Navigating the image in ACR

I should probably know this. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I try to navigate through an image in Camera Raw to check for dust spots by using the PageUp and PageDown keys. Also use the Home key to go to the upper left corner to start the process.
But when I first open an image and press Cmd-Opt-zero (or double click on the magnifyer tool) to go to 100% view the navigation keys don't seem to work. I have to first use the hand tool (or spacebar) to move the image slightly. After that I can press Home to go to the corner and then press PageDown to quickly move through the image.
Also, is there a way to move horinzontally? I think you can this in Lightroom by pressing the Caps Lock key.
Thanks!
John

John,
I duplicated your process, same result. It seems that there has to be some operation within the image window before that pane is "focused" for keyboard operations. For example, if one selects some item in the wb field then the Page Up and Page Down keys move thru different wb values. Apparently there is no default pane or field focus at the time CR opens.
So apparently not much to do for it, can select the magnifying tool, repeatedly click in the image to go to 100%, and then use keys. Or do a wb operation, or anything else involving a click within the image pane. And I could not come up with any horizotnal step move using the keyboard.

When opening an image in Adobe Camera Raw in CC, the image is solid red

The image is solid red and not my image. I have been working on an image and several layers of work done on things like white balance, color cast. When I add a CAL I cant get to ACR at all. If im on the previous CAL I can open in ACR but with the red image. I am on a Mac 10.8.5 Have the latest version of CC installed. Help!
An hour later I went back and on a copy of my Background layer, I opened the image in ACR. So what are the parameters of ACR that I don't understand?

You can't do that in ACR, but you can if you open it in Photoshop and use the crop tool there.

Save Image in ACR 5.6 vs. Open/Save from Photoshop CS4

Apologies in advance if this turns out to be cockpit error. Recently started shooting again, after a long hiatus, and boy there have been some changes over the past few years. I feel like Rip Van Winkle.
Was used to early versions of ACR with CS2 and thought I was doing just fine finding my way around a new PC using ACR 5.6 RC with Photoshop CS4, when I processed my first shoot using the two. Followed my old/usual raw workflow with Photomechanic selects -> Bridge -> batch processing with Photoshop, when I noticed the JPEGs PS was saving from my PS Action didn't reflect adjustments I had set in ACR/Bridge.
The Action was pretty simple, just did an open, a few simple adjustments, profile/mode conversion, and a save as JPEG. I tried running the Action two different ways, once from Bridge and once directly in PS, and got the same result.
Scratching my head (this stuff used to work fine), I opened all the images into ACR from Bridge, clicked Select All, then clicked Save Images, and saved them as JPEGs into a folder. This worked, where each JPEG written reflected the crop, WB, exposure/brightness, contrast/black settings I had made through ACR/Bridge.
Any idea what I've overlooked? I tried this using both 32-bit and 64-bit PS. The PC is running Win7 RTM x64. The camera body is a Canon 7D, which is why I installed ACR 5.6 RC. I'm otherwise really tickled with everything. Nice to see the progress made by everyone in the industry while I was away. Thanks in advance...

If you are running an action during a Batch operation you need to be sure that either you DON'T record ad Open step and select Suppress File Open and Color Profile Warnings in which case the Camera Raw settings in play for a given image will be processed in or make sure you _DO_ record an open step making sure you select the correct workflow settings (color space, resolution, etc) but without making ANY adjustments while recording the open step and make sure you've selected the Override Action Open Command...
It's confusing until you understand what it is your are or not recording...
When you record a an open step while selecting the Workflow settings and NOT making any image adjustments all you are recording is the workflow settings. Then in Batch you tell the Batch to ignore the Open command and only use the Workflow settings...
Otherwise you don't actually need to record an explicit open step...you won't have any absolute control over what Workflow setting are in play-but since the Workflow settings are sticky you can open an image to double check the settings and click Done and then you've set the Workflow settings manually (not in an action).
The other oddity when recording an open action step in Photoshop is that the actual command to open must come from Photoshop...this may seem simple but it's not. I keep a spare raw file on the desktop so when recording an Open action I can start in Photoshop and turn on recording then drag & drop the raw file onto my Photoshop Icon to make sure Photoshop is opening the image then click to set the Workflow settings and specifically do NOT make any other image adjustment steps (they would also be recorded) and continue with the Open, then whatever other steps you need to add before recording the Save and Close steps (yeah, same tricky deal on the end with the Save As recorded and the Override Action Save As Commands...
If all of the above makes your eye's glaze over (the best time to learn how to do this stuff is NOT when you are under the gun or a deadline) I suggest you try using Image Processor...easier to set up and learn, not nearly as powerful as a Batch Action though...

