Win PSE7 Camera Raw Problem

Hi,
When I was using Elements 5 and CS3, I was able to open JPG files in the Camera Raw editor by viewing the files in elements organiser and sending them to CS3 for editing.
Now I've upgraded to Elements 7 this doesn't happen. How can I regain this functionality???

A possible solution is the following:
1) Use PSE editor to conduct raw adjustments.
2) Upon completion open file
3) After file openned, select edit in PS CS(3).
I had this exact problem right after loading PSE7. I always use PS to do my editing - cause I have it. Because I considered this a major flaw, and it continued the downward trend in integration between PSE and PS (started with PSE6), I have finally moved away from PSE (for now).
After purchasing Lightroom 2, I noted it exhibits same issue so I believe there is a connection between PSE7 upgrade and LR functionality. The real difference being LR has ACR as part of the package and all you have to do is toggle between Library and Development to conduct the ACR adjustments (vs launching editor). One can argue ACR is part of PSE too, but it just doesn't feel like it, particularly if one is using PSE soley for the organiser (like I do) and only as a "front" for PS.
Integration wise, I prefer the Lightroom method for now. Since I'm new to LR, I have more stuff to learn/digest before I jettison PSE.

Adobe Bridge cs5 V 6.0 camera raw problem

Hey guys I went to correct a few photos I took recently, Like anyother time I do this I open bridge find the photo I want then click open in camera raw...here is a picture of the photo in bridge no problem,
When I go into camera raw this happens to every photo, this one shows it the best but each photo I try and edit has this effect where the contrast of the picture goes from low to high... this problem just occured today, I did not install any new programs or change any settings at all... Please help!

this one shows it the best but each photo I try and edit has this effect where the contrast of the picture goes from low to high... this problem just occured today,
I'm not sure what your problem is but I suppose you mean the red color in the sky? This is a warning sign for highlights exceeding the visible range, like the blue color indicates the same for blacks.
If you bring back exposure you will see the red color change as you can do with other sliders.
Top left and top right of your histogram in Camera Raw you see a black and a white triangle with a square around it. If you click on triangle the square disappears indicating the warning color is set to off.

Camera Raw problem

I would like to be able to open a file that is already opened in editor? The only way I can currently open one in camera raw is by going to the File dropdown, then Open As, then choosing Camera Raw, and then I get a default list of DSC files. Prior to that it was a default list of BO files. Very slow and awkward.
Yesterday(before my Camera Raw upgrade to 5.4 version, I was able to open any file from either Quick Fix or Full Edit and the first screen I got was the Camera Raw settings. I know it can be done but I don't know how to get back there.
Any help will be appreciated.

Creative cloud License problem / Camera raw problem / Linked ?

I have bought a CC 1 year licence.
Quite every time I start Photoshop CS 6 it says that the CC trial period has expired (I installed CS6 premium from trial a few days before CC was activated)
It ask to connect oline to activate - then it activate properly but again next time I open ask for activation.But if I am not online it's not working !!!!
Each time i try to use camera Raw from bridge (command + R ) it says that a proper software needs to be activated before so I can't do batch processing but if I try to open one raw image in photoshop from bridge it opens camera Raw then opens properly in Photoshop CS6.
Is there a link between the two problem ?? why ask for activation every time ? how to use Camera Raw ? How to work ofline????
Licensing system looks very buggy !!!
We have paid and are unable to use it because of the licensing system it really not normal!!

Yes Have to License over and over
Sometime it says 30 days trial, sometimes 29, sometimes 00 days
I can license or go on trial ....
But to licence I have to be online...
Macos 10,7,3
And over and over but not each time I start photoshop ... but sometime several time a single day !!
Looks I am not the only one in this case according to the forum...

Lightroom & Camera Raw problem

I really cannot make any sense out of Camera raw and the other adobe products.
I have Lightroom 2.4, and if I click on the "about" option, I get told I have camera raw 5.4. However I have no DCP files installed, and so no camera calibration options. All I see is "Embedded".
Also installed are Photoshop Elements 7 (Camera Raw 4.5.0.175), Premiere Elements 7 & Photoshop CS3 (Camera Raw 4.0).
I am not an expert in this, and I find the instructions on the adobe site completely confusing and hopeless.
I juts cannot find any reference to how I get a CR update for my Lightroom. I have found 4.6 for CS3 which I understand i sthe latest, but I simply cannot find out how to get the camera profiles installed from any update. Can someone help.
Thanks
Colin

