LR4 and Cache folder Camera RAW

Hi all

I know that many are complaining about the LR4 responsiveness and how LR3 was faster in response.

Like many others, I have a new and very fast PC, but apparently LR4 crawling when it comes to navigtaing through images.

I've done my share of tweaking LR4 for best results optimized such as catalogues Optimize, Render 1:1 previews, increase the Camera Raw cache of 30 GB size, move the folder, camera Raw Cache next to the catalog folder as Adobe recommends and what not.

LR4 has become more sensitive, but I noticed something strange, which is the subject of this post.

While filddeling autour with LR4 performance issues on my PC, I noticed that even if I have more than 20,000 images in my PC and some files are rendered with 1:1 previews, the Camera Raw Cache folder is empty.

This could explain why render 1:1 previews did not affect LR4 while browsing through the images.

For example, just after I created 1:1 previews (whether any right of importation or after the fact) I'm back navigation during this action of navigation, LR4 makes 2 images every time I discover them--which beats the purpose of using the cache file.

Thus it comes to think how, even with such a catalog size and raw camera remains empty 1:1 previews, the cache folder? And this could be the cause that makes LR4 make every single picture over and over again without worrying if I saw the picture a second ago?

Thank you.

Gil.

There you go then.

LR does not need to use the Camera Raw cache folder because there is storage essentially the same data that would be stored in the folder cache directly in the file itself. "Fast loading data" Google and you should find a reasonable amount of information on the subject. This also rules out this folder specific as being a source of any performance issues, you may face, as implied by another poster.

    Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for RAW files. I have 8.7 DNG, but I was wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon thanks for all the tips

    Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the last version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 Novemder 18 2014.

    New updates for LR 4 were arrested when LR 5 was released on June 9, 2013. No other updates of bug fixes and new camera support.

    Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced on the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was arrested.

    You can use the Adobe DNG (free download for packing) program to convert your Nikon D750 Nef (raw) files in Adobe's DNG format which will allow you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow the processing of raw files with versions out-of-date LR and ACR.

    You can also update the ACR for PS CS6 version 8.7 plugin that can also work with the raw files of the D750. For direct support in Lightroom, you will need to upgrade (paying) to version 5.7.

    Hi tonyf,.

    Greetings!

    Each device is compatible with a minimum version of camera raw.

    Here is the complete list: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

    Please check if you have this version of the camera installed which include your raw files.

    It would also be that your photoshop will not have to install this version of camera raw as its very old.

    In this case, you can convert your raw files to DNG and can use it.

    To convert the files to DNG, you must download and install the DNG Converter.

    Here is the link:

  • Ideas to explain why, when you work with raw files in LR 2015 with Edit in PS 2015 and use the Camera Raw filter, the profile in the Lens Correction Panel tab is missing

    Ideas to explain why, when you work with raw files in LR 2015 with Edit in PS 2015 and use the Camera Raw filter, the profile in the Lens Correction Panel tab is missing? Mac OS X 10.10.5.  I reinstalled the OS and Lightroom and PS, nothing helps.

    Hi ParadigmRose,

    This is expected as profile tab behavior does not appear under Lens Correction Panel if you go to Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop

    However, profile tab would be there if you open a raw image directly in camera raw first.

    You can go to the filter menu > Lens correction in Photoshop, if you want to search for profiles with edit in Photoshop.

    Kind regards

  • I downloaded and installed the camera Raw 8.8 and ORF files that will always open in Lightroom 5.7.

    I downloaded and installed the camera Raw 8.8 and ORF files that will always open in Lightroom 5.7.  The files were made using the new Olympus E - M5 II, who is on the list of supported devices.  When I run Lightroom and check the on the screen, it says it's Lightroom version 5.7, but Camera Raw 8.7 despite my having upgraded to 8.8.  I use a MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.5 Please advise on how to import and use ORF files in Lightroom.

    The files were made using the new Olympus E - M5 II, who is on the list of supported devices.

    Yes, this camera is supported by Camera Raw 8.8.

    Camera Raw plugin | Supported devices

    However, the required 'Version of Lightroom Minimum' column is empty. Lightroom does not yet support it.

    Like the so-called Warunicorn, Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw using Photoshop plugin. It uses its own Raw conversion engine so you have to wait for an update of Lightroom separate for this camera edit Raw files in Lightroom. Or use the DNG Converter and work with the DNG in Lightroom.

  • can I send the photo of the v4 of lightroom to photoshop cs6 and open in camera raw?

    Hello

    I have the latest version of lightroom v4 64 and photoshop cs6 64 updates

    I would like to send raw from lightroom file in photoshop without converting them to the psd or tiff, but I want to send lightoom to the photoshop raw file

    In short, open the image in camera raw from lightroom

    can I do it?

    Thank you

    but I can not imply acr in photoshop

    I mean, I can't see cab but like all the other pictures

    Maybe I should send it as smartobject from lightroom to photoshop, so I can click twice to open the cab

    Yes, in this case what you want is a dynamic object. Photo > edit in > open as smart object in Photoshop. It's the only way you're ever going to see the ACR plugin.

  • I have VM working in LR and I want to open an image in camera Raw. Is this possible? Now I can open only the photo in PS and not in camera raw

    See the title.

    I'm totally agree dj. but, although some are not aware, that many others simply enjoy additional work.  I use smart after treatment in LR objects, so that after making changes in Photoshop, if I discovered that he had to go back to LR do some additional settings, rather than changing the programs, I can do the extra work in PS Camera Raw.