Images in ACR are softer than when viewed in Photoshop?

Greetings,
I'm finding that when I view a RAW image in ACR 4.1 that the image does not appear as sharp as when I open the image from ACR into Photoshop and view it in Photoshop. I open my RAW files from ACR into Photoshop as PSD files. The image as viewed in Photoshop looks sharper at values less than 100%. Here's a screen grab of the same image (Photoshop on the left, ACR on the right), side by side at the exact same viewing size (23.1%), and the Photoshop image has more sharpness and clarity to it. It's minor, but noticeable in the leaves and bricks and it gives the ACR image an overall soft feeling.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1jidvrPRXgXSfq8c5IHonNL13oeEI
Do the programs handle interpolation diferrently when viewing images at less than 100%? Or, do RAW and PS files inherently display differently when not viewed at 100%? When both are viewed at 100%, they match. This isn't a major deal breaker -- but the lack of clarity at smaller viewing sizes in ACR is unfortunate, since I rarely view images in ACR at 100% size when I'm reviewing images and images that I think are soft are, in fact, not.
The disparity seems more pronounced with images in portrait orientation.
I'm using a Mac Pro, Radeon X1900, 23" ACD. Canon 5d images.
Anyone experience similar? I love ACR, but wondering if someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks for the clarification now -- it makes sense. I knew ACR only showed the effects of sharpening at 100%, but had forgotten to take into account Photoshop shows the effects of sharpening at all sizes, including under 100%

How to display the images in the custom pluggable navigation.

Hi,
I have created a custom pluggable navigation and i need to show my custom images for the tabs in the primary navigation. where do i need to put my images and how will i need to render the images. Any thoughts will be helpful.
Thanks in advance - Emmanuel

1- put your images in a directory under the web app directory. Example: app/images/
2- in your jsp, use: String file = application.getRealPath("/images/"); to get the images directory. See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
3- it's not the right forum to post this kind of question. Post them in the JSP/Servlet JSTL forum instead

Recently downloaded a trial version of CC and when trying to use the Adjustment Brush in ACR it brings up the message 'All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image'. I've downloaded this as an update to CS5 on my new i Mac. Would appreciate suggestions to remedy this. Rhonda

I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything." In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens. You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.

How to change the size of the image view

I recently upgraded to CS5.1 from CS3. In CS3 there was an icon in the panel on the right side of the screen (I don't know the name of those panels) that had the option of zooming in on the image, and another icon for zooming out.
I can't find this capability in CS5... Could someone please tell me how to activate it?
Thanks!

Edit
Are you talking about Window > Navigator?
Other than that zooming with command-space-click-and-drag and the keyboard shortcuts are options.

Please help. How can I get rid of this red dotted border around my navigation bar images?

And left-click and hold down your mouse, but don't release, on any of the navigation button images. Notice the red dotted border? How can I get rid of those?
All images already have border set to 0.

I just noticed your page has no css. so in Code View, replace this closing tag:

Here's How to change the image on the TOC to be different for each chapter.

