Histogram LR vs Camera Raw

Why the histogram between Camera Raw and lightroom is different? When I make the black point and white point, the point of clipping, result different for the the same photo with same value.
Let me know
Thank's

Lh 5.7 and CR 8.7!!!! How you can see same value but different result on histogram clipping

Information in Histogram in Adobe Camera RAW

Since I capture my images in RAW, when I open them in Adobe Camera RAW (via Elements 11), what information is displayed in the image and the histogram I see?
Is it showing me the jpeg created in the camera? If so, the jpeg settings in my camera are not only important in viewing the LCD and the histogram in my camera at the time of capture. They would also be important in viewing my image when it first opens in Adobe Camera RAW.
Thanks for some input.

Perhaps you can answer a related question on Camera RAW. When I open an image captured in RAW format, I see an image and histogram in Adobe Camera Raw. Am I correct in assuming that the opening image and histogram are created from the camera's jpeg settings?
No...Camera Raw rips the entire raw image and does a demosaic and application of ACR defaults to generate the preview and the histogram (which is displaying the resulting graph based on the output color space set in ACR Workflow Options). ACR doesn't use ANY settings from the camera's JPEG settings and the only thing that ACR uses from the raw file is white balance info and the ISO metadata...

Histogram inconsistencies with Camera profiles - Camera Raw

Hi,
I've been going nuts with this issue for a year now since Adobe released the camera profiles for Camera Raw. Something tells me this shouldn't be happening.
Well exposed pictures taken with the D300 show an inconsistent histogram in camera raw when using the Adobe camera profiles for the D300.
This is a shame because I prefer the colour rendering of the camera profiles to that of the adobe standard profile.
This is the problem:
With the D300 I get a correct histogram in Camera Raw only if I choose the ACR 4.4 or the Adobe Standard profile. By correct I mean with black and white points filled to the edge of the histogram.
If I choose the camera neutral, standard, portrait or vivid suddenly there's an empty area in the histogram's blacks. Effectively the black point has been shifted quite a bit and I need to push up the slider for blacks up to 30 or so to get the black point back to the right place. While with Adobe standard the blacks are correct at 0 or so. Check out the pics here below.
Is this normal behaviour, or is there something wrong in my settings?

Nice pic of brain Bill. Still, I would take it without any harsh light and rather use longer exposure with tripod. You can see some sort of light source in left bottom part of brain. I assume it was a flash gun or above by lamp. Then you may get much better result ;-)
Thanks. The shot was taken using the Nikon R1C1 closeup flash unit using the diffusers to help eliminate glare. With such specular sources, one must adjust the light sources carefully to avoid glare, but the only sure way to eliminate the glare is to use crossed polarizing filters. Still, the subject is short scale and one must set the white and black points.
Now, to discuss your posted shots. If anything, your posts confirm my initial assertion, since you are correcting post processing and not by changing exposure in the camera. The corrected images are from the same raw expsosures with postprocessing. By the way, if you post your screen shots as PNG, you will eliminate the artifacts around the text.
I put some links of images to explain my point since we still talk about something else. (cannot insert pics via adobe).
http://hajes.org/img/acr/cairngorn.jpg
Brilliant example of screwed up "I have been there" photography. Exposed not very well and at worst light possible. Must go there once again and fix my incompetence.
http://hajes.org/img/acr/cairngorn2.jpg
Cairngorn is short scale because of atmospheric haze. There is no way to correct that with in camera exposure, but you could have exposed more to the right. Nonetheless, you have captured the whole dynamic range of the scene and exposing to the right would only improve the signal:noise. You had to use the exposure and black slider to set the white and black points, which only confirms what I said in my previious posts.
somehow "fixed" previous image. just for fun and learn PS CS4.
http://hajes.org/img/acr/hrad.jpg
overexposed image at first glance by untrained eye.
Hrad is a high dynamic range scene with blown highlights. Your use of the exposure control to bring down the highlights darkens the rest of the image to an undesirable degree. It would have been better to use recovery to tame the highlights. A better approach might be to deveolp for the highlights and shadows separtely and merge the results as shown below. Again the correction is in postprocessing. There would be no way to do that with a camera exposure. The use of +1EV in ACR in HRAD3 only worsens the highlight clipping.

