Photoshop Elements 16 bit/ProPhoto RGB  ?

At this point in time I don't believe PSE10 or indeed 11 supports 16 bit working or ProPhoto RGB. This is an issue when transferring images from Lightroom for editing in Layers etc. I currently use Photoshop CC for this purpose, which is great but to be honest complete overkill for my purposes. PSE would be absolutley spot in if it could handle editing in 16 bit and/or ProPhoto RGB.
Can anyone shed any light on future releases of PSE and if/when this functionality will be included.
I know these facilities aren't there at the moment.
Thanks.

16 bits : PSE10 and PSE11 support 16 bits, except for layers and local tools.
Both can handle native Prophoto files. Just try it with Prophoto files from Lightroom. You are limited to sRGB or aRGB if you are working from your camera's raws or jpegs directly in PSE, but since you have Lightroom, you don't miss anything.
But the real answer is that advanced Elements users without LR do use the ACR module, which works in 16 bits and Prophoto (from raws or jpegs). Nearly all adjustments where 16 bits is important to avoid posterization can be done in ACR. Anyway all your output devices (display or printer) will require 8 bits and sRGB or aRGB.

  • Photoshop Elements 32-bit to 64-bit

    I just purchased Photoshop Elements for windows 7 32-bit but I need 64 bit. Am I able to convert from one to the other?

    Hi,
    Which version of PSE you have?
    PSE13 comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit while PSE12 and older versions were 32-bit.
    If you are on a 64 bit machine, you would need 64-bit version of PSE13 while on 32-bit machines, 32-bit PSE13 would be required.
    Thanks

  • Images opened in ProPhoto RGB has heavy banding

    HI,
    I am a photographer, and I shoot Canon 5D and 1Dmk3, shooting RAW and in AdobeRGB.
    If I open a correctly exposed CR2 file in Camera Raw, applying no changes at all to the photo, open it as ProPhotoRGB 16-bit, I get heavy banding in the shadows and gradients when the image opens in PS.
    If I then try to use a brush (normal soft tip), I also get heavy banding and posterization on the transitions between the different shades of that brush.
    I have double checked that my image, when open in PS, is indeed 16 bit ProPhoto RGB.
    If I open the same image in Camera Raw, but change the color space to Adobe RGB, these issues are gone!
    Late 2013 27" iMac with 24GB RAM, 750GTX with 2GB VRAM.
    RUnning OS X Yosemite 10.10 and latest PS CC 2014.
    DIsplay is calibrated, and these issues does not show when opening the same CR2 in Aperture.
    ANy ideas.

    I Should add, that if I create a new empty document with the same settings (ProPhotoRGB/16bit/300dpi), the same brush works fine.
    I recently did a shoot where I used a dark grey seamless background, and any given image looks great in Lightroom and ACR (imported as DNG), but when editing the same image in PS with the settings above, I get banding, pixelation, and posterization in the shadows, and in the light falloff on the grey background.
    Using raw files directly makes no difference from a DNG version...
    Again, change just the color space from ProPhoto to AdobeRGB, issue goes away most of the time.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 does not install on Win 8.1 64bit

    Hi!
    My system: Windows 8.1 64 bit with all patches, 32GB Ram and engough HD space.
    I downloaded PSE 12 32bit and Premiere Elements 12 64bit. Both won't install.
    Problems:
    Premiere: Installation fails when shared components should be installed. I spent more than 2hrs trying every tip I found in forums. Same result.
    Photoshop: It always tries to deinstall Elements 12 (which is definetely not installed) and fails becaus of "Specified path is empty". It was never fully installed. I cleaned all folders manually, I deleted registry entries according forum advise. I rebooted. I put the installation files onto C:. Before I installed, I deinstalled Elements 9. I also cleaned those files. An no, I did not deinstall my Antivirus. I cannot deactivate it and deinstalling is a very very bad option.
    What I already tried:
    10 reboots
    Deinstall old version
    Clean Temp folder
    Clean Registry
    Delete all folders and hopefull all registry "Elements" entries
    Archive OOBE Folder
    Moved installation Files to C:
    Start Installation as Administrator
    Monitored if any other Adobe program is running - killed all
    Any help is much apreshiated. I am desperate and about to return the products.

    Added solution attempts.

    Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
    Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
    My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
    After setting up the setting up the system.
    I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
    -I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
    -enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
    I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
    i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
    C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
    C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
    I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
    I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
    I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
    Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

  • PS CS with color space set to Prophoto RGB - will ACR change embedded profiles?

