How do I use camera raw?

Hi,
I've only recently moved from PC to Mac and have been used to editing my raw Canon pics in camera raw before saving them down in Elements.
I've just tried to download Camera Raw and I think this has happened successfully (it shows up as a folder in the download section). However, I don't really know for sure! When I go to edit my raw pics (currently in iPhoto), it just opens them up straight away in Elements. This is annoying because I love the quick edit slider functionality in Camera Raw, so that I can rapidly edit for white balance/contrast/exposure etc.
How do I know if I've really downloaded it? And if I have downloaded it, is there something specific I need to do in order to install it?
Thanks so much,
Bek

Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. *But* iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

  • How do you use Camera Raw Editor to open jpeg files by default, not using "Open As"?

    I've searched for the Camera Raw setting that is available from the Photoshop (not PSE8) menu but it is not even available in Photoshop Elements 8 that I've been able to see.  Does anyone know where this setting is?

    I had PSE8 set to open any file (tiff, jpeg and cr2) with the camera raw editor.  I can not figure out how it got changed or remember where to make this a default option in PSE8.  I found a video showing it available in Photoshop, main menu, camera raw and then you just check the boxes.  I've been looking for the similar setting in PSE8 again because I'm working through some exercises in a book and it is a nuisance to navigate to the image using the "open as" command every time.  I figured it would be just as easy to set the option by default, then, if I didn't want to use the raw editor, I could just click open from there.  Help?  Thanks so much!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • Cannot Use Camera Raw out of LightRoom 4

    Below is a lengthy dialogue that I just had with Tech Support via Chat regarding accessing Camera Raw directly out of LightRoom 4.  The end result is that it can't be done.  LightRoom 4 has it's own "Develop" section and if you try to "Edit in: PhotoShop 6" the RAW image will bypass Camera Raw and open directly into PhotoShop.  Something that I was surprised at and frustrated by.  I thought for sure I was missing somehting.
    I do not recommend buying LightRoom other than a means of "organizing" our images.  I simply use Bridgne and am able to open a Canon "CR2" Raw file directly into Camera Raw and then after making my adjustments directly into PhotoShop.  LightRoom lacks Layers, Paths and Channels and a host of other wonderful adjustment / manipulation capabilites not found in LightRoom.
    So, if you are like me and want to use Camera Raw prior to going to PhotoShop then LightRoom will not get you there.  I spent a tremendous amount of time researching it thinking I must be missing something and then I contacted Support via Chat and we went through changing %AppData%, which only resulted in me losing all my PhotoShop Preferences!  A total waste of the Technician's time and mine.
    I share the below chat with you only to show you the ludicrous amount of time wasted when the answer remains the same:  YOU CANNOT ACCESS CAMERA RAW DIRECTLY OUT OF LIGHTROOM 4

    Soumyadeep: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    Soumyadeep: Hi Fred!
    Fred: Hi there my friend. I am trying to use Lightroom 4, but frankly am not happy with the way it handles RAW files.
    Fred: I cannot open a Canon ".cr2" RAW file directly into Camera Raw from LightRoom.
    Soumyadeep: I have received your query. Please allow me a moment to verify your account and to review the details of your request.
    Fred: Thanks. I have also gone through all of the information I can find in the "Help Menu" looking up everything. Can't find a thing on LightRoom 4. I did not have this problem with Lightroom 3.
    Fred: The RAW file that it references is "DNG".
    Soumyadeep: I understand that you are unable to preview cr2 raw images in Lightroom 4, am I correct?
    Fred: No, I can preview it, but when i want to open it the only choice I am given is CS6. I cannot open it into Camera Raw and it actually choses a completely different and inappropriate plug in from NIK Software.
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for confirming.
    Fred: I know I can change that in the "Prefernces" in Lightroom 4 but I can't find Camera Raw to select as the choice.
    Soumyadeep: I will be glad to assist you with this.
    Soumyadeep: May I have the serial number of the product please?
    Fred: I just checked again and it is set to a NIK Software plugin as an external software to open the file.
    Fred: Yes, let me get it for you.

