How to open a raw image with two different exposures?

Hello,
I am trying to open a raw image file in Elements with two different exposures so that I can use an adjustment layer to blend the exposures. For the life of me, I cannot figure this out, and the online help is completely useless. I have read everything in the online help about working with layers and it does not mention a single thing about this process. I know it can be done because I have done it before with a previous version of Elements, but I remember it being a very awkward experience. Can anyone point me to a page with this technique, or share the secret? Thanks. If anyone from Adobe is watching this forum, please try to make this product easier to use, more intuitive, and less reliant on subtleties, and by all means, PLEASE improve the documentation as it is practically empty of any useful information.
Thanks,
Shan

I tried that. When I open one image and set the exposure, then go to open the second image, nothing happens. I then saved one image as a psd file, then it would let me open the raw file a second time. When I had both open on the same screen and dragged the layer from one into another image, the layer size ended up being different than the other file. It was shifted down and to the left. I need these images to be pixel locked, and the user experience I went through did not allow me to do this.
I also do not see a way to copy/paste layers between files.

  • How do I convert raw images with side car to Dng and

    How do I convert raw images with side car to Dng and preserve the sidecar info in the DNG?
    I have tons of raws + xmp sidecars that i want to convert to dng, because the raws are from different camera brands and i want to get everything simplified. so that i do not have to worry if I will be able to access the raws in the future, if I decide I want to rework some of the files.
    T.I.A.

    If the images are already in your catalog you can select them then choose Convert Photos to DNG from the Library menu. You'll be given the option of deleting the original raw files. Either way, Lr will only display the newly created DNG files.
    The alternative, which is better suited to images not already in the catalog is to use the Adobe DNG Converter

    Hi Libby,
    Select all three columns of data. All three must be 'regular' columns, not Header columns, and the X values must be in the leftmost column.
    Click the Charts button and choose the Scatter chart.
    The resulting chart will initially show only the first and second columns of data, and the selection will have been reduced to show this.
    Click the gear icon at the top left of the selection and choose Share X Values.
    You should see a result similar to this:
    Notes:
    The values on my sample table contain a random element, so they have changed from thhe first image to the second.
    The chart is as created by Numbers, with two edits:
    Data points have been connected with curves, using the Chart nspector.
    The curves were selected and their stroke increased to 2pts, using the stroke formating button in the format bar.

  • How do I open a raw image with the Photoshop raw plug in as opposed to the Bridge raw plug-in.

    I read in a book on adobe raw that it is often useful to open an image at the same time with the adobe camera raw bridge plug in and the Photoshop camera raw plug in.
    I can open a raw image in photoshop but I suspect I am not actually getting access to the camera raw plug in as none of the controls present in the bridge raw plug seem to be available from within Photoshop.
    Of course I can access bridge and the bridge raw plug in by opening bridge from within Photoshop but this is not what I want to do.  I would like to open the image using the photoshop raw plug in not the bridge plug in.
    Clueless . . . and confused.

