Cannot open DNG files in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge?

I used Adobe DNG converter on a batch of NEF files (D300). The conversion was successful and the .dng files show up in Bridge with the right preview. However, when I double-click on any of these files, it launches Photoshop and opens the file in CR hosted by Photoshop. This in spite of having my preferences set to "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" in the Bridge preferences. Furthermore, a right-click (or control-click) on the file's thumbnail shows the Open With... item only has "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS3 (default)", and not the option to "Open with Camera Raw" that other RAW files have. Interestingly, if I do some editing in ACR, and click on "Done", then, right-click on the thumbnail, the missing options in the Open menu in Bridge re-appear!
I don't think this was happening before. Is this the expected behavior, or am I missing something?
My setup:
Bridge 2.1.1.9
Camera Raw 4.3.1
My computer:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1

Problem solved. I had to delete the preferences file (resetting preferences by pressing the required keys when launching Bridge did not solve the problem).
I am glad I learned that trick by visiting this forum!

Cannot open JPEG files in Camera Raw from Bridge

I am using Adobe Web Premium CS3 with Windows Vista. In Bridge under File, the "Open in Camera Raw" is grayed out. In preferences, I checked "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" and when I double-click a JPEG file it still opens in Photoshop CS3. I've downloaded and installed the latest Camera Raw plugin (Camera Raw.8bi dated 3/27/2008) into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats. Nothing seems to work.

I am experiencing the same problem under XP SP2. It is intermittent. Everything will be OK and then the next time I open the folder Camera Raw is not available.
I just did a little experiment. I created a sub-folder in the folder that would not produce Cam Raw and moved a jpg to it. When I right clicked it in the new folder, Cam Raw was there as it should be. I moved the jpg back to the original folder that had the problem and Cam Raw opened in that folder too, but not on any of the other jpg's in that folder.
I moved all of the jpg's to this sub folder and back and Cam Raw was there on all the jpg's.
There is without a doubt some real flakies in Bridge. I also have workspaces saved that suddenly are not saved any more.
Hope this helps out your problem Donald. Oh, I am using web premium CS3 also

Best Way to Open Files in Camera Raw Hosted by CS3?

Hello. I can no longer open Camera Raw in Bridge, only in CS3. I have read posts regarding this problem. If I cannot get Camera Raw (4.2) working in bridge soon, what would be the most efficient way to edit 900 DNG files in Camera Raw hosted by CS3. I really need to process these files for a client in 2 days, so I really do not have too much time to install and re-install software. I am afraid I may create a bigger problem. Thanks a lot.
Francis Valentine

Francis,
First, make sure you are running Bridge 2.1.0.100. If not, update ASAP.
Go to "About Plug-in" in the Help menu of Photoshop and verify that you are running ACR 4.2 and that only one copy of ACR is present. You cannot have more than one.
Purge the Cache for each offending folder through the Tools menu in Bridge, not in Bridge Preferences.
Those are the only tips I can offer, as I don't do Windows. Hope the Windows users jump in.

Cannot open DNG files in CS3 or Lightroom?

When I convert RAW files from my new DMC-LF1 camera to DNG, I can not open the files in CS3 or Lightroom. Isn't DNG supposed to be a universal format?
I do not have problems with converted DNG files from my Nikon cameras.

I use the free Adobe DNG Converter vers. 8.1 der supporter mit Panasonic DMC-LF1. I just downloaded this version and now am able to open my Panasonic DNGs in Lightroom, but not in CS3. There are no problems opening my Nikon DNGs in both programs.
This certainly leaves the problem about DNG as a universal format lasting far out in the future, doesn't matter what camera the file came from.

As far as I know DNG is supposed to be standardised format. What are you using to convert the RAW files to DNG?

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Can't open files in Camera Raw while in Bridge CS6

