Opening multiple RAW files in Adobe Camera RAW

Former CS6 user. Now trying CC but can't find a way to select an open only the RAW files in ACR, in a folder that has both RAW and jpeg files. There are options for select certain types of files but RAW is not an option like it was in CS6. I need to be able to quickly open many RAW files in ACR without having to ctrl-click each RAW file to avoid opening the jpeg files.

I have more than 100 files in a folder. Half are RAW and the other half are the matching jpeg files. It is too cumbersome to use the ctrl key and select each of the 100 RAW files. You can select certain kinds of files in a dropdown box titles ALL FORMATS but unfortunately RAW files are not one of the options. In PS6, RAW files was one of the choices. I could screen for RAW files and then see only RAW files in my folder. I could then select one file, hold the shift button down and select any number of RAW files at once. I do thousands of pictures and need fast options. If all else fails I could select and open the RAW files do Adobe Camera RAW through Adobe Bridge but that adds another step.
So if anyone can figure out a faster way to open many RAW files at once in ACR, I would appreciate the help.

  • Can I open multiple jpeg files in Adobe Camera Raw ?

    Hi, it seems that I cannot do this - not an option in PE11 ??  Such a pity if not ! 
    I can open one JPEG at a time, or multiple Raw images in ACR. 
    Have checked other sources including Barbara Brundage "The Missing Manual" but whilst it does not
    specifically say you cannot, likewise there is no indication that you can.
    Cheers

    Many thanks, Barbara.  Must admit I had more or less assumed that was the reason.  Just living in hopes !

  • How to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw

    I know it is possible to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw using Bridge but is it possible to do this using PSE7?  Thanks.

    Yes. In the editor, File>Open As, and choose camera raw as the format. John Ellis also has a script for doing this directly from the organizer, but I don't have the link right at the moment. Hopefully he'll be along with it sooner or later.

  • I can't open three raw files from Adobe Camera Raw to Nik Efex

    Something strange is going on that never happened before.  I used to be on CS6 but now am on CC with the latest Adobe Camera Raw.  I used to be able to select three photos in camera raw and then click Tools and then I'd see my Nik Efex plugins and choose which one I wanted.  But all I see now is Photoshop under Tools at the bottom as an available option to open the files.
    How do I open three files into Nik Efex HDR from Camera Raw?  Is there something wrong here or am I just not doing things correctly.  It seems I was doing this before and now I can't. 

    Oh good lord.  I can't believe I spent so much time on this and it's right there under Google.  Thank you so much!  Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Do you have any neartime plans to implement Fuji Xe-1 RAF format of RAW files into Adobe camera RAW?

    having recently purchased the amazing fuji x-e1 i was quite disapointed to find a lack of RAW support for the fuji's RAF files.
    are there any plans to add this soon or to the next update of adobe camera raw?

    This is a user-to-user forum.  Although there are some Adobe employees who monitor this forum occasionally, you are not addressing Adobe when you ask a question.  Most of the people who comment here are simply users like yourself.  However, you should know that updates are made available about every three months.  And, usually, new cameras will be supported in the next version of Lightroom and Camera Raw, unless the camera is released too close to an Adobe update.  If that happens, then you can usually expect support for the camera to be in the next update.  None of us know when that will happen, and anyone who works for Adobe is not at liberty to divulge that information.  Your camera will probably be supported in the near future, but you will simply have to wait and see when that will take place.  I know, not a real satisfactory answer.  But that's the way it is.

  • I can't open canon .CR2 files in Adope camera raw in CS3

    When i want to open my .CR2 file from my Canon camera 40D into bridge or photoshop CS3 it does not open it and it can't recognize the file in some way.  My computer is working with windows vista.  I really need help as i dont know why it is not doing it.  Thanks

    Distilling the Tech Note down, essentially you can't open .CR2 files in CS3.  I think CS4 is the first version that has .CR2 compatibility.  One option that doesn't involve upgrading to CS4 is to download the free Adobe DNG converter and convert your .CR2 files to .dng.  Then you can open them in CS3.
    No, that isn't right.  The Canon 40D was supported in at least the last version of Camera Raw for CS3.  There are a few things you need to verify.
    1.  In Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw in the list.  It will tell you what version you have installed.  You should have Camera Raw 4.6 listed, and it should only be listed once.  If there are additional listings then you have a problem.  Camera Raw will now work.
    2.  Get the download instructions from the Adobe download website and make sure Camera Raw is installed in the right folder.  It must be that specific folder, and there can be no other versions of Camera Raw in the Adobe file structure.
    3.  Are you able to see your raw images in Bridge?  If not, then there is something wrong with your installation.
    Check these things out and make sure everything is set up properly.  Then maybe we can help you further.

  • How do I open a layer in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw)?

    when I open a jpg file, it opens in its own layer.  How to I get to the camera raw dialog with that layer, then return as a smart object?

    Stop the presses!  It can be done! 
    There is a CS6 Photoshop extension that does exactly this.
    Go here.. http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
    Then scroll down a bit to find "Edit Layers in ACR"
    I tried it.. it works very well!

  • Unable to open Canon CR2 files after installing Camera Raw 7.3

    I have photoshop elements 8 and have used raw files from my canon 450D for several years.  Just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 11 and it doesn't recognise the .CR2 files o, as far as I can tell any other type of Raw file.  This despite loading Camera Raw 7.3?
    Can anyone help?

    Now then ssprengel
    I think we are getting somewhere.
    I have not had a chance to look at the other logs you suggest yet.  But...........
    I made sure the old Camera Raw.8bi file was remnamed with a totally fictitious extension so that the new file from the linkk you sent could not be mistaken..........but no joy.
    I then copied the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Elements 8 equivalent folder, this is onlly circaa 11Mb instead of circa 20Mb, and..........
    ..........whoa and behold  ............  I can read all my .CR2 files through PSE11 and also PSE* still works!
    You are a star!
    I don't know what other functionality is missing.  Maybe there is some.  I shall have to investigate.
    Maybe the latest plugin only works on x64 systems?
    So next steps are for me to a) review the other logs you suggest, b) try downloading the equivalent files from PSE9 and PSE10 and see if they work, c) ask Adobe why this has happened.
    Many thanks

  • Cant open my CR2 raw files in Bridges camera raw

    Please help, I cannot open my raw files from my new 5d mark 3, in cs6 bridge or Ps for that matter, yes I know do an update from help-update and yes ive done this several times telling me im up to date. the downloader reads them and generates a jpeg thumb but when in bridge they will not render as a jpeg thumb and I cannot open in camera raw, just says do an update well ive done that and i cant get them to open.

    Ask in the PS and ACR forums and provide proper technical info. We don't even know what system you are on so this is pointless.

  • Jpg vs raw file size PSE9/Camera raw 6.3

    It seems that there is quite a difference in jpg file sizes between converting jpg's Process multiple files (batch) or Save as (single photo).
    I'm converting Sony A580 arw files that are about 16xxxxKB each, when doing batch processing file sizes for jpg are larger than raw about 19xxxKB (setting jpg max quality) but when saving same photos Save as setting max quality 12 file sizes are about 14xxxKB.
    Has anyone noticed same behavior when using Camera raw 6.3 and PSE9  ?
    Edit:
    Ooops, I had Auto sharpen selected when I did batch processing.

    None of this is unusual, and I wouldn't worry about it at all.
    I would advise against saving quality 12, it gives you very large files but rarely if ever does it result in a noticeable quality improvement over level 9 or 10, which are smaller.
    If you want to read more about this, here is an excellent article written about Lightroom, but the concepts are the same (PSE uses a 0 to 12 scale, while Lightroom uses a 0 to 100 scale, but other than that, everything is the same for PSE). http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/jpeg-quality

  • Help render the raw files edited with camera raw how?

    Hi
    i have a problem
    i use  bridge cs5 (updated) to browse my raw files
    often i open my raw files with camera raw inside bridge cs5 and make some corrections like exposure , saturation , contrast and so on
    but after bridge doesn't re-render the files
    i mean the thumbs ,previews , the slideshow still are in default setting
    when i click and open with camera raw inside bridge or with photoshop cs5 ,the raw files look with corretions
    but again bridge show me not with the corrections
    i run under w7 32bit
    what could be the problem?
    thanks

    i see previews and thumbs with the edits but with a big delay
    thanks
    If you are using HQ On Demand you will get fast thumbnails, but there will be a delay in generating the preview as Bridge builds it.
    The Always HQ takes more space, but faster as the data is already in cache.
    Hope this helps.

  • Nikon D7100 raw files unreadable with Camera Raw 4.07

    I am running Aperture 3.2.4,  under Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and in light of 'dumbing down' reports, have no wish to upgrade.
    Aperture reports Camara Raw 4.07
    OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
    claims that D7100 support was added in CR 4.06.
    At this time, however if I try to view a RAW file, I get the dreaded Unsupported Image Format.
    What's up?

    You may need to register the RAW support with the launch database again, if this only happened after an update:
    To register your camera with the lauch services database - see this post by Alan Roseman:This solved my questionRe: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish, but read the follow up posts (the lsregister command) as well, on how it is supposed to work and how to correct the typos.
    Reinstalling the Raw Support should also force to register the RAW support again:

  • Why are no Pentax lenses in the Adobe Camera Raw lens profiles when processing JPG files?

    I normally shoot and process raw files and use the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw for processing. Some of these files are converted to jpg for use on the net or e-mailing etc. Sometimes I want to make minor changes to the now converted jpg file and often go to Adobe Camera Raw for ease and speed of use. Lately I have gone back to some files that were not thoroughly processed as raw files before conversion to jpg. When, in ACR, I go to Lens Corrections panel, Profile tab, I Enable Lens Profile Corrections and choose Setup: Auto (or Default) and get the message, "Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically".
    I then go down to Lens Profile and click on Make with the intention of choosing the Pentax lens which I used for the photo. Here is the problem - there are only six choices under make, namely Apple, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony and Tamron. I have no such issues when processing a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw. Pentax lenses are automatically detected and Pentax, along with Leica, Samsung, Zeiss, etc. are choices under Make of lens.
    Do other people have this problem? Is there some setting I have missed? Is Adobe just not permitting some makers' lenses, for which there are profiles, to be corrected if the files are jpgs?
    BTW, I have checked and the same issues exist for tiff files opened in ACR.

    Assuming I read your post correctly, and that you're trying to use Lens corrections on JPEGs and TIFFs...  I believe there's a completely different set of profiles for correcting already "developed" images (such as JPEGs and TIFFs).  If I recall correctly (and it's been a while since I read about this), it's the same set that's used inside Photoshop for the Filter - Lens Correction tool (I hope someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I read this somewhere).
    If your lenses are known to Camera Raw when you develop raw files, I suggest you will need to go all the way back to your Raw file and reprocess it from that stage.  You'll get a better result anyway.

  • How to open multiple jpgs in Adobe Camera Raw PSE 9 Mac

    I am using Adobe Elements 9 on a Mac.  I can open a single jpeg file in ACR with the file open command.  There is no "Open As" in my version, probably because this is the Mac version.  But, there is an additional dialog which allows me to open the jpeg file and select "Camera Raw" as the type.  This opens the jpg in the raw editor.
    But, when I select multiple files to open, the type dialog vanishes.  Rather than opening the files in ACR, they are stacked in the main editor.  I don't have this problem opening multiple dng files - just multiple jpg files.  Multiple jpg files will not open in ACR.
    I then went to the organizer, which replaced Bridge?  In Bridge, I read there is a command to open multiple files in ACR or use the cmd-R.  However, I am not seeing an open in ACR command in the organizer, just open in editor.  Opening multiple jpg files in the organizer stacks them into the editor, not ACR.  And, typing cmd-R brings up Red Eye reduction, not Raw Editing.
    Is there a trick to this which I am missing?

    Thanks Terry! I’ve been using this for a few years and settled on the somewhat more flexible approach… As you mentioned, Bridge offers an explicit command to open a JPEG or TIFF in Camera Raw, which I do, but then with a press of Shift I can open that JPEG as a smart object and revisit CR controls for further adjustment at any time later in the process.