    Thanks for the discussion.  It is interesting.  Let me clarify a bit regarding my issue.
    I am using Mountain Lion OSX on a mac, of course, and CS6.  I have been using Aperture, a piece of Apple Software similar to Light Room to organize my images, opening them from Aperture in Photoshop to edit them, as I am both familiar with Photoshop and like the way it does things better than Aperture.  I recently started using CS6 and working with Adobe Camera raw 7, which I think is the version that comes with CS6.  All the info I can get from the web site, including a very nice tutorial from Adobe on camera raw, simply tells me to open it from Bridge.  When I do this, I get a nice set of sliders and other adjustments specifically associated with Adobe Camera Raw and the camera I am using.
    I can open a file in Photoshop using the method SkillRooster suggests and, sure enough, it opens it with the camera raw plug-in (if I simply open the image by double clicking on it it opens in photoshop, no plug-in).  If I then go to bridge and open it from there, I don't get a second instance of Camera raw, it simply points me at the instance opened through Photoshop.
    However, when I open a raw image in Photoshop from Aperture  (raw images open with no problem) I simply get the Photoshop interface, not the camera raw plug-in, the same as if I had double clicked on the image to open it from outside of Aperture.  I am trying to figure out if there is some way to open an image from Aperture in Photoshop so that it opens in the camera raw plug-in.  One possibility I could imagene is to open it in Photoshop and from there open it in the plug-in.  The only thing I see regarding this in Photoshop is a menu item that lets me close the image and open Bridge, which doesn't help me with my Aperture issue.  I could decide to switch to bridge, but with the thousands of images I now have in Aperture, this would be quite a bit of work.  I may just have to work with both going forward.
    The root of my original question comes from something I recently read in a book by Bruce Fraser on Camera Raw which is excellent, but it focues on CS 5.5 as he died before being able to update it.  In that book he describes a trick he uses where he opens the raw image in a plug-in in Bridge and then opens it a second time using a plug-in in Photoshop.  This give him a chance to compare adjustments between the two open images.  As I mentioned above, when I try to do this by starting with Photoshop and then going to Bridge, it points me at the same instance.  I can't open it in Bridge and then Photoshop since once it is open in Bridge, it won't let me into Photoshop without closing the image in Bridge.  I was thinking there might be something in Fraser's method that would help me with my Aperture issue, but can't reproduce what he describes.
    Perhaps this was possible in CS5.5 but no longer  in CS6.
    Another work around I can imagine is to do all my raw editing from Bridge and then save the file as a DNG file in Aperture.  I suspect that after that, I am stuck with doing any more raw editing using the Aperture camera raw funcions, which are a bit lacking compared with Adobe Camera Raw.
    Hope I am being clear here about my dilemma.  Any help would be welcomed.

  • How to open multiple RAW images in Elements 7

    With Elements 5 I can open any number of RAW images and process each one separately, one at a time, applying corrections to each image individually in the RAW dialogue, clicking Open Image, repeat.  When done each image is in the work space, allowing me to work further, crop, fix, Save as JPEG, CLOSE, etc.
    With Elements 7 the capability to process multiple RAW images in the workspace seems to have degraded.  I must process one RAW image at a time, or open many RAW images, Select All and have the correction(s) I apply to the first RAW image apply to all the RAW images.  The first alternative is very time consuming while the second alternative is not acceptable.
    Any help appreciated in how to regain the function I had with Elements 5. 

    If I select more than one image in the
    left pain, either individually or by
    Select All, Elements 7 dutifully opens
    the RAW images selected in the
    workspace.
    The rub is that Elements 7 then applies
    the RAW adjustments from the RAW image
    dialogue (e.g., Brightness, Contrast,
    Clarity) for the first RAW image to all
    the RAW images
    before placing them in the workspace for
    further editing.
    Elements 5 provides a RAW image dialogue
    for each RAW image individually, one at
    a time, when I open them en masse.   As
    near as I can tell, Elements 7 does not,
    forcing the user
    to either open each RAW image
    individually or presume that the RAW
    adjustments made to one image should
    apply to all the others before opening
    them in the workspace for further
    editing.
    This presumption will generally be a bad
    presumption, forcing the user to the
    one-at-a-time option, which is very,
    very slow.
    Thank you again,
    Paul M.

  • How to open a new image with no Lightroom adjustments

    Hi
    Can someone explain howe to do the following :-
    I have images in LR CC which has beed edited. I want to open a clean non-edited RAW image into Photoshop as a smart object.
    Reason being I want I want to start editing a clean copy.
    Thanks CARLO

    A TIF image that has been edited in Photoshop and then saved cannot be restored to its original unedited state. Images that are saved in Photoshop have the Photoshop adjustments permanently embedded into them.
    In my opinion, it is a bad idea to ever delete raw images (except, of course rejected or bad images). They are your masters, and the only images that you can restore the original default settings. And even then, raw images Cannot be restored to a complete and edited state because Camera Raw and Lightroom must interpret the raw image data and convert it to something that can be displayed. In that process default settings are applied to the image.
    I'm sure you also realize that once an image is opened in Photoshop (not Camera Raw) you are no longer working with raw image data. Photoshop itself is not capable of editing raw data. That is why Camera Raw or Lightroom or some other raw converter is required. Your best choice would be to always retain the original raw images if you want to be able to go back to the beginning and start over.

  • HT1206 How do you authorize a macbook with two different Apple IDs?