05/30/2014
Believe this issue/problem happened after automatic update from Adobe (but can't be sure).
Have always uploaded files from camera into Bridge then do some editing by opening JPEG and RAW (NEF) files in Camera Raw from Bridge.
Now, "Open in Camera Raw" is greyed out and I am unable to find a way to open files with Camera Raw from inside Bridge CS6. This seemed to happen suddenly and without any new software or applications being added to computer. All other apps/software working well.
Have tried various fixes found on Adobe community discussions without success. Problem now ongoing for over a week +.
Am able to open files in Photoshop with no problem but want to be able to do some quick edits using Camera Raw opening files from Bridge CS6.
I'm using Bridge CS6 Version 5.0.2.4. (as part of Adobe Creative Suite 6). Updater states I have most current version of Bridge installed.
I'm using an iMac computer with Intel Core i7 processor
OS X 10.8.5
Have found others with this same or very similar problems on forums but either can't understand patches/directions or unable to complete instructions on my computer.
for example see: Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6
From that link/discussion, one finds this "solution":
After you update to Camera Raw 8.4, Bridge CS6 in Mac OS doesn't display image metadata or allow you to edit images in Camera Raw.
To the top
Manually install the Camera Raw 8.4 plug-in.
Exit Adobe Bridge.
Download the file below.
Locate and double-click the downloaded file to decompress it. The resulting file is Camera Raw.plugin.
Navigate to the Macintosh HD folder.
Open the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS6/File Formats folder.
IMPORTANT: Navigate to the root Library folder on your hard disk, not the Library folder under your user folder.
Copy the Camera Raw.plugin from step 3 into the File Formats folder.
IMPORTANT: This new file overwrites the file already in this folder. It's important that only one Camera Raw.plugin file is in this folder.
Open Adobe Bridge.
Camera Raw.plugin.zip
Mac OS Camera Raw 8.4 plug-in for manual installation
However, when I try the above, I have these issues:
1. When I double click on the downloaded file, my computer opens PhotoShop and an error message is displayed that states "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." (I suspect this may mean my computer has automatically decompressed the file, but I am not certain of that).
2. Not completely certain I know how to "Navigate to the Macintosh HD folder" as suggested in step 4. above (OK, I'm new to Mac; long-time PC user….)
3. When I am in "Finder" and click on "GO" while holding down "Option" key, I find "Library". within that, I can find "Library/Application Support/Adobe" but there is no "Plug-Ins" folder within the "Adobe" subfolder.
4. Not sure how to tell if I am in the "root Library" on my hard disk vs. "Library under my user folder". (Again, new to Mac….)
I have NOT yet tried doing an "Uninstall" and then Re-installing the whole Adobe Creative Suite 6 and would like to avoid that if possible.
Would absolutely LOVE it if Adobe would simply push an update that would fix this problem or if someone would explain to me how I could restore the earlier version that worked perfectly for me.
Any help, suggestions (in very basic, simple terms that any idiot new to the world of Macintosh can understand) would be appreciated. Very frustrated with Adobe at the moment.
Mostly have liked the switch to Mac, but with this and my photo workflow coming to a screeching halt, having second thoughts. (But I suppose Adobe update for PC may cause problems as well.)
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

05/30/2014
Literally minutes after I posted the above, I figured this out myself and now I'm a happy camper and things are back to normal!
Here was my error/issue: as a new Mac user, I was not negotiating/finding files on my hard drive correctly.
In case there are others out there with this same issue (and as dense as I apparently am ):
Here is what I did that resulted in a fix:
First Steps:
1. Quit/close Bridge
2. As noted in post above, go to this link to download Camera Raw Plugin file:
Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6
Link to get to download is near end of instructions, but I will attempt to insert that link to download here:
Camera Raw.plugin.zip
3. Once file has been downloaded, find it by using "Finder" Click on "Finder" and look on list of options on left side of Finder window to find "Downloads". On my computer, when clicking on "Finder" these options appear in the list at the left:
All My Files
Airdrop
Applications
Desktop
Documents
Downloads
Movies
Music
Pictures
4. Download you just did should be at or near the top of your downloads list and should be named as "Camera Raw.plugin" and will be 83.5 MB in size
5. I right-clicked (two fingers on touchpad) to bring up drop down options and selected "Copy 'Camera Raw.plugin'" from that list to copy file.
Now, you have copied the plug in that will fix this issue. The second set of steps below will walk you through how to replace the file that is on your hard drive with this plug in file that you have copied.
Second set of steps (and this is where, as a new Mac user, I was confused initially)
1. Again, click on "Finder" on your Mac
2. On top of screen, find "GO" and click on that. (You should see "Finder" in the upper right corner of your screen, then "File, Edit, View, GO, Window, Help" Click on the GO
3. In drop down menu that appears, click on "Computer"
4. Then, double click on "Macintosh HD" to open your hard drive
5. Next, double click on "Library" folder to open that.
6. Next, click on "Application Support" folder to open that.
7. Then, double click on "Adobe" folder to open that.
8. Then, double click on "Plug Ins" folder to open that
9. Now, double click on "CS6" to open that folder.
10. Finally, double click on the "File Formats" folder that appears.
11. NOW, you should see this:
12. Right click (two finger press if using a touch pad) to open window with options. Select "Paste Item" by clicking on that option.
13. You will be prompted with an option to keep existing file OR replace the file. Choose "Replace" to past the new "Camera Raw.plugin" file to this folder.
Finally, if you now go back and open Bridge CS6, you should be good to go.
Hope that helps someone out there.
Hopefully future updates will from Adobe will be better.

Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR). And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS. See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

TMS cannot open the file on the different host

Hi!
I have very simple scenario: 2 Systems (DEV and PRD) on the different hosts which should be configured in the TMS.
I have done the following:
- I have changed the DIR_TRANS-parameter on the PRD-host and gave him the value of the DEV in the instance-profile. Unfottunately the error appiers "this folder does not exist"
If I do the transport group check I see the red points. This means I cannot open the file on the different host (e.g. from DEV on the PRD and opposite).
Should I set users manually or share the folder or something like this to give access for the TMS?
Thank you!

Thank you Eugene, I could open the document by changing it's name

Cannot open DNG files via Bridge or Lightroom in Photoshop?

I have a problem that has popped up since I installed the 5.6 RAW upgrade to my CS4/Lightroom 2.2 package. Hopefully someone would be kind enough to help me diagnose it, as it affects only about 85,000 raw files currently in my Lightroom Catalogue.
The files were originally shot using a Canon professional camera in their proprietary RAW format, CR2. This conversion occurred upon input into Lightroom while at the same time the original CR2 files discarded (as I am not the son of a Hard Drive Manufacture!). After the installation of the recent DNG/RAW converter upgrade I first noticed that the dng files would not display in Bridge even if I rebuild the cache, however, if I downloaded a Canon CR2 file they displayed without a problem. This condition Bridge; Lightroom continued to display both types of RAW files correctly, however the dng file now had a small triangle with an explanation symbol inside it on the top right of the thumbnail preview indicating that “Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo, while there was no associated problem with the canon CR2 file. The message 'You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo” was associated with the triangle icon. Quite discerning, considering this has occurred to all 18,000 previously imported and rendered dng previews.
I then tried to import the files into Camera RAW using the ‘right-click technique’ in Bridge on the dng file symbols representing the thumbnails that would be there if I did not have this problem. When I right clicked and selected ‘Open in Camera Raw’ there is no response what so ever. If I drag the dng symbol to the Photoshop desktop it results in the following error message “Could not complete your request because of a program error.” Either way there is no getting the dng file into Photoshop.
I have attempted the following fixes:
1. Clean reinstall of CS4 (saving preferences)
2. Clean update of Camera RAW 5.5
Does anyone out there have any solutions, recommendations, work-around or suggestions for this situation? Is it a problem with a conversion of the metadata? The file structure itself? Can it be fixed? At this juncture I am out of Tums’s, that nasty tasting pink stuff in the bathroom and am headed for the pharmacy for something stronger.
I would appreciate any help at all.

I know it does help find a solution, but I have run across some older DNG's that will open in LR 2 but will not open in Bridge/CSR 4. (These are DNG's created by Scott Kelby for his LR 2 book - I have attached on to this post.) I can open them first in LR and then tell LR to edit the image in Photoshop and it will open. I have not yet had the issue of LR not being able to open the DNG correctly. However, I may not have done a DNG conversion since I installed the 5.6 upgrade. When I get a chance I will go convert some CR2 files and see what happens.
Mike
I have uploaded one of Kelby's dng's that will not open in my desktop nor laptop Bridge/CSR 4 w/all updates. DNG 5.6 is unable to process them as well. It will import into LR. Other than that I cannot cause DNG's not to load into Bridge/CSR.
Opps the file is too big. You can download it from here. Kelby's Technical Copy Editor told me she did not have the same problem. Weird. I hope you solve your problem.

Why can I no longer open jpeg files in camera raw in CS2? The option is grayed out in Bridge

I was forced to download CS2 from the web after Adobe stopped allowing me to register it from my disks and now I can no longer open files in camera raw. Am I missing something?

As far as i know, photoshop cs2 and adobe bridge 1 (cs2) could not open jpegs or tiffs into camera raw, only camera raw files.
I believe photoshop cs3 was the first version to allow jpegs to be opened in camera raw.
Are you sure you had photoshop cs2 before?
If on the other hand, you can't open camera raw files that you used to be able to open, then you probably just need to update the camera raw plugin to version 3.7

As far as I know it is not an option to open PSDs in ACR.
It has to be JPEG or TIFF. (Or raw of course!)
