Opening an image in Camera Raw from Bridge

I recently installed CC.  In Bridge preferences>behaviour, I enabled double clicking on image to open in Camera Raw.  That doesnt work.  Also when I go to File>Open with, Camera Raw is no longer a choice. Has that been disabled in CC?

That is not possible
Unless you hold down the shift key to bypass the ACR window and open directly in PS…
But yes, I agree, it seems not the normal route for a raw file.
Also using both Bridge and LR together is not the best workflow.

  • I cannot open JPG images in Camera RAW from Bridge or via "Open as" facility in Photoshop

    I am going crazy with Photoshop CC!!! I have been using Photoshop CC and Bridge CC since Feb 2014 and have a recurring problem, which comes back periodically after having been fixed with the aid of the Adobe Help Chat facility. Today the Chat facility is not on-line, so in desperation I'm hoping someone in the Community can help me.
    When I try to open a JPG file in Bridge I get the message "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that aqualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature".
    When I try to open a JPG file in Photoshop using the "Open As" facility, I get the message "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    I am running CC on a Dell laptop under Windows 7 64-bit.
    Can anyone help me please?

    I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves.  RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
    If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
    The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
    To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab.  Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
    You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab.  Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure.  It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.

  • Cannot open some jpgs in Camera Raw from Bridge

    A couple of days ago, I rated select images from a set as 5 stars, and now I cannot open these in Camera Raw from Bridge. I get no error messages or anything, there is just simply no option to Open in Camera Raw from the File menu, or the right-click menu. The images I did not rate still open in Camera Raw, and not all of the starred ones have this problem - just 20 or so consecutive images. This makes no sense to me, as all the images as far as I can tell should operate the same way. They are all jpgs. I can find workarounds to this like working in Photoshop (all the images still open in Photoshop) or possibly just reloading the photos from the memory card, but I'd like to know why this would even be a problem to avoid it in the future. I'm using CC on Win 8.

  • Is there a way to open an image in camera raw from within photoshop cs6 (on a PC)?

    is there a way to open an image in camera raw within photoshop cs6 (on a PC)? or do I have to use bridge to do this?
    Thanks....

    Just open the camera raw file, and it will open in the ACR plugin.

  • 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

  • How do I open my TIF file into Camera Raw from Bridge?

    Trying to follow a tutorial on editing an HDR image in photoshop. When instructed to open the TIF image into Camera Raw from Bridge, I don't get the option when I right click. What is going on here?

    I was talking about an advanced action, which is not loaded externally but executed on runtime (will be translated to AS). So this will only work if you can pass the value of the variable containing the slide number you want to the SWF. For that you'll need JavaScript and I'm not that acquainted with JS. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's blog:
    http://captivatedev.com/series/captivate-javascript-series/
    In Captivate you create an advanced action to be triggered on entering the first slide, that will jump to the wanted slide number. If you can figure out how to pass the slide number, could help with the advanced action, I know them rather well:

  • Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

    I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
    "Bridge's parent application is not active."
    Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
    Any suggestions.
    Cheers

    Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

    The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be?  I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

  • Starting an action by opening an image in Camera RAW

    I am currently using Adobe CS3 Design Premium with Windows XP Pro as the operating system. The computer is a self build and has 2GB of RAM, 450GB of onboard HD storage and 6x500GB of external HD storage.
    As a photographer I frequently end up with anything between a 100 and 300 RAW images after a days work and convert them to DNG, Tif and JPEG files.
    With CS2 I ran an action which opened the image in Camera RAW which then enabled me to make adjustments before opening the image in Photoshop and completing the other elements of the action. Since upgrading to CS3 I have been unable to create a similar action and having read the "knowledge based" information and looked through the topics in the forum have failed to find anything that is of help. As each image and the conditions under which it has been taken differ it is quite important to make corrections in Camera RAW before completing the action in Photoshop and fixed settings applied by Camera RAW would be inappropriate.
    It is always possible that I am making a fundamental error in writing the action but given my previous experience it seems unlikely. Incidentally I usually bring up the images in Bridge and then select the best images to process and start the action from Bridge.
    I should be very grateful for any help in resolving this problem

    >It is always possible that I am making a fundamental error in writing the action but given my previous experience it seems unlikely. Incidentally I usually bring up the images in Bridge and then select the best images to process and start the action from Bridge.
    there's your problem...when you start the action recording from Photoshop you'll need to actually open a raw image FROM Photoshop not from Bridge. Don't know if this changed from CS2>CS3, but that's the only sure way of recording an open function...from within Photoshop. Then in the Batch you'll still need to override open so the open will open the image with the parameters already set in the image.

