How to open multiple jpgs in Adobe Camera Raw PSE 9 Mac

I am using Adobe Elements 9 on a Mac.  I can open a single jpeg file in ACR with the file open command.  There is no "Open As" in my version, probably because this is the Mac version.  But, there is an additional dialog which allows me to open the jpeg file and select "Camera Raw" as the type.  This opens the jpg in the raw editor.
But, when I select multiple files to open, the type dialog vanishes.  Rather than opening the files in ACR, they are stacked in the main editor.  I don't have this problem opening multiple dng files - just multiple jpg files.  Multiple jpg files will not open in ACR.
I then went to the organizer, which replaced Bridge?  In Bridge, I read there is a command to open multiple files in ACR or use the cmd-R.  However, I am not seeing an open in ACR command in the organizer, just open in editor.  Opening multiple jpg files in the organizer stacks them into the editor, not ACR.  And, typing cmd-R brings up Red Eye reduction, not Raw Editing.
Is there a trick to this which I am missing?

Thanks Terry! I’ve been using this for a few years and settled on the somewhat more flexible approach… As you mentioned, Bridge offers an explicit command to open a JPEG or TIFF in Camera Raw, which I do, but then with a press of Shift I can open that JPEG as a smart object and revisit CR controls for further adjustment at any time later in the process.

  • How to open a jpg file in camera raw in Photoshop CC (2014)?

    I know i can do it via bridge but do i also have some option than using bridge?

    You can open a jpeg or tif into camera raw from photoshop by using:
    File>Open As>Camera Raw (windows)
    File>Open and change the Format to Camera Raw (mac)
    You can also open any open document into the camera raw filter
    Filter>Camera Raw Filter
    If you want all jpegs or tifs to always open in camera raw, you can go to Photoshop(Edit)>Preferences>Camera Raw
    and set Jpeg and Tiff handling to Automatically Open All

  • Open with External Editor Adobe Camera Raw = HOW?

    When I export a RAW file to the External Editor (I've chosen Photoshop CS3) I would like for it to open in Adobe Camera Raw, just like any RAW file that I open in Photoshop outside of Aperture.
    However it bypasses Adobe Camera Raw and opens directly in Photoshop.
    I have the "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files" and "for Supported RAW files" boxes checked in the Photoshop Prefs.
    I see some chatter about Hot folders and Automator around here, but no definitive answer/workaround.
    If Aperture doesn't support exporting to Adobe Camera Raw, it is a HUGE leg-up for Lightroom in the RAW workflow department.
    Please tell me I'm missing a checkbox somewhere... Thanks.

    You're not missing a checkbox, you're missing a fundamental issue of how Aperture (and LightRoom for that matter) work.
    When you use the Open in External Editor command, Aperture will convert the RAW file, apply any adjustments you have made, and send the resulting PSD or TIFF file to the external editor.
    The original file is NOT sent and there is no option to do so. Why not? Because Aperture Versions do not exist as discrete image files - the adjustments are shown on-the-fly each time you view it, saving on the space taken up by multiple TIFF/PSD/JPEG files for each Version. As ACR uses a totally different RAW conversion & adjustment engine from Aperture, Aperture wouldn't be able to display any changes made in ACR without including the entire conversion engine of ACR, which Adobe might not be too happy about...
    In other words, if you want to use a different RAW convertor you will have to export the Master, convert it in the other app, and then import the resulting 'normal' image file back into Aperture. The same is true for LightRoom.

  • How to open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2

    Hi,
      How do I open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2. I have two forms and I need to compare them. Another situation is I want to correct/copy the contents by keeping the old and new one under the view simultaneously. I also want to take advantage of multiple monitors
    The MDI style windows with Ctl+Tab to switch between documents is not helping me in the context explained above
       adobe Acrobat work on multi instance if I type acrobat.exe /n;
    but if I type "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe" /n;, its just opening the existing livecycle instance
    please help

    I don't think you can run two instances.
    But you can stretch the main application window across both monitors and tile the two documents inside the main window.

  • Can't open a JPEG in Adobe Camera RAW 4.3.1

    I'm trying to open a jpg file from bridge to ACR using the cmnd+r combination and nothing happens.
    I can only view jpg files in ACR when I apply changes to them in Lightroom. Then I just double click on them (or cmnd+o) and they open in Adobe Camera RAW.
    Anyone can help?

