Camera Raw Editing Not "Enabled" on Bridge

I recently had to have a new HD installed on my MacBook Pro. When restoring everything on the new HD using Time Machine I was pleased to see my whole CS4 Master Collections apps restored. Later I tried to use CS4 Bridge to edit RAW photos. I got an error message that said Editing RAW was not enabled. Help?

I don't think you can restore Adobe programs with Time Machine and have them work properly. Can you uninstall, and install with disks?

If you really tried every solution how can we help?
Seriously, give us system details, camera model, ACR version reported under PS Help, and we can maybe suggest something.

Camera Raw editing not enabled

I had to do a system restore only to find on return that
I get a message saying "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw
editing requires that a qualiftyjing product has been launched at least once to enable this
feature"
I can open and work on my ORF's via the mini bridge but not the big one, very frustrating. Can anyone help please without me having to reinstall the whole of CS5?
Thank you in advance,
RonB

Hi Curt,
I did the uninstall, run the adobe script cleaner and re-install the whole CS5 suite. I even uninstalled all my other adobe software such as the flash player and the acrobat reader to make sure that there are no other parent application to run but I still get the same error message.
I can also send to you the log of the adobe cleaner if needed. I encountered an error when I run it first but I followed the instructions to manually delete the folder in the path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe/OOBE
Then after I deleted the folder I rerun the cleaner and found no other items related to the CS5 suite.
After that, I re-installed the C5 suite, updated it to the current ones you have in the website. Then I restarted my computer. Then I opened PS first and from there I opened Bridge. When I try to open an image directly to camera raw from Bridge or copy the settings of an image it still gave the errir message indicated above.
I'm sure I am not the only one encountering this problem thus it would really help a lot if we can find a resolution to this issue since the CS5 suite is really a good application, a cut above the rest, except for thisparticular issue.
Thank you very much for your continued assistance.

Kio

"Camera Raw editing not enabled" why!

Im suddenly unable to edit in Raw...says "Raw Camera editing not enabled. I recently switched from Cloud CC suite to Coud Photography

This issue comes when qualifying product (say Photoshop CC) licence is not activated.
Sign and Sign out of CC app and then launch Ps , then try accessing ACR.

Win 7-CS4 - Bridge - ACR 5.5 Camera Raw editing not enabled

I have just migrated to a new Win 7 system. Fresh install of PS CS4, I found I could load CR2's into ACR but not jpg's. Wehn I tried to check Camera Raw preferences in Bridge I got message "Camera Raw not enabled...." even though PS had been started several times. I tried to update to ACR 5.5 but got same message. I installed it manually as per instructions but still same result. Cannot load jpg's into ACR. I do not have this problem on two XP and one XPx64 systems.
Is this a problem with win 7?
Thanks,
Paul

Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch

Hey Everyone,
I hope that someone can help me. I made alot of edits to about 100 images in Camera Raw ( ie (de)saturation, exposure adjustments, color adjustments,etc).
I wanted to finish up the images ( sharpening, saving) with an action that i created in Photoshop CS6.
However, when i run the action in photoshop, none of the adjustments that I made in camera raw are visible. In other words, the saved images that were output of photoshop batch were essentially the images right out of the camera. What am I doing wrong?
I appreciate your help in advance.
-Andre

The Action is very simple and does not make much sense to me. The open step is not expanded so I can only guess that its and interactive open step inserted into the action using insert menu item and you selected file>open. Other Since your original question is about RAW files I assume your opening a RAW file that has ACR settings previously set. So ACR should open the RAW file you select with its previously set ACR settings. If this is and interactive ACR step you can use Open as Object or Open Image. Since later on in the action I see select layer "Background" you must be using open image for open object would create a smart object layer not a background layer. You action then dupe the background layer and sharpens the duped layer select the background flattens and save as jpeg. The result would be the same without the dupe and flatten. These are needless steps.
I also don't fully understand your original title "Camera Raw Edits Not used in Batch". Batch actions would normally not have and open step. Photoshop Automate Batch or a Photoshop script like the Image Processor would normally process open document or open files select in the bridge or pointed to in the batch process dialog. If the action has an open step the Batch Dialog has an option that can be used to override open steps. You did not show your bath dialog setting. I have never user that option and don't know exactly that option works. Particularly in this case where you failed to expand the open step. If it is and Open As Camera RAW all image files in the source location will be open through ACR however JPEG and Tiff files may not have ACR settings and other image file formats other the raw may cause errors. I do not know how the open step was recorded or how a open as camera raw steps are overridden. I'm sure Open recent and open file would open raw file through ACR and other image files formats would be open Photoshop where JPEG and Tiff file may be set to open through ACR. Do all image file in you source image location have ACR setting and the file type set to be open via ACR?

