Trouble with Adobe Camera Raw, Nikon D750, Photoshop CC 2014

I have Photoshop CC 2014 running on an HP ZBook 15 with Windows 7 Professional. I recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.7.311. I did not install the DNG converter. I shoot raw in my Nikon D750. I download the NEF images to my HP laptop using a memory card reader. I installed Bridge from Creative Cloud. When I check in Photoshop CC 2014, it says the Camera Raw 8.7.1.311 plug-in is present. But if I try to open a NEF image, it fails and says it is an unsupported file type. When I go into Bridge, the "Open using Camera Raw" option is faded and cannot be selected. So what do I do? TIA, Rob

Success! My problem was I had the old version of the Nikon software on my computer and I had used that to download the photos. I copied the NEF files directly from my memory card reader and then could open them no problem in Photoshop CC 2014. Many thanks to gener7 and all who made suggestions.

Trouble with Adobe Camera Raw

I have started to use ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) for making changes to my photos before opening them up properly in Photoshop, and I have 2 quick questions:
1. The Photoshop guide I'm reading says that in the White Balance section of the 'Basic' tab (on the right of the big preview image), that I should be able to choose from pre-set white balance settings such as Cloudy, Sunny Day, Flash, Fluorescent etc.
However the only options that are available for me are 'Auto, As Shot and Custom'. Am I doing something wrong?
2. In the main preview box, some of my photos load up with a funny blue outline around the image. Is there a reason for this?
Thanks for your help!
Alex

1) Those options are only available when working with raw files. When working with JPEG's you get only As Shot, Auto and Custom, it's a trade-off for lower filesize.
2) that blue color indicates that you have clipping in those areas. You can turn it on/off by clicking on the icons with a triangle in them from the top of the histogram

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100. Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass? When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening. If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS. I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
Thanks for ideas.

This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7

Is it still possible to purchase the Adobe Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop 7?
If so, can the plugin read *.raw files from an Olympus C-8080?

HI mattscreative,
Yes I've installed that but that imports .orf files and my camera saves .raw files.
Thanks,
Mike

How to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw

I know it is possible to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw using Bridge but is it possible to do this using PSE7? Thanks.

Yes. In the editor, File>Open As, and choose camera raw as the format. John Ellis also has a script for doing this directly from the organizer, but I don't have the link right at the moment. Hopefully he'll be along with it sooner or later.

I have a beta version of Adobe Camera Raw 8.6 that expired 2014-8-31. How do I find the latest version of Camera Raw?

Problem with Adobe Camera Raw

Hi all, I hope someone can shed some light on this; I've been going round in circles with all sorts trying to get Adobe Camera Raw to function on someone's laptop.
It will not recognise that he wants to open a Raw file (.cr2) into photoshop and doesn't recognise the file type.
The setup is as follows:
Win7 Professional
Photoshop CS3
Digital Photo Professional 3.5.2.0
Canon Eos 5D MkII (firmware 1.0.7)
When I go to Help > About Plugin, there are two "Camera Raw" occurences; one has version 4.6.0.30. The 2nd says "operation could not be completed. class already exists".
I've tried numerous times to update Photoshop, but every time there is an error saying there's no internet connection. I've checked and checked again and I'm 100% certain that there is no firewall software that might be blocking it somehow. The laptop is otherwise on the internet fine.
It's becoming quite a problem as we don't have the exposure and other raw format controls to adjust. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled both the Canon camera software and Photoshop.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Don't know why you do not have a internet connection. My guess is the you are running off a router with a firewall. Some websites do not like double firewalls. Try turning off Windows 7 firewall and re-download.
The free DNG converter on the Adobe download site should help you with opening the RAW file. I am thinking the camera is newer then what PS CS3 RAW supports.

Images looks darker in Adobe Camera Raw than in Photoshop

when I open a raw image in adobe camera raw at 16 bit Adobe RGB and don't make any adjustments in acr when I then bring it into Photoshop is looks softer contrast and lighter.

I think I solved it. Every place I could change to Adobe RGB I did
Er...I don't really think that solves anything. But you may succeed in temporarily hiding the problem.
You do have PS color management policies at "preserve embedded profiles", right? As long as you do, there's no particular need to synchronize PS / ACR / Lr color settings, any source profile should be honored anywhere.
The reason Adobe RGB works as monitor profile is because it's a known good, not corrupt, profile - not because it's the same as a document profile somewhere. Those two are not supposed to be the same. But for a wide gamut monitor it's close enough to work for diagnostic purposes.
NEC Spectraview is a solid and reliable calibrator. But that doesn't help if the OS doesn't load the profile correctly.
One gotcha with Spectraview (and Eizo Colornavigator) is that it's so easy to switch calibration target and the associated monitor profile. That's fine, but you also need to relaunch any color managed application that happens to use the monitor profile. That profile is loaded by the application at startup, and it will continue to use it even if it's changed at system level.

HT6114 mac os 10.9.2 update conflict with adobe camera raw ?

All of a sudden Adobe camera raw won't convert either raw Canon or Leica files. Keep getting the error code to re-install CS6, but that does not solve it.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5955
Look for the update name and Google the update name together with support.apple.com/DL to get the one referring to your camera, and make sure the system requirements list 10.9 or later. If they only say 10.6.8 or earlier, they will not necessarily work, since Apple got rid of Rosetta.
If you are stuck on 10.6.8 or earlier based RAW, it may pay to do one of the following:
1. Install Parallels with 10.6.8 Server. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6841
2. Install Windows with the supported RAW using a virtualization software. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
3. Install your prior operating system onto a USB Flash drive, and boot off that. Given 10.9's security issues prior to 10.9.2,
and your Mac's minimum operating system was 10.8.2, you may need to contact Apple Support to get the Mac App Store give you your system specific 10.8.2 download, so you can apply 10.8.5 combo and its security update if it was working on your Mac with 10.8:
10.8.5 combo
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1737- security update for 10.8.5.
4. Switch to a compatible camera with 10.9 or later.
Updating to 10.9, you should be prepared for the following:

Does PSE 10 support and is it compatible with Adobe Camera Raw Process 2012?

I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 but am still using Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer to manage my collection. It appears that the new Process 2012 that is available with the Camera Raw processor is not supported by PSE 8 and in fact PSE 8 changes (as best it can) the adjustments back to Process 2010 if I add a caption to a photo in the Organizer. This also happens if I write properties and tags to to the image file. Does PSE 10 support Process 2012?

Bill Junk -- your entire set of comments seems to be way off topic, but I'll address them anyway. If you want to continue this discussion about LR, you should really start a new thread (and probably in the LR forum)
Has Lightroom 4 made any fundamental changes in the way they let you organize, tag, and manage files in your collection?
There are minor changes to the Library Module in LR4, but nothing major.
My complaint about LR 3 is that it seems to flatten my image tagging structure when I import catalog data from PSE.
This would happen because you are doing it wrong. If you upgrade the PSE catalog to a LR catalog, your tag structure/hierarchy remains intact.
I have a very nice and organized file structure for maintaining my collection and don't like relying on a database to keep track of everything.
But the tags in PSE are in a database. Your folder hierarchy is really a database in your operating system.
If the Lightroom DB every goes belly up I suspect that years of adding entries would be lost.
There are so many misconceptions about LR. I have no idea how this gets started, but this isn't true. There are simple ways to prevent this from happening.
Suppose your Windows (or Mac) folders (which are a really a database in your operating system) get corrupted. Suppose your hard disk fails. Then what would you do?
The way I'm currently organized and having key information stored in the image files I can usually find what I want quickly using something as simple as Windows Explorer.
Lightroom has this capability too.

