Lightroom warning about Camera Raw update I already have

When trying to open a RAW picture into Photoshop from Lightroom 2.2, it is giving me the following warning:
This version of Lightoom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.2 for full compatibility. Please update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu.
Thing is, I've already installed Camera Raw 5.2. If I open up the About Lightroom window, it tells me that I'm using Camera Raw 5.2.
Do I need to put a copy of the Camera Raw plugin somewhere else than where it is?
I'm using Lightroom 2.2, Photoshop CS4 Extended, on a MacPro w/ Leopard 10.5.6.

The version of ACR indicated in LR's help/about is the version of the RAW engine internal to LR, and not the version of ACR you actually have installed for Photoshop.
What does CS4 / Help / About Plug-ins / Camera RAW say the version is? And are there two versions of Camera RAW listed in the About Plug-ins.
Maybe there are multiple versions of ACR installed and LR is finding an old one, or perhaps LR is opening a file that was originally opened in a prior version of ACR/LR and LR can tell this by looking at the XMP or the LR database so is warning it may not be compatible even though it probably wouldn't matter. I don't have a Mac nor CS4, yet, so can only guess.

Gripe about Camera Raw Update & Adobe in General

I love what Adobe products do, but hate the rigamorale you have to go through to get them to work.
I bought a new Canon T2i and it wasn't supported. So I tried updating. The Adobe Application Updates manager doesn't work. I then tried the installer. It fires up the Adobe Application Updates Manager which didn't work. I uninstalled CS5, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted and it still doesn't work. Finally got it to work. I found & got the zip file & replaced the old "Camera Raw.8bi" at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats.
In retrospect though I spent several hours working on this and got angrier and angrier at Adobe as my morning progressed. I noted that this issue (updating Camera Raw) is at the top of Adobe's list of support problems.
Several years ago Netscape sued Microsoft because IE was bundled with the OS and, thus, Netscape couldn't compete on a level playing field. One of Microsoft's counter arguments was that a user could uninstall IE. The process was so convoluted that the judge rejected Microsoft's argument.
Getting Adobe software to work is very time consuming and convoluted. We buy the tools for workflow productivity then have to deal with the getting them to work in the first place. And to add insult to injury, after paying through the nose for our software, Adobe charges us for support for their mistakes. And this is the third crash I've experienced in 6 months. I'm a struggling, sole owner, photographer and resent the time sink that dealing with Adobe software involves.
Adobe, are you listening? I don't think I'm the only customer ticked off at these neverending problems.
Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 no longer supports ftp. As a replacement I was thinking of replacing my Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2007 with Dreamweaver. After my experience with Photoshop I'm going to hobble along on Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2007 as long as I can and hope Microsoft adds ftp to future products or a good alternative to Adobe and Microsoft exists.

Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw Update for Photoshop CS5. I have a pc.

Please Help? Having trouble opening camera raw files. Already downloaded Camera Raw update. I have a pc.

If the camera is fairly new then the version of ACR you have with CS5 won't be able to read those file. You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop or use Lightroom 5.
Once a new version of Photoshop comes out Adobe does not support updating ACR from the older version of PS.

I am using Lightroom 4.4, I recently downloaded the latest Camera Raw update, 8.8. Will it work with LR 4.4?

I recently downloaded the most recent Camera Raw update, 8.8. Will it work with LR 4.4? My current Camera Raw plug-in does not recognize my new Canon 100-400mm lens.

Quote "I have downloaded the most recent DNG converter. I guess I was mistaken in thinking I could use this as a plug-in with LR. If I understand correctly, I need to convert image files taken with the new lens with the DNG converter and then load them in LR 4 in order to use the Lens Correction feature in LR. Does that sound correct?"
No, as far as I am aware the only function that the DNG Converter performs is to convert the raw files from a supported digital camera model to a DNG file format.
This will allow you to work with the DNG files in earlier versions of Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw that do not provide support for the particular camera model raw files. It has nothing to do with Lens profiles.

When it will be the camera raw update for the nikon d750 in Lightroom 4?

When it will be the camera raw update for the nikon d750 in Lightroom 4?

Never. You'll need to upgrade to Lr 5.7, or convert your D750 files to DNG for Lr 4 to use.
As a site search would amply have indicated.

