Photoshop :: Converted Raw (or DNG) Will Not Open In ACR
May 3, 2013
I open a .NEF in Bridge, go into ACR and open the file as a Smart Object in Photoshop. Double-click the layer icon and I'm back in ACR, just like all the demos and seminars I've watched. But, take the SAME .NEF in Bridge and open it as a standard image in Photoshop, then CONVERT it to a smart object, double-click the layer icon and all I get is a .psd and NOT jump into ACR. It does exactly the same thing with a .dng file And from Lightroom OR ACR...
I found an entry from a discussion (not in here, I couldn't find anything about this in here) about CS3 (yes 3), where a user had this problem and was told it's because the original image was opened as a rasterized image, NOT as a Smart Object from ACR... Which isn't making sense to me 'cause who cares what it was way back when, it's NOW a Smart Object and should be treated like one no matter HOW it got there...
Is there some preference or setting or something I need to change in Photoshop so this will work as expected is is there really some restriction about exactly HOW the Smart Object got created? And if so, is there some paragraph is big, bold letters in the documentation that makes it really clear to the uninformed that you MUST open it as a Smart Object or it won't work?
And yes, I KNOW that in ACR I can set it so it defaults to opening as a Smart Object, but like many other PS users I normally use Lightroom and I haven't seen any such default. Which means it's REALLY easy to forget to go down to the Open as Smart Object and instead just hit Open in Photoshop...
I have to open the files which are converted from Unigraphics NX6, and run some routines, but I am not able to open the Autocad through .net api, my code is as follows
Dim Filename As String = OpenFileToConvert.FileName ' I am selecting the Dwg through OpenFileDialog Dim acDocMgr As DocumentCollection = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager acDocMgr.Open(Filename, False)
Even if I open the dwg manually and then save it again to Autocad, I am not able to achieve any success.
I use Canon 60D and normally shoot in mRAW. I am considering a move to DNG conversion so I did some test conversions and was amazed to find that, far from reducing the size of my mRAW files, it increased them by about 60%. I repeated the exercise with RAW files and found that this did reduce the size of the files by over 10%. In fact, i ended up with the crazy situation where the DNG files converted from mRAW were much bigger than those converted from RAW.
Below are some sample sizes based on Medium previews, Embed fast load data - YES, Embed original RAW file - NO, Compatibility Camera Raw 7.1 and later
in photoshop CS4, I use Adobe RGB (1998) as my working profile. I open a document, I change it's profile from RGB, using "view"-"mode", to anything else, say Lab, and everything is fine up to now, but then I undo the change, and what I get is a darker image than before. I don't get the original image I opened. Same thing happens if I use the "convert to profile" option also.
I close the image and reopen it, it still looks darker. I restart photoshop and open the image, only then I get the original image with normal colors again. This happens only when I convert back to RGB, not from RGB and not between any other profiles.
at some point, change the color profile from RGB to any other profile and then back to RGB the image looks darker, and the only way to fix this is restarting photoshop. this didn't happen in any versions before cs4, what should I do?
PS5 Vista. After a layer is converted for smart filters, the whole image still must be made 8 bit to apply a smart filter only to the converted layer, which defeats the purpose of the layer conversion and the utility of smart filters. I would like the rest of the image to remain 16 bit.
After creating an animated GIF with Image Reader, I saved as optimized GIF, and uploaded the GIF to an ad server. However, after I posted it to the ad server, it wasn't working...and the properties show that it was converted to a PNG.
My Question:
Was this conversion a result of something I did...or something that needs to be taken care of by the host of the ad server?
My friend created a flyer for me in photoshop and sent it to me as a JPEG. I converted to a PSD in my Photoshop Elements 10, but I cannot edit anything in it?
I have a huge number of photos in an Elements 9 catalog. Having downloaded the trial version of Elements 11 and opted to convert the catalog, I see that the 'people' tags now don't show. I know there is the new 'people' feature in v11, but I'd like to have the old people tags available there for clicking as well!
In photoshop cs5 when i convert an image i am working on from RGB to CMYK i get a white glaze over the image? as if i have added a photo filter or something? do you know how to prevent this on a mac computer?
Getting the following message when dragging layers between files - Could not complete your request because an adjustment or fill layer cannot be converted to the destination document mode. Original file was client created and supplied. I have isolated the issue- two hue/saturation adjustment layers. I can and will just recreate them in the new file, but am looking for a root cause or long term solution as it is a new client I believe will be sending me a good amount of production work.
