White Balance Tint Limit When Processing Raw Files

Hi guys, following some recent suggestions I've got hold of some Welding glass to use as an ND filter on my Fuji HS20. It arrived today and works a treat.
I do however now have a new issue that this has caused. I've set a custom white balance on the camera to counter act the tint from the glass. This now produces the correct colour on my jpg photo's however the RAW files have the wrong colour tint.
When I open them in photoshop elements 11 I get the CAMERA RAW application. The white balance is set to 'AS SHOT' however the Tint is at +150. I'm guessing my problem is that the tint needs to be more than +150 and CAMERA RAW is limiting it.
Does this mean I am now limited to using JPG's when I use this glass as an ND filter, or is there a way I can get rid of this limit to the tint on the white balance

I have exactly the same problem. The reply is to your question is not what you were asking, isnt it?
The point is that we CAN NOT adjust the white balance as suggested, because the sliders are already at their maximum value when we open the photo in camera raw. We'd need to further increase the tint value (as the photo looks green) but it is by default at 150, so we cannot increase it further.
One way to overcome the limitation of the tint/temp sliders is to save an intermediate tiff or psd file. You can open it in ACR and apply the same maximal slider correction.
For the same purpose, instead of saving an intermediate file, I opened the raw file in the editor. From there, I used the Editinacr script in Elements+ to reopen the layer in ACR (shift f3 and script selection). Same corrections and back as a new layer in the editor. I could repeat the process several times to get a very powerful correction without intermediate files.

No White Balance In Metadata Tab for RAW files

Hi - when I open my images in Bridge, I cannot see any White Balance info in the metadata tab for my RAW files despite it being checked in the metadata preferences tab (under both Camera Data EXIF and Camera Raw). In fact the metadata tab doesn't show up at all for Camera Raw info. It is very frustrating especially when I am comparing images taken using customs white balance, and ones taken using the automated WB settings. I am using CS3. Any advice on how to solve this mystery? Thanks

Could you be more specific about what system you have and what version of Bridge and Camera Raw plug in you are using?
Have you checked the Bridge menu: window and see if a checkmark is placed in front of the metadata panel?
Also if only the tab for the metadata panel is visible the only option to view the data itself is to drag the panel up or down to resize it and makes the data visible.

Cannot paste white balance settings to all selected raw files

Hi,
I select a raw file whose WB I need in order to place it to a whole set of raw files. I press Copy... and make sure WB is selected. then I move to the folder containing the raw files I need to copy the WB to, select them all and press Paste. NOTHING happens.
What am I doing wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Juan Dent

the only module that has Copy/Paste buttons is the Develop module. If I switch to Library/Grid view there is no Paste button.... then, how do I paste the settings I copied? Also, what is the Paste button functionality?? Why is it in the Develop module if it cannot be used there?
There is more than one way to skin a cat! Library module Photo>Develop Settings (see screen shot). There are even keyboard shortcuts. The Copy /Paste Settings commands can also be found in the Develop module under the Settings menu.
BTW: In Develop module I would tend to use the Sync button rather than Copy / Paste. Sync will operate on all selected images whereas as Paste will only operate on the most selected image.

White screen when processing RAW

Hi, since installing 10.5, I have a problem when processing RAW files from my Pentax K10d. If I press the 'enhance' button, or attempt to sharpen, the photo disappears. The only way to get it back is to reprocess the RAW file. I have rebuilt the library, thumbnails etc by pressing apple+alt on iPhoto startup. I have also used BatChmod on the iPhoto library.
Could anybody please help me, as I am really cheesed off

I am not sure if this is directly linked to 10.5 because as soon as I installed iLife 08 I had this same issue on Tiger. I have also done a clean install of 10.5 and iLife 08 done all the updates and still have this issue...
None of the fixes has solved this and my pictures are Nikon RAW - very annoying...

Why are no Pentax lenses in the Adobe Camera Raw lens profiles when processing JPG files?

I normally shoot and process raw files and use the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw for processing. Some of these files are converted to jpg for use on the net or e-mailing etc. Sometimes I want to make minor changes to the now converted jpg file and often go to Adobe Camera Raw for ease and speed of use. Lately I have gone back to some files that were not thoroughly processed as raw files before conversion to jpg. When, in ACR, I go to Lens Corrections panel, Profile tab, I Enable Lens Profile Corrections and choose Setup: Auto (or Default) and get the message, "Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically".
I then go down to Lens Profile and click on Make with the intention of choosing the Pentax lens which I used for the photo. Here is the problem - there are only six choices under make, namely Apple, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony and Tamron. I have no such issues when processing a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw. Pentax lenses are automatically detected and Pentax, along with Leica, Samsung, Zeiss, etc. are choices under Make of lens.
Do other people have this problem? Is there some setting I have missed? Is Adobe just not permitting some makers' lenses, for which there are profiles, to be corrected if the files are jpgs?
BTW, I have checked and the same issues exist for tiff files opened in ACR.

Assuming I read your post correctly, and that you're trying to use Lens corrections on JPEGs and TIFFs... I believe there's a completely different set of profiles for correcting already "developed" images (such as JPEGs and TIFFs). If I recall correctly (and it's been a while since I read about this), it's the same set that's used inside Photoshop for the Filter - Lens Correction tool (I hope someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I read this somewhere).
If your lenses are known to Camera Raw when you develop raw files, I suggest you will need to go all the way back to your Raw file and reprocess it from that stage. You'll get a better result anyway.

