"Upright" Content Awareness in Camera Raw 8 / Photoshop CC

One of the new features in Camera Raw 8, which will ship with Photoshop CC, is the ability for the software to "see" converging lines in your image and try to straighten things up for you, compensating for perspective issues / wide angle lenses, etc.
It offers various choices, including an "Automatic" mode that almost always makes distorted things look better without taking the corrections to extremes.  It actually works pretty well.  Some screen grabs to illustrate...
A photo taken with an extreme wide angle lens in a hotel.
Off: As shot, with no correction
Auto:  Balanced perspective correction to make things look better without going to extremes.
Vertical:  Make all converging lines absolutely vertical, even to the point where the image does not fit within the frame.  Note that the Transform controls can be used to make it fit at the loss of more of the image.  Also note that if it doesn't fit, the image is opened as a layer with transparency in the place where we see the checkered background in the preview, so conceivably you could use Content Aware Fill or cloning to fill it in.
Some additional examples...
As shot:
Auto:
Horizontal only:
Vertical Only:
Vertical with some added distortion to fit the frame:
Full Horizontal and Vertical:
Horizontal and Vertical, plus negative scaling so you can easily see how the image has been distorted:
I toyed with the idea of making the [A] (Auto) my Camera Raw default, and that has merit as it really does improve most photos.  It will, for example, level most horizons (especially water).  But in the end I chose to leave it off and just know it's there so that if I have a troublesome image I can get a quick correction by clicking one of the buttons.
I'd say this feature is pretty slick.

  • How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

    How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

    In what way is ACR not working in Bridge?  Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue? 
    Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
    You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

  • Canon 70D et Camera Raw (Photoshop CS5)

    J'ai acheté un canon EOS 70D. Je n'arrive pas à utiliser Camera Raw (Photoshop CS5) avec cet appareil. Can you help me ?

    Photoshop CS5 is not going to be able to directly open your raw files.
    Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS5 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    To double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Since your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Camera Raw, Photoshop CS2 and Nikon D40

    Can't open camera raw images from my Nikon D40 in Photoshop CS2.
    I downloaded the camera raw plug-in (3.7) but still cannot open the images.
    Many problems:
    1) I don't have the folder described in the instructions Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-ins>CS2?File Formats. My plug-ins are located inside my Photoshop folder. Even after I put the camera raw 3.7 in the plug-ins folder, it doesn't show up under "About Plug-ins."
    2) I don't have an NEF plug-in anywhere. I searched the places mentioned in forums as well as a my entire computer.
    Help!

    Just one note of clarification that you need to understand. You do NOT have to match the version of the DNG converter with your version of Photoshop. You always want to use the latest version of the DNG converter. It will convert images from all of the most recent cameras that ACR supports. So, currently (as of today) you want to be using DNG converter version 4.4.1. It will create DNG files that will be compatible with any version of ACR back to version 2.4 which works with Photoshop CS.
    The other thing to verify is what version of Camera Raw is installed on your computer. You want to make sure you are using version 3.7, because that is the last version that was created for Photoshop CS2. If you are using a Windows computer, open Photoshop and then go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw. It should only be listed once; if it is listed more than once you have a problem. A dialog will appear that will indicate what version is installed. If it is anything other than ACR 3.7, then you don't have the latest version available.
    Be aware that there will never be another update of ACR for Photoshop CS2. But if you keep track of the updates and always keep the latest version of the DNG converter on your computer you will have support for every camera that is supported by ACR.
    I don't know if any of this information is helpful to you. I just want to help you understand how to integrate DNG files into your workflow.

  • Where is Content-Aware Age Tool in Photoshop CS6?

    Was it suppose to be in the final release of Photoshop CS6? 
    If you go to this link http://www.practicalphotoshopmag.com/2012/04/01/photoshop-cs6-to-feature-content-aware-age -tool/
    It states it was on beta version of Photoshop CS6 but no one have a video of it.  Or maybe it was for future release like CS6.1 or CS7.  I hope Adobe can add this useful feature on final version of CS6.

