It's Shipping -- Real World Camera Raw for CS3

Folks,
Just a quick ping to let you know that Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS3 is shipping. I got my copy today (but hey, I'm the co-author, I'm supposed to get mine early).
:~)
I've done a story on PhotoshopNews.com about the book shipping and a feature story about the printing of the book.
See:
It's Shipping--Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS3
and...
Printing RWCR CS3
Now, back to your regularly scheduled programing....

> but the part about DNG has convinced me to dive deeper in it and give it a go
When working in a Bridge/Camera Raw/Photoshop workflow, I tend to ingest the actual native raw files, do initial selects and gross edits and basic metadata work via templates and THEN do the conversion to DNG. I'll use the DNG as my working files and the original raws as an archive. I tend to do this more with studio shoots. I tend to use Lightroom when I'm on the road.
When working in Lightroom first, I tend to ingest and convert to DNG upon ingestion (when in the road working on a laptop) while using the backup copyusually working on a pair of external FW drives one for working DNG files and 1 for BU of the original raws. Then, when I get back to the studio I make sure I write to XMP and export the new shoot as a catalog and import into my studio copy of Lightroom. Then I'll also cache the newly imported images in Bridge as well so I can get at the image either in Bridge or Lightroom.
It's a bit of a chore now since I do work in Camera Raw a lot (well, DOH, I had to to do the book!) but I also keep all my digital files in a Lightroom catalog which is now up to about 74K...
Then, depending on what I'll need to do, I'll either work out of LR or Bridge/Camera Raw...
If I'm doing a high-end final print, I generally process out of Camera Raw as a Smart Object and stack multiple layers of CR processed images...if I'm working on a batch of images I'll work out of Lightroom since the workflow seems to suit me better.
In either event, I've found DNG to be better than native raws with sidecar files.

DNG Converter/ Camera Raw for CS3 (D3000)

1. I have a Nikon D3000
2. I have CS3
3. I took 3 graduation pictures and set of engagement pics in RAW
4. I am trying to convert them so I can open them up in CS3 because naturally Raw files cannot open up in CS3. I downloaded MULTIPLE DNG convertors. From recent to not so recent. On all of them I am able to see the menu....but right when i click select files ALL of my .nef pics are grey and unclickable.
PLEASE HELP ME. I am miserable using other peoples computer.
SIDENOTE: I tried to also put camera raw on CS3 . I put the correct version for my camera and it still didn't work. My main goal is to use Camera Raw for editing.
once again...please help

To add to what Noel has said...
The DNG Converter is a standalone program that you run off Start -> All Programs -> Adobe -> DNG Converter.
The DNG Converter operates on entire folders at once so there are no thumbnails involved.
Once you have converted all the NEFs to DNGs in a particular folder using the DNG Converter, you could still have problem seeing the NEFs if your camera RAW is too new, as it sounds like you might have done.
To fix this, please re-install (manually copy?) the Camera RAW plug-in back to the highest version number that is compatible with CS3, which would be 4.6:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
Check to see what version of Camera RAW you have by going into Photoshop and choosing Help / About Plug-ins... / Camera RAW (and make sure there is only one instances of Camera RAW listed).
Unless you update to CS4 or CS5 that can work with the NEFs, directly, when viewing the folder in Bridge, you will always see gray NEF icons for the original RAW files, but you should see thumbnails for the DNGs you've converted.
If might be good that when you convert NEFs to DNGs that you put the DNGs into a subfolder of the NEFs, so you don't have half your thumbnails being gray NEFs.

Real World Camera Raw CS4 File Access

Hi,
I recently purchased a copy of Jeff Schewe's Camera Raw book for CS4. One reason among many that I purchased the book was to work through the example files in the book that are available on the website.
For some reason I am having trouble downloading the files. The problem I am experiencing is an access problem. When asked for the user name and password I can get to the page where the downloadable files are located. But once there, when I go to download individual files it keeps aksing me for the login information and even though I am providing the same login information, it denies me access.
I left two emails for the website sponsor but received no reply. Has anyone else had this problem and if so do you know the solution to getting passed this obstace?
Thanks,
John Arnold

The download column has *two* links for all but two of the image items. There is a graphic with DNG, that appears for each item, and under the graphics are descriptive texts such as "19.14 MB zipped DNG file." I've found that clicking on the text, not the graphic above the text, will work. Sometimes I still get the login panel. I click Cancel to the login panel and am able to continue with the dialog.
Net: Click on the text in the download column, not the DNG graphic.
The graphic and text links for action downloads are the same, as are the first image download (_MG_4472) and VB7J979.

Camera Raw for CS3

I have just installed CS3 Bridge on my Windows PC system. I already have Photoshop CS2 and Bridge CS2 installed.
How can I tell if I have the latest version of Camera Raw installed in CS3 Bridge and Photoshop CS2?
This is not helpful:
"How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
A: For Photoshop CS2 and CS3 customers the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the Updates option from the help menu. The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly."

Just download it.
Even if you were able to locate it on the disc it would be an older version. Be sure to follow the installation instructions. The plug-in has to be in the precise folder outlined in those instructions. If that folder doesn't exist for some reason, it will be necessary for you to create the folder(s).

