Raw file changed. How come?

I opened a raw file in CS4 Bridge, made some adjustments and opened it in PS.  After I saved the file to my desktop I discovered that the changes I made are now reflected in the original raw file.  I thought raw files are not chageable.
I am sure there is a way to get back to the original, but how?
Thank you in advance, Peter

" I thought raw files are not chageable."
Edits in Camera Raw are none destructive. That is, the actual image pixels are not changed.
What Camera Raw does do -- when you make changes to an image in Camera Raw -- is to save those changes are metadata.
You can remove the camera raw's metadata from an image and thereby "undo" your Camera Raw editing.
In Bridge, you can also view the Camera Raw metadata for an image, which describes the changes you have made to the image in Camera Raw.

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • Raw File update: how to open Sony RX100 III files in CS5?

    I cannot download updates for CS5 Extended for Sony Raw.
    How can I update my Photoshop CS5 Extended to permit it to handle Raw files from my Sony RX100 III on my Mac?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The RX100 III was first supported in Camera Raw 8.5 which is only compatible with CS6 and later.
    So there is no Camera Raw plugin for CS5 which will open Raw files from that camera.
    Options:
    1. Upgrade to CS6
    2. Join the Cloud
    3. Free option: download the Adobe DNG Converter, convert all RX100 III Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNG files in CS5 Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)

  • I have CS4.  I just bought canon 70d.  Photoshop cannot read raw file.  How do I update so it has the support from this camera?

    I have a canon 70d.  My CS4 photoshop will not read the camera raw file.  Help!!

    Unfortunately, there are no camera raw updates that work with photoshop cs4 that will open the canon 70d files directly.
    Which operating system are you using?
    Since photoshop cs4 can only be updated to camera raw 5.7 and the canon 70 d requires at least camera raw 8.2, you could use the adobe dng converter to convert the
    canon 70d files to dng copies which then photoshop cs4 should open.

  • Raw file changes

    Hi, I have another question, When I open a CR2 or DNG file in raw and I do changes to it, then click open image which takes me to photoshop CS4 and save it, then I click on Bridge again to open another raw file, I noticed the previous original raw file I was working on also has changed it has all the changes I did in raw. If I remember right it didn't do this before.

    Thanks for the quick response.
    So what you're saying is that it does change the original raw file, and if I want it to go back to its original state I have to right click that raw file in bridge and clear the settings or go back to raw defaults in the develop settings.  Thanks for your time.
    The changes you make and apply in Adobe Camera Raw leave the original raw file unaltered but the changes are recorded in metadata or a "sidecar file" and affect the appearance, showing a little icon in the Bridge thumbnail.
    If you clear the settings they are, well, cleared.

  • When is my RAW file changed? Upon import? Upon viewing? Only after edit list started?

    All:
    I now have a "second copy" made in a separate hard drive when I import files from my camera cards. I want an untouched file for possible comparative "developing" or rendering in DxO or PhotoNinja. Might convert everything to DNG someday.
    Asking LR to do this at the top of the Import pane is I assume, creates a copy *and* makes NO changes to the RAW data.
    OTOH, Lightroom will offer me the image in Camera Raw to view, create, and interpret my edit/develop decisions. But I have been thinking about this and need to ask all of you: Is that CR2 file in my dated Lightroom database folders a changed file in any way from the RAW file while it was still on the card? The decision to hold edit data in sidecar files plays a part in this, right?  External sidecar files means even after edits I can copy the CR2 file and use it in other [RAW]converter's software?
    jonathan7007

    Being a "non-destructive editor", Lightroom does not (cannot) change your CR2 files....with one exception, which is when/if you choose to edit the capture time of an image, in which case the changed date is written back into the file header's EXIF field. But apart from that, it is never ever changed.....all edits are stored primarily in the catalog's database, and optionally you can have them written into XMP sidecars. Having the XMP sidecar would allow you to open the raw file in another XMP-capable Adobe program, outside Lightroom, and see the edits applied. Not sure if other non-Adobe raw converters would be able to interpret all of that XMP info.
    For non-proprietary raw files (e.g. DNG, Tiff), you can also choose to save the XMP data but in this case it would be written directly into the files header, not into sidecar files. The underlying image data is still, however, unchanged.

