSUOM in 2004s?
    Documentation found on help.sap.com states that this transaction can help dealing with alternate unit of measure conversion ("equivalent to currency conversion")
    I have created a quantity conversion type in RSUOM but I have not found how to use it - is it in the update rules or the Bex or somewhere else.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Ioan

    Hello Ioan,
    this functionality corresponds to currency conversion (and is implemented with a similar concept "conversion type"). Both unit conversions within one dimension (e.g. kg -> g) and e.g. material dependent conversions (e.g. kg -> palettes) are supported.
    Currently the conversion can be used within the new transformations and within a planning function. Interactive conversion in query/Bex is not yet supported.

  • Where has Adobe HIDDEN the Camera RAW 8.6 update (again!)?

    Starting with the 8.5 release, my CS6 version of Camera RAW no longer updates automatically. Nor can I find it anywhere in the update download section of Adobe's website. I just happened to find an obscure link to the 8.5 update after doing a ton of searches last June.
    Now, the same problem exists with Camera RAW 8.6! I can get the DNG converter but it does not include Camera RAW 8.6. If I check for updates using Bridge or Photoshop, I'm told everything is up to date.
    Please give me a SPECIFIC URL where I can download Camera Raw 8.6 for the Mac OS.

    1.— I mentioned in my original note that Help >> Check for Updates says everything is up to date on my system in both Bridge and Photoshop.
    2.— Also, I mentioned that I grabbed the DNG update today. I know the webpage says it contains Camera Raw, but it doesn't. If I load a RAW image into CR, CR says it's at version 8.5.
    3.—There were many other users who had this problem with 8.5, too. I beginning to think Adobe doesn't really care for users who haven't joined the CC bandwagon.
    1.— That just means your install is messed up.  It works on any properly maintained system I've tried so far.  Is Photoshop updated to CS6 13.0.6?
    2.— After downloading, did you decompress the download and mounted the .dmg file on your desktop AND ACTUALLY installed the new ACR plug-in?  It DOES NOT magically get installed, you know.
    3.— You are wrong.  Adobe doesn't care much about any of their customers, whether subscribed to the Cash Cow or not.
    4.— You are not addressing Adobe in these user forums, so drop that attitude.  Your troubles are caused by user error and inexperience.

  • Using the Camera RAW interface for JPEG images

    I realize JPEG's don't have the information level of RAW files, but does the convenience and speed of the RAW interface not make it worth using rather then going to the usual tools like Levels and Hue/Saturation? I discovered that you can open JPEG images in the RAW interface by choosing File > Open As...and selecting "Camera RAW" as the file format. Here you can not only use the RAW interface but also change the image to 16-bits. I also understand that upscaling an image from 8 to 16-bits doesn't add more information, but would working on it in the RAW interface at 16-bits not produce more subtle changes and give you more control over the outcome.
    Looking forward to some intelligent feedback.
    Deep Woods

    From a mathematical perspective, it would seem that using the extra information in the up-sampling interpolation calculations would be better. The question is whether or not the extra digits in the calculation would produce a difference in the image. I suspect that it would be quite image dependent. Easy enough to test, with the right kind of image, whatever that is?

  • Has anybody used the WInterface for "on top" functionality successfully?

    Dear Everyone,
    This is a question for anybody who has used the WInterface classes and .dll file. I have downloaded the WInterface.zip file and have extracted it. I have also used the provided classes (particularly WInterface.java) and placed the .dll on the "java.library.path".
    As my path points at C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin I placed the .dll file into this ...\bin directory. However I have not gained success with any attempts to use these classes. Programs compile fine, however when any attempt is made to refer to the methods in the WInterface an exception is raised.
    The type of exception is UnsatisfiedLinkException. I know this to mean that the JVM cannot find the .dll (in this case) being refered to. However I am sure that the file is in a directory on the class path.
    Somebody out there, amongst you guys, knows how to use the WInterface.
    If you are that somebody please explain to me how you achieved the "always on top" functionality that WInterface provides.
    Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks

    Sorry to bump this old post, but I have the same problem. Can someone show me a simple example of how to use WInterface from including it, to compiling it, and executing it?
    Thanks
    Jon

    I just confirmed it is a bug in Visual Studio 2013.  Using Visual Studio 2010 (VS10) I have no problems creating a database.  The workaround in VS 2013 is to create a database in VS10, store it on localhost, import it into your Solution using
    SQL Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2013, then you can create an Entity Data (ADO.NET / EF) that connects to the database.  But even this step is a bit of a problem, in that you must first create an empty Entity Data, then populate it by connecting to
    an existing database, which would be the database you imported from VS10.  If you try and connect the Entity Data directly to the database using the Entity Data Model Wizard, nothing seems to happen.  So first create an Entity Data model (empty),
    then connect it to the database you have created with a New Connection using the built in Visual Studio 2013 SQL Server manager.

  • Has anyone used the camera on the Playbook?  Is it too zoomed in for you?

    On the playbook OS 2.1, when I compare what I am seeing between the camera in an app  and the native camera app - I see about half as much - so the Air app camera looks zoomed in by a factor of 1.5 or 2.
    Here, somewhat, is my code.  I have tried without a holder and scaling my holder down to make sure there is no video outside the screen and there is not.  What is in my camera is just zoomed in!  I have also tried it with the desktop webcam and it is mostly comparible in zoom - Flash cuts off a little compared to the Web cam software but not nearly as much as on the Playbook.  Any thoughts?
    cam = new Video(1024, 600); 
    myTimer = new Timer(200, 1);
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, init);
    myTimer.start();
    holder = new MovieClip();
    addChildAt(holder,0);
    // then in the init
    signal = Camera.getCamera("1");
    signal.setMotionLevel(1,10000);
    signal.setQuality(0, 100);
    signal.setKeyFrameInterval(30);
    signal.setMode(cam.width, cam.height, 30, false);
    cam.attachCamera(signal);
    holder.addChild(cam);
