Procedure for opening jpegs in Camera RAW

I am helping a friend who is running Elements 6 on an iMac.  I can't seem to find the setup which will allow him to open jpegs in Camera RAW.
I know this must be simple but I'm having trouble.  Thanks for your help.
Mary Lou

Barbara, while I have your attention, one of my struggles is that my students are partly working on a Mac and some on a PC and Elements isn't identical on both platforms.
I frequently use the slideshow in Bridge on my Mac.  I took the time to watch a tutorial in Elements 7 working from Organizer.  It has so many more options than slideshow on a Mac.  Can PC users access it from the Organizer even if they aren't currently using the Organizer?  I normally teach students to control their downloads by placing images in specific folders, either in Pictures or on an external hard drive.  Will the Organizer still be available for viewing a folder of images stored elsewhere?
Thanks,
Mary Lou

  • How to stop CS4 opening JPEGs in Camera Raw?

    Hi guys,
    I'm hoping someone out there can help.  Recently for some reason CS4 decided it wanted to open all JPEGs in Camera Raw.
    I am trying to restore whatever setting has changed so JPEGs open directly in Photoshop not Camera Raw.
    And before anyone states the obvious yes, I have deselected "Open JPEGs in Camera Raw" under Camera Raw prefs.
    I am on a mac (OS X 10.5.7) and have installed the latest updates for CS4 (Camera Raw is version 5.0.0.178).
    Any (constructive) input would be welcome.  Cheers.

    Generally, once a JPG has been opened in ACR and has an embedded adjustment
    recipe it will continue to be opened in ACR even though you have the
    preference set to not prefer ACR for JPGs.
    Your verbiage is different than what I see for Camera RAW Preferences in ACR
    5.4 on Windows, so maybe you need to update to the latest ACR or maybe Mac
    and PC versions of ACR are different.
    In my CS4 Extended (11.0.1) / Edit / Preferences / Camera RAW preferences
    for ACR 5.4, down at the bottom, you can set JPG and TIFF Handling - JPEG to
    Disable JPEG Support instead of Automatically open JPEGs with Settings to
    make it ignore the settings in JPEG and/or TIFF files.

  • Opening jpegs into camera raw

    I have CS3 Windows and have been reading Kelby's book 7-Point System where he opens jpegs into camera raw. However, the explanation is poorly written for someone who has never done that. Can someone explain? Thanks.

    If you use Bridge just right click on thumb and "Open in Camera RAW" is an option in menu.

  • How do I open jpegs in Camera Raw?

    I can't seem to find any instruction on how to open jpegs in Camera Raw. It says that it will do it, but I haven't found the way to do it. Command R is never highlighted when I'm in Bridge and click on a jpeg. Help!
    Thank you,
    Gregg

    I am encountering the same problem in Bridge. Although I marked the preference to open jpeg in Camera Raw. Everytime SC3 opens with the picture.
    In early July I folowwed a thread discussing the same problem - without solution. Could it be that this is a bug in Bridge and hopefully Adobe is working on an update?

  • Opening jpegs in Camera Raw 4.1?

    I just received some jpegs from Getty and I decided to see what they looked like when I opened them using ACR as opposed to just opening them in PSCS3. What I found was that with the default settings the files from ACR had less saturation? The jpegs had no profile embedded, so when I opened the jpeg in PS, I assigned Adobe RGB (1998), which is what was used in ACR. I am just trying to figure out what is the benefit of opening up a jpeg in ACR?

    Although recovering highlight and shadow detail will not be as dramatic when working with JPEGs in Camera Raw, I find it very useful to use the different controls to make adjustments to my images. I have also found that I have made a dramatic change in the amount of time it takes me to process a batch of images. I now routinely load groups of JPEG images into camera raw, make adjustments and synchronize all images wherever possible. It has made photo editing seem almost effortless compared to what I was doing before. I now find that I can do most of my editing in Camera Raw without ever having to open the images in Photoshop.
    In many instances, I find that I can simply use the Image Processor to open my images and prepare them so that I can send them to a local lab for processing. That is one area where I find Photoshop/Bridge very useful. The only problem I'm having with Camera Raw is that I have not yet figured out how to use the redeye tool. So in my last batch of pictures of my little granddaughter, the only editing I did in Photoshop was to use the redeye tool on a couple of the pictures. Camera Raw pretty much did everything else for me.

  • Cannot open jpeg in camera raw photoshop cc

    I can open the jpeg file in photoshop cc and in bridge. If I try to open in photoshop cc using open as (windows 7 32 bit) I get an error message "Could not complete your request because the file-format cannot parse the file" when I select camera raw. If I open the jpeg directly in photoshop cc, the file opens ok and then I can use camera raw thru filters. The file will open fine in camera raw via bridge.  This same jpeg file opens fine in camera raw using phtoshop cs6.
    thanks
    Denis

    I am experiencing this same problem. The file was created by xray software. It opens with Windows Photo just fine. This problem was never answered for DenisL111. Why is that?

  • 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.