No option to open JPEGs with Adobe Camera Raw

I am not able to open jpg files into Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge or anywhere else for that matter. There is simply no option available in File to open in ACR (there's nothing that's even greyed out). Ctrl+R does nothing also. I just installed CS3 so I thought maybe it was an ACR 4.1 issue and downloaded ACR 4.2 to no avail. It will automatically open my CR2 images into ACR from Bridge.
Any ideas?

> I think I must be really dense because I don't see any bridge menu > camera raw preferences.
Lindsay,
You are not dense at all. That has been reported before. There are two possibilities:
1. You have Camera Raw installed in the wrong place or improperly (like not having removed the old ACR version); or
2.You have a bad install of Bridge (and possibly Photoshop). Before going any farther, what platform are you on, Macintosh or Windows?
I suspect Windows, since you mention "Ctrl-R". If that's the case, I'll let a Windozer help you.
If you're on a Mac, I can help guide you.

Has anyone encountered this error message with Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in?

Ever since I installed the Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in for Elements 8 I get the following error message when I launch Editor:
"The Application or DLL C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8 \File Formats\Win 64\Camera Raw. 8 bi is not a valid Windows Image. Please check this against your installation diskette"
(As I downloaded the plug-in I don't have the option of checking against the installation diskette as the error message suggests.)
If I click OK on the error message the launch process re-commences and Editor eventually opens and operates effectively.
Does anyone have a suggestion about how I might remove this error message? Alternatively, do I run a risk by continuing to simply ignore the error message?
Thanks
Kinyo Jim

Delete the camera raw 8bi file from the File Formats folder.
Download ACR 6.2 and extract the files.
Drag the camera raw 8bi file from the download extract folder into the File formats folder.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move the plug-in file from the unzipped download folder by navigating to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\

Is editing in Photoshop with Adobe camera RAW the same as editing in Lightroom?

Hi,
I have been learning to use LIghtroom, and I am now reasonably comfortable with it. I shoot in RAW, and do my import, organizing and editing in Lightroom. My next goal is to start learning to use Photoshop (which looks like a much bigger leap than just Lightroom !).
My question is this: from all my online reading and watching videos, it seems that some people edit mainly in Lightroom and work on photos in Photoshop when needed, whereas some people like to work mainly in Photoshop. If the original RAW photo is imported into Photoshop, I believe it first opens in Camera RAW, and the editing tools there seem almost identical to Lightroom. Is that the case? In other words, is editing in Camera RAW (within Photoshop) essentially the same as editing the RAW photo in Lightroom? Any advantages to doing it in Camera RAW?
thanks,
Neil

Adobe Camera Raw VS. Photoshop?

When should you use Camera Raw for white balancing and other image adjustments vs. Photoshop. Besides working with raw camera format images, are there things that ACR does better than PS?
Thanks.

I am of a mind with D Fosse on this one. Make it look right initially in ACR then make it right in Photoshop.
You might find there are those who seem adamant about doing virtually EVERYTHING in Camera Raw, but that seems flawed to me, because it virtually ignores the power of Photoshop proper - and make no mistake, there's real power there.
You should know that I experimented quite heavily for days to determine what all the sliders do and to finally choose a set of ACR defaults I can live with as a starting point - knowing that even with that set of defaults I'll be adjusting sliders in the ACR dialog for individual images.
Note that the 2010 process in ACR does not embody as much noise reduction by default as the previous 2003 process did. Don't be surprised if you end up dialing-in quite a bit more of it in the converter than you thought you might. And it's not simple; the results don't depend on just one slider, but a combination of several noise reduction and detail sliders. Tricky stuff to say the least, but it is conquerable.
I don't think there's any shortcut for experimenting then looking critically at the results. I found experimentation when I was getting close to the settings I wanted that went all the way through to creation of my various needed results (e.g., web images and prints) was helpful. In other words, when you have things where you think you like them, actually TRY making whatever products you like from your raw files - including making the color and exposure corrections you would normally do, sharpening, etc., and actually making prints or whatever. Then you'll know what to expect when you're on the hot seat to produce.
