Do I need the Adobe RAW plugin?

I recently downloaded Lightroom (current version). Photographer friends tell me that I need the "Adobe RAW Plugin" to process my RAW files before using Lightroom - but they use Photoshop Lightroom not. As I read the RAW page, it seems that this feature is native in Lightroom and I don't need a separate application? I am able to open my RAW files in Lightroom and treat them. Is there a reason I don't want to use the RAW plugin too? First? Instead? I'm confused.

This aspect causes a lot of confusion.

  • Lightroom can be used alone to manage, modify / adjust and print / export versions processed photos.
  • LR (in general) can adjust the appearance of a photo, but cannot change the content of a photo.
  • Change the photo, LR so can't do, can be outsourced to another (external) image editing program.
  • Photoshop is an example of an external editor, but there are other alternatives.
  • LR can talk either directly and "classically" a program Editor (first making a standard TIFF file for this to work and reading and then later in some changes were recorded in this)-ACR does not (completely irrelevant for this scenario);
  • OR another scenario is for LR to work with Photoshop in particular, offering few additional working methods (Adobe owner). This option is based on PS and Adobe Camera Raw, being present, in versions that are at least contemporary with LR.
  • When LR detects that this is the case, he adopts as a default method for external mounting.
  • When LR detects that this isn't the case, it greys options - for individual images: Edit in PS as smart object, or for multiple images: Edit in PS as layers / Photomerge / HDR. And he then uses only the direct method, in which ACR is not involved. Photoshop is used then not differently would have another program.
  • ACR is installed automatically with Photoshop and can be upgraded later to the more recent drafts within the PS: only up to a point, within this specific 'generation' of PS.
  • Once the PS goes to a new 'generation', then it would eventually be required to qualify for all newer versions of ACR. Also, therefore, to return to par with the all-new 'generation' of LR and once again enjoy the range of work for this partnership options.
  • The composition of the creative cloud keeps everything functioning optimally, while keeping up to date together.

  • Numeric keypad is not working properly with the Adobe Reader Plugin

    Greetings;

    I had this strange problem with several workstations where the numeric keypad does not work correctly when you open a PDF file via the web browser. Things, I tested and noted:

    -Regardless of the State of the numlock (or disable) keys act as if NUMLOCK is off. Based on 9 and 3 will cause the page up and page down respectively. Striking at 7-4 will cause beginning and end to occur etc. 0 creates the ~ while the symbol of the keys work as expected.

    -The numeric keypad works on other programs. The numeric keypad works even in the same browser, you opened the PDF file but not in the actual form.

    -The numeric keypad works if you save and open the same PDF file in Adobe Reader, but does not work with the plugin.

    -Seems not to matter of this PDF it is, regardless of who seem to have made it (I used PDF files from the DMV and other sites of the Government for tests). The problem persists despite everything.

    -It doesn't seem to matter what browser you use. I saw this happen to IE10, IE11 (32 or 64-bit), and Chrome. I have tried Firefox, but I imagine that the problem will be the same if you are using the Adobe Reader Plugin.

    -It does not matter what version of the player. I saw the same problem with drive DC 10 and 11.

    -J' ran these without any add-ons or plug-ins and the problem persists.

    -J' I reset the browser settings, reset the default values, cleared the cache.

    -Disconnect the keyboard and moving to a different USB port allows you to use the numeric keypad as usual, but once you restart the issue will resume.

    -Uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver allows you to use the numeric keypad as usual, but once you restart the issue will resume.

    -J' tried the official and generic keyboard drivers.

    -J' tried different keyboards from different manufacturers.

    -PDF viewer of Chrome or another Viewer PDF/writer will work. But unfortunately, this isn't a solution for us because of the site we access performs a check if the plugin is Adobe Reader. If it's not Adobe Reader, it does not display the PDF file.

    -J' have enabled Mode Touch in Reader.

    -I was not able to test this on one other operating system other than Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    -I can put it so the browser opens the PDF file directly to the Adobe Reader app, it's not quite a solution perfect for us because it create additional steps for our users to submit PDF files.


