Straighten and crop in Camera RAW

If I am having difficulty in Camera RAW if I straighten a photo and then try to crop it.
I place the line to straighten the photo and then I hit enter to complete the straightening. If I then click on crop, the image returns to the state before I hit enter after straightening it.
How does one both straighten and crop in in Camera RAW?

When the crop tool is active it will show you the original image with the crop tool outline within. If you open the image or click on the magnifying glass it will apply the crop so you won't see the part around the crop border.
Try this technique on an image that needs straightening (Note: Photoshop CS5):
1. Choose the Straighten tool, and drag a horizontal or vertical line. When you release the mouse button you'll immediately see the crop tool activate
2. Click outside the crop tool border and move the mouse. The crop border will rotate for fine tuning, and you can drag the corners to change the crop.
3. Turn it so that what's inside the crop will be straight.
4. Click on another tool besides Crop (e.g., the Magnifying Glass) to check the result.
5. If there's something wrong, go back to the Crop tool and adjust the outline.

I'm trying to do a batch crop in camera raw and there is no dropdown option in the crop tool to select inches or pixels. How can I fix this?

Create an action to do the crop and user the image processor to batch process your RAW files and have it use your cropping action in the process.

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio. DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

Please help. Performance tips and tricks on Camera RAW 6.6 needed.

Hello I really need your help and I want to thank you in advance for your time!! I need performance tips and tricks for Camera raw 6.6 and Bridge CS5? I have Intel i7 920, with 16GB of RAM which I thought is powerful enough to make developing in Camera RAW smooth as butter but I am not getting that performance. When I slide the settings, it has a delay for the preview and it gets worse if I apply a vignette. I usually open the camera raw file to photoshop and sometimes it does take a considerable amount of time to load. Working on photoshop is great, quick as expected, but Camera RAW makes me cringe.
What tips and tricks would you suggest for performance boost? The best case scenario is to have the preview reflects the changes of the slider without delay. Is this possible?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for your help.
I found an adobe link on how to optimize lightroom and followed some tips there that are applicable to bridge. The notable setting I tweaked was to change my cache directory to my RAID 0 drive, and increased cached size to the maximum setting. The difference is night and day, and I am extremely happy now. The only thing that still bugs me a little is that there is still a slight delay cropping when the vignette is not set to 0 . I can understand that's a little extreme though and I usually add the vignette at the end anyways.
Yammer P:
After making the tweaks, I was able to slide the settings with instant previews even with Noise Reduction (luminance) set to zero.
Robert Shomier:
Thank you for the link, I have seen that before and followed the directions. I upgraded to 16GB of RAM two weeks ago after reading the tips.
Thank you guys again..

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.

Aperture's Straighten and Crop vs. iPhoto's

Hello, I know that when using iPhoto to straighten a pic that it ZOOMS then crops the pic to eliminate the black triangles that would be left behind from the rotation. This zooming is unacceptable for me, as it degrades the pictures (12MP digi cam) just enough for me to see it. I imagine that this is a function of trying to rotate, and crop out the black while keeping the pic the same size (which would require the zoom). I have seen that Aperture straightens and 'crops' but when it auto crops, does it ALSO try to keep the image the same size (which would lead to another zoom situation)? I would just like to find a tool that can straighten, and if need be, cut my image size from 4000x3000 to 3500x2500, versus keeping the 4000x3000 and being slightly blurred. If the camera were garbage and the images were slightly blurred to begin with, then maybe it wouldn't be so noticeable, but my Canon takes really sharp pics and any blur really sticks out. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, iPhoto does the same thing, as far as the pixel count being reduced. I suppose that's just from cropping out the black triangles. However, I just realized that I am an idiot... I exported an original file, then exported a straightened file, and the two resulting files aren't very different... The altered file isn't noticeably any more blurry than the original, it must have been just how it looked in iPhoto's preview window. That's odd... I was getting a little concerned that all of my straightened photos were going to look like garbage when I export them. All seems well... Thanks!

The Camera Raw button in my Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my raw files are hidden by a cover that says PEF and has a camera raw icon on it. I can open the files in camera raw if I double click on the file but I want to see the files and be able to use the camera raw button. How can I fix it?

This means you have not the correct ACR plug in to support your PEF files or no ACR plug in installed at all.
In photoshop go to the menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera Raw.
Here should be showing the version number of your ACR plug in (only 1 version should show btw)
Then go to this site and check wether your camera is listed and what minimal version you need to open the files:

The support for that camera was added in the very latest release of Lightroom, version 5.7.1. Having downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.1 will have no effect on Lightroom because Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. You need to make sure you have updated Lightroom to the very latest release in order to have support for that camera.