    Probably a foolish question but my problem is that I have a mixture of files:
    My own files (all initially RAW (NEF) which I import into ACR as 16 bit Prophoto RGB ).
    Files from family members and from slide scanning performed elsewhere - they are in 2 groups:
    The first of these from elsewhere acquired files were all JPEGs that I converted to Tiffs in Bridge before setting out to edit them-- all unfortunately 8bit and sRGB.
    The scanned files were scanned as tiffs but also 8bit and sRGB.
    My normal procedure is that I in ACR I have set the files to 16 bit and Prophoto RGB. In PS the same but also to preserve embedded profiles. I have the impression that working with the "foreign" files in 16 bit does give me more room for editing but that I should continue with the embedded profiles.
    Is there a way to ensure that the color profiles are not changed in ACR even if the line in the middle below says 16 bit Prophoto RGB (I have PS CS5). I would hate to have to change this line each time I view a file in ACR. I would hate more to loose the editing facilities in ACR as these acquired files do need som special care before they are mixed with my own in our family albums. I prefer the 16 bit Prophoto RGB option for my own files as I like to play with them - i.e. apart from including them in Photo Albums.
    I do see that a logical way is to process all the acquired files before going to my own files but it is so much more practical for me to work with a mixture of the files sorted chronologically - a year or month at the time.
    I would even consider getting an upgrade to CS6 if this version could help me.
    Can someone enligthen me?
    Thanks, Git

    Hi, Tom.
    The real issue here is getting accurate color. You can't get accurate color by setting your monitor profile to sRGB. sRGB is a virtual color space that doesn't describe the exact color gamut of any physical device. But, in order to display sRGB or any color space accurately, you need to get a characterization of your monitor.
    Here is an AWESOME way to get access to a colorimeter: http://www.lensrentals.com/rent/pantone-huey-colorimeter Looks like for $32 you can rent this for a week. Go in on this with a friend and profile both of your monitors and hardly pay a thing. If you have a reasonably good quality LCD monitor, this custom profile you make will be fairly accurate for many months. At the very least, this is way more accurate than having no regular calibration at all.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can't install photoshop elements 12 or premiere elements 12

    just downloaded the above. when installing photoshop elements (64 bit) it gets as far as trying to install the organiser BUT then get error 1401 see below.
    when trying to install premiere elements 12 (64 bit) get so far then error 1406 - see below.
    have followed all adobe support webpage suggestions (clean boot, new user, deleted temp files.
    I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Thanks

    I think "error 1406" is an issue on Windows, when the software can't add something into the registry.
    Are you the admin or do you have the rights to read and write?
    Do you have a software like "WebRoot Spysweeper" or something like that on your pc? They often reject these kind of orders

  • Why does Lightroom (and Photoshop) use AdobeRGB and/or ProPhoto RGB as default color spaces, when most monitors are standard gamut (sRGB) and cannot display the benefits of those wider gamuts?

    I've asked this in a couple other places online as I try to wrap my head around color management, but the answer continues to elude me. That, or I've had it explained and I just didn't comprehend. So I continue. My confusion is this: everywhere it seems, experts and gurus and teachers and generally good, kind people of knowledge claim the benefits (in most instances, though not all) of working in AdobeRGB and ProPhoto RGB. And yet nobody seems to mention that the majority of people - including presumably many of those championing the wider gamut color spaces - are working on standard gamut displays. And to my mind, this is a huge oversight. What it means is, at best, those working this way are seeing nothing different than photos edited/output in sRGB, because [fortunately] the photos they took didn't include colors that exceeded sRGB's real estate. But at worst, they're editing blind, and probably messing up their work. That landscape they shot with all those lush greens that sRGB can't handle? Well, if they're working in AdobeRGB on a standard gamut display, they can't see those greens either. So, as I understand it, the color managed software is going to algorithmically reign in that wild green and bring it down to sRGB's turf (and this I believe is where relative and perceptual rendering intents come into play), and give them the best approximation, within the display's gamut capabilities. But now this person is editing thinking they're in AdobeRGB, thinking that green is AdobeRGB's green, but it's not. So any changes they make to this image, they're making to an image that's displaying to their eyes as sRGB, even if the color space is, technically, AdobeRGB. So they save, output this image as an AdobeRGB file, unaware that [they] altered it seeing inaccurate color. The person who opens this file on a wide gamut monitor, in the appropriate (wide gamut) color space, is now going to see this image "accurately" for the first time. Only it was edited by someone who hadn't seen it accurately. So who know what it looks like. And if the person who edited it is there, they'd be like, "wait, that's not what I sent you!"
    Am I wrong? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I shoot everything RAW, and I someday would love to see these photos opened up in a nice, big color space. And since they're RAW, I will, and probably not too far in the future. But right now I export everything to sRGB, because - internet standards aside - I don't know anybody who I'd share my photos with, who has a wide gamut monitor. I mean, as far as I know, most standard gamut monitors can't even display 100% sRGB! I just bought a really nice QHD display marketed toward design and photography professionals, and I don't think it's 100. I thought of getting the wide gamut version, but was advised to stay away because so much of my day-to-day usage would be with things that didn't utilize those gamuts, and generally speaking, my colors would be off. So I went with the standard gamut, like 99% of everybody else.
    So what should I do? As it is, I have my Photoshop color space set to sRGB. I just read that Lightroom as its default uses ProPhoto in the Develop module, and AdobeRGB in the Library (for previews and such).
    Thanks for any help!

