Why external editor Cs5 doesn't open in Adobe Camera Raw window?

I am workning in Apertute 3 and I want to edit some photos in Photoshop Cs5. I am working with RAW files, but when I want to open the file in external editor, it doesn't open in Adobe Camera Raw so I am loosing the Adobe Camera Raw adjustment abilities. Is there perhaps a way how to set up Aperture to comunicate with Photoshop Cs5 so it opens photos in Camera Raw window? I think in previous version of Aperture this was possible. Thanks.

Editing in the external editor (from within aperture) is only possible for Versions, not for masters, afaik. Since it would be pointless to export a Version again in some raw format, Aperture offers high quality lossless formats to export versions - tiff and Photoshop psd.
If you want to do the raw processing externally, you will have to edit the master image file:
export the master, or reveal a managed master and copy it to Photoshop, then reimport it.
To edit the master in Photoshop and to reimport it, you could use an automator service: I put a sample workflow and some instructions on how to use and modify it on this page: feel free to modify it according to your needs.

  • Tif won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor

    Photo tif file won't open in Adobe Camera Raw editor from Adobe Bridge - but it will open into Photoshop.  Seems tifs WILL open into raw editor IF they have not been edited in Adobe Photoshop.  Its like working on the tif in Photoshop makes the file un-openable in raw editor.  This seems to be a new problem since I upgraded from cs4 on a PC to cs5 on a Mac.

    Thanks for that tip, Jeff, I appreciate it!

  • Opening in adobe camera raw??

    Some times I want to open in adobe camera raw and then have the changes automaticly applied back in aperture with out having to save and export the file. I thought I would be smart and have bridge be my external file editor but then when I am done I do not see the changes in aperture

    Not possible to do it automatically. Aperture uses a different RAW processor than ACR. If you want to process in ACR then you can save out of it as a TIFF or PSD and manually import that file into Aperture.

  • Jpegs opened in Adobe Camera RAW

    With students new to digital photography and who are capturing in jpeg out of fear for the difficulties they assume go with RAW, I have found it useful to have them open some of their jpeg files in Adobe Camera RAW. They become familiar with the tools there and are willing to switch to RAW capture.
    My question is this:  What happens to that jpeg image if they set ACR to 16 bits and they continue to open their jpeg image into Photoshop (or Elements) with ACR set to 16 bits.  Since that data isn't contained in the jpeg file, what does ACR do?  Does it "manufacture" extra data?
    Mary Lou

    With either 8-bits or 16-bits black is 0 and white is the highest possible number, so adding bits just adds precision to the numbers, not extra data.  With 16-bits you get 256 colors between each of the original 256-colors of the 8-bit JPG so it’s like having fractional colors compared to the original 8-bit colors.
    An analogous situation using decimal numbers might be:  if the JPG starts with 3 decimal digits of precision then the numbers could range from 000 to 999 with 000 being black to 999 being white, but if you doubled the number of digits to 6 then the color numbers would range from 000.000 to 999.000.  These are exactly the same values as we started with, but if we choose to manipulate the colors, which is the point of using ACR in the first place, then we don’t lose information.

  • How do i open pictures in Camera Raw Window?

    How do i open pictures in this window?

    Easiest way is to browse that file in Bridge and right click and Select "Open in Camera Raw" or just double click to open(only for raw files) and it will open in a separate Camera Raw window.
    You can do that same from PS as well using Filter > Camera Raw Filter, as already mentioned by Warunicorn.

  • Leica M9 and Aperture3 not showing camera aperture setting when import DNG files.  Shutter speed and ISO are indicated, but not aperture.  When I export and open in Adobe Camera Raw aperture setting is displayed.

    Does any one have a suggestion as to how to get A3 to show the camera aperture setting on Leica M9 DNG files?

    You will want to read this thread in its entirety.
    The short story (as I understand it) is that the M9 body receives no information about aperture from attached lenses.  It is able to derive an estimate of the aperture, though, and it lists this derived number in the metadata field "Approximate F-stop" (not the exact field name).  Aperture (the program) does not report the contents of this proprietary field.

  • Open with External Editor Adobe Camera Raw = HOW?

    When I export a RAW file to the External Editor (I've chosen Photoshop CS3) I would like for it to open in Adobe Camera Raw, just like any RAW file that I open in Photoshop outside of Aperture.
    However it bypasses Adobe Camera Raw and opens directly in Photoshop.
    I have the "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files" and "for Supported RAW files" boxes checked in the Photoshop Prefs.
    I see some chatter about Hot folders and Automator around here, but no definitive answer/workaround.
    If Aperture doesn't support exporting to Adobe Camera Raw, it is a HUGE leg-up for Lightroom in the RAW workflow department.
    Please tell me I'm missing a checkbox somewhere... Thanks.

