XMP from camera raw files: ACR SDK yes – but where from?

Hi,
the XMP docs state:
"… you should not pass a raw-format file directly to XMP Toolkit file handlers (XMPFiles), but should use the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) SDK instead."
( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/pdfs/XMPSpecificationPart3.pdf )
I'd love to, but where can I get the Adobe Camera Raw SDK? I couldn't find it. Am I blind?
Any pointers are highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Lars

ACR has little to do with getting your images into your computer; it's involved with opening your raw files (using development parameters you choose) into Photoshop to edit them, or to convert them to other formats.
Regarding Photoshop Elements integration with reading card images as part of your workflow, this isn't the best place to ask, as this forum is dedicated to the full version of Photoshop, which expects the user to control more of the low level operations himself/herself. It would be better to ask in the Photoshop Elements forum:

View Camera Raw files fine in Browser, but image not supported in Viewer

Hi,
I have a Canon EOS 20D camera and shoot in RAW format nearly all of the time. When I import those photos into Aperture 2.0.1 they import fine and all appear in the Browser window no problem. However, when I want to see them in the Viewer, either by double clicking a photo in the browser, or by having my monitor display both the Browser and the Viewer at the same time, the photo cannot be seen in the Viewer. I get "Unsupported Image Format" on the screen. Meanwhile, even if the Browser is on screen at the same time, the photos appear fine there.
Any ideas?
thanks

Two things you could try:
A) Re-build your library (hold down Alt + Command while starting Aperture).
B) Re-generate your perviews (hold down Alt while clicking the menu "Images", select "Generate Previews for Project).

Photoshop CC doesn't open my camera raw files from my new Nikon D800 (ACR v 8.3.0.141)

However, it opens camera raw files from my D300 without problems.
Same for Bridge: NEF files are displayed as generic thumbs.
Can anyone help me?

I don't use the Nikon software, but I believe that the latest version of Nikon Transfer works fine. I think it comes with ViewNX2, which is a free download, AFAIK.
I personally download my photos using a card reader and Adobe Bridge (which comes with Photoshop, and contains Adobe Photodownloader). Not sure, but I think it's included with Lightroom & Elements too (but I don't use those either). Using Photodownloader has the added advantage of being able to add metadata at the same time.

Significant reduction in file size from Camera Raw to DNG

Hi,
I am currently testing the conversion of Leaf camera raw files into DNGs for a photographer's archive. I am hoping to convert all of the mos files to DNGs because Leaf Capture and the Leaf Raw Converter are not being updated and because the photographer wants to have an Adobe centered workflow. In my testing I discovered that converting mos files to DNGs through ACR 8.4 and LightRoom 5.4 resulted in a reduction of file size by nearly 50%. A 44.5MB mos file became a 23.6MB DNG. From what I've read only about 15-20% of the camera raw file should be lost and all of the data lost should be propietary.
Here-in lies my quesiton, is there any way that I can track or determine exactly what sort of compression is being done to the mos file and what information is or is not travelling in the conversion to DNG?
These are the settings I have used for converting raw files to DNGs:
ACR:
JPEG Preview: Medium Size
Embed fast load data
Don't use lossy compression
Preserve pixel counts
Don't embed original
LIGHTROOM 5.4:
Only Convert Raw files
Delete originals after successful conversion
File Extension DNG
Compatibility Camera Raw 7.1 and later
Jpeg Preview Medium Size
Embed Fast Load Data
Thanks!

