Why the RAW files appear as exec files in CS4 Bridge?
I'm wondering how I can make my RAW files visible in CS4. I'm using the new iMac 10.8.3. Everything worked well in Tiger.
Canon 7D and 5D III
I believe you mean that only some files appear as 'exec', just a rounded rectangle icon with grey gradient and top left corn in green 'EXEC', the file extension shows '.CTG'. This is the file that sorts stuff on the CF card and you can safely delete this or simply ignore once the files have been imported on your computer.
If you check the file size of this icon you will see it has only a couple of 100 bytes, depending on the amount of files you have shot on one day or session so not even 1 kb while your Raw files will probably are around 15 or 20 MB in file size

Previewing 5D Mark II RAW files in CS4 Bridge
I have just updated to the 5.7 version of RAW for my CS4, but I still can't preview them in Bridge. Any suggestions or remedies? Please HELP!!
From the list http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html it looks like you need anything above
5.2. So it should work.
Most acr problems are one of 2 items: ACR in wrong folder, or more than one version in the folder. Check download page to see where they should go. -
Why Aperture doesn't send the RAW file to Photoshop
I've seen the complaint about Aperture not passing the original RAW file to Photoshop in several places in this forum. I think I have a reason for why Aperture doesn't work this way.
The reason has to do with the 1st law of digital RAW photography. "Never, ever, overwrite the original RAW data from a camera's RAW format file."
Because of the above rule, both Aperture and Photoshop do not actually work on the original RAW file. They transform the RAW image data into a usable image using user specified settings (which may be the camera's default setting for that image). The original RAW file is left untouched.
When you open a RAW file in Photoshop and try to save it, you'll be prompted for a new file name. You wouldn't want to overwrite the original RAW file by writing the edited image data back to it.
When you edit an Aperture RAW file using Photoshop as the external editor, Aperture first creates a TIFF or PSD version image file in its library and then passes that file name to Photoshop. Photoshop opens the TIFF or PSD file and directly edits it. Since this version file is already in Aperture's library, when Photoshop is finished editing it, Aperture automatically sees the edited file because its already in the library.
If Aperture were to send the RAW file name to Photoshop, Photoshop would open the RAW file and create a new PSD file. When it came time to save your edits, where would you save it. In order to get it back into Aperture's library, you would need some form of Photoshop to Aperture communication so that Photoshop would know where to save the edited file and Aperture would know to add it to the library. This would require collaboration between both Adobe and Apple and doesn't seem likely.
I have a couple of ideas someone can try. These are only ideas and completely untested. I'd do it myself but I don't own Aperture (see my computer info below for the reason).
1. Create two folders with automator actions. You export your RAW files from Aperture to a "Photoshop-IN" folder. Any new RAW image found in this folder will be automatically opened in Photoshop by the Automator action. Then you save the edited Photoshop file into a 2nd folder "Aperture-IN". Another Automator action imports this into Aperture.
2. In iPhoto, if you try to edit a RAW image with an external editor, iPhoto creates an intermediate image file (JPEG I think) which it passes to Photoshop. But, if you drag the original RAW image thumbnail from iPhotos library window to the Photoshop icon in the dock, the original RAW image file is passed to Photoshop. You only have the problem of getting the saved Photoshop file back into iPhoto's library. Maybe this same thing would work in Aperture by dragging the Master image to the Photoshop icon in the dock.
PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3) FW800, 4 internal HD - 550GBThis is all well and good. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of keeping the "master" sacrosanct. What I object to is not being able to do the conversion in Photoshop (or elsewhere)
What I want is for Aperture to send the raw over to photoshop when I select "open in external editor", and then follow the current workflow (I do my edits, hit save, and a second master is added to Aperture's db.)
It's totally possible for them to do this, and it wouldn't break anything in the system, or the philosophy. Of course it's a workaround that wouldn't be necessary if Aperture's converter were up to snuff. But it isn't, and I bet it would be easier to implement the workaround than to fix the fundamental defects in the converter itself. -
The RAW files I just downloaded on new MacBook Pro are designated as JPEG in the photo info box. Why??
How did you download? Have you been using the Import panel?
How is the pop-up selector for the "Raw+Jpeg" set?
If you are importing raw+jpeg pairs, and you set this to (Use Jpeg as original), then you will see a little J on the thumbnail, otherwise a R.
Or did ou import with Jpeg only? -
Why are my actions not processing the RAW files correctly?
For starters, I have to say the CS4 has been one of the most unreliable software packages I've ever used. It's a beta version. Adobe is making Microsoft look good these days. I was extorted into upgrading from CS3 because Adobe chose not to create a RAW plug-in for CS3 that would open Canon 5D Mark II files. They wanted the revenue.
I'm an engineer and am pretty good with computer problems, but after spending hours simply trying to install the CS4 upgrade over CS3 on a fairly new, very fast Windows machine with no other software installed by me, I gave up. It took 3 hours on the phone with an Adobe tech to get it running (more or less) properly. CS4 still freezes up about once a day on that system, losing whatever the latest changes I've made by the time I finally get it closed and restarted Then a month ago I bought a new, fast Windows laptop. I only installed CS4 and Word on that computer (with all the latest patches and RAW plug-ins). It's biggest problem is in processing RAW files. I have an action that works fine on my other systems that I wrote from scratch on the new laptop. All the action does is open a RAW file as a PSD file, resize it, convert to sRGB, change the mode to 8 bits, sharpen it, and save it as a JPG. But the resulting JPG does not look like the RAW file from which it was made--color, brightness, contrast, etc. are all significantly changed. When I get back from an assignment and transfer the same RAW files to my other computer on which CS4 is installed and run the same action, the JPGs come out perfectly. Once again, Adobe has met my low expectations. Any ideas on what the problem is?Sounds like you're a candidate for Lightroom...based on the time you don't
want to spend in Photoshop.
Photoshop install media is likely created in large batches, perhaps in a
foreign country, so it's understandable that you get Photoshop 11.0.0 is on
the media.
I don't know as I would use ProPhotoRGB as my working space in Photoshop. I
was merely suggesting that you look at your color settings to make sure
things were the same on both machines.
How do you know your actions are the same? Did you copy the action
recording from one computer to the other, or did you merely record the same
steps on each one? Have you compared the details of each action step in the
Actions Palette to make sure they are the same? The symptoms still sound
like something different than sRGB being the output color-space, or the fact
it isn't embedded on one or the other of the computers.
How are you viewing the JPG when it looks the same or different than the
RAW? Are you looking at the side-by-side in Photoshop, or side-by-side in
Bridge, or are you using a mixture of viewers, one Adobe, and one not? And
are you using the Canon Codec on Vista or not? The Canon Codec would be
showing the camera-preview in the RAW not the RAW adjustments that Adobe has
done.
While the OS shouldn't be causing a difference in how the action is run, a
difference between OSes may make a difference in the processing to show up.
The camera profile associated with a RAW file is visible in the
third-from-right tab in ACR over at the right. The one with the little
DSLR-camera icon on the tab.
Can you attach the two JPGs on a reply, here, or if not, upload a ZIP of the
two JPGs and the RAW to a file-sharing site like http://www.rapidshare.com/
and post the download link(s)? -