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop. Is there a fix? Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more. http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

Camera Raw is not enabled

I have had to reinstall Bridge...stopped opening. Now, when I try to open Camera Raw...I get this message: "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." HELP!

Hi,
Open Adobe Photoshop first. Open a Camera Raw file in Photoshop.
Then open Bridge from within Photoshop from File> Browse in Bridge.
Then try to open Raw files in Bridge. That should work.
We need to launch the parent product of Bridge first ( in this case Photoshop). Then we need to open the images in Bridge and it should work normally.
Thank you,

Adobe camera raw will not respond in bridge cs6?

adobe camera raw does not respond in adobe bridge? I am trying to open Jpegs, which i have previously been able to do so by right clicking and opening in adobe camera raw. Now it is unresponsive.

You are definitely in the wrong forum for Bridge CS6 and Adobe Camera Raw. You have posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing focus).
You probably want to be posting in the Photoshop Forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
My preliminary findings suggest possible workaround
a. Open camera raw in Photoshop 5 or 5.5 and then open edited raw image in Bridge CS6
or
b. There is a preferences route to check out.
Not being a Photoshop user, this is a quick suggestion where you might start looking. This is apparently a known issue.
The Photoshop users should be able to give you all the details and options you have for workarounds for now.

Camera Raw editing no enabled

HI Michelle,
I have the same issue. I have CS 4 Extended and have Camera Raw 5.7 installed. I tried all options suggested by various forums.
Tried this KB article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407945.html as well. No luck.
I am using OSX 10.6.8 and have CS4 Extended Suite.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 11.0.2 (11.0.2x20100519 [20100519.r.592 2010/05/19:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch])

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Details, please. Platform, exact version of Photoshop and of your OS, what trouble shooting steps you've taken so far, etc,
First thing to try, if it had worked before, is to Purge the Cache in Bridge.

Changes made in Camer Raw are not visible in Bridge

I'm editing the RAW images in Camera raw started from Bridge (Ctr- R). By returning to Bridge with "done" the changes are not visible. This worked until recently.
s there any setting which prevents Bridge taking in consideration the info from the XMP file ?
Re-starting Camera Raw I can see the changes from the previous session ...
thanks in advance

I love these quick solutions also.

Camera RAW changes not staying in Bridge/Photoshop

Hi all,
I've started having trouble with changes in Camera RAW not sticking once they're closed. I've got the XMP files, and Bridge shows the little icon to show it's been changed, but the changes aren't staying. I've tried clearing the cache, restarting the program and rebooting to no avail. To answer the preferred questions:
Photoshop CC, 14.2.1 64x
Totally updated
Windows 8.1 Pro
Nikon d800 RAW (NEF) files
No error messages
Making adjustments in Camera RAW (Photoshop) and then clicking 'done' when complete. This has always in the past saved the changes made until I make more, reset them, or delete the XMP file.
Always worked previously
Chrome, anti-virus. Never been an issue previously. Bridge usually runs at the same time.
Using a Microsoft Surface Pro, 4GB RAM, over 50GB free on the drive. No changes made to the system, since I let it run as-is. No updates to hardware, no brushes, no plugins.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply, Trevor! I've been on this internets for a long while now, and the first thing i notice in forums are that people never seem to follow the posting guidelines and never seem to provide info that's needed to help them (see: many photog forums where people ask for lens/camera recs and never tell us budget, needs, current equipment, or what they actually WANT to photograph!), so I find it's expedient to actually provide necessary information! Gettng gold stars for well-thought out, thorough explanations: what a novel concept!
Incidentally, I think I just worked it out. I added my external drive to my desktop PC to see if there was a difference, then noticed the same issue occurring. I had a sudden thought that the preview thumbnail wasn't showing up, and realised that the option to choose preview settings ('generate 100% previews' or 'prefer embedded') will make the edits disappear if you also have the cache purged.
Cheers anyway!

Installed Photoshop CS5 but it appears camera raw DID NOT install in Bridge

It appears Camera Raw didn't install in CS5 Bridge as all ACR functions in bridge are greyed out. I've been on hold for Adobe Support for over 2.5 hours over two days and after trying to use their "we'll call you back feature" which just rang for 18 minutes, I've given up on them. Does anyone have any suggestions. Camera Raw works fine from inside Photoshop but won't display any thumbnails inside Bridge.

I suspect you're frustrated, but in order to help forum members are going to need more info about your system, other Adobe products installed, etc.
