Image resolution in Camera Raw

Hello.
How can I permanentely change the default image resolution from 240 ppi to 300 ppi in the Camera Raw 6.0 window (in CS5)? Every time I open a new raw it switches back to 240.
Thank you.

In my experience that setting should stick.
Have you repaired permissions and performed other system maintenance recently?

  • More Usable Image Detail - Adobe Camera Raw Beats Canon DPP

    Let me start with a question:
    When you do your raw conversions, do you convert to an image that's got the same number of pixels as your camera's imager has photosites?
    If so, why?  I ask because I'm convinced that - with modern software - to get the most usable detail out of a raw image one should convert directly to an upsampled size.  You might think that in trying to get "more megapixels from the same camera" I'm just fooling myself, but again and again when I look at the problem of maximizing the output from existing equipment (which, face it, is everyone's goal, no matter how good the equipment) I keep seeing that there is an advantage to selecting from the upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw.  Of course, the computer must be up to handling the additional data.
    In actual terms, my Canon 40D has 3888 x 2592 photosites (plus some guard pixels around the edges) making 10 megapixels, yet I find converting to 6144 x 4096 (25 megapixels) to be advantageous - ESPECIALLY when I use my sharpest lenses.
    I happened to be doing a head to head comparison between Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Canon 50mm f/1.4 lenses, and the difference between the two appeared pretty subtle - UNTIL I converted to the aforementioned upsampled resolution, and then the more expensive f/1.4 lens clearly stepped ahead.  There was simply extra detail I hadn't been seeing clearly at the native pixel size of the camera's imager, but which stood out clearly at the larger size.
    This reaffirmed my previous observations that conversion directly to upsampled resolutions in Camera Raw brings out additional detail.
    This screen grab shows part of the converted image, as produced by DPP and Camera Raw, both at 6144 x 4096 pixels as produced by the converters and displayed at 100% zoom.  Note that the detail (e.g., in the terrain) is finer and more real looking in the Camera Raw conversion, while the DPP image seems to have more sharpening artifacts.
    If you're interested in experimenting to see how much detail you can lift out of this same image, the raw file is here:

    I don't have a copy of any other converters, for example Capture 1, to see how they'd do.

    I hope that Noel will offer results that compare the Canon RAW in ACR with both resolutions as well.
    Not sure I follow you completely...  Just to be clear, can you lay out what "both resolutions" means?  I'll be more than happy to go through different processes and present comparison images - I just want to be sure I understand just what you're asking for.
    Oh, and you're right - some subjectivity necessarily will appear here.  I might just like the "look" of one process while you prefer the "look" of another.
    Lastly, one of my workflows involves sharpening images with my own fractal sharpening actions, and I am testing to see which converter process output produces the best result from that as well.
    -Noel
    I had to read that twice to make sure I knew what it meant!
    What I am trying to say is to show the results of both converters in the native resolution and the 25M upsampled.resolution.
    On another note, I have been playing around with the details of noise and sharpening in DXO and ACR, looking at 300%. It's both good and bad. If you are willing to mess with the ACR settings at 300%, then ACR has the edge, even comparing to manual tweaks in DXO. They do correctly optimize, however, except that point isn't as good as ACR. The depressing point is all the tweaking to do on an individual basis. Can you imagine tweaking 100 or more images that way? Then you get to move over to other corrections.
    We are splitting tiny hairs here, and the bottom line is if you are going to make 30x40 prints from a given file, you may want to use ACR all the way and bite the bullet. If the Auto corrections for the lens employed in ACR is well done, as it seems for my Nikon 18 to 105, the workload is relaxed.
    Finally, the ACR corrected image will need final sharpening at higher values than the DXO, and at that point, they come together a bit more...sharpening anomalys and all that.
    The final fuss levels takes me back to my 8x10 days, where these kinds of determinations (max quality level) takes place under the focusing cloth, and deliberate selection of POV is carefully considered. Today, it's in front of the monitor. But instead of a few sheets of film to process, we have 100's to do.
    I thoroughly enjoy working with the files on the computer, but not so much having to deal with less than optimum technical details right out of the camera. Barrel distortion? Hasselblad was not satisfied with the "normal" corrections in it's general optics, which were damn good, so came out with the 100mm Planar that was awesome! All they gave up was max aperture, and picked the FL at a value that provided for the best corrections. So I recall anyway.
    Why should we be required to do these kinds of post corrections? Digital editing involves throwing away information, and ther appears to be enough so that correcting these deficiencies still gives a wonderful image. Just imagine what it would be like if all you need to do is to open the file and adjust values to taste, with all that information density available exclusively for that part. You don't even need to use a focusing magnifier!
    Gotta run!

