How do I access camera raw from withing Lightroom

Bear with me as I am new at this. I am trying lightroom and have read several reviews of 1.1 and Camera Raw 4.1. I read Martin Evening's update on 1.1 and he has a whole section on using CR to make adjustments to the raw file.
I imported several raw images in nef and dng formats into lightroom. I cannot see any way to open Camera Raw from any of the menues in lightroom. Could someone tell me how I get to Camera Raw 4.1 from within lightroom?
I have no problem accessing the image in Camera Raw from Bridge. It was my understanding that you do not need Bridge, just Lightroom to use Camera Raw.

ACR operates as a plugin within Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and does not operate on its own.
Lightroom is a separate software program which incorporates the ACR conversion processes for working with raw files. It does not require your having Photoshop installed on your computer.
I think Adobe has created a lot of the confusion in re naming the program "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" from the earlier name of "Adobe Lightroom" since it is not a part of Photoshop.

  • Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.

    Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.  When I try, I get a message that says, "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."  Is Photoshop CC a qualifying product?  It has been opened a number of times, but it doesn't solve this problem.

    I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

  • How do I access Camera Raw Plug-in for PSE 11?

    I can't figure out how to access the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop Elements 11 ( on a Macbook Pro OSX.)  I recently installed  PSE 11, and when I select "about plug-in" within the app, it brings up a box that shows version 7.1.0.354.  Does that mean it's already installed?  If so, how do I access it to edit a photo? In past PSE versions I simply chose "Open file / as Camera Raw" but that option doesn't come up.

    In the File Open dialog ensure you have All Readable Documents selected for Enable.
    Click on the file you want to open
    Change the Format to Camera Raw

  • How to go to Camera Raw from Lightroom

    Using Photoshop/Lightroom CC - Windows 7
    Is there some way to open an image in Camera Raw directly from Lightroom?
    Thanks,
    RzzB

    From LR, right click and choose Open in Photoshop as Smart Object. You can then double click the smart object which launches ACR. Obviously this leaves you with a TIF file.
    Alternatively, use Bridge. Afterwards, in LR, you can run Metadata > Read Metadata from File. This brings your brush editing results into LR, though you won't be able to edit the brush edit.

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • How to access Camera Raw when invoking CS5 from Lightroom 3?

    When I invoke CS5 from Lightroom, my NEF files seem to load directly without giving me an opportunity to make adjustments in Camera Raw. If I open the same NEF file from windows Explorer, CS5 presents the Camera Raw adjustment page and I can make adjustments before proceeding.
    How can I work around this?
    BTW I know I can make camera raw adjustments in Lightroom and then open in CS5, however for an image that I know I will be using CS5 on anyway, I don't want to do anything at all in LR just go direct to CS5 but I can't do this if this bypasses my ability to make adjustments in camera raw!
    I must be missing something here, can anyone point me in the right direction?
    [I'm using Camera Raw 6.1, LR3, CS5 12.0.1 x64; Invoking CS5 from LR3 by right-click on image, Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5]

    That workaround did work for me so thanks for the helpful reply!
    If anyone else has other ways of making this work I'd like to hear about it.
    Thanks,

  • How to open jpg, tiff files in camera raw from elements 10 organizer

    How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

    Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is  the correct word).
    For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
    I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
    Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
    As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
    Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

  • How do I open my TIF file into Camera Raw from Bridge?

    Trying to follow a tutorial on editing an HDR image in photoshop. When instructed to open the TIF image into Camera Raw from Bridge, I don't get the option when I right click. What is going on here?

    I was talking about an advanced action, which is not loaded externally but executed on runtime (will be translated to AS). So this will only work if you can pass the value of the variable containing the slide number you want to the SWF. For that you'll need JavaScript and I'm not that acquainted with JS. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's blog:
    http://captivatedev.com/series/captivate-javascript-series/
    In Captivate you create an advanced action to be triggered on entering the first slide, that will jump to the wanted slide number. If you can figure out how to pass the slide number, could help with the advanced action, I know them rather well:

  • How cn I install camera raw on to my computer.  I have CS5 but no separate camera raw application ? Thank you

    How can I install camera raw on to my computer.  I have CS5 but no separate camera raw application ? Thank you

    Camera Raw is not a separate application that can be identified and used separately from Photosho. It is a plug-in that is accessed from Photoshop or Bridge or Photoshop Elements. When you attempt to open a raw image the plug-in is activated if it is able to recognize the files created by the camera you used. However, support must be provided for every individual camera model. Updates must be provided with this new support. The latest version of Camera Raw that can be used with Photoshop CS5 is Camera Raw 6.7. You can find out what version of Camera Raw is installed by going to the help menu in Photoshop and then clicking on plug-ins->Camera Raw. If the version that is reported is older than 6.7 then you can click on help->updates and obtain an installation of the last version of Camera Raw you can use. If your camera is newer than what was supported in Camera Raw 6.7 then you will have to use the DNG converter or purchase Photoshop CS6, or subscribe to the creative cloud photography plan ($9.99/month).

  • Cannot open some jpgs in Camera Raw from Bridge

    A couple of days ago, I rated select images from a set as 5 stars, and now I cannot open these in Camera Raw from Bridge. I get no error messages or anything, there is just simply no option to Open in Camera Raw from the File menu, or the right-click menu. The images I did not rate still open in Camera Raw, and not all of the starred ones have this problem - just 20 or so consecutive images. This makes no sense to me, as all the images as far as I can tell should operate the same way. They are all jpgs. I can find workarounds to this like working in Photoshop (all the images still open in Photoshop) or possibly just reloading the photos from the memory card, but I'd like to know why this would even be a problem to avoid it in the future. I'm using CC on Win 8.

    I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves.  RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
    If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
    The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
    To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab.  Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
    You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab.  Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure.  It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.

  • Camera RAW issues with Canon T4i

    I have many, many cameras and have used Photoshop and Bridge for years.  Even though the latest updates for Camera RAW says it can handle the T4i, I tried opening these files on two separate computers, both running Win 7 64 bit, and my having Photoshop Extended 5+ 64 bit on both computers.
    I tried reformatting the camera card, wanting to eliminate that as a possible problem, and the same problem exists.
    Camera RAW will recognize all of my other cameras, the D Mark III, T3i, Nikon D2x, D3, D3X, so on and so forth, but not the T4i.
    I stopped short of doing an image restore on that machine, thinking my installation of Photoshop must have been corrupted when I removed Elements and Preimere Elements, but no...I'm now on an IBM W701 with the same software and I have the same probem.
    If someone from Adobe would like me to send them a file from the T4i, I will.  If I shoot in jpeg, there are no issues.  But I do not shoot in jpeg.  I only did it to see if perhaps it were the SD card.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    With Photoshop CS5 (I think that's what you said) you no longer have access to the latest updates for Camera Raw.
    Photoshop CS5 can only take up to Camera Raw 6.7 (latest version is 7.1, which goes with Photoshop CS6 only). 
    You'll either need to upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG converter and go through the extra step of converting your T4i images to DNG before opening them in Camera Raw 6.7.