  • Sony A100 RAW File processing - How?

    I have a Sony A100 and cannot open my RAW files in elements, I have elements 4.0 on Mac.
    I am a novice to both dSLR and elements so please forgive me if this is a stupid question ... I have a couple of ARW photos, I tried to open them in elements but the files are greyed out so I cannot select them.
    So I then did a bit of research and downloaded a plugin for elements (I believe its for elements and apparently supports A100) thinking that this would allow me to open and process the files - however I get a message from elements saying it does not recognise the file. Any clues as to what I am doing wrong would be very much appreciated.
    I am clueless about trying to get these files into elements to process.
    thanks!!

    Marina,
    Did you download Adobe Camera Raw version 3.7 or 4.0? Did you unzip the
    file and place the unzipped version in the correct folder? The instructions

  • PSE 12 hides Panasonic RAW files. How do I unhide the files?

    PSE 12 has a new feature under Preferences/Camera or Card Reader called "Alutomatically Stack RAW and JPEG." Checking this will stack a RAW & JPEG file combination, i.e., when shooting with the camera's RAW + JPEG setting checked. In my case PSE 12 appears to stack my Panasonic RAW files and each JPEG thumbnail shows the right facing arrow to expand the stack. When I click the arrow the arrow disappears but the stack does not expand to reveal the RAW file. The RAW file still exists on the hard drive, but I can't find any way to reveal it in PSE (I've not tried to re-import the RAW files because there are a lot of files in a lot of folders.) This is rather critical and needs to be fixed. Any ideas??

    The fact that I tried your scenario with PSE12 and your RAW files rules out any kind of support drop

  • 10.4.11 autoupdate killed tiffs and raw files - REPAIRMENT HOW?

    Hi there!
    I got big problems when I was updating from os 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 - everything crashed and I had to install everything new - I decided to take a new harddisk as well, but when I copied the rest of the stuff from the old one, I had to realise that several tiffs and raw files were damaged in a way that "preview" can handle them, but no other programm (no photoshop, or capture one). Is there any possibility to get those stuff back working well?
    Thank you for all your help!!!
    Yours,
    Joerg

    Thanks for that,
    I downloaded RPP and it does indeed open the RAW files and lets me convert them into TIFFs or JPGs which I can then import into Photoshop to play with.  However I'm still confused about why I can't open them in Photoshop directly.  My other camera is a SLR saving to a SanDisk Extreme lll Compact Flash card and I can open RAW files off that on the same computer with no problem using a Photoshop RAW converter plug-in.

  • I recently reinstalled cs2 and now i cannot open raw files.  how can i get them to open?

    i cannot open raw files anymore

    You shouldn't need the dng converter for the nikon d80 as camera raw 3.7 should open them.
    In photoshop cs2 if you go to Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw, what is the version?
    Also, you need to unzip the camera raw 3.7 update and then copy the Camera Raw.8bi to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats  on a 64 bit windows 8 system
                                                              or
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats  on a 32 bit windows 8 system

  • Colours upon importing Raw files change

    Hi,
    I shoot raw on Canon EOS 30D. As I wasn't happy with colour cast on my images (a bit reddish) and I couldn't get the results I like in Lr, I tried to change Picture Style Settings on the camera.
    I shot 3 images with 3 different settigs of Colour Tone (max left, middle, max right).
    I can see they look diffirent on the camera screen, they look different in import dialog box in Lr but when they get imported into Lr, they all look the same!! And the same redddish colour cast on all of them...
    Is Lr applying any settings upon import?