again, overexposed image at first glance by untrained eye. we don't care about clipped shell in the left middle of image. it is not main interest of pic...
http://hajes.org/img/acr/tunka2.jpg
..and we again get 0.50EV extra which corrects clipping.
I don't see any evidence of overexposure. The highlights are well short of clipping and the shot is grossly underexposed--not exposed sufficiently to the right. Nonetheless, the full dynamic range of the short scale scene has been captured and the shadows are well above clipping.
In case some will wonder about weird setting of ACR. It is just for web and I still don't know all tricks of PS. Furthermore, I prefer to spend time in nature rather than in front of computer.
The settings of ACR are indeed wierd. Thomas Knoll recommends setting the highlights with the expsoure slider and the midtones with brightness. An alternative way of doing this, introduced with Lightroom, would be to set the midtones with exposure and control the highlights with recovery. A black point setting would likely be required as well. Again, no way to do that with an in camera expsoure, validating my previous assertion.

Adobe Bridge cs5 V 6.0 camera raw problem

Hey guys I went to correct a few photos I took recently, Like anyother time I do this I open bridge find the photo I want then click open in camera raw...here is a picture of the photo in bridge no problem,
When I go into camera raw this happens to every photo, this one shows it the best but each photo I try and edit has this effect where the contrast of the picture goes from low to high... this problem just occured today, I did not install any new programs or change any settings at all... Please help!

this one shows it the best but each photo I try and edit has this effect where the contrast of the picture goes from low to high... this problem just occured today,
I'm not sure what your problem is but I suppose you mean the red color in the sky? This is a warning sign for highlights exceeding the visible range, like the blue color indicates the same for blacks.
If you bring back exposure you will see the red color change as you can do with other sliders.
Top left and top right of your histogram in Camera Raw you see a black and a white triangle with a square around it. If you click on triangle the square disappears indicating the warning color is set to off.

Help with NEF files... blown out in Camera raw??

My Nef files look great until I use the magnify tool in bridge or open them in camera raw. Then all of sudden they instantly brighten and some of them look overexposed!! Please help... is there a default setting I need to change?? I'm using the Nikon d700 Adobe CS5.1

1) if you are doing a raw conversion using Adobe raw converters (ACR/LR) then you shall not be confused w/ embedded JPGs (written by camera's firmware in your raw files) that you might see temporarily while Adobe software renders some inital preview using your default raw conversion settings (you might change those, including default camera profiles = for Nikon cameras Adobe supplies a standard profile and some profiles to emulate OEM settings, exposure correction, etc)
2) you are are concerned that you in fact overexpose your raws (clipping in raw channels) then just download a free software = http://www.rawdigger.com/ and see the true raw histogramm (not jpeg based histogram that your camera shows), if your raw channels are not clipped then just dial negative expocorrection in ACR/LR and that is it... in most cases it is good to have raw histogram to be as close as possible (and sometimes even clip unimportant parts of the image - specular highlights for example are in many/most/all cases OK when clipped, because there no details for you in them) to clipping - because then you have a good signal to noise ratio for the most important parts of your image...

Camera Raw 5.5 problem?

