Question Re: Bridge Raw Converter

How do I open a JPEG or TIFF image (that is stored in iPhoto '09) in the Bridge-version of Raw Converter?
Here is what I have done. I moved an image from iPhoto to the desktop (I am using a MacBook Pro). Using Bridge, I selected the image. When I Ctrl-Click on the image, the drop-down menu does not have the "Open in Camera Raw" option.
However, if I download JPEG images directly from my camera, the "Open in Camera Raw" option is there.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you kindly.

Barbara,
Thank you for the response. First, I appreciate your comment about using the Export command to move an image out of iPhoto. In all honesty, I guess that I have become so used to dragging & dropping with the Mac OS that I never considered the downside of doing so in this case.
Most importantly, using the Export command solved my problem. Once the image is in my designated sub-folder in Pictures, Ctrl-Click open the drop-down menu which includes "Open in Camera Raw". Perfect.
Thanks again.

Question Raw Converter Tool Box Again

I have a question on the
Raw Converter tool box. When I open some Raw photos, correct them with the Raw Converter Tool Box that automatically comes up with PSE 8, and then click "Open Images" I am taken to the PSE view screen as if I had opened a JPEG. The Raw Converter Tool Box then vanishes. How can I get the tool box back without closing and then reopening the Raw File? Thanks Robert.

Thanks Barbara B. Your timely answer was most helpful.

Cs5 bridge has option..open in raw converter...greyed out

i just purchased and installed cs5, love the updates i have seen yet.....but cs5 bridge has stopped opening raw files, it actually never did open the first one..the option to open in camera raw is greyed out...i can use photoshop to open raws, one at a time...tried updating to raw converter 5.7,. cs5 still works, bridge does not...any thoughts?
Malcolm

ACR 5.7 is for CS4.
For CS5 you need Camera Raw 6.1.
You have to have the ACR in the correct folder and only one file there.

Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with PSE 12 when purchased recognize the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

RAW converter in Bridge

The Elements Techniques March/April issue discusses the RAW cosnverter in Bridge that is a complete RAW converter that can be installed by updating the Adobe Bridge app but it does not seem to install. I have Elements 6 for Mac with Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9. Is this only available in Elements 8? hjz62

Yes, only for PSE 8.

Adobe Bridge CS4 - "convert to DNG" not working?

Hi
I am downloading a bunch of raw .CR2 files taken with a Canon 5D mark iii, and trying to convert them to DNG using Bridge, so that I can open them up in Camera Raw (which won't read the original CR2 files as you need CS5.5 or later). I have selected the "convert to DNG" option but the conversion doesn't seem to work, it's just copying the CR2 files over, Any idea why?
thanks

I have selected the "convert to DNG" option but the conversion doesn't seem to work, it's just copying the CR2 files over, Any idea why?
It seems you are using Photodownloader that comes with the CS version you are using currently. This Photodownloader is linked to the Raw converter of the version it is part of. So if it does not show the CR2 files as images it also won't convert to DNG
For this you need to download the latest and Free Adobe DNG converter.
Check this page, there is also an option to download the converter for either Mac or Windows

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.

Arri raw converter ( alexa )

I may be able to get some sxs card alexa footage (just junk we shoot real fast when they call lunch break ) from work onto my graid external via friends at work.
they are shooting log c for this job but I guess we can make it arri raw instead.
question... does the arri raw viewer "see" the log c if thats what I get ? Or does it have to be raw ?
also...I have pc and I'm sure the stuff on camera truck for transfer is going to be mac... and my graid is now formatted ntfs pc...
I dont think mac can write to that...so if they format to mac and I buy macdrive that will work OK, right ?? I mean, they will be able to see the drive and format it to mac right ??
thing is, as favor to me at work I dont wanna make anything weird or difficult for them...time consuming etc.
and finally...apparently I can use arri raw converter to convert to quicktime stuff or dpx or ( if its raw ) to log c....any suggestions re: best quality downsizing would be appreciated ( as I have mousey computer and cs3 ).
thanks
( am ready for the laughter and jibes now )

