Question

ACR is creating new file names

I have been using ACR 8.5 and when I open a file it displays the original file name at the bottom. I just got a new MacBook Pro, PSE 2019 and ACR 10.4. When I open a file in ACR 10.4 it is showing "fullsizeoutput_2e.jpeg" "fullsizeoutput_2f" etc... for every file opened. How can I change it to show the original file name?

    I don't know of any way ACR can change the original filename - except when saving out directly from ACR, or by having Bridge or Lightroom rename on import.

    Also, you're obviously opening jpegs already saved out from somewhere else. You're not opening original raw files.

    What is an example of the original filename corresponding to the other names you've listed?

    What's the process you're using to open an original files in ACR that is showing a different name?  Give an example of the steps you're using.

    I import my images into the Photos app to organize and cull. I Then go to Elements and chose "Open in Camera Raw" from there I choose the files I want to edit from "Photos". My file names from my camera are AJI1000, AJI1001 etc. In the old version of Camera Raw when I would open the file it would show AJI1000 at the bottom. Now it shows fullsizeoutput... I haven't changed anything in my process the only difference is the new version of Elements and ACR.

    No, it’s correct in photos. It’s also correct if I open it in elements Just using “open”. But using “open in Camera  raw” it’s a different name.


    Yes, it may well be, but Photos is exporting a jpeg from the original raw file. And that export has a specific name added by Photos.

    You don't seem to understand that distinction between the original file and the Photos export.
