Merge RAW files to panorama in photoshop

Hello all, I usually edit my raw files in lightroom and then 'merge to panorama in photoshop'. My question is: Can I save this big panorama merged file as a photoshop raw file and continue editing in lightroom as a normal RAW file? Thanks

Yes, I agree it would be nice. But it will remain a wish.
Here's what I do:
I don't edit at all in Lr before the panorama stitching in Photoshop, except that  I make the horizontals and/or verticals (for instance the horizon in a sea shot) straight. That makes it easier for Photoshop to do the stitching.
I don't do much further editing in Photoshop because I do Photoshop-editing on layers and that creates huge files. Rather, I do all editing after the panorama-stitching in Lr.

  • Preview has taken over RAW file type binding from Photoshop

    Preview v 3.0.4 has taken over as the default program with which to open RAW files. Double-clicking a RAW file in OS 10.3.9 or earlier (?) used to automatically open RAW files into the latest Photoshop version installed (be it 7, CS, CS2).
    After purchasing a new Dual 2.7 G5 with Tiger 10.4 or 10.4.4, ALLL RAW ICNS have changed to a PREVIEW.app's icon for RAW images, and RAW files now default to Preview when double-clicked, instead of the Photographer's choice of Photoshop, as it has been for years.
    These and other file type bindings (PDF) have been captured by Preview in the new OS.
    What is going on? What to do? How do I regain the original file binding of RAW files to an intelligent and professional program (PHTOSHOP CSx), instead of this NEWBIE nearly unusable PREVIEW application?
    Simply remove all PREVIEW resources? Then it's usefulness for browsing large numbers of images will be lost.
    I simply want PREVIEW to leave my professional digital world alone and let me continue working efficiently.
    Any help? Ideas?
    Thanks a bunch,

    Simply select one of your crw files, do GetInfo (command-i) on the file and in the Open With section choose Photoshop. Click the Apply to All button. From now on all crw files will open in Photoshop. I suspect the default changed because Preview can now open many many raw files, and not everyone has Photoshop.

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

    Am I able to convert RAW files to jpegs on Photoshop Elements?

    Hi,
    Sorry, but with the information you have given, the only answer I can give is "possibly".
    Each camera model produces a slightly different raw format - even different models by the same manufacturer and even if they have the same extension (file type). The latest cameras will not be supported by older versions of Photoshop Elements although there is a converter which can help.
    To give you a better answer, we need to know
    1) The camera make and model
    2) The version of Photoshop Elements that you are using
    3) The operating system that you are running on.

  • Can't open Canon RAW files in LR1.3, Photoshop, Bridge

    Hi.
    I'm having a problem with some Canon RAW image files a second photographer sent me. He sent about 800 files and I'm only able to import into LR (1.3) about 15% of the files. The remainder will not import. Upon import, LR says something to this effect: "files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I tried them on both of my macs (my G5 and laptop) and had the same thing happened. Photoshop says: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    They show with this icon: file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%203.png
    When I do the "get info" on these files, under "General:" it says, e.g., that a file is a 10.8MB file. Under the "More info:" box, it says the dimensions are 0x0 (that's weird because when I look at this for other good files there are numbers for the dimensions).
    This is a picture of the "get info" window:
    file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%201.png
    I have tried to open these files in LR, Photoshop, Bridge and Preview and nothing will open these.
    The files are locked so I unlocked one, but that made no difference whatsoever.
    I noticed one thing about the naming convention on the files,but I don't think this matters. My own Canon RAW files always have the .CR2 extension. All of his files have the .cr2 extension. Mine are all uppercase and his are lowercase. However, I don't think this could matter because the files I was able to download of his all had the .cr2 extension, just like the ones I couldn't download.
    (PS: Just in case you saw my earlier posting, this problem has nothing to do with that. This is another second photographer's files that I'm having problems with. Jonathon LeFaive solved that other problem for me.)
    Thank you for any help you can provide! Martha

    LR 3 is a complete new build so it will not overwrite the earlier version of LR 1.3 or its catalog or other settings.
    The install procedure will recognize your LR 1.3 catalog and ask if you wish to create/ convert to a LR 3 catalog. This procedure will not overwrite your 1.3 catalog but will create a LR 3 compatable copy.
    Download the trial which is good for 30 days before you will need to pay the upgrade price of $99 if you decide to keep. The trial is the full package and you will not be restricted in any way.
    The new features are a substantial upgrade with significant improvement in the conversion output of your raw files.
    Full details are provided in the "read me file" included with the download which should be read carefully before you install. The decision should be a no brainer.

  • Can't open a raw file from Lightroom to Photoshops ACR

    I got used to using Lightroom 3 as a place to catalogue and store my images but still process my Raw files in Adobe Photoshops Raw Convertor. Now that I have Lightroom 5 I can't find out how to do this.  With version 3 I just highlighted say 3 files and hit command E.
    I know I can open an image as a smart object and go about it that way but I can't open multiple images from Lightroom to ACR.
    I know people will say '' hey well do your Raw work in Lightroom'' but I got used to using the Photoshop Raw convertor and I spent a lot of time and money learning it.
    Surely there is a way to open say three images from L5 to ACR ???
    Please help this has been driving me nuts, It's suggested I will need to start using Bridge but I'm bewildered and don't want to start learning something new.
    Thanks in advance.

    It has been a long time since I even had Lightroom 3 installed on my computer.  I don't recall the behavior you are describing.  ACR is used to translate the adjustments made in Lightroom as the image is transferred to Photoshop.  You may have become accustomed to a certain behavior, but it doesn't work that way.  The process of moving from Lightroom to Photoshop works on the assumption that you have done your raw adjustments using Lightroom, and you are now passing that image to Photoshop.

