New to camera raw and have a basic question

Hello,
I have just started playing with camera raw and when I make changes, and say done, I am able to open that image up and continue with the corrections, which is great.
but.....
If I open up an image that has been edited in camera raw, and I want to get back to the original and start again, how would I do that?
thanks

I don't know if you made a small typo, but you don't want to "Reset Camera Raw Defaults" - that affects all future file opens (assuming you have saved custom defaults for your camera in the past).
You just want to check the entry Camera Raw Defaults up near the top to affect the selected image(s) alone.

  • New to computer based recording - have a basic question

    Hello all,
    I have been recording on a stand alone multi-track machine for some time. I'm wanting to expand how many tracks I have and utilize the editing possibilities of Garageband 3. So, here's my basic question. I already have some songs recorded on the multi-tracker. The unit has the ability to export each track as a wav. file to the computer. I'm trying to find a fairly simple computer program that will allow me to import each track, remain in sync, and continue adding new tracks from the stand alone. For example, say I record 14 tracks on the stand alone and I still need another 10 tracks. I loathe bouncing because of the loss of control. Using Garageband 3, can I import the 14 tracks to a separate track each, record another 10 tracks on the stand alone, import those 10 tracks into the same project as the other 14 tracks, remain in sync, and then be able to edit, sweeten, etc all of the tracks? I have no real desire to record direct to the computer since I have a really nice set up already. I just want more tracks and the ability to edit them better than on the stand alone. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Yes, you can, as long as all your Tracks have the same Start point.

  • I am new to the Mac and have a stupid Question

    So I am not really this stupid but would love it if someone could tell me how to remove a program.
    I downloaded some driver software in order to set me up onto the network printer at work. Along with that software came some sort of device locator for which I have no need nor patience. The file name is "com.brother.ControlCenter.plist" and the program name is "Brother Control Center Ver. 2.4.3"
    I have deleted the file from the program list, I have changed the preferences of the program to try and disable it from launching at start up. I have drug it into the trash on the desk top and emptied the trash immediately after and through all of this my nemesis continues to launch at start up and then prompt me for a device choice.
    Please tell me how to completely remove this program file.
    Thanks

  • Camera RAW and Photoshop won't support RAW photos from my new Panasonic Lumix FZ70

    I have a new camera, Panasonic Lumix FZ70.  When I try to open  RAW images on my compupter or in Photoshop CS5.1, I get a message that says Camera Raw and Photoshop don't support RAW images from this camera.  What can I do to fix this? Thank you!

    Support is available with ACR 8.2 release which works with PS CS6 and CC.
    DNG converter can be downloaded from following link:

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

  • Open pictures in Camera RAW and still have paths/clipping paths?

    Hello
    A big problem in Bridge is that I can not open my pictures in Camera RAW and still have my paths left. I work in a place where we get loads of product photos from many different companies and they almost always have a clipping path in it. Many of the pictures do we have to fix like colour, exposure etc and this is here Bridge comes in as the best solution to batchfix them. But now I have to take the long way through Photoshop. Is there a solution for this?, an update from Adobe or a script or something.
    Have a nice day!

    You do know that you can deconfigure Camera Raw from opening TIFFs and JPEGs, right?
    These are the settings I've chosen.  Done this way, JPEGs and TIFFs just open right into Photoshop, and their clipping paths would be intact.

  • Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge

    Every since I updated to the latest Camera Raw and Photoshop I have the following issue: when I finish the photo in Raw and bring it into Photoshop I have white squares in the Photo. If I crop the photo the white square disappears until I zoom to enlarge it then the white square reappears. I do not believe the squares are saved

    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

    Hello all,
    I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw.  My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs?  Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
    Michelle

    Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either.  I've only run it a few times myself.
    If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that.  The forum may be able to help you get that working.
    I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView).  Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
    Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
    1.  Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
    2.  Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
    3.  Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
    4.  Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
    5.  Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
    6.  Save new Camera Raw defaults.
    Some notes:
    Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
    Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
    Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management.  IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
    Hope this helps!

