Preview raw images

I just updated Bridge to 5.0.2.4. It will not preview a raw image taken with a Canon 5d Mk III. Any ideas?

Should work just fine. All it needs is ACR 5.2 and you should be on 8.2.
The 5D Mk III needs ACR 7.1. He should be fine unless he never updated Camera Raw.

In PS CS5, i can preview raw image but am not able to with PS CC! here are the examples attached

this is photoshop cs5 ^^
this is photoshop cc :

That is correct the was removed. Adobe stated the were using and unsupported Microsoft interface. To hel with the problem I purchases FastPictureCieder Codec packafe. It will generate Thumbnails for RAW and PSD file in Microsoft dialog when you select to view the list of file that way. Its less the $15.00 you can see at least 3 PSD thumbnails here and a CR2 RAW thumbnail. Windows can also show a larger thumbnail in a right side panel

Raw Images still Icons only

After the latest round of updates from Adobe for Windows Bridge (Win7 62 and 34) I have the problem of all raw images showing up as icons in Bridge. The images will open in the converter fortunately but it would be nice to see what the image is before double clicking on it. I have followed all of Adobe's instructions but the problem persists. Deleting and reinstalling the raw plug-in does not fix the problem. I have had every glitch with Adobe Bridge ever reported since the very first version and a few unusual ones that Adobe support, in Microsoft fashion, denied could possibly exist. (Rant about perpetually incompetent Adobe programmers deleted).Apart from a complete program re-install (which is likely pointless as the latest Camera Raw upgrade will still be corrupted) is there a solution for this competely disastrous upgrade from Adobe?

Sadly: deactivate, uninstall, reinstall. If you have many plug-ins, particularly if they have Aobe-like activation restrictions, that must be considered.
When Photoshop does what it is supposed to do it is a wonderful tool.
But.
It is not clear why Adobe has not been able, or has not tried, to correct the many problems with Bridge since version 1. These are the two most bothersome problems I experience regularly. Adobe says the problems are unique to me but I doubt it since I have had the same issues on at least a dozen machines of all types:
Bridge tends to freeze if it has been opened for a long time and many images have been opened through Bridge; only rebooting the computer will solve this.
More often than not after a long sessiion in Bridge/CS-anyversion it is impossible to re-open Bridge, once closed, without rebooting the computer.
Both these issues exist in Windows XP/Vista/7 in both 32 and 64 bit versions of the OS and Photoshop and in every version of Bridge I have been afflicted with.
In CS5 I have not lost custom workspace arrangements, a frequent problem in prior versions, but I have lost the ability to preview raw images: which is worse?
These are not issues with the Windows OS but are specific to Adobe programming of a $600 program for Windows.
If I am going to work on a specific image I frequently open it directly from the desktop in order to avoid Bridge entirely because I never know what I am going to get.

Can't see RAW images in Preview of Nikon D80

When I connect camera, Import window shows icons of images on camera.
Jpgs are visible as photographs; Raw images are just icon placeholders.
How can I see which Raw images to import?

Jack
Some of the answers to your original question must have well and truly confused you by now. Now here's my contribution:
(a) you don't need to shoot RAW + JPG's in order for a preview to be displayed. Just by shooting RAW you are also in fact creating a very small JPG image which is embedded into the file and which needs additional software in order to extract it. It is this small embedded JPG file that Lightroom uses in it's preview. To all intents and purposes you can forget all about it.
(b) whether or not the fact that you are not seeing a preview image on attempting to import is down to not using a Card Reader or not I can't say - I only ever use a Card Reader. It might well be worth your while trying, not only is it more reliable but it is also faster. But just to reiterate - you DON'T need to shoot RAW + JPG to see a preview image. Where this idea came from I have no idea - I have never ever shot RAW and JPG together and have ALWAYS got a preview image.

I also have EOS Utility installed (on both Laptop and Desktop PC) and as far as I can ascertain the update to v1.1 has not had any effect, either to LR or EOS Utility. If there is a problem with placements as opposed to thumbnail images then the problem lies elsewhere in all probability.