  • Images open in camera raw 4.6, not Photoshop?

    Since I downloaded & installed camera raw 4.6 to deal with raw images from my Nikon D90 I have had the following problem with Photoshop cs4 (on XP + SP3).
    Any images I open from within bridge or Picasa or directly from windows explorer get opened in Adobe Raw 4.6. From their I have to open image to get it into photoshop. This applies to all images, jpg, gif, tiff, psd etc.
    I've looked at the file associations & made sure photoshop is selected & I've tried open with & browsed to the photoshop directory & selecting the photoshop.exe file but always they open with the adobe raw.
    How do I get this set back to default so that all regular images open in photoshop & raw images open in camera raw?
    Lastly I tried deleting thus ressetting my prefferances, no good.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Camera RAW for CS4 is 5.3

  • How do you crop outside the image in Adobe Camera Raw?

    I would like to create a crop of a portion of an image in Adobe Camera Raw AND include some area outside that image. Is there a way to do this.

    You can't do that in ACR, but you can if you open it in Photoshop and use the crop tool there.

  • Color - Shine - background column of panels, contour line of tools and image area in Camera RAW

    Is there any way to change - obscure - the brightness of the column trim panels and the outline of the image area in Camera Raw?.
    In ACR 8.4 can change the brightness of the background image area - as in Ps - but can not find how to do the rest, and the truth is that it is a problem, since the image is darker than actual because of the brightness of the surrounding areas. Ideally there would be neutral gray .....
    If you see an image in Bridge, having selected dark backgrounds for both the preview area and the various windows - thumbnails , metadata, folders , etc. - , as if we see in Ps with the same type of configuration (something Ps presents with dark background both in the area of image and layered windows , settings , menus, tools, etc ....) , we will see the picture clearer than in ACR , ie , if we develop a RAW file in ACR, especially if you have dark areas - eg night photographs - , end up leaving it more clear what is right, because of the contrast - glare - with the brightness of the area surrounding the image window , but I can not check until we go to Photoshop or return to Bridge. 
    So .... Is there any way to write the ACR window looking like Bridge or Photoshop ?. Is there a way to darken those areas (as there is in Bridge or Photoshop)? 
    If not, is something that developers should think about going ACR implemented with an update .....  
    (Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question ..... If not, I pray you tell me where to)  
    Thank you very much and kind regards

    It took a long time to bring a dark UI to Photoshop & Bridge...sparked in part by Lightroom's dark UI. But, dealing with custom UI in plug-ins is a slightly different problem...I would like to see a dark UI as well. But it boils down to feature triage...given X number of engineer hours per version, what features are top most in the must haves...the elves on ACR are always working on new things. Hopefully a UI revamp (not just dark UI but also configurable panels and some other niceties) will rise to the top of the list.
    One advantage of the new CC subscription model is that new features don't have to wait till some arbitrary major version number. New things can get added as they get done. Hopefully this will free up the ACR engineers to do some cool new things, sooner rather than later!

  • "Save image" button of Camera Raw does not save JPEG with modifications made.

    I am using Bridge CC to process my RAW images and make modifications to some JPEG images as well.  I have no need to further alter images in Photoshop at the moment, so I do all modifications in Camera Raw. After altering my images, I then press the "save image" button at the left bottom corner of Camera Raw and choose the settings to save in JPEG.  However, when I upload these JPEG images to a website or when I email them, the image is uploaded without the modifications I had done!  It seems to me that Camera Raw is saving JPEGs the same way it does for RAW images, in a non-destructive manner, only attaching instructions for the images to be displayed properly on Photoshop. But when I save an image in JPEG, I expect the image to be saved entirely with the modifications I made while still keeping the original RAW file.  What goes on then?  What is Camera Raw doing and how do I get to save a modified image in JPEG with Camera Raw?  Would you please explain?
    Many thanks for your help,

    Hi,
    What version of camera raw and operating system are you using?

  • I can not open a crw image in photoshop camera Raw.

    When I go to open a CRW Image in CS5,Bridge It will not open.It says Could not complite your request because it is not the right kind of document.Need help bad.
    PS How do I tell what version of Camera Raw I have.By the way I have a Canon EOS 10D camera.Thanks.

    Within Photoshop go to the "About Plug-in…" menu item just below "About Photoshop" to find the Camera Raw version number.  On which menu that is depends on your platform, Macintosh or Windows, which you neglected to mention.
    Raw files from your camera have been supported since version 2.0 of Camera Raw for years and years, so it's not a question of your version of ACR.  Any version of ACR that runs in CS5 should open those files.
    I suspect your raw files are damaged (corrupted).