50%? - I thought we were talking about 15-20%?
In my first post I questioned why I was seeing a reduction in file size of 50% when according to forums and articles I've read I should only be seing a 15-20% reduction in file size. I then wondered what data I might be losing, which you addressed.
Same as what? - what were the results.
I was referring to testing I preformed on camera raw files produced during different years (all mos). I converted all files with the same ACR and LR settings and found that the DNGs always reflected a 50% reduction in file size. This test suggests that any conversion issues is not necessarily related to how the camera raw files might have been differently built across years.
Adobe's raw data compression is touted by DNG zealots, but I haven't scrutinized it enough to corroborate or refute.., but my experience is that reduction is relatively marginal. All of this assumes original is also compressed - if uncompressed in original source, savings would be large.
The files I am dealing with are definitely uncompressed which could account for the large reduction in file size. I didn't realize until I posted to this thread that converting to a DNG results in a compression of the original image data. I understand that this compression is supposed to be lossless like a lossless compression to a tiff and thus result in no decrease in image quality or harm to the original image. I am baffled by how it is possible that any compression of a file (especially by 50%) could not result in a loss of important data but I will accept that it is possible to have a truly lossless compression and that the size reduction I am seeing could be a result of all of the different processes a file undergoes that you have outlined.
I looked into the effects that backwards compatibility has on the conversion process which might interest you http://dpbestflow.org/DNG#backwards-compatibility
I also posted to luminous landscape's forums http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=89101.new;topicseen#new
Although it wouldn't surprise me if the DNG conversion process tossed the xmp-like metadata, and kept the original stuff, but it would surprise me if it tossed the original stuff - but as I said before, I haven't scrutinized for completeness so I don't know.
I've done testing in which I converted .mos camera raw files with their sidecar xmps and without their sidecar xmps. My tests revealed that the DNG definitely carries over xmp metadata although it is not clear to me exactly how it is carried and if anything is lost.

Opening Camera Raw Files from Nikon D700 to CS2

Hi there! I recently upgraded from the Nikon D200 to the D700. I haven't managed to upgrade to CS5 though! Can anyone help me, I'm trying to open my Camera Raw files in CS2, but I can't. What version of the upgrade do I need for the Camera Raw and where do I find it!
Many thanks!
Carla

The last version that is compatible with Photoshop CS2 is Camera Raw 3.7. It is available from the download site. If you are not going to upgrade your Photoshop then it will be necessary for you to download the latest version of the DNG converter and use it to create Digital negative copies of your raw files. Then you will be able to open those DNG files in ACR 3.7.

CS5 6.3 RAW File not reopening with changes saved from .xmp file?

I recently upgraded from my D70 to a D7000, and downloaded the new plug-in for CS5 RAW (since the D7000's raw images weren't readable). I have no problem opening my photos in RAW 6.3, and tweaking them (just like before). When I'm done and want to save my changes I click "Done" and a .xmp file is saved just like before. However, when I re-open the same RAW file the changes that I previously made seem to have never happened, and I'm back to scratch (which would only happen before if I had deleted the correlating .xmp file). What's going on?? Help!!
edit: The .xmp files are saved next to the raw file in the same folder

In Edit - Preferences - Camera Raw, what is your choice for where to store the settings?

Camera raw file from EOS 650D

I can not view my Camera raw file from EOS 650D on my laptop - which uses photoshop CS5 (as part of my creative suite)
I have now purchsed a new mac laptop and photoshop CS6 (part of the creative suite collection) and still can not view my camera raw files. Any help would be much apricated as i have not been able to view my file for 2 weeks now.
Thank you so much,
syc

That camera model was supported for the first time by ACR 7.1 which only works with Photoshop 13.0.1 ("CS6").
When you first instal CS6, it installs ACR 7.0. You must now update the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in to 7.2, wich is the current version.
Just go to Photoshop > Help > Updates and apply all available updates. That will take you to Photoshop 13.0.1 and ACR 7.2.

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

Import camera raw files from Canon 70D to PSE 10

I downloaded the new DNG converter, and I am still unable to open the camer raw files. Please help!

You need to use the DNG Converter 8.4 to create DNG files from the CR2 files, then PSE will open those DNG files.

I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

The D610 needs ACR 8.3 so you are easily covered there. I am not entirely clear on the process you are using the bring the files onto your hard drive. The safest way is to simply bring all the NEF files into a folder on your hard drive, then find them with bridge and open from there.
If still stuck, open Photoshop, and go Help > About plugins > Camera RAW and check that 8.7 installed OK.
