Missing Camera Raw Dialog Box in Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows.

Hello,
I have Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows. This runs on a 32-bit Windows Vista VirtualBox virtual machine.
It has been running fine, but suddenly opening raw Nikon images no longer opens the Camera Raw Dialog box, but takes me straight into editing on Photoshop Elements.
I really like having the Camera Raw Dialog box open as I do most of my image processing using this before opening the resulting file in Elements.
Does anyone know how to get this box back, or to open it from within Elements?
I have tried opening the images from within Photoshop Elements using the "Open As..." mnu item from the File menu, and the selecting "Camera Raw" as the image type, but it still opens without the Camera Raw Dialog box.
Thanks very much.

Check your screen resolution settings for vista.
I believe the screen resolution needs to be at least 1024 x 768 for the camera raw dialog to show in pse 8.
For example, if instead of running VirtualBox full screen, your running it in windowed or seamless mode and made the window smaller by dragging on the corner, that would automatically lessen the screen resolution in vista.

When I use the command "Place in photoshop" CC from Bridge CC, it skips the Camera Raw Dialog box

I am having an issue when I use the "Place in Photoshop" command from within Bridge CC, it is skipping the Camera Raw Dialog box and not behaving like a normal smart object. This has been my workflow for years and suddenly it's not working in CC. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

As far as i can tell, if you use Place>In Photoshop from Bridge with a camera raw file and don't have any other documents open, it skips the camera raw dialog, but does place (open as a smart object)
and then you can double click on the smart object icon on the thumbnail in the l;ayers panel to open camera raw.
If you already have a document open then Place>In Photoshop using a camera raw file opens the camera raw dialog before placing the photo.
Also check the photoshop>Preferences>General and verify you have Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects checked.
The above behaviour seems to be the same in photoshop cc as past versions of photoshop, at least on the windows versions.

Can't find the Camera Raw Dialog Box

So, I go to one of those great photoshop seminars by Scott Kelby. I've been using elements for a few years. Decided it was most definitely time to upgrade to PS CS4.
I got it today. I'm pumped. I'm also a bit confused. I am trying to find the camera raw dialog box spoken of in literature and help files. I have a cannon XTi and recently shot some stuff in raw, confirmed the extension of .cr2. I've opened it using bridge and tried various other ways to get the camera raw plug in to activate.
Best I can tell, it is either fully invisible, I'm a noob, or it isn't displaying something or otherwise working. I read in the help files about "click on the basic tab in the camera raw dialog box," and so many other things I'm supposed to be doing in the camera raw dialog box.
Where in the world is this box? How do I know it is the camera raw dialog box? Is it labeled that? I've spent all evening going through help files, reading materials, and have already learned a lot about PS CS4. But now I'm lost. The world is dark and grey and my life has no meaning. Well, that is what my 15 year old is telling me right now because I took her cell phone away. Enough drama, sry life with teenagers, Lord help me!
Seriously, where do find the camera raw dialog box? How do I know a raw file, the canon cr2 format has successfully opened in raw? I only see .psd extensions and nothing looks different to me on the screen from opening a .jpg to opening a .cr2.
Advise is appreciated.

First of all make sure everything is updated: Photoshop to 11.0.1 and Camera raw to 5.6.
See: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Then, if you double-click on a .CR2 file you should get the choice to open. Choose PS CS4.
The file will then open inside PS with the Camera Raw dialog.
Normally, if you are previewing in Bridge (which is the usual way) Cmd+R or a right-click on a CR2 file will open the ACR dialog.

CS Camera Raw Dialog Box: default setting for 'Tint'

I have yet another question about Photoshop CS (not CS1,2,3 or 4) that I cannot find answered in any book or online article that I have consulted. Because CS will not handle Camera Raw files from my camera (Nikon D50), what I do is to use an Adobe DNG converter to convert them to .dng format and then open them in Photoshop CS. When the Camera Raw dialog box opens, all the variables under the 'Adjust' tab are set to standard default values (e.g. 0 for Exposure, +5 for Shadows, +25 for Contrast, etc.) — except Tint. Tint very mysteriously varies from image to image, even though they all come from the same camera with the same menu settings and the same memory card and even if I have not previously done any adjusting of those images. For any given image, the Tint value stays the same if I change Settings between Camera Default and Selected Image. But it will be different when I open another image from the same series.
What I should like to know is, firstly, what it is about a given Camera Raw file that 'tells' Photoshop what value to set Tint to; and, secondly, what the default value should be. Thanks in advance for any information.

How do you Re-Open the Camera Raw Dialog box after closing it?

Hi All,
going crazy trying to figure out how to reopen the Camera Raw dialog box after closing it in photoshop. I know I found it once but have since forgetten. Any help would be much appreciated!
thx!
Jayson

When the image is open in ACR hold down the SHIFT key and you'll see the button marked Open Image changes to Open Object, so do your ACR adjustments then hold down shift and click Open Object - your image will open as a Smart Object in Photoshop.
If using Lightroom you can right click the image and select Edit>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop from the drop-down menu.
Do not confuse normal smart objects with what we're talking about here, Camera RAW Smart Objects - possibly one of the most powerful tools to have at your dispossal, once you understand them.
Hope this helps

Camera RAW dialog box

I'm a novice user of PE4 (Mac version). I've taken some photos with a Nikon D80 in the RAW format for the first time. I've got the Nikon NEF LE Plugin installed and the RAW images display without problems in the PE image window. But there is no accompanying Camera RAW dialog box on screen, just the usual controls. Can anyone advise on how I get this dialog box to appear please?

