How to start with Camera Raw (basics)

Hi,
I'm a beginner.....in ACR.... camera: Panasonic DMC FZ8.
What steps must I do to begin editing images in ACR?
for example:
- What you see is what you get.......
- adjusting colors for monitor en images to see what I get.... color difference between what's going in (the image on screen) and what's going out (the final picture on paper)...calibrate?
- how I must understand the preset values in ACR (for example: sharpnes / noise / contrast etc).... are they "enough" to get a good picture (on paper).
- if I afterwards make a correction in PhotoShop (where the image is converted to) is that making the image worse (<>compared RAW-editing).
- colordepth and dpi .... to make a picture (normal format.... < 18 x 24 cm paper)
- ......may be more.......
- until this moment .... my developed images in ACR have more noise / less sharpnes / sometimes flat colors then the JPG-iamge that is made in the same shot.
Please a good advice
Thanks

Hi 99 jon,
Problem for video is solved ...... there was a block for this website (ABP-block of FireFox)
I ve seen the videos..... usefull.... Thanks!
But there is still my first question: ...... how get I....... "what you see is what you get" ......I mean before I start manipulating the image.
for example:
- are the colors I see on my screen the right colors wich I see on paper (foto) later
- what to do with the presets of my camera..."abnormalities" ....can I make a cameraprofile (or something) that corrects values I prefer (eg..some more sharpnes).... which profile I can use everytime I need it.
This stuff is (I think) not so popular on videos.
I am looking for some manual-guide which mentions the red-thread.... may be not a book but lines of chronological text with a picture (eg) for steps to do.

How to start with JDeveloper?

As a straight A student of Computer Science, I put my hands on database development of an information system project for our CS faculty this summer. JDeveloper is used as the IDE for such project.
I have learnt Java 2 and something about Oracle database in my courses. Now, after reading the product introduction and a short online course outline in iDeveloper2001, I have a brief idea about it. But since I can not afford much, how to learn more about it? Could you offer me some advices?
Thanks a lot!

The online users guide and documentation is the best place to
start to learn how to use JDeveloper.

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.

Help render the raw files edited with camera raw how?

Hi
i have a problem
i use bridge cs5 (updated) to browse my raw files
often i open my raw files with camera raw inside bridge cs5 and make some corrections like exposure , saturation , contrast and so on
but after bridge doesn't re-render the files
i mean the thumbs ,previews , the slideshow still are in default setting
when i click and open with camera raw inside bridge or with photoshop cs5 ,the raw files look with corretions
but again bridge show me not with the corrections
i run under w7 32bit
what could be the problem?
thanks

mantralightroom wrote:
i see previews and thumbs with the edits but with a big delay
thanks
If you are using HQ On Demand you will get fast thumbnails, but there will be a delay in generating the preview as Bridge builds it.
The Always HQ takes more space, but faster as the data is already in cache.
Hope this helps.

Minolta DiMAGE A200 support broke with Camera Raw 2.1

Hi,
I am new to this forum, but I hope someone can help.
Using Aperture since 1.5 with a couple of cameras I started with my Minolta DiMAGE A200. Unfortunately this camera was not supported by Aperture, but the identical A2.
Of course there was a trick to bring A200 Raw support to Apple by editing Raw.plist . This worked perfectly (since the RAW files are identical for A200 and A2).
With Camera Raw update 2.2 onwards this trick does not work anymore. The syntax and I also think the OS internal handling of Raw files did change. Worse, Mac OSX 10.5.6 seems to need Camera Raw >2.1 . So staying with the old Camera Raw package does not work.
Of course I don´t want to blame Apple for breaking a hack, but since the beginning I never understood, why Apple does not support a identical camera model!
Has anybody similar issues or a hint how to proceed? (without going to .dng)
Best regards
Joe

