Lightroom Controls Added to Camera Raw?

I noticed this in the information provided for Camera Raw 4.5:
"However, at this time Camera Raw 4.5 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
Clone/Heal Opacity
Post Crop Vignette
Graduated Filter Adjustment
Local Adjustment Brush"
Will these Lightroom settings and tools eventually (soon, I hope) be added to Camera Raw? Or will those who want the full Lightroom-style tools need to migrate to Lightroom?

> ... what was hilarious to me is your telling TK and his team in public, in effect, that a huge chunk of their efforts was in effect wasted because all you need is Photoshop Elements. That's why I laughed.
Keep laughing -- I'm confident the Adobe team got my point while you obviously did not ... which was:
> I imagine that might not be true depending on what the image requires. (post#20)
... which implies that a full version, or the current version of ACR is not always required.
Regarding:
> In other words, Michael, the better the image, the more refined and subtle you want the adjustments and manipulation to be. The more tools you have, the better you can achieve this.
True enough, but your previous statement:
> In the case of a klutz who comes back with poor images all the time, why bother with anything over PsElements?
would imply
it's the software that makes the photographer
, and we all know that simply isn't true.

When will Nikon D5500 be added to Camera Raw or Lightroom

When will Nikon D5500 be added to Camera Raw or Lightroom

The camera raw updater is only for updating the plug-ins that Photoshop uses. If you want to work with your D5500 in Lightroom you need to download and install the DNG Converter 8.8, and create DNGs from your NEFs, one folder at a time, and then those DNGs will open in the older LR version.
For LR to open the D5500 NEFs, directly, it would need to be LR 5.8 or LR 6.0 and we don’t have either of those, and I expect we’re not going to get LR 5.8, because that would delay LR 6. My thinking is that ACR 8.8 and the DNGC 8.8 were stop-gap updates to give people a path forward for new cameras while everyone waits for LR 6 and ACR 9.

Upgrade of Lightroom 4 with newest Camera Raws possible?

I'm still on Windows XP. My question: Can I buy Lightroom 4 and update Camera Raw files subsequently? Or is the only chance to use newest camera raws by using Lightroom 5? I want to get access to Olympus EM-5 Raw files (in addition to EOS 5D MII) and want to avoid for now changing the windows system.
Any advice very much appreciated!

Lightroom 4 is no longer sold. It would depend first on your being able to find a copy for sale. That said, you would only be able to upgrade your camera compatibility to LR 4.4.1. Any cameras added after 4.4.1 was released would be unavailable to you.
At this point the only alternative that allows you to remain on XP and continue to get the newest cameras is to download and implement in your workflow the free Adobe DNG Converter. It is XP compatible (at least for now) and allows access to the latest cameras, and its DNG files are backwards compatible to all versions of Lightroom.

Hi All:
based on the good work of Dorin above (post #19), he did a timeline of various releases of Lightroom from Adobe and it shows that from "version x RC" to "final release version" was around 1 month.
as it is already exactly one month now, it must not be too much longer till they will release the LR2.3 Final Version.
As for what Robert said in post #23, well, there's never any "guarantee" on a problem-free piece of software, or, for that matter, anything one purchases or anything in life, actually!! Yet, one can make educated extrapolations, right? From the range of comments thus far on LR2.3RC, it appears that it is the best version yet of LR2.x. This leads to the conclusion that it is probably a "good bet" that this version will likely lead to the least amount of issues, right? Maybe not "zero issues", but most likely, the least amount of issues from the various LR2.x versions available.
So by waiting, say, merely 1-3 more weeks approximately, i can go directly from LR1.4 (which i've been using for many months) to LR2.3 Final Release Version. It seems like it is a prudent and conservative move or plan.
What do the good folks here think, please?
thanks in advance for helping me to mull this over. If i were a PC expert, i'd be thinking about this less. as i'm just a somewhat competent user, and not a whiz, i thought that a bit of care and planning it out intelligently can possibly reduce frustrations later.

