PSE8 Crash open as Raw a .jpg image in Editor to get Raw Editor

Although it works in release 6/7, I crash when I try to open a .jpg image in the raw editor in PSE8. I use menu file,open as, select an image, and select Camera Raw on open as drop down menu and then click on Open. At that point the editor crashes and goes away and has to be restarted. Anyone have any workaround suggestions or is this broken until relase 9?

Enjoy your day!

Same behaviour here (WinXP Pro SP3, PSE upgrade path was 3-4-5-6-7-8).
I also see 2 times Camera Raw in about plug-ins as well as in the Open as list. Chosing the first one in results in error message "The operation could not be completed, Class alread exists", using the second one in Open as results in error message (my translation from German to English) "This process could not be executed, because there was a program error" (As a software developer, I love this message ).
I'd be interested in solutions as well.

How can I get a tab to open in an oversize jpg image in its original size with scroll bars when I click on a link?

I have a small program for storing my genealogy names and jpg images of the census pages where each name is found. The images have a thumbnail link that opens in a new tab to view the actual oversized census page. In the new tab the census page is small and not readable. How do I get the jpg image to appear in its original size with schroll bars so I can read the census in the firefox browser without using the zoom feature. It takes several clicks on the zoom to get the image to a readable size and that is time consuming, especially when I have several images opened.

That works, thank you!
Could I suggest that this feature (the ability to turn off or turn on the auto-resize of images) be part of the Options tab on Firefox? I think it's a setting that some users might want to change fairly often--even toggle back and forth on. It's a little annoying to have to go into about:config every time to do this.

Elements 12 organiser has changed all raw files to jpeg - how do I get raw files back?

Cannot edit raw files as Elements (12) seems to have changed them all to jpegs - can anyone let me know how to get raw files back?

Hello Jim,
Many thanks for your response. Wondering if we did something in Elements preferences? Usually, when thumbnails are opened in the editor, it’s a raw file to work on. However, all the thumbnails, when opened in the editor, are all of a sudden opening as jpegs …. not raw. o it looks as though all the raw files are now jpegs, and we don’t know how to get them back.
Any help you can offer will be gratefully received, as my husband works on his photos in Elements and it’s driven him mad!
Many thanks & regards.

Calendar app crashes when trying to view jpg image off calendar event.

i run my electrical buisness off the calandar app and it synces with 5 other people including myself. we scan an image(work order) attach it to the event in the calander then everyone can download it and view it anyware instantly. my problem is that 1 out of 5 times it will crash as soon as you tap the attachment in the calander event. it crashes back to home screen. any suggestions?
i really dont want to go back to windows operating system. i convinced everyone to go apple and now they are on my *** about this issue. THANKS

An obsertation: I have what appears to be an all-day event on April 1, that is a note that it is April Fools Day. However, this note is part of a holidays calendar that I subscribe to on my iPad. The holiday entries are an actual subscription, not individual entries on the calendar.
I have not had any Calendar crashes with this April 1 entry at all. As Skydiver said, it might be a DST problem, but it seemed strange that some folks are having crash problems with all day entries on 4/1 and some are not. Maybe this subscription entry doesn't count as an all day entry?? Dunno.

Images as RAW and jpgs - how to separate?

I shoot both RAW and jpg, that way I have the RAW for detailed editing, and the jpg for quick edits to post on web, as required, or to send a quick copy to friends. I will probably stop this (shooting both) when I get used to editing RAW, but that is part of my evolution and growth in developing my skills in my digital darkroom.
When I first started with LR, I was using the Beta 2 version and simply imported my PS Elements 8 Catalog and that worked okay, because both versions of the image were imported so that I could see both of them and then pick the image I wanted for further editing. I have now upgraded to the new, full version of LR3 and have just downloaded my first set of images from a weekend of shooting - went looking for bluebirds and only found one nesting box with an active pair in it. I will go back for more in a day or so - more images that is. It is strange how the population of nesting bluebirds in my part of the Western Prairies has declined significantly in the past five years, but that is a whole, different story, Anyway to proceed...I downloaded the images from this afternoon's shoot and found that the RAW image (Canon - CR2) and the jpeg show as one image with a title that says IMG_xxxxx.CR2+jpg. I would like to be able to break the two different images out, or at least get at each one separately for editing purposes. For the life of me, I cannot figure this one out. I am still waiting for Kelby's LR3 book that I pre-ordered...maybe this week. Not sure if that will tell me how to do this, assuming I can. If I can't do this, then I will have to import into Elements 8 and then re-import that file into LR3 - a process I would rather not have to do.
Any insight that anyone can provide on how to do this (I assume it can be done) will be greatly appreciated. Maybe it is something as simple as a "switch" on an import preset, or setting up a "custom" import preset (if there is such a thing). Thanks in advance.
Regards,
WesternGuy