  • Curious question about previews of Lightroom and Camera Raw Cache

    Posted in the Flickr Lightroom group as well:

    I noticed something on the previews of Lightroom (3.6) and cache Camera Raw, intrigued me.

    I create a new, empty catalog, and purge the Cache of Camera Raw.

    Then I import ONE Nikon (NEF) RAW file with dimensions 2592 x 3872 (10 mega pixels - 10,036,224).

    Then I export this NEF file to a TIFF 8-bit file uncompressed. You can expect this file size TIFF about 30 MB (10 megapixels x 3 bytes per RGB value) and in fact the TIFF file is size of 30,135,830 bytes. If you export the TIFF file same ZIP compression to specify the size of the resulting file is 10,834,038 bytes. The compression achieved here is obviously going to be highly specific to the image, but so far no surprises.

    When you import I said make 1:1 previews and I spend in the Loupe and see the whole picture in the format 1:1. I also visit the development module and do a lot of manipulation on the image but not cropping.

    At the conclusion of all this, I got out of Lightroom and examine file camera Raw Cache as well as previews of Lightroom file size. It would be my expectation that the previews folder should have a complete image rendering and Camera Raw Cache should also have a display form of raw data. What do you expect the size of these respective folders to be?

    Indeed - in my tests that the previews folder totals a simple 1 675 264 bytes and Camera Raw Cache that contains an image DAT file cached one is simply 267 374 bytes. This doesn't seem like enough bits to preserve the image rendered, nor there at - it an image is full-size, nestled in the actual catalog - the file is not large enough to hold that. And yet I can use the magnifying glass to the format 1:1 mode and move an image to the image without loading delays (even when you import multiple files).

    I wonder if I missed something obvious in my analysis and that, if someone might not care to speculate on what magic Adobe's practice here. Even if grant us them special algorithms to compress their insights that I don't see how they can achieve a compression so much larger than the file ZIP compressed TIFF realizes.

    And for those who might think to ask - I have told these experiences with multiple raw images and on MAC or PC platforms.

    I look forward to answers or interesting theories or maybe someone could reproduce the results of the experiment and report.

    The previews in the preview cache are JPEG files. JPEG compression is much more effective than the lossless zip compression. No magic here.

    Mr. Chan is obviously the expert on regards to the Camera Raw Cache.

  • Camera Raw Versions and PSE

    On my Windows 7 PC, I installed (and have a license for) among others the PSE V10 and V12 PSE.  On my PC, when you edit a NAVE of Nikon, PSE V10 uses Camera Raw 6.4.1 and PSE V12 Camera Raw 8.2.

    Given that on my C drive, I see only one copy of a folder named "NIKON D5000" (this file is in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\Camera Profiles\Camera), I have the impression that 6.4.1 versions and Version 8.2 Camera Raw share identical patterns of the camera.   This impression/assumption is correct?

    Question No. 1: Can I conclude, that (as the two Raw camera Version share the same camera profile folders), if I buy a Nikon D5300 (which gets officially supported by Camera Raw 8.n (n is probably equal to or greater than 3)), which once Camera Raw 8.n (n = > 3) will be installed on my PC (because it will be the camera Raw Version supported / used by PSE V12) , I'll be able to deal with my future D5300 Nef files both with the combination of PSE V10 Camera Raw 6.4.1 and the combination of PSE V12 and Camera Raw 8.n (although officially, Camera RAW 6.4.1 does not support the D5300)? Thank you very much in advance for your answer.

    Question 2: Can someone point me to a downloadable file of the NAVE photographed by the Nikon D7100?
    I'll then download this NEF file and see if I can deal with the combination of PSE V10 and Camera Raw 6.4.1. This will allow me to check the answer to question 1. Thank you very much in advance for your answer

    N ° they are two separate applications and have cameras different gross plugins. You may be able to copy the file Camera Raw.8bi of PSE12 to PSE10 although some versions of the PSE reject the subsequent updates.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Camera RAW 6.6

    My other significant just bought a camera Nikon 1 V1. I have an extra copy of 9 elements that I can install on his computer. According to the Release Notes, support for the Nikon 1 V1 began with the ACR 6.6. According to the same Notes, ACR 6.6 runs under Photoshop Elements 9.

    "This new plug-in Camera Raw version replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements 9 and first Elements 9."

    and

    "The camera Raw plugin 6.6 is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS5 or versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows and Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac."

    Update to Photoshop Elements page, however, suggest that ACR 6.5 was the latest version of ACR that ran under Photoshop Elements 9. http://www.Adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40 & Platform = Windows

    That is correct, the Release Notes or the Update Page?

    After the installation of photoshop elements 9 on the vista machine, follow the steps below to install the plugin 6.6 camera raw:

    1 download the DNG 6.6 converter and install profiles:

  • Clear the Cache in Adobe Camera Raw library

    Hi there ~

    I've seen similar questions, but not a definitive answer...

    Currently, on my Macbook Pro, my:

    Users-> Lv4Tunes-> library-> cache-> Adobe Camera Raw file is 85 g.

    My hard drive is only 200 GB... and I'm almost at capacity.

    My Lightroom library lives on an external hard drive and my backup of this library is on another external hard drive.

    Can I remove the ths cache Adobe Camera Raw without losing any data?

    Thank you for the information, it is appreciated.

    The safest way to do this would be to purge the cache of the cab and set its limit at a lower amount of disk space in the preferences:

    This will result in some slight slow to develop at the beginning, otherwise no impact. A reasonable size depends on the size of your images, but usually a size of 20 to 50 GB is recommended.
