HELP!  Black showing up blue in cam raw

I need some help- my blacks are showing up bright blue when I open in camera raw.  As I adjust the black, it just gets worse.  Is this my color setting on my computer or does anyone have suggestions?
If I need to uninstall/reinstall photoshop, am I going to have any trouble with my serial number being used again?
These are hopefully simple answers, but I just want to get it working right.  Thanks!
Katie

You probably have the clipping indicators activated.  In the histogram, there are two little icons in the upper corners.  The one on the left activates the shadow/dark clipping, and the one on the right activates the highlight clipping.  If you click on those little icons you can toggle between having them activated or inactive.  That bright blue that you are seeing indicates that the shadows are being clipped.  If there are highlights being clipped they will be displayed as a bright red.

  • Bridge Not Showing Changes made in Camera Raw

    Hi I work on an iMac (Mac OS X, version 10.4.11), and am currently trialing CS4.  My problem is that I have been processing Canon Raw files in Camera Raw, but when I view the images in the preview pane of Bridge, it is not showing the changes that I have made.
    This is just a sudden problem.  I have been working like this for ages in CS3, and it was even working properly in this trial version of CS4, but literally all of a sudden in the middle of processing a wedding shoot it stopped showing the changes.  So half the images now show the changes but the rest do not, and it no longer shows any of the changes I make in Camera Raw
    Does anyone have any answers to why this suddenly changed?
    Cheers Da     ni

    "Sudden" is usually a sign to trash your suddenly corrupted preferences.  Hold down the option key as you launch Bridge.
    You may also need to Purge the Cache for each offending folder through the Tools Menu in Bridge.
    Also check your thubmnail  options:

  • CS6 Bridge does not show adjustments made in Camera Raw

    How can I fix this?

    Dear Gene,
    I LOVE YOU!!!! THAT DID IT!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
    I've spent hours on this issue, had to process 6,000 Iceland images in CS4 and then redo them in CS6 to be able to see the adjustments, and have spent at least 5-6 hours doing many re-installations and trolling the Adobe site in a circle just trying to contact support. WHEW!!!
    I am very grateful for your help!! Thank you.
    My warmest wishes,

  • Update to camera raw 6.7 pro

    Sorry I have only just realised there is a seperate section on here for camera raw, I posted this in "plugin forum by mistake " and got no replies.
    Please can you help solve the total loss adobe camera raw from my photoshop CS5.1 ?
    I noticed that 6.7 update was available with the patch installer.
    I downloaded, unzipped the files and double clicked the installer as required.
    message displayed to say update now installed, seemed fine I thought.
    However when re-starting photoshop I soon realised camera raw plugin was totally missing..no update or old version, to view or open files with.
    also missing from CS5 bridge, what a pain !
    I use windows XP and also use CS 4 extended on same machine. both versions of CS have worked fine until trying to install this update.
    after a few hours trying to solve my problem I'm hoping someone has some way to overcome this.
    Thanks in advance
    Martin

    I think my old version could have been 6.5.
    System architecture.  AMD CPU Family ; 6, model; 10, stepping; 0 with MMX,  SSE integer, SSE FP
    I have checked various places around the web and I'm really amazed how many people are facing similar problems, trying to get the latest updates to load and work properly.
    I just decided to try and download and install version 6.5 (getting quite desperate to sort it now )  it all seemed to download OK, unzipped the files and double clicked the installer. opened up CS5 and just another waste of time.
    In place of so many people trying to search and locate various ways to fix problems related to updates of ACR...would it be possible to have pinned page on here showing a list of known issues followed by possible solutions (or links to where that information can be found).

  • Camera Raw 8.3 download problem?

    I have the 610 so attempted to download Camera Raw 8.3. First attempt a file downloaded but when I attempted to load it I got message from PhotoShop "
    Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    2nd attempt, when I selected to download Camera Raw 8.3 for CS6 (after some time) I got  Download Error.
    Anyone download successfully? What should I do to download?

    I have both ACR 8.3 RC CC and ACR 8.3 RC CS6 installed and both work ok with their respective Photoshop versions, on my Windows 7 computer.
    What does Help (or LR) / About / Plug-In / Camera Raw… show for a version number and is there more than one version of Camera Raw shown as installed?
    Mac people are having a problem with the installer, since it is not a DMG, but I haven’t seen that for Windows, other than maybe getting the CC and CS6 versions mixed up.
    It would help to know what OS you’re running and what version of Photoshop you have.

