Reading Camera raw progress

I have two computers - 1 a MAcBook Pro running CS5, the other a PC on Windows 7 running CS4.  IN BOTH CASES I am having trouble processing Raw
photogrpahs, once they have been touched once, the first time I opena file it seems OK.  What happens is a notice comes up saying Reading Camera Raw Preferences, and from then on everything runs slowly or not at all.  I have tried resetting the preferences and re installing Photoshop CS5 on the Masc - all to no avail.

Ah, thanks for that info, Jeff.
It seems possible, ajheddfan50, that you had somehow specified a huge image size in the Custom Crop menu, then the image upon cropping would be upsampled to that huge size.
An overall Photoshop preferences reset would clear such a condition, I think.

  • Reading Camera Raw Format

    I'm a user of Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 runiing the current version of each.  I signed up for Creative Cloud and have downloaded and installed Photoshop CC.  I have not downloaded and installed Lightroom from CC as I understand it is the exact same product as the standalone version.
    My question is - everytime I take a photo (DNG) from Lightroom and click to edit it in Photoshop CC - Photoshop CC opens a dialog box that says 'Reading Camera Raw Format'  That didn't happen when I opened images in CS6.  What causes this and how do I fix it?
    I have checked with a friend who also converted to Photoshop CC and he does not get that dialog (he is running Windows and I'm on a Mac)?

    Since you say you are up-to-date with LR an PS, this suggests you are using LR 5.2 and PS-CC/ACR 8.2.
    Whenever the versions of LR and ACR are compatible, then LR tells PS to open the raw file using LR’s settings, and PS uses the ACR plug-in to open the raw file with those settings.
    The message occurs when the time it takes to render the raw file on the way into PS longer than a certain amount of time. 
    If your LR and CS6-ACR were up-to-date and you weren’t seeing the message, then perhaps something was slightly faster with those two products, and the message wasn’t displayed, or perhaps PS-CC’s time-limit for showing that message was made a shorter amount of time.
    If your LR and CS6-ACR weren’t synchronized in their versions (e.g. LR 5.2 and CS6-ACF 7.1) then LR could have been rendering the file as a TIF or PSD so PS isn’t using ACR to render the file.
    As far as LR-non-CC and LR-CC being the same.  They operate on images files the same, the real difference will occur with LR 6, which you won’t have to pay extra for if you’re using the CC version. 
    There isn’t any reason to download and install LR-CC 5.2 when you already have the regular LR 5.2, but once LR 5.3 comes out, you might as well let CC download and install it, so you won’t have to worry about it, later.  It may be that you’ll have to uninstall LR non-CC 5.2, but perhaps that has been changed in recent updates of the CC Manager app or will be when LR 5.3 is release in the next few weeks.

  • Photoshop CC locking up saying "Reading Camera Raw Format" when opening file from Lightroom

    When I open a file from Lightroom, CC opens and asks about sending data to Adobe, and no matter what answer you give the program locks up at the "Reading Camera Raw Format" prompt.

    What files from which camera do you use? Where are they stored? What system? Are Lightroom and Photoshop properly updated and use the same RAW settings? Provide more info.

    The file that you downloaded is a self-contained running application that installs the update on your computer. After you download that file, you need to double-click on it and follow the prompts to install it. After it has completed you will have Lightroom 4.4 installed and it will be ready to run. If you are on a Windows computer, the installation will replace your 4.1 installation. If you are on a Mac then you will have both versions installed and you will have to be sure you start the right one.

  • What software is needed to read camera raw files from a Canon 5d mark III in elements 9?

    Which camera raw software version do I need to down load in order to read mark 3 raw files in elements 9? Thank you for any help.

    The camera requires at least Camera Raw 6.7. The latest version that is supported in Elements 9 is version 6.5. So, aside from upgrading to a newer version of Photoshop Elements, your alternative is to download and use the free DNG converter from Adobe. What operating system are you using?

  • I had to re-install my CS4 and now it won't read camera raw. What can I do?

    My photo shop works ok except it won't read raw files from my CANON EOS 50D. It did before I had to reload it.

    Did you run al lthe necessary updates? Manually download and install the Camera Raw installer? verify these things. and I recomemnd you ask such specialised questions in the program forums. It's more likely you'll get the right answers there.

  • Lightroom 3.3 will not read camera raw?

    Hi. I recently updated to LR 3.3 and for some reason it will not read my camera raw. I have a Canon E05 Rebel T1i and a PC. The program reads all of my JPG images, but none of the raw. Is there some update available or some setting that I can change? I am not very computer savvy, so any help would be very beneficial. Thanks

    I'm experiencing the same issue with my 7D where LR3.3 will read JPEGs but not the RAW files when connected directly to the camera. I believe it has something to do with the RAW format Canon uses with their DSLRs. LR3.3 has no issue the RAW files (also a .CR2) produced from my Canon G11.
    I''m running Windows 7 64-Bit and both LR and my cameras firmware are upto date. Further the Canon's DSLR RAW format isn't recognized by Windows. If you try using Windows Explorer to copy the files from the camera to your HD, they show up a 0byte "local disks".
    Canon's DPP converts the DSLR RAW file into a .CR2 which can then be imported into LR.

  • Adobe Camera Raw Interface - Can anyone help?

