RAW without destruction

If I crop a nef file in RAW and then open it in CS6 and then as the next step I save it as a Tiff file, the original NEF file is also cropped. How do you work in RAW and then in CS6 without altering the original file?
Thankyou Ray

I Understand that, but I want the original NEF file to remain unchanged, at it's original location, after I open the image from ACR to photoshop.
thankyou Ray
How about using ACR's snapshot? Create one sna[shot to be the unedited version of your NEF, then another to be your cropped version. When next you open the NEF in ACR you can select either version using the Snapshots tab of the Camera Raw dialog box.

Is there a way to open Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting?

Is there a way to start up Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting? I think in the past it started without Photoshop starting; or did it?

If you select the image in Adobe Bridge you can choose File > Open in Camera Raw. Adobe Camera Raw will open the image using Bridge as the host application and you won't have to start Photoshop. There's no way to open Camera Raw without a host application.
If you can't find Adobe Bridge on your computer and you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Bridge is one of the programs you can install using the Creative Cloud application.

How can I save adjusted Raw files to Tiff without destruction of original Raw file in Elements 11?

How can I make available "Refine edge" when advised in (Elements 11 - Guided - Depth of field - Custom - Blur - that the "Command refine edge is not currently available" ??????

Looks like you have two qustions:
1. You can't destroy the original camera raw file because photoshop elements cannot save over the original camera raw file.
the tiff format is different than the camera raw files from your camera, even though in some ways they are related
They are camera raw files and not jpegs or tiffs from the camera?
2. I'd reset the pse 11 preferences and see if that makes a difference for the Guided - Depth of field - Custom - Blur issue
In the adobe photoshop elements (edit)>Preferences>General click on Reset Preferences on next launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

Import RAW without JPEG?

My camera makes sidecar jpegs that are about 4 MB each. I don't want these crappy JPEGs taking up room on my HD. How can I get Aperture to import only the RAW files? Thanks in advance for advice!

Here you go, click here for Dropbox Download of file
Here it is As a service for the service menu
Place this one in user/Library/Services - then it will be available in the service menu in Snow Leopard when your in Finder. Just select all the image files, don't worry about the JPG, the action will ignore them.

Camera raw update without using iPhoto or Aperture

I use Adobe LightRoom 4.4 for my photo editing and therefore I do not need Aperture or iPhoto.
However, I would also like to see the RAW thumbnails in my Finder windows from my Canon G15.
Is there a way to update the Digital Camera Raw without having to install (purchase) either of the Apple Applications?
I'm currrently running Lion but am happy to upgrade to Mountain Lion if necessary.
Thanks in advance.

Well, when I migrated my photos from my MacBook Pro to my IMac in January 2011 some of the last set of photos I had taken did corrupt and I only realised a few months later when I went to make a photo book and got a black picture with an exclamation mark as the originals could not be found.
In my current reorganisation, I have copied the masters file from my macbook pro onto the external hard drive and the masters file from January 2011 onwards from my iMac onto the external drive also and filed all photos. I intend to reimport them from there, thus avoiding the corrupted ones.
The iphoto version is 9.4.3 and the aperture is 3.4.5
I now cannot open either iPhoto or the first library I transferred iPhoto photos to on Aperture. I just get the rainbow ball and it says 'not responding' so I have to force quit the applications. I send crash reports each time to Apple. I have iMac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5
Hoping the new library I have built will work. Do you think I can import the whole lot into a new Aperture library rather than break them down into years?
Thanks for your help Terrence

Moving photos off of my mac's hard drive & onto an external without affecting my imported LR2 pics

HI! A little info first...
I am a photog so I have thousands of photos that i work with from my Mac's Internal Hard Drive.
First, I upload photos from my camera to the Pictures folder on my Mac.
Then, I upload the photos LR where I choose the ones I want to keep and edit. I, then, export my edited photos back to the original folder they were in.
I backup daily using Time Machine, so I am good there, but my HD is about completely full so I need to MOVE the folders of Pics OFF of my computer's HD.
I know that if I move the photos off of my HD and onto an external, all of my photos will in LR will be lost (broken links?).
So, I have two questions...
How can I do this big move and still keep my LR folders in tact? Is this possible?
and,
Should I start a new catalog to begin my new batch of incoming photos? I have so many folders in LR now, that I sometimes have a hard time finding the folder that I need.
**I am using LR2
Thank you so much, in advance, for any help or suggestion!!!
Heidi

