Why do Sony DSC-RX100M3 raw files look strange in PE9 when flash has been used in the shot?

I have just bought a Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera and use it to shoot raw + jpeg. I want to use the raw files in my Photoshop Elements 9, which has the Camera Raw plug-in version 6.5.0.216 installed. I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter version 8.7.1.311 so I can import my Sony raw files into PE 9 as they cannot be used directly. Most of the time these raw files look OK, but when I use the flash on my camera and then look at the raw files in PE9 they look far more pink than the corresponding jpeg files. The jpeg files look more or less as I remember the scene when I shot the picture.
When I look at the same raw and jpeg files in Sony's own Image Data Converter software (version 4.2.04.17270) the raw and jpeg files look very similar to one another, and there is no pink colour cast in the raw file.
What am I doing wrong in Photoshop Elements? I though the DNG converter keeps all the information from the original raw file and makes no changes to it, so why does the raw file look so different when flash has been used?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Looking at the pictures of the camera online, I'd say there is no lens shade--a device to keep light from the sides from causing lens flare--and the camera lens, itself, was just too far extended and there was a lens shadow. You probably can't use the flash that close up and should back off and zoom in further. Experimenting would give you a sense of what situations will have a shadow of the lens or not.
Your ACR plug-in is old enough not use have Process Version 2012, yet, only 2010 and 2003 so Adobe didn't have the idea to put the selector down next to the camera profile. The toning options are better with Process 2012 so that would be a reason to upgrade, but I am not sure that the Camera Neutral profile in PSE9 would be different than PSE13. If Adobe changed the camera profiles then people's pictures would look different once they upgraded to a new version and that's not something that's supposed to happen.
You can certainly download the PSE13 trial and see if things look any different, but they may not: Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads There would be newer minimum OS version requirements for the newer versions of Adobe software so check those out before trying to install, unless you're on Windows 7+ or OSX 10.8+ then it should be fine.
One more thing, the White-Balance tint is set to +10 by the camera:
This As Shot WB is more magenta and even when using the Adobe Standard profile, moving the Tint down to +0 makes things a little more green like your camera JPG. So there is more than just changing the camera profile that you can do:

Please provide support for Sony DSC-R1 RAW files

Dear Apple employee,
If by any chance you happen to read this topic, would you please forward this information to the Aperture team?
Some users need support for DSC-R1 Raw files in Aperture. Please do something.
Thank you.

I can't believe that Apple can't take the time to support the DSC-R1...when I saw the new OS and 1.5 release I had high hopes, which gave way to dismay.
How can they support a so-so cam like the A100 and ignore the R1? I have Bibble Pro...they have no problem supporting the R1 and many other cams that Apple's radar can't seem to pick up.
This is really driving me nuts...Apple, how about listening to the rest of us?
Anyone for approaching Apple and/or the Aperture developers as a group?

Aperture and Sony DSC-RX100M3 RAW

Hi,
Just got a new sony RX-100M3 and have found that the RAW files are not supported by Aperture 3.5.1.
Anyone else having this issue, and are there any work-arounds? (DNG converter does not seem to work)
Best

Have you tried different levels of compression with Adobe DNG converter?
The footnote on the Raw Support page http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html says:
Aperture works with most DNG files generated from cameras that support this format and with DNG files generated by the Adobe DNG Converter with the “Convert to Linear Image” option turned off.
If DNG converter does not work, use the software that a came with your camera. The manufacturer's software will give you the best possible raw development any, since they do know the camera best.
It is hard to predict, when the RAW support for this camera will released, you could try to shoot RAW&JPEG while you are waiting and import the files with the JPEG as original. This can be changed to RAW as original, when the RAW support is available.

Sony DSC-RX100 raw file problem

With the latest compatibility raw update to Aperture 3.4.5. The raw pictures I have in the camera become fish eye alike after imported to Aperture. I have another mac at home, I didn't update to the latest patch and the raw pictures function normal. Some of the old raw pictures also become fish eye alike. Anyone has the same problem with a fix? Or this is a bug from the update patch? Thanks.

Why does my iphone 4s display no contect when music has been added. The music appears to take up space but will not show on phone. Any help?

hi
recently bought a 4s iphone. Tried to add music in the same way as with an ipad but the music does not show. It says that there is no content on the iphone. It appears that the music takes up memory but I am not able to play it. I have tried to sync the phone but this does not appear to work.
Do you have any advice?
many thanks

Hi Gail
Thanks for your initial response. When I plug my phone in it is recognised as a device in iTunes. I have tried dragging songs from iTunes to the phone. The rotating symbol appears to say it is being added but it will not appear on the phone. I have also tried to add music by creating a playlist and then syncing. The memory changes to say music has been added but again no music appears on the phone.
Let me know if you require any further information.
Hope you can help
Chris

Why is my Ipad asking to be activated when it has been activated for the past 2 years?