Susan, thanks for the insight. I think I will follow your lead and delete the images from my catalog and re-import them. Hopefully I can find the options that you have noted. It would be nice, though, if there was a way to break them apart after loading, but at least I don't have too many to redo.
Regards,
WesternGuy

Question about RAW to JPG file sizes

Hello all, I have a question/concern in reference to file size changes when converting from RAW to JPG formats in PSE6. I've recently purchased a CANON 50D, and have started shooting in RAW format (actually RAW2+JPG). I have the CAMERA RAW 5.2 plugin and my workflow process is something akin to this:
1. Separate all RAW and JPG images into their respective folders.
2. Open the RAW folder in BRIDGE, and then open up a CR2 file. CR2 file is approx 15MB at this point, as reported in Finder.
3. Perform various corrections in ACR52 to the file, then do as SAVE AS to a DNG file.
4. Next step is to OPEN IMAGE, bringing it up in PSE6.
5. Make any necessary corrections to the picture, and then do a SAVE AS to a new file name and folder, selecting JPG format.
6. Selection MAX QUALITY from subsequent dialogue box, and SAVE.
When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
I've been doing some reading on this over the weekend, but cant explain away the severe loss in file size, and whether this is right, or if I'm doing something wrong in the process.
Appreciate any advice or suggestions to help improve my work processes, and ultimately the final photos!

Regarding your file size questions, have a look at this thread and see if it answers some of your questions:
http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/741532/0
> When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
Dimensions and resolution are related and multiple combinations can be produced from the same number of pixels. For example, your 50D at maximum image size produces 4,752 by 3,168 pixels. This full-size image could be printed at:
- 19.8 x 13.2 inches at 240 PPI
- 47.52 x 31.68 inches at 100 PPI
- 7.92 x 5.28 inches at 600 PPI
As you can maybe see, talking about dimensions and resolution doesn't make much sense until you are ready to consider printing. Note also that I used "PPI" or Pixels Per Inch since this is the slightly more correct terminology. DPI or "Dots Per Inch" is usually a reference to how a printer lays down the ink drops onto the paper. Many printers actually put more "dots" on the paper than there are pixels. Many people and companies use DPI when they mean PPI.
Now in your case you are apparently starting with an SRAW2 raw file. SRAW2 files from the 50D have a reduced number of pixels and are 2,276 pixels wide by 1,584 pixels high. At 240 PPI this would allow you to print the image at 9.9 by 6.6 inches. If you are ending up with something smaller than that, it means you have either re-sampled the image (changed the image so the same image is displayed with fewer pixels) or you have cropped the image.
Hope that helps.

Aperature will not dispaly raw and jpg imports

Using a Cannon Digital Rebel XT I shoot raw and jpg images simultaneously. Up until Aperature 1.5.3 I could import both raw amd jpg images. For some reason I now can only import raw images. For example, when I import the same compact disc to I Photo I import 88 images, half raw and half jpg. Now when import the same files to Aperature I get 44 raw images. I have tried trashing the preferences file with no success.
iMac intel Mac OS X (10.4.9)

ok, i bet they are there ...
first thing to check is open up the aperture library package (right-click show contents) and navigate down into a project (same thing right-click) ... you should see that the RAW and JPEGs are in there ... if not new problem ...

Preview does not open a particular group of images modified in Photoshop CS

The problem described below occurs in a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Preview 2.1.1.
This computer now refuses to open a group of .jpg images in Preview that have been modified in Adobe Photoshop CS, but opens up images that have not been modified after import from camera. The images that she refuses to open in Preview were worked on another computer, a MacBook running Tiger. I tried deleting the preference file for the malfunctioning Preview, but that did not help.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might remedy this?