    You're not missing a checkbox, you're missing a fundamental issue of how Aperture (and LightRoom for that matter) work.
    When you use the Open in External Editor command, Aperture will convert the RAW file, apply any adjustments you have made, and send the resulting PSD or TIFF file to the external editor.
    The original file is NOT sent and there is no option to do so. Why not? Because Aperture Versions do not exist as discrete image files - the adjustments are shown on-the-fly each time you view it, saving on the space taken up by multiple TIFF/PSD/JPEG files for each Version. As ACR uses a totally different RAW conversion & adjustment engine from Aperture, Aperture wouldn't be able to display any changes made in ACR without including the entire conversion engine of ACR, which Adobe might not be too happy about...
    In other words, if you want to use a different RAW convertor you will have to export the Master, convert it in the other app, and then import the resulting 'normal' image file back into Aperture. The same is true for LightRoom.

  • Can't open a JPEG in Adobe Camera RAW 4.3.1

    I'm trying to open a jpg file from bridge to ACR using the cmnd+r combination and nothing happens.
    I can only view jpg files in ACR when I apply changes to them in Lightroom. Then I just double click on them (or cmnd+o) and they open in Adobe Camera RAW.
    Anyone can help?
    I'm using OS X 10.5.2

    In Bridge > Preferences > Thumbnails I've enabled the checkbox that says:
    "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF files"
    In Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling > File Compatibility I've enabled the checkbox that says:
    "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG Files"
    In ACR > Camera Raw Preferences > JPEG and TIFF Handling I have enabled the checkboxes that says:
    "Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw"
    "Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw"
    What I'm I doing wrong?

  • Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop

    Using external editor (PSE12), sometimes photos open on wrong desktop. This is annoying and only happens 10-20% of the time. I then have to drag the photos to the desktop PSE is running in. Unfortunately I cannot find any pattern s to when this will happen. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

    Workflow-
    iPhoto 9.5.1 open in desktop 1
    PSE 12 open in desktop 2
    In iPhoto I select 4 photos, rt click on one of the photos, select edit external editor
    Most of the time the photos open in desktop 2, but 10-20% of the time they will open in desktop 1. I then show all the desktops (F3) and drag the photos to desktop 2.
    I can see there is going to be a lot of finger pointing (iPhoto vs OSX vs PSE) as to which piece of the operation is dropping the ball. iPhoto finds the 4 photos, opens them in PSE, but someone lost the desktop information. With that said, I think the iPhoto programers need to talk to the OSX programers to determine if the desktop information is being correctly passed. (I would guess that PSE assumes all PSE windows will be on the same desktop)
    As an aside, I can perform most of my PSE operations in desktop 1 using keyboard shortcuts.

  • I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

    I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever.  I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw. 
    I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch.  In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
    Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
    To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
    However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
    Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

  • Using Adobe Camera Raw as External Editor

    I've recently purchased Aperture 2.1 and am very pleased with everything thus far. I capture the majority of my photos in the RAW format (Nikon NEF specifically), and the one thing I'm trying to work out is this - with iPhoto I am able to choose Adobe Photoshop as my 'External Editor,' and when opening an image for adjustments, iPhoto sends the the picture in its native format. Consequently, RAW formatted images open with the Adobe Camera RAW plug-in, jpegs right into Photoshop and so on. With Aperture I notice that I am still able to select Photoshop as my 'External Editor,' but instead of sending the native format, Aperture allows only the 'temporary' format options of TIFF and PSD (8 and 16-bit). Needless to say, the files open directly into Photoshop -instead of the Camera RAW plug-in that I would prefer for my RAW files. Does anyone know of any work-arounds or possible solutions to this issue?

    iPhoto has no RAW conversion controls, but just makes a copy of the file for iPhoto edits.
    When you choose to edit it in photoshop, it sends the original over to Adobe Camera RAW. This is NOT a non-destructive workflow.
    Aperture has its own RAW converter- a quite good one- so the need for ACR is removed, and the workflow IS non-destructive. You should only be going to Photoshop for the things that Aperture is not designed to do like compositing and hi-end retouching
    The only work around is to export the master then open it in ACR, but that workflow would be senseless.
    Honestly, if you prefer ACR, then you should be using Bridge or Lightroom for DAM as well.

    Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).
