TIF in Camera Raw?

I want to open a .TIF file in Camera Raw. I thought I asked this question in a prior post, but I didn't get an answer.
Any suggestions?

This may work:
1. File: Open
2. Browse to file and select
3. In Format in lower left of dialog, change from tif to Camera Raw
4. Open
Let me know if this doesn't work.

Photoshop tif won't open in Photoshop; launches Camera Raw plugin window

We recently upgraded from Creative Suite 1 to Creative Suite 3 (with Mac OS 10.5.4). I am trying to open a tif file that was saved out of Photoshop CS1, and it keeps launching the Camera Raw plugin window instead. I've tried saving as an EPS, then opening the EPS and re-saving as a tif. Doesn't help. I don't want to process this tif through Camera Raw each time it's opened!
Other images from the same photoshoot and saved in the same manner are fine (the tifs open in Photoshop as they should).
Is this a feature or a bug?
Thank you

So why is it happening with only 1 out of 8 tifs from a single campaign that were all treated in the same manner (digital shots that were opened through Camera Raw plugin, manipulated in Photoshop and a layered PSD file saved, then flattened tif files generated)? The other 7 flattened tifs open directly into Photoshop without launching Camera Raw plugin.
And I can't find a preference that affects it. If it is "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for supported raw files", I have it unchecked.
Any other suggestions?

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?

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...

How to open a jpg file in camera raw in Photoshop CC (2014)?

I know i can do it via bridge but do i also have some option than using bridge?

You can open a jpeg or tif into camera raw from photoshop by using:
File>Open As>Camera Raw (windows)
File>Open and change the Format to Camera Raw (mac)
You can also open any open document into the camera raw filter
Filter>Camera Raw Filter
If you want all jpegs or tifs to always open in camera raw, you can go to Photoshop(Edit)>Preferences>Camera Raw
and set Jpeg and Tiff handling to Automatically Open All

Cannot open PSD or TIFF files in Camera Raw

I made a picture in HRD Pro, and i want to work on it. I saved it as a .psd and also as a .tif, but I cannot open nor the .psd, nor the .tif in Camera Raw? If I save it as a .Jpg I already lose quality..?

PSD files in Camera Raw:
1.— Stay the heck away from Bridge!
2.— Instead of right-clicking on anything, go to Photoshop's File menu and Select the Open menu item.
In the dialog box that opens, find your PSD file, select it, then go down to the bottom of the box and select Camera Raw in the dropdown menu next to Format:
TIFF files in Camera Raw:
Just make sure to enable TIFF support in Camera Raw Preferences, then open it like you open any JPEG or raw file:

After installing cs4, camera raw no longer available in cs3

New computer, mac pro 2.8, 10.6.6. On previous and other macs I work on, I'm able to open jpgs and tifs in camera raw with the cs3 or cs4 bridge. Have current versions of camera raw for each app, but cs3 bridge no longer has options for opening jpgs, tifs, or dng files in camera raw. I still have prefs for camera raw in cs3 bridge. Do I need to build new cache for cs3 alone? Have newest DNG converter, would this have screwed up my cs 3? Any ideas?

Actually fixed major problem by purging cache, except dng files that I could open before in cs3, now only recognizable in cs4. Things could be worse, I suppose.

Tif won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor

Photo tif file won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor from Adobe Bridge - but it will open into Photoshop. Seems tifs WILL open into raw editor IF they have not been edited in Adobe Photoshop. Its like working on the tif in Photoshop makes the file un-openable in raw editor. This seems to be a new problem since I upgraded from cs4 on a PC to cs5 on a Mac.

Thanks for that tip, Jeff, I appreciate it!

In camera raw how large should I open my raw file before converting it to a TIF file?

in camera raw how large should I open my raw file before converting it to a TIF file---2736 x 3648 (10.0 MP), 3072x4096 (12.7 MP) or 3840x5120? (19.7 MP). I want a sharp TIF file. I'm shooting with an Olympus E-510, 10.0 MP camera?
thanks - Ken

There is no advantage to saving or opening other than at the native resolution.
Actually, not entirely true. In the case of Fuji DSLR's you would do better to double the rez in Camera Raw as that matches the interpolation that the Fuji software does in their higher quoted "effective resolutions"(it ain't real resolution mind you but it can benefit certain image types).
If you know for an absolute fact you need more resolution than the native file has, you really might want to test upsampling in Camera Raw as it has a newly tuned upsample (put in in ACR 5.2) that is an adaptive Bicubic algorithm that is either the normal Bicubic or Bicubic Smoother depending on the size–and that's something even Photoshop can't do.
But in general unless you know for a fact you need the image bigger (or have a Fuji camera) processing at the file's native size is the most efficient.

How do I open my TIF file into Camera Raw from Bridge?

Trying to follow a tutorial on editing an HDR image in photoshop. When instructed to open the TIF image into Camera Raw from Bridge, I don't get the option when I right click. What is going on here?

I was talking about an advanced action, which is not loaded externally but executed on runtime (will be translated to AS). So this will only work if you can pass the value of the variable containing the slide number you want to the SWF. For that you'll need JavaScript and I'm not that acquainted with JS. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's blog:
http://captivatedev.com/series/captivate-javascript-series/
In Captivate you create an advanced action to be triggered on entering the first slide, that will jump to the wanted slide number. If you can figure out how to pass the slide number, could help with the advanced action, I know them rather well:

Scanner tif files opening in Camera Raw

With CS3 installed, some of my scanner generated tif files from an Imacon
scanner are now opening in Camera Raw window of PS CS3.
Windows XP SP2
Windows file type association set to Photoshop CS3 for tif files.
Using Windows explorer, choosing to open the tif file in CS2 works fine,
file opens directly in PS CS2.
Using Windows explorer, choosing to open in CS3 opens the same file in ACR
and then in PS CS3.
David

David,
Im glad you opened this thread. Im having the opposite problem. I have a scanner TIF image (sent to me by someone else) that we want to open in ACR. He had already opened it in CS3 ACR4 before sending it. I just installed CS3 today.
I tested this file at a local camera store yesterday and it behaved as I expected. That is, I could open in PS or ACR as desired via the fly-out menus. But after installing CS3 on my own machine, I could not (Camera Raw options grayed out). I checked with another local user. Same problems.
Then after reading this thread and purging the folder cache things started working, as I wanted them at least. I would assume the folder cache came from CS2.
So my question how does this really work? I will want to selectively use it in the future. If I look at the metadata for a NEF image is see camera data (exif) and camera raw data as expected. But I see neither for this image. And I would not expect a scanner to be embedding raw settings unless it truly supports a raw format.
When I tweak a few ACR settings and click done, the file is updated but no XMP sidecar file is created. I can now see camera raw settings in the metadata panels. This is not what I would expect. And I cant find any camera raw settings in the Photoshop file info panels for either file.
So, how do I control this behavior for future TIF images? Will I have to purge folder cache if it was created with CS2?
Cheers, Rags :-)

Using Photoshop CC I cannot save images to folder from Camera Raw as Tif. I get message 'write permission error'. I am using Widows 7 Professional.

I have just changed to Photoshop CC from CS4 and cannot now save images from Camera Raw. I get message 'write permission error'. I assume there is some permissions setting which did not exist with CS4.
I cannot progress unless I revert to CS4. What am I failing to do?

See if the suggestions, here, help, although this was back with CS6-cloud, not CC, so may not apply 100%:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4758115
I'd suggest that rather than deleting the file, you move it out of the folder to somewhere else, in case things get worse and you need to put it back.
I found this by Googling the error message.
If you can't figure it out, you might post in the "Downloading, Installing and Set Up" or "Adobe Creative Cloud" forums since it seems to be related to the Cloud updates, and not necessarily ACR plug-in functionality, and I've seen India support people actually tackle problems posted there, which rarely happens in the ACR forum, although an ACR engineer may sometimes pop in to answer questions, they'd be less likely to know how to fix deployment issues.

Cannot open some tif files in camera raw

When I try to open my scanned tiffs (Coolscan 9000, Silverfast) with camera raw I get this option only with some of those files. With others it is not even greyed out it just isn't there. So far I have not discovered any regularity about this. I does not have to do with file size, because I have this problem with large and with small files. I don't batch scan. I set all the requested preferences in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop and purged the cache several times. Camera Raw must be installed properly because there is a number of tiff files that I can open without a problem. If I try one of those files that won't open from Photoshop instead (via "open as" Raw) I get a "program error". Does anybody have an idea? I have searched the forums but so far I have not found an answer.