    I am having a little problem right now. My fiance and I both have our own accounts; he got one made by his brother and used it sometimes to buy apps and eventually he started using mines to make purchases because for a while we forgot his Apple ID log in info. My questions right now is can I authorize the one computer that we share right now under two different Apple Ids so that he can get both profiles' contents loaded onto my computer and sync them to his ipod? Just wondering because we don't have wifi and want to get all of our apps, music, etc from both accounts onto our new ipod. I managed to download all of his apps from his Apple ID onto my macbook but I tried to sync them to our new ipod and it said that we had to authorize the computer under his Apple ID and I tried it and it wouldn't allow me to do it it said to wait 90 days before I can do this because it is already associated with my Apple ID. I deauthorized my macbook under my Apple ID and tried to authorize it under my fiance's and it said the same thing. And now Idk what to do:( Can someone help me and tell me what options are available for me? Can I reach itunes support and have them merge our accounts or enable me to have 2 accounts authorized on my macbook that we share or can I find a wifi connection and be able to download all of his content from his Apple ID account from itunes purchased on the ipod touch? Please help me out I would hate to have to buy all of the stuff on his Apple ID account all over again I spent so much money on his account in the past and I don't want him to be upset either:( 

    OMG I am so ecstatic and happy right now like literally jumping and crying with joy! Lol I fixed the problem and authorized both accounts onto my one macbook (that my fiance share) by clicking on one of my fiance's apps and it instructed me to authorize the apps for updates and what not on this computer and I just chanced it and logged into his account and both of all of our apps are on our ipod touch now:D I think we can even get his music back too. I looked at his authorized computer info and it says that he has one computer authorized with his account (the one we are now using) so it worked. Share with others who are in similar situations and warn them to log into their Apple ID Itunes accounts and download past purchased APPS on all the accounts they have before authorizing one of their itunes accounts on a new or different computer and once you have one authorized you'll already have the apps from your other accounts and you can authorize all the other accounts (the underground way) by clicking on the apps associated with each account and authorizing by signing in for authorization(authorizing one app will do them all). The Menu > Store > Authorize This Computer way didn't work for me just the *double click on app associated with the other account not authorized on my computer* and authorizing it that way worked for me. The way that I got all of my fiances apps on our computer first was by just logging in and looking at Purchased on itunes store and clicking download all for all apps. Then after I did his I did all apps on mines and then music and authorized my computer under my itunes account because downloading Purchased music required it and then finally going back and double clicking the apps from the other account and authorizing it that way it is much more simpler that the Menu>Store> Authorize this Computer.
    After I tried that double clicking on apps and authorization by signing in I expected it not to work because the Menu>Store>Authorize way didn't work for me it kept saying "this computer is already authorized under a different Apple ID" and try again in 90 days. The method and steps I provided should allow you to beat around that obstacle and get your apps from all associated accounts.
    Thank me later and good luck to all of you I hope that it will work for you just as it had for me today:D

  • Using RAW images with CS6

    Hi - im not sure if there is another forum that answers this question.
    So far the only way I have been able to open up a RAW image in photoshop which then automatically launches camera RAW is by going to finder > iphoto > open package contents - to find the original file. Ive been told that can possible damage/corrupt yout image library. Is there another safe way to deal with RAW images? Right now iPhoto will open a raw image with photoshop the problem is it throws it over into PS and claims its a JPEG.
    Maybe im just not as educated as I need to be with the Apple software.
    Thanks in advance!

    Set ACR as your preferred editor in iPhoto
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> Advanced -> 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.
    Then check the box underneath 'Use Raw when using external editor'
    Now your Raw will be sent there.
    But getting it back is a bit of a 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.

  • Open the same raw file in PS5 with two different White Balance settings

    I'm trying to open the same Raw File in PS5 with two different White Balance settings.  One setting "as shot" the other in "daylight", then blend them.  The tutorial I'm watching says to "stack" the images.  The tutorial shows one White Balance setting as the "Background" layer and the other setting as "Layer 1".  I don't know how to do this and the tutorial is not specific.  Can anyone either point me to a step by step instruction or offer some assistance?

    Also look at the "Snapshots" feature of Camera Raw itself.  It allows you non-destructively to keep multiple sets of settings for a single raw file.
    Learning about it far exceeds the scope of what can be done in this particular forum.  I would recommend this book as essential reading:
