Photoshop raw

can i process raw photos using photoshop 7

The short answer to your question is, no. There was at one time a version of Camera Raw for Photoshop 7, but it only supported a very few cameras and was pretty much experimental compared to what is available today. You need to purchase a current version of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements or Lightroom. Or you can use the raw conversion software that came with your camera.

How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

How do I open a raw image with the Photoshop raw plug in as opposed to the Bridge raw plug-in.

I read in a book on adobe raw that it is often useful to open an image at the same time with the adobe camera raw bridge plug in and the Photoshop camera raw plug in.
I can open a raw image in photoshop but I suspect I am not actually getting access to the camera raw plug in as none of the controls present in the bridge raw plug seem to be available from within Photoshop.
Of course I can access bridge and the bridge raw plug in by opening bridge from within Photoshop but this is not what I want to do. I would like to open the image using the photoshop raw plug in not the bridge plug in.
Clueless . . . and confused.

Thanks for the discussion. It is interesting. Let me clarify a bit regarding my issue.
I am using Mountain Lion OSX on a mac, of course, and CS6. I have been using Aperture, a piece of Apple Software similar to Light Room to organize my images, opening them from Aperture in Photoshop to edit them, as I am both familiar with Photoshop and like the way it does things better than Aperture. I recently started using CS6 and working with Adobe Camera raw 7, which I think is the version that comes with CS6. All the info I can get from the web site, including a very nice tutorial from Adobe on camera raw, simply tells me to open it from Bridge. When I do this, I get a nice set of sliders and other adjustments specifically associated with Adobe Camera Raw and the camera I am using.
I can open a file in Photoshop using the method SkillRooster suggests and, sure enough, it opens it with the camera raw plug-in (if I simply open the image by double clicking on it it opens in photoshop, no plug-in). If I then go to bridge and open it from there, I don't get a second instance of Camera raw, it simply points me at the instance opened through Photoshop.
However, when I open a raw image in Photoshop from Aperture (raw images open with no problem) I simply get the Photoshop interface, not the camera raw plug-in, the same as if I had double clicked on the image to open it from outside of Aperture. I am trying to figure out if there is some way to open an image from Aperture in Photoshop so that it opens in the camera raw plug-in. One possibility I could imagene is to open it in Photoshop and from there open it in the plug-in. The only thing I see regarding this in Photoshop is a menu item that lets me close the image and open Bridge, which doesn't help me with my Aperture issue. I could decide to switch to bridge, but with the thousands of images I now have in Aperture, this would be quite a bit of work. I may just have to work with both going forward.
The root of my original question comes from something I recently read in a book by Bruce Fraser on Camera Raw which is excellent, but it focues on CS 5.5 as he died before being able to update it. In that book he describes a trick he uses where he opens the raw image in a plug-in in Bridge and then opens it a second time using a plug-in in Photoshop. This give him a chance to compare adjustments between the two open images. As I mentioned above, when I try to do this by starting with Photoshop and then going to Bridge, it points me at the same instance. I can't open it in Bridge and then Photoshop since once it is open in Bridge, it won't let me into Photoshop without closing the image in Bridge. I was thinking there might be something in Fraser's method that would help me with my Aperture issue, but can't reproduce what he describes.
Perhaps this was possible in CS5.5 but no longer in CS6.
Another work around I can imagine is to do all my raw editing from Bridge and then save the file as a DNG file in Aperture. I suspect that after that, I am stuck with doing any more raw editing using the Aperture camera raw funcions, which are a bit lacking compared with Adobe Camera Raw.
Hope I am being clear here about my dilemma. Any help would be welcomed.

Raw Files from LR do not open automatically in Photoshop raw processor

I like to edit my images in Photoshop. Could you please advise why after I upload raw files into LR and using photoshop as external editor, the file opens but not in the PS (photoshop) raw processor. I have to work around this by first finding the image in windows explorer and dragging this file into PS. Shouldn’t the file open automatically in the PS raw processor ?

Are you using Photo > Edit in Photoshop (or Ctrl/Cmd+E)?
Are you getting any error messages? Does Photoshop open at all?

Opening 16bit TIFF files in the Photoshop RAW dialog

Quite recently I've found that doing my final adjustments in Camera RAW on renders from 3D programs, particularly Vue 6 Infinite images saved as 16 bit TIFFs, yields superior results very quickly. So far I've found that I can access Camera RAW only from Bridge if the file is TIFF or JPEG. Once a file is processed in Camera RAW, Photoshop recognizes the file should be opened in the CR dialog but I wondered if there is a way to open a TIFF file the first time right into the Photoshop RAW dialog rather than using Bridge?

By Jove You've got it, Ramón! Thank you. I feel rather silly having never looked in Photoshop prefs but now my 16 bit TIFFs open in Camera RAW and I can either manipulate them and save a copy or open them up in Photoshop. This is excellent.
Ann, I'm looking forward to CS4!

IPhoto/Photoshop/RAW issues

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a solution to this.
I've started shooting raw with my Canon 450D. iPhoto seems to be able to import these files without any issues.
I want to be able to edit these files in Photoshop as editing them in iPhoto defeats the purpose of shooting raw.
What I'm doing is control clicking on a raw photo in iPhoto and choosing "edit in external editor". This brings the photo into Photoshop opening the raw editing dialog box. Perfect.
Then the trouble starts - where to from here? If I make adjustments in the Photoshop raw editor and click "done", the image is not updated in iPhoto. If I do a "save as" and try and import a jpeg or tiff or so on into iPhoto, it won't allow this because there is already an image with that filename in there. I can save a jpeg to the desktop and rename the file, import this into iPhoto but then I would have to delete the raw file because I don't want two of the same image in there. I also notice if I save my raw file out from Photoshop as a tiff or psd and put it in iPhoto, iPhoto will change the date and time to a random date and time which is neither the time the photo was shot or the time I saved it out in Photoshop.
Anyway all of these things are incredibly cumbersome, there must be an easier way, right?
Cheers, Darren

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Terence mentioned Expression Media. I use it as my primary DAM (digital asset application) and iPhoto to create special projects, MMe galleries, books, calendars, etc.
EM is considered one of the top DAM apps. You can learn about it and other applications at The DAM Forum - Index. EM lets you manage your folders as you want, edit and write ITPC metadata to the files, has version control in editing if so desired, both with EM's editing tools or a 3rd party like Photoshop. It will be a supported on Macs.
If you want to the RAW photo in iPhoto it's best to use a 3rd party editor that is designed for raw. The downside to that is you will have to save the edited version outside of the iPhoto library and import as a new, separate file.
For what it's worth here are some tips on using PS with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Lightroom develop, Photoshop Raw and Smart objects

I understand that Lightroom's Develop function and Photoshop Raw adjustments are the same. So I adjust in either or. I can then open the photo as a smart object in photoshop. I can then make further adjustments as an adjustment layer. Which I think is the same as both Lightroom's Develop function and Photoshop Raw adjustments? I understand smart objects allows non destructive editing and smart filters.
SO my questions are: When would you not open the photo as a smart object? Surely I should always open the photo as a smart object? If I want to do any editing not allowed to smart objects such as clone stamp I can then create a layer and then apply the clone stamp to the layer, can't I?
Secondly, should I also convert all layers to smart layers or leave them as a normal layer.
Or thirdly, am I way off track?

If I want to do any editing not allowed to smart objects such as clone stamp I can then create a layer and then apply the clone stamp to the layer, can't I?
And that is where the underlying Smart Object starts losing (some of) its usefulness.
Because all those edits will be unaffected if you should choose to change the development settings of the embedded RAW.
Secondly, should I also convert all layers to smart layers or leave them as a normal layer.
What for?
Unless you want to non-destructively apply transformations or Filters or need several instances of something in one file it would mainly cause a drag on performance. (Edit: or bloat the files’s size)
But in those cases Smart Objects offer significant advantages.

Photoshop *.RAW format

Can someone tell me the difference between Photoshop's PSD format and Photoshop's RAW format. This format is located in the formats dropdown as an option when saving.
1. Does the RAW format have a larger gamut than the PSD format?
2. If I export to a Photoshop RAW format, will XMP side cars again be made to keep my changes?
I frequently export DNG photos that have been processed in Lightroom to Photoshop for additional processing such as HDR or retouching that is not possible in Lightroom. I then save my work as a PSD. Sometimes I would like to make a few additional lightroom edits but the PSD no longer has the gamut that the DNG had.
Can someone tell me the reason for the Photoshop RAW format?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
I don't think you need to worry about your message being forwarded to others, you're talking to the right person.

