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 will not open camera raw - but hangs!!

Just installed CS 5 web premium upgrade from CS4 web P - but Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - it hangs!! - but camera raw can open via Photoshop ext. 64 bit on my Windows 7 pc.
Whats wrong???

In that case I would try resetting Bridge preferences by holding down Ctrl as you start Bridge.
Before that, ensure that there isn't a hidden copy of Bridge running under Task Manager > Processes.

Bridge does not open camera raw files

I am having this issue with the bridge not opening cr2 files in acr. I have a new mac and installed CS6 with 7,4 acr. Has anyone come up with a solution to this bug?
The error message is :
camera raw editing is not enabled camera raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched once to enable this feature
I really would prefer to not uninstall this product and it is not the case that I have another trial copy. I have searched my computer and cannot find any.
Thanks for any new ideas on this bug.

I noticed that there are still adobe folders for photoshop and premiere on the computer. Should I just delete those folders?
Use Easy Find (Devon) and run Adobe in search field. From the list select the folders that you have doubt about and choose Show in finder option. Then look at the content. If it are custom settings like actions, tools, brushes best keep them save.
But to be totally on the save side select all search result and copy them to a separate disk as Back Up so you can always find some lost customized settings back. All other deleted files should be reinstalled as per new install on new disk.
I would like to get it right this time. I was also wondering if I can still download the dmg directly from adobe or is that not available anymore.
If you have bought a download version of the Master Collection for CS6 then their should be a possibility to download it again using your Adobe ID. The new CC can be downloaded again using ACC.
Otherwise you have to contact Adobe customer support for a new copy or download.

Bridge won't allow me to open Camera Raw because a qualifying product has not been launched, any suggestions?

Actually, it may be more to it. I just wasted good 7 hours on the issue: I transferred a big external drive from old WinXp system to my new W7 system, and faced the ownership mayhem ever since.
No matter what I did to the Volume Owner, Files Owner and attributes, recursive Directory Ownership jobs enduring tens of minutes at a time, nothing helped really.
Because you might have one more issue:
Use "Folder Options", either from Tools menu in Explorer, if menu shows, or via Control Panel.
Click on View tab, and find the box for "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)". Ignore that recommendation, uncheck.
Go now to the root directory of your troubled drive and you will see a hidden file "System Volume Information". This can be the "bad guy." Ensure that you have access to that file using the Properties / Security tab in a customary fashion! In my case that file was "padlocked", a small lock icon was placed over the folder icon to indicate that.
Only once I changed that, I was able to access the LR catalogs as a regular user. And only than LR was finally able to access existing previews and to display the grid image icons!
Ugrh.... Windows, the "personal computer system" is a mess, a labyrinth of convoluted intertwined dependencies, maybe created in competing departments and piled up atop of each other in an unseemly fashion. Compared to Unix and its derivatives it is a nightmare, which is a part of our lives for decades already.
I think that all the Apple users are now double-happy to have made the transition, when they see such "problems."

Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
"Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
Thanks, CMA

I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

How to open Camera Raw in Bridge, it comes up with the following error

How to open Camera Raw in Bridge, it comes up with the following error Bridge parent application is not Active   Bridge requires that a qualifing product has been lanched at least once to enable this feature. It opens in Photoshop CS6 & Elements 10 but not Bridge?

You need to look at all programs in your uninstall list, and see if you spot any old trials that are no longer active.
Camera Raw in Bridge and PS are the same program, so its not the program but access. Would have been nice it you had stated OS, but here are locatons of camera raw for both OS.
Win           Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings    note: appdata a hidden file.

Can't open Camera Raw in Bridge

One thing I noticed is that with CS5, when I choose Browse in Mini Bridge while in Photoshop, Bridge opens in the background. In CS6 when I browse in Mini Bridge, regular Bridge does not open, although I can open Bridge directly from Photoshop. The other strange thing is that I can open Camera Raw from mini Bridge, just not from regular Bridge. I get the same message as others get, that Bridge's parent application is not active and that I must launch a qualifying product at least once in order to open Camera Raw. I searched all the files I downloaded and installed for "trial" but nothing came up. Is there a certain file name or extension I should be looking for? Or is there some other way to solve the problem?
Thanks