I restarted my ipad and now it is asking to activate. The ipad attempts but with no success since last night. It keeps telling me that the serve is down-but since last night? I connected to itunes but it does not recognize the device. Please advise.

Did you recently restore or update your iPad?
Do you have the app Cydia on your iPad?

Why rowid has been used in the below query? What does it do

ArunI think that you'd do better changing it to something like:
SELECT
BANK_CODE,
COUNTRY_CODE,
CITY_CODE,
BANK_TYPE
FROM
TL_BANK
WHERE
BANK_CODE = ... AND
COUNTRY_CODE = ... AND
CITY_CODE = ... AND
ACTION_FLAG ='D' ;And then fire the person who wrote the orginal query.

Why will Camera Raw 6.7.1 in CS5 not recognize Raw files from a Sony DSC RX100M3? The Camera Raw site indicates this camera is covered.

I have a new Sony DSC RX100M3 and Camera Raw (6.7.1) in Photoshop CS5 (on a Mac) will not recognize the Raw files from this camera. What must I do?

Well, I guess the sentence
The table below lists all cameras that the Camera Plug-in (versions 1.0 through 8.5) supports.
could be interpreted to mean that even version 1 supports all those cameras’ raw formats.
And even the sentence
This powerful plug-in has been frequently updated to support more cameras and include more features and is available as part of Adobe Photoshop CC.
which should make clear that older versions of Camera Raw usually support fewer cameras does not unambiguously make clear that only the most recent full version of Camera Raw is being updated.
So I kind of understand how you arrived at your assumption.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac in Photoshop CS5 and have camera raw 6.7.

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

Bruce,
When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com
I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com
I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
Good luck,
Rob

Why are my RAW files looking like infrared?

Hi All,
I use Aperture frequently for my editing - just recently had a ridiculous problem that results in my RAW files looking infrared.
Have I enabled only a red channel or something?? Please help! See pic!

Wow, what a silly oversight - I knew I had had an update to do, but hadnt bothered with it yet. Thanks a bunch Ernie, I should have thought of us.
Much appreciated.

Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

Because your camera is newer than your software.
You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2. Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

My RAW files look washed out jpegs are OK

My RAW files look washed out, in camera I introduced warm colours by setting it on cloudy and set to vivid. They look great in other programs, how do I retain the original colors?

Buddy, the issue is that Photoshop Camera Raw / Bridge don't use the parameters you set in-camera at all. It may seem odd that it doesn't, but that's the way it works.
The idea is that these software tools give you full control over literally hundreds of factors that go into your raw conversions, and trying to emulate the presets on the camera just doesn't make sense.
You need to save new Camera Raw Defaults to deliver color you like in new exposures you haven't opened before. Check especially the Camera Profile setting in the Camera Calibration tab in Camera Raw. Adobe does provide some options that will get you close to what the camera does, then you can tweak the settings further.
For what it's worth, it's not wrong to want the color to match, especially if you like the color the camera delivers. I've created Camera Raw Defaults for my own cameras that provide a very good match between the in-camera color and what a new exposure looks like when first opened in Camera Raw... I don't always leave it that way, though.

Sony NEX-5N RAW file not recognized

I purchased and loaded from disk Adobe Elements 10. When I try to open a RAW file (.ARW) from my Sony NEX-5N I get a message that it can't be opened because it is the wrong type of file. How do I get Elements 10 to recognize the Sony NEX-5N RAW files?

this is the link for supported RAW formats
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
1. check which version of ACR is installed with your PSE
To check follow this :
Windows : Open Elements Editor from the welcome screen, then goto Help >> About Plugin >> Camer raw
Mac : Open Elements Editor , then goto Photoshop Elements menu>> About Plugin >> Camera raw and check the version
Check the version there, if its less that 6.5, then you have to update because the camers that you are usning , it requires 6.5 ACR version to work with PSE 10
To update goto Elements editor and and then goto help and update and this will show up the available updates for you PSE 10 which will include ACR as well, once the update is done and installed , then relaunch the PSE 10 editor and then check the version once again to be sure .
If it has updated to 6.5 or later then check your RAW files, they should work now..