Hi Heidi!
   Okay, let's see...
i ADD photos to catalog without moving. and when i export...i export them back to their original folder.
So basically, you are elminating most of the functions of using LR in the first place. So, let me explain a bit..
LR is designed to do a couple of things for your; manage large collections of images, and edit images without destruction of the original image.
Let's take the last one first: without destruction.   You are pointing LR at an original image (using the Add import).   You then use LR to do all the edits you like to it. Then you Export back into the same directory, _overwriting_ your original. This means that all of the history that LR keeps track of, such as your color edits, etc, gets wiped out.   That neatly negates LR's ability to do non-destructive editing.   Because you can't go back to your original, having overwritten it.
Do you have a reason why you shoot in jpg mode? Or is it just because you haven't understood or tried raw mode? The difference shooting in raw makes is quite dramatic in LR compared to shooting in jpg. (And, it makes it almost impossible to overwrite the original!) But that can come as a later refinement, if you wish. Let's work on your current problem.
on the left side, under folders...i have about 200 folders from the last
year and i have about 60,000 photos total in my catalog. obviously, it
is getting hard for me to find folders when i need them even though i do
label each folder with the year/month/brief desciption (2010 december
xmas)
I think we have a different description of how you create folders. If you have 200 hundred folders, you are not doing what you claim; year/month/... Becuase that would mean you have been taking photos for 200 years!
Here is what I meant by folder structures. I keep all of my images in a sub-folder called MainCatalog. That way, when I do backups, I only have to grab that one folder, and everything below it is backed up.
Top level is major project, it's the one farthest left, below my parent folder:
MainCatalog
   family_farm
   rugby
   wedding
Under those catagories, each one has a year folder.
MainCatalog
   family_farm
            2010
            2011
And each folder under the year has month
MainCatalog
family_farm
           2010
                 2010-01
                 2010-05
And each folder with month under it has the day,
MainCatalog
family_farm
          2010
                2010-05
                         2010-05-03
                         2010-05-06
You could, for example, replace the bottom folder with a description appended to it. You can see that this decreases the number of folders you have to scan to find what you are looking for; by knowing the year and month, it's down to at most 31 folders. This can be changed around; you could remove the top level project, and just use the rest of it, or move the project to the bottom... many ways of doing it. One reason I chose this method is that LR will create all of the folders for me, I just create the top level major project folder. Then in the import dialog, I point to the major project folder, and tell LR to import via the date format, and choose the year->year-mon->year-mon-day format. Easy.
Now, as to moving your images to an external disk...
First, I would promote a parent folder. This is done from within LR. Bring up LR, and right-click on any of the folders you currently have, and select "promote parent folder". This will have the effect of moving all of your folders into a sub-folder, and you'll now see the sub-folder at the very top in your list. This is good.
And by finder, we meant the normal operating system's finder, not from within LR. Some people move from within LR, some don't. I find that if I use the operating system to move my files and later tell LR to reconnect them, I don't have problems with LR not being able to see the drive, as some people say they do. Works both ways, but I obviously like my way better.
Now, as to moving your images... yep, it's easy, as someone else pointed out. Just drag (move, not copy) and drop onto your new hard drive from your operating system. Then when you bring up LR, you'll see '?' on the folder pane, saying LR doesn't know where these are anymore. Right-click on the top-level (parent) folder that you promoted, and browse to the new location and LR will connect them again. The reason for doing the promote parent is that you only have to do this once; LR will connect all of the folders below it if they are in the same structure.
You don't need to upgrade to LR 3.3 if you don't need to yet; I would recommend downloading Lr 2.7, however, as it fixed a few bugs in 2.6. And it's a free upgrade. With your current worfflow, there isn't a dramatic improvement in using 3.3. The improvements are mostly for raw files, and many people have found that 3.3 is slower in regards to 2.6/2.7.
Does that make sense now?
Cheers!

Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge! After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
I badly need help!

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

Hi folks,
I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
- No previews or ratings showing
- Ratings filter not working
- Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
- Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit

Bridge crashes with camera raw 4.4.1 installed, OK with 4.0

When I use Bridge with camera raw plugin 4.4.1 installed to navigate to a folder with at least one raw image shot with Sony Alpha 100, it consistently crashes. I can open the same image using Photoshop and Camera raw without a problem, so the image is not corrupted. Bridge works as expected with raw files from Sony Alpha 700.
If I revert to camera raw plugin 4.0 it works like a charm for Sony Alpha 100 pics, but my new Sony Alpha 700 is not supported.
I have tried using a clean user account, with no caches at all so that can not be the problem. I'm on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.3 and CS3.
Here is an excerpt from the crash log, showing that it is indeed the camera raw plugin causing the trouble:

I'm still looking for some help.
Now that I've learned a little bit more, let me try to restate my problem. In using both a Nikon D200 and a new Nikon D300. For software I'm using PS CS3 Extended Edition, as a part of Adobe's CS3 Design Premium suite. My Dell Inspiron 530 is running Vista Home Premium.
As I've said before, my problem is that I cannot open NEF files shot with either the D200 or D300 (and they are uncompressed NEF files). I downloaded the new Camera Raw plug-in, ver. 4.3.1, and unzipped it to \program files\common files\adobe\plug-in\CS3\file format. The Camera Raw.8bi file is dated 11/30/07 and is about 10,446,000 in size. Then I run a search of my hard drive to make sure there are no other Camera Raw files anywhere. Then, in PS Bridge, I purge the cache of the file folder where the NEF files are located. Then I try to open a NEF file and get the following error message in a PS CS3 Extended box:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
Then, immediately afterwards I ran another search of my hard drive, and the Camera Raw.8bi file is GONE, DISAPPEARED, VANISHED.
Is the problem with the CS3 Entended Edition?
Can anyone help me out here, particularly you Nikon shooters?
Thanks for any advice.

Bridge CS6 bug (?) opening Hasselblad RAW files

Summary:
Some of my Hasselblad RAW files cause an error message when opening in Bridge or PS. Further when using Bridge, more and more of these files get corrupted. I can use Nikon RAWs without problem so it does not seem to be my system or setup. I only happens with the Hasselblad RAWs. I can use Hasselblad files using the original Hasselblad software without problems so it can not be my Hasselblad camera setup which I am using for years now. Further, I can still open these CS corrupted files with the hasselblad software. When I only work with the Hasselblad software there is absolutely NO problem for years now. I only have this issue when I switch to Bridge CS6.
Details:
I have a set of Hasselblad FFF RAW files that I can use and open without problems in Bridge CS6 (5.0.0.399 x64). But one file of them did not show a preview icon and when I tried to open it in PS6 or RAW editor, I get an errormessage "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.". When I open the same file in Hasselblad "Phocus" software there is no problem. I can see the preview thumb there and I can play around with the file and even export to TIF or DNG without any trouble. I can even open the exported DNG in PS or Bridge/RAW editor then. But it is impossible to work with the RAW file in Bridge.
Yes, it looks like the file is corrupted. But why can I open the same file with the Hasselblad software? I work with the Hasselblad software for years now and NEVER had any issues.
Now I started working with the uncorrupted files in CS6 (playing with the RAW settings, open in PS, etc.). After some days I get more and more "corrupted" files. Even files that showed a thumb before are no longer showing the icon and are unable to open. So the same files that where ok at first now are corrupted! This only happens with Hasselblad files. I have absolutely no issue with Nikon RAWs, which I also use a lot. So the problem can not be caused by my computer or my system.
No there is no issue with my Hasselblad setup because I use this for years now and it workes absolutely flawless with the Hasselblad RAW software. the problems arised when I started using Bridge CS6. When I turn back to the Hasselblad Phocus software all these corrupted files are able to open! All files are 100% ok there! It shows all the thumbs and I can export these files to TIF and DNG without any trouble. Back in Bridge I can even open the DNG files then but not the original RAW files.
Please don't tell me my files are corrupted or I need to change my way of file transfer. This is definately not the case because everything works fine when I work the way I did for years. The problems started when I switched to CS6.

The older FFF format is not completely supported in ACR. I suggest using Phocus to read the FFF files and save/export as DNG, which can then be read in ACR.

Camera RAW and Elements Hang during Thumbnail Generation...

Ever since I upgraded to the newest version of Camera Raw, I have been having issues with Photoshop Elements hanging while automatically generating thumbnails, anyone else notice this issue?
Hang is not quite the right description... So I import a batch of pictures and PSE starts processing the files ("Generating Thumbnails" is in the tool bar at the bottom). After a few images are processed, it just stops. If I try to force an update of the thumbnail ("Update Thumbnail" option under the Edit menu), a broken image just come back. No mater what I do, it just sits there and will not resolve the thumbnail issue until I close out PSE and go into task manager and make sure that the task is killed.
On the other hand, while I can not get the thumbnails generated, I can go into the Editor with a raw image and it opens in Camera Raw without any problems.
Anyone else having similar issues? Know anything to try?
* Yes I have the most recent version of Camera Raw. When I downgrade to an older version of Camera Raw, the issue seems to go away.
* I can not use the old version all the time because I have a Nikon D300, which is only supported in the newest version. I confirmed the working of things with some of my D200 files.
* I am using Photoshop Elements 6.0, mainly for organization of all my images because I take a lot of them.
* I am doing this on a Windows XP x64 machine
* Based on a post someplace, I did check that my default printer on my machine is set to a printer that is always on the machine (PDF writer) and not a network printer/printer that has been disconnected.
Thank you for any help/suggestions that anyone can give me...
-Matt

Have you tried the Elements forum?
Not many visitors here have Elements, mostly PSCS and Bridge.
If you where using Bridge I would suggest to purge cache and or refresh the preferences but I have no clue if this is possible in Elements? :-(
Edit:
Do you have enough RAM installed, generating thumbnails from RAW can take a lot of energy from the OS...