RAW image and preview dramatically different

I'm using Aperture 2.1 and am recently finding myself extremely unsatisfied with the rendering of my RAW images created with my Nikon D50.
I am shooting in just RAW (NEF) and sRGB, and am exposing for what I am seeing on the back of my camera. At times I use manual, and others I use the Program setting with a -1.3 exposure compensation since the camera leans too bright; I seem to recall everything exposing correctly until recently. But my memory is shoddy when it comes to how things previously appeared.
The preview before importing shows much the same image that I intended (exposure-wise), as does the quick preview for a second or so during the import process. Shortly after, my pictures all become dull and dark, lacking color and appearing about 2 stops underexposed.
I love photography, but am personally baffled by the issue of color profiles, RAW images JPEG previews, and all that jazz. Nothing seems to explain these adequately, which is why I'm reaching out to those more knowledgeable than me. I am unsure if it's my camera, Aperture, color spaces, or just settings within Aperture or my camera.
Once again, I want to say this is a recent problem, but it may just be that I only noticed recently.

I have exposed to the image on the LCD before and produced wonderful results. Or, at the very least, results that didn't drive me to post on a discussion board.
As per your questions:
--I use 4 different methods to determine how I am exposing my image. In Manual, I use the TTL metering chart in the viewfinder (usually exposing -0.7 to -1.3 so as to compensate for the tendency for the camera's meter to overexpose), the resulting image on the LCD, the histogram, and the in-camera highlights indicator (since, once again, it has a tendency to try and overexpose an image). In Priority modes, I use the camera's exposure compensation setting to set the compensation to -0.7 or -0.1. The resulting JPEG that I see in the pre-import thumbnails and the brief seconds during import are exactly the exposure I want, but when Aperture finishes importing, it's entirely too underexposed. And it's not just that-- the color seems to be worse than it would if it were just simple underexposure... it all feels grey.
-- I use matrix metering most of the time, with spot metering in the rare instance that requires more precise measurement than just tweaking the aperture or shutter up or down a stop or so. Snow or water pictures are a prime example.
Just so we're clear, I know how to use a camera. I know how to expose properly, and in the past year with my camera, I feel I've figured out its quirks. It takes a lot to drive me to discussion boards, as I usually figure out problems myself. But, since the lingo and strange things of digital photography (Color Space, EXIF data, RAW conversion engines, etc.) confuses me sometimes, I am looking for more human help. I haven't had this problem (or this dramatic of a problem) in the past.
The RAW images outside of the last couple of months seem fine (maybe having something to do with the fact that I upgraded to 2.1 from the 1.0 software about 6 months ago and am finally getting back to photography during my summer break). And the JPEGs that I am apparently exposing for are fine as well. It's just after Aperture imports the RAW file that I am having these problems.
Like I said, I want to continue to use RAW. I want it to work like I thought it was working in the past (that is, without major exposure headaches). But I want the image that I thought I was getting. So how do I make Aperture see the same (or nearly the same) image that I am seeing in the JPEG thumbnail? The difference is just too dramatic to pass it off as quirks and be okay with that. And no, at least as the photography part goes, I do not think it's a short between the floor and the camera.

I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4

I can't see previews of RAW images from a Canon PowerShot G16 in Lightroom 4?

For that camera, you need at least Lightroom 5.2. The alternative would be to use the DNG converter, version 8.2 or later. Or, you can upgrade to Lightroom 5.

Quick preview looks better than processed raw image...??

