The principal difference is that some adjustments in Camera Raw are applied before demosaicing / conversion to destination colourspace & bitdepth. Such adjustments can't be replicated readily in Photoshop. Additionally the range and behaviour of adjustments is different between Camera Raw and Photoshop, some have migrated across (e.g. fill light) but ...

Resize and then sharpen is the answer. It is commonly said that sharpening should be the last step. This make sense because you do not want to stretch the effects of sharpening. Sure you could do more complicated things but the lest steps are applied the less change there will be of seeing artifacts in the final image.

Anything you do in Camera Raw is non-destructive. It will save the changes in an XMP file so that adjustments are applied when you view the file and edit it. But you can manually undo them anytime you want. The easiest way is to simply delete the XMP file. Or you can open the raw file in ACR and undo the changes. For example, select the crop tool, then ...

The basic problem with taking photos underwater is that the water absorbs quite a bit of light. It absorbs red more than it absorbs blue. As you can see in this wikipedia article on Electromagnetic Absorption by Water, there's about 100x more absorption of red/orange light (per metre of water) than blue/purple light. I'm not sure that simple white balance ...

While I'm not aware of any off-the-shelf solutions (and it's not native to Lightroom/ACR), there's no reason why it can't be done. Since ACR/LR don't touch the original file (with a few exceptions related to EXIF data) but store the adjustments to be made in an XMP file, and XMP is just XML (plain text with angle brackets), there is no reason why an ...

This is certainly something easily done in lightroom. If you import all 1200 photographs you can select all and then apply whatever development processes you want before exporting as jpg. My preferred route though would be to create a development preset and set that as the default before importing and then to create a filesystem publishing entry with ...

Don't worry that the D5100 isn't listed. The picture controls can be downloaded for use by the software (View NX2) or to be uploaded onto the camera. You're only interested in making them available for View NX2, so don't need to worry about the camera model. If you haven't selected another Picture Control setting in your D5100 menu, it will have defaulted ...

You would have to upgrade Lightroom or Elements, as only the latest versions support the 6D. The Canon 6D requires Camera Raw 7.3, which is compatible with Lightroom 4.3 Photoshop CS6 According to Adobe, Photoshop Elements 11 only supports ACR 7.0-7.2. However, it appears the 7.3 update may be applied to PS Elements 11.

It is now supported in the LR3.4/ACR6.4 update. Along with Canon EOS 600D (Rebel T3i / Kiss X5 Digital), Canon EOS 1100D (Rebel T3 / Kiss X50 Digital), Fuji FinePix S200 EXR, Fuji FinePix F550 EXR, Fuji FinePix HS20 EXR, Fuji FinePix X100, Hasselblad H4D-40, Kodak EasyShare Z990, Nikon D5100, Olympus E-PL1s, Olympus ...

What you need to do when in Camera Raw, if you think you may want to make further ACR changes, is instead of clicking the Open button, first hold down Shift and the button will switch to "Open Object". Now click it and you will get a smart object layer. You can double click on that at any time and reopen ACR and make adjustments and keep anything you've ...

Any image that is not a native RAW format or DNG only provides the basic set of white balance options. This could be JPEG, as well as TIFF, PSD, or any other image format that Lightroom can load. The reason for this is that the full range of white balance and exposure adjustments are only really viable with RAW files to start with, and adjusting any one of ...

When you are in Camera RAW, make whatever adjustments you like, then press the shift key. The open button changes to Open Object. This gives you a re-editable object -- i.e., you can dive back into Camera RAW if you like simply by double-clicking the smart object layer. All of that said, if you make any raster level adjustments in Photoshop -- say a ...

Typically the only way to replicate the same RAW conversion as a manufacturer uses in camera is to use the software that they provide(typically with the camera). In this case I think you want to first try MyFinePix Studio. I don't have the software, and the website is pretty vague on if it includes RAW conversion or not, they make it sound like strictly a ...

I don't know about NEF, but I know with CR2, I have the ability to adjust how the RAW file is imported, but after import, you are working with a standard raster graphic in Photoshop and a lot of information for use with color correction and exposure control is lost. This is also the reason why Adobe Lightroom exists as a product. In general, the best ...