You will need to download the Adobe camera raw plug-in, since the one that came with PE 4 is too old for the D80. Try version 3.7 (I forget which number added support for the D80). There are two later versions, 4.0 and 4.1, but they require a patch for the mac version of PE 4 and Adobe can't be bothered to actually release the patch.
Download for the raw plug-in is here:

I'm stuck! Going from LR3 to CS5 I don't get Camera Raw dialog box

I'm stuck. When I edit pics from LR3 to CS5 the Camera Raw dialog box does not open. Everything is updated. I can get Camera Raw dialog box to open if I open a photo directly in to CS5. I have looked at my external editing options. All seems fine. Please help. Thanks!

I'm not a LR user, but I believe it serves as your raw converter (similarly to ACR), therefore when you edit directly out of LR into CS5 the image is already rendered ready for CS5 usage. If you start directly in CS5 then ACR is invoked for raw file conversion.

I purchased Photoshop Elements for windows and need it on mac

I purchased Photoshop Elements for Windows and need it for Mac. Can I reverse this or is there a way to get the right product?

I don't know if things have changed (I get the feeling they have as of late), but normally an Elements license can be applied to either platform, so you should be able to download the trial version for the Mac and use the serial number to activate it. If you have any problem you should be able to resolve it with customer spport thru chat.

Missing advanced dialog box in photoshop elements 9

I am hoping someone out there can help. I have a missing advanced dialog box on my photoshop downloader page. I have photoshop elements 9. I saw that changing the screen resolution can sometime help this, however it does not in my case, I've tried all available. I have a new Dell Inspiron laptop and resolution is set at 1366 X 768. My computer was preloaded with photoshop elements 8. I can see the advanced dialog box in version 8. However, it is not in version 9. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for your help.

I believe the screen resolution needs to be at least 1024 x 768 for the camera raw dialog to show in pse 8.

Camera Raw Dialog box not opening automatically

When I try to open a raw image in photoshop CS3 for some reason the camera raw plugin dialog box is not automatically opening and I get a message that says "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" I know I am missing something simple but how do i get the dialog box to open?

You need to make sure that the specific camera model is supported by the version of the ACR plug-in you have installed on your machine.
The current version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) is ACR 4.5 and there is also ACR 4.6beta.
What version are you running and what camera generated your raw files?

How do I install camera raw 8.8 to Photoshop Elements 12?

Separate Plug-in installer doesn't work.
Will Adobe force me to buy Elements 13??

Adobe isn't going to "force" you to do anything. They provide the free DNG converter that will enable you to use DNG copies of your files with Photoshop Elements 12. If you "want" native support for the raw files from your camera, then you can "choose" whether or not you want to upgrade.

Camera raw not working on photoshop elements 8

I have tried installing camera raw 6.2 for photoshop elements 8 so I can open RAW image files, I have done exactly as the instructions said and I still encounter the error of "cannot open ___ because it is the wrong type of file"

It needs 6.3, according to this: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Which Camera Raw functions are in Photoshop Elements?

At times I'll suggest something to do in ACR in conversations with other photographers. Sometimes I get a response that they can't find what I referred to in ACR. Usually turns out they are using Elements (PSE), which has a subset of ACR function. I've been looking for a list of ACR functions in PSE -- searching Adobe forums and products so far without success. I have tried to assemble such a list from what I have in ACR 6.3 and by reading the Adobe PSE9 help files (I don't have PSE). Here's what I've assembled. Anyone have any corrections or additions? Thanks.
Adjustment tabs that are not in PSE: Tone curves, HSL Grayscale, Split toning, Lens corrections, Effects (Grain, Post-crop vignetting), Presets, Snapshots
Detail Adjustment Tab - Noise Reduction: PSE has Luminance and Color; PS adds Luminance detail and contrast, Color detail
Tools that are not in PSE: Color sampler tool, Targeted adjustment tool, Spot removal, Local adjustments (Adjustment Brush and Graduated Filter)
Workflow options: PSE - depth only (8/16); in PS: Color space (target color profile), Size, Resolution, Sharpen for...
Save Image button: PSE saves only as DNG file type; in PS: Save as jpeg, tiff, psd file types
Question on PSE White Balance Pull-down list: Does PSE offer only As Shot or Custom? (No auto, daylight, ... flash?)

Here are some screenshots of pse9 and camera raw 6.3

Hope they help.

Camera raw update fails in Photoshop Elements 9.0.3

Hi.
Installing OEM software with a neu printer update camea raw fails. How do I fix it?

You will need to check with your hardware manufacturer but I don’t think pre-installed software can be updated. You could consider:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 10 or the forthcoming PSE11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original raw’s as backups and for use in the camera manufacturers software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Photoshop Elements for Windows 8

I bought Photoshop Elements almost 10 years ago, it worked well even with Windows 7. Now I got new PC which has Windows 8, tried to install from CD but couldn't make it.
Is there anyway to update my Photoshop Elements or do I have to purchase new version? Please advice.

John Waller,
Glad to know I will be able to update it, I also try to research for purchasing full version at some store.
Thank you.