.jpg files are set to open in preview on that computer, but I did try "open with", I also tried opening the files from within Preview and to drag the files to the preview icon in the dock and none of these methods yielded anything. I have also tried opening these images in Safari and Photoshop on the computer in question, and that works fine, so it seems that it is Preview that is out of order and not the files themselves.
Edit: Upon reading my original post I see that I did not describe the problem accurately enough, as the default application for opening these images is Preview and not Photoshop, as one could presume from my original description.
I did actually also try changing the default for all .jpg files to Photoshop and then back to Preview, but that didn't do anything either.

Difficulty navigating to and identifying my RAW and JPEG Images

Hi,
I have several related issues that I would appreciate help with.
I am finding difficulty navigating to and identifying my RAW and JPEG images in Aperture. I do actually principally work with JPEG and only use RAW when I perceive there to be a benefit by improving a poorly captured image.
To give you some background. I am using an iMac OSX 10.8.3 and Aperture 3.4.3 Camera Raw 4.04. When I Import images I import both RAW and JPEG using RAW as the original.
At the Import stage both RAW and JPEG thumbnails are displayed. However once imported only one thumbnail is displayed in the Library on some occasions this will be the JPEG and on other occasions the RAW (as identified from the Info tab. How can I select which version to work with?
I would appreciate assistance with this.
Regards,
John

It is possible to see the Raw master along side the Jpg master if you wish.
When a version is created (make new version from original) it is created off the original that is currently selected. So if the jpg image is the current original all versions created will be made off the jpg image. Likewise if the raw is the current original all versions created will be made off the raw image.
Also keep in mind that a version that has no adjustments applied to it is identical to the original it was made from.
So to get both along side each other do:
Set raw as original, create new version from original. Label this version Raw original version. Now switch to jpg as original. Make a version from this and label it Jpg original version.
Just ensure you never apply adjustments to these two images and you will always have both the jpg and raw images available to compare.
In addition if say the jpg is the original and you want to make a version from the raw, instead of switching the jpg and raw you can just go to the Raw original version and duplicate it.

RAW vs JPG quality question

Just got Lightroom and am now for the first time taking images in RAW format. I am using a Canon SLR as well as a Panasonic P&S both shooting in JPG and RAW. The Canon RAW images have an extension of .CR2 and the Panasonic has an extension of .RW2..
Okay with that out of the way, I'm going through my images and notice that the RAW images don't look nearly as nice as the JPG images. As I understand it, RAW has all of the information from the picture taken and gives more flexibility with adjustments. But how is it that the two images side by side look so different? I like the look of the JPG images most of the time.. They have better color quality and the lighting seems to be more accurate to what was shot. Some even seem to have a higher level of sharpness where the RAW images almost look like they could be slightly out of focus. I've tried to get the RAW and JPG images to look the same to see if there is a specific difference (see if contrast is always x lower or x higher etc... ) but can't seem to get a RAW image to look like what was actually shot.
Any input on working with RAW images or experience that would help me out here?
Much appreciated!
Nathan

The main “quality” thing you’ll probably see different your camera’s raw conversion (to JPGs) and Adobe’s is that there is no default luminance noise-reduction so there will be grain you can see and that the sharpening is more subtle.
You can adjust both the noise-reduction and sharpening to taste, just don’t overdo it. When I look at a camera JPG I typically see too much noise reduction which has removed too much fine detail, and sharpening halos along edges, both of which I dislike, now that I’ve worked with raws for so long.
Here is the first part of a three-part tutorial about the three types of sharpening, capture, creative, output, that you can do to raw files in Lightroom. The links to the other two parts are at the bottom of part one:
http://laurashoe.com/2011/08/21/sharpening-in-lightroom-part-one-overview-and-capture-shar pening/
You should also be doing your capture and creative sharpening with the zoom set to 100% or 1:1. The resampling algorithim used to show smaller-than-100%-zoom views in Lightroom Develop will give inaccurate sharpening preview results, so what you think you’re doing will be different than what is actually visible in the output you produce with LR, unless you use 1:1.

Combination of RAW and JPG displayed in Lightroom?

