Eric (MadMan) Chan, from the ACR team, explained why ACR 7 beta supports less cameras than ACR 6.7 RC. My interpretation of what he is that it has to do with software development cycles: because ACR 7.0 is part of the much larger CS6 all of which is new, the functionality (including camera support) of ACR 7 was frozen much earlier than the functionality of ACR 6.7 which is part of CS5.x which is not being updated, much, if at all. Said another way, because the rollout of CS6 is so important and the development and production, more time was given for internal testing and bug fixing, which pushed back the point where new functions could be added, including new cameras, as compared with PS CS 5.5, the entire development cycle of which was adding new cameras and PV2012 functionality. I would speculate that, Adobe will be releasing ACR 7.1 rather quickly after PS CS6 ships, to help synchronize its functionality with both ACR 6.7 and LR 4.1. Adobe is forcing you to do nothing. You have chosen to purchase a camera before it was supported. Adobe is being helpful to both you and themselves by releasing betas of products that allow processing of images from your new camera, even if the workflow is not what is ultimately intended.

LR3 and 4 have the same sort of Import panel with checkboxes by each image. If you have only a few this is ok. If you have hundreds you’d have to click things individually, one-by-one.

You cannot copy only the RAW files during import if you have both RAW+JPG on your CF card. You can import everything into LR (with RAW+JPG as SEPARATE FILES) and then use the filter-bar (\ key in Library), adding File Type to the set of filters and clicking on JPG to reveal only those and then selecting them all and right-click-Delete Photos… (From Disk not only Remove from catalog), then setting the Filter back to All File Types. You can delete the photos from your CF card before the import process. You can switch your camera to RAW-only so you don’t get the JPGs to start with. What is your reason for shooting RAW+JPG then only caring about the RAWs?

The setting only has an effect on imports done afterwards, so try a new import and see what happens. When you talk about “folder” do you mean he disk-folder, or the LR-folder? Treating RAW+JPG as a single entity should show only the RAWs in LR but both files will be put into the disk folder, if you are copying/moving from somewhere else into the final disk-folder destination. If you have more questions, you might be more specific about your import process and the version of LR you are using. Some have said their combined RAW+JPG import is only showing JPGs when they are finished, using one of the recent or current beta versions of LR.

You're not supposed to see a dialog using Edit In Photoshop if LR and PS/ACR have compatible versions.
To see a dialog, you can create a separate 3rd-party-external-editor link and point that at the Photoshop executable. It at least used to be that you had to make a copy of the executable with a new name, Photoshopx.exe, and designate that copy as the external editor so LR wouldn't detect it being Photoshop and not show a dialog like it doesn't with the real Photoshop executable.

LR 4.1 RC + PS CS5 (12.0.4) + ACR 6.7 RC, no CS6 on the system, works as it should for me on Windows 7 32-bit.
In other words: Edit in Photoshop CS5 on a RAW file in LR4.1 RC brings up PS-CS5 and says it's reading the RAW format, and opens the image in PS-CS5 that looks the same as in LR4.1 RC. No intermediate file or popups or other unexpected things.

You don't have to use LR4, yet, if you find the integration and workarounds unacceptable. I would expect things to work better with the final release of ACR 6.7 and LR4.1. Those that do not have a cross-product dependency are happy to see a new version of LR4 sooner rather than later.

Moving the mouse to the edge of the screen is not sufficient to activate a hidden panel if there is more than one monitor, because moving the mouse cursor to and then slightly overshooting an edge with an adjacent monitor merely puts the cursor onto the other monitor. Also, if there is a dock or taskbar along one edge, then the mouse does not stop at the edge of the LR window, either, and if the dock or taskbar is set to autohide, then it is activated by moving the mouse to that edge, not LR.
My version of your request, would be to have an additional "borderless" full-screen mode in the sequence of screen modes cycled through with the F key that removes the collapsed-panel-unhide hover area and the extra (gray) border. Any unhidden UI elements should still be shown--clicked open panels and the tool menu, for example.
A question would be whether this mode only works in Develop or only in Library or only those two, or if it is more universal.
Another question is what happens with the secondary-monitor when borderless is activated. Right now, it has top and bottom unhide areas, but nothing along the sides.