I upgraded to Lightroom 2.5 yesterday (9/20/09), which includes an upgrade to Adobe Camera Raw 5.5. I started to see a purple artifact appear in highlights after making edits. (I haven't yet investigated enough to identify which editing tool triggers the artifact, or perhaps all of them.) Even when I revert History to the original Import step the purple artifact remains visible on screen.
I'm working with ORF files from the Olympus E-510. ORF is Olympus' RAW format.
When I use the 'Edit in' command in LR to open the same file in Photoshop CS4 11.0.1, with or without LR edits, the highlights artifact remains. LR instructed me to upgrade ACR to 5.5 in Photoshop, for compatibility with LR 2.5, which I did before opening the first file. When I later opened the same ORF file straight from PS, it contained the highlights artifact.
When I saved a JPG from LR, the artifact remained in the JPG file. Opening the JPG in Apple's Preview shows that the artifact is at the pixel level - it is there without using an Adobe product to view the image. Therefore the bug is not restricted to viewing images, but also to processing and saving images.
To test whether the ORF (RAW) file had been altered by LR, I opened it in LightZone 3.8. The highlights artifact is NOT present in the image processed by LightZone. Therefore the Adobe products did not alter the ORF (RAW) file. Because the artifact is present in two Adobe products that depend on ACR 5.5, the bug is probably in ACR 5.5. Perhaps in the calibration for the E-510?
I suspect the bug in ACR 5.5 is caused by improper normalization of the R, G and B channels at the bright end of the histogram, so that color balance is not retained when one channel is blown.
Crops of the LR/ACR 5.5 JPG image and the LightZone JPG can be seen at:

Trouble with Adobe Camera Raw

I have started to use ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) for making changes to my photos before opening them up properly in Photoshop, and I have 2 quick questions:
1. The Photoshop guide I'm reading says that in the White Balance section of the 'Basic' tab (on the right of the big preview image), that I should be able to choose from pre-set white balance settings such as Cloudy, Sunny Day, Flash, Fluorescent etc.
However the only options that are available for me are 'Auto, As Shot and Custom'. Am I doing something wrong?
2. In the main preview box, some of my photos load up with a funny blue outline around the image. Is there a reason for this?
Thanks for your help!
Alex

1) Those options are only available when working with raw files. When working with JPEG's you get only As Shot, Auto and Custom, it's a trade-off for lower filesize.
2) that blue color indicates that you have clipping in those areas. You can turn it on/off by clicking on the icons with a triangle in them from the top of the histogram

How to Save Camera Raw Changes?

Hi all,
First time poster here so please forgive my likely ignorance of Bridge's brilliant features. I have just started to use Bridge as my primary tool in my post-processing workflow. As I started going through a job I completed recently I started to open some under-exposed JPG in Camera Raw (I find it faster to adjust basic things like exposure than Photoshop). Anyway, once I had made my desired changes I then clicked Done which returned me to Bridge and the thumbnail showed the changes I had just made.
My problem is this. Owing to the fact that Bridge does not contain a Histogram I am using another piece of software to quickly view the histogram. Anyway after making a few changes without switching programs I then switched back to discover that the half a dozen or so Camera Raw adjustments were not visible in the alternative program, owing to the use of sidecar xmp files to store the Camera Raw mods.
So my question is this. Say I have 10 images that have all had modifications made to them in Camera Raw (but I haven't opened the image and saved it), how can I bulk export those changes to new JPG images without having to go into each image one by one? It's gotta be there somewhere, I just can't find it.
Can anyone help, please?
Cheers
Josh

the .xmp files are only generated if the file you are working on doesn't support metadata but JPG files support it so the information is written inside them. If you want to "flatten" the file so that the pixel information gets changed then you will have to resave the files which isn't something that you should do very often with JPG files (preferably only once).
To mass save files you can either select them and go to Tools->Photoshop->Image Processor (but this will launch Photoshop) or open them up in Camera Raw, select all of them in the film strip and select Save Images

Camera Raw 8.7.1 color issues

After the recent camera raw update to 8.7.1 I have noticed some pretty bad color shifts between camera raw and photoshop cs6. The colors in camera raw look very saturated and then when moving into photoshop the saturation shift is pretty dramatic. I never had these issues before the update. I have attached a screenshot illustrating the color issue. I am working on a very good monitor ( NEC PA 242W ) and it is color calibrated using NEC Spectraview calibration system. I have double checked my color setting in photoshop and camera raw to make sure I was viewing the same color space. I am just wondering if this is maybe a bug in the update and others are experiencing the same issues or if I am just missing something.
I would also add that I am using the Creative Suite CS6 and not CC. If that makes a difference.

Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

Elements 10, Camera Raw 6.7: no colour space choices

Newbie alert!
I'm no expert on Photoshop or Camera Raw, but I read everywhere that I should be able to change the colour space of the Camera Raw output. At the moment I can only get the default which is sRGB but I want Adobe.
There's a little camera gizmo titled "Camera Calibration" underneath the histogram, but it's not there.
I've read that there should be some control in the middle beneath the preview but there's nothing there either.
Is this hobbled in Elements?
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks for the reply: I'm aware I can set the colour space in the editor but my concern is that if it's exported from Camera Raw as sRGB then converted to AdobeRGB that there may be some information loss, my thinking being that getting it right early is better than later. Am I right in thinking that converting from sRGB to ARGB will lose information, or more likely won't have the full information set in the first place because the initial export from RAW is to sRGB?
I have to say I find the subject of colour management quite mystifying ... but I gather I'm not alone in that.
Thanks again.
Keeping in mind that a raw file has no color profile (it's not even an 'image', it's a recording of light intensity for each of the photosites laid out in a 'Bayer pattern' with Red, Green and blue filters) and that your raw file information will never be altered by any converter, you can be sure that it is always possible to re-process the raw file to aRGB without any information loss.
You are perfectly right that the resulting image (psd, tiff, jpeg...) when you save from the editor will keep its color profile and that converting sRGB to aRGB won't add any useful information; that's what I said in the other post.
When I was experimenting on that matter with other users in another forum, I was able to select previously edited raw files containing subtle tones in green/cyan and re-process them in aRGB instead of sRGB and I got better results on my 6-inks home printer.
Don't believe all images will be better in aRGB, there are not necessarily 'out of gamut' colours in all of your pictures.

Pentax K-x calibration with Camera Raw 3.1, and calibration updates

The Pentax K-x will save its raw files in either DNG (Adobe) format, or PEF (Pentax) format. Until Camera Raw 3.1 was released, I had my K-x writing DNG files, since there was no support in Apperture for PEF files. With Camera Raw 3.1, the K-x is now explicitly included, so that I could switch to PEF format.
My initial sense after doing that was that the PEF files were coming in darker than the DNG files had. But when I switched back to DNG, those were darker than I thought they should be, too. Since I had DNG files that had been processed with Camera Raw 3.0, I went back and made new versions, processing those with Camera Raw 3.1. Those, too, were much darker than the same files processed with the earlier raw developer. For examples, this picture is from a K-x DNG master processed with Camera Raw 3.0, while this picture is from the same master, reprocessed with Camera Raw 3.1. I've embedded the histograms shown in the inspector in each. Each of those has no adjustments applied. The JPEG image produced in camera (I shoot Raw+JPEG) is much closer to the brighter 3.0 image than the darker 3.1 image.
I've seen one other report of similar behaviour with K-x images in here, but that took the approach that the solution was to revert to Camera Raw 3.0, for now, at least. I hate to move backward, particularly if it locks me out of any future updates. So, does Apple have a history of recalibrating cameras that they've already released Raw support for? Might this change in a future Camera Raw update, or is this likely to be what they alway render for the K-x?
I can get the new style images looking okay (in fact, they seem to have better noise characteristics) with a good deal of adjustment, but not if I confine my adjustments to the Raw Processing brick. There, Boost and Hue Boost are both maxxed out by default, already. If I add adjustments in the exposure brick, and maybe a few others, I can probably get a general set of adjustments that will work as a default for this camera, but how common is it to have to do that?