Is there any benefit to keep the RAW file after editing outside Lightroom creates a TIFF
When working with RAW files in Lightroom and you choose to edit in Photoshop, the only option is "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (Edit Original is grayed out). This creates a .TIFF so after you come back from Photoshop you now have two copies of the photo--the RAW file and a TIFF version.
In my normal workflow, I make additional edits to the TIFF file in addition to the changes Photoshop made so I'm left with a "out dated" version of the RAW file. Is there any benefit to keeping the RAW file at that point? I'm doubling my disk usage by keeping it.
Fire away.....Answering this question:
This got me wonderig why LR turns my 25-30mb CR2 RAW files into 80-95 mb TIFF files when it sends them to Photoshop for editing but Photoshop can open the same 25-30 RAW file in DNG format and save it as a 25-30 mb TIFF. Why are the TIFF's LR creates 3x larger than the ones created by PS?
Camera RAW file formats are compressed to a small file size using manufacturer proprietary information about the image sensor pixel layout. This provides a more efficient loss-less file compression algorithm than TIFF's LZW or ZIP compression algorithms. LZW or ZIP compression is not used when Lightroom exports and opens an image in Photoshop for editing, but you certainly have that option when saving the file after applying your PS edits. DNG files using loss-less compression can produce a file size slightly smaller than RAW format, but I have no experience with DNG.
Answering this question:
CS3 can't read Canon .CR2 RAW files (at least mine can't unless there is a plugin of some kind).
Support for newer camera models like your Canon 7D are only added to the then current (and later version) Adobe Camera RAW Converter and Lightroom. Newer Adobe Camera RAW converter versions (6.3) are not supported in older version of Photoshop like CS3. It is the nature of business marketing and also due to the large expense to support older application versions with "new" plug-in features. It would be a support nightmare!