    Fred: OK, how can I easily get the bloody serial number for you?
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I have locate the serial number in your Adobe account.
    Soumyadeep: Once you login to the Adobe account, click on "My products" under the "My products and services".
    Soumyadeep: There you can locate the serial number which you have registered.
    Fred: OK, so you don't need it now. It isn't in a format that I can copy and paste.
    Fred: 116040070815784336099081
    Soumyadeep: Since it was registered in your Adobe account we can get the information from there.
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for the serial number.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I would like to inform you that all the raw edit options you will get in Lightroom develop module.
    Fred: I hope I copied it correctly it is presented so small.
    Fred: OK, just a second.
    Fred: So, I go to "Develop" it will open in Camera Raw 7.01?
    Fred: Frankly, this is the reason that I have just been using Bridge is because of the seemingly lack of coherent connection between LightRoom 4 and PhotoShop CS6.
    Soumyadeep: I would like to inform you that you will not have any separate camera raw plugins for Lightroom. Since Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
    Fred: At least I can open into Camera Raw and make the necessary adjustments and it will load in to PhotoShop.
    Fred: OK, then why when opening a "RAW" image out of LightRoom does it go directly to CS6 bypassing Camera Raw?
    Fred: Not allowing all of the wonderful adjustment toos, particularly the new ones in Camera Raw. I just don't understand the disconnect.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know which product you are referring as  "CS6"?
    Fred: If I had wanted to process all my images in LightRoom I would not have wasted my money on CS6. Does that make sense?
    Fred: PhotoShop CS6
    Fred: Or PhotoShop 6 Extended
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
    Fred: The question still remains "Why does LightRoom 4 only recongize DNG files and not other RAW file formats and not allow them to be opened into Camera Raw?"
    Fred: I don't want to process my images in LightRoom 4. I want to catalog and sort them. I want to process the RAW files from Canon in Camera Raw and then move on to PhotoShop 6 Extended.
    Fred: So, what you are telling me is that I can't open a RAW file in LightRoom into Camera Raw. Simply stated.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I can understand your concern. Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
    Soumyadeep: May I have the name of the camera model you are referring?
    Fred: Two camera models: EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 60D
    Soumyadeep: Please so that I can check further and try to troubleshoot your issue.
    Soumyadeep: .Thank you for the information.
    Fred: Both are listed as supported by Adobe PhotoShop and Camera Raw. I found that in my research.
    Soumyadeep: Okay.
    Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe applications.
    Fred: I simply want to go from LightRoom 4 directly to Camera Raw 7.01 and then onto PhotoShop 6 Extended. Seems pretty straight forward and logical to me. Then again I'm not Adobe.
    Fred: OK, just a moment and I'll do that.
    Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know what operating system you are using?
    Fred: I am working on Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
    Fred: I have closed all applications from Adobe.
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
    Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
    Soumyadeep: Just type %Appdata% in the search box and hit the enter key.
    Fred: Ok, Im pretty computer savy so just tell me where you want to go.
    Soumyadeep: Double click on Adobe folder.
    Fred: Done
    Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder CameraRaw. Please rename the folder as CameraRawold.
    Fred: Done
    Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder Adobe Photoshop CS6. Please rename the folder as Adobe Photoshop CS6old
    Soumyadeep: After renaming the images please close the page and try to open a raw file and let me know the exact result.
    Fred: Done
    Fred: Just a moment. I have renamed CameraRawold and Adobe6Old. i am going to navigate to my external drive and click on a RAW File
    Soumyadeep: Okay.
    Soumyadeep: Let me know the status.
    Fred: It is opening PhotoShop 6 Extended.
    Fred: I can change the properties of the file to open in another program if that is where we are going.
    Fred: It also created an error that stated that it recognized graphic software that is not completely supported and PhotoShop is not opening normally.
    Fred: Given a little more time it opened in Camera Raw.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, once more step you need to perform as you got an error regarding graphic software.
    Soumyadeep: Please try to work on the Camera Raw and let me know it is working fine or not.
    Fred: And I lost my presets.
    Fred: OK, where does this leave us?
    Fred: With regards to LightRoom 4?
    Soumyadeep: Fred, you wanted to open the raw images in Camera raw option instead of Photoshop CS6, right?
    Fred: Camera Raw appears to be functiong fine.
    Soumyadeep: Great!
    Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe application.
    Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K.
    Soumyadeep: Let me know once you are done.
    Fred: Checking the "CR2" files out of Canon the dafault to open is with PhotoShop 6
    Fred: Ok, let me close all of them.
    Fred: OK, closed sir.
    Soumyadeep: Please navigate to Performance tab.
    Fred: "Performance Tab" in what program?
    Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K
    Soumyadeep: A new window will pop up "Preference"
    Fred: Just a second it is opening. Thanks for help.
    Fred: I am now at the Prefernces box. Performance Tab
    Soumyadeep: You are welcome.
    Soumyadeep: Correct.
    Fred: OK, I'm in Preferences
    Soumyadeep: Please let me know Use Graphics Processor is checked or unchecked.
    Fred: It is checked. I do know that on this machine that the graphics processor is not fully supported due to a lack of a separte video card.
    Soumyadeep: Okay. Please do check once that the graphic drives are updated or not.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I hope now your are able to open the raw images in camera raw as you were referring?
    Fred: Just a second. Driver software is up to date.
    Fred: Let me open LightRoom 4 and see where it goes. Just a second.
    Soumyadeep: Sure.
    Fred: Lightroom is taking a long time to open now.
    Fred: Now I'm getting the message that it is not responding.
    Fred: OK, it finally opened. Just a second.
    Soumyadeep: Okay.
    Soumyadeep: Please let me know the result.
    Fred: In light room when I select "Edit In PhotoShop 6" it is going directly to Photoshop 6 and not opening Camera Raw. Still.
    Fred: So, my friend. We are still back to the original question and now I have to reload all of my preferences lost due to the change in AppData. LOL!
    Fred: I guess I can organize all I ant in LightRoom and still use Bridge to edit and work on my images.
    Fred: Sorry! Organize all I want and still edit out of Bridge.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I am sorry to inform you that when you will open the images from Lightroom it will not require the camera raw and also when you will try to open the images in other software from Lightroom it will directly open in that software. Since Lightroom itself works as a Came