Can't update PhotoShop raw update

I have been to busy to follow up on this but when the PhotoShop raw update 6.5 came via Premiere Elements it would not update but did not give a reason. It continues to try to update with no success.
I use Win7 64bit.
Any thoughts???

Importing Photoshop RAW images into Aperture

When I import Photoshop RAW images that I have made adjustments to, into my Aperture library, they show up as the original RAW files and not with my adjustments. Is there a way to get the RAW adjustments imported as well.
The only reason I need to import them into Aperture is to post them in a web gallery. Or is there a way to create a ME web gallery directly from Photoshop files? How about creating a ME web gallery directly from Lightroom? Anybody have a clue?)
(Btw, in attemtpting to research this topic, I find I am totally unable to do a search of the discussions. Even with a search word like "Aperture", I get no messages. Not matter what search word I enter I get no messages found. ???)
Thanks!
Jim

Thanks for the reply Allen.
I am saving them all as TIFFS now. I was just trying to avoid that time-consuming step. I do not really need them as TIFFS right now. It is to show edited RAW files to a client. Later, when selections are made, I would save that much smaller number of images as TIFFS. But it seems that there is no other way to import the RAW files with the edits into Aperture.
I used to create all of my web albums for clients in PS. But once I got a .mac account, I love and prefer the look of the .mac web galleries. But of course that necessitated importing all my PS files into either iPhoto (not an option) or Aperture. But can these PS web galleries be exported to a .mac web gallery?
Thanks!

Nikon d610 in Photoshop Raw

When will there be an update for Photoshop Raw to be able to read Nikon D610 Raw files?

It already exists.
See
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Support for the D610 was first added to Adobe Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
Which version of Photoshop are you running?
If you're running an earlier version of Photoshop then you must either upgrade or use the DNG converter
Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
Use the converter to convert D610 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in your earlier version of Photoshop.

Lightroom vs. Photoshop Raw conversion

I have noticed that the Lightroom RAW conversion looks about 1/3 to 1/2 stop brighter compared to Photoshop on the same image with the same settings (I'm using LR 2.4 and Photoshop CS4). Anybody else notice this or have any thoughts? I'm assuming they use the same RAW conversion engine.

Thanks for the response. Well, when I export from LR to a JPEG and do the same from Photoshop (viewing them in photoshop), I get two slightly different toned images (I mistakenly said the LR images are brighter...they're actually darker). Viewing them this way should remove any monitor discrepencies (I'm working on a calibrated Lacie 724 monitor with 120% Adobe 1998 gamut so that should not be an issue).

Photoshop raw file issue

Hi
I have photoshop cs5 which I have installed on a new laptop, I use a canon 550d camera and take shots in Raw, I get an error message when trying to open a raw file, I understand that I need a plug in or update that will make my canon 550d raw files compatible, so I have tried downloading 6.1 and other updates/plug ins but I don't really understand what is happening but it is not working, do I need a unzip program? if so I have to spend £30 buying that to be able to install an update?
please help as I have lots of photos to sort out in RAw.
Thank you

Photoshop/Raw plugin only saves files as blank/invisible

I'm working on a batch of photos for a client. From one moment to the next the Photoshop Camera Raw 4.6 plugin (CS3/Windows) stopped saving the .raw files properly as .jpg's. They appear with the file name but they are blank. I can open them but there is nothing there.
I've tried saving as tif or psd, too, but the same problem occurs.
Tough to find info on this on the net. Any help appreciated.

Did the camera exist way back then? No! So how can there be a plug-in? Sorry, you are expecting miracles. Use a standalone RAW converter, download the PS CS5 trial or use another program.

Option for Photoshop CS6 to Automatically Save a TIFF or Photoshop RAW?

I was wondering if there is setting so when you save a picture file, Photoshop will automatically save a copy of the the image in TIFF or RAW format to prevent the loss of picture quality when it is saved as as JPEG. I have one photo editing software that when I saw an open image for the first time, it automatically creates a digital native folder for me with the RAW or TIFF file in it. Can Photoshop do the same thing and if so, how please? T hank you! Kirsten

What version of Camera Raw are you currently using? You need at least version 8.3 but the latest version is 9.
Also, note this document: Adobe Camera Raw Help | Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 or later on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