  • Opening tiff photos in Adobe Camera Raw

    I can not open my tiff files / photos in Adobe Camera Raw.  I am using CS6 that has been completely updated with all the current updates. I go to Bridge, highlight a tiff thumbnail photo and go up the file drop down menu.  The open in raw selection is grayed out and I can not select it.  It works fine with jpeg files, and I can open raw files without problems.  It just won't work with tiff files. I have gone to preferences and selected the option to open all supported tiff flles but this did not work either.
    I have uninstalled Photoshop and Bridge and reinstalled it and updated it all again and it still will not let me open tiff files in Camera Raw.
    Any ideas?

    I am more apt to beleive the issue is with the tif files themselves. Not all tif files are equal. It depends on the compression, bit mode and so forth. Can the tiff files be opened in photoshop? if so, then that just maybe the problem. if not, then the file itself maybe corrupt. But I am leaning towards the settings used when saving the file.

  • Photoshop cs6 opens some jpg always in camera raw , how can i avoid it?

    Hi
    photoshop opens some jpg files 3 (i have a folder with 60 pics raw and jpg ) and it opens always via camera raw
    i don't know why
    but is there a way to avoid it?
    i mean i want to open these 3 files like other jpg files , directly in photoshop
    thanks
    cheers

    There is a setting that you can change that affects whether Camera Raw is the preferred method for opening JPEGs...
    In Photoshop, go to the Preferences - Camera Raw configuration entry, and look here:
    When set to the middle entry ("Automatically open JPEGs with settings") it will use Camera Raw again by default if you've used it before to open the JPEG.  Personally I prefer the Disable setting.

  • How to open several psdfiles simultaniously in Camera Raw 8.1

    I've replaced my Ps 5.5 by Ps 6.
    Now I'm having problems with opening psd files in Camera Raw; in Ps 5 I worked from Bridge and could open that type of files from Bridge to ACR.
    I just found out how to open it in Photoshop: open as....RAW file.
    But I want several psd-files opening in ACR simultaniously, because I want to synchronise them.
    That is not possible; I can only select just 1 file.
    How to handle this?

    If you can open even one PSD file in ACR, you should be here answering questions - not asking them.  
    I am also confused by your Photoshop version numbers.  Do you mean CS5.5 and CS6   There was no CS5.5, although there was a Creative Suite CS5.5 which obviously contained Photoshop.  Or are you talking about early versions of Photoshop?  PS5.5 (Strange Cargo) was released in February 1999 and PS6 (Venus in Furs) in September 2000, but Camera RAW support didn't arrive till version 7.0.1 in August 2002.
    ACR can open RAW files, plus JPGs and TIFFs, but not PSD files. 

  • Open a JPG picture in Camera Raw

    Is there a possibility to open from the command line a JPG picture first in Camera Raw to get it then in PS ?
    What do I have to specify?

    Thanks a lot for the answers.
    I know these possibilities. The reason for my question is that i would like to open a JPG file from another application such as ViewNX or Expression Media directly in Camera Raw to do some adjustments. After that, i use PS for all other editings. Therefore i need to specify in these other applications a command that i have somewhat like "open with..." in a popup menu.
    I know as well that there is a command "open with Camera Raw..." in the Bridge. But i don't like the Bridge very buch because it is not the best choice for using with 2 monitors. To work with 2 or 3 monitors, ViewNX or Expression Media are much more user friendly.

  • When opening an image in Adobe Camera Raw in CC, the image is solid red

    The image is solid red and not my image. I have been working on an image and several layers of work done on things like white balance, color cast.  When I add a CAL I cant get to ACR at all. If im on the previous CAL I can open in ACR but with the red image.   I am on a Mac 10.8.5 Have the latest version of CC installed. Help!
    An hour later I went back and on a copy of my Background layer, I opened the image in ACR.  So what are the parameters of ACR that I don't understand?

    You can't do that in ACR, but you can if you open it in Photoshop and use the crop tool there.

  • Camera Calibration Profile in Adobe Camera Raw 5.3

    I'm trying to figure out the Camera Calibration tab in Adobe Camera Raw 5.3.  It seems that every picture I open selects a different Camera Profile in the drop down menu.  How do I know which one is appropriate for my camera (Nikon D40X)?  Or, do you just select whichever one looks the best to you on the drop down menu for that picture?  Or, does it matter that much at all since they never had this tab in there before?