  • Why can't I open raw files from 5diii into photoshop CS4?

    My second shooter has the 5Diii, and I am having trouble opening her raw files into my bridge and photoshop (CS4). I am using a 5Dii. The files are named differently and I can't preview any of her files in Bridge and Photoshop will not load them. ?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The 5D Mark III was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 (for CS5) and 7.1 (for CS6). ACR 6.7 is not compatible with CS4. CS4 is simply too old.
    The 5D Mark II has been supported since ACR 5.2 which is compatible with CS4.
    Your choices for the 5D Mark III:
    Join the full Cloud
    Join the Creative Cloud Photography Program (PS CC 2014 + LR)
    Upgrade to CS6

  • RAW files open directly into Photoshop

    Odd issue here: when launching RAW files they open directly into Photoshop. Either Camera Raw gets bypassed or it just processes them on the fly.
    This happens after a bit of usage, re-launching Photoshop solves the problem for the next few files.
    This happens if I launch the RAW files from the Finder, Bridge or Photomechanic. Only the right-click on my mouse in Bridge will show the option of opening images in Camera Raw.
    This is driving us nuts here. Happens on 4 work stations.
    RAW files are mostly CR2's. Mac OS 10.4.10

    Are you using PhotoKit or PhotoKit Sharpener? If so, this is a known issue with the previous builds...go to the CS3 Beta page and redownload the current builds.

    If you AREN'T usinf PhotoKit or Sharpener, try resetting your Bridge preferences and purging the cache.

  • "Developing" raw files in iPhoto vs Photoshop Camera Raw.  Observations ...

    I need to generate 3 "exposures" from a large group of raw (Nikon D200 NEF) format images. A bracket of sorts: 0 ev, -2 and +2. Ideally I would like to do it in iPhoto since It would be much faster than opening each photo in Photoshop ACR and saving it from there. But I was concerned that the quality of the "developing" would not be as good in iPhoto than in PS.
    However, when I generated my 3 exposures by using Edit > Adjust > Exposure slider and setting it to +2 and -2 then saving as tiff16 and then compared those with the same 3 exposure created out of ACR, I find that the iPhoto version does a much nicer job keeping the very bright highlights in check. The PS versions seem to have much more clipping in those same highlights.
    Has anyone noticed this? Is iPhoto actually better than ACR at generating different exposures from raw files?
    Thanks for any help.
    Bo
    P.S. Changing the exposure is the only thing I have modified. Everything else is left at default.

    Thank you guys. I think you are probably correct on this.
    Terence, re: Aperture and NEF, I know this was discussed a lot a while back but I've been out of the loop for a while. Since the raw converter is at the OS level, does this mean that iPhoto and Aperture use the same converter and therefore should yield the same results at that level?
    Thank you

  • How to merge RAW files into iPhoto Library?

    Hi,
    I have several (Aperture-) modified photos in iPhoto. When I click on any one of those photos in iPhoto (9.5.1) and then click on File -> Reveal in Finder -> Modified File – it reveals the location of a jpg-file inside my iPhoto Library. So far, so good.
    However, when I choose File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original File it takes me to an external folder (located in my Home Picture library) and reveals the original RAW-file. I don't know why they are in a folder outside the iPhoto library but I suppose it has something to do with me editing them outside of iPhoto. And this is not a library but just a regular folder containing RAW-files.
    How can I merge all my RAW-files so that they are, neat and tidy, all inside my iPhoto library?

    However, when I choose File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original File it takes me to an external folder (located in my Home Picture library) and reveals the original RAW-file.
    You can use Aperture to move the raw originals back into the iPhoto/Aperture library, if your iPhoto and Aperture versions are still compatible.
    Open your library in Aperture and select all photos with raw originals in the Browser and use the command "File > Consolidate Originals".
    You will be prompted, if you want to move the files or to copy them. Select "Move files".
    The reason they originals are outside the library is probably caused by the way you imported them. Check your import settings in Aperture.
    In the Import panel the option "Store files" should be set to "In the Aperture Library".
    And in iPhoto the "Advanced" preference for importing should be "Copy items to the iPhoto Library"
    Regards

  • Problems with Quality of Raw file when pulled into Photoshop

    I use Photoshop CS3 with ACR plugin version 4.6.0.30 installed.  When I pull my RAW files into it,  I seem to lose a lot of information.  For example I took a picture of my black dog.   I set the camera (Canon 40d) to save the file in both RAW and high res JPG.  When I pull both files directly into photoshop the JPG has more detail information in the highlights and shadows than the RAW file does.  This should be the reverse.  To see if the problem was in the file or in the process of pulling it into photoshop I also pulled it in through Lightroom.  Then I used Zoom Browser (software that came with my camera).  Zoom Browser forced me to convert to a TIFF before importing it to Photoshop.  I'll try attaching a file I made that shows the results of each.
    My conclusion is that there is not a problem with the CR2 file, since the CR2 file converted to the TIFF has the most detail, but something is happening when I import it into photoshop.  I just don't know what settings I should be looking at to fix this problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Camera Raw 101: ACR has different baseline "Defaults" than the Canon software, therefore you will need to make your own adjustments–and perhaps save out a new ACR Default. Canon's software only has to worry about a small sampling of cameras. Camera Raw supports over 230 cameras' raw files. As a result Canon's software tends to match the in camera JPEG and the camera's LCD by default.
    Camera Raw on the other hand is more concerned offering a normalized default rendering of the raw data. Rather than trying to force a certain "look" (generally higher in contrast and more saturated) ACR will show the raw data a bit flatter and less saturated.
    Fact is, Camera Raw has a huge number of controls for the express purpose of allowing the user to maintain total control over the rendering of the raw data...what you need to do is learn how to use all the sliders....
