GIMP Version: 2.8.4
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level



Heya - ACR ( all versions i believe ) used to either be included with Adobe PS, or as a free download as a stand alone RAW editor. Adobe has now gone all funky subscript only, and all free downloads like ACR have disappeared from the website, as has all CS versions, since its now all CC based

I have searched for days and haven't found any website that still has ACR as a free download. There's plenty of websites that ' appear ' to have it, but are just pulling the wool, and filling their files with irritating junk, like snap.do and other rubbish, and not actually including the very file that i was after. Upgrades are no good either, as ACR has to be already installed to do an upgrade.

Does anyone have a copy of ACR .. preferably ACR 6.7 , (although previous versions would be fine) that they could send me via dropfile ?

thanks

Be sure and select a BLUE link for a mirror.

Yup, i've been there but its either a DNG converter, or its only an ACR upgrade, which needs ACR to be installed already. Trials for all versions of CS have finished, as far as i know

I used many versions of Adobe CS as trials ( its so expensive i could never afford the asking price ) and always had ACR as my NEF raw converter, so i'd love to have it back again.

OK, there's no .exe setup in the zip file. Just Adobe patch installer

Exe is there but it looks like just another update package, not a standalone. Sorry.
Have you tried Open Source programs like RawTherapee and such?

Yup, that was the patch installer setup, rather than the main software .exe but thanks for trying !

There is also a gimp plugin called UFRaw that handles RAW files.
Unfortunately, gimp does not support RAW files and color depth beyond 8 bit per channel,
but 16-bit and 32-bit floating point support will be featured in the next stable release (2.10 - thanks to GEGL)
Meaning, you can load RAW file to gimp, edit it, but cannot save it back as RAW or higher depth bitmap image.

Thanks for your efforts - i have downloaded the RAWtherapee option, as i like pretty in-depth editing.

Its yet another program i have to get my head round - having exclusively used ACR for many years, its probably going to be a bit of a shock, but I have some mileage in RAW editing so some things will look familiar, but maybe just done in a different way

I have heard that UFRAW doesn't work with GIMP-2.8.

Rod I've had no problem with UFRaw in 2.8.x so far.
The standalone wouldn't run on win 7 64-bit but the plugin works just great.
The only thing I have no explanation to is that when you double-click on RAW file or do Open_with>GIMP from
the file menu, the plugin crushes. But when I drag and drop it in GIMP it works as desired.