Yes, but when I open mini bridge in CS5, I can see Bridge open on my taskbar at the bottom of the screen and I can click on it. In CS6 I can't see bridge open anywhere when I open mini bridge. It is like there is a separate version of bridge running invisibly or something. I don't understand it.
It sounds like your on a PC (Windows). Windows only allows one version of Photoshop and one version of Bridge to run are ang given time. There are also Preferences in the Bridge Advance setting to start bridge at log on. When this option is check Bridge stays open in the background and may be hidden. So if Bridge CS5 is running and you start Photoshop CS6 Bridge CS6 will not be able to start. So make sure the check box to start Bridge is not checked in both Bridge CS5 and Bridge CS6

Unable to open camera raw 6.0 from Bridge CS5

I just Installed photoshop CS5 and I am unable to view and open my NEF files in Camera Raw from Bridge CS5. It worked perfectly fine with Bridge CS4 and Camera Raw 5.1.0.30. Anyone has any suggestion other than using my old Bridge CS4. I have mas OS X 10.6.3 installed on my computer.
Many Thanks

I have de-installed and re-installed the entire photoshop CS5 and it is still the same... I am at lost and using my old CS4 bridge for now.
You'll need to confirm that the Camera Raw plug-in was correctly installed so that both Photoshop _AND_ Bridge can access it. For Mac the only correct location that is should be installed is: the root level Library (not the user Library). Inside of the Library look at Application Support/ Adobe/Plug-ins/ CS5/ File Formats/ Camera Raw.plugin
If the Camera Raw plug-in isn't there and/or any of these folders are not there then Camera Raw is not properly installed...if Camera Raw is correctly installed then you may need to do several things...first, in the folder you are trying to see raw images, go up under Tools/ Cache/ Purge Cache For Folder. If that doesn't work you may need to trash your Bridge CS5 preferences. To do that, hold down the Command/ Option/ Shift keys while double-clicking the Bridge app icon and choosing Reset Preferences...
If Camera Raw was not properly installed, sorry, can't help you...you may need to contact Customer Service for installing tech support.

Open camera raw greyed out in Bridge

I reinstalled my CS3 Photoshop and Bridge after replacing my hard drive in my Macintosh Pro desktop. All works well until I tried to use Bridge to open camera raw. "open camera raw" is greyed out and there is no way to open those files in Photoshop.
Everything in the rest of the software seems OK.
Thanks for any advice from you folks.
Greg

Bridge: Apply all CS3 updates in order, bottom to top.
Photoshop Version CS3 (not CS3 International), Start from the bottom with Buffering Extensions, 10.0.1 update, and you can go all the way to Adobe Camera Raw 4.6
If you have a camera models beyond what's supported in 4.6 and your OSX is 10.7 or later, download the 8.7.1 DNG converter.

Bridge CS6 insist to open Camera raw files via Photoshop CS6 instead of CC

Hi
I´ve trying to start using Photoshop CC instead of CS6. The problem is that my Bridge CS6 is opening Camera RAWs to Photoshop CS6 as a default instead of CC. I`ve changed Finder defaults and as well as Bridges own File type assosiations to use Photoshop CC as a default, but still it isnt working. I wouldnt want to delete Photoshop CS6 completely.
Any help, anyone?

Which version mac os x are you using?
If it's mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard, then post back before installing bridge cc.
I believe you need to install bridge cc so your camera raw files will open from the camera raw dialog in bridge cc to photoshop cc.
Also of note is the camera raw version for bridge cs6 doesn't have any of the new features that the bridge cc version of camera raw has.
If you open the the Creative Cloud Desktop.app, then you should see Bridge CC available for install.

Make sure you have camera raw installed. Look in PS help/about plugins/camera raw. There should be only one entry and it should be verson 6.x

Opening Camera Raw within Bridge

I just recently installed Photoshop CS3, and within bridge when I try to open up any raw image, it opens it up in camera raw, but within photoshop. I can't find the option that allows me to open camera raw within bridge without having to launch photoshop.
I've tried the help pages and what they've described for me to enable this function can't be found...so weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Henry

I would really appreciate anyone figuring this one out. I'd rather not have to reformat my mac AGAIN. I just had to because photoshop cs3 was not installing properly. I am running OSX10.4.10 or somthing like that.
I have Design Premium CS3.
While in Bridge, there is no option to open in CameraRAw, whether I right click or click on File.
In the Preferences, there is no option to make "double click opens in CameraRaw."
Work flow is seriously hampered by this defect.
I purged my cache, but I don't see how to reset all settings.
