Camera Raw

I run two systems on a Mac Pro Desktop with 32 gigs of ram. One system is running OSX High Sierra 10.13.6, the other is running OSX Mojave 10.14.6. Both are running the most current version of Photoshop CC 2020 and its version of ACR. Within 10.13.6 I can merge 3,4, 5 or 6 raw files to a single DNG without any problem. Within 10.14.6, when trying to merge the same files I get, "Merged result exceeds maximum size." In both cases the preference option is set to 21mp at 16 bit per individual raw file. I have run through the ACR preferences and can find no setting that changes the outcome in 10.14.6. I have no problem running the automated merge in Photoshop CC 2020, but I want the DNG from ACR first for possible future readjustment, and then I can dump the raw files and recover a lot of storage space. What am I missing here?

I created a profile but know I want to make some changes. Is there any way I can edit the profile and play around with the colors and re-save it? The profile is an XMP file. Thanks in advance. 

I am long time user of ACR. All of us know problems about new version. I did downgrade because the version 12.3 was unusable. Today I tried new version 12.4 with expectation that all bugs will be solved. Haha. Almost nothing. Crop tool is still same (no classic version)! UI is confusing. If you use Crop tool the image remains small or big (no automatic fit to window).Sorry but I pay Adobe Creative Cloud and I want to have new version which will work. I do not want use old version for years... It would be nice if someone competent from Adobe tell something. And I don't count unusable online chat support.It looks like Capture One Pro will be at the first place for me. Jakub

I download Raw 6.7 for CS5 the latest version. It will not open Song ARW files. I can do it with DNG so that solved an issue. However, I'm curious even though it's the  latest raw version for CS5 ... is 6.7 too outdated to load Sony file? 

When I open Nikon Z6 RAW files in photoshop the image is completely wrong. See Attachment. I have the newest version of camera raw and photoshop. 

The DNG converter did a great job converting .ARW files from Sony A 7iii but gives me a parsing error when attempting to conver older Sony files. I am stumped. Did the new DNG converter drop camera support? How can I get an older version of DNG converter or any other app to try?  I am running Mac 10.14.5 (Mohave). Thank you.

Hello again- I'm trying once moe to see if anyone can help. At the lst CC update I noticed some of my profiles and presets were missing. Upon some searching I discovered that some were in C:\ProgramData\CameraRaw\Settings and some were in C:\User\MyName AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings.  There were some profiles in the latter directory but did not show up in ACR! I've tried reinstalling those that didn't show up in ACR (without deleteing them from the directory) and got a message saying 'already installed'! Adobe help mentions I should use the AppData adress to install the xmp files into. Does anyone know if there is a place in Camera Raw to point to a certain address to install these files. Enclosed is a screen shot but I'm not sure if it will help. I think I may have to reinstall Photoshop and reinstall the Profiles and Presets. I just don't want to! 🙂 Thank You ion advance for anyone's help. Gary Fern BTW- Even though I know my way around the computer a bit, I d

Obviously, there is a lot of regret in downgrading to 12.3. Currently, the only available older versions start at 11, which isn't very useful for new camera owners.   {Moderator Note: CR-4199540, 4199541,  Edited issue tags and thread title}

Is there a way in camera raw to put a setting in sharpening dialog box and it s gonna be there for all futur pictures ? or we have to do it every time 

I created some of the new adaptive presets using ACR 12.4 and they work fine.When I copy them to my second Windows 10 PC they do not work correctly and appear as "partially compatible" presets.Additionally presets which are NOT adaptive copy across ok and work without issue.I copied them using Windows file explorer. Is that my mistake or is there a deeper issue here?What is the accepted way to copy presets from one PC to another?

I've done some web search, read the tutorials but after lots of trying, camera RAW still refuses to apply the defaults I chose. I've tried to follow these instructions (and also instructions of a page in English):https://helpx.adobe.com/de/photoshop/kb/acr-raw-defaults.html but it doesn't work. More specifically, these are the defaults I would like to apply: 1. Camera RAW applies the camera profile which I have created (for my Olympus camera).2. Camera RAW sets "Bearbeiten" to automatic.3. Camera RAW sets "Klarheit" and "Dunst entfernen" both to 10.4. Camera RAW set "Rauschreduzierung" to 5 and "Rauschreduzierung (Farbe)" to 15. I opened the "Camera RAW Voreinstellungen (Version 12.4.0.555)" window. There I have set "Master" to "Adobe standard" (also tried setting it to "Kameraeinstellungen", but it didn't help). Then I checked the "Master-Einstellung für bestimmte Kameras überschreiben" box and selected my camera model (also unchecking this box produces no result -

I use Photoshop CS6 and ACR v7.0. That version lacks the slider that allows me to change the grid size on the Lens Corrections tab. The slider was there in a previous ACR version. Adobe says that "For older Adobe applications [one should] substitute with the Camera Raw 10.5 installer". According to the same page the system requirements of v10.5 is macOS 10.11-10.14 which my computer meets. My question is if CS6 is such an "older Adobe application" with which ACR v10.5 works? Thanks in advancePhilip

when opening an image in camera raw it glich and I can't work with it

Hoe kan het dat Adobe DNG versie 12 4 0 555 converter mijn Sony ARW bestanden verkleint naar 1024 x 683 pix? Ik gebruik de DNG converter zonder daar iets in aangepast te hebben. Als ik het ARW bestand door een vriend laat converteren, die ook de Adobe DNG converter gebruikt, blijf het bestand wel 6024 x 4024 pix.Ik werk met windows 10.