Thanks everyone. I got more info on this one post than in an hour looking round Adobe’s web site.
I also checked the FAQ's before I posted. There are 31 messages there, I've checked again, and none of them have RAW or Profiles in the title. Now there may be something in an article, but I didn't spot any relevant titles.
I also did a search on the forum itself for Raw & Camera profiles. There were a number of articles in there, but no CLEAR statement like you guys have just given me. I did find one that explained where the DCP files were (admittedly on an XP machine although this wasn't mentioned in the post). So I searched in the equivalent position under my User on Vista. Unfortunately I've now discovered Adobe has moved them to
I then compounded the problem by checking the wrong file in Lightroom. I basically store photos for myself and my wife on my PC, and on my Canon I always shoot RAW. So I then looked at the 1 jpg from my Canon this year!!!!! (well OK maybe there's a few more, but you know what I mean.)
But this is all part of the problem. It appears that we need to be experts to find the simplest of bits of info. It is still not clear to me how I update CR for Elements and CS3 (but I think at last I've found it.). Those who are professionals or experienced users can find info relatively easily, but a hobby user like me who might only need to look here once a month struggles to get answers. That's why the forums are so good.
So thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Camera Raw problem with new Nidon D90 and CS2

Please forgive me if this is a repeated question . . . but I need some advice . . . I just picked up a new Nikon D90 tonite . . . I'm using Mac 10.4.11 and Photoshop CS2 . . . when I tried to open my raw files in Bridge, I get the message that these files cannot be recogniized . . .After searching Adobe support I just have more of a headache . . .I primarily shoot Raw . . . and have never had a problem with CS2 and Bridge with my Nikon D80 . . . Please give me some advice . . .Thanks so much in advance . . .David

Of course you get an error! The D90 didn't come out until way after Adobe stopped upgrading ACR for Photoshop CS2. You will never have support for your NEF files with Photoshop CS2. If you don't want to use the DNG converter you have several choices. Upgrade to Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 2.x, purchase Photoshop Elements (latest version, although Camera Raw doesn't have all its features in Photoshop Elements), purchase some other software that will support your NEF files. The only way you can have the support for your NEF files in Photoshop CS2 is to use the DNG converter.
A lot of people complain that it is an "extra step" to use the DNG converter. You have to download the images from your camera anyway. Just use the DNG converter to do that. It will take a little longer than a normal download, but once the download/conversion is completed your workflow is no different than it otherwise would be.
Camera Raw has matured greatly since Photoshop CS2. You purchased an outstanding camera. It's now time to upgrade your software. ACR is little more than a toy in Photoshop CS2.

Camera Raw problem; images appearing soft and without definition on import

Can anyone help? I am having problems with ACR version 4.6 ( I cannot upgrade ACR without upgrading to CS5). When I open a RAW image in ACR, the image appears soft, and with poor definition. As a result, they have failed quality control for upload to the Alamy picture library, despite having been shot with a Nikon D3. I am simply opening them with ACR defualts, then opening to photoshop.
The files open fine in Lightroom and Nikon Capture NX, however I prefer to use ACR for my workflow. Any suggestions? I don't what to shekll out for CS% if the problem is still there.
Thanks, Robin

Have you tried resetting defaults? It sounds like either your Camera Raw default settings have been changed, or sharpening has been set to Previews only.
1. Open an image in Camera Raw, select the Details tab, and check that setting are like defaults: Amount 25, Radius 1.0, Details 25, Masking 0. You can always reset defaults from the little menu icon on the right of the panel title.
2. Check Camera Raw preferences, looking for the item: 'Apply Sharpening to:' and make sure it says 'All images'.
You might want to check other preferences too, especially the 'make defaults specific' settings, which, when used, create multiple default settings depending on camera and ISO.

Camera Raw problem with Chromatic Aberration

I am using bridge CS5 (version 4.0.5.11) and working in camera raw. In the lens corrections tab in the manual control I have lost my chromatic Aberration controll, this is to say, it has disappeared. I now see under the manual tab I now see the transform controlls, below that I see lens vignetting. The chromatic aberration conrolls have disappeared, where have they gone and can I get them back and how do I do that?

They're gone for good as of Camera Raw 6.7 and newer.
Adobe replaced them with an automatic process they say is better, and to be honest it usually works very well.
Folks have posted about a few cases where it doesn't work, but they seem to be exceptions, and so far Adobe is showing no signs of restoring controls to the user.