Camera Raw in PhotoShop CS4?

Hi,
As I can no longer use Adobe Bridge CS4 due to its attempts to destroy my PC.
How is it possible to access Camera Raw without opening Bridge?
I read in a book on Camera Raw (Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS4 by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe ) that it was possible but the book did not explain how to do it.
I know that attempting to open a RAW image opens The Camera Raw plug-in, but in Bridge you could also open a JPG in Camera Raw. My camera takes RAW and JPG. So when I have JPG images taken by my camera I wanted to open and edit those in Camera Raw, but not if it means having to risk using Adobe Bridge - so I need to know how to do it in PhotoShop CS4.
Can anyone help?

This problem has been driving me nuts, however I came across what I think is the answer.
I have CS4 and Windows Vista and Adobe Raw 5.5. If I have CS4 open and then open Bridge and right click on an thumbnail in Bridge and select 'open in ACR', or 'control+R', then the dreaded 'Camera Raw is not enabled' message appears.
However, if I do not open CS4 but go directly into Bridge, then click on a thumbnail, ACR opens automatically. If I press shift and click on a thumbnail then CS4 opens. Itseems to me that it should be the other way round, 'shift+click' should open ACR and 'click' should open CS4. However this is what happens so I am learning to live with it.
If Adobe staff read this please send an update which will reverse this, therefore correcting it, or perhaps change your instructions round so that they match the reality. In any case let me know.

Not opening multiple RAW files

If i open a Raw file in Bridge, it opens up perfectly. Also my jpegs and tiff open in RAW, so no problem there. The problem is, that I cannot open multiple Raw files from Bridge into Raw with the option "open in Camera Raw" So the shortcut cmd+R ( I am on a mac) does not work. It says that Raw has to be opened at least once. I have been using Raw for years now so it has been opened multiple times.
I Can not seem to find a solution. I would really like to open up multiple edited Raw files at once, and in Raw give the order to rename them into JPEG. If you do that, you see Photoshop CC and a window that says how many convertions are left. So far so good... but before, I was able to open up some new raw files in Camera Raw without having to wait for Photoshop to convert everything. Now I have to wait for a long time before I can make my new Edits. Can somebody please help me?
I am using all updated software.
Ben

Hello SSPRENGEL,
Thank you very much for your reply. My apologies for the mess up with RAW and ACR naming.
The situation is, that I can not open any file with CMd-R. I can open single files with CMD-O. But I need to open multiple files at ones with CMD-R. It used to work good.
The problem is, That I am in the business of school photography. I take the pictures as RAW files on an Nikon camera (nef) After I ajust all the pictures, I have to rename all of them to JPEG, just to get them online.
I used to do that with ACR. But now the problem is, if I open a lot of picures with CMD-O, It opens up very good in ACR and I still can give the command to save all of these as JPEG. It workt great, but I have to wait a looooooong time before I can open up my next batch of pictures and start to adjust those. Normally, it would save the files as JPEG and I was able to open up a new batch of pictures in ACR right away. That saves me A LOT OF TIME. This only works if you can open the files with CMS-R. Strange...
I updated my I-mac to 10.9.1 so I see that is not the newest. PS-CC is 14-2-1 x64 and I am using the beta ACR for now (8.4)
I just tried to open a RAW file in photoshop with the normal open command and it lauches ACR perfectly. But again from within Adobe bridge I still get the same error about needing to open a qualifying product at least once.
Stange isn't it?
Thank you very much for your time!

Automatically open raw files in camera raw

PLEASE READ the post before posting a reply as i may have already tried something you think might be the fix.
basics: latest version of all adobe CC 2014 products including bridge 6.1.0
win8.1
after i've imported raw files (either RW2 or CR2) it USED to be that when i double clicked on a file it automatically opened camera raw and then after my edits and i clicked OPEN IMAGE it would then open in pshop.
now they open in windows image viewer (sic)
SO
i went to EDIT>PREFERENCES and changed the specific camera files to open in pshop 2014. (as there's nothing that allows 'open in camera raw')
so now when i double click on a file in BRIDGE it opens PHOTOSHOP and THEN goes to Camera Raw 8.6
BUT...
i want to DOUBLE CLICK and open CAMERA RAW without going into pshop.
yes i know if i right click on the image it offers 'open in camera raw' which works, OR i can Ctrl+R and they open just fine,
but where can i set it so a double click (which is faster) does this automatically?
thanks in advance.

What kind of TIFFs? Are they multi-layered, for instance? ACR will not open layered files.

such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