  • I have downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the Sony a6000 camera.  However it is not opening the images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    I have downloaded Adobe camera raw 8.4 so that I can open raw files with pictures taken with the Sony a6000 camera.  However it is not opening the images in camera raw.  What can I do?

    Close and restart Photoshop if you have not already done so.
    In Photoshop, go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu then choose Camera Raw.  What version does it say there?

  • Can't open Camera Raw from Bridge CS3

    Need Help with the following issue. Until recently I was able to open & edit camera raw files in Bridge CS3. Tried to update Bridge from Adobe website and all of a sudden the "open in camera raw" option under File is greyed out. Also right-clicking the raw (CR2) file does not allow me to open the file in camera raw and I can't view the files as thumbnails any longer. When I double click the file Photoshop opens and subsequently camera raw. I have really lost the convenience of opening the file in Bridge and I'm afraid my workflow will suffer. Any help would be appreciated. I am running Windows 7. Thanks.

    I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

  • Can't open jpegs into Camera Raw from Bridge

    Everytime I right click on an image to open it into camera raw I get a message telling me
    Bridge's Parent Application is not Active
    Bridge Requires that a qualifying product has been launched at
    least once to enable this feature.
    What???
    I don't get it, PS CC is open, so I would have thought that would be the parent application.  It used to do it, like until a few days ago.  What has happened?

    Yep, you would think, but it is open, and it won't do it.  the only way I seem to be able to do images in camera raw is to use the camera raw filter in the PS.
    It will open a raw file if I double click on it, but not if I right click and select open in camera raw.

  • Impossible d'ouvrir image dans Camera Raw via Bridge

    Bonjour à tous et à toutes,
    Je sais que cette question a déjà été posées maintes et maintes fois sur le net, mais n'ayant pas trouvé de réponse(s), je pose la question sur le forum d'Adobe; il y a peut-être une chance que j'ai une réponse.
    Alors voilà mon problème :  quand je suis sur Bridge (que Photoshop est ouvert) et que je fais un clic droit sur une image (quelque soit son extension) > ouvrir dans Camera Raw, ou quand je vais dans Edition > Préférences Camera Raw, j'ai le message suivant :
    "La modification à l'aide de Camera Raw n'est pas activée.  
    La modification à l'aide de Camera Raw nécessite l'exécution préalable d'un produit adapté pour que cette fonction puisse être activée."
    J'ai bien pensé tout désinstaller pour réinstaller, mais dans les divers messages lus sur le web, j'ai vu que ça n'avait pas servi.
    Alors, j'arrive à ouvrir mes images sous Camera Raw via Photoshop (je fais Fichier > Ouvrir sous, puis je choisis Camera Raw comme type), mais je voudrais pouvoir le faire, non pas via Photoshop, mais via Bridge.
    Sinon, toujours dans Bridge (je ne sais pas si c'est lié mais), j'ai découvert qu'en faisant Édition > Préférences de couleurs Creative suite, j'avais un message similaire suivant :
    "Suite color management n'est pas activé.
    Suite color management nécessite qu'un produit remplissant les conditions requises ait déjà été exécuté au moins une fois pour que cette fonction puisse être activée."
    Est-ce quelqu'un (d'Adobe ou... peu importe) aurait une idée pour régler ce(s) problème(s) ?
    Y-a-t-il des choses que je n'ai pas installé et que j'aurais dû ? En effet, bien qu'ayant la Créative suite, je n'ai pas installé tous les logiciels (comme Dreamweaver, Audition, After effect ou je ne sais quoi d'autre) et extensions.
    D'avance merci pour vos réponses.
    Bonne journée à vous.