CS2 Camera Raw Problem - how to see my images?

A few weeks ago I had a complete PC failure and as a result I now have a new PC running Vista.
I have reloaded PS CS2, which is fine for all my needs but now I can't open my Camera Raw 2 files from my Canon 5D.
I realised that I had made an error when I downloaded the latest version of the CR Plug-in since that is not compatible with CS2.
so I replaced that version with Version 3.7.
Now when I use PS CS2 I get an error message as follows;
Unable to use the Camera Raw Plugin
It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.
When I check in Help>About>PlugIn it either,
Shows two Camera Raw Plugins - Version 5.40.57 and Version 3.7
Or, if I delete the Camera Raw.8bi file from the CS2 PlugIn folder I am left with one CR PlugIn but it is always Version 5.40.57.
I know there should only be one CR PlugIn but how do I get it be the correct on i.e. Version 3.7?
I know I made a mistake downloading Verson 5.4 but how do I now correct this so that I can open and edit my .CR2 files?
Thanks
Catrin

You will be better off removing both plug-ins from both locations and then downloading ACR 3.7 from here:

and installing it, following the instructions exactly.

Camera raw problems

I have Photoshop CS3 and am finding that some newer cameras create raw files that don't open in the latest CS3 raw software.
The CS4 and CS5 raw software is not compatible with CS3.
Can anyone please suggest a workaround that will allow me to get the raw files to open in CS3 camera raw software?
I recall something last year that let me do this when I was working on a computer at work but I have forgotten what it was.
Thanks for any advice.

Download the free DNG Converter and convert the raw files to DNG (or update Photoshop to CS5).
BTW, there's a whole forum dedicated to Camera Raw here.

I have cs5... adobe camera raw problems

PSE7, PS CS4, Organizer, Bridge, Camera Raw, Canon DPP

I'm trying to develop a process for using the various tools available to easily browser through a shoot's photos, zoom as needed, choose favorites, make any changes, etc.
I have PSE7/Organizer, Bridge/PS CS4, Camera Raw for both PSE7 and PS CS4, and Canon DPP. I owned PSE7 first, and I like it's backup features as well as the keyword/album and browsing interface, but I'm finding it may not be good for fast processing of a shoot's photos when they are RAW.
I'm shooting in RAW and I'm finding that zooming RAW images in Organizer is not possible beyond whatever preview image is present. Instead, I must open the image, which causes Camera Raw to open. Once in Camera Raw, I can zoom with greater control.
But what I notice is that using Bridge may be better to use for browsing RAW images, especially if I desire to open them in Camera Raw for greater zoom control, touch ups or whatever. The reason is that it seems to take longer for PSE7's Organizer to open a photo in PSE7 and Camera Raw than it takes for Bridge to open the same in PS CS4 and Camera Raw.
Here are my findings:
First time open of RAW or DNG:
Organizer opening to PSE7/Camera Raw: 15 seconds.
Bridge opening to PS CS4/Camera Raw: 10 seconds.
Second time open of RAW or DNG:
Organizer opening to PSE7/Camera Raw: less than 10 seconds.
Bridge opening to PS CS4/Camera Raw: less than 5 seconds
"Second time open" means that I keep the relevant application open when I return to the organizer. For example, after PSE7 opens, I do not close it when returning to Organizer, and likewise, when returning to Bridge, I do not close PS CS4 when returning to Bridge. The above figures show Bridge can open a RAW or DNG photo into PS CS4 and Camera Raw faster in both the case of PS CS4 not already open, and when an instance of PS CS4 is already open.
In exploring all of this, I tried using DPP as my "Organizer" and it, of course, was the fastest at opening photos to its editor which has a few preset zoom positions. It does have a "Transfer to Photoshop" option but that takes 30 seconds and converts to a TIFF in a temp directory. So DPP seems like something to avoid unless there are RAW editing features which do not exist elsewhere.
Given the above, it seems the best process for me is to use PSE7's Organizer for the features I like (i.e., backup, keywords, albums), but use Bridge/PS CS4 when processing a shoot's photos for keepers. Then use Canon DPP only if it has something which I must use, or just like better.
Do my choices here make sense, where I'm not missing something? If there's a good link that discusses high-level process for dealing with a shoot's photos to find keepers, that would be great to know about.
I realize what's best for anyone really depends on each person's preferences/needs, so the questions I ask are seeking general answers given the limited information I've explained about what's important for me (i.e., going through photos quickly, having good zoom control for review, and being able to go to either PSE7 or PS relatively fast... my findings say that Bridge/PS CS4 seems best for this unless DPP has something I must utilize).
Thanks,
Tom