  • Picture appears white (cannot see the image) when using camera raw filter in photoshop cc

    I have a fresh install of Photoshop CC on my macbook.  I am running into an issue when editing an image in Photoshop cc and using the camera raw filter.  If I choose the camera raw filter camera raw opens up but all I see is white - the picture is not showing within the camera raw interface.  This happens whenever I am working on a layer and apply the camera raw filter.  The only time it works is when I do not have any layers but only the image as it comes directly from within camera raw - then it works fine.  I'm guessing there is something really basic I am missing but it is maddening!

    You are welcome.
    The Camera RAW filter will not work on an adjustment layer alone. Select the layer with the image and the adjustment layer and convert to a smart object to apply the Camera RAW filter to the image with the adjustment layer applied.

  • Cannot Open a JPEG image as a Camera Raw file in Elements 5.0

    I tried opening a JPEG image, using "Open As" function into Camera Raw in Elements 5.0 Editor and I receive a "program error" message. How can I change settings or otherwise enable Elements 5.0 to open a JPEG into Camera Raw?

    The latest version of ACR which is compatibe with Elements 5 is ACR4.6. You can download it fromhttp://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4034&fileID=3758
    I think the Adobe site says 4.5 was the last forElements 5, but I know 4.6 works.  ACR5 needs Elements 7(or possibly 6). Good luck

  • Batch of images opened in Camera Raw appearing out of sequence

    Hello!
    I'm using Photomechanic to select groups of images that I then want to adjust in Camera Raw. If I select 15 or so images, they do not appear in Camera Raw as per numerical sequence, but in some kind of random order, which makes adjusting take longer since similar images are not appearing together.
    I'd like the images to appear in order as per sequence number. How can I fix this?
    I'm using photoshop cs6 and a mac oxs10.6.8.
    Thanks!

    Usually, overall yellow/warm casts can be easily and quickly reduce or
    eliminated by bumping the White Balance's Temperature slider down a little
    bit (e.g., from 4500 K to 4300 K).
    Eric
    Jim, thanks for your reply.  I think this will help me.  I also upgraded to
    Camera RAW 5.4, and there appear to be some more profile options, such as
    Adobe Standard.  It looks like this works pretty well.  I will have to do some
    more testing at a later time with the CR defaults as well.

  • Is there any way to have an image open in Camera Raw from the Organizer as I did in Bridge?

    I am just trying out PSE 9 as an upgrade from my PSE 8. I have been able to open jpeg files in Camera Raw right from Bridge. I seem unable to do this in Organizer and, since not all of my photos are in raw, I use this feature a lot. Is it possible to open a jpeg file by double clicking on the thumbnail as I presently do?

  • When opening an image in Adobe Camera Raw in CC, the image is solid red

    The image is solid red and not my image. I have been working on an image and several layers of work done on things like white balance, color cast.  When I add a CAL I cant get to ACR at all. If im on the previous CAL I can open in ACR but with the red image.   I am on a Mac 10.8.5 Have the latest version of CC installed. Help!
    An hour later I went back and on a copy of my Background layer, I opened the image in ACR.  So what are the parameters of ACR that I don't understand?

    You can't do that in ACR, but you can if you open it in Photoshop and use the crop tool there.

  • Save Image(s) from Camera Raw 5.4

    I think it might be useful to add a note to the 5.4 release notes re the ACR Save button: that some heretofore persistent choices in the Save Options dialog box will be reset to defaults (assume because of the new DNG compatibility conversion options).

  • Camera Raw Resolution

    Hello Everyone.
    I shoot with Canon 5D, And By Default the Resolution of Raw Photos are:  240 dpi and the Image size Is 5616 By 3744
    When I watch some Tutorials on Camera Raw, I noticed the Instructor Is using the same camera I have 5D, But The Resolution Of His Raw shots are 300 dpi  Inside the camera Raw.
    I personally like to use my original  Image size without Up-Resing the original Resolution In Camera Raw, and Inside PhotoShop If I want to send my Image for the Print, Then I change the Resolution to 300, And Inside the Image size I Uncheck the Resample Box. What I am trying to understand Is, If you choose 300 Resolution Inside the Camera Raw, since the Image is a Raw Shot, Is It Ok,
    Thanks.

    The resolution you set in Camera Raw's workspace has no effect on the rendering of the converted image. It just attaches metadata to the image. The pixel dimensions of the image are unchanged.
    All DPI (or PPI) does is tell an application the intended physical dimensions of a print or digital display.  E.G., a 1200pixel image should be rendered 4 inches long at 300dpi, and 6 inches long at 200dpi. Applications and their users are quite at liberty to change or ignore the DPI altogether, without any effect on the image.