Aperture refuse to open the RAW files from my new Nikon D7100. What can I do? Thanks for help!
the raw support of new cameras will be made with a Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update not with a aperture update. But when the new RAW- Update will arrive is not sure.
And that usually can only be installed with newer Aperture versions. You cannot use the latest raw support with Aperture 3.2.4, unless you are able to update to Aperture 3.4. And earlier raw support versions cannot be used with Aperture 2.
See the footnotes on the Raw Support page http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html. That is why asked for the Aperture version.
** Requires Aperture 3 or later.

High ISO or Push The RAW File? (ACR/LR has a problem here!!)
This topic has been discussed numerous times.
Should you shoot with high ISO or can you just push the exposure in your RAW converter?
What looks better?
What has more noise?
I tested. Nikon D300, shot inside, crappy tungsten light. Each scene I shot with a higher ISO and with the same aperture and shutter speed one stop lower ISO.
For instance:
- f/4, 1/80s, ISO800
- f/4, 1/80s, ISO1600
Now I went in ACR 5.2 and pushed the lower ISO shot 1 stop. Noise Reduction all off.
Here are the results:
- In ACR pushing 1 stop isn't enough. You need to push somewhat around 1.3 stops
- The color shifts in the pushed shot - more saturation, more contrast. Wood for instance gets significantly redder.
- Noise stays virtually the same!
Hmmm. So what would Nikon Capture NX 2 do? Again, NR all off.
That's what happens:
- Pushing 1 stop is enough. It does exactly what you'd expect.
- Color stays exactly the same.
- Noise stays exactly the same.
The shots are virtually indistinguishable!!
So what about 2 stops?!
The exact same results. The "problem" in ACR magnifies, you need to push around 2.6 to get there and saturation and contrast shift significantly now, to an extent where clipping and blocking happens.
Capture NX on the other hand again works flawlessly. No difference between ISO 1600 and ISO 400 pushed 2 stops. Noise? The same. Shadows? The same. Colors? The same.
Shadows don't get lost any more in an underexposed shot that's pushed 2 stops than they are in a shot with ISO two stops higher!
Very interesting. So with NX you could probably shoot the whole evening on ISO 200 and then push it later. Unfortunately NX can only go +2 stops ...
Last comment here:
Adobe need to do some homework here. A lot that is. The non linear increase of exposure, the shift in color and saturation and also the severe, blocky color noise that ACR/LR show in very high ISO shots are way below what we can expect.
Do you trust me or do I need to post the shots?
Cheers!
ThomasJeff Schewe says:
"Of course I don't trust you ..."
Sorry, it took me a while, but here are the shots. Initially I did a more sloppy handheld test but I wanted to do it right and now used a tripod and cropped exactly.
http://www.gg-images.us/misc/isovsev
The image names show the ISO, if it says -1 or -2 it means it was 1 or 2 stops underexposed and then pushed accordingly in the RAW converters.
The RAW files are at http://www.gg-images.us/misc/isovsev/raw
Lee Jay says:
"The "exposure" slider in LR/Camera Raw isn't a pure raw*2^exposure, and this is quite intentional."
And why is this so? And what is the intention?
Gordon McKinney says:
"And remember, the camera does an electronic amplification "push" of exposure on the sensor. It should perform better than software since it provide the A/D converts more signal to work with. ..."
The results from Capture NX look as if the software is doing just as good as the in-camera "push" that high ISO does.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first. -
I am wondering if anyone has an update on when finder will show a thumbnail for the raw files from the Canon 5d mark III? I've done all the updates possible and nothing has changed, I can't do a quick preview either, it just shows the extension image, not the actual image taken. (The symbol for crw).
I had the same problem for a Canon EOS-1D X and finally got around it by viewing the images in Adobe Bridge. Worked beautifully!

After reinstalling CS6 the bridge photo downloader isn't able to read raw files and fails to convert the raw files to DNG. Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. No such problem before this reinstallation.
You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
