Jaap,

Yes, exactly, that is my point. Better to be working in the larger space than inadvertently working in the smaller colorspace.

Also, make sure to check the little boxes so that you are warned of mismatches, etc.

 

After reading some more of this thread I see, what seems to me, your original post is directed at the novice (First time user) of any PS version. Because if you have used PS in the past and know anything about it you know to make those changes as soon as it is installed along with other changes to make the program work the way you want it to.

 

I will be upgrading to CS5 from CS4 as soon as it is available in a box. Did the download thing with CS4 and I'd rather have a CD/DVD of the program. Along with the fact I can buy it cheaper from a reseller and not pay tax on it. I will make those and other changes as soon as it is up and running.

You get something close to a 15% discount if you are a NAPP member and order through the NAPP site.

Evidently if you call Adobe and tell them you are a NAPP member it is closer to 20%.

It refuses to open a RAW file if the file is on a removable disk. If the file is dragged to the desktop, THEN it will open it.

 

Depending on what make the RAW file is that could be the problem. For ACR to save the changes made to certain RAW file formats, without changing the file itself, it must create a XMP sidecard file that stores the changes. Could be your card reader, card, is somehow write protected or the OS is write protecting it.

Just a thought.

No, the compact flash card in my card reader.

 

Andy I tried this and can read .dng files directly off the SD card in my card reader via double clicking the file from Bridge, which then opens ACR. Maybe you have a conflict going on somewhere else that is slowing CS5 and stopping you?

With CS3 I can drag a .nef directly from the CF card onto the dock icon and have it open ACR for processing. I just the same way I can drag an image directly from Safari to open it in PS

 

it might be the writing of the side file, but the card isn't write protected

 

I don't use Bridge, and would normally use Aperture, but it was very handy to be able to just open an individual file, without importing it properly. Oh well. Progress..,

DNG file are different then other RAW files. With a DNG the changes get saved to the file itself. With other RAW file ACR must create a sidecar file.
