How to get Imacon fff files into Camera Raw?

I have read previous string on this topic.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311779
Solution was to use FlexColor to import fff files and then re-export as DNG and work in Camera RAW.
I have tried this using FlexColor 4.8.9 installed on both Vista(32 bit) and XP (32 bit) machines, both behave identically:
I succeeded in getting Flexcolor to run (it looks useful) but when in FlexColor main window and I click on "thumbnails button", the resulting flyout window offers "Save" but when I click on this I am offered "Batch Save" with Normal and Preview options: the DNG option is greyed out. Saving under Normal just delivers a tif file to the selected location.
Grateful to anyone who can point out what I have done wrong - or suggest a simple way to import Hasselblad/imacon scanner files in fff format into Adobe Camera Raw within CS6 under windows XP 32 bit. Thanks Bill

If we’re talking about Imacon SCANNER FFF files, then at least in forum posts from a few years back those aren’t supposed to work to convert to DNGs because the internal metadata is missing and Hasselblad doesn’t provide a way to do it.  Does it work to rename them to TIFF?  I couldn’t find a sample to test with.

I am able to see the Imacon 3f plug-in within CS6 Help / About Plug-ins… if I copy the CS5\Plug-ins \FlexColor Formats to CS6\REQUIRED\Plug-ins\FlexColor Formats for both 32-bit and 64-bit program paths.
The CS5 version of the plug-in was installed when I installed either FlexColor or Phocus, I forget which.

  • 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 to import Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5 keeping 16bit?

    I have a problem importing Hasselblad fff files into Lightroom 5. I have seen articles that I should change them into DNG by Phocus.
    When a photo is converted into DNG file it seems that it becomes 8 bit when I open in photoshop. Since I am shooting with RAW, I'D like to keep it
    in 16 bit. Am I making sense? Or I am missing some information regarding DNG and 8bit business?
    Please teach me the best way.

    If opening directly from LR into Photoshop check your pref settings.
    Edit >> Preferences >> External Editing (Lightroom >> Preferences >> External Editing on Mac OSX)
    The usual choice is to render a 16 bit tiff or PSD file. Make sure it’s not incorrectly set to 8 bit.

    You can also open any open document into the camera raw filter

  • How to Get XDCAM Transfer files into FCP scratch disk locations

    Hi
    I'm new to XDCAM transfer. I have XDCAM Browser and Transfer, latest versions. I have successfully imported into FCP, but I was surprised to see the footage stored in a default 'Movies' location. I thought, okay, I'll just change the import location in the XDCAM Transfer preferences to the FCP scratch disk location but then I realized that since I have multiple scratch disk locations I would be defeating the way FCP works, which is to to automatically go to the location with the room for the files.
    I didn't have this problem with Panasonic P2.
    Is there a way to import XDCAM files into FCP and have it go to the scratch disk locations already established in FCP?
    Thank you,
    Phil

    Hi Phil
    Although XDCAM Transfer can be launched from within FCP (using the File > Import > Sony XDCAM.. command) the app itself is standalone and works outside of the control of FCP. It has no means of discovering and using the Capture Scratch location defined within FCP (because Apple do not provide any means for a third party app to do so).
    The Panasonic P2 format is (can be) transfered directly using FCP's own Log and Transfer interface and so works wholly within FCP hence the target directory for imports honors the defined Capture Scratch location.
    If you are working with the XDCAM EX series of camera's then you can use Sony's FCP Log and Transfer plugin (PDZK - LT1) instead of XDCAM Transfer to import your clips, and so achieve the functionality you are looking for. Although you lose some of the flexibility/functionality of the standalone XDCAM Transfer app (PDZK-P1) the benefit of handling everything directly with FCP's own interface might be preferable for you.
    Hope it helps

  • Opening RAW file into Camera Raw (help please)

    Hi,
    Brand new to Photoshop (free trial started 2 days ago) and am having significant difficulties with overall program.  One major issue is the ability to open my photos into the Camera Raw program.  One tutorial mentions to right click and convert it to Smart Object in order to launch the program but this does not seem to work for me.  It merely adds a small image into the corner and becomes a "Smart Object Thumbnail".  I don't use Bridge (heck, I don't even know what Bridge is!) and am merely opening up a file into Photoshop directly.
    My images are in a raw format, does that make a difference?  Do photos have to be in jpegs to use that program? 
    Thanks.

