Specular Highlight colour problem - Leica M8 RAW files

I have sent feedback to Apple regarding this problem.
Use of the moire slider does not eliminate the coloured dots on bright specular highlights, for example sun reflecting off water droplets.
By comparison, Capture One software produces bright white specular highlights.
Hope Apple can improve this rendering in future versions of Aperture.

Thanks Richard
I downloaded them and read the feature on which they are based. Essentially it is what I have been doing to date. The settings there are probably more extreme than those I have been using in terms of saturation.
My understanding is that LR/ACR identifies the camera name in the Metadata and then goes to a conversion routine/look-up table using hard-wired parameters which are based on Adobe's tests on those cameras. The presence of the IR cut filter makes a big difference to the look of the image. Thus I believe that the calibration for this internal setting mechanism needs to be amended after the camera has been reassessed.
Accepting that Adobe have assembled major players to help devise the way in which to convert RAW files, I am not saying it will not work, just that the output for this particular camera is awry. It may be that other camera types produce good colour from LR/ACR on account of their calibration. Maybe not, are there with Capture One experience who also find the LR/ACR colour conversion lacking in comparison?

    I am using PSE 9. I had no problem opening my Raw files from my Canon Rebel XT  Now  I have a Rebel 5ti and pse 9 won't reconize the Cr2 files

    See this faq:
    FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
    That will explain why each new camera model uses its own raw format. (.CR2 does not indicate a format, only a Canon family of formats).
    The first link tells you what version of camera raw is needed for your camera : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You need ACR 7.4
    The second link tells you which ACR versions are supported by Elements versions Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    PSE9 supports version 6.5
    Further down on that paper, you get links to download the free Adobe DNGconverter for Mac or Win.
    This standalone software can batch convert a whole folder of raw files to the DNG raw file format that your present PSE9 can read.
    Otherwise, you would have to upgrade to version 10 or later.

    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.

  • Colour problems when opening PEF files in ACR

    I have the problem that when I open a (Pentax) raw image in ACR the colours (particularly blue it seems to me) go awry.
    If I open  the image in Pentax Photo Browser the image is displayed correctly.
    If  I convert the image to jpg in Pentax Photo Lab the image is displayed  correctly.
    If I open this jpg in Photoshop Elements 8 the image is  displayed correctly.
    It's only when I open the raw files directly in Photoshop  that the colours are wrong.
    Opening the raw file in Elements opens the  'Camera raw' window, which has various adjustment tabs with sliders.   What ever adjustments I make in this window, I cannot seem to  replicate/keep the correct colours.
    I have tried resetting and then using the Camera Raw Defaults.
    I've also tried some other adjustments, i.e. setting the white  balance to 'Daylight' (as this is how the camera is usually set) and the  camera calibration to 'Camera Standard' - I can get the blue somewhat  close, but then the yellow is out.
    So, at the moment, I have to process  the raw files in Pentax Photo lab, then open and edit them in  Photoshop.
    It would be nice to be able to bring single PEF files into PS without having to convert them first.
    What  on earth am I doing wrong?  Or is this a genuine limitation with ACR?
    Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Dingo.

    Jim Hess,
    That's helpful advice, thank you.  Sadly, I've been unable so far to make adjustments in ACR that are anywhere near (IMHO) the images as displayed in Pentax Photo Lab.  Even the (truly awful) MS Office picture manager provides more consistent colour.
    I'm still convinced that I'm doing something wrong.  I know that Elements is much cheaper than full Photshop (something that I simply can't afford to buy) but to be so wildly out is unbelieveable.
    For example, I took a photo of a jet passing overhead, with (out of focus) leaves on a tree, then went in and loaded this onto my computer.  IMHO the Pentax Photo Browser showed the scene pretty much as was. After converting to jpg in Photo Lab, I loaded into PSE 8 and Office picture manager - both display consistently with the raw image displayed in Photo Browser.
    However, when I loaded the same raw file into ACR the blue sky has a greenish tinge that I can nearly adjust out, but either way, the green leaves look muddy and the colour is weak.  If I get the leaves good, then the blue is very over saturated.  When I compromise both the blue and the green, the aluminium fuselage on the jet has a red/purple tinge.
    Some more information:  Monitor is calibrated (I borrowed a colleages Huey).  Camera and PSE are both set to Adobe RGB.  I print to a Epson R1400, with colour management handled by PSE, and the colour matches the screen very well.
    Any further advice much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Dingo.

  • Problems opening up RAW files in the Adobe elements 12 editor

    I just installed Elements12 on my Windows Desktop.
    Operating System Windows XP SP3, Quad Core Processor 2.4GhZ, 3Gb RAM (based on these spec, I should be meeting minimum system requirements)
    My camera's RAW format (Rebel 4Ti, CR2) is supported by the installed Camera RAW version (8.0.0.xx).
    I had no problems opening up the RAW file into Camera Raw. I performed the basic adjustments and save the image as a .DNG file. No problems so far.
    (1) I then tried to open the RAW file into the Elements Editor by clicking on "OPEN Image" in Camera RAW. I goes the error message that this action could not be completed due to a program error.
    (2) I also tried to open the .DNG file directly. I got an error message telling me I had not enough RAM to complete this action (see above, I have 3Gb installed)
    Can anybody advise me what to do, or what the problem is>
    Thanks.