    Jim, thank you for an excellent responce.  I truthfully had researched the "Help" section on LightRoom and PhotoShop and found nothing that even remotely resembled your straight forward and easy to follow directions.  After upgrading to CS6 and LightRoom 4 I am delighted with all of the new features that Adobe created in PhotoShop.  I'm not sure that LightRoom 4 was as great an advancement as PhotoShop itself.
    I am certainly going to give your solution a try and see how it works out for me.   I concur that I probably do not fully understand and appreciate the relationship between the two programs.  Today was my attempt of gaining a better insight to that relationship.  Thank you for your response!

  • 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.

    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).

  • Problems using Camera Raw function in Bridge CS5.1

    Hey so I don't know what the heck is going on, but Camera Raw was working perfectly for me when I got this computer. It's a work computer, and all the programs were recently installed. I like using Camera Raw because of the easy basic editing and mass rendering (from .nef to .jpg) because I do a lot of shooting as a journalist.
    Like I said, it was working fine for me the past three weeks. Now I get this error message:
    Camera Raw editing is not enabled
    Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
    I just installed the program, alongside PSE 12 Editor, and I have no idea how to fix this. Obviously, I've opened both Bridge and PSE, so I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now.
    Please please help. It's a MAJOR pain in the arse to have to edit every photo manually in PSE.

    You can use PSE with multiple Raw files also but Camera Raw in PSE has very limited options compared to the full ACR and also you can't save as jpeg via PSE.
    But do you have Photoshop CS5 installed because I can't find any info on that in your posts??
    Bridge CS4 was the only version that worked with PS elements (PSE 8??) but after that they discontinued the connection and since then PSE again uses its own organizer. So it is either using PSE for your work or you have to use Photoshop and Bridge.
    Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is a plugin that comes with Photoshop. But Bridge has the option to also use this same plug in but it uses the PS version itself. If you open a Raw file in Bridge the normal way it opens in ACR via PS.
    If you choose right mouse click menu 'Open in Camera Raw' it uses ACR via Bridge. You can use both ACR at the same time. e.g. open multiple files in Bridge to load them as 'filmstrip mode' in the ACR window. Make your changes and choose 'save image'. While this jobs is running you can't use PS until the saving has finished.
    however if you return to Bridge and select another bunch and open this via 'Open in Camera Raw' the ACR window opens via Bridge. So while the first job is running in the background via PS you can start the second job via Bridge.
    Be sure to have the latest updates and the latest ACR version for Camera Raw (in your case it should be both PS and Bridge CS5.1 and ACR 6.7)
    In PS go to menu Photoshop / About Plug In / Camera Raw and this provides a window with the version of Camera Raw you are using.

  • How do I get Camera Raw for Pentax PEF file to open in Photoshop CS4?

    How do I get Camera Raw in CS4 to recognize Pentax PEF files? I have downloaded and installed the Camera Raw Plug Ins but I still cannot open the file.  I have done this on my older computer but can't seem to get it to work on my new one.

    I just looked that up. You need at least Adobe Camera Raw 8.3 which only Photoshop CS6 and above has.
    Adobe Camera RAW 8.3 include Pentax K-3 support - PentaxForums.com
    So in order to read it in ACR 5.7, you will need to use the free Adobe DNG Converter and convert those Pentax raw files to DNG.

    Native support requires ACR version 8.3, which will only run under CS6 or CC.