I would think your ACR cache be 3 to 4 times larger than the total size of all the RAW images you want to work with at a time. I am saying that because the ACR cache contains the 3-colors-per-pixel versions of your 1-color-per-pixel RAW images and depending on if the data is compressed much if at all, it could be much larger than the RAW size of the corresponding image. If you normally barely fill up a 2GB card with your RAWs, then a 5-8GB cache might be ok. If you fill up a 32-GB card, then a 100-150GB cache would be ok.

Before you delete the profile, click the Add button at the lower-left and scroll down a little ways choose the one with Name: sRGB IEC6196602.1, Filename: sRGB Color Space Profile.icm Then delete the Samsung profile and select the sRGB profile and set it as the default.

Another thing would be to purge your Camera RAW cache and your thumbnail cache, I think there are two caches you can find in Preferences in either Bridge or Photoshop, itself, in case the cache has become corrupted. If this doesn’t fix things, then go out to where the cache is reported as being located in the settings and look at the permissions of the folders, there. You also might try changing the cache locations to somewhere else that you are sure you have permissions for. Run as SCANDISK or CHKDSK or whatever it is called, nowadays, in case something is bad in the file-system that Bridge has detected.

One reason this sometimes happens is that you may have two versions of ACR installed, then and PS is picking up the wrong one. Do PS -> Help / About Plugins… and look for how many Camera RAWs are listed and check the version of each.

If you lose your 7D RAW capability again, come back before changing anything. After re-installing, had the Adobe Updater started up a little sooner, no forum post would have been necessary. A customer who skips a version is already a lost customer. We can all find ways not to spend money that we don’t have enough of. Adobe also is trying to find ways to not fire workers. They have already outsourced their level-one support to India. Now they’re trying something else to even out their cash flow. Us hobbyists are at the mercy of policies meant for business-related customers, just the like high-end DSLR pricing. A 1D can’t cost 8 times more to make than a 1000D.

The 7D was supported in ACR 5.6 so you should be fine if you update to 5.7. It is still a mystery why it started failing this morning. You should be able to check for updates inside CS4 from the Help menu, and it’ll know that ACR 5.7 is the last compatible version. Adobe only updates ACR for the current version of Photoshop. The release schedule for Photoshop has been reasonably stable at 18-months give or take a few months, for quite a few versions, so if you really updated to CS4 just before CS5 came out, that is not Adobe’s fault. Unless they change their mind, starting with CS6 Adobe will require you update every time or pay full price, apparently because they feel they are losing money by people skipping a versions. An alternative is to use Lightroom which costs half the price of Photoshop, and continue to use Photoshop CS4 to do your final edits, but use LR in place of ACR for most things.

Do PS -> Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera RAW and what version does it say. Also is there more than one Camera RAW listed? Did the security on your system change? What OS? Are you an Administrator on the computer? Can you copy the files to somewhere else and will they open ok, then? Perhaps post one of the 7D RAW files for someone to try to see if it works for them. Upload to www.YouSendIt.com or www.DropBox.com and post the download link.

You can also use the Lens Profile Downloader from Adobe Labs:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lensp...
There are separate profiles are for RAW and JPG, so if a profile doesn't show in LR make sure the file-type matches.

You can view what various memory processes and the overall computer are using via TaskManager and the Resource Monitor. To start TaskManager I usually just right-click on my task-bar and choose TaskManager. I usually have have or add Memory (Private Working Set) and Commit Size and PF Delta as columns in the Processes tab of TM plus whatever is there by default. The Resource Monitor is started using a button at the bottom of the Performance tab in TM. If you have TM set to Always-on-top then it might cover over the Resource Monitor panel so you should minimize or at least move TM to the side.