  • Camera raw and bridge: no dialogue in cs3

    After purchasing the Nikon D300 I had to upgrade from CS2 to CS3 as former versions of photoshop are unable to manage the RAW files (NEF) generated by the new camera.
    My problem is that, even having downloaded the 4.3.1 version of Camera Raw and having installed it, there is no dialogue with bridge. I tried to reinstall CS3 as well.
    This means:
    - I miss the Camera Raw preferences setting (under the edit menu in bridge)
    - Always in Bridge I cannot cut and paste (copy and apply) camera raw settings of one photo to others. Neither selecting the edit menu, nor with the mouse's right button.
    The point is not that these and similar selections do not work, the point is that they do not even appear in the menus. The help resources, for instance, tell about a Edit > Develop Settings function that is not present in my menu.
    What is wrong? Is it possible that there is any kind of conflict with Nikon capture NX?
    I'll be grateful to anyone able to help me,
    fm

    Hi All,
    Been reading this thread with interest.
    I am on PC with XP, I have been using CS3 for quite a while now and both my D200 and D300 have all been working perfectly. But over the last few months I have noticed that Bridge was (a) very slow to start and (b) would suddenly come up with the "Bridge has encountered a problem and must close" message. Then it got to the stage were Bridge would not open at all and just the "Problem" message would show and then next PS3 then starting displayed the "There has been a cataclysmic Failure" message.
    So I have used the original CS3 CD and uninstalled and reinstalled and got both programs working but no Camera Raw. If I click on the NEF file it goes to PS and gets the message wrong file type. All the preferences are set ok.
    The other thing that happened was when I downloaded all the updates, Bridge went back to not opening and the "problem" message showing again.
    After reading Xoslic message I will try to take out the registry entries and reinstall again and see if that works.
    For all of you on Nikon, CS3 was working perfectly for me until just recently, so I know that it does work fine.
    Hopefully I will get a soloution and let you know if it works.
    Gerry
    PS. I also had a problem in that Lightroom 1.4 would not work either, opened ok but "lightroom has encountered a problem" message appeared and it closed down. Other people suggested that the problem lay in "Version Cue"

  • Scale difference between Camera Raw and Lens Correction Filter in CS6

    I have the latest Camera Raw plugin (8.6.0.254). When I open an NEF file from a D800, the resulting image is 4912x7360 pixels, whether I apply distortion correction or not.
    If I load the NEF file, do not apply distortion correction in Camera Raw, but then apply it via the Lens Correction Filter, the image must be rescaled to approximately 4840x7252 (some 98.53%) so that it matches the results of the Camera Raw plugin (minus the missing pixels around all four sides, of course).
    Anyone else notice this (particularly in newer versions of Photoshop)? Is there a way to prevent this cropping? The amount of distortion on the lens (35mm) is minimal and, regardless of that, I would have expected Camera Raw and the Lens Correction filter to output identical images after distortion correction, since the lens profile is the same.

    To see if that can be replicated, we'd need to now the exact version of CS6 you're running (e.g. on Mac you should be on Photoshop CS6 13.0.6) and the exact version of your OS.

  • Why the colors look so different betweet my Camera Raw and Bridge?

    We know that after editing images in Camera Raw, thumbnails in Bridge will updated according to the new xmp files.
    However, for some of my Raw files, the colors look very different in Bridge after makeing adjustments in Camera Raw, I can see more red in those phoots. But when I reopen the file in Camera Raw, all the colors are just correct.
    For those photos without applying xmp files the colors looks exactly the same in Camera Raw and Bridge.
    Does this means that my Camera Raw and Bridge use different color space? How can I fix this problem? Thank you

    If you want help, you need to specify your platform (Mac or Windows), the exact versions of your Operating System, Photoshop, ACR plug-in and Bridge.
    Also look at your Bridge preferences and tell us what you have your Thumbnail preferences set to.
    Re-setting your preferences and purging the cache would also help.  It could be something as simple as a corrupt cache.
    Bridge is Color Managed, but it does not use a color space of its own.  It applies the color space with which each image is tagged, it assigns sRGB to untagged files.
    When was the last time you calibrated and profiled your monitor?
    Details would help.

