When is a tiff not a tiff in Camera RAW?

I have a big scanning job in b&w and have been going along well. I save to tiff, it opens in Camea raw where I have some global settings. After taking a break, I go back and now the new scans don't open in Camera raw. Only in PS. I go back and check. Yep, the earlier ones still open, even after PS corrections.
This is CS3 on XP.
So I move to CS3 on Win 7. Now, none will open in RAW. I check and recheck everything and nothing has changed. Go back to XP and same behavior.
So when and how is a tiff not a tiff?
Cavalier behavior is barely tolerable in humans, but computers?

I've run both CS4 and 3 Jeff. I don't see any difference from the pov of simplicity.
Pray, explain how simply taking a walk then continuing my work would qualify as an operator issue? Unless there is a subterranean view of RAW not apparent and that in coming back to work or setting up CS3 in Win7 I have transgressed certain conditions, I am at a loss to explain.
I also have a problem with Bridge suddenly losing file associations, so I immediately thought to re-install CS3. The Bridge problem showed up when I uninstalled CS4. However, I have CS3 installed on a fresh install of Win7, which shows no ability to open any of the same files in ACR. I very carefully went over every detail in Bridge and PS prefs. They are identical to XP.
So, somehow, these tiff files, derived from a scanner, seem not to open in ACR completely in Win7 and partially in XP.
If my expectations are correct, by re-installing CS3 doing a clean script first will result in none of the scanned files opening in ACR, matching what is happening in Win7. If in fact, this is falsified, ie open in XP but not in Win7, "Houston, we have a problem"!
If you have some procedural methodology to go beyond the basic setup, I would like to hear about it.

Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW

Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW - PS 6

Sorry I'm taking to along, but I checked a few things using ACR 8.6
Saved a png as an 8 bit tiff, then to 16 bit. Changed the background layer into a floating layer, all opened in ACR.
It was when I added an adjustment layer, that it no longer opened in ACR.
Now what can I recommend? If you have Lightroom, you can Import and work on your layered tiffs that way. I hope this is a viable alternative for you, because I think ACR does have a problem with layered tiffs and I don't really know of any workaround, but you are free to explore.

What kind of TIFFs? Are they multi-layered, for instance? ACR will not open layered files.

Opening 32 bit TIFF in camera raw (or not...)

I have been following tutorials on creating HDR images in photoshop using the 32 bit function.
Once I have created the 32 bit image, and saved it as a Tiff file. I then go into bridge and made sure the preferences for camera raw are set to enable suppoprted TIFFs. However I cannot open this image through camera raw, it just opens up in photoshop...
In the turorials I have seen this does not seem to be a problem for others, why won't this work for me?

Sudarshan,
Thankyou for your reply.
I have managed to resolve this problem now. I have recently downloaded photoshop and therefore assumed it was the most up to date version. This was not however the case, as I had camera raw 7.0 installed. I have updated this to the latest version and this problem has resolved itself, I can now edit the 32-bit TIFFs in camera raw.

When I highlight photo's in bridge and then click open in camera raw this message comes up... Camera Raw Editing Is not enabled...Camera raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. I have used cam

When I highlight photo's in bridge and then click open in camera raw this message comes up... Camera Raw Editing Is not enabled...Camera raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. I have used camera raw a different way but it won't seem to work with bridge.

Have you opened Photoshop or any other Adobe app that Bridge works with? You need to do this if you've upgraded PS or just signed up for CC.

Can't open Tiff in Camera Raw CC

I have checked the Camera Raw preferences to open jpgs and tiffs in Camera Raw. I have the Bride CC preferences set to Bridge CC for jpgs and tiffs.
I c n open jpgs in Camera Raw, but I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw. I must be doing something wrong.
The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Windows file association are identical.
The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Bridge preferences are identical.
Yet, I can open jpgs in Camera Raw, and I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw.
Any suggestions?
Lynnea

Can you, from within Photoshop, choose File - Open As, then choose the TIFF file, and set the selector over on the right to Camera Raw?
I know that you'd really like to set up to open them automatically through Camera Raw, but this could serve as a workaround.

Why do my raws look different when I view them in Adobe Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw and Canons Digital P

Hello all,
I am sorta new to taking Raw photographs and I have been been using Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw to edit. When I take my photos (I am using a Canon t2i) I have it set to save a raw and a jpg. When I view these images in Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw I notice a clear difference in the jpg and raw (I understand the whole concept behind raw vs. jpg. so im not questioning why one looks different) It is obvious all the adjustments that were applied to my jpg. vs the natural raw. My question is: When I view the same two images in the software that came with my camera, canon digital photo professionals, the canon and raw look almost identical.... My assumption is that canon is applying the same "adjustments" to my raw as it did to the jpgs? Has anyone used these two programs and noticed this?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Michelle

Can't say I'm an expert on DPP myself either. I've only run it a few times myself.
If you're seeing Photoshop freeze just by looking at the File Info tab, that's certainly not expected and you should start a tread specifically to discuss that. The forum may be able to help you get that working.
I happen to like the color my camera delivers in its embedded JPEGs (which I use to quickly review shots via IrfanView). Starting with that color in Camera Raw by default just feels very natural and integrated.
Without a specific custom profile to help you with the task, here's my suggestions for the next best thing:
1. Take an image with a range of different colors in it.
2. Open the embedded JPEG also using whatever means you have to do so.
3. Open it also in Camera Raw and make sure you're using the Camera Raw default parameters.
4. Go into the Camera Calibration tab (little camera icon), and choose the Camera Standard profile as provided by Adobe.
5. Tweak the various sliders so as to match the color between what you're seeing in the JPEG and Camera Raw.
6. Save new Camera Raw defaults.
Some notes:
Make sure you leave the White Balance on As Shot, since storing a specific white balance is probably not going to be helpful.
Test your settings and repeat the above to tweak them as needed using other images.
Keep in mind that not every application does proper color-management. IrfanView can be set up to do so, and I don't recall whether you have to tweak a default setting to make it do that or not (it's been a while).
Hope this helps!