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 installed on my PC running under XP. I have version 6.5 of Camera Raw installed.
    My camera is a Nikon D60 which records its Raw images as .NEF. When I open a Raw file in PSE9 the Camera Raw Interface
    does NOT open. When I click to open a Raw file there is usually a delay before a small rectangular box appears headed Adobe
    Photoshop Elements with the text stating Reading Camera Raw Format, there is a row of green boxes to show the progress. When
    complete the image is displayed in the panel and also in the small panel underneath. When I point the cursor over the image in the
    lower panel the file name is shown as Whatever.NEF but no adjustment controls are shown.
    Assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks.

    This can occur if your screen-resolution is smaller than 768 pixels high.  There is a minimum screen height required to display the ACR controls and if that is not satisfied, then ACR just opens the RAW file w/o showing the adjustment interface.  Commonly Netbooks or very small laptops have this issue.  What is the screen resolution you are using on your PC’s monitor?

  • Photoshop Elements 8 and Camera Raw

    I have Elements 8 installed on my Dell notebook (INSPIRON mini) I have installed the Camera Raw 5.5 plug-in and I am using a Nikon D90 camera.
    The plug-in has been installed in "Program files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/File Formats/ and the file name is Camera Raw.8BI
    Every time I click on a NEF file to load into camera raw, a window appears in Elements saying reading camera raw format and a progress bar under it, when the file has been loaded it opens up in Elements and not in Camera raw. I am now at a lose as what else I can do to correct this problem.
    Any ideas???

    1) Location of Camera Raw Plugin
    With PSE8, the file Camera Raw.8bi has been moved from
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
    to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats
    This is not documented in the ACR 5.5 Installation Guide yet, but PSE 8 comes with ACR 5.5 anyway.
    2) ACR not loading, but PSE Editor
    This sounds to me like the Screen Resolution Problem described here.

  • Camera Raw Editing is not enabled strikes again

    Hello everyone, I've always open raw files from bridge in ACR, since last evening, suddenly, while I am trying to open an image in  camera raw I keep getting an error message that  reads " Camera Raw editing is not  enabled.  Camera Raw editing required that a qualifying product  has been launched at least once to enable this feature." At last I cannot open files in ACR from Bridge at all. After a search in the net I've seen that it seems to be a rather common trouble but none of the solutions I've found (I've read of all in this forum) works for me. Did someone found a final solution to it? Im going crazy traying to understand what is that qualifying product in the message.
    Regards
    Marco

    FWIW, this has happened to me twice as a result of a nightmare computer upgrade. I had to change my motherboard and CPU several times and twice, these different combinations caused Adobe activation to become confused. I got an error about number of activations exceeded and also this error about Camera Raw editing is not enabled. How I solved it:
    a) Called Adobe Support who were able to reset the number of activations, activated Creative Suite.
    b) Exit all open Adobe applications and restart them, it worked.
    This is a minor varation on the previous user's comment, where deactivation/activation worked. I believe that Adobe Support did the deactivation.
    It would be nice if Adobe activation were smarter; I've only ever had one computer, never two and certainly never three.

  • Camera Raw CS4 5.2 Update/Panasonic LX5 .RW2 Files Won't Open

    Hi, recently purchased a Panasonic LX5 that shoots raw using the .rw2 extension. Tried importing into Camera Raw via Bridge, but couldn't get it to open. Read around and discovered that Raw needs to be manually updated to 5.2 and some profiles need to be installed (which I've done). Went to the Adobe download section and followed the directions for installing on a mac (OS 10.6.8) - when I open up other files it reads Camera Raw 5.2 at the top. However, the Panasonic LX5 files still won't open. Did some more searching and I've read that everything from the "files will open without problem" to "they need to be converted using a .DNG converter." So, I'm confused; am I doing something wrong? Is there an additional step I'm missing to the 5.2 update? Do I just need to download the .DNG converter and use that? Any help is appreciated.
    I'm on:
    Mac 10.6.8
    Running CS4

    You should probably update all the way to Camera Raw 5.7, which was the latest update for Photoshop CS4.

  • Camera RAW update with errors

    I am running CS6 on a Macbook Pro.  Photoshop cannot read camera raw files from my new Canon 6D.  I went through the update process and as expected I needed a newer version of ACR.  I completed the update process but with errors.  Camera Raw was not updated.  I was advised to try again.  However, when I attempt to go through the update process again I am told that all apps are up to date.  How can I complete/fix this update?
    Randy

    @ randyhat1,
    This is really unfortunate that you are facing issues with  ACR updates.
    Please verify the current version of ACR on your system.
    Also provide us with the following logs.
    You can find them at:
    ACR  Installer logs
    For Mac:
    Library\Logs\Adobe\Installer
    AAM logs
    For Mac:
    /Volumes/%Volume Name%/Users/%Username%/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0
    You can zip all the files together and send us through mail. This would help us in finding the root cause.
    We can setup a connect session for resolving the issue, What time frame would suit you for connect session? Do let me know accordingly I would send you the request.
    Appreciate your help. Apologize for the inconvenience.
    Regards,
    Ashutosh

  • Camera raw in pse 9

    After re-installing pse 9 and the camera raw plug in, I have been unable to open raw files to make adjustments.  When I open a raw file in my editor it says "reading camera raw" but then never opens with the option to make the usual adjustments.  Can anyone help me figure this out?  Thanks!

    Hi,
    You should be able to open a 40D Raw file with that version of ACR.
    Does the image not open at all? If you are using a netbook or similar with a small screen, a RAW file will sometimes open with a default conversion so that you can't use the normal ACR tools.
    What operating system are you using?
    What is your screen resolution in pixels?