Curious question about Lightroom previews and Camera Raw Cache

Posted in the Flickr Lightroom Group as well:
I have noticed something about the Lightroom (3.6) previews and Camera Raw cache that have me puzzled.
I create a brand new empty catalog and purge the Camera Raw Cache.
Then I import ONE Nikon RAW (NEF) file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 megapixels - 10,036,224 pixels).
Next I export that NEF file to an uncompressed 8-bit TIFF file. You would expect the size of that TIFF file to be roughly 30 megabytes (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is 30,135,830 bytes in size. If you export the same TIFF file but specify ZIP compression the resulting file size is 10,834,038 bytes. Obviously the compression obtained here is going to be highly specific to the image but so far no surprises.
During import I specify render 1:1 previews and I go into Loupe mode and view the entire image at 1:1 size. I also visit the develop module and do a bunch of manipulations on the image but no cropping.
At the conclusion of all of that I exit from Lightroom and examine the size of the Camera Raw Cache folder as well as the Lightroom previews folder. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a rendered full image and that the Camera Raw Cache should also have a rendered form of the raw data. What would you expect the size of those respective folders to be?
In fact - in my trials the previews folder totals a mere 1,675,264 bytes and the Camera Raw Cache which contains one DAT file corresponding to the one cached image is merely 267,374 bytes. This does not seem like nearly enough bits to preserve the rendered image nor is there a full size image tucked away in the actual catalog either - that file is not large enough to contain that. And yet I can use Loupe mode at 1:1 size and move from image to image with no loading delays (even when importing multiple files).
I'm wondering if I've missed something obvious in my analysis and if not, whether someone might care to speculate as to what magic Adobe is practicing here. Even if we grant them some special algorithm to compress their previews I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much greater than the ZIP-compressed TIFF file achieves.
And for those that might think to ask - I've repeated these experiments with multiple raw images and on both the PC and MAC platforms.
I look forward to some answers or interesting theories or perhaps someone might replicate the experiment and report findings.

MadMan and Hal - thanks so much.
So that was my D'Oh moment of what I was missing - the use of re-rendered JPGS as previews. That certainly does fit with the file sizes I am seeing. I had naively assumed that the previews might have tried to preserve the full fidelity of the image - But as you suggest that full fidelity is likely only there in the develop module.
This perhaps explains another observation from the Develop module - moving from one image to another might display "Loading" either briefly or across a longer duration. My guess is that the length of the loading process might have to do more with what is cached in RAM than cached on disk in the camera raw cache. More of a shame then that 64-bit Lightroom on 64-Bit Windows cannot grab more RAM than it seems to do at present.

Two questions about Camera Raw and Lightroom

I am now shooting in RAW image format only and cataloging those images into Lightroom.
My first question is: How do I open an image in Camera Raw from Lightroom? When I right click on an image in Lightroom it gives me a choice to edit in > Photoshop, but does not offer the choice of editing in Camera Raw. In fact, when I go outside of Lightroom and just double-click on one of those RAW images, it opens in Photoshop. What is going on? Before I installed Lightroom, double-clicking on a RAW file would cause it to open in Camera RAW.
My second question is: Lightroom seems to have all of the same controls over processing a RAW image as the Camera Raw plug-in does. Does that mean I no longer need to open images in Camera Raw? Should I just do all of my adjustments inside of Lightroom? I take it that the sidecar xmp file is the same whether modified in Lightroom or in Camera Raw.
Pleas set me straight on this.
Thank You,
Ken

Your second question:
My second question is: Lightroom seems to have all of the same controls over processing a RAW image as the Camera Raw plug-in does.
Answers your first. Lightroom and ACR share code, so the rendering you get from Lightroom with the same settings is exactly the same as in ACR. What happens is that when you say "edit in Photoshop", ACR gets called by Lightroom and the Develop settings get passed along. ACR then renders the RAW with those settings and opens it in Photoshop. So, because you already have a working interface to the settings, there is no point in showing them to you again.
Does that mean I no longer need to open images in Camera Raw? Should I just do all of my adjustments inside of Lightroom?
That depends on your workflow. I no longer open any images in ACR directly as Lightroom provides a more effective interface in my opinion. Other people I'm sure prefer the Bridge/ACR approach.
I take it that the sidecar xmp file is the same whether modified in Lightroom or in Camera Raw.
Lightroom does not modify the sidecars by default. All edits are stored in the database. This allows you to have virtual copies with different Develop settings and more tricks like that. You can have Lightroom write out xmp sidecars by choosing "save metadata to file" from the metadata menu in Library or by turning on automatic xmp file generation in preferences. There is usually no real point to doing that however as the "edit in Photoshop" route works just fine. It's only really useful when you have a mixed workflow that still uses Bridge. If you share images with others, you're better off exporting dngs, or exporting subsets of images as catalogs with the images included.

