Setting Preferences in Camera RAW?

Can you tell me where to set this preference in Camera RAW, please? This note is from the Lightroom 4 ReadMe. Sory for being stupid, but I can't seem to fine prefs for "Camera RAW."
Viewing Lightroom settings in Camera Raw
Before working in conjunction with Lightroom and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files. By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightroom‟s develop module.
Thanks,
ken

I have the same workflow, but I don't do anything! I don't use xmp sidecars, and LR simply transfers the raw file with whatever develop settings it has in its catalog to CS5, CS6 or Elements11. I just use whatever default settings the programs have for this, and my develop settings get transferred just fine.

Confused by a Bridge Preference in camera raw

Hello,
I am setting up preferences in Bridge to open up JPEG's in camera raw, as well as raw images.
There are 2 sets of preferences in Bridge-regular preferences and camera raw preferences.
I understand the camera raw preferences, where I can have it disable Tiffs, but open all jpegs or jpegs that have been processed in camera raw.
However, in the regular Bridge Preferences-there is an option to : "Double Click edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" - can someone explain to me what this preferences does?
thanks!

Camera raw won't save preferences?

Every time I open the dialog box and select "open all jpeg/tiff files automatically" it instead keeps reverting to "open all jpeg/tiff files with settings" and I do not want the settings option selected but camera raw won't change it! I have edited permissions in explorer to allow full control/access
but it doesn't change anything.....please help

Do you mean camera raw 8.6?
The preferences for camera raw are in
C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Defaults
the file is Preferences.xmp
so maybe there is a permissions problem with that folder or the file has gotten corrupted somehow.

CS4 and Yosemite, Camera Raw update

I bought a new apple macbook with Yosemite, I installed Adobe CS4.
All good so far.
But when i wanted to install the Camera Raw update Adobe refused.
How can I install the newest Camera Raw?

You can't. The last version of Camera Raw supported by CS4 was 5.7, which is still worth having.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
You can use the latest version of DNG Converter. Set its Compatibility preference to Camera Raw 5.4 and later, and duplicate folders of raw files to DNG files, which can be opened by Camera Raw 5.7 running on CS4.

How do I backup Camera Raw Database?

I have my 'how to save image options' setting set to 'in camera raw database' instead of individual xmp files which i find cluttersome and I view my folders outside of bridge so hiding them in bridge doesn't help me.
I've read (on here) that if you use the database method if you so much as move a folder or move a file then you lose your settings for the file. Well I can move a folder, or file, or rename the folder or file (all in windows explorer with no adobe products running) and bridge/acr still load up all the settings..
So this brings me to my question, when backing up my raw files, besides the image files, what do I need to backup to ensure that it also backs up my settings? Thanks

There are TWO caches. The Bridge cache and the Camera Raw cache. You need to purge the Bridge cache. You need to the Bridge menue to do that, not the use button in the Camera Raw preferences dialog, which purge the Camera Raw cache, which is not the problem.

Purging the cache does not lose any edits in CS2 when working with raw files.

Open in Camera raw grayed out for some tifs not others, bridge

I searched but could not find a solution. CSR. PC. Windows xp. In CS4 Bridge the option to open with Camera raw is grayed out in the file menu for some tifs and not others - It shows up grayed out on the file menu, but doesn't show at all when right clicking, even with the files where open with camera raw is not grayed out in the file menu. I have purged the cache, deleted all temp files, closed both bridge and photoshop and still I cannot open the tif in camera raw. It is grayed out. If I go to the pic I touched up yesterday the option is not grayed out. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

My intent is to batch process in Camera Raw -- my preferences have always been set to use camera raw for TIF and JPG files, and I have never had a problem accessing Camera Raw either directly in PhotoShop itself, or Bridge.
Please e-mail me a copy of your response to [email protected]
Uh, this is a forum...not an email tech support organization...
As for your issue, it's simply not clear what you are doing or what issue you have. Can you not open the scanned images via Camera Raw from within Bridge? If you can then you will need to go through each image and adjust the ACR settings before you would be able to process them. Depending on how you set up your actions, Photoshop's Batch may or may not catch settings...that part is pretty complicated.
Also, I would question your use of JPEGs vs TIFFs. I would suggest scanning as 16 bit TIFF and running those through Camera Raw...you will be loosing a lot to scan into 8 bit JPEG and then re-running through Camera Raw. You really want to be sending ACR 16 bit images...

Opening 32 bit TIFF in camera raw (or not...)

I have been following tutorials on creating HDR images in photoshop using the 32 bit function.
Once I have created the 32 bit image, and saved it as a Tiff file. I then go into bridge and made sure the preferences for camera raw are set to enable suppoprted TIFFs. However I cannot open this image through camera raw, it just opens up in photoshop...
In the turorials I have seen this does not seem to be a problem for others, why won't this work for me?

Sudarshan,
Thankyou for your reply.
I have managed to resolve this problem now. I have recently downloaded photoshop and therefore assumed it was the most up to date version. This was not however the case, as I had camera raw 7.0 installed. I have updated this to the latest version and this problem has resolved itself, I can now edit the 32-bit TIFFs in camera raw.

Camera Raw updates Date Taken in JPG Files

Hi,
I have CS6/CR 7.2. I have had this issue where my file dates became changed (8000 odd files) so I had to restore 23000 files from backup .
When investigating trying to find out what happened. when I open a JPG from Windows Explorer, photoshop is set to use Camera Raw for jpg files on open (ok). If I cancel the dialog, nothing happens (ok). If I click Done or Open Image, the file itself has the "Date Taken" time updated - 7 hours ahead of the original correct time.
This pretty much matches the date issue I have on the 8000 files. Is this expected behaviour? Why would Camera Raw update Date Taken and did it choose 8 hours because I am in the PST timezone (GMT-8 or currently GMT-7 with daylight savings)?
I have reproduced this on 4 or file random files - taking copies and comparing afterwards.
Thanks!
Mark.

