Lagging Crop in Camera RAW

When cropping in Camera RAW, dragging the crop box is very slow and laggy, but it wasn't always this way. It used to be fast and responsive. I've tried clearing PS preferences, clearing Camera RAW cache, increasing Camera RAW cache, and none of this fixes the problem.

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio. DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

I'm trying to do a batch crop in camera raw and there is no dropdown option in the crop tool to select inches or pixels. How can I fix this?

Create an action to do the crop and user the image processor to batch process your RAW files and have it use your cropping action in the process.

Canon CR2 raw images are forcibly cropped by Camera Raw

I posted this on the Photoshop Discussion as I did not realise that Camera Raw has its own - sorry folks!
Camera raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
Thanks
Gor

Oh can I, thanks . I couldn't see a way to open a tiff in ACR - It only opens when I drag a Raw image into ps6, and it has no file>open to allow me to open a tiff. In fact it is a rather strange piece of software - it doesn't seem to exist on its own (not as part of production suite anyway).
This would be a work-around for sure if you could tell me how to do it??
UPDATE
FOr anyone else with this problem you can force ps6 to open all tiffs in ACR with a setting in preferences in RAW - automatically open all tiffs. It is still a bit of a pain as i dont really want to automatically open them all, but hey!

Crop Ratio Camera Raw / Scott Kelby Book for Digital Photographers

From the Book of Scot Kelby regarding the Camera Raw usage.
- The Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 Book for Digital Photographers
Chapter 2. WWF Raw: The Essentials of Camera Raw > Cropping and Straightening
If you reopen your cropped photo again in Camera Raw, you’ll see the cropped version. To bring back the cropping border, just click on the Crop tool. To remove the cropping altogether, press the Esc or Delete (PC: Backspace) key on your keyboard (or choose Clear Crop from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu). If you want your photo cropped to an exact size (like 8×10″, 13×19″, etc.), choose Custom from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu to bring up the dialog you see here. You can choose to crop by inches, pixels, or centimeters.
In this topic Scott Kelby is explaining Crop Ratio for ACR 7.x
In this version there is the possibility for Crop Ratio to Inches, CM and Pixels. However with the Newer version this option is no longer available.
Hopefully this will safe some of you the time looking for this.

Precisely what Conrad Chavez says: a very good change.

Straighten and crop in Camera RAW

If I am having difficulty in Camera RAW if I straighten a photo and then try to crop it.
I place the line to straighten the photo and then I hit enter to complete the straightening. If I then click on crop, the image returns to the state before I hit enter after straightening it.
How does one both straighten and crop in in Camera RAW?

When the crop tool is active it will show you the original image with the crop tool outline within. If you open the image or click on the magnifying glass it will apply the crop so you won't see the part around the crop border.
Try this technique on an image that needs straightening (Note: Photoshop CS5):
1. Choose the Straighten tool, and drag a horizontal or vertical line. When you release the mouse button you'll immediately see the crop tool activate
2. Click outside the crop tool border and move the mouse. The crop border will rotate for fine tuning, and you can drag the corners to change the crop.
3. Turn it so that what's inside the crop will be straight.
4. Click on another tool besides Crop (e.g., the Magnifying Glass) to check the result.
5. If there's something wrong, go back to the Crop tool and adjust the outline.

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

Hi Kglad.
I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
here is the new tutorial for CC - my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings
Cropping Images In Adobe Camera Raw 8

When opening an image Photoshop Elements 12 is opening it in Camera Raw, it is not a RAW image and it is cropped How do I uncrop the opened image?

When I am opening a .jpg image not an actual raw camera image from Elements 12 it is being opened as a camera Raw image and the image is cropped, I can't find anyway to get the image to uncrop or zoom out so that the entire image is visible so that I can actually edit it to something that is useable. The images were taken with an iPad and copied I suspect using the organizer from Elements 11 but I can't be sure. If I could just uncrop the opened image so that the entire image is visible this would not be a big deal.
Is there a way to uncrop the image that is being opened by Camera Raw? Am I going to have to get my hands on the source of the images (the iPad) and copy the images again using explorer and not let them be copied with the organizer?

Uncheck the boxes at the bottom of the dialog Scale styles and resample Image so that only constrain proportions is checked. If you the change the resolution box from 240 to 300 you will get back to your original dimensions.
This is a meaningless thing to do, you still have the exact same number of pixels, you have only changed the metadata number in the file for ppi, and your prints are not affected by this number.
You could also use the same method to change the dimensions to 6 x 4 or 9 x 6 etc.
There are some cases (actually most cases) where you need to CROP the photo to change the dimensions, when the aspect ratio of the original photos is different than the aspect ratio of the final photo; the specific case in 99jon's example is the only case you ever want to change dimensions using Image->Resize->Image Size, where the aspect ratio doesn't change from 6x4 to 9x6 (or 12x8 or 18x12 or ...), and even then, you could do the same thing simply by telling the printer the size you want, you don't really need to do anything in PSE.

No Crop tool in Adobe Camera Raw, have updated to 8.7 but still not there, how do I get full tool panel please?

