Update to Camera Raw 7.0??

Jan 31, 2012 6:28 AM

There is a bug that seems to occur randomly when I go to edit in CS5 from LR4. 

 

I get a window that asks me to update to Camera Raw 7.  There are a series of buttons re: 'how to proceed.'  After checking for an update, it's pretty clear that this is a LR4 issue. 

 

I'm not sure if this matters, but I thought you might like to know about this.

    Camera raw 7.0 will come along with CS6. When this happens, the LR  and the ACR raw engines will once again match up.

    Anthony,

     

    Can I just be clear on what you are saying.  Are you saying there will be no Camera Raw updates until CS6 is released?

    If so how will CS5 etc handle compatibility with the new processing (eg PV2012)?

     

    Or are you saying that there will not be a Camera Raw 7.0 release before CS6 but there may an interim update to 6.6.

     

      

    What is the source of your information?

     

    Cheers,

    Myke

    That's what I understand. No guarantees on the interim update, but it happened when LR3 was released.

    Camera Raw 7.0 will be released when Photoshop CS6 is released, and will not be compatible with any previous versions of Photoshop.  That simply means that you would have to either upgrade or tell Lightroom not to display that message again.  Then it would be necessary to have Lightroom create a PSD or TIF image and pass that to Photoshop.  That method seems to work just fine.  That's how I was using Lightroom 3 with Photoshop CS3 before I upgraded my Photoshop.  And that's how I will use Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 because I don't have any plans to upgrade.  I don't use Photoshop enough to justify another upgrade at this point.  Lightroom is what I use for practically all of my post processing.

    As Jim said ACR 7.xx will come with CS6. The release date cannot be that far away (no, I don't have any inside knowledge) and I would be surprised if there were any more point versions - we are currently *on* 6.6 by the way. LR4 is still in beta and therefore Jim's workaround is acknowledged to be what one has to do at present. Once CS6 and LR4 are released, the camera raw engines in both products will align and be compatible once more. Bear in mind the current versions: CS5(5.5) and LR3.6 are fully compatible.

     

    Anthony.

    This does not seem to be true.

    I have pre-release test version of ACR 7 and it installs and work just fine in Photoshop CS5, so hopefully at least ACR 7.0 will be compatible with CS5.

    But future versions of ACR 7.x may or may not be compatible, this is not known for sure.

    If Camera Raw 7.0 is compatible with Photoshop CS5 after it has been officially released, it will be the first time that has ever happened.  Adobe has never in the past done that, and I would certainly be surprised if they did that now.  However, I'm only guessing based on past experience.  I have no official information from anywhere.  So, hope on!  Maybe it really is the dawn of a new age.