Camera Raw writes your JPEG files back out with updated metadata no matter what settings you choose, because Adobe feels they understand the format of metadata in the files well enough to be confident they will not corrupt the files.
I've asked them for years to avoid doing that, to no avail. I don't want my original files re-written. It sounds as though you are of a like mind.
It is for this reason that I *never* open a JPEG file through Camera Raw.
It's possible there is a time zone problem or something, but that's not the point. What, specifically, is corrupted is less important than Adobe believing it's okay to write back to your JPEG files. That you have actually seen something corrupted is testament to it not being unfounded paranoia.
Generally I'm supportive of Adobe's design decisions, but absolutely not on this issue. All I ask is that Adobe honor the "keep settings in the central database" preference choice for ALL input files, not just those for which they would otherwise write an XMP file. I don't think it's too much to ask.
By the way, you might want to visit the Camera Raw-specific forum and make note of your issue there:

Camera Raw 5.4 RC and PSE 6 Mac

Hello,
Does anybody know when CR5.4 for PSE 6 Mac will be available?
Thanks

Do follow the instructions. I followed my previous habit of setting the old Camera Raw plugin aside, prior to installing the new, in case I wanted to revert. Apparently the installer refers to the existing plugin to decide what language settings to use - I ended up with all ACR buttons and menus displaying in an Asian character set.
Then after manually restoring the 5.3 version to its rightful place, I had to jump through some hoops before PS or Bridge could see it. Deleting prefs did nothing, nor did rebooting. I finally got it back to sanity by running cameraprofiles.mpkg from the 5.3 download. However, now I couldn't rerun the 5.4 installer, as it insisted 5.4 was already installed. I was finally able to get the 5.4 installer to work, only by rerunning the PS CS4 installer to reinstall CS4 (no need to uninstall.)

Camera Raw 5.4 RC available on Adobe Labs - Note from Adobe

How do I open Camera Raw dialogue box in Elements 11?

What version of mac os x are you using?
It sounds like you set Enable to Camera Raw instead of setting Format to Camera Raw.
Where it says Format, set that to All Readable Documents and for the most part you shouldn't have to change that.
After you click on the jpeg file in the Open Dialog, set the Format to Camera Raw

Canon 60D files can't be opened in Bridge (CS4 version); Camera Raw 6.6 has key features missing

I am a Mac user (latest OS) and had been using Camera Raw from Bridge CS4 (part of my Elements 8 bundle) to edit my raw pictures from Canon RebelXTi. I upgraded to a 60D, downloaded the pertinent Camera Raw plug-in, but my raw files still wouldn't open in Bridge. I purchased Elements 10, thinking that would solve all problems, but apparently Bridge and Camera Raw are no longer part of the package! I downloaded the latest Camera Raw patch for Elements 10 (6.6), and I can now open raw files from Photoshop, but the Camera Raw version is not full featured and Bridge still can't open my 60D files. How can I get the full version of Camera Raw back AND have my 60D files opened? I deleted Elements 8, but not Bridge, and I can still open raw files from my Rebel in the earlier full version of Camera Raw. When I check in Elements 10 preferences, only Camera Raw 6.6 shows up, so that should be correct. Any ideas?

The full-featured ACR with Elements loophole has been closed in the newer Mac Elements, I believe. Us PC folks never had Bridge with Elements or haven’t for many versions, already , so have already been limited in RAW processing with Elements. Adobe finally “fixed” the Mac version, too, I think.
For full-featured ACR and Bridge you’re supposed to pay for Photoshop. Perhaps Lightroom, that is half the cost of PS, and has all the adjustments of full-ACR and you could still link PSE as a final editor step of ACR-type adjustments aren’t enough.
An alternative is to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and then they’ll open in older versions of ACR, like the one that came with PSE 8, assuming you can still install that.

Camera Raw Cache location? SSD or HDD

Where should I set up my Camera Raw Cache location? (SSD or HDD)
My System Configuration
C Drive(SSD): Windows & Lightroom software
D Drive(HDD): Image files & LR catalog file
I know SSD has fast speed but fragmentation occurs. whereas HDD speed is slow, but fragmentation does not occur.
I'd like to know set up my Camera Raw Cache location.

Lagging Crop in Camera RAW

When cropping in Camera RAW, dragging the crop box is very slow and laggy, but it wasn't always this way. It used to be fast and responsive. I've tried clearing PS preferences, clearing Camera RAW cache, increasing Camera RAW cache, and none of this fixes the problem.

Removing Camera Raw changes to jpeg

Just upgraded to CS3. I mostly shoot jpegs, but do like being able to edit images in camera raw. My question is: If I make some changes to a jpeg image in camera raw and decide that I want to restore the image to it's original state, what do I do? I know the changes are not saved with the image, but I just want it to be just like the original so I can start from scratch editing in Photoshop.
Thanks

"Clear Imported Settings" sets all "invisible" controls to their default values. "Invisible" control are controls that the engine supports, but don't have a UI. For example, many of the new Lightroom controls when running in Camera Raw 3.7. If these controls are set using Lightroom, Camera Raw 3.7 will obey them. This command allows the user to remove them if they need to.