Hey all, probably a bit of a "newb" question here... so forgive me, and thank you...
Using a D7000 and often times when I shoot - the preview image on the camera looks BRIGHT, VIVID and ROBUST ... after import however - when reviewing my shots, JUST as I arrow over to the next shot - many of the preview images tend to look better than the processed image that aperture displays once it's done spinning it's wheels.
Perhaps I've messed up a Raw Fine Tuning setting?
When I click on quick preview and browse through an import, the pictures truly look nicer to me than the when aperture processes them.
Without question, the display on my acer monitor is a far cry from the miniature compressed image on the back of my nikon, however the more i shoot, the more I realize a disconnect between what I think I should see, and what I'm ultimately seeing in Aperture.
Are their specific settings to fine tune the import of raw d7000 shots?
Thanks much.. gk

I take it you're shooting and processing RAW images?
It's worth remembering that if you have a picture style selected (i.e. vivid etc), your camera might be applying extra contrast and saturation etc to the image you see on the back of the camera. Camera manufacturers do this so that we can give our pictures some extra punch and colour automatically.
I'd also be wary of comparing what you see on your camera to what you see on your monitor. Unless both are calibrated, you shouldn't trust either of them 100%. The best example of monitor calibration is going to look at TV's in an electronics store. You'll probably notice that in a wall of TV's, some pictures will be darker, some lighter, some more vivid, some more saturated. Using a calibration tool adjusts the picture your screen and monitor displays so that it is 'accurate'.
It's a bit like having a room full of scales and adjusting them so that they all read 1 kilogram when a 1 kilogram weight is placed on each of them. Calibrating monitors will mean that when you display an image on it, it will always look the same rather than getting the some light/some dark problem you saw in the TV store.
It's a tricky subject to explain (don't worry if it doesn't make sense), but you might like to have look around YouTube for videos on the subject.

Importing RAW images, previews stay pixelated in LR

I don't remember having this problem before when I imported my images before but now when I import into Lightroom, the previews stay pixelated rather than sharpening up. I went to Bridge and took a look at them and they all sharpen up after a few se4conds when being imported. What's causing this and how do I fix it? I am using a G4 867 Tower with 1 GB of RAM, OS 10.4.11. I am new with LR, but I've been successful before and didn't have this problem. I am using a Canon 20D.

Hi, there. Finally had time to get back to the computer. I changed my Import Photos>Preview setting>standard, as well as 1:1. Still looks pixelated. I am importing about 100 images. If I choose only one image, it does the same thing. What's the next step?
I do not have Auto Import enabled, since my folders>subfolders hierarchy is complicated, but they are RAW images, not processed, just moved into folders from my CF card. So, there is no .xmp info on it, although I am importing it with my Preset Copyright info.
Yes, I know my G4 is now a dinosaur, but I haven't had this problem before. If I import it anyway, will it still be alright in LR, or will it show up that way in the database?

When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted. I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists. Any idea what is going on?

It felt as if maybe a virus was at work but I ran Sophos and found nothing.
I store images on my Drobo Raid system but when I work from my Macbook Pro I have no issues, just on the tower.
Any idea what is going on?

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

I don't see the answer.

Lightroom 5.3 won't preview or import Nikon D7100 Raw Images

I'm using LIghtroom 5.3, and raw camera 8.3, the latest update available. I found from Adobe's site that this version supports D7100 raw image imports. But when trying to import D7100 raw images, I get a message that "the file is not recognized by the raw format support in LIghtroom."
I'm hoping someone can help with this, as obivously getting help from Adobe is not possible beyond FAQs.
thanks,
-Bob

Bob,
I am using LR 5.3 with D7100 RAW files with no problems, so there should be a solution to your situation. It might help find a solution if you tell us what computer you have, what OS, the specs, and more importantly, how you are trying to import the files. Are you connecting the camera directly to the computer? Are you using a card reader -- internal or external? Are you copying the files to your hard drive and then importing into LR from there? At one point in the past, there was a problem with Nikon Transfer somehow changing NEF files so that they wouldn't be read by LR.
As a test, try copying a few NEF files from you memory card to your hard drive using the OS file manager -- Finder or Windows Explorer -- and then try importing into LR. Does that work?

How can I edit a RAW image in Adobe Bridge and/or Photoshop?