Not at all. I like good tools, and from everything I read Bridge is marvelous. I don't have anything against Bridge, I just don't need it.
As a computer engineer, I use my computer for WAY more than just Photoshop. As such, I do everything I can to have the operating system (via Windows Explorer) integrate things for me.
For example, via right-click or double-click or drag and drop onto icons:
I access my configuration management system from Explorer (Tortoise SubVersion).
I do searches (grepWin) from Explorer.
I compare things (Beyond Compare) from Explorer.
I start Photoshop and other image tools on raw and processed image files I manage with Explorer.
I start my development tools (Visual Studio and a host of utilities) from Explorer (e.g., double click .sln files).
I access my web sites with Explorer (via WebDrive).
I get file paths from Explorer (right click, Send to Clipboard as Name).
I access office management apps from Explorer (e.g., double click .doc or .xls files).
This is an abbreviated list. Explorer can be a VERY powerful integrator, and is at the center of my computing world at a higher level. So now you can start to imagine why I prefer Explorer for image work.

Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 final releases are available

Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 are now available as final releases on Adobe.com and through the update mechanisms available in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3. These updates include additional lens profiles support among others. Check out http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/. Following the example of Adobe's collaboration with SIGMA, leading lens manufacturers such as Pentax, Tamron and Zeiss worked closely with Adobe to create some of the profiles.

Excellent! Now if there were only a way to use my S95 in raw... I guess I'll have to wait another few months

Here is a draft of my final release notes for working with Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw 5.7:
Viewing Lightroom 3 settings in Camera Raw 5.7
Before working in conjunction with Lightroom 3 and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files. By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightroom’s develop module. However, at this time Camera Raw 5.7 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
Highlight Priority and Color Priority post-crop vignette
Enhanced Luminance and Color Noise Reduction
Grain effects
Process Version
Lightroom is also dependent on a compatible version of the Camera Raw plug-in for the "Edit in Photoshop" functionality to work properly. Camera Raw 5.7 will ensure that Lightroom 3 beta 2 will maintain that compatible functionality with Photoshop CS4.

That seems to clarify the interoperability of ACR 5.7 and LR 3. Thank you for that, Mr. Hogarty.
Now, for the benefit of those of use who are not and/or will not be using Lightroom 3 for whatever reason, perhaps Mr. Chan or you can address the question of whether ACR 5.7 RC has a different or improved Noise Reduction functionality over that of ACR 5.6, and/or whether this will be the case for the final, GM release of ACR 5.7. Let's leave any and all versions of LR out of the equation for a second, please.
I think I see improved Noise Reduction in ACR 5.7 RC, but I wonder if this is real or whether I've just improved my skills in handling the noise reduction sliders since earlier versions.
Thanks.

I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D

Hi,
I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D
Lightroom doesn't show a thumbnail image and when trying to import it says the camera format isn't supported. But normaly Camera raw 6.6 should cover the Canon eos 6D
All help is welcome,
Thanks

No, the older versions are not free. If you upgrade you will have to get Lr5 unless you can still find Lr4 for sale somewhere as it has been discontinued by Adobe. You can also use the FREE DNG converter to convert the 6d files for use in Lr3.6.

Problems with Nikon Coolpix P7700 and Lightroom 4.4 with camera raw 7.4.

When I import raw (NRW) files (size 3000 x 4000 pixels) from my Nikon Coolpix P7700 to Lightroom 4.4 (camera raw 7.4) it seems that Lightroom doubles file sizes. In Metadata section I can see that picture´s file size is 25.xx Mb. Camera´s sensor size is, however, only 12 Mb. I have also Nikon D300 and imported raw files (size 3000 x 4000 pixels) in Lightroom 4.4. are varying between 12.xx and 16.xx Mb. I´m very confused about the situation. I have iMac 27" (late 2007) and operating system is Mac OSX 10.8.4. Can somebody explain what is happening. Is there a bug in Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4 or what?
Thank you in advance

You are mixing megapixels (your camera takes 12 megapixel photos) with megabytes (the file size). These two different units cannot be compared, and I conclude from the numbers you have provided that nothing is wrong.

Lightroom to photoshop no camera raw

When i export raw,dng,tiff files to photoshop cc, camera raw never appears. I've tried tweaking settings, everything is updated. Why is this happening ???

There is no need to go to the Camera Raw interface. Lightroom has all the same exact controls as Camera Raw does. When Lightroom sends an image to Photoshop, Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments. The image is interpreted and then sent directly to Photoshop. If you want access to the Camera Raw interface you will have to open your images as smart objects and then go to Camera Raw from Photoshop.
Added later: the workflow I described is what happens when you use the "Edit in Photoshop" option. You are talking about "exporting" to Photoshop. How are you exporting?