When I set my Canon 30D camera to take both Raw and JPG images, Lightroom displays only Raw images but not JPG images. What do I do to have Lightroom display JPG as well as Raw images?

It's in the import preferences. You'll have to sync or re-import once you change the pref for that ("treat JPEG files next to raw files as individual images" or some such language).

View both RAW and JPG?

On occasion I like to use the art modes on my GF1. Is there any way to see BOTH the RAW and JPG images after I import them? (I'm shooting RAW + JPG on the GF1).
In the "RAW + JPEG Pairs" pulldown I select "Both (RAW as Master).
I've been creating a new version from the master, then setting JPG as the master.
I'm sure there's a better way to do this. TIA.

On the import panel for Import Raw + Jpeg Pairs option select Separate Masters.

In bridge i select a jpg image with cntrl r to open in camera raw but get "camera raw not avail"

In bridge i select a jpg image with cntrl r to open in camera raw but get "camera raw not available" camera raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. I can open nef. in camera raw with no problem.

Hm, what I suggested might actually be a possibility then...
Close whatever version you have open first...
I think Adobe installs shortcuts for both 32 and 64 bit Photoshop in the start menu.
If you can't find the 32 bit Start menu entry, look for the 32 executable here (changing the CS version number to whatever yours is):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop.exe

Opening jpgs as raw... image size

My office color corrects thousands of images per day for newsprint. These come in mostly as jpgs and some tifs and eps files. Most of these need a lot of color correction work, and I've found that opening jpgs with the RAW dialogue box and tweaking them there can be a huge time-saver (one menu with a bunch of sliders, versus opening curves, shadow highlight, hue/sat, color balance, etc.)
However! There are two things preventing us from utilizing the ability to open jpgs and using the raw dialogue box:
1. Image size. We are dealing with images from several customers who need us to maintain their original image size and dpi, whatever that may be. Other customers want us to maintain the width/height and rasample the image down to 200dpi. (example: take this 3x5" @ 956dpi and make it 3x5" @ 200dpi) If I open one of their images in raw, I don't know what the original width/height were because the file has been resized to whatever I used on the last image. I've noticed it defaults to 240. The original jpg dpi changes with each image we get. Is there any way to make the raw dialogue box not change the image size? Which leads me to...
2. Once I've opened a jpg using the raw dialogue box it will always open up again in raw (always changing the image size.) If I want to just open my jpg as a regular image in photoshop, I have to go to camera raw preferences and disable the ability to use raw on jpgs. Is there a faster way to ignore the raw settings on a jpg once it has been altered as raw?
So this is why we don't use raw, even though it'd be a huge advantage for us to be able to make these color corrections. If anyone has any ideas how to get around these, or even an easier workflow, I'd appreciate it!

For #1, if you look at the image in Bridge you can note the dimensions and resolution...you would then need to put that same resolution in the ACR resolution field.
For #2, no...as you note the ACR Preference controls whether or not Camera Raw will be used to open the image. You can use the Shift key when double clicking in Bridge to open the image directly into Photoshop and bypass the ACR dlog, but Camera Raw will still be used if it's set to be used in the Preferences...
You'll need to keep your image resizing just in Photoshop because Camera Raw is not designed to do that sort of resize/resampling...it's designed first and foremost as a raw processor and later added the ability to open and process camera JPEGs and TIFFs. Putting those kind of controls into Camera Raw wouldn't make sense since the end result of an image opened into Camera Raw is supposed to be an image processed and opened into Photoshop. So, what you are wishing for is really outside of the scope of the development design...sorry.

I cannot open JPG images in Camera RAW from Bridge or via "Open as" facility in Photoshop

I am going crazy with Photoshop CC!!! I have been using Photoshop CC and Bridge CC since Feb 2014 and have a recurring problem, which comes back periodically after having been fixed with the aid of the Adobe Help Chat facility. Today the Chat facility is not on-line, so in desperation I'm hoping someone in the Community can help me.
When I try to open a JPG file in Bridge I get the message "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that aqualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature".
When I try to open a JPG file in Photoshop using the "Open As" facility, I get the message "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
I am running CC on a Dell laptop under Windows 7 64-bit.
Can anyone help me please?

I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves. RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab. Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab. Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure. It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.