Hi, I have the $9.99 Adobe CC package but in Camera Raw I do not have the full tool bar, went to Adobe site and downloaded Camera Raw 8.7 but still not there, I have Windows 7 on PC. Please can anyone help. Thanks.

Yes, in the camera-raw preferences you can set ACR to open as a plug-in when editing TIFs or JPGs. There are three settings -- paraphrasing: Don’t, Open all, and Open those with settings. You would want to set JPG’s setting to Open All at least temporarily.
Of course you can also use PS to crop, right?

Adobe Camera Raw - Cancel a crop or straighten - ESC not working

Hey Guys,
I am trying to learn photoshop for the first time. I currently have Photoshop CS5.1, but am thinking about upgrading to CC in the near future. I have been following along with tutorials on Lynda.com in order to learn all of the functionality of the program.
I am currently in the section learning about Adobe Camera RAW and how to utilize it. The instructor was talking about using the straighten tool or crop tool and how it is not destructive to the image at all. He says to click on either tool and then hit the ESC key to revert the changes that you made. However, when I do this, it exits me out of Adobe Camera RAW all together. I thought initially that it might be because I was in full screen mode, but i hit the F key and tried it again with the same outcome.
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I just messed with it further tonight. It looks like it is working correctly with the 'Crop' tool. However, it is not working correct with the Straighten tool. I use the straighten tool, click enter to straighten the image. If the image does not look correct to me, I click on the straighten tool again and hit the ESC key to revert it back to the original. As soon as I hit the ESC key (while clicked on the straighten tool) it closes out of Adobe Camera RAW and goes back to Adobe Bridge.
Which operating system are you using?
I am using OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite)
Which version of camera raw are you using?
I am on Adobe Camera RAW Ver. 6.7
Both Photoshop and Bridge are CS5.1
You can see the version listed at the top of the camera raw dialog when not in full screen mode.

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.

Camera Raw 7.0.3 pixel crop vs. upgrade 8.0.3 ratio crop (pixel/inches crop removed)

Greeting all,
I just updated my Photoshop CS 6 camera RAW to 8.0.3 from 7.0.3.
I can no longer have the ability to custom crop by pixel anymore. WTF
Am I missing something?
I have a job coming up where I need to edit/crop over 9000 event images for a client.
300 x 240 @300dpi
600 x 400@ 300dpi
1800 x1100 @ 300dpi
1920x1080 @150dpi
1024x768 @96
It used to be so easy, Whay did Adobe remove this simple feature.
Now it's going to take 2x as long for this.
To deal with this will I have to reinall CS6, I already have the standalone ACR 7.0.3.
The cameras are older and older ACR support is fine.
Brian

> I just updated my Photoshop CS 6 Camera Raw to 8.0.3 ...
So you updated to a version that doesn't exist.
> ... from 7.0.3.
... from a version that doesn't exist either.
> To deal with this will I have to reinstall CS6 ...
All it takes to switch from one Camera Raw version to another is to swap a single file (the Camera Raw.8bi file). But hen, who would want to revert to an older version? The latest version has more features, not less. See the workflow options.

PS Camera Raw is forcing a crop on CR2 files. Can I stop this?

Thanks, the fact is that it doesnt ignore the crop - it forces it and removes the data outside the crop. This is a known issue that Adobe do not seem to have addressed, and there seems to be a work-around in lightroom using a plug-in, but apparently not for ACR.
I have now found out how to work in ACR in tiffs, whcih is OK, although at 120MB per pic it is very space hungry, but I was hoping to get the cropping and any rotation done before converting to tiffs in the belief that the fewer times you process the actual pixels in an image the better. Is this true, is it better to roatate in RAW before converting, or rotate in tiff after converting?
I wish I could say I was the sort of photogrpher that never needed suvch things but my work is almost jounalistic in the fractioons of a second I sometimes have to get a camera out and get a pic. I spend a lot of time trying to dregdge something useable out of my images!

PS CS5 Extended - post crop vignette in Camera Raw 6?

The post-crop vignette sliders don't seem to be under Lens Correction in this upgrade - can anyone tell me where they are please? Thank you.

You probably need ACR 6.1. Check the Camera Raw forum.

Camera raw 6.5 limiting crop size

When I load up a raw image in camera raw 6.5, CS5 - the cropping tool suddenly is not working correctly
It limits the size of the crop that I can do. I used to be able to surround the entire image with a crop and then edit it smaller on each of the sides as needed. But now, for some reason, it will not let me capture the entire image - only lets me highlight about 3/4 of it. This is true for all my raw images - even ones that previously had no problems
any ideas?

Updates are grayed out in photoshop - don't know why. Even removed the 1.0 directory in App Data which was supposed to bring it back to being non-gray - but it did not. So no, I can't even update.
However, I have two laptops - clones of eachother - the crop is still working perfectly on the other one. So, I thought maybe the copy with the crop problem had corruption - so I deactivated, removed and then reinstalled a fresh copy. But still the same problem.
When I go to crop - it will not let me crop the whole image - only about 3/4 the size of any image...?
Other ideas?
