Bridge CS4 HATES Camera Raw 5.2, refuses to play

I've been dealing with this issue for a week now with no success.
Bridge will not open raw files in Camera Raw. period. Bridge will show raw image thumbnails, but I keep getting that annoying "Camera raw editing is not enabled" dialog box when I try and open them. I get the dialog when I try and access the preferences through Bridge as well.
I've tried everything I can think of:
- Opening PS CS4 ACR first, then clicking the Bridge button to launch Bridge. I've also tried opening an image and editing it first in PS.
= Made sure that ACR was installed in the correct location. It is, because PS ACR works, and Bridge obviously recognizes the plug-in.
- Tried raw files from different cameras.
Completely installed both Photoshcp and Bridge AND erased my harddrive. I am and was using OSX 10.5.5
- Created another user. Interestingly (I think), PShop and Bridge didn't work at all with Camera Raw. The Camera Raw plug-in was installed in the right place, but the permissions were locked for the file for this user. I tried to change them in the GET INFO box, but it didn't help. I had to download the ACR fresh from Adobe and erase the other one to work with this new user account. And no, after doing that, Bridge still would not open ACR files. Going back to my real user account, I had to erase the ACR file and do the same thing, because now the permissions for THIS user were locked.
- So, I tried to repair permissions on the entire system next. It fixed a couple things that had to do with Quicktime.
Now I'm back to square one. It seems like this might be a unique problem to me, but I have seen other forums that include people on both PC and Mac with this same problem. Their fixes do nothing for me though.
Are there any genius relationship experts that can get Bridge and ACR to be friends again?!
Thanks

Philip,
 
 It's perfectly OK to have one copy of ACR installed in the correct folder for each different version of Photoshop you have installed.
 
 I have every version of Photoshop from 7.0.1 through 11 ("CS4") happily coexisting on my machine, and ACR 2.4, 3.7, 4.6 and 5.2 in its corresponding folder.
 
 


However

, and that's a big
however, the only two instances of
Camera Raw.plugin shown in your EasyFind are
definitely in the wrong place!
 
 According to the path shown in the
Where column, you have one loose on your Desktop and another one in a wrong Camera Raw folder, where it shouldn't be.
 
 This is what a similar EasyFind search yields on my machine:

Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Adobe Bridge (CS4) and Camera Raw 5.4

I use a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and store in RAW-format.
The camera is updated with latest software etc.
I have the Adobe Design CS4 package on my computer and updated to the camera raw 5.4 version (bridge/photoshop/etc).
All this is updated to last versions / updates etc.
I upload my pictures from the camera to my computer.
When I inspect the files with the Canon software such as "Digital Photo Professional 3.6.1.0" or "Canon Utilities ZoomBrowser EX 6.3.1" (this are the latest versions and updates) the files are copied correct to my computer.
The files can be opened with the canon software without any problem and can be modified and converted and all normal operations can be performed.
The files can also be converted to ".jpg" and no problem occurs.
The problem starts after the folder with the pictures (in RAW-format) has been opened / viewed in Adobe Bridge or after Adobe bridge is started.
After starting and viewing with bridge the folder only some of the file become corrupted and cannot be used anymore.So the majority of the files remain OK but some files become corrupt.
A part of the picture is visible partly, the remaining part are lines, dots, squares etc and the divisions of correct picture and corrupted seems to be at random. There is no structure in the way the corrupted file are shown in bridge. Please look at the enclosed picture in this message.
The files can be opened in Camera Raw and Photoshop but they show the corrupted file and can be stored etc.
But the picture is destroyed.
Does anybody have a sollution or similar problems?
Best regards

There are forums for Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop.
Any of them would be better than posting here.