    I'm quite lost and would like to get help from the community. Thank you very much.



    Fixed my own problem. I answer this with a resolution:

    The question is the Protected Mode. You can find this setting in Adobe Reader. Preferences > Security > uncheck Protected Mode. In Adobe Reader X, you can find it under general.

    You don't need to restart your system.

  • The Adobe Flash plugin broke down even after that I do exactly as told on aid

    I get "the Adobe Acrobat plugin broke down." no matter how many times I reload the page or download the plug in. On my plugin page Check the download says it's up-to-date. I hate IE, but am forced to use it for the sites where this is happening to me. I have FF 10.0.2. This never happened with previous versions of FF.

    Let's run through a few things here to get your flash work:

    First of all, download and run the Flash uninstall program: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html. You probably want the 64-bit version. After that worked, restart your computer, and then we will upload a new version of Flash. Try to download and install it from here.

    Once you have flash installed again, start Firefox and see if you get any errors. If it works, great, if not, let's move on.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode (do not select one of the boxes that appear). If the Flash works here, so it's one of your addons that causes a problem.

    If we are still a problem, try to update your graphics driver.

    If none of these work, read the Troubleshooting plugins section and let me know!

  • What installation version of the Camera Raw Plugin 9.1.1 or 9.4 for Photoshop Elements serve as Canon 5 d R?

    I have a v8 of Camera Raw (CR) and 12 elements of Photoshop (with the latest updates). V8 does not work for files Raw of CR of the Canon 5DSR.  Adobe site says CR v9 is suitable for Canon 5 d R but I see the available two - which do I need?

    Unfortunately, 12 elements Photoshop is compatible with Camera Raw to version 8.5.

    Camera Raw plugin and Adobe application compatibility

    So there's no way of 12 items, open the Raw files of 5DSR.

    Options:

    1. Upgrade to the 14 elements, or
    2. Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the 5DSR of the Raw files to DNG, then open the DNG files in 12 items. An extra step for you, but no extra costs.

  • Update the Adobe Flash plugin always translates into a connection error

    Firefox quote plugin Adobe Flash as being outdated (has happened several times previously); the latest version of the plugin is downloaded (as done successfully many times before). This time, a connection error occurs. Repeat the process several times over several days gives the same results.

    More in detail, the smallest prior download EXE which is first downloaded from the Adobe site is able to be downloaded, but by operating it said something like "Download will begin shortly," with the download of the application itself never occurring, and a later message connection error.

    Although there seems to be a problem with Adobe, I suppose that other Firefox users would have also encountered this problem and he may know a solution.

  • The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed! Help please.

    I can not load any flash content in Firefox. Instantly, I get the following error message: "the Adobe's Flash plugin broke down. Reload the page to try again. ».
    So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, restarted my computer and disabled acceleration hardware everything to nothing does not. Any help would be appreciated.

    It is a standard orientation that addresses the most common reasons for problems of Flash in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

    (1) make sure that all recorders/downloaders who interact with the Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or turn them off. It could be modules or they could be external software.

    (2) disable graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox and Flash

    (A) in Firefox, uncheck the box here and restart:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced > General > "use hardware acceleration when available.

    (B) in Flash, see this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    (3) turn off protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

  • How can I REMOVE the Adobe Acrobat Plugin.

    Whenever I have click on [disable] and then restart FF, he's back, still running.
    I don't want Acrobat, because I prefer to use Foxit Reader.

    The button in the Addons Manager is [disable] seems not be a [uninstall] or [delete this plugin] option. Or acrobat adobe appears in Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    Neither fact I even install it in the first place. (Must have been filled by another application)

    Whatever it is, I want that he went. Please tell me where stores FF addons, and what file to delete to get rid of this annoying nuisance.

    OK, in this case we will remove the plugin manually:

    • First enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named plugin.expose_full_path. Double-click it and change its value to true.
    • then enter topic: plugins in the location bar, there should be a file-full path shown next to the addon adcrobat obsolete
    • Use windows Explorer to navigate to this path and delete the file nppdf32.dll
    • then restart firefox and the plugin should be gone.