Image View plus more 2 can do this. In Preferences "p" you choose the raw processing parameters that fits best your images. Then you "save all to new folder" and choose bmp or jpeg. In case of jpeg , make sure the jpeg quality (p) is max. It is based on DCRAW. I have photoshop elements 9 and I liked the result from imgview better. If you want more dynamic ...

why not use the Adobe bridge which comes with photoshop?? try this source, First, Photoshop wants you to select the images to process. If you started in Bridge, it is already set to process the image files that you selected in the previous step. If you launched the image processor from inside Photoshop, you will have to browse for the images that you ...

I used X100 and today I shooting with X-E1 and facing same issue (especially for X-E1, it has unsupported sensor). No software at the moment can convert RAW files exactly same with default settings as in-camera Fuji process. I would suspect that Silkypix will be closest, but it is still miles away from beautiful X-E1 JPEGs. For X100 I used workaround of ...

Gday. I had to update my LR3 to LR4 since Adobe didn't make a newer ACR (adobe camera raw) that would support the 6d (ACR for LR4) LR4 is good for playing with colours and exposure. It's pretty useless for image masks and fancy photoshoppy stuff. So both programs are useful to have. DPP is also useful to have as its quick preview is super quick. If I ...

"Am I going to loose any power of RAW file by not making any adjustments in CameraRaw but postponing it to Photoshop?" Yes. Wikipedia: "a raw digital image may have a wider dynamic range or color gamut than the eventual final image format" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format Just make a copy of the original file and do a basic exposure test - ...

Itai has given you the correct answer - but there is also another way of thinking - with the same result. By upsizing an image you will invariably add some blur - no matter how sharp the original image is. (How visible the blur is, is another matter depending on the algorithm used and amount of magnification.) Thus if you were to sharpen first and then ...

Using the Monitor RGB profile to display an image on a monitor calibrated to use the same profile is equivalent to turning off calibration, are you sure this is what you want? You can turn off Proof Colors in the View menu while editing . It's not necessary to keep turned on unless you are proofing an image for a specific viewing environment/print setup, ...

First off, if you want accurate color rendition on your screens, you need to properly calibrate them. Regardless of what configuration you may apply to any tool, without a properly calibrated screen, its all kind of moot. You can get hardware calibrators like the Spyder 3 from DataColor or the iOne or ColorMunki from X-Rite. All of them will do a great job ...

Okay, I'm going to add this as an answer, since it's an option that's very similar to what you're doing anyways... Pentax supports both PEF and DNG, and the PEF format is compressed. The Adobe converter will convert PEF over to DNG, with compression, and then there's the ExifTool that you can use to ensure that the metadata is copied over (see the FAQ for ...

I'm not sure that what you want is exactly possible, because Photoshop doesn't edit the file as a RAW file but rasterizes it and then allows you to edit it. You can try the following technique and it should work almost the way you want. In Camera Raw, you will see at the bottom it shows the image's profile in blue text. Something like Adobe RGB (1998); 8 ...

After you make your adjustments in ACR, press Shift and then instead of Open Image, you'll see Open Object. That will create the layer as a smart object and you can then go back to ACR from that smart object layer. I believe you'd have to have known to do that from the start. I'm not aware of anyway to reopen a layer in ACR after the fact if you haven't ...

Capture One supports the E-PL2 as does Bibble though neither are free. Trial versions are available, though, so you can at least test them out. You never know, you may prefer them. I suspect that your codec isn't working for one of the following: Not 64 bit on a 64 bit Windows platform E-PL2 format not actually supported Did you get the codec from the ...

The E-PL2 is not supported by Adobe Camera Raw prior to version 6.4 (for Lightroom 3.4). In order to import raw files for the E-PL2, you should first update to Lightroom 3.4 or later. Prior to Lightroom 3.4: One workaround is to change the exif data to show the camera as an E-PL1, but this may not actually provide perfect support, as it is possible that ...
