1. Re: Using Smart Filters to keep Camera Raw and filter plug-ins access
Jeff Schewe Aug 21, 2011 8:37 PM (in response to BJBBJB1)To use Camera Raw in Smart Objects from Lightroom you must have the equivilent ACR/LR versions...otherwise, you will need to have LR render the image and that defeats the purpose of a SO.
To a large extent, a Smart Object workflow can be handy for going back into ACR to make upstream image adgustments...but there is a price to pay–file size. SOs and Smart Filters are very CPU intensive and the resulting file grows exponentially...
Yes, it's doable...sometimes not worth the pain.

2. Re: Using Smart Filters to keep Camera Raw and filter plug-ins access
BJBBJB1 Aug 22, 2011 4:32 PM (in response to Jeff Schewe)Jeff,
Thanks, I do have the same version of ACR in LR3 and CS5.x.
I am willing to deal with the larger file sizes. So the question is, how do I do it from either within PS or from Lightroom?
Do I need 2 layers, one for the ACR smartfilter and one for my NIK filters. Can I do it with one?