The 60D was first supported Photoshop CS5 using ACR 6.2. You either need to pay for the upgrade to PS CS5 and update it to the latest versions of things, OR convert your CR2 files to DNG files using the latest version of the DNG Converter which is free from Adobe and they will open in the older ACR that you have with CS4. You can find the latest DNG Converter by drilling down into the Camera RAW 6.6 update pages linked off of: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Having to repeat myself is frustrating when someone is not reading what is written and insisting LR does things it demonstrably does not, and I am being more direct and less diplomatic than someone at Adobe would be so the message is more clear.

LR forgets a photo has been imported when it is removed from the Library and cannot tell if a photo is new or just deleted from the Library.
Try it and see. Import a photo. Remove the photo from the library. Import the photo, again, with Add New and Don't Import Suspected Duplicates enabled and the photo will be presented as a never-Imported photo.
Sure, LR could be programmed to do anything a computer can do, but Adobe is unlikely to go through the effort just to accommodate a few stubborn users that are following "worst practices" of using a memory card as semi-permanent storage.

If you want to make a request, then something safe and doable would be Remove Rejected Photos from Memory Card, and I expect it'd be near the option in the menu that says Remove Rejected Photos from Disk or whatever the exact wording is.

There is no way for LR to tell the difference between a deleted photo and a never imported photo—neither exist in LR but both would exist on the card, so the operation is *not safe* unless LR keeps information around about photos that have been deleted. That’s all I was saying.
If the subject of this thread was “I want LR to delete Rejected photos from the card that have not yet been deleted in LR” then that would be safely doable because the record of the photo is still in LR and LR could use the file-signature it has to detect duplicate imports to know if it should delete the LR-rejected photo it sees on the card.

You’re asking LR to delete everything off of a card that doesn’t match something in its library. This is not safe in the simple and general case, because LR cannot know or reasonably verify that nothing has been changed on the card.
For example, if LR is just doing a quick filename match between the LR Library and memory card:
What happens if you put in the wrong card, one that has not been imported yet—everything (on the card) would be deleted.
What happens if you’ve take more pictures and reinserted the card, then those new pictures would be deleted.
What happens if you renamed the photos as you imported them so they can’t be matched by name, anymore—everything is deleted.
LR could detect a wrong card or added images or the renamed photos by keeping track of the card file names and locations, a file-signature computed from the data, and a memory-card serial number for each imported file and check it is only deleting a previously imported file that no longer exists in the LR library. LR would need to retain this information for each original file, forever, or at least an indefinite period of time, so probably would need a way to purge it. This would also help out the people with the opposite problem, where they want to skip any previously imported files, even if they’ve been deleted in LR, because they keep all their files on the card just re-importing only new images each time.
Alternatively, LR could do things safely if the memory card remained in the reader or the camera remained connected from the beginning of the import process, through the review process, and up through the last back-synchronized delete. As soon as the memory card is removed then things are unsafe because LR can’t know or trust that nothing has changed on the memory card between the import and review process, then LR would have to prohibit the synchronized-delete operation.
The point is that LR doesn’t know enough, yet, to keep things safe, or would need to require an unlikely scenario to keep things safe. Adobe has yet to deem such a request worth the extra programming effort to accomplish it safely. It's easy to ask that everyone pay a little extra for Adobe to program things safely for a few people and add extra support staff to accommodate the rash of calls every time the delete-synchronization is no longer available because the memory card was removed or camera disconnected before the Import/Review process was completed.

“Packing light” seems mostly just an excuse to not change an existing routine out of sheer stubbornness, because an external USB-powered 1TB drive is almost as small as a smart-phone, a pack of cigarettes, a deck of cards, and probably smaller than an extra pair of socks or underwear, so easily can be packed with a laptop.

No. LR is not a backup utility nor a general-purpose file-synchronization utility.
Instead of leaving the photos on the card at all, get an extra USB-external hard-drive and copy ALL the photos from the card to this external HD and once you get home just delete all the photos on the external HD since the ones on the normal HD are what you want. Of course you copy go a step further and copy the photos from your HD back to the external HD after you've sorted through and deleted the ones you don't want and use this as a permanent backup.
A 1TB external HD is only $100.
You can use LR's backup while importing feature to do this automatically make the copy to the external HD as you import to your main HD so all you'd have to do is delete things off the card.