  • In Bridge, can't open jpeg in camera raw

    I have CS3 installed on several computers. On one of them, apparently Bridge and/or Raw never updated to the ability to open a jpeg in Raw. I can do this on the other computers. When I suggest running updates, it says none are needed. I'm confused.
    Mike

    Jim,
    Actually I'd only discovered this feature recently as Bridge was not program of choice - my 7 yr. old system didn't have resources to handle PS and Bridge well simultaneously, having only 512 MB RAM. Was lucky to run Photoshop alone, s_l_o_w_l_y on a P4. This all changed with 4GB RAM and a dual core. What a relief.
    Old system dubbed 'Frankenstein' sits networked in pasture in case of need for XP dependent programs or external bkups which no longer run in Vista without wiping data and reformatting. Fortunately won't need them to thanks to networking the two. Only thing not supported by Camera RAW is .bmp which I'll convert. Files from scans years ago of old photos before understanding formats. Live n' learn.
    Much of the time I use Lightroom in lieu of Bridge, but there are times it comes in handy for quick access. Now that Lightroom 2 works interactively with Photoshop it's made this less necessary, but still have uses for both.
    John~
    You are indeed fortunate Vista is your friend. Must have plenty of RAM to run 64 bit. I on the other hand run 32 and intend to downgrade next fresh install so previous peripheral investments work again. Did not play nicely and Microsoft failed to support their own products, deserving a hall of shame award IMO. Still waiting for MS's next OS, as functional and non functional skip generations with that company.
    Close friend also loves Vista, but couldn't help noticing he runs an XP machine on the side like myself.... hehe just in case for specific needs. I'm sure he wouldn't mind my saying we are both happy for you though. ;^D Whatever works. Each person has different needs as always.

  • CS4 Bridge does not open JPEGs in Camera Raw 5.6 which is grey

    I downloaded Camera Raw 5.6 onto my iMac (Snow Leopard).   I have an Olympus E-620.   ORFs (raw) open in bridge, but the Camera Raw is greyed out in the file menu.   Also, Camera Raw does not show up under "open with".   My husband has iMac (same configuration) - his Camera Raw 5.6 shows up and he can open up JPEGs in RAW, which I cannot.   I checked his settings against mine - seem to be the same.   Suggestions???

    Purge the cache for those folders and if that doesn't work, trash the Preferences for Bridge.

  • Cannot open jpeg in camera raw format

    In Elements 9 I have the option to "open as..." camera raw but the camera raw window does not open up when I pick the photo and choose that option.  Any help would be much appreciated!

    akarony2
    In accord with what has been written already in this thread, I suspect that you intended your question for Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements Forum since the Open As route to JPEG in the Camera Dialog is one of the features of the Photoshop Elements Full Editor.
    Just in case, I wanted to contribute the following thoughts on the use of Camera Raw in the "Elements" environment:
    1. Your camera supplying the raw images needs to be supported by the version of Camera Raw and that version needs to be supported by the Photoshop Elements version that you are using (two separate and needed thoughts).
    2. On the Premiere Elements side of things, you can import raw and dng images into Premiere Elements but you have to have an appropriate version of Camera Raw plugin installed for Premiere Elements. In earlier versions of Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements, these programs did not share the same program files location for the Camera Raw Plugin. In more recent ones, they do.
    3. You cannot open the Camera Raw dialog for editing purposes (raw or otherwise) from Premiere Elements. The Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop Elements will get you the Camera Raw dialog for editing purposes.
    4. Also in later versions, one can now use an automatic process for updating Camera Raw to the latest version for your particular version of Premiere Elements. Best, use the program's Help Menu/Updates.
    Hope the information will be helpful.

  • Opening jpegs in Camera Raw from Bridge

    While browsing in Bridge CS3, jpegs can magically be opened with a right click. Then, mysteriously some cannot. Why is that?

    (Sorry for my english, i dont speak very well >.<)

  • Why do JPEG files with LR Develop settings open in Photoshop Camera Raw?

    Why does an image that has been altered by Lightroom cause the RAW Converter to open when trying to view it in Photoshop. Perhaps this might help; if I import, enhance and convert a RAW image in Lightroom to a jepg image it will open in Photoshop without issue. However if I then alter the jpeg image in Lightroom, update the Metadata and try to view it in Photoshop it cause the Photoshop's RAW Converter to open. Is the alter image's information held in a side car file (xmp) that can'r be read by Photoshop? If so would I need to re-export, (convert), the image again in Lightroom to embedd the changes thus making sure it could be read by all the various programs that are available to view images. As is I send photographs to newspapers and print houses it is important for me to know if they would be receiving fully adjusted images or only the adjustments that were made prior to converting from RAW to jpeg. Just in case...I am new to Lightroom. Thanks in advance for any help.
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    When you update the metadata for a JPEG, it is saved internally (there is no sidecar). Any JPEG with Camera Raw develop settings saved in its metadata will open in the Camera Raw plug-in in Photoshop. That is the only way for Photoshop to deal with the Camera Raw settings. Camera Raw settings can be added by the Develop module of Lightroom or from the Camera Raw plug-in dialog in Photoshop or Bridge. To prevent the file from opening in Camera Raw in Photoshop, you have to remove the develop settings and other metadata that ties the file to Camera Raw.

  • Opening multiple jpegs in Camera RAW

    I can open a single jpeg in Camera RAW by changing the format option to Camera RAW.  If I want to process several images at the same time, in Camera RAW, I lose the format option for Camera RAW.
    Is it possible, in Elements, to open multiple jpegs in Camera RAW format?
    Mary Lou

    As mentioned above that multiple JPEGs can't be opened. I am also a huge fan of Camera Raw and recently moved to Lightroom which gives wonderful flexibility to use all these controls for various file formats with ultimate ease... Would recommend to start with Trial....

  • 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.