  • Camera raw failure

    Have photoshop elements on new computer. Can't open raw images. Uninstalled PE and reinstalled from CD.
    Plug in list showed NO version of camera raw installed. When I tried to update' it did not install any version of camera raw. Probably because there was nothing to update since
    no version of camera raw is installed. Have tried to download CR' but can't figure where to put it.   bscorsone

    Oh alright, I didn't know that.
    Once you have the zip file downloaded you need to unzip it and then follow these instructions (on the download page):
    1. Exit Photoshop Elements
    2. Open My Computer
    3. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 10\File Formats
    4. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 3.
    5. Launch Photoshop Elements
    See if this helps.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop camera raw opening images in jumbled order

    Hello,
    Im opening CR2 files into photoshop and this opens camera raw as planned. When I open a batch load of images, it opens them in a jumbled selection instead of in name order. I've named them "image 1, image 2, etc, etc".
    can somebody please help?

  • No Crop tool in Adobe Camera Raw, have updated to 8.7 but still not there, how do I get full tool panel please?

    Hi, I have the $9.99 Adobe CC package but in Camera Raw I do not have the full tool bar, went to Adobe site and downloaded Camera Raw 8.7 but still not there, I have Windows 7 on PC. Please can anyone help. Thanks.

    Yes, in the camera-raw preferences you can set ACR to open as a plug-in when editing TIFs or JPGs.  There are three settings -- paraphrasing:  Don’t, Open all, and Open those with settings.  You would want to set JPG’s setting to Open All at least temporarily. 
    Of course you can also use PS to crop, right?

  • Can't Open .NEF Files In Camera Raw CS3 - Windows 7

    I have a Nikon D60, Windows 7 Professional (32bit) and  Web Premium CS3. 
    I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7.
    I cannot get my Nikon's .NEF (Camera Raw) files to open when I select "Open in Camera Raw". I can see the .NEF thumbnails, but neither Photoshop or Bridge will open the files in Raw, you know where you can adjust all those killer settings non destructively.
    I had cs3 installed on an XP machine and my .NEF files worked perfectly in Raw.  Not so in Windows 7. I have tried to update to Camera Raw 5.6 but that wouldn't install. Is there an earlier version of CR that I can get and use, or any other advice would help.
    Thanks

    The last version of Camera Raw to work in Photoshop CS3 is version 4.6. If you HAD been able to open your D60 NEF files and now can not, then something changed...did you do a fresh install of CS3 under Win 7? If so you installed version 4.0 (what shipped with CS3). You'll need to go to the Camera Raw Updates for Windows and download an install version 4.6.

  • Photoshop Elements 6.0 Camera Raw doesn't recognize my .RW2 files.

    I downloaded the CameraRaw.8bi file, version 5.4.0.57 and copied it into: Program Files\Common Files\\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats after copying the old version to a safe place. I executed the CameraProfiles.exe program that was included in the ZIP file I downloaded. Elements 6 does not recognize my file format. I have a Panasonic LUMIX FZ28 that uses the .RW2 raw file format. The LUMIX FZ28 is included as a camera that this Raw Converter handles. The Read Me instructions for the install has the path as: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats, so I renamed my CS2 folder to CS3 and tried that, NO GO, still won't recognize  the RW2 format, then I renamed the folder back to CS2. I don't know what else to do!! Can someone please help me? Thanks, Smokey Joe.

    Camera RAW goes another place for Elements, not in the Photoshop Creative Suite subfolders.  Scroll down further until you see a section specific to PSE 6 on Windows, or there are instructions on this page about 2/3 of the way down:

  • Problem with Adobe Camera Raw

    Hi all, I hope someone can shed some light on this; I've been going round in circles with all sorts trying to get Adobe Camera Raw to function on someone's laptop.
    It will not recognise that he wants to open a Raw file (.cr2) into photoshop and doesn't recognise the file type.
    The setup is as follows:
    Win7 Professional
    Photoshop CS3
    Digital Photo Professional 3.5.2.0
    Canon Eos 5D MkII (firmware 1.0.7)
    When I go to Help > About Plugin, there are two "Camera Raw" occurences; one has version 4.6.0.30. The 2nd says "operation could not be completed. class already exists".
    I've tried numerous times to update Photoshop, but every time there is an error saying there's no internet connection. I've checked and checked again and I'm 100% certain that there is no firewall software that might be blocking it somehow. The laptop is otherwise on the internet fine.
    It's becoming quite a problem as we don't have the exposure and other raw format controls to adjust. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled both the Canon camera software and Photoshop.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Don't know why you do not have a internet connection. My guess is the you are running off a router with a firewall. Some websites do not like double firewalls. Try turning off Windows 7 firewall and re-download.
    The free DNG converter on the Adobe download site should help you with opening the RAW file. I am thinking the camera is newer then what PS CS3 RAW supports.