    Okay. Going bigger is better, do so when you can (in 16-bit). Darn, those TIFs are big though. So, ideally, one really doesn't want to take the picture to Photoshop until one has to, right? Because as long as it's in LR, it's going to be a comparatively small file (a dozen or two MBs vs say 150 as a TIF). And doesn't LR's develop module use the same 'engine' or something, as ACR plug-in? So if your adjustments are basic, able to be done in either LR Develop, or PS ACR, all things being equal, choose to stay in LR?

    PS RGB Workspace:  ProPhotoRGB and I convert any 8-bit documents to 16-bit before doing any adjustments.
    Why does one convert 8-bit pics to 16-bit? Not sure if this is an apt comparison, but it seems to me that that's kind of like upscaling, in video. Which I've always taken to mean adding redundant information to a file so that it 'fits' the larger canvas, but to no material improvement. In the case of video, I think I'd rather watch a 1080p movie on an HD (1080) screen (here I go again with my pixel-to-pixel prejudice), than watch a 1080p movie on a 4K TV, upscaled. But I'm ready to be wrong here, too. Maybe there would be no discernible difference? Maybe even though the source material were 1080p, I could still sit closer to the 4K TV, because of the smaller and more densely packed array of pixels. Or maybe I only get that benefit when it's a 4K picture on a 4K screen? Anyway, this is probably a different can of worms. I'm assuming that in the case of photo editing, converting from 8 to 16-bit allows one more room to work before bad things start to happen?
    I'm recent to Lightroom and still in the process of organizing from Aperture. Being forced to "this is your life" through all the years (I don't recommend!), I realize probably all of my pictures older than 7 years ago are jpeg, and probably low-fi at that. I'm wondering how I should handle them, if and when I do. I'm noting your settings, ssprengel.
    ssprengel Apr 28, 2015 9:40 PM
    I save my PS intermediate or final master copy of my work as a 16-bit TIF still in the ProPhotoRGB, and only when I'm ready to share the image do I convert to sRGB then 8-bits, in that order, then do File / Save As: Format=JPG.
    Part of the same question, I guess - why convert back to 8-bits? Is it for the recipient?  Do some machines not read 16-bit? Something else?
    For those of you working in these larger color spaces and not working with a wide gamut display, I'd love to know if there are any reasons you choose not to. Because I guess my biggest concern in all of this has been tied to what we're potentially losing by not seeing the breadth of the color space we work in represented while making value adjustments to our images. Based on what several have said here, it seems that the instances when our displays are unable to represent something as intended are infrequent, and when they do arise, they're usually not extreme.
    Simon G E Garrett Apr 29, 2015 4:57 AM
    With 8 bits, there are 256 possible values.  If you use those 8 bits to cover a wider range of colours, then the difference between two adjacent values - between 100 and 101, say - is a larger difference in colour.  With ProPhoto RGB in 8-bits there is a chance that this is visible, so a smooth colour wedge might look like a staircase.  Hence ProPhoto RGB files might need to be kept as 16-bit TIFs, which of course are much, much bigger than 8-bit jpegs.
    Over the course of my 'studies' I came across a side-by-side comparison of either two color spaces and how they handled value gradations, or 8-bit vs 16-bit in the same color space. One was a very smooth gradient, and the other was more like a series of columns, or as you say, a staircase. Maybe it was comparing sRGB with AdobeRGB, both as 8-bit. And how they handled the same "section" of value change. They're both working with 256 choices, right? So there might be some instances where, in 8-bit, the (numerically) same segment of values is smoother in sRGB than in AdobeRGB, no? Because of the example Simon illustrated above?
    Oh, also -- in my Lumix LX100 the options for color space are sRGB or AdobeRGB. Am I correct to say that when I'm shooting RAW, these are irrelevant or ignored? I know there are instances (certain camera effects) where the camera forces the shot as a jpeg, and usually in that instance I believe it will be forced sRGB.
    Thanks again. I think it's time to change some settings..

  • Open a HDR 32 bits per channel file in photoshop elements.

    Photoshop elements 4 with a hdr 32 bits per channel file in rgb mode opened and being converted to 8 bits using the built in hdr conversion dialog.

    If you want to open RAW files with JavaScript I would recommend you record the process with ScriptingListener.plugin and use the resulting code.
    It is possible with the Document Object Model, too, though.
    To see the properties you can refer to ESTK Help > Object Model Viewer or Photoshop-CS6-JavaScript-Ref.pdf.
    But if Muppet Mark’s advice applies maybe you can stick with AppleScript for this.