what are you getting masters in ?
hmm, thanks for info re: track. Never used that. And only used panther a few times so that is sorta understandable I guess...
We use mostly film air alum track now. Used to use the steel mathews track mostly...till the filmair stuff got invented.
Sometimes use track wheels on fisher dollies...sometimes ( probaby most times ) use skateboard wheels. And dance floor or shelving ( 1x12 x 16 or cut to size clear pine ). Using 3/4 birch ply and plastic sheets mostly for dance floor. Is nice and smooth.
Gotta make sure plastic is same "run" though...out of the die at factory...or they are slightly off in thickness.
Rip dance floor stuff down to exactly 4x8, 4x4, triangles, 2x8 and 1x8...usually is good for all spaces.
yeah, doorways tricky especially on slight angle through instead of perpendicular to threshold...thats cool the panter track comes in narrow width. We usually "rack" the track a little if necessary and leave 2 adjacent wheels unlocked on peewee or chapman hybrid ( 2 legs float ).
So many cool things to yap about re: dolly... you would think, " what could be so tricky about this ??" ... but it does get a bit tricky sometimes.
I find about 1/3 or 1/4 of operators really good to work with -- usually the ones that didnt "grow up" doing steadicam and hand held are the better ones ( with wheeled heads ). If an operator can't use the wheels I usually think, " oh oh...this could be trouble..." But I heard you use mostly fluid heads over there in your neck of woods...in which case the wheel thing doesnt hold true for your operators... as they'd have to be real good with fluid head in general.
Nothing makes a boom looks dumber than changing air space above talent heads etc from less than lovely operating
same with back panning etc.. when I get an operator who knows what teamwork means..I am happy as a clam ! If he says, " leave the wheels unlocked so I can adjust with my feet " I am looking at a long day probably ( time will drag ).
I agree that doing editing ( even the little that I've done now in past year at home has helped me ) really solidifies some things re: shooting and pace and timing etc..as you mentioned....also it makes it more fun, believe it or not...as its easier to see the edit from the coverage and vica versa..( see what coverage you need when shots are blocked )... way more fun than just sitting there waiting for someone to say " put the lens here ".
I went to pratt for fine art photography and thought I knew a lot about lighting and camera when I started gripping...but there are guys here ( 4-5th generation ) who are soooo good its amazing. Know the framelines, cc, stops, depth of field, how to shape the light well ( diffusion, cuts, teasers etc ).. just really amazing ..some of the grips ...
You guys in general have very good reputations as talented crews here in USA..

Integrating Canon Raw Converter with Aperture (for G9)

This is a follow up question to an email I posted last night on Apertures incompatibility with Canon G9 Raw Format.
DOes anyone or has anyone tried to integrate the Canon Raw Converter that came with the G9 in with Aperture? I thought of it this morning. My thought is to identify the Canon Raw converter as the external editor. Changes can be made in Canon RAW then saved. There would be the additional picture created in Aperture that I can modify. Granted the saved format would need to be a jpeg or tiff file format.
Any thoughts? Has anyone tried this?
Also, what is a high quality format the file can be saved once changes are made in Canon RAW?
Thanks

Using 'Open in External Editor' in Aperture tells Aperture to convert the RAW file to either a TIFF or PSD and send that to the external editor, not the RAW file. So if a camera is unsupported by Aperture you can't use the command...

NEF aus RAW-Converter öffnen in CS2

Für eine Erstbearbeitung meiner NEF's öffne ich diese zuerst aus Bridge im RAW-Converter. Wenn ich dann aber "Öffnen" (Änderungen übernehmen und öffnen) klicke, wird mir das Bild ohne die im Converter vorgenommenen Änderungen in PS CS2 geöffnet. Was muss ich tun, um in CS2 das "vorbearbeitete" Bild so zu starten, dass ich nicht wieder von vorn beginnen muss?

Great news!

RAW-Converter für Olympus OM-D?

Photoshop elements 8 - unter Mac mit der Bridge von CS4 - erkennt nicht mehr die RAW-Daten meiner neuen Olympus OM-D. Den RAW-Converter von Olympus selbst finde ich etwas sperrig, und den Umweg über den Adobe dng-Converter ebenfalls. Deshalb habe ich mir als Testversion jetzt Photoshop Elements 11 heruntergeladen - und stelle fest, dass nicht nur die Bridge fehlt, sondern auch dass die Funktionen des RAW Converters stark eingeschränkt sind! Es gibt überhaupt nur noch drei Reiter mit den Standardfunktionen; ich kann z.B. nicht mehr in die einzelnen Farbkanäle eingreifen, und die Möglichkeit, Verläufe zu ziehen oder einzelne Bereiche aufzuhellen bzw. abzudunkeln fehlt auch. Fehlen all diese Features grundsätzlich bei Photoshop elements 11, oder liegt es an der Kamera, dass nur ein Teil der Software funktioniert? Gibt es Alternativen, also kann ich das Beste aus beiden Versionen - 8 und 11 - zusammenführen

Only Apple will know when updates will be released. If you want an educated guess, look at the support page for updates and downloads.