Hello -I just bought a new MacBook PRO and installed Photoshop CC19 + ACR 11.2.I tried to load all my ACR presets from my previous computer.Strange enough some of my very old presets are present but some more recent presets are not showing up?Any reason for that?I get the following message when I try to load them manually:"Unable to load the raw conversion settingsThe Camera Raw settings in the selected ".xmp"metadata file are not compatible with this image"Don't tell me that I've lost all these presets please… . 😛Thank you,- Dimitri

Hello-I work exclusively in ACR and Photoshop. I have purchased Profiles and Presets (and also made up some of my own. Recently I noticed that some of the Profiles were not present in my Profiles Tab in ACR. I've tried to reinstall them and I get an error message steing 'already installed'. Questions- Why do I have 2 different adresses where these are located (both viewable and not viewable)? What is the correst address? I've tried clicking on the zips, extracting them and dragging and dropping the xmp's into the different folders. Just about everything! I've looked at the preferences in both ACR and PS CC to see if I could find the address or select an address to look at. No luck. I am not a computer guru but do know my way around a bit. I'm enclosing 2 screen shots that show the 2 different addresses and what is viewable and not viewable in ACR. I've thought that maybe I just need to uninstall PSCC and start over. This all started after the last update.Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm trying to find out how to change the Camera Raw Histogram from RGB to show the Luminosity graph.  Adobe Help can't answer me.  Any help very welcome, thanks.

Hi guys, whenever I open a photo in ACR, first thing I see are my bottom panels, so everytime I edit I need to scroll all the way up to the edit panel. Is there a way to change that? Because first thing I need is the edit panel, then maybe I will scroll down to the other panels and use them, not the other way around.Thanks.

I've been using Photoshop CS5.1 with ACR 6.7 for many years now, but just upgraded to CC. The old version of ACR used Process Version 2, and I was expecting full compatibility with the new software. While this has generally been the case, there seems to be a serious omission: spot removal instances in my files are not being seen in ACR 12.4. Considering I've edited thousands of DNG files, and many were shot at small aperture that required removing dozens of dust spots, this is a critical problem. Am I missing something, or was a change made to the Spot Removal tool sometime in the mid-late 2010s that broke backward compatibility? If so, I'm willing to get my hands dirty with any specailized software that might be available, or even modify the XMP metadata appropriately if that's possible. What I can't tolerate is manually de-spotting all these images if I want to open them in the new software - I may be forced to go back to CS5.1 if that is the only option.

I know what you're thinking and you are right, I'm an idiot. So I took some senior photos for my niece and was editing in adobe bridge and yes, I did a batch rename to a lot of photos in their raw format on the memory card. All of the thumbnails are now black and say "exec" in bright green: When I double click on a thumbnail I get this:Please tell me they're not lost!! Thank you!

Hello,I have captured raw images from my action camera(gonoise play2), when I open it in lightroom or photoshop, I see this raw image file is not supported by the lightroom or photoshop, can anyone have a look in the file attached here, and let me know if you are able to process it or not,will be a great help, Thanks in advance.Regards.

I was pushed into 12.4 and I regret it. What's the improvement? I don't know - I haven't found it yet. What are the drawbacks? One can no longer set "Neutral" (or any profile aside from Color or Monochrome) as the default starting point. I guess they decided we want the Adobe engineers to initiate the editing process. One reason I shoot RAW is to have control over the image. It appears they have completely illiminnated the perspective control tool. Can this really be true? Am I just missing it somewhere? If they did indeed delete it ... what in the world are they thinking?

Hi, I've just edited a bunch of photos in ACR but then it crashed. Can I restore the edits I've done somehow?

I have the latest version of Camera Raw but the sliders don't work for me. How can I go back to the previous version. Thank you

For the life of me I cannot figure out 1 good thing about the new UI on Camera Raw 12.3I did not sign up for Lightroom.  I hate the placement of the tool barsI hate that the Tab layout is now and endless challenge of scrolling up and downI hate the crop toolI hate that the functionality of the hand tool to view your cropped photo in full screen seems to have goneI hate that there's no quick toggle out of crop viewI hate the vertical menu layout vs tabsI hate that it now takes me 3 times longer to process my photosI hate that you were too lazy to keep the SAVE button WHY WHY WHY ???