Canon 60D files can't be opened in Bridge (CS4 version); Camera Raw 6.6 has key features missing

I am a Mac user (latest OS) and had been using Camera Raw from Bridge CS4 (part of my Elements 8 bundle) to edit my raw pictures from Canon RebelXTi. I upgraded to a 60D, downloaded the pertinent Camera Raw plug-in, but my raw files still wouldn't open in Bridge. I purchased Elements 10, thinking that would solve all problems, but apparently Bridge and Camera Raw are no longer part of the package! I downloaded the latest Camera Raw patch for Elements 10 (6.6), and I can now open raw files from Photoshop, but the Camera Raw version is not full featured and Bridge still can't open my 60D files. How can I get the full version of Camera Raw back AND have my 60D files opened? I deleted Elements 8, but not Bridge, and I can still open raw files from my Rebel in the earlier full version of Camera Raw. When I check in Elements 10 preferences, only Camera Raw 6.6 shows up, so that should be correct. Any ideas?

The full-featured ACR with Elements loophole has been closed in the newer Mac Elements, I believe. Us PC folks never had Bridge with Elements or haven’t for many versions, already , so have already been limited in RAW processing with Elements. Adobe finally “fixed” the Mac version, too, I think.
For full-featured ACR and Bridge you’re supposed to pay for Photoshop. Perhaps Lightroom, that is half the cost of PS, and has all the adjustments of full-ACR and you could still link PSE as a final editor step of ACR-type adjustments aren’t enough.
An alternative is to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and then they’ll open in older versions of ACR, like the one that came with PSE 8, assuming you can still install that.

No matter what i try i cannot get Photoshop or Bridge to open Camera Raw Filters, how do i fix this?

no matter what i try i cannot get Photoshop or Bridge to open Camera Raw Filters, how do i fix this?
I have windows 8 and ive tried everything i can to open it but it refuses to let me.

Let's get some information first.
What is your version of Adobe Camera Raw, Bridge, and Photoshop?
What files are you trying to open in ACR? If Raw, for what camera model?

Using Lightroom Presets in CS4/5 Camera RAW

Hi,
I converted 50 Lightroom Presets I developed that work perfectly as
presets that can be used in PS CS4/5 Camera RAW. You can even apply them
in bridge by right-clicking on the image. Get some freebies and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Bridge CS6 and Camera Raw

I am unable to open jpegs into camera raw through Bridge CS6. Camera Raw preferences are unavailable. I am using OS 10.9.2.

Did you recently update to camera raw 8.4?
If so, you need to replace the existing camera raw 8.4 plugin with the one from this link:

Bridge showing generic Camera Raw thumbnails

Hi! I'm having trouble getting my Adobe Bridge to show the thumbnails for my camera raw files. I'm using Bridge 5.1, updated Raw plug in, as well as followed everything from this site Generic icons | Camera raw files | Adobe Bridge - to no avail. I'm using Camera Raw version 6.7.0.339.
I'm shooting with a Nikon D7100 (which is in the supported list of Camera Raw) and I'm running a Macbook Pro on OS X Yosemite version 10.10.
Attached is a screen shot of my plug in folder. If I need to show anything else to help diagnose this problem, please let me know! I just started shooting in Raw and I LOVE It, but hate not being able to see my thumbnails. .jpg's show just fine in Bridge.
Thank you so much for your help,
Jordan

DNG = Digital NeGative. New camera support requires new profiles. In this situation a DNG is Adobe’s combination of the original raw data and newer camera profiles, so that older ACR plug-ins can then use to decode the data.
The DNG Converter is available at the Downloads / Updates link I gave, earlier. Download and install it, then run it on a folder of NEFs and convert that folder to DNGs. Those DNGs will then be visible in the older Bridge/ACR.
You can get PS-CC for $10/month with the Photography Plan and it would be a pretty tight budget that can’t afford that, but ok:

PSE 8 compatibility with Adobe Bridge CS 5 Camera Raw

I have Photoshop Elements 8 installed with Camera Raw 5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit platform. I recently purchased Photoshop CS 5 which came with Camera Raw 6.2. I think both products work well independently, with the exception noted at the end of this posting. Where I'm encountering an issue is when I use Adobe Bridge to access an image file for processing which invokes Camera Raw 6.2. -- the changes made to the file show up in Adobe Bridge, but are not observable when the same file is viewed in the Photoshop Elements Organizer. When I look at the file properties I can see that Camera Raw 6.2 updated the file and the updated date does appear in the file properties accessible through PS Elements Organizer. However, the items listed in the Camera Raw metadata are different in the two products (PS vs PSE). Since the sidecar .xmp files are a form of XML, I'm wondering if Camera Raw 6.2 is writing data in a structure that is not supported by Camera Raw 5.5? I've tried to update PSE Camera Raw to version 6.2 following the instruction that appear on line, but it does not seem to install. Durring installation there are no error messages, but after the "installation" PSE Camera Raw still shows version 5.5. I noticed this first when editing a large number of "legacy" .jpg files, but I also have concern when editing Nikon .nef files.
It's a bit hard to tell, but when editing .nef files in Camera Raw 6.2 the changes may migrate to PSE once I tell PSE to update the thumbnail view. But what I observed was a very distinct differece in file's visual appeared when viewed in Adobe Bride CS5 vs PSE 8 Organizer. The PSE 8 images had greater color saturation. This leaves me wondering what's going on.

On my Windows 7 64 bit system the original version of Camera Raw.8bi was found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements8\File Formats\ and had a size of 11,781 Kb shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties listed the size as (12,063,088 bytes). The digital signature was signed Thursday, September 03, 2009 3:34:37 PM. To the best of my knowledge this is the version that shipped on the PSE 8 disk which I installed in December 2009.
There is another copy of Camera Raw.8bi found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\ and had a size of 11,856 Kb shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties list the size as (12,140,496 bytes). The digital signature was signed Friday, August 20, 2010 3:30:03 AM. This date post dates the installation of Photoshop CS 5 on my system so it must have happened through some (automatic?) update.
The Camera Raw.8bi file that I've down loaded from Adobe for ACR 6.2 is the same size and has the same signing date as the one identified immediately above in the CS5\File Formats\ sub folder.
When I copy the down loaded file into the Elements8\File Formats\ sub folder PSE still indicates that ACR is version 5.5
I also have a copy of ACR in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\ with a length of 14,526 KB shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties list the size as (14,874,576 bytes) and the signing date as Friday, August 20, 2010 10:39:07 AM. I presume this to be the copy of ACR used by Adobe Bridge and Photoshop which I installed as a 64-bit application. Since the signing date (but not the time) is the same as the date for the file in CS5\File Formats\ I'm guessing that it is also the result of an automatic update to version 6.2.
Something that's not making sense to me is that the down load was approximately 50 MB and I'm messing around manually moving a 12 MB file into a specific sub folder.

Bridge crashes with camera raw 4.4.1 installed, OK with 4.0

When I use Bridge with camera raw plugin 4.4.1 installed to navigate to a folder with at least one raw image shot with Sony Alpha 100, it consistently crashes. I can open the same image using Photoshop and Camera raw without a problem, so the image is not corrupted. Bridge works as expected with raw files from Sony Alpha 700.
If I revert to camera raw plugin 4.0 it works like a charm for Sony Alpha 100 pics, but my new Sony Alpha 700 is not supported.
I have tried using a clean user account, with no caches at all so that can not be the problem. I'm on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.3 and CS3.

I'm still looking for some help.
Now that I've learned a little bit more, let me try to restate my problem. In using both a Nikon D200 and a new Nikon D300. For software I'm using PS CS3 Extended Edition, as a part of Adobe's CS3 Design Premium suite. My Dell Inspiron 530 is running Vista Home Premium.
As I've said before, my problem is that I cannot open NEF files shot with either the D200 or D300 (and they are uncompressed NEF files). I downloaded the new Camera Raw plug-in, ver. 4.3.1, and unzipped it to \program files\common files\adobe\plug-in\CS3\file format. The Camera Raw.8bi file is dated 11/30/07 and is about 10,446,000 in size. Then I run a search of my hard drive to make sure there are no other Camera Raw files anywhere. Then, in PS Bridge, I purge the cache of the file folder where the NEF files are located. Then I try to open a NEF file and get the following error message in a PS CS3 Extended box:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
Then, immediately afterwards I ran another search of my hard drive, and the Camera Raw.8bi file is GONE, DISAPPEARED, VANISHED.
Is the problem with the CS3 Entended Edition?
Can anyone help me out here, particularly you Nikon shooters?
Thanks for any advice.