Get an Error window, The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files

I am using CS2 and it would not open up my latest RAW files, I was getting a warning Could not complete your request because it is not the right kinds of document. So, I checked the Camera Raw Plug-in and it says Version 3.7. I see that my camera an Olympus E-20 is supported. But it is not opening the Raw files, the day before I took jpeg and they have opened. I will not trash my Adobe Photoshop CS2 because it was a royal pain to install and I don't know where the CD is.
I installed the latest DNG Converter and when I try to open up the folder which has all the RAW images that didn't open in Adobe, I still get an Error window that says, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files." Why? It says it supports my Olympus E-20. I actually have the E-20n, I don't think that is the problem. My RAW icons usually show up as small image thumbnails and this time they are gray icons only with the incorrect date under the icon. Is there another product I can use without spending money? These images I took in RAW were special and I don't want to lose them. Please help!
Esther

Hello, I was using only CS2 with my Olympus E-20n for 5 years, no problem. It just started acting up in RAW this year. I downloaded Picasa that same day and now it seems to be opening up all of my RAW files that didn't open the other day. So, I think Picasa installed a new plug-in adaption to CS2 because now all my RAW icons have a new logo on them, the same one that's in Picasa. Strange, but it works now and I am not complaining anymore. I love CS2 and the many ways I can adjust RAW files, so I am using it, Picasa is a sideline now that I can take a look at many thumbnails and it organized all my photo files by the year and folders. Amazing free software. I have probably 60,000 images in my computer and an external hard drive and Picasa picked them all up and made a library, cool.

Recovered files open in Bridge but not in PS4 or Camera Raw

My Canon T1i failed with dozens of images on the SD card. I used DiskInternals Partition Recovery to recover the files from the SD card. Many of the CR2 images show up fine in Bridge CS4, both the Content thumbnail and the Preview screen. (Screen shot 1) However, when I try to open them in either Camera Raw or PS4, most of images either do not open or only some sections of the image appear. For example, if you divided the image into 9 equal rectangular segments - 1, 2 or 3 may be visible, but the other are blank. (Screen shot 2)
Does anyone have an idea of how to recover the files?

How about the Cannon software that came with camera? Or one you can download from Cannon.

Have you checked Camera Raw supported cameras listed in this table?
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Olympus OM-D E-M1 support was added in Camera Raw 8.3
The question still is - Is there a time frame for Adobe to update its Camera Raw for this camera?
The question is which version of Camera Raw do you have installed and which operating system are you running?

How to change preference setting in Photoshop CC 2014 to not automatically lauch Adobe Camera Raw when opening Nikon raw .NEF file

When I launch Photoshop CC 2014 and then open a .nef raw file it launches Adobe Camera Raw and I click Open Image, then I "Convert to Smart Object" then launch Filter > Camera Raw Filter. Is there a preference somewhere for raw files that just bring you right into Adobe Photoshop without stopping at Camera Raw first? Thanks!

Gene,
Ah! Okay, makes sense now. I just learned tonight that some features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter. One being Lens Profile Correction. So it makes sense to have have Camera Raw open right off the bat to make some tweaks first then continue on. I found the below on the Adobe website. Thank you so much!!
Note: The following features are not available when using Camera Raw as a Smart Filter (that are normally available in Camera Raw), primarily because they don’t make sense in the filter context: Workflow options and preferences, crop and straighten tools, rotation tools (rotate left/right buttons), snapshots, camera and lens profile corrections.

I recently switched from PC to a Mac Book Pro and some things are different. I used to be able to open a jpeg or tiff in camera raw on my PC in Photoshop CS6 by going to file, open as, picking my image under file name and "open as" click on camera raw. Ho

I recently switched from PC to Mac and I want to be able to open a tiff or jpeg in camera raw. I could do it on my PC but can't figure out how to do it in Mac??

Use File>Open, set Enable to All Readable Documents, then click on your tiff or jpeg and select Camera Raw under Format
Then click on Open

When upgrading to ios5 not all my pictures came back. Now instead of Camera Roll it says progress-sync and every picture I have says saving and I can't send. My albums are empty. Help?

When upgrading to ios5 none of my pictures came back to albums. I don't have anything in albums, not even the camera roll albumn with pictures I have taken since. I can get to the handful of pictures I have taken by going to camera, but it says "progress-sync" where it used to say camera roll. Now every picture I take has a saving photo on it and it won't let me do anything like email it, etc. It also is not showing up in albumns. How do I fix this? What happened? Help?

I had a simialar problem with mine, but my Cameral Roll at least was there. Hopefully you have been keeping a copy of your camera roll. I back mine up to my PC every now and then. If you did not, you might want to try a RESTORE to try to get back the Camera Roll.
As for the other Picture sync, I had to create a new directory on my PC and then resyng this NEW directory....BUT NOW I have TWO identical directories on my phone, which I am trying to resolve, but AT LEAST I can carry my sync photos around with me until I get one of the directories eliminated.
Next time I WONT be so quick to jump on the next Apple OS update!