My questions regards Camera Raw

I am posting this to both the PhotoShop and Lightroom forums. I use PhotoShop CS4 and Lightroom 1.1 on a Windows XP OS.
My question regards Camera Raw.
Question 1: If I open a RAW file in PhotoShop will the properties remain if I later open it in Lightroom, and vise-versa. Previously I had used Canon’s DPP and once I opened files in PhotoShop it was at square one. I concluded this was due to different manufacturers. I can adjust to that. Now that I am staying with just Adobe products I want to make sure I don’t have to do everything twice.
Question 2: Using Bridge I have opened some jpg’s in Camera Raw and manipulated them. It seemed to work better if I clicked “Done” rather than Save Image (if I need to save it in another directory).
Question 3: If I am working in PhotoShop and would either like to open a Raw file or manipulate a jpg in Camera Raw, is it possible to open Camera Raw without having to use Bridge?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You would have been better off asking on the Camera Raw Forum, not Photoshop (since you posted it only to the Windows side).
As for your questions, you can indeed coordinate settings to and from Camera Raw and Lightroom but it's a matter of understanding how metadata editing works...In Camera Raw/Bridge, settings are saved in the file or in a side car file...in Lightroom settings are saved in the Lightroom catalog database, not the file or side car UNLESS you specifically instruct Lightroom to read or write the settings to or from the file.
So, what Camera Raw does to a file will need to be read FROM the file inside of Lightroom. Just make no mistake that once the image in actually processed and opened inside of Photoshop, it's no longer a raw file but a processed file and anything you do to it afterwards in Photoshop will not be in the original raw file.
The other questions aren't really Lightroom questions and would be better of posted in the Camera Raw forum...

PSE3 Raw Converter: (+Exp. Comp) vs (-Exp Comp and +Brightness)

When I open Nikon D70 *.nef files in the standard editor, the raw converter usually has preselected or chosen to lower exposure compensation and then raise the brightness level (this is when all the "auto" settings boxes are checked). Other than using my own eyes to try to assess this, why does it choose to do this rather than leaving brightness alone and just increasing exp compensation? Is it better somehow? Thx for any advice. -Chuck

Chuck....
I think your final question is a little skewed...Camera v PC.
The RAW format as delivered by your camera is effectively un-processed by the camera...hence RAW. The RAW data has to be processed externally.
The more philosophical question would be which Software performs better processing. The Camera manufacturers or Photoshop. There are arguments for both sides but some people feel that the Camera manufacturers software should do a better job as they are tightly coupled to the camera mechanics. Adobe had to reverse engineer the RAW formats for use in Photoshop as the manufacturers try to keep them proprietary.
Personally I'm quite happy using Photoshop than Canons own brand S/W.
With respect to the Auto Settings....actually I use Photoshop CS instead of Elements....I've NEVER liked what Elements delivered automatically on the odd occasion I've used it.
As Barbara says...trust your own judgement. What's that saying about beauty is in the eye of the beholder....:-)

Help with Raw Converting / Thumbnails

Hey!
I recently encountered a problem with Bridge when I reinstalled cs6.
Currently I use the Technicolor Picture Style when I shoot photos. More info can be found here:
http://www.technicolor.com/en/hi/theatrical/visual-post-production/digital-printer-lights/ cinestyle
This created a nice flat, de-saturated image. Which I could then open into Bridge and ACR without
a problem.
For some reason, now when loaded into Bridge, some sort of vibrance boost is applied to every image.
If I purge the cache, I can see the original flat image that I want, right before bridge converts the thumbnail
into a vibrant one. When I open the file in ACR it uses this new setting as well.
Things I have tried:
- Purge the cache. When I have done this, as stated before, it would go back to "normal" before Bridge automatically
converts it into a more dynamic thumbnail.
- Disabled auto tone adjustments in ACR preferences.
Anyone know how I can prevent Bridge from applying these color changes?

Are you shooting in Raw?
Camera Raw does not support camera picture styles natively, although it is supplied with some close approximations for the camera manufacurers' built-in styles. As Curt says, what you are seeing is a flash of the embedded thumbnail before it is replaced with a version rendered by Camera Raw using it's current defaults. You can change these defaults to use different settings and/or camera profiles, but you cannot get it to understand the picture style used on the camera.