  • RE: Camera Raw and Smart Objects

    Hello Everyone.
    I have a question please.
    Inside the Camera Raw 8.1, Inside the Workflow Options, I Checked the Box for Open In Photoshop as a Smart Objects.
    I noticed Inside the Camera Raw, Open Image box turn to, Open Object box.  I click on open, and It opened the Image as a Smart Objects Inside the Photoshop.
    If I make any changes to the Image, and If I Double Click on the Smart Object, It will Open In Camera Raw again which Is good.
    I also noticed If I do any changes to the Image Inside the Camera Raw to the Smart Object after clicking on Open Smart Objects I see the changes Inside the Photoshop also.
    But If I do any changes to the Image Inside the Photoshop,and later I Double Click on the Image the Image opens Inside the Camera Raw, without any changes.
    This Is my question: The Smart Object Image Is still a Raw Image ?
    This Is my next question:
    I know If I open a Raw Image Inside the Camera Raw, and If I click on Done, the image is still a Raw Image, which Is good, and If I click on Reset Bottom, It will reset It back. If I only change the White Balance  and Click on  Done and go back to the Camera Raw again, and I choose As Shot, the Image goes back the  Original Raw file.
    But If I do other changes such as the exposure, any color change, and click on done I can never go back to the original..
    In the past month I been working with the Lightroom, and I noticed if I open a Raw image Inside the Lightroom, and do any changes to that Image,,  any time I can click on the Reset and the Raw image goes back to its original.
    I don't think we can do this with Camera Raw can we ?

    Clear removes the Camera raw settings completely. You will not see the adjustment icon on the thumbnail in Bridge
    Camera Raw Defaults will show the icon and double clicking the thumbnail will always open it in Camera Raw with the Default settings.  The Default is "As Shot", which is why you don't see any difference. It's when you choose a Custom Default that you will. It will stay with the Camera Raw file.
    See this article by Julienne Kost.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2009/10/setting_new_camera_raw_default.html
    Another difference is with Jpegs. Open a Jpeg in ACR, make an adjustment, click "Done".  Select "Camera Raw Defaults" and it will always open in ACR instead of Photoshop.  Select "Clear" and it's a normal jpeg that will once again open in Photoshop.
    Basically that's about all I know, I normally don't use ACR much.

  • Camera RAW and Yosemite?

    I just updated Aperture 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.01. According to all the info it should read files from my new Canon 7D Mark II.
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203996
    Well it doesn't!
    Adobe Camera Raw also doesn't work with the files from this camera in Photoshop/Lightroom.
    Very frustrating as I like to shoot everything in RAW.
    Anyone have suggestions on why Aperture with latest Camera Raw and Yosemite don't play well together? Or even better how to make Aperture work with these files...  Thanks - Roger

    I was able to figure it out. I downloaded Camera RAW 6.01 from this address
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    and manually installed it. Apparently the App Store update didn't take. After this install all is working as it should.

  • I am new to mac's and have upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion but......

    I am new to mac's and have upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion but not all my application will work. Is it save to reinstall using original snow leopard dvd and does it wipe all my other application like apature? I am in a panic over this, any help!!
    I came across this online and i want to know is it safe to do this:
    Backup your User folders to an external drive. This should preserve your documents, photos, music, etc. If you store those things in locations not in the User folder, make sure to copy those over too.
    Insert the Snow Leopard disc. Restart your Mac and hold down C to boot to your DVD drive.
    Go to Utilities in the menu bar once the installer pops up and select “Disk Utility.”
    Find the drive in the sidebar where Lion is installed, select it and navigate to the Partition tab.
    Click on the drop down menu under Partition Layout and select “1 Partition.” Hit Apply.
    Now navigate to the Erase tab and make sure “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” is selected, then hit Erase to delete all data on the drive.
    Quit Disk Utility to get back to the Snow Leopard installer and proceed with the install.
    Restore your User folder and documents from your backup.
    Run Software Update to get everything current, install your apps from your original install media and update those as well.
    if any one can help me that would be great, thanks Mike

    Before you do that why not do this first:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    To boot from the Recovery HD restart the computer. After the chime hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    If this doesn't help, then you can proceed to reinstall Snow Leopard as follows:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    This will erase the drive so be sure to backup your files before doing this.