Bridge CS3 and Camera Raw

Hello, I have Bridge CS3 that came with Adobe Web Standard that I bought when I have doing web design. I also have Photoshop CS that I use for my camera digital editing. At a camera club today they were using Bridge and Photoshop CS5 to show what it can do. The man completing the demo said that Camera Raw was inbuilt into Bridge and that I should have it. I've been using Adobe DNG convertor for my RAW editing as I didn't know nothing about Camera Raw but seeing it in action and how much better it is over the DNG I want to use that instead.
I've searched high and low for Camera Raw on my PC but I cannot find it. I've tried downloading it from here but it says No and to quit.
My RAW files have the .DNG extension if that makes a difference.
So, am I missing Camera Raw and if so, how can I get it :?:
Thanks

You can download the latest update of ACR for your software version here....

Hex core efficiency in Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw 6.0

Conclusion: Batch processing of files in Bridge CS5/Camera Raw 6.0 is limited by an unknown factor which I currently believe to be software design and/or software implementation. While performance on a dual core would be more or less CPU bound, and on a quad core would use the bulk of the available CPU power most of the time, on a hex core machine the CPU is woefully underutilized; i.e. I could be doing the same work in substantially less time.
Suggestion: At the very minimum, allow the option to have Bridge/Camera Raw process N (where we choose N, given that a dual socket motherboard will be able to have 24 cores in the very near future) files simultaneously, so we can tune our own systems for the disk IO vs CPU bottlenecks we each have. At best, automatically keep the CPU(s) running all cores at or near peak all the time, or until you run out of disk IO bandwidth.
Observations taken with the Windows 7 Resource Monitor and the SirReal G15 keyboard applet
Camera Raw Batch actions:
When I select a number of photographs (I typically select scores to hundreds), either fresh RAW files from a Canon 50D or existing DNG's converted with prior versions of Photoshop, and apply some change to all of them (for instance: changing from the 2003 Process with ACR 4.6 camera profile to the 2010 Process with the Camera Neutral camera profile, I see very tiny sections of disk IO (not exceeding 20MB/s on a high end SSD), no hard faults/s in memory, no real network IO, and CPU follows a very distinct pattern, with about .75 to 2 seconds at each of the following CPU levels, in sequence:
18 (one core plus a bit)
70-88 (5ish cores)
18-23% (one core plus a bit)
45-55% (about 3 cores)
repeat
A very important feature for me, Bridge CS5 Preview Extractions on a new folder show 33-45MB/s of disk activity, and a solid, exact 25% (1.5 cores) of CPU with dips to 19% or so. This very clearly indicates that the Preview Extraction feature isn't able to use most of the cores in my processor.
Build: a new build computer (Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H rev1.0, BIOS F6) with an AMD Thuban 1090T 3.2Ghz hex core (running 5% above clock, FSB change to 210Mhz from the 200Mhz default, Prime95 stable for days), with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and all Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop cache and files running on an OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD. OS is Windows 7 64-bit. OS level page file is completely disabled.

Is it possible you're overwhelming the main memory bandwidth by the fact that you are working on (multiple) large images? Multi-core machines can only work on as much data as they can get from/to memory, and what you're doing is kind of flushing data right through the cache. I'm less familiar with the AMD architecture, but doesn't the concept of 6 cores on one chip mean that they ALL share one main memory buss? This could be a case where given the task, more cores is not better.
It may also very well be that the entirety of Photoshop, which is at its core a relatively old application (architecture-wise), is not programmed to use multi-threading as well as it might be. Getting multi-threading to work right in an application is no picnic. And don't forget, this software is crafted to build and work in two widely different environments (Mac and PC) and so may not be able to use all the fanciest features of any one of those two realms.

Camera raw 7-2 refuses to install into Photoshop CS6

trying to install camera raw 7-2 beta release into Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro, OSX 10.8.1. Installation commences, then I get Error Code: U44M2P15. I have tried new downloads of camera raw, restarting the Mac to no avail. Any ideas??? I need this release to view Sony ARW files generated by the new Sony DMC RX100 camera. Thanks for any assistance!

