Advertisement Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Hi Guest farbtupfer, Take a look here Adobe Camera RAW 5.2 available. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Shootist Posted November 25, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2008 Something is really screwy with this download when you use PS CS4 updater and that the last update I did for CS4, which was last night, made CS4 use 50% CPU cycles all the time even when not doing anything in PS. The downlaod for ACR 5.2 is 70.5MB when using the Update feature inside PS CS4. When downloading the file from your link the ZIP file is 40.1MB. ACR is 11+MB in size. I un-zipped it and the update includes camera profiles and a Win64 version. So that is part of the reason it is such a big download. Just wish Adobe fixes CS4 so it doesn't use 50% CPU cycles all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted November 25, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 25, 2008 apart from the camera's supported: any changes in the raw conversion bit? yes I know: go there, read the website ... just quick and curious. Marco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted November 25, 2008 Share #4 Posted November 25, 2008 apart from the camera's supported: any changes in the raw conversion bit? yes I know: go there, read the website ... just quick and curious. Marco Yes there is a extra button in ACR that I didn't notice before, not that is wasn't there before I just don't remember it (That's not saying much as the other day I couldn't remember if I had actually washed when I stepped out of the shower). Localized Adjustments. I haven't tried it out but it looks like you select an area and can do adjustments only on that area. I found out what was eating 50% of my CPU cycles, actuall fully maxing out, 100%, one core of my Core 2 Duo CPU. Seems that either my video card is to old, 2+ years old with 256MB RAM using the newest NVidia drivers, to correctly use the Open GL features of PS CS4 or that feature in CS4 has major bugs. Once I disabled Open GL it stopped eating CPU cycles. Funny but I thought that option was supposed to move certain things over to the Video card, not eat CPU cycles of the main processor.

Marquinius Posted November 25, 2008 Share #5 Posted November 25, 2008 Yes there is a extra button in ACR that I didn't notice before, not that is wasn't there before I just don't remember it (That's not saying much as the other day I couldn't remember if I had actually washed when I stepped out of the shower). What? About the CPU usage: I had a problem like that with my Imac. Turned out that the adobe updater kicked in whatever I wanted or tried and really stopped everything cold. Only by actually going into the process and deleting that, I got my speed back. Lots of information on the web, real bug. After a while I took the whole updater from the hard disk. Later it turned up again as an addition to acrobat reader. Ripped it off again. Perhaps you have a similar issue: google on "adobe updater" +CPU +slow or some such. regards, Marco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoshop.exe was using 50%, which was 100% of one core. In the Task Manager, Performance tab, one core (CPU) was spiked at 100% causing a total slowdown. I have the Auto Update ANYTHING/EVERYTHING turned completely off for my whole PC. I totally hate Auto Update not matter whether it for MS stuff or any other brand of software. Just a total waist of computer resources to have them running all the time and you never know what they are downloading and installing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted November 25, 2008 Share #7 Posted November 25, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Old timers disease or not: I wasn't talking about the auto updater in general... I really meant the adobe thingy itself. If we're talking about the same thing: get used to working slowly If not: go find the adobe updater and kill it.

If we're talking about the same thing: get used to working slowly If not: go find the adobe updater and kill it. What I meant was no Auto Update program/service/whatever runs on my PC. Adobe Auto Updater does not run on my PC. It was not that process/program/whatever that was causing the high CPU usage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted November 25, 2008 Share #9 Posted November 25, 2008 OK, OK, OK, this was only MY old timers disease showing through Hey, you could always go out and buy an Apple ... not that it helps, but it sure feels good. C U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted November 25, 2008 Share #10 Posted November 25, 2008 It's important to note that you can only update if you have CS4. The new ACR update is not supported by CS3 and lower. So if you are on the list for the new 5D Mark II which is supposed to be shipping in the US this week, you have to update to CS4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 25, 2008 Share #11 Posted November 25, 2008 Or use the DNG converter to convert the 5D mk II files to a format CS3 can read. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows for sure if Adobe will update ACR 4.x for current cameras. LR 2 still uses a version of ACR 4.x. But then again Adobe has said they will be coming out with LR 2.2 shortly.

Shootist, Good point regarding the potential for an upgrade for Lightroom 2 in the near future (for those that have LR2) which has typically followed right behind the launch of a new ACR engine to CS(2-3), but once CS3 was launched, all further updates for ACR (new cameras, new tools, etc.) were only available for CS3. My feeling is that Adobe will follow that general business plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootist Posted November 26, 2008 Share #15 Posted November 26, 2008 Another solution is not to use Adobe photoshop Yeah that's a option if you don't already own it. But the upgrades for PS are cheap enough, at least in the USA, that it make more sense to buy the upgrades then try out other software that may cost more then the upgrade, does less, supports less, has fewer features and is not supported by the maker. Like C1. Why on earth has PO not implemented a central cache for any of the version 4 releases. How hard is it to have a check box someplace in the option to have either a central cache or to drop folder and files all over your HDD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