Whenever I drag and drop a photo or group of images from iPhoto. it automatically converts them to jpegs. Even when taken as RAW images. With iPhoto 09, you could do a search of the IMG_#### listed in iPhoto, and a normally-hidden folder full of the original downloaded RAW images turned up in the search. Now, in iPhoto 11, the RAW images newly downloaded DO NOT show up in any system searches (using 10.8.4. It was bad enough when they were hidden... now they are virtually gone.
I want to use iPhoto for organization and some editing, but some photos I want to work with in the RAW format and save as TIFFs. How do I do that?

Whenever I drag and drop a photo or group of images from iPhoto. it automatically converts them to jpegs.
Drag and Drop and Media Browsers access the iPhoto Previews only. No conversion, just the previews.
With 10.8 Spotlight no longer searches within packages, that's to protect the inexperienced user from trashing his or her library inadvertently - as directly accessing the file can do.
To use Raws with an external editor:
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
But there's a kludge here.
iPhoto sends a copy of the file to Photoshop. In the case of a Jpeg you simply save and it all comes back to iPhoto seamlessly. However, if you use a Save As then Photoshop is creating a new file and iPhoto knows nothing about this.
Now here's the catch with Raws. You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

Oversaturated RAW images in Lightroom 4

All of a sudden, all of my RAW images are oversaturated and over contrasted in Lightroom 4. When they are initially "loading" the photo looks great, but then when it loads the pictures it is WAY oversaturated and overcontrasted. I have not changed any settings in Lightroom, so I am not sure what has happened. I have attached screen shots to show it when it's loading and when it is loaded. This is a HUGE difference. All of my settings on the menu on the right are at 0 or whatever the original setting is in the Develop mode. I've checked everything in the column on the right in the develop mode, settings, etc. I have checked to make sure that my Lightroom is not pending any updates and that my camera is up to date. I've looked in several forums. From what I can see, there have been others with this issue, but I can never seem to find a resolution to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Camera: Nikon D7100 (if this matters)

If something changed recently, it is likely one of: you’ve recently shifted from shooting JPG to shooting RAW, a LR Preset being applied in Import, your LR defaults are different than before, your monitor profile is different, your video drivers have been updated, your video-card’s control-panel settings are different, or your monitor’s own settings are different.
When you newly import an image are all the toning sliders still set to zero? (i.e. Exposure, Contrast, …, Clarity, Vibrance, Saturaton) A screenshot of the Basic panel at the top right of the Develop module would show this.
What Profile do you have selected in the Camera Calibration area? A screenshot of the bottom right of the Develop module would show this.
To confirm whether your LR defaults have changed to something non-zero, you can make a virtual copy of a representative image and then click the Reset button and see if all the toning sliders return to zero in the Basic panel, and also check the Profile setting in the Camera Calibration area.
If you want to upload that specific pumpkin image to http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to it, here, then others can load it on their systems and see what it looks like, to compare with your screenshots.
So far the difference between the two screenshots appears to be camera-embedded JPG and default LR settings which will never be the same. The 2nd (right) screenshot in your initial post also looks out-of-focus compared to the initial camera preview which seems odd. Maybe things hadn’t fully-rendered, yet.

Adobe Colour Issues with RAW images

Hi,
I have had Photoshop for a long while now and i have a problem. When looking at RAW images they have a green hue on the shadows (this is when previewing them in Bridge, Photoshop and Camera RAW). This problem seems to be solved by minimizing the window and then making it fullscreen again a few seconds later. How ever after this, if i switch to another image and back the green cast is there in the shadows.
If I print screen it you can see the problems in any other image editor along side a screen show of the "solved" image.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I've added in a screen shot for comparrison.
Thanks
Mark
#CS5 Extended 12.0.4
P.s. There are much worse images i can upload if people want more clarification or even just to see more of the problem.

You're saying both of these images were captured from the screen of Photoshop before and after doing your workaround?
You likely have a display driver problem if so. You may want to check the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they offer an update for your hardware and OS. Caveat: If you have an ATI card, consider installing older version 11.7 instead of Catalyst 11.8 - I've seen problems with the latter.
Out of curiosity, is your monitor calibrated and profiled? If not, what color profile do you have associated with it at the OS level?
For that matter, what OS are you running?