    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) requires a lot of reading to master.
    Raw files should automatically open in ACR when you double-click on them.  ACR can be hosted either by Photoshop or by Adobe Bridge, and the respective application will launch when you double click on the raw file and present you with your file open in ACR.
    The purpose of ACR is to convert the raw file into something you can see and use.  Raw files are very, very dark gray-scale images with nothing a human eye can discern as color.
    Forget about "Smart Objects" for now, that is something you will only be able to understand or use until you are proficient with Photoshop, many months or a couple of years from now if you are truly dedicated and take a Photoshop course at a community college near you.
    You cannot open a raw file in Photoshop directly.  It has to be converted in ACR first.

  • How do I open jpg files in camera raw?

    I have read in numerous articles that I can open jpg files in ACR from within Elements 11. They all state to go File>Open, then browse to the jpg you wish to open, select Camera Raw from the file type and select the jpg. When I select the Camera Raw file type then all the jpg images disappear in the selection area or if I click the jpg first and then select Camera Raw and open then it says file not found. Am I doing this wrong or are the articles I am reading incorrect?

    Hi Majortipper,
    In Elements 11 go to File menu >> open as .
    It will open a file open dialog where you have a "format" drop-down instead of format menu.
    In Elemens 12 this "open as" is replaced with "Open in camera raw"
    thanks,

  • Open raw file into camera raw ?

    Before I used Adobe Bridge to keep track of my photos, and that program has a function where you can right-click on a raw file and choose to open the photo in camera raw. I can't seem to find this function in Lightroom 1.3 Is it there some where ?

    Yes, I do, and I just answered a similar a few hours ago.
    You use "Import" to attach files to the LR catalog, as a general rule. You can, at least on a Mac, assign LR to open .crw files, for instance and it will import that way.
    I presume you're on a PC?

    I'm working on my bachelor project, and has borrowed a Panasonic HPX 170, and will cut in Final Cut Pro 7. Now I have all the files on a hard drive, and they are MFX files.
    - How do I get them into FCP?
    Many thanks for all your help!

    Thanks
    But what if the clips are already on my iMac via the hard disk? What you write, is through the camera right?
    I've tried to get the files by the camera into FCP, but it did not. It can not find the camera.
    Thanks for your answer

    What is the file extension of this zipped folder.....zip or 7-Zip or something else?
    If you have a ordinary .zip folder with a .jpeg photo inside it, you should be able to right click the zipped folder, select Extract All from drop down list, and then follow the instructions to get the unzipped folder that you open by double clicking it in order to see and use the photo.
    Also, if this photo was edited in Photoshop and has a CMYK color profile, you will not be able to open it in Premiere Elements (any version).
    Keep away from the Adobe Reader if all that you have is a zipped folder.
    We will be watching for your progress.

  • How to get edited VOB files into iDVD?

    Hello all,
    This is actually a bunch of questions, not all of which are related to iDVD, but I didn't really know where else to post this. I have just ripped a DVD with MacTheRipper and have a bunch of VOB files in a VIDEO_TS folder that I would like to edit slightly and burn back to a DVD without any loss of quality if possible. I have that MPEG-2 component thingy, and I can open the VOB files in MPEG Streamclip, and even trim the movie and save as a new VOB, all within Streamclip.
    1. First of all, is this newly created VOB compatible with iDVD, or do I need to export it to some other format?
    2. If it's not compatible, which other format is best, and is there a way to convert it without loss of quality?
    3. If no loss of quality is possible, what settings would get me minimum loss of quality?
    4. If all else fails, is the newly created VOB compatible with any other DVD burning software, and what is the best one in your opinion?
    Sorry for all the questions. I've learned from reading so many forums that one must be very specific indeed to get any kind of good advice. Thank you all in advance!

    If your first paragraph is correct, then replacing the old VOB files with the new (edited) ones in the TS-folder will do the trick, if you have Toast. Just drag that TS folder to the Toast window and burn - job done.
    If you don't you will have to go the long way: use MPEG Streamclip to convert the VOB files to DV and import into iMovie, then edit and send to iDVD.
    Loss of quality? Possibly.

    I have tried dragging the files and the folders, creating playlists and dragging them, importing files and folders, but nothing works. Is it impossible to do?

    It's easy to make audiobooks so long as you start off with AAC files (.m4a). If your books are in MP3 format, either rerip the book from CD into AAC or else convert MP3 to AAC. In iTunes there is an AAC choiced called "Spoken Podcast" that's great for making audiobooks (Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing).