    You might start looking for a new computer with windows 7 or 8 64 bit.
    Not because windows xp is a bad operating system, but it's not supported by microsoft any longer and more and more software companies are dropping support for xp.
    (even one of my favorite open source programs; Krita, dropped support for windows xp)
    Plus, new programs seem to be more and more ram hungry and a 64 bit version of windows can make a world of difference.

  • Problem importing NEF raw files in PSE 11

    In the past week I have become unable to import Nikon raw files (NEF format) into PSE 11 editor.  I seem to have the latest version of  PSE 11 and the latest camera raw plug-in (7.4).  All was working fine.  I now get an error message "unable to use the camera raw plu-in.  It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements".
    Can anyone please help?
    Many thanks.

    Did you update via the Help> Updates menu option or by some other means?
    Search your computer to make sure you only have the one copy of 'Camera RAW.8bi'. On my windows 7 64-bit it  is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi and is 24,719,736 bytes.
    Are these NEF files from a newer Nikon camera? If so which one? Each camera has it's own NEF format (although the error message you get does not suggest this would be the problem)?

  • Big problem, cant import RAW files.

    Ok so I have a Canon 20D, and Ive been shooting all my photos in RAW format, and was hoping that LR can read it. On my homePC I have a card reader, so it sees the files as RAW, and .jpg and Ive got no problems. But when I try doing this on my laptop which has no card reader, every program including LR only import .jpeg files. The RAW files are nowhere to be seen. Is this something I can fix? is the camera at fault? Will it be possible to import RAW files only if I get a card reader for my laptop?
    All help is greatly appreciated.

    Are you connecting the camera directly to your laptop? I believe there is an issue with Canon cameras and Lr. Check Adobe's documentation.
    Also are you using Canon software to download from the camera?

  • Problem with importing RAW files from camera

    LR 1.3 refuses to import raw files from my camera. Only JPEG's are imported. Got a Canon 350D/Rebel XT. Once I copied the raw files to disk (using Camera Window) Import from disk works fine and converts the CR2 to DNG without a problem. The preference "Treat JPEG files next to..." makes no difference. Anybody a clue what's wrong?
    Thanks, Edwin

    Yeah this is a known bug with Canon cameras in general (not just using Lightroom!). If you use the camera to download your images anyway, I believe the trick is to set the camera to mass storage mode and you'll also get the RAWs. Lightroom's import from camera is very buggy though, hence it is a better idea to use a reader, or to manually copy the files to your harddisk first and import from there.

  • Adobe Camera Raw in CS3 is having problems with the RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark II

    Adobe Bridge will import the CS2 raw files from the camera card in m Canon 5D Mark II but it will not create thumbnails nor will it convert them to DNG. I want to update the raw reading software but the update page indicates that it only updates into CS4. Will I have to upgrade to CS4 before I can import from my new camera?
    ML

    The dng converter does indeed work but it adds an extra step to the workflow. Raw files from my Canon 40D are exported and converted to dng in Bridge in one step. Now I must add the extra step of using dng converter. Can I upgrade Adobe Bridge's raw capacity so that I can import from my new camera in the same efficient way? I would prefer to do this without buying CS4.
    thank you -- ML

  • Problem with recognition raw files from nikon d600

    hello everyone, i hope someone can answer my question.
    using cs5 with camera raw . camera raw is not able to open my nef files from my new nikon d600 . what can i do to update the plugin??
    from the menu help updates in cs5 it tells me that all soft.  is updated but it is still not working

    You need to upgrade to PS CS6 in order to work with D600 raw files. Else, you can convert your raw files to DNG using DNG Converter.

  • Problems with viewing RAW files and cannot update to ACR 5.7

    Hi
    I purchased a canon 7D today, then went to take some pictures and came home to find my RAW files are not readable by Bridge or Photoshop. I have done some research and it seems that the solution would be to update. I did this. However, two of my five updates failed to install, one of which is ACR 5.7. I then looked into this and have found the best option is to manual install, but this is confusing me as the directories is says to use do not exist on my mac. I don't know what to do, can anyone help? I just want to be able to view my files in Bridge and edit in ACR and photoshop!!!!!
    Thanks.

    If you download the 5.7 camera raw update from the following link,
    the installation should be automated:

  • Problems viewing Canon Raw Files

    Currently my company has CS3. We received some camera raw files that were taken with a Canon 5D Mark II. We cannot open them in Photoshop. One of the employees has CS4 and were successfully able to open the files because they have version 5.6 of Camera Raw. Our CS3 Photoshop has version 4.6 Camera Raw. When we tried to install the 5.6 update to our CS3 MACS it failed. Do you have any advice?

    Hi,
    download the newest DNG converter and convert the CRW files.