    Bonjour,
    Moi non plus je n'arrive pas à gérer les paramètres de couleurs dans Bridge (par le menu Edition>Paramètres de couleurs Creative Suite). Le message est toujours le même :
    "Suite Color Management n'est pas activé
    Suite Color Management nécessite qu'un produit remplissant les conditions requises ait déjà été exécuté au moins une fois pour que cette fonction puisse être activée."
    Quelqu'un a-t-il trouvé la solution depuis les derniers posts svp ?
    Je précise que j'ai essayé les techniques évoquées :
    • réinstallation de l'ensemble de la suite CS6
    • suppession du cache de Bridge
    • ouvrir Bridge après avoir ouvert Illustrator et/ou InDesign
    • Gérer les autorisations sur le fichier comme le propose Adode sur le lien http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-suite-color-management-enabled.html
    Sinon existe t-il d'autres solutions pour synchroniser les couleurs sur l'ensemble de la suite Adobe, sans passer par Bridge, et sans le paramétrer un à un dans chaque logiciel ?
    Mystère mystère...

  • Tiff previously edited in ACR will not open in Camera RAW from Bridge

    Yes, I have googled this and found instances going back to 2010 with no satisfactory answer. I have Photoshop 5.1 and the latest ACR and Bridge that work with it. 2011 MAC Mini 10.8.2.
    I scanned a landscape oriented printed email image at 800 spi as a portrait orientation and saved it as a tiff. I opened this tiff in Preview and decided it needed more than minor tweaks so I opened it in ACR from Bridge, made a few adjustments and saved it. I thought I could see what I was doing better if it was in landscape orientation again so I opened it in Preview and rotated 90 deg CCW, saved it as a tiff. Going to Bridge I found Open in Camera Raw greyed out. I went back to Preview to see if I could get what I needed in its Tools while viewing it in landscape. Adjustments took forever this time, so I gave up and took a look at the image characteristics. Rotating in Preview had changed the image size to 3.3333...... times larger at 240 ppi still aRGB, still a tiff. This has never happened before, including slow adjustments
    I duplicated the rotated file and changed it back to 800 ppi and normal size, went to Bridge, Camera Raw still greyed out. Original unrotated image
    that had been edited in ACR and saved will still open in ACR.
    All kinds of strange things have happened since updating to 10.8.2, but I don't think this is one of them because of the complaints I have seen that date back to 2010. I did a full maintenance routine, i e cleared RAM, reboot in single user with fsck -fy, repaired permissions, back up with SuperDuper which repairs permissions again. Then I tried Bridge again, original will open, rotated won't.
    Anyone know the answe?

    The answer is that making edits in ACR and saving it creates layers in the tiff and Bridge will then not open it again in ACR unless you flatten it. I still don't know why Preview increased the image size by 3.333.....x or why ACR increased the tiff file size by 2.6x and why the flattened tiff is 2x the file size of the original scan but the image dimensions are the same. This stuff apparently is above the pay grade of anyone in google, too.

  • Can't open NEF with Camera Raw from Bridge

    I recently updated to CS6 and got a new Nikon D600.  Downloaded the lastest DNG converter but when I pull up files in Bridge I can't open them with Camera Raw anymore.  My process was to open in Bridge.  Select the NEF files I wanted then click mouse+control, which gave me a menu to open in Camera Raw.  Now my only option is Photoshop CS6.  I downloaded the trial for Photoshop CC and Bridge CC but still can't select to open with Camera Raw.
    What is going on?  I have never had issues like I have been.  HELP Please.

    From your description it sounds as if Camera Raw isn't installed, or is installed incorrectly. In Photoshop go to Help/about plug-ins/Camera Raw and verify that you have it installed correctly. Since you are on a Mac, I cannot advise as to where it should be installed.
    The other thing I have been thinking about in your situation is, how were these images downloaded from your camera?if you used an older version of Nikon Transfer it can alter the files so that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw.
    Do you have other software like ViewNX2 or CaptureNX2, and will those programs open your files?