Hi all,
I contacted Konica Minolta tech support and they confirmed that the A200 is supported under Tiger (10.4) and should also work with iPhoto. Here's the email I received:
"The camera will work on OS Tiger but we cannot comment on iPhoto as it is not one we have tested it on however we provide software called DiMAGE Viewer which will work with the camera. We have many customers using the camera with Tiger with no issues."
I then found the following Mac OS compatibility info on Konica's tech support site:
http://www.konicaminoltaphotoworld.com/kmsupport.com/Compatibility.3036.0.html?& L=0#).
To summarise, Konica state that Mac OS 10.1 - 10.3 are fully supported and limited testing has shown that 10.4 works as well. There's no mention of iPhoto compatibility. The document also mentions possible file corruption for transfers over 10 mins and issues with date and time info not being transferred to the Mac. I thought these were a tad worrying so I sent a follow-up email to Konica tech support. Here's the reply I received:
"It should work fine with Iphoto.The information regarding MAC OS X.
There can be corruptions with transfers of over 10mins but not necessarily and therefore it is recommend to split transfers and also the data and time may not be transferred correctly and these I am afraid are issues which should be resolved when newer DiMAGE Software is released, however they might not occur at all and is only a precaution."
So... it's all a bit vague. Seems like it will definitely work with OS 10.4 but you might get some of the problems mentioned above... and then again you might not! Also, in the above reply, Konica mention that these issues should be fixed in a new version of their DiMAGE software. So maybe these issues don't occur if you just use iPhoto? Who knows....
I'm still trying to decide whether the A200 is the camera for me.
Cheers,
Stuart

How do you install Camera Raw 8.3 to CS5 photoshop so I can open files ?

How do you install Camera Raw 8.3 to CS5 photoshop so I can open files? Thanks

CS5 does not support ACR 8.5, it only goes as far as 6.7.
You will need to convert your raw files to DNG format with the free converter. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html

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).

PSE 10 from Apple Store problem with camera raw 6.7 upgrade

Can't open NEF with Camera Raw from Bridge

I recently updated to CS6 and got a new Nikon D600. Downloaded the lastest DNG converter but when I pull up files in Bridge I can't open them with Camera Raw anymore. My process was to open in Bridge. Select the NEF files I wanted then click mouse+control, which gave me a menu to open in Camera Raw. Now my only option is Photoshop CS6. I downloaded the trial for Photoshop CC and Bridge CC but still can't select to open with Camera Raw.
What is going on? I have never had issues like I have been. HELP Please.

From your description it sounds as if Camera Raw isn't installed, or is installed incorrectly. In Photoshop go to Help/about plug-ins/Camera Raw and verify that you have it installed correctly. Since you are on a Mac, I cannot advise as to where it should be installed.
The other thing I have been thinking about in your situation is, how were these images downloaded from your camera?if you used an older version of Nikon Transfer it can alter the files so that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw.
Do you have other software like ViewNX2 or CaptureNX2, and will those programs open your files?

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.

How to Start With

hi all,
I am a java developer, i came across FB and FDS through my
Friend, and soon, got addicted for the latest RIA development
tools.
I downloaded the Latest Trial of both FB and FDS and try to
start things...but, i got stuck up at the initial configuration
stage itself.

site URL or sample code....so that i will start working with

Hello There,
There is plenty of stuff to start with for Adobe Flex. I will
say start searching for tutorials available online & checkout
flex developers blogs.
www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/ is the best resource available,
there are sample applications available along with the code,
different blogs are also listed there.
If you are java developer & have knowledge of Hibernate,
I would suggest start with:

Best of Luck!

PSE 9 does not come with Camera Raw 6.2?

Photosho Elements 9 does not come with camera raw 6.2
, I downloaded the trial version which came with an outdated 6.1... the only version of 6.2 is for PSE8 and does not work with PSE9 how is this possible? How can they release a product with an outdated ACR????Now we have to wait for an update to a new product???Come on people!!!

Cheap shot, Phil. Up to now, Mac users got no Organizer but a special bonus: full Bridge, full access to full featured ACR. With this version, both platforms get the same stuff -- it's less than full Photoshop/Bridge CS5, at a small fraction of the price.
I admit, as a Mac user who shoots RAW, I liked the old trade-off...but I can understand the desire to make the two products consistent. If that makes PSE "inferior" for you than you should stick with Bridge CS4/Raw 5.7, or move up to the full-featured siblings, or switch to Lightroom.

How do I download camera raw for nikon D800

How do I download camera raw for nikon D800

You need to download and install ACR 6.7, which will work with CS5 and with your D800. ACR 7.1 only works with Photoshop CS6.

Problem with Camera Raw update in Elements 11

I need to update the raw plug-in in elements 11, but when I go to the update section, I just keep getting an error message (which says server busy or might be prevented by firewall). I suspect that my firewall is stopping the updates, but I don't know how to over-ride this. Can anyone explain it please? (I have managed to 'allow' certain things on the firewall, but for this update, I don't know what I'm looking for to 'allow'!

I know nothing about Photoshop Elements. But, according to this list, Photoshop Elements can only work with Camera Raw through version 8.0.