Aperture 3 mostly seems to work fine for me, at the moment. There were some issues with importing my iPhoto Library that I've mostly worked out, and some quirks that were fixed by the 3.0.1 update. I'm not saying it's all better, but it's not the doom that one might imagine reading some of the threads here, either.
I only had the trial version of Aperture 2, though. I only got the K-x in late December, and before that, I had no need for raw processing. The software Pentax supplies is UGLY, though, and iPhoto wasn't cutting it, so I tried the Aperture 2 trial and the Lightroom 3 beta. I concluded that I much preferred Aperture to Lightroom, but I wasn't going to buy Aperture 2 when all the speculation was that Aperture 3 was right around the corner, or not coming at all. Since my Aperture 2 trial had run out, it wasn't a hard choice to buy Aperture 3 as soon as it came out. I do find I use the editing brushes more than I imagined I would, and I'm very happy that it now directly supports my camera - I've switched to shooting PEF raw instead of DNG raw.

Camera Raw 4.4 doesn't work when hosted in Bridge

How stupid is THAT!? ACR 4.4, hosted in Bridge, gets me black images with a white pattern for raw files and solid-black images for DNG files. So are thumbnails displayed in Bridge. Switching back to ACR 4.3.1 resolves the issue. So does hosting ACR 4.4 in Photoshop. Strangely, a raw file opened with ACR 4.4 in Photoshop now offers three profiles (rather than one): "ACR 2.4," "ACR 4.4," and "Embedded." What is "Embedded" supposed to mean? And why does ACR 4.4 in Bridge, displaying a solid-black image, offer "Embedded" only but neither "ACR 2.4" nor "ACR 4.4"?
Anyone experiencing the same problems? For now, I am back to ACR 4.3.1 :(

Yes, sure. Here we go:
1st screenshot---A folder with MRW files. The files have been augmented with metadata a few weeks ago, using Bridge with ACR 4.3.1 installed. The XMP files are there along with the MRW files. Please note that with ACR 4.4 installed, Bridge now says, "Supports XMP: no". Also note that Bridge also grayes out the "Open in Camera Raw ..." instruction from the menu. The cache for the current folder has been purged and re-built; so has the entire cache (have tried both).
See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_01.jpg
2nd screenshot---A folder with DNG files. The files have been created from the MRW files in the previous screenshot a few weeks ago, using Adobe DNG Converter 4.3.1. The small thumbnails are there, but the preview window shows nothing but a solid-black box. Note that Bridge recognizes the XMP support here. Also note that exposure data and focal length are displayed under each thumbnail (not so in the 1st screenshot, even though the preferences are the same). Bridge will allow to open these files in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge (not visible in this particular screenshot). By the way, DNG files are way too pink---they always were (i. e. it's not an ACR-4.4-specific problem).
See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_02.jpg
3rd screenshot---The plot thickens! Another folder of MRW files. This is the folder I was playing with yesterday. For some reason, it does display the thumbnails properly now---it didn't yesterday (cache not yet re-built after switching from ACR 4.3.1 to ACR 4.4; I took this screenshot before the other two above) but the preview window already is defective. So is XMP support.
See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_03.jpg
4th screenshot---This is the same folder as in screenshot #3 after re-building the local folder's cache. Unlike yesterday (and unlike screenshot #1 ... go figure!), the thumbnails are there but all of sudden, most of them show a red "MF" (which I HATE!), and the preview windows shows an image but in a distorted aspect ratio. The metadata as well as XMP support are still missing. The "MF" seems to indicate manual focus (and indeed I did focus most of these shots manually)---but I detest this obtrusive way of indication! I never saw this before in any of my shots. Please make it go away!
See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_04.jpg
5th screenshot---This is the same folder as in screenshot #4 after purging the whole cache entirely. Now the preview window shows the proper aspect ratio. The metadata and the XMP support are still missing. And Bridge won't allow to open this file in Camera Raw (even though it does recognize the Document Type as Camera Raw Image).
See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_05.jpg
6th screenshot---A folder with DNG files (too pink again). The files have been created from the MRW files in the previous screenshot a few weeks ago, using Adobe DNG Converter 4.3.1. Similar to screenshot #2 and unlike the respective folder containing the MRW files (see screenshots #3, #4, and #5), metadata and XMP support are there, the preview windows shows a solid-black box, and it's possible to open the file in Camera Raw hosted in Bridge.
See http://www.ulrix.de/res/pool/acr_4-4/Bridge_ACR_4-4_06.jpg
7th screenshot---Now this is what happens when actually opening a DNG file with Camera Raw hosted in Bridge. You'll get a solid-black image. Note the histogram that is reflecting a solid-black image, too. Also note the contents of the profile selection combo-box which offers "Embedded" only but neither "ACR 2.4" nor "ACR 4.4" (the Konica-Minolta Dynax 7D is supported since ACR 2.4). In contrast to this, ACR 4.4 will open both MRW files and their DNG files just fine when hosted in Photoshop.

