Instruction for camera raw (ACR)

I recently started to shootraw with Nikon 7000. When I open NEF files, it prompts camera raw (ACR).
I see a lot of new parameters, like Fill light, Recovery, etc.
When I looked up Photoshop Help, I could not find information on the use of ACR.
I have no idea what Recovery or Fill light is used for.
Where should I look for the instruction?

I open Photoshop Help, type in camera raw into the search box, check the [ ] Adobe reference only box, and hit return. I get all kinds of Camera Raw documentation, including Open images in Camera Raw. This seems like a good starting point and has the link Work with Camera Raw in it.

Did your Adobe Community Help tool not turn this up?
This looks like a good top level links page:

As far as using the individual sliders... Just move them around and see what they do visually.

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100. Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass? When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening. If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS. I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
Thanks for ideas.

This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Jpeg Files and Metadata

I have been using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) with my Canon EOS 30D, an 8 MP camera, for a while now. I would make non-destructive changes to the raw file (.CR2) in ACR where the changes would be stored in an adjoining .xmp file. Jpegs of the unedited and edited camera raw files would be created so I have a before and after versions of the images that can be viewed anywhere.
Now I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, a 22 MP camera and the raw files are much larger. I’m looking at using camera raw on jpeg files for some for my more casual photo shoots in order to save disk space. From what I have read, I can use ACR on jpeg files and that the changes would be stored in the metadata in the jpeg file. Is there a way for the changes to be stored in an adjoining .xmp file so that the original jpeg file is not modified, much like it is done with the .CR2 files?
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 machine. All software is up-to-date.
Also, I have found that Adobe’s camera raw handing is different than the raw handling of the photos using Canon’s software (DPP). Is there a way to make ACR closer to what Canon’s software does?
Thanks,
Mike

Probably not going to happen.
I agree, Canon's color is better than Adobe's in general - I just didn't know how good the Camera Standard profile might be for your particular camera. I had hoped maybe they'd made it a very close match.
Some time ago I got a very nice genius-level Camera Raw forum member named Vit to make me a custom profile that exactly matches the Canon color for my 40D, even to the point of emulating the way Canon fits the entire gamut of the captured image into the sRGB color space, so I'm more than happy.
Others might tell you that you're silly for wanting the color to match, but I understand completely your position - if you do get that kind of feedback just ignore it and push on.
Once you've set up a default to use Camera Standard, you may well be able to tweak the dozens of color controls to bring the Adobe default into line with the Canon color. I did that once before getting my special 40D profile, comparing embedded raw file JPEGs with the Camera Raw preview display with a variety of images - it was tedious but effective.
Best of luck.

How can I get the 6.3 plug in for camera raw?

I got a new laptop, and when I went to bridge for the first time to view some pictures, It was telling me it didn't support the RAW format, so now I can't view any of my pictures. I did some reserch and found I need the 6.3 plug in, but can't find the download link anywhere?

If you are using CS5, you should use the last version applicable to CS5, for all the latest features and bug fixes, which was Camera Raw 6.7.1. You can get it here:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
If you want to know more, read this for background:

I have PE11 I try PE12 When update for Camera raw is ok for my Nikon D610 ?

I have PE11 I try PE12 When update for Camera raw is ok for my Nikon D610 ?

Support for Nikon D610 is added is ACR 8.3 only. Hopefully it would be available for PSE12.
If you want to use your Nikon D610 raw files with ACR in PSE11, you can instead use adobe camera raw convertor to convert your raw files to .DNG format.
You can download ACR 8.3 convertor from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-3.html?PID=5157839

I am looking for Camera RAW for Elements 11 for a Nikon D610

Does anyone have the link for Camera RAW for Elements 11 for a Nikon D610?

According to the Adobe Supported Camera List - a D610 needs ACR 8.3:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
According to the Adobe Apps list, ACR 8.3 only works with PSE12:
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
So either upgrade your PSE to 12, or use the DNG Converter 8.3 or 8.4, to convert the NEFs to DNGs that PSE11 can read. The DNG Converter can be found, here:

How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.

Still Looking for Camera Raw Plug-In for CS4

I have Adobe CS4, and, after extensive searching, cannot find the correct version of the Camera Raw plug-in for my Mac (OS 10.6.8). I just did successfully download and install the DNG converter 8.1 for Macs. Today I downloaded version 5.4 for mac then it told me to quit before proceeding with the installation, that there was a newer version available. Adobe states my camera's minimum requirement for Camera Raw is version 5.4.
file://localhost/Users/Cea/Desktop/Adobe%20Camera%20Raw%20cannot%20install%20message.tiff
Can anyone guide me to the right one? Camera Raw only been a dream until now. I finally have a great DSLR that supports raw, I've been playing around with it in iPhoto, but it's now time for me to take this to the next level.
Thanks very much.

Ask such specific questions on the Camera RAW or Photoshop forums and include info about your camera. If it's a newer model, this may ber perfectly normal and the files may require you to upgrade to CS5.1 so you can use the latest versions of Camera RAW or use the standalone DNG converter...

How to use the update mechanism in Photoshop CS10 for Camera Raw?

Good Evenning!
I would like to open .NEF files with Adobe Photoshop CS10 (RAW for Nikon D5200) but my version of Camera Raw is too old.
I need at least the 7.3 version.
When I try to download it, I have this message: Please use the update mechanism in Photoshop CS10 for Camera Raw. But how?? When I go to "Help" tab, to "Updates", it says that no update available.
Can please someone help me?
Thanks a lot!!
Kinds Regards
Vanessa

Which version of photoshop or photoshop elements are you using?
Which operating system?
There is no such version as cs10.
Do you mean photoshop shop elements 10?
If you go to Help>About Photoshop Elements (windows) or Photoshop Elements Editor>About Photoshop Elements (mac), that should tell you which version you have.

Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

There will be no further camera support updates for Lightroom 4 beyond what is already listed in this table.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Only current versions of Lightroom (currently Lightroom 5.3) will have further camera support added.
If you need to work with Raw files from new cameras you'll either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or join the Photoshop Photography Program (to get PC CC + LR5 + extras) or convert to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter.

How do I get the 7.3 plug in for Camera Raw for PSC6?

How do I get the 7.3 plug in for Camera Raw to be used with the Canon Powershot G15 for PSCS6?

Normally you should just have to do Help - Updates from Photoshop's menus to get the latest Camera Raw (and all other updates).
Is this not working for you?

Script for Camera Raw Catch

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate my script for opening files in Photoshop to catch if no Camera Raw settings have been done to the file yet. Currently, I open files using a droplet that applies my actions and preferences to the files so when I start working all of my layers and adjustments have been added. The problem I run into is that sometimes files that haven't had Camera Raw adjustments made sneak into my workflow. I want to create a script that catches this, gives me an alert that files haven't had their color adjustments yet. I've done a lot of reading forums, but most out there is to pull the data for creating files, or to enter the data, none for camera raw data directly.
I've tried a normal try { app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData.match(/<crs:HasSettings>/)[1] with a catch error, but I think this isn't the correct call out for catching the issue as it doesn't catch whether or not the crs data is there.
Any feedback is welcome! Thanks!