Nikon D3S Camera RAW for CS3

Just obtained a Nikon D3S and I am having difficulty finding the link to download Camera RAW into CS3

For CS3 I think Camera Raw 4 would be the relevant one and your camera does not seem to be on the list:

DNG Converter should be available here:

Real World Camera Raw download files?

I was able to download only the first of the files for Jeff Schewe's book, and then the website asked me to reenter the login and password again. I entered the same ones that allowed me to download the first file and now it does not recognize them? Anyone else have the same problemor an answer? Perhaps Jeff can help me out here.

Which edition of the book?
The current RWCRCS4 login is different than the old RWCRCS3 book. As for the CS4 book, I just double checked and the login and password from the book works...try purging your browser cache.

I can't open canon .CR2 files in Adope camera raw in CS3

When i want to open my .CR2 file from my Canon camera 40D into bridge or photoshop CS3 it does not open it and it can't recognize the file in some way. My computer is working with windows vista. I really need help as i dont know why it is not doing it. Thanks

Distilling the Tech Note down, essentially you can't open .CR2 files in CS3. I think CS4 is the first version that has .CR2 compatibility. One option that doesn't involve upgrading to CS4 is to download the free Adobe DNG converter and convert your .CR2 files to .dng. Then you can open them in CS3.
No, that isn't right. The Canon 40D was supported in at least the last version of Camera Raw for CS3. There are a few things you need to verify.
1. In Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw in the list. It will tell you what version you have installed. You should have Camera Raw 4.6 listed, and it should only be listed once. If there are additional listings then you have a problem. Camera Raw will now work.
2. Get the download instructions from the Adobe download website and make sure Camera Raw is installed in the right folder. It must be that specific folder, and there can be no other versions of Camera Raw in the Adobe file structure.
3. Are you able to see your raw images in Bridge? If not, then there is something wrong with your installation.
Check these things out and make sure everything is set up properly. Then maybe we can help you further.

Camera raw for sony alpha 7 and PS 5

HI
I am an amateur photographer and am very happy in my little PS5 world. I do not want to commit to PS6 and the CC and a lifetime of fees. I am, unfortunately, thinking about getting the sony alpha 7. It is unclear to me if camera raw 6.7 will support it. I have read 2 different answers on the internet
I love camera raw in PS. If I can't open these images in PS, can I do it in lightroom? Does lightroom have a nice camera raw? (I am using camera raw 6.3 and it is wonderful.)
Is there any easy answer for a very casual photographer who cannot justify the cost of monthly program fees?
thanks!

The Alpha 7 wasn't supported until Camera Raw 8.3 at the end of last year. ACR 8.3 only works in CS6/CC.
I recommend using the latest available version of Camera Raw for each version of CS, which in your case (CS5) is 6.7.1. The latest versions are usually the best, fixing the most bugs and containing refinements missing from earlier versions.
The cheapest way to carry on with CS5 is to download Adobe DNG Converter, and batch-convert folders of your Alpha files to DNG. It's an extra step after downloading your images, but it's free.
Camera Raw 6.7.1 and DNG Converter 8.6 are both available from the downloads section of the Adobe website. Please note that you may need DNG Converter 8.3 if you are still running CS5 on XP/Vista or (Snow-) Leopard.
Photoshop Lightroom is designed by the same team which writes Camera Raw and uses very similar programming. Consequently, it works in a similar way to Camera Raw (with Bridge) and is updated at the same time—following its version numbering by a increment of 3 (currently Lightroom 5.6). You could buy Lightroom and use it to import and convert your raw files without using DNG Converter and Camera Raw. It's a Marmite thing: some people love it, some don't. You can probably download a free trial and find out for yourself. Once you have converted your images in Lightroom, you can export them to Photoshop CS5 for editing.

Camera raw for Sony A7

I havw Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and need update camera raw for Sony A7? Where can I find it?

Support for the A7 was added in the latest version of Camera Raw 8.3 back in December. Adobe only updates shipping products so you’d need to upgrade to PSE12:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
An alternative is to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to create DNGs from your ARWs, one folder at a time. The DNGs will have the added information that older versions of the ACR plug-in need to open the files.
You can find the DNG Converter on the general Adobe updates page:

Camera Raw for Elements 7 enabling use of Nikon D7000

I use Elements 7 with Camera Raw 4.5 I now wish to edit RAW
images from a Nikon D7000. How do I go about obtaining the r
elevant Camera Raw download for use with Elements 7 which will enable me to view and process
Nikon D7000 RAW images?

The last version of Adobe Camera RAW that PSE7 will work with is ACR 5.6, and that does not support the newer D7000.
Either buy PSE9, or download the latest DNG Converter 6.3 and convert your NEFs to DNGs and open those with the older ACR.
You can get the downloads for both ACR 5.6 and the DNG Convert 6.3 by going to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and using the dropdown at the top to find Camera RAW for your computer type. If you update Camera RAW then be sure to use the PSE-specific instructions on the page or in the readme. The DNG Converter is a standalone program that operates on an entire folder of RAWs at a time.

You simply run the updater. if there is a newer version, it will be installed. Other than that 4.2 is the latest release version, 4.3 is currently in the final testing stages and can be downloaded from the Adobe Labs pages.

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.

My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

You would need Camera Raw 7.3 or later to open those files. Adobe is not going to update CS4. You can either get a newer version of Photoshop that comes with a current version of Camera Raw, or you can use the DNG converter to save your files down to the ACR version that works with CS4.

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.