May i know the policy about cs6 camera raw updates?

hi
may i ask about the future cs6 camera raw update ?
will be update it ? and for how many times
i mean is there a timeline for cs6 camera raw updates
thanks

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
Also the Camera Raw Forum may be a better place for the question.

Camera Raw update 2.2 -- unsupported file formats

As many user have posted here, after installing the latest Raw update from apple aperture and and all other core services became unable to read my Nikon D100 images. The file seemed fine since all other apps not based on core services worked fine. After reading some tips here I downgraded to the 2.1 raw software and everything was fine again. CLEARLY apple, in adding new camera support you introduced some sort of bug/problem. I know this was posted already but it did not seem to be generating much noise so I felt a need to keep the problem not 'under the rug'.
Will

Apple being aware of the problem is one thing, but customers are still being allowed to download and install this buggy version of Camera Raw update 2.2 without any warning of the consequences. The only place you can find any information about the problem is in this discussion and Apple have made no formal help documents available AFAIK. Pretty poor for a Pro App.
It seems that not only are we beta testers for Apple, but also unpaid support staff.

Can I upgrade my Lightroom 3.6/Camera Raw 6.6 version to the latest 5.2 version?

Can I upgrade my Lightroom 3.6/Camera Raw 6.6 version to the latest 5.2 version?

“Camera Raw” is the name of Adobe’s photo-processing engine that supports raw files. The phrase commonly refers to the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop; however, less often, it merely refers to the version of the Adobe engine whether it is that of the plug-in or in LR, itself. Unless you are talking about Photoshop then just say LR 3.6 and there’s no need to also say Camera Raw, because that will be confusing to people who are also familiar with Photoshop.
If you are interested in buying LR, then go to Adobe’s Updates page and download the LR 5.2 update and use it in Trial mode for a while to make sure it works correctly on your particular computer, then you can go buy LR from Adobe.com and input the serial number you get into the trial LR but there’s no need to download and install the LR 5.0 version because that’ll be older than the 5.2 update you’re already using.

Can't get the Camera Raw update to 8.3

OK, this happens every time there is an update. I see that Adobe has an update for Photoshop CC, but the Creative Clod Desktop application says it is up to date, which it isn't. Have contacted Adobe support many times Twice today, the Chat people cut me off while transferring.
What I have already done:
Since I have been through this many times, I know the standard drill well.
Log in and out via the desktop app. even go so far as to log out, quit, reboot the computer and log back in. Didn't help.
Delete the AAM & OOBE(?) stuff and do the same thing. Didn't help.
Uninstall and reinstall the Photoshop CC application. Reinstalled the 8.2 version of the plugin.
Uninstall and reinstall the Creative Clod Desktop application. Didn't help.
Contacted Adobe support and got cut off twice.
FWIW, I have a permanent license for Lightroom and got an update notice for it via the old style updater and it worked fine, but now I get a notice when I try to go to Photoshop that I need the Camera Raw 8.3 plugin which Adobe refuses to let me get.
This happens with every update, but the trick that worked the last time never works again. To say I am frustrated would be a massive understatement.

Oldbalddude to determine the exact cause of the installation failure I would recommend reviewing the installation log for Camera RAW update. Please see Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log file. Please feel free to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion thread.

Lightroom 2.1 / Camera Raw 5.1 Confusion

Hello,
I installed Lightroom 2.1 and when I go to the About menu it shows me correctly, that I have 2.1 but it still says: Camera Raw 4.6.
I have Photoshop CS3 and when I tried its automatic update option it did not find the newest Camera Raw 5.1.
I installed it manually.
But Lightroom still says: Camera Raw 4.6.
Do I have it or do I not??
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