So, after many trials and studying websites that take images seriously on different monitors I'm considering giving up trying to get converted sRGB images from my wide gamut monitor to look good in my browser. Sure if you convert to sRGB, in a wide gamut setup, the image will look good on old monitors.
BUT it won't look good on the new ones. Nobody talks about that. It really seems that some of the high end coporate sites are already converting to adobeRGB and putting images on the web that are converted to AdobeRGB and not sRGB. The photos look great in my browser on my wide gamut monitor and those sites' photos seem washed out on the sRGB monitors I used on the same sites.
There is no way for me to know for sure sinced the images are untagged but when I download them and apply the AdobeRGB profile to them, it looks just like in the browser. The sRGB profile washes out the image. Look at [URL] ....
I've opted for 3D scan of a part, it is Shoe Horn. And the scaned people sent me an .igs format and I requested them to mail me .dwg format to work with ACAD2007. Accordingly they too converted .igs to .dwg, but the converted .dwg file is unable to convert into surface or solid, once if it could be converted in surface or solid only we can do further development.
convert this into surface or solid. make this as surface or solid model, to work further with ACAD 2007.
I just switched from a PC (XP) to an iMac (Lion), and have gotten all of the pictures and catalog moved over. HOwever, none of the previews show. When I go to develop mode, picture opens, preview generated: But, when I then switch to another file, the preview seems to disappear and has to be regenerated each time.
When opening a prior version CDR the RGB black text is converted to CMYK, othere RGB objects remain RGB. This is a big problem for me as printed blacks will be dark brown not K.
Used audacity to convert an mp3 selection to wav for use in my PRO 2X project and it plays perfectly as an audio clip. However, when I switch to "project" mode, it skips in several places. I've tried deleting it and starting over, but no luck.
Could I have messed something up during the audacity process? I've done it before and haven't had problems. I REALLY want to use this piece of music in my project.
i'm using Autocad2012 now. when i use paste special in objects and give x or y insertion scale. after i do explode that object the arcs are converted in to ellipses and it come with ellipse grips. before 2012 version it won't happen. what's the change in autocad 2012? is there any variable to change?
My client needs an a3 drawing I drew converted into a PDF so he can print the PDF off to the correct scale.
I created the pdf in autocad 2012 to A3 size and a scale of 1:1. I emailed the PDF to my client who now says that the PDF is not to the correct scale when he prints it, I instructed him to select the 'actual size' option he then said it cut off the drawing at either end of the drawing. He getting very angry now. He wants to be able to open the PDF press print and it to print out to scale.
I have a 2d dxf file (attached) that i need to somehow convert into a 3d file with a material thickness of .75 inches (a piece of wood) so that the cnc can cut it it keeps giving me an error of no thickness in the machine.
I created an assembly for a customer of mine who wants a STL of a sword for a possible 3D print situation. I created the part in inches and finished it. When I converted I made sure the document units were set to inches and the export options were as well. However whenever they upload it or check it in other software it is coming up miniscule like it was drawn in mm or cm. I have gone through a number of forums and updated to the latest service pack without issue. Is the issue related to the fact its an assembly being converted to an STL? I have done it before without issue. I have attached the STL in question.
I have taken this sketch (jpeg) converted to .eps and performed a live trace in illustrator. I then go to live paint to select areas to fill with different colors, but the whole image is selected. It could have to do with me not being able to separate into layers before the trace, but i'm not too sure where i am going wrong here. I've watched several tutorials on turning sketches into vector files, but obviously im missing a step.
I uploaded the Camera Raw update for a new Nikon P7100 to Lightroom 3 on Mac 10,7,4, but when the pics come up they're extremely noisy. When converted from RAW to jpg the noise remains.
No problem with JPGs. Same pics from the camera in RAW are fine on the Nikon viewer, so it seems to be a Lightroom mismatch.
i converted 1,900 images to dng from raw in lightroom to make shure the 2 weeks 62 hours of work croping & adjusting to be perfect to give bride & groom would be saved but there is no adjustments to them when i open photos where are all my adjustments. find xmp sidecar.
I have just received back a 15min 8mm movie from a film transfer company. They suggested for editing purposes that it has been transferred as a AVI file.
Having transferred the AVI file to my Video folder in Windows 7 i have tried to enter the file into Coral Video studio 12 by right clicking on the time line, this will not open the file for me to edit.
The file plays straight from the disc ok on the computer ok but does freezes intermittently. the file size is 3.36Gb
I have posted before about not being able to open X5 and receiving a "Coreldraw has encountered a problem and needs to close." error message upon launch. I have not been able to resolve this issue.
I have to work on a graphic file and need it converted top X3 (this version opens) as it was created in X5.