Lightroom 1.1 - Adobe Camera RAW 4.1 (Bridge, Photoshop CS3) problem

Dear all,
I am having some problems with the appearance of files developed in adobe lightroom 1.1 or in adobe camera raw 4.1 from e.g. bridge or photoshop cs3. When developing in lightroom the images look great, however when using acr 4.1 and the same xmp sidecar settings imported from lightroom, the image in acr looks very pale in comparison. For example when using the export into photoshop option in Lightroom, the image in PS3 looks very pale to the one in lightroom. The same problem persists with developing using ACR 4.1 from bridge. I have turned autotoning in ACR off. Also in the color management of PS CS3, the desaturate checkbox is UNchecked.
I am using an icc profile for my 30" cinema display, calibrated with colory eyes pro and a spyder2.
Has anybody had similar problems with ACR 4.1 or am I just doing something horribly simple wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Immanuel

Thomas,
thanks for your reply. In Mac OS X Preview the images look all good and very much like what I see in Lightroom. In any case not as pale or like with a slight white overcast to what I see when using ACR 4.1 from Bridge or Photoshop CS3. In PS color settings, preserving embedded profiles is checked. Yes, it seems to me as well that this is some color management issue. The 30" Cinema display was calibrated using Color Eyes Pro and Spyder2 to Gamma 2.2 and 6500 temp. However, even when reverting to the standard Apple color profile for the monitor, the problem persists.
No luck so far...

Invoking Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 4 asks for Camera Raw Plug-in 7.0

I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Lightroom 4.0. When I try to invoke "Photo / Edit in Photoshop CS 5.1" I get the warning "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7.0 for full compatibility. Please update the camera raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu". However, the update function in Photoshop CS5.1 says that there are no updates available and searching adobe.com I can find no references to Camera Raw plug-in 7.0. What is one to do? Thanks.

No, the warning is not the issue. As I've said, "supported cameras" are not the problem.
I do initial processing on my images, then using Lightroom CMD E push them to Photoshop for further editing. The message says "7.0 may be required for full compatibility" should I ignore that warning and click "Open Anyway" because there really aren't any compatibility issues?
LR 4 Develop module is much different than LR 3, just as CS5 version of ACR is different than what I've seen in the CS6 beta. My assumption is there would be compatibility issues - as the warning says - when using LR4's develop engine then passing it on to CS5. I don't use ACR in Photoshop since I use Lightroom, I use Photoshop for detailed image editing in conjunction with the Nik Software selective tool run as a window within Photoshop.
So how about a clear answer: Just click "Open Anyway" and everything will work great? When I first work on an image in LR4, then further edit it in Photoshop CS5 with ACR 6.7 installed, Save and Close the image in Photoshop sending it back to Lightroom it will all work just like yesterday when I did all that in Lightroom 3 without any error messages?

DNG files display artifacts in Lightroom but not in Camera Raw

I've been scratching my head over this one for a few days so hopefully someone here can help. Some of my dng images are showing artifacts in Lightroom 3, see attached file as an example. However, if I open these images in Camera Raw 5.7 the artifacts are gone! The artifacts are also gone when I view the DNG in Windows Live Photo Gallery. The images are stored on a gigabit network server with the LR catalog file on the local Win 7 PC. One other thing I noticed is that for some images (not all) the artifacts will show up in the Library module but disappear when viewed in the Develop module. There are no "damaged file" error messages for Lightroom when viewing the affected files. I tried clearing out the Camera Raw Cache but nothing changed.
So my questions are: Are these files damaged or not? Is there a way to fix this problem. Why are they showing up fine in other image programs? Is there a utility that can verify the integrity of a suspect DNG file?

Lightroom 3 and Adobe Camera Raw cache files

Lately in: User/Library/Caches/Adobe Camera Raw I've been getting tons of (cache0000019858.dat) " just an example of one of the many files"
Are thes related to Lightroom 3?
What are they and can they be deleted or moved to another drive?
I primarly use this computer only for Lightroom 3.
Thanks

The question also applies to LR4, which si what I'm using.
If you mean does it move the files in the cache - I don't know, but I doubt it and it doesn't really matter. It will just use the new cache location, so will be a bit slower until it builds up the cache (and it might leave a load of stranded garbage in the old location, so probably a good idea to purge the cache before changing the location, or delete the old one manually).
