PS Camera Raw is forcing a crop on CR2 files. Can I stop this?

Photoshop raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS  - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
Thanks

Thanks, the fact is that it doesnt ignore the crop - it forces it and removes the data outside the crop. This is a known issue that Adobe do not seem to have addressed, and there seems to be a work-around in lightroom using a plug-in, but apparently not for ACR.
I have now found out how to work in ACR in tiffs, whcih is OK, although at 120MB per pic it is very space hungry, but I was hoping to get the cropping and any rotation done before converting to tiffs in the belief that the fewer times you process the actual pixels in an image the better. Is this true, is it better to roatate in RAW before converting, or rotate in tiff after converting?
I wish I could say I was the sort of photogrpher that never needed suvch things but my work is almost jounalistic in the fractioons of a second I sometimes have to get a camera out and get a pic. I spend a lot of time trying to dregdge something useable out of my images!

  • Camera Raw 8 the same cropping choices as are in Lightroom and Photoshop?

    Seriously, how hard would it be to give Camera Raw 8 the same cropping choices as are in Lightroom and Photoshop (i.e., Fibonacci, Triangle, Diagonal, etc.)? This disparity in features is inexcusable and embarrassing. Surely the teams communicate?

    I don't have CC nor LR.  Just be sure you are comparing apples to apples
    That is a nice statement for a Windows guy…
    I never use crop in ACR because I like this feature more in PS itself. Also the inability to save crop presets in ACR makes it very limited. The ACR engine for PS and LR are the same, the body differs.
    Thanks to hard yelling people we now have about the same crop tool in PS as in LR. Although I still don't like it in PS, after having used it years and years I now have to move the image instead of the crop.
    Sadly the ability to rotate crop and having adjust it automatically to the borders is a very nice option. If it wasn't for this I would stay with the old classic mode.
    But the OP is right, many features in different Adobe Products have somewhat the same result but sometimes very different approaches, options and tools.
    Until the Adobe HQ is going to settle in Utopia we might be better off trying to learn living with it

  • Camera Raw Policy of Writing Back into Input Files

    This came up in another thread, and I think it deserves its own discussion.  I'd hope that we can influence the Camera Raw team's future direction.  I welcome your input and opinions.
    Given:  Under some conditions Camera Raw writes data back into (overwrites) its input files.
    Assuming you use Camera Raw to open your out-of-camera original files as many of us do, Adobe seems to be all over the road on whether to keep its hands off them or overwrite them...
    Camera Raw will not touch a proprietary raw file, such as a Canon .CR2 or Nikon .NEF.  There's a whole process for remembering settings in a separate database or sidecar XMP files.  So far so good.
    If you open a JPEG, TIFF, or DNG through Camera Raw, data WILL automatically be written back into it to tell another run of Camera Raw in the future what settings you used - without the software ever having warned you it will do so.
    Some functions EXPLICITLY rewrite input files.  You can ask the software to write new thumbnails back into DNG files, for example.   This is fine - the user has instructed the software to overwrite the file, and the user is in charge, after all.
    Overwriting/rewriting an input file without being instructed to do so is NON-INTUITIVE BEHAVIOR for an application. No one would expect an input file to be overwritten.
    We do see that it causes people confusion.  I'm sure there are people right now reading this in disbelief.  I recommend you go test it for yourself (on a copy of one of your original files).
    The original file being overwritten is one of the reasons why I don't configure Photoshop to open my out-of-camera JPEGs through Camera Raw.
    Adobe's [mis]handling of input files on the surface seems to be derived from the history of DNG - where no camera actually writes the DNG file directly but it has been generated as an intermediate format through the DNG Converter, and as such can be handled with less "care" than an original camera file.
    It seems to me that Camera Raw should NEVER write back into an INPUT file it is opening without a) letting the user know or b) being directed to do so.
    Adobe:
    Please give those of us who don't want our input files overwritten an option for using the database/XMP sidecar instead in EVERY case.
    Thanks.

    It depends.
    As far as I can tell:
    When a JPG or TIF file is Locked,
    Camera Raw > Done results in a Write Permission Error.
    When a DNG file is Locked,
    Camera Raw > Done - writes a separate xmp sidecar file.
    The JPG / TIF handling seems to me inconsistent. With a locked file I'd prefer to have a sidecar xmp created as well. Some of my JPG / TIF files are originals for me.

    How do you install Camera Raw 8.3 to CS5 photoshop so I can open files? Thanks

    CS5 does not support ACR 8.5, it only goes as far as 6.7.
    You will need to convert your raw files to DNG format with the free converter. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html

  • Camera raw is not working on my NEF files D600

    camera raw is not working on my NEF files D600.. I ALREADY TRIED all of the updates ( first 7.3, 7.4 even the 8.1) i have the photoshop cs6 and im not finding a way to make it read my files!!! even the DMG converter its not reading them!!

    It might be the way you are downloading them. I believe that Nikon Transfer has been updated to overcome a corruption bug which affects Adobe products.
    If you are using Nikon Transfer, it might be worth updating to the latest version, and downloading your photos again. Or use Adobe Photodownloader instead (I would).
    Also, accepted wisdom is to download photos off the memory card using a card reader, rather than via the camera USB, as it is less prone to problems. YMMV.

  • "open in camera RAW" is not an option in the file menu

    Using Photoshop/Bridge CS3, Windows XP Pro SP2, and ACR 4.5, the "open in camera RAW" is not an option in the file menu. Why is this option missing and how can I get it back?

    Hi,
    The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
    You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.

  • I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download  said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

    I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download  said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

  • When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
    I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

    when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

  • When I click on some links, Firefox tries to open a ton of new tabs... I have to force quit. How can I stop this?

    Sometimes when I click on a website link, Firefox goes crazy with trying to open new tabs... it keeps going until I force quit. How can I stop this?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I clicked on a link

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.
