CHAPTER 4 DEVELOP MODULE IMAGE EDITING342
Lightroom and Camera Raw
As you are probably aware, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Camera
Raw (as part of the Adobe Photoshop program) both share the same Camera Raw
processing engine. This means any development adjustments that are applied
in one program can be recognized and read by the other. However, there are a
few things you need to bear in mind here. Camera Raw development is linked to
specific versions of Photoshop. As of this writing, I anticipate that the launch of
Lightroom 5.0 will coincide with a Camera Raw 8.1 update for Photoshop CS6
and CC. This version will work in both programs. In Photoshop CC, it offers full
compatibility with Lightroom 5. When installed in Photoshop CS6, it allows CS6
users to open images that have been processed in Lightroom 5 which contain
new style edits, such as Upright adjustments. But you won’t be able to edit these
particular settings; Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.1 will just open them. To
access the latest version of Camera Raw for Photoshop and Bridge, go to the
Adobe website: www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html.
Meanwhile, Photoshop CS5 users will have been provided with a Camera Raw 6.7
update. Now, although this version of Camera Raw has the ability to read Process
2012 edits, no further functionality has been added. Camera Raw 6.7 will be able
to read Process 2012 files edited in Lightroom 4, but you won’t be able to edit the
Basic panel settings or other settings that were new to Lightroom 4. It will also be
able to read Lightroom 5 edited files, but with even more restrictions, such as the
inability to read Upright adjustments.
If we return now to the current Lightroom/Photoshop status, if you want Camera
Raw to allow the same full editing as you have in Lightroom 5, you will at some
point need to upgrade to Photoshop CC. However, the Camera Raw 8.1 update
does offer some limited compatibility between the two programs.
Viewing Lightroom edits in Camera Raw
The main point to remember is to always save the metadata edits out to the files’
XMP space if you need Camera Raw to read the develop adjustments that have
been applied in Lightroom. If you don’t do this, the edit changes you make in
Lightroom cannot be read by Camera Raw (but do take note of the above points
regarding Camera Raw and Lightroom compatibility).
Viewing Camera Raw edits in Lightroom
If you want your Camera Raw edits to be visible in Lightroom, you need to make
sure that the image adjustments applied in Camera Raw are also saved to the file’s
XMP space. To do this, launch Photoshop and choose Photoshop Preferences
Camera Raw. This opens the dialog shown in Figure 4 .127, where you need to
select “Sidecar ‘.xmp’ files” from the “Save image settings in” menu.
TIP
Instead of opening your images in
Photoshop, you can always consider
purchasing Adobe Photoshop
Elements as a companion application
to Lightroom. Elements contains
nearly all the features found in
Photoshop and uses the same under-
lying image-processing engine.
The main limitation is that you can’t
edit or convert files to CMYK. As
regards the raw processing, the latest
version of Elements will include the
latest version of Camera Raw. So if
a Photoshop purchase or upgrade
seems out of reach, you might
want to consider Elements as an
alternative.