Suppose you don't follow the Very Strict default Rule that you use the exact same image parameters (shape, pixels, size, etc.) for your Table of Contents image entry as you use for its associated Chapter, a requirement built in to iBooks Author that applies universally to ALL Chapters under the One Image Size and Location is Best For Everyone rule. Suppose you start adding chapters and messing with each chapter's image and then, later, it occurs to you to get the TOC all set up and when you go there you encounter a mess. Either by chance one of the images you had in one of your chapters found its way to the TOC and, gosh, now every TOC entry for every chapter has the very same exact size and location image! This is not part of your grand plan and then... how to make lemonade here? It's Not Obvious.
You can resolve this in your favor. You must do this patiently.
First, whatever image size is created in any chapter TOC window—by dragging the image placeholder handle re-size box—will apply to ALL image entries (i.e., chapter image entries) in the TOC . If you want maximum flexibility make the image placeholder box big. Hint: you may need to mess with the Edit Mask option in order to get the image placeholder size box in the size and location you want. An option here in preparing your images is to **** with Photoshop or Preview to really engineer the images that will be used for the Chapter Page and, separately, the TOC / these could be the same content images but formatted differently in order to look nice in their respective locations. The Chapter Page image can be manipulated on the Chapter Page. On the other hand, the TOC image must fit within whatever (universal) size you've created.
Plan ahead
Get your TOC images ready.
Loop until done:
a) from the Finder menu, right click on the filename of the image to be put in the TOC / select the menu item “Copy”..this image. This puts the image in the clipboard. Another way to get the image in the clipboard is to pull it up with Preview and pretend to crop it (full size) then command-C. Another way: just click on it if it is in a file somewhere and again command-C.
b) Click on the Table of Contents option (near the top of the left navigation column in ibooks Author ) and navigate to the TOC chapter for this image by clicking on the correct chapter “button” (a white dot in a black background surrounded by a white rounded-corner box) in the center bottom of the TOC chapter window;
c) Click on the image placeholder in this chapter TOC window to reveal the highlight boxes defining the boundary of the image;
d)command-V (paste); Voila! the image is in the TOC. NOTE: dragging the image into the highlighted imagebox (see c) above) will NOT work.
e) mess with the image by clicking the mask editor button so the image fits as desired being careful to move the image only and not resize the image box.
Go back to loop and repeat.

Finally, after a while, I finally found all the procedure explained,

DW8 says there's no margin, but the image is still 10 or so pixels off

Okay, so I'm new to DW and am using DW8 (what's the newest
version anyway?)
Here's the background and my problem:
I'm working with a graphics designer in redesigning the site
for our non-profit organization, and she has a gradient along the
left side of the page. At the top of the gradient, she has a logo
blends with the gradient. The navigation bar then runs along the
top of the page with drop-down menus designed in Fireworks. It's a
beautiful design, but I'm having trouble getting things to work
properly when I'm importing them into DW.
Once again, I'm new to DW as well as FW, but I'm a quick
learner (i think). I brought these aspects (the gradient, logo,
site name, and nav bar) together in FW. I want these to form the
template for all the pages of the site so I brought them into DW to
do so. However, I need to make sure the background (the gradient)
repeats without the logo repeating. So I exported it separately and
set it as the page background using page properties. I thought that
would be simple enough. However, I can't export just the logo as a
.jpg (which it needs to be in order to look right) without it being
having a white background and no longer blending with the gradient.
So now I thought to myself, that I'd export the whole FW
image (with the gradient, logo, and nav bar) to DW and simply place
it over the gradient background, inserting it as an image, so that
these things show up at the top of the page but the gradient
continues beneath the image. It's been an amazingly frustrating
process, and I know that last idea probably sounds ridiculous to
those more experienced than myself. However, I think it may
actually work. The only problem, and a big one, is that when I
insert the image for the whole FW document (or even for just the
logo itself), even when it says the page has no margins or padding,
it still seems to set this image in and down about 10 pixesls,
making it offset with the gradient background and leaving the edge
of the logo visible (which is supposed to look like it runs off the
page). How can I fix this?
And once it's working, how do I set these two areas, the side
gradient with logo and the top nav bar with site name, to be the
template for the rest of the site with the big open area I have
left on the rest of the page as the editable region? It seems to me
like once I get this set as the template, the rest of the pages
will come together fairly quickly and easily.
Is there another way to do this that would be easier? I'm
very much open to suggestions. I don't yet have the site up on a
testing server to show anyone online, but if you would like to
email me
[email protected], I'd
welcome the correspondence and help in getting this working. I'd
also be willing to send the .html files to someone by email if they
could be helpful. Sorry for the long post, but I've spent all day
working on this problem, and am absolutely desperate. Please help,
and thank you for your time.