Thanks for your assistance Jeff. I wish it was so simple. I ended up on the Adobe customer chat where some very kind techs helped me out. The issue was ultimately resolved by reinstalling CS6.
This was way more complicated than it sounds! I ran the photoshop 6 uninstaller, which encountered an error. Following the online error advice, I then installed the Adobe cleaner and run it a couple of times, with restarts. There were still Photoshop 6 files sitting in the Utilities folder. I dragged these to trash manually. Photoshop 6 would not install, giving an error message about halfway through. After nearly 2 hours of tech chat and multiple interventions, the Mac was started in SAFE mode and permissions repaired, photoshop reinstalled from original CD, then upgraded.
Camera raw 7.2 was then installed successfully, and now my Sony Rx100 ARW photo are brightly displayed in Bridge.
I hope this helps anyone else out there who experiences similar problems. Another installation of camera raw 7.2 on different mac (OS10.8.1) running Photoshop 6 was event-free.

Bridge not opening Camera Raw -- Opens in PS instead?

I am trying to open files in Bridge using Camera Raw. I have checked "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings In Bridge", but double clicking instead opens photoshop and then opens camera raw from photoshop. I looked under file type associations and under NEF the default application was photoshop, so I thought, I will get it to open in ACR, but there doesn't appear to be an option to select that.
How do I get my files to open in ACR in bridge?
I just found that if I tried to edit ACR options it said the 'not enabled, qualifying product' message

I use CTRL R to open in Camera Raw with out opening Photoshop.

Bridge CS5 XMP/Camera Raw issues

I was using Bridge normally to browse photos / pdf's ect. Suddenly, almost „out of the blue” it stopped to store any settings and changes I made to photos.
For example: I open Bridge, double click on photo (RAW format), camera raw opens, and then I make some adjustments. Click „Done”. Camera raw closes. Normally preview of that photo was updated and settings stored in the XMP file. Now all this is just not working: I can make any adjustment but when I click „done” it closes the Camera raw without saving changes. Purging cache does not work. Open file directly from Photoshop does not work. I checked access permission to particular folder and photo and they are ok. Did somebody have same problem? Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

Several thoughts. First check to see if the image has not changed to read only. Open Windows Explorer for this. Sometimes computer changes this without any input.
Have you changed to an external drive where permisson could be an issue?
Check the HD where cache is and make sure you have free space. Should have 20% free. So if you have a 500 gig drive you should have 100 gigs free.
If this all checks out then I would reset preferences by holding down Ctrl key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Which version of windows best for PS CS4/5 Camera RAW

We are adding a new windows workstation that will primarily be used for processing Canon RAW files using CS4 or CS5 Camera RAW followed by a PS action. We can pick the version of CS and have OS options as well. We will be processing thousands of files per day and want the best performance. I would like to go with a 64 bit workflow and am leaning toward Win7 64 bit with CS5. My IT dept has said that there are "known" issues with Win 7 and Camera RAW and offer 64 bit XP as an option. This is not my area of expertise. We mostly use Macs for this work but use PCs for one workgroup.
Is there a known issue with Win7 and Camera RAW and or Photoshop CS5 or CS4?
What is the optimum Win OS and version of PS and Camera RAW for maximum performance and hopefully stability?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
--David

Windows 7 x64 is excellent for Photoshop and Camera Raw operations. IT people are notoriously overconservative and tend to recommend XP. That said, Windows 7 does take some tweaking and possibly some freeware add-ons to make it a really productive environment.
I'd suggest 8 to 16 GB of RAM and at least 4 processor cores.
Perhaps one of the more important aspects of operation is choice of the video card, and the stability of the video drivers. The current versions of Photoshop use OpenGL heavily, and only very recently have video drivers begun to be stable with OpenGL operation.
Adobe lists the cards they've tested with.
My own experience is with ATI (specifically a Visiontek Radeon HD 4670), and while it's plenty fast and I've had reasonably good results with the latest drivers, it's now a bit dated and you should look to others to offer their experiences with other brands/models as well.
-Noel
P.S., The 64 bit build of Camera Raw is quite a bit faster than the 32 bit build, insofar as it uses multiple cores to do the work, while the 32 bit build is limited to running on one core for some reason.