    I'm not sure I understand...when I open an image in Adobe Camera Raw 5.3, does it open with a different "default" for each picture?  Or should I be using a specific profile from the pulldown menu, e.g., ACR. 4.4 or "Standard Adobe" or should I try them all and see which one I like?
    Thanks.

  • +++ Adobe Camera Raw - Frequently Asked Questions +++

    Q: Is my camera supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR)?
    A: Here is the list of cameras officially supported by the current version of Adobe Camera Raw and Digital Negative (DNG) converter. The page also provides links to the current version of ACR and DNG converter for both Mac and Windows.
    Q: what version of Camera Raw should I install?
    A: Photoshop CS6: see first question.
    Photoshop CS5: Camera Raw 6.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 4: Camera Raw 5.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 3: Camera Raw 4.6 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 2: Camera Raw 3.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS: Camera Raw 2.4 Win | Mac
    For Photoshop Elements, Windows:
    Photoshop Elements 10: (See first question)
    Photoshop Elements 9: Camera Raw 6.5
    Photoshop Elements 8: Camera Raw 6.2
    Photoshop Elements 7 and 6:  Camera Raw 5.6
    Photoshop Elements 5: Camera Raw 4.6
    Photoshop Elements 4: Camera Raw 3.7
    Photoshop Elements 3: Camera Raw 3.6
    For Photoshop Elements, Macintosh:
    Photoshop Elements 10: (See first question)
    Photoshop Elements 9: Camera Raw 6.5
    Photoshop Elements 8: Camera Raw 6.2
    Photoshop Elements 6: Camera Raw 5.6
    Photoshop Elements 4.0.1: Camera Raw 4.6 ( 4.1 under Mac OS 10.3)
    Photoshop Elements 3: Camera Raw 3.6
    Q: What version of Camera Raw started to support my camera?
    A: This page: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111 lists when support for the raw files of your camera was added in Camera Raw. If the version listed is higher than the one supported by your version of Camera Raw, you first need to convert the files to DNG using the latest version of the DNG converter in order to open them in Camera Raw.
    Q: I do not have the latest version of Photoshop, how can I open the Raw files from my new camera?
    A: Only the current version of Photoshop will receive ACR updates that add support for the latest cameras. However, you can download the latest version of the DNG converter, and use it to transform your raw files to the universal DNG format. Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS and all newer versions of Camera Raw compatible with your version of Photoshop will be able to open the DNG files. Photoshop 7 and ACR 1.0 do not support DNG, therefore you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop.
    Q: When will the new update of Adobe Camera Raw be released?
    A: Adobe cannot comment on unannounced products, however, it is expected that ACR and DNG converter will be simultaneously updated 3 or 4 times per year (i.e. every 3 or 4 months).
    Q: What does "Unofficial Support" for a camera mean?
    A: Unofficial support means that Adobe's Quality Engineering department has not tested the support to the degree that they want, and thus cannot guarantee the results. So we don't include the camera in our official lists, and don't provide any technical support. Unofficial support means "use at your own risk".
    Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
    A: For Photoshop CS customers, the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the Updates option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
    Q: Why is the profile listed in the Calibration tab showing a version of Adobe Camera Raw that's older than I am using ?
    A: What you are seeing is normal, and is due to the fact that the built-in profile for your particular camera model hasn't changed between that version of Adobe Camera Raw and the version you're using now. If you see the profile listed as "beta" then your camera has only unofficial support.
    Q: Why is there more than one profile listed in the Calibration tab of Adobe Camera Raw?
    A: The built-in profile for your particular camera model has changed since it was first supported. The profile shown by default identifies the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw in which the profile was updated. Other profiles in the drop-down list identify those included with earlier versions of Adobe Camera Raw, and are available in case you want to maintain compatibility with earlier versions.
    Q: My camera is listed, but Photoshop cannot read its raw files.
    A: Download and install the most recent update to Adobe Camera Raw.
    Q: Where can I download the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw?
    A: Adobe Camera Raw for: Macintosh and Windows
    Q: I am trying to replace my existing ACR plug-in with a more recent version, but cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder. Where is it located now?
    A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the correct location is:
    Photoshop CS2
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\
    Photoshop CS3
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
    Note that "Common Files" is localized in non-english versions of Windows.