You need to set 0 margin and padding on the body tag. Copy
the following
into the head of your document just before the closing head
tag (/head>)
Preferably it should go into an external stylesheet, but by
the sounds of
things you are not using this as yet.
<style type="text/css">

</style>

Once you have added the above to your page, you need to save
the page as a
Template. You will be asked to create an editable region
(which is the area
that will be changed on each child page created from this
template).
The DW help files do offer some information on how to create
Template
pages - that may be the first stop for you :-)

Bridge and Photoshop CS4 will not recognise the images shot in NEF file

Shot in Nikon D810 with NEF file but the images will not recognise with Bridge and Photo
shop CS4

That camera was recently supported for the first time by ACR 8.6, which needs at least CS6 to run. You will never be able to open those raw NEF files in CS4, as there will never be an update for CS4.
Your choices are to upgrade, or to use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each and every batch of raw NEF files in order to convert them to raw DNGs that you can open in CS4.

Thumbnails- how do I see the image?

Help- I heard there is a download patch for this, but I don't know which one it is!!
Every time I upload RAW files to my computer the thumbnails are an Adobe icon and not a smaller version of the image (unless I am in Bridge, then they are the image). I would really like to be able to tell what an image is when I go into My Pictures as well.
Isn't there a fix for this!?

I disagree. The parts are there via WIC in XP and Vista for Adobe to take <br />advantage of. They have chosen not to, despite repeated assurances to the <br />contrary.<br /><br /><Ramón_G_Castañ[email protected]> wrote in message <br />news:[email protected]..<br />> Just to clarify, this is a Windows OS issue, not an ACR issue.

Reverting to original RAW image in ACR

In the past I have almost always used Nikon's Capture NX2 as my RAW editor. In that, it's immediately obvious how to get back to the original NEF camera image, or even choose to go back to different stages in the editing history.
There seems no obvious way to do this in ACR. For example I made a mistake in a RAW edit, but when I reopened the RAW image again from Bridge I got the edited version with the unwanted error.
I would appreciate some guidance on this. In an ideal world, I would like ACR to do what Nikon Capture can do.
I have also just found that, when trying to assign a keyword to this file in Bridge, I got got an "...error writing metadata" message. All the other NEF files in that folder (none of which have yet been edited in ACR) accepted the keywords with no problems.
Since writing the above, I have found that this "error writing metadata" is a common issue for which there seems no solution - it extends back to earlier versions of Bridge (I have CS6 64-bit with vety latest updates).
I have deleted the sidecar file for the file in question, but the error remains.
I cannot help being a little concerned about what ACR actually does to the file. Maybe I'll go back to Capture NX2 (not without its own problems) unless there are some solutions to these issues.

There are several ways to go back/edit history.
In Bridge, select the photo you edited in ACR. You can see the Edited symbol above the photo upper right.
Go to Edit menu, Develop Settings, Clear Settings.
In ACR you can also make Snapshots of different times in your editing session.
Go the Snapshot tab (the rightmost tab) in ACR. Click the New Snapshot icon in the bottom right and name the snapshop. You then can go back to a previous edit by simply clicking its tab. The caveat is that you need to manually add these Snapshots as you go along.
You can also go back to an earlier edit and Open the Image in Photoshop while still retaining the later edit shapshots in ACR
Lighroom has a real time history that you can go back to a previous edit. This history is automatic. I'm not sure if the history is retained after the file is closed and then reopened. I tend to think not, but you can also create Snapshots in Lightroom.

I am having problems opening images renerated in lightroom5 into cs6. Cs6 bridge does not see the lightroom libarary. If I open lightroom and right clik the image, edit in cs6, 6 opens but the picture doesnot follow. What is going on? Give me a hand.

What edition of LR 5? What edition of ACR does PSCS 6 contain. If they are not parallel (same edition number x in [5 or 8].x ), is LR making a tiff or psd rendition of the image?