Camera raw and eos 60d

I have been trying to open raw files from my new Canon Eos, 60d but elements 9 tells my they are the wrong file type, I downloaded the camera raw patch to update things and I have that, but it will not install into the program, if anyone has any idea how I can deal with this I would appreciate it. Or, does elements 10 have the update, I would buy that but I don't want to find out I am back in the same place. Does anyone else think this web site is over complecated?

ACR has limited functionality in PSE. I suggest you look at Canon's free DPP editor latest version for additional features and then convert to a 16 bit or 8 bit tiff file to work on in PSE.
If you have not installed DPP from the Canon utilities CD that came with the camera you may need to install that first and then perform the DPP upgrade. You may need to register the camera model and serial number in an account you create on the Canon site to get some of the updates. If you go to the Canon site and to the 60D product page, clilck the software and drivers tab, then select the operating system, all of the utility updates will be listed with descriptions that you can download.
ACR does not read the proprietary non-standard metadata in the CR2 file that DPP can read and change (and change again if you wish) as it is non-destructive to the original pixels. With the updated DPP you can download some lens profiles that will assist in correcting chromatic aberration of particular lenses in the available list. If not in the list you'll still have the function available manually.
In the DPP view option turn on the Tool Pallet and you'll see three tabs. RAW sets up tonality, RGB offers color changing options, LENS offers optical correction. Saving a RAW file saves the "recipe" data adjustments in that CR2 file without modifying the pixels themselves. When you convert to TIF for editing, the adjustments you made in the Tool Pallet (and other adjustments) are applied to the tif file pixels that you'll edit in PSE.
The terminology in DPP is different than PSE but if you look at the histograms in the Tool Pallet views you'll get the hang of the sliders and selections for color and tonality and your preview window will show you the effects of those and overall modifications like sharpening. I recommend if you are going to process the output of DPP just do some generic sharpening and do not use the DPP unsharp masking. That should be done in PSE after cropping and sizing the tiff image to your liking including setting the resolution. Any function that offers a pixel radius choice should always be done after setting image size and resolution so if you decide to crop and resize further you are not resizing the outline introduced by those functions.
I have DPP version 3.11.26 which added the ability to download certain lens and camera profiles as starting points.

Camera Raw 4.4.1 has bug with Canon 40D raw files

I shoot with the Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, 1DMII, and the Rebel XTI. The Raw processor is showing an anomaly only with the 40D files. When I load raw images, and when the image is displayed, it is shown at one setting. Then in 3 seconds, its updated again at about 1/2 stop brighter. Each time I click on another image on the left column, same thing. The new image is displayed, then 3 seconds later, updated at about 1/2 stop brighter. THe histogram reflects the changes showing the data moving to the right. This only happens with the 40D raw files.
Whats up?
It happens regardless if "Auto" or "Default" is selected. I use "default" as a norm, never letting PS do an auto correction.
How do I stop Camera Raw from doing the second update? This has to stop.

That's the clipping warning, which you can turn off by clicking on the triangle at the upper right hand corner of the histogram in the ACR preview. That means
your image is overexposed and all those red spots represent areas that are
totally blown out.
You can try to rescue them with the Exposure and Recovery slider.