Proble with Before and After in camera raw

The problem that I am having is the before and after in Camera Raw. When I press the P key for before and after; CR display the before and after to whole changes that I made and not just to one section. Let say, I am in the Detail section and Just want to see what changes I made in the Detail section only. I used to press the P key, but now I am seeing all the changes that I made to my file. I am using Adobe Photoshop CC and all my software is updated. I appreciatre a fix to this problem with many thanks

Alternatevely you can take advantage of the new function recently introduced in CC. Press "Q" , this will split the monitor in two, (either vertically or horizontally) and each time you go to a new tab and make some change you can go back to previous state by clicking the icon in the bottom right corner (see the picture).
as you can see..you can "toggle between current settings and defaults for the visible panel"

Not going to happen with CS5.

Cs3 straighten and crop , is there a way like cs5?

Hi
on my laptop i run xp adn photoshop cs3 normal (not extended)
what i miss is a good straighten and crop like cs5
in cs3 i use the ruler tool ->rotate canvas -> arbitrary
and i my photo is straight but with big borders around the photo
now cs5 does a great job
but photoshop cs3 no
there is the scipt straighten and crop photos but in this case doesn't do a great job
because delete the borders and my photo returns to be awry
ok i can crop manually , but it's exhausting if i have to work on some photos , one by one
is there a script/action/tips or plugin that can do the same great cs5 job?
thanks
cheers

This sets the rulerunits to Pixels then when finished resets them back to what they were....

Crop Ratio Camera Raw / Scott Kelby Book for Digital Photographers

From the Book of Scot Kelby regarding the Camera Raw usage.
- The Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 Book for Digital Photographers
Chapter 2. WWF Raw: The Essentials of Camera Raw > Cropping and Straightening
If you reopen your cropped photo again in Camera Raw, you’ll see the cropped version. To bring back the cropping border, just click on the Crop tool. To remove the cropping altogether, press the Esc or Delete (PC: Backspace) key on your keyboard (or choose Clear Crop from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu). If you want your photo cropped to an exact size (like 8×10″, 13×19″, etc.), choose Custom from the Crop tool’s pop-up menu to bring up the dialog you see here. You can choose to crop by inches, pixels, or centimeters.
In this topic Scott Kelby is explaining Crop Ratio for ACR 7.x
In this version there is the possibility for Crop Ratio to Inches, CM and Pixels. However with the Newer version this option is no longer available.
Hopefully this will safe some of you the time looking for this.

Precisely what Conrad Chavez says: a very good change.

Canon CR2 raw images are forcibly cropped by Camera Raw

I posted this on the Photoshop Discussion as I did not realise that Camera Raw has its own - sorry folks!
Camera raw is cropping my cr2 images even after I have removed the crop in DPP (Digital Photo Professional - Canon's own raw editing software). I have many images cropped by a Canon 5D3 as it forces a 16:9 crop when you take a still while in video mode. The rest of the data is in the raw file, but this is not read by Camera Raw which forces the 16:9 crop. I have removed the crops in DPP, and even re-cropped with a different crop, saved the files and used every way I can imagine to get them into PS short of turning them into tiffs. I do not want to save as a tiff, as I really like the tools in PS Raw, especially the exposure tool (I am no great photographer but I have some very special and irreplaceable pics form fieldwork overseas which are ahem errr not quite correctly exposed).
My ideal worflow is open folder in DPP - star rate the pics I want to work on. crop them (nice to do this in DPP as it is part of the selection process) then get them into Camera Raw without any more effort, then if an image can be tweaked - do it as a Raw, if it needs more work - get it into PS6 as a tiff and go from there. This seems to minimise effort and minimise file space, at the expense of having two different file types.
Does anyone else work like this, or is there a better way to review 300 similar pics and get the best selected and processed? Has anyone else encounteres this refusal of Camera Raw to ignore the camera's crop? I bleive that there is a plug-in for lightroom, does anyone know a work around for PS - I have PS6 with raw 7.3.
Thanks

Oh can I, thanks . I couldn't see a way to open a tiff in ACR - It only opens when I drag a Raw image into ps6, and it has no file>open to allow me to open a tiff. In fact it is a rather strange piece of software - it doesn't seem to exist on its own (not as part of production suite anyway).
This would be a work-around for sure if you could tell me how to do it??
UPDATE
FOr anyone else with this problem you can force ps6 to open all tiffs in ACR with a setting in preferences in RAW - automatically open all tiffs. It is still a bit of a pain as i dont really want to automatically open them all, but hey!

I keep getting 'camera raw editing now enabled, camera raw requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature' i have run photoshop and the mini bridge in photoshop and it works. camera raw in bridge itself keeps giv

Thank you

Details, please. Platform, exact version of Photoshop and of your OS, what trouble shooting steps you've taken so far, etc,
First thing to try, if it had worked before, is to Purge the Cache in Bridge.

HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
Many thanks Pitt.

For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC. Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version 6.7