Barbara and George M, You both had answers, but only one can be selected as "Correct" ... I wish the forum allowed splitting that. I gave Barbara's answer the "correct" mark since it was first. George M, I clicked "Helpful Answer" on your response, but your info was much more than just "Helpful"... great tips on the import/download file/dir naming. I'll look into that.
I played around with Bridge/PS quite a bit more, and I'm sold on its way of doing things. I get it now. It stores all keywords with the files, so this removes the need for any organizer-proprietary/custom format databases for retaining such information. This is actually the way I prefer to work, with as much control and as close to the files as possible, or at least with enough info about the files so I can do the right backups, ensure I'm saving the information I add, and so forth. PSE7 has the benefit of allowing keywords without affecting the files, but that's not a big deal for me so long as the metadata-writing software in the products I use isn't buggy, destroying the file (I know, I know, have a backup!).
I really liked PSE7 because I was thinking in terms of an organizer maintaining non-photo data (i.e., keywords) as does PSE7, but since Bridge embeds the info as metadata in the photo file itself, it removes the need for that type of organizer. With that known, the issue of backups no longer needs to be organizer-centric. With Bridge, I know the files and folders themselves is effectively The database. That means I can use whatever I use for my normal backups, and things are actually much more manageable and understandable down that route. So the Bridge/PS route is not only more powerful and faster (in my experience on my laptop), but the Bridge-way of embedding the keywords in the file keeps me loosely coupled, actually completely decoupled from being reliant on an organizer-specific database and all that jazz.
Thanks for helping/clarifying with your feedback on this.

Camera Raw installing images

I have just started shooting in Camera raw, problem I have is that when I save the files, it says there are no images to save,only way that i can save my images is to open Photoshop, go to file, open search for the card reader and open it to show the images.
Is there a way of me putting my card into the card reader and saving the images or do I not have the software to do that.

You might start with telling on what system you are and which version of Photoshop you have.
Depending on you RAW files (what camera are you using) you need the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) plug in for converting RAW files.
PSCS3 uses the latest ACR 4.3.1 PSCS2 is using 3.7 as latest. If your camera is not supported you can always convert to DNG.
It as always the best way to use a card reader for copying the RAW files to your computer. Using Photo Downloader or manually drag and drop to get the files on the computer.
There is a lot to learn about RAW, a very good book is Real World Camera RAW by Jeff Schewe and Bruce Fraser.

Has anyone encountered this error message with Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in?

Ever since I installed the Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 Plug-in for Elements 8 I get the following error message when I launch Editor:
"The Application or DLL C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8 \File Formats\Win 64\Camera Raw. 8 bi is not a valid Windows Image. Please check this against your installation diskette"
(As I downloaded the plug-in I don't have the option of checking against the installation diskette as the error message suggests.)
If I click OK on the error message the launch process re-commences and Editor eventually opens and operates effectively.
Does anyone have a suggestion about how I might remove this error message? Alternatively, do I run a risk by continuing to simply ignore the error message?
Thanks
Kinyo Jim

Delete the camera raw 8bi file from the File Formats folder.
Download ACR 6.2 and extract the files.
Drag the camera raw 8bi file from the download extract folder into the File formats folder.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move the plug-in file from the unzipped download folder by navigating to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\

Update to PS CC 2014 all updated ok, opening image in camera raw if I use any sliders/panels it just freezes the raw module. Anyone with similar problem/solution?

Any solutions/fixes. Photoshop itself it's fully functional apart from the raw opening problem. I did have 8.5rc installed, raw does seem to have updated as I now have PS CC (non 2014 version) fully functional. I have already tried a new download and re install of 2014 to no avail. Also tried a download of the separate raw module, no fix either.
Win 8.1 system
Thanks in advance of any help, was trying to avoid a complete Adobe file wipe.

Ok, so this is actually a Wacom driver problem( I'm using Intuos 4). If I turn off windows ink in Wacom driver settings then my sliders in camera raw become responsive again, but I lose pressure sensitivity in PS. Just updated Wacom drivers, but no joy. Anybody have a work around/fix?