Gabriele and Ann,
After some helpful input from Julie Manley at Adobe (in response to my email) and a little trial-and-error on my part, I AM NOW ABLE, FROM WITHIN BRIDGE, TO OPEN ALL MY TIFF AND JPEG (AND .CRW RAW) IMAGES IN ACR 4.1 and, at my choice, with ACR hosted either by Bridge 2.1 or Photoshop CS3. In case it may assist you or others, the steps I took are set out below.
1. Start by clearing/unchecking/turning-OFF all options in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop preferences which in any way relate to using or preferring Camera Raw for opening or editing JPEG, TIFF or RAW files. There are 2 relevant Tabs in Bridge (General (1 checkbox under Behavior) and Thumbnails (1 checkbox under Performance and File Handling)). Camera Raw has 2 relevant checkboxes (under JPEG and TIFF Handling) at the bottom of its single page of preferences. There is one relevant Tab in Photoshop (File Handling - in which you must clear 2 checkboxes under File Compatibility).
2. Close Photoshop and Bridge. Restart Photoshop.
3. Restart Bridge by holding down the CTRL key while double-clicking on its shortcut or the executable file itself. You will be presented with the Reset dialog displaying 3 checkboxes called: Reset preferences to factory settings, Purge entire thumbnail cache, and Reset to default Workspace. Tick all 3 boxes and continue with loading Bridge.
4. On my system, step 3 did not work first time around. So I closed Bridge and repeated step 3. The second time around it did work, and the option "Open in Camera Raw... CTRL + R" was re-enabled in the File Menu of Bridge and in the the right-click menu of the mouse (previously it had been greyed-out). Examination of the Preferences for Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop revealed that the only change in all 3 occured in the Bridge/Preferences/Thumbnails Tab, where the checkbox for "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF Files" was now ticked/turned-ON.
5. Steps 1 to 4 above resulted in the following functionality on my system:
(a) Selecting a JPEG, TIFF or RAW thumbnail in Bridge and pressing CTRL+R opens the file in ACR hosted by Bridge.
(b) Selecting a JPEG, TIFF or RAW thumbnail in Bridge and pressing CTRL+O opens the file in ACR hosted by Photoshop.
(c) Right clicking on a JPEG, TIFF or RAW thumbnail in Bridge and choosing "Open in Camera Raw" opens the file in ACR hosted by Bridge.
(d) Using the File Menu and choosing "Open in Camera Raw" obviously has the same result as (c).
(e) The best bit: Double-clicking a JPEG or TIFF thumbnail in Bridge opens the file directly in Photoshop.
(f) Double-clicking a RAW thumbnail in Bridge opens the file in ACR hosted by Photoshop.
(g) Shift + double-clicking a RAW thumbnail in Bridge opens the RAW file directly in Photoshop, by-passing ACR, and (as I understand it) by default converting the RAW file to a TIFF "on-the-fly" - although the file keeps the RAW file extension (.CRW or whatever) until you save it from within Photoshop.
6. This functionality suits me just fine, at least at the moment, as I do most of my editing of JPEG and TIFF images in Photoshop rather than ACR because Photoshop offers local editing as opposed to ACR's global-only editing. Interestingly, at least for Gabriele and Ann, something like 90% of my current work-in-progress consists of editing 16-bit TIFF scans of 35mm slides done with the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 using NikonScan software. But every now and then, though I suppose it is really on a regular basis, I like to contrast my Photoshop results with what can be achieved in ACR - particularly with respect to White Balance and the group of Exposure controls, where ACR is really very good.
7. If your emphasis/workflow is based more on using ACR for JPEG and TIFF editing rather than Photoshop, however, and you would prefer to have JPEG and TIFF images open automatically in ACR (hosted by Bridge) upon double-clicking their thumbnails, then that can be achieved easily by adding 1 more entry to the Bridge Preferences. In the General Tab, tick the checkbox for "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge". This is a little misleading because it actually opens all RAW files in ACR (hosted by Bridge), whether or not they have had any previous Camera Raw settings applied to and saved with them.
8. No doubt, in true Photoshop tradition where you can get to a result by many different paths, there are other combinations of preferences in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop regarding JPEG and TIFF file handling which produce the same or similar functionality to that set out in 5(a) to 5(g) above, but I have not stumbled upon, and am not in the least interested in looking for, them. What I now have finally works. Yipee!

Tif merge to HDR camera raw

I just created a 32bit TIF from three raw files using Merge to HDR from Bridge - no other changes applied.
The resulting save as TIF file cannot be opened (no menu item to allow it in bridge) in ACR.
If I take just one of the original raw files and convert it to a 32bit TIF, I CAN open that file in ACR.
Anyone else with this issue in Photoshop CC 2014?
Thanks
R

BTW I meant to add that the same file which is unrecognized for ACR open in Bridge CC does open in Lightroom 5.7.1

Opening tiff photos in Adobe Camera Raw

I can not open my tiff files / photos in Adobe Camera Raw. I am using CS6 that has been completely updated with all the current updates. I go to Bridge, highlight a tiff thumbnail photo and go up the file drop down menu. The open in raw selection is grayed out and I can not select it. It works fine with jpeg files, and I can open raw files without problems. It just won't work with tiff files. I have gone to preferences and selected the option to open all supported tiff flles but this did not work either.
I have uninstalled Photoshop and Bridge and reinstalled it and updated it all again and it still will not let me open tiff files in Camera Raw.
Any ideas?

I am more apt to beleive the issue is with the tif files themselves. Not all tif files are equal. It depends on the compression, bit mode and so forth. Can the tiff files be opened in photoshop? if so, then that just maybe the problem. if not, then the file itself maybe corrupt. But I am leaning towards the settings used when saving the file.

GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

Hey Everyone,
I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6. I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw. Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence. The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
          - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
          - save those as TIF files
          - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
          - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
          - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
          - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied. If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects. It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects. Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all. I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions. I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG. I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw). I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files. (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)? I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8. I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings. As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while. I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete. Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)? If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?