"You are going to send JAO into cardiac arrest. Could you just this once; TRUST what he is saying. It is a simple concept, maybe to simple for you to under stand."
It's a pity that asking a fairly reasonable question here prompts such a patronising reply!
"Maybe we should try this tack.
THERE is no ACR in LR:::: None, never was, never will be.
LR uses the pipeline that was developed for ACR and THATS all.
That curent pipeline version is 4.6"
Never said there was, simply asked about the confusion that is the statement in LR and how it relates to PS ACR, i.e. in 'About PS LR' it says 'Camera Raw 4.6'. Now, if you can't see how that causes confusion for users of the 'other' Camera Raw 4.6, then I think it's me who's going to have a cardiac arrest. I think most people would find that totally confusing.
"NO ACR in LR. Repeat there is no ACR in LR."
No, but there are statements about Camera Raw versions and there is a cameraraw.dll in the LR folder.
"Users of PS 3 cannot not use version 5.1"
There is no confusion about that.
"PS CS 4 uses versions 5.0 and above. Always will."
No, it probably won't use version 6.0.
Many people have posted on various forums about the confusion over Camera Raw in LR, so it isn't obvious. The fact is that although LR doesn't actually use an ACR plugin, there has been an assumption by many users that it does use the same engine as ACR, and the fact that it states a Camera Raw version number within the software adds to that reasonable assumption.
Up to CS4 the Camera Raw version in LR has been consistent with the latest CS3 ACR version which also adds to the confusion.
I think one of the main concerns that some users have is that LR will not continue to support newer cameras. I mean for example, when the 5D MkII is incorporated into ACR version 5.x, will LR Camera Raw version be shown as 4.7 or will it revert to consistency and call it 5.x?

How download cs5 Camera raw update and how make Photoshop the default in the Bridge "open" menu?

Two problems which have defeated me.
First, I have a new Canon EOS 500D and need to download the recent (July 2010) CS5 Camera Raw update. However both of my computers freeze when I move from the Adobe Support web page to the Download web page. Is this a known problem? What to do about it? I am using CS 5 on a Windows 2007 XP computer.
Second, (probably related to the first) opening a file in Photoshop is not listed among Bridge's "OPEN AS" options. Also, the "OPEN" Default is "PAINT". How do I set Photoshop as the "OPEN" menu default?
Thanks for your suggestions. I am truly befuddled by these issues.

Sounds like something is really wrong with your computer, and it isn't clear what, but if you're just having issues getting to the download link for ACR:
Here is the download page for ACR 6.1 update:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4728
Here is the download page for the CS5 12.0.1 update:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4733
If those links don't work, you can probably find the same updates on the FTP site, although some things here are more than a decade old:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/
See if Bridge and ACR are any happier after installing these two updates. Make sure you run them as Administrator.
If those still don't work for you, try another browser, where Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome should all work.
http://www.microsoft.com/ie
http://www.firefox.com/
http://www.google.com/chrome
There are numerous other browsers, as well, but they probably won't work if the above three don't.
Perhaps you either have a virus that you should scan for, or over-zealous internet-protection software that you could try disabling temporarily.
My favorite free virus/malware scanner is from www.MalwareBytes.com
The payfor version will automatically update itself and scan, but the free version works just as well except you have to manually update and scan.

How do I get Adobe Photoshop 5.1 to successfully install the 6.7 Camera Raw update? I keep getting error code U44M1l210 (for any of my CS5.5 updates_

does anyone know? Adobe just told me they don't support 5.5 or 6 through phone or chat. (and I thought time warner customer service was bad)
I'm on a mac, 10.6.8 snow leopard.
Other than this camera raw update not working, everything else is working fine.
thanks for any help.

I am not sure that you will be able to. XP-64 was never supported in any version of PrPro. Some got later versions to run, but most usually had some issues.
You might do some research on DirectX, to see which versions were supported by XP-64. That OS, though providing beta-testing for 64-bit OS's to come, was essentially an evolutionary dead-end. It was completely replaced with Vista-64. Again, some users had issues with Vista-64 and later versions of PrPro, than yours. You might have better luck, trying Win7-64, but that is just a guess.
Good luck,

Camera Raw update in Elements 11

Camera Raw update in Elements 11
I have installed Camera Raw 8.3 in Elements 11 to use RAW files from Canon EOS 70D
However when checking the about in Elements 11 it still says installed version is 7.4 and it will not open RAW files from camera.

I know nothing about Photoshop Elements. But, according to this list, Photoshop Elements can only work with Camera Raw through version 8.0.