Aperture 2 and White Balance Tint

Hello
Has anyone else noticed the huge colour shift when making a White Balance Tint adjustment with AP2 on a new image?
When I make an incremental (1 point) Tint adjustment for the first time on a new image the colour changes dramatically (similar to making a 20 point tint adjustment in one go). Hitting the Reset button and then making further incremental WB adjustments eliminates the problem - and everything is back to normal.
This is happening on both my Nikon D3 and Canon 1DmkIII images, so, I don't think it's a camera specific problem.
Anyone else?

I am having the same issue. Clicking in the value box for Temp or Tint causes a big shift. Using the Temp slider causes the image to go green quite a bit. The eye dropper is not much better. It routinely goes warm by a few thousand degrees or gets a green tint.
I called Apple and walked the tech through the issue and he was able to duplicate it and confirmed it is a bug. It is driving me crazy as I am spending way to much time fussing with white balance.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images. Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail. Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

Rita,
The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
Hope this helps.

How do I set photoshop to process raw files in background all the time?

Sometimes when I process my raw files in photoshop it will process them in the background. Other times it will make me wait while the files process until I can access photoshop again. Anyone know why this happens or how I can consistently process raw files in the background? Up to CS5 I think it was an option somewhere but I can not find it now.

Hi eusib43, Sorry you are having problems.
The redirection blocking feature is really intended to help users that need to use screenreaders and such; rather than being any sort of effective security measure; but some users set that unnecessarily.
* Try '''Firefox Button (or Tools) → Options → |Advanced| → Accessibility → [] Warn me when Websites try to redirect or reload the page ''' (Wording and exact menu options may differ somewhat)
* See [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption#w_accessibility]]'''_accessibility'''
* Does unsetting that solve your problem ?

Every time Photoshop CS6 is updated it loses the ability to process RAW files

I have had no trouble with PHotoshop CS6 for several years. Then I bought a copy of Dreamweaver CS6, which on installation destroyed all records of every other Adobe product that I have. It also stopped Photoshop CS6 from handling RAW files. So I reinstalled them. All of them. And then they could see and process RAW files again.
The Adobe Updater got to work after the next log on, downloaded a huge bolus of software and now Photoshop cannot handle RAW once again. This is truly annoying and becoming expensive. Has anyone had a similar experience?
I note that teh Dreamweaver product is not listed on my registered product list here on line, and when I tried to register it, the system refused, saying that it was registered as a part of a 'systems purchase', or some such. I bought it as a download from an on-line retailer.

That certainly sounds like bogus software. I'd get rid of it (and do a clean reformat/reinstall of everything in case it has planted some malware in your system).

Suddenly no .XMP are made when processing RAW photos

Since yesterday, suddenly no .XMP files are being made (or at least I can't see them anymore(!??) when processing RAW (.CR2) photos.
How is this possible?
Is this a real porblem?
How can I solve it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Erna Koelman

Thanks for your quick reply, Barbara!
I don't see the three-lined square you are referring too. But I suddenly found the solution myself. I realised that I had openen the last pictures holding the 'Alt', which means not opening the original but a copy. Turning back to not using the 'Alt', the . xmp files are coming back.
Next question: in a workshop I followed some time ago, the trainer told us that .xmp have no use at all, and could be deleted immediately after processing the raw picture. Isn't that a strange advice? What would go wrong if you would indeed always delete the .xmp files?

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

You know what - I'm sorry
I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
I am officially embarrassed

Why does Aperture 3,not process RAW files from Leica D-Lux 5 ?

Hello:
The purchase of my Leica D-Lux 5 came with LR 3. All raw files can be processed in that Application.However.I also have Aperture 3 and it will not process RAW files from the D-Lux 5.I hope that Apple soon will address this inconvenience.Has anyone els had the same problem?
Hoping for a solution;Thanks John Basso. Mac OS X 10.6.7

I can tell you that it does process them from Panasonic LX5's - I have one. The files are probably very similar with slightly different processing metadata and a different tag. It is possible to change the tag in the RAW file prior to import that "fools" aperture into thinking that the RAW is the same as a camera that is supported. I have done this with other cameras where the RAW files were really the same but the camera was not yet "officially supported" at the time I bought it.
I kinda remember doing it to the EP-2 or was it the EPL-1? Don't remember but there are plenty of tools that will allow this - google is your friend.
Just make sure that your install of Ap3/OS X DOES actually have support for the LX5... Might work but I have not tried it.

What do I need to process raw files in Photoshop CS5 for a Canon Rebel EOS t4i?

What do I need to process raw files in Photoshop CS5 for a Canon Rebel EOS t4i?

You would need ACR 7.x which is available in CS6. Or as ertho said you can get the free DNG 7.3 converter and convert raw to a DNG.

IPhoto 9.6 hangs when importing raw files.

since upgrading to Yosemite and upgrading iPhoto my macbook pro hangs every time I try to import photos from an SD card. I can import one or two but if I try to import new photos ~300 photos then the kernel task memory usage shoots up to use 95% or more of memory and then it starts running extremely slow and the memory pressure jumps between yellow and red. If I kill iPhoto the kernel task doesn't release the memory.
I have tried uninstalling iPhoto and and restoring and rebuilding the iPhoto library but to no avail at this point.
Anybody have any other ideas or know if there is a bug with iPhoto 9.6 processing raw files?