    Q: Why do I only see a small generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files?
    A: Bridge occasionally has difficulty with RAW files, but this is usually because the user has installed ACR into the wrong location or browsed the folder prior to installing the ACR plug-in that provides support for their particular camera model. The fix for this issue is usually to make absolutely sure that ACR is installed correctly, then purge the Bridge cache. If you're in the habit of using the Distributed cache (Bridge 1.x) it would be prudent to manually delete the cache files from the folder containing your RAW files.
    Q: Whenever I open an image in Adobe Camera Raw a small explanation mark within a yellow triangle appears in the upper right hand corner of the image.
    A: This symbol indicates that a high quality preview is being generated by Adobe Camera Raw. It should disappear after a couple of seconds.
    Q: How do I turn off Auto Adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw 3.x?
    A: Open Adobe Camera Raw. On the Mac press Cmd+U or on the PC Ctrl+U. This keystroke combination toggles Auto Adjustments On and Off. Alternatively, disable the Auto Adjustments setting from the fly-out menu adjacent to the Setting drop-down menu. If you want the default to be Off for Auto Adjustments simply choose "Save New Camera Raw Default" from the fly-out menu adjacent to the "Settings" drop-down menu then choose Done.
    Q: What about Adobe Camera Raw 3.7 and newer versions?
    A: Camera Raw 3.7 no longer supports per slider auto adjustments. One Auto control at the top of the panel now sets the Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast sliders to their auto values. The Default control at the top of the panel sets these same four sliders to their default values. The keyboard shortcut for the Auto control is CMD/CTRL-U.
    The keyboard shortcut for the Default control is CMD/CTRL-R.
    Double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its default value.
    Shift double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its auto value.
    Q: Why do I get the the following message: "Unable to create an .xmp sidecar file. The image settings will instead be stored in the Adobe Camera Raw database."
    A: This message means that Adobe Camera Raw is unable to write to the XMP sidecar file. Either the media is read-only (e.g. a CD), or you don't have write access to the folder containing the image, or the existing XMP sidecar file is locked.
    Q: I cannot see all the tools and buttons of Adobe Camera Raw.
    A: Set your monitor resolution to the minimum required for Photoshop CS and higher, i.e. 1024x768.
    Q: Where can I obtain a listing of Adobe Camera Raw keyboard shortcuts and modifiers?
    A: On the Photoshop online help file.
    Q: When I open my Nikon NEF files, all I see is the simple version of the raw dialog.
    A: You are running Nikon's plug-in, not Adobe's. Delete from Photoshop's plug-in folder and all subfolders all copies of the "Nikon NEF plugin". Nikon automatically installs this plug-in in up to two places inside Photoshop's plug-in folder, and both must be deleted. Otherwise it overrides the Adobe plug-in. An alternative to the deletion is adding ~ in front of the Nikon plug-ins names.
    Q: I installed the update. I can now open my raw files, but I still cannot see thumbnails in the file browser.
    A: Purge the file browser cache for the problem folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for this folder.
    Q: Is it better to resize my images in Camera Raw, or in Photoshop?
    A: The resampling code is fairly similar to (but not exactly the same as) the "Bicubic Sharper" resampling in Photoshop CS and CS2. It does not make very much difference which stage you do the resampling in. The exception is non-square pixel cameras (Nikon D1x and Fuji S2 Pro), for which it is best to upsample one size step in Camera Raw if you need a larger image.
    Q: What are raw images, and how do they differ from JPEG ones?
    A: Read this whitepaper (1MB PDF) written by Bruce Fraser for a concise answer.

    You can check compatibility yourself:
    1.  Go to this page to see the different releases:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515?tstart=0
    2.  Navigate into the download link for the appropriate version of Camera Raw.
    3.  Follow the link to the ReadMe (e.g., http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_4.6_ReadMe.pdf).
    4.  Look to see whether your camera is supported.
    5.  If your camera is NOT supported, you can use the free Adobe DNG converter to create .dng files that your Camera Raw will be able to open.
    Photoshop CS6 is anticipated to be out in a few months, and Camera Raw is supposed to have a whole new approach, so a lot of us are excited about anticipating that.

  • How to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw

    I know it is possible to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw using Bridge but is it possible to do this using PSE7?  Thanks.

    Yes. In the editor, File>Open As, and choose camera raw as the format. John Ellis also has a script for doing this directly from the organizer, but I don't have the link right at the moment. Hopefully he'll be along with it sooner or later.