    Yeah, and what about the "Clooning" and "Helen" tools mentioned in the same article?!?!?!
    No "Clooning" and "Helen" tools, no upgrade for me matey!!!

  • Camera Raw Photoshop CS2 & Bridge Parsing Problem

    I am having an issue with Photoshop CS2. I am trying to work on a .tiff file that I have used the HDR automate tool from. The HDR renders files in 32-bit and therefor I render back to 16-bit once I have compressed the files and save as a .tiff file.
    I then use bridge to try and open the .tiff file and the camera raw file is shaded grey. I also have tried opening in PS CS2 and this message comes up when I try and force Camera Raw to Open..."Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    PS will open the tiff file on a compressed version and not in the Camera Raw Function.
    I have read numerous posts on this kind of problem and people say to update your camera raw plu-in and I have done that and am having the same problem.
    Any suggestions I would very much appreciate it.

    Hi Patrick,
    You need CR 4.x and Ps CS3 in order to open non-camera raw TIFFs.

  • Lightroom / Camera Raw / Photoshop issues

    I have a workflow problem that's driving me nuts, so I'm hoping someone can help. I organize my photos in Lightroom and do most of my editing in Photoshop CS6. The problem I'm having is that if I select a photo in LR, then work on it in Photoshop, I can't figure out any way to incorporate Adobe Camera Raw into that process. I can open the photos in Raw via Bridge, then process and reopen them in Photoshop, but when I save them, Lightroom doesn't find or recognize them. So what's the workflow to process photos in Camera Raw, then Photoshop, while still having Lightroom recognize them and know where they are?

    I agree, the best answers are in the previous replies to the OP.  Use Lightroom.!
    As an alternative-
    If you open a RAW image into Photoshop by a Right-click and select- "Edit In" then "Open as Smart Object in Photoshop"  you will have the image open as a background layer in Photoshop with the small corner "smart object" icon.  If you then Double-left-click on the PS layer thumbnail this will re-open the image in  ACR  linked to Photoshop (not Lightroom).  This allows you to have created many extra adjustment layers in PS but always go back to ACR if you save the edited image as PSD or TIFF with layers. This is 'Non-destructive' re-editing of the background layer.

  • Cannot open jpeg in camera raw photoshop cc

    I can open the jpeg file in photoshop cc and in bridge. If I try to open in photoshop cc using open as (windows 7 32 bit) I get an error message "Could not complete your request because the file-format cannot parse the file" when I select camera raw. If I open the jpeg directly in photoshop cc, the file opens ok and then I can use camera raw thru filters. The file will open fine in camera raw via bridge.  This same jpeg file opens fine in camera raw using phtoshop cs6.
    thanks
    Denis

    I am experiencing this same problem. The file was created by xray software. It opens with Windows Photo just fine. This problem was never answered for DenisL111. Why is that?

  • Camera RAW, Photoshop CS, Nikon D50

    I have Photoshop CS (not CS1 or 2 or 3, just CS; i.e. v. 8.0) and my camera is a Nikon D50. I have tried installing the Adobe Camera RAW plug-in, versions 2.0 and 2.3, but if I try to open a RAW image from my camera (i.e. in NEF format), I get an error message: 'not the right kind of document'. Can anyone please advise?

    I'm afraid I have a new question. With the Adobe DNG converter (v. 5.3) and ACR 2.4, I can now open .NEF files from my Nikon D50 camera in Photoshop CS (v.8.0) and make adjustments to exposure, contrast, etc. But I have a problem with image size. As soon as I convert the RAW (.NEF) file to .dng, it becomes very large, and if I open it in PS and save it, it becomes huge. Here is an example, starting with a particular .NEF file straight from my camera:
    .NEF: 5.4 MB
    .dng: 11.9 MB
    Saved in PS as:
    .raw: 34.5 MB
    .psd: 34.5 MB
    .tif: 34.5 MB
    It seems that I cannot save the image in any of these formats as a JPEG in PS.
    At that rate, I shall rapidly run out of hard disk space, and even if I get images off my hard disk by burning them to CD, I should only be able to store about 20 photographs on one CD.
    It seems that I cannot save a converted image as a JPEG in PS itself, but if I use GraphicConverter to convert the image, saved in one of the formats discussed above, to JPEG at maximum quality, it reduces to 4.2 MB. Is this my only solution to being able to store a reasonable number of photos? It seems rather cumbersome. I should be most grateful for information as to why the file gets so big, and what I can do about it.

  • Problem with Viewing Camera Raw/Photoshop Edited Files in Microsoft Applications

    Hi
    When I edit my portraits in Camera Raw or Photoshop and save as sRGB JPEGS they all look fine when viewed in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop.
    If I view the portraits in Microsoft Picture Viewer or create a web age of the portraits within Photoshop and view in Internet Explorer, all images look over saturated (particularly the reds) and all the portraits look like they are flushed, blushing, over heated and glowing!
    Unfortunately, most people I email, send images to, or post them on the web, will be viewing them in a Microsoft application and therefore they do not appear how they should do with the reds over saturated.
    Does anone have a solution to this that is not hit and miss. I do not see the point of investing in CS3 and a professional monitor if my editing looks nothing like the output. Any information would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks

    This isn't a Camera Raw issue...it's something you should post on the Photoshop or Color Management forums...I note you have posted on the Ps Windows forum and already received an answer (from a Photoshop engineer no less).

  • Camera RAW/Photoshop still deficient

    These "Do it now" items remain:
    • Camera RAW still does not have the same crop overlays as both Photoshop and Lightroom (e.g., Golden Spiral, Triangle, etc.)
    • Photoshop still has a broken Focus Stacker (Edit Menu: Auto Blend: Stack)
    • Bridge AOM (Adobe Output Module) still lacks CSS3/HTML5 slideshow scripts (Flash DOA)
    • Glitchy screen redraws often don't update live brush size
    • Boolean feature would greatly improve searches

  • Lumix G6 Camera Raw Photoshop Elements 11

    Mein Photoshop Elements 11 kann keine Raw Daten der Lumix G6 lesen. Was muß ich tun

    Laut der Liste Camera Raw-Zusatzmodul | Unterstützte Kameras brauchst du das Camera Raw 8.1. Das ist leider nicht mit Photoshop Elements 11 nicht kompatibel. Du kannst einfach den DNG Converter nutzten:
    Mac: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    Win: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    Damit kannst du die Camera Raw Bilder umwandeln in ein Format, was dein Elements 11 lesen kann. Musst es nur im DNG Converter Programm einstellen. Mann muss nicht zwingend ein Upgrade kaufen.

  • Photoshop to Camera Raw in Bridge

    I am TRYING to work with Iphoto, Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw in Bridge.  I have set Photoshop CS5 as my external editor in Iphoto.  I double click on photo (jpg) and it opens in Photoshop.  I need to take the photo (jpg) from Photoshop to Camera Raw in the Bridge.  How do I do this?  OR is there a way to go directly from Iphoto to Camera Raw in the Bridge?  If by some miracle I can find my photo when in Bridge (iphoto makes finding a photo VERY difficult) when I make changes in Camera Raw they do NOT register in Iphoto.  Without all the detail, I want my edited photos (camera raw/photoshop) to show up EDITED in iPhoto.  Help!

    iPhoto is cr@p.  At the very least, you have to admit that it doesn't play nice with any other graphics application.  Dump it.
    Now, Bridge is a 32-bit application, so when you have Bridge host Camera Raw, Camera Raw also runs in 32 bits.  In contrast, and even though it is the very same plug-in, Camera Raw runs in 64 bits when hosted by Photoshop.
    To find your actual image(s) in the Finder, which the crappy iPhoto hides in libraries, you need to highlight said library in the Finder and Control-click (or Right-click) on the icon, then select Show Package Contents in the contextual menu.  Then navigate in the Contents of that package until you find your original and drag it out of there to a sensible place where Bridge can see it.
    Again, dump iPhoto.  My ¢2.
