Camera Raw in Bridge (CS3 for Mac) malfunctions

When processing DNG files in Bridge (CS3) neither Default nor Auto adjustments apply by default. And when choosing Auto the image becomes very dark. How can I correct this? Also where do I place newly downloaded Camera Raw Plugin? Does it need to be physically placed in both PS and Bridge?

Did you have also the solution for the first part?
I would prefer the default setting for a standard instead of the auto. Hit
auto might give you a hint in the direction you want but it is very
difficult to have this correctly for each file to my opinion.
But if you would like so you can make your own default camera setting. Make
the settings you want and then go to the menu under the little triangle
right next to basics in the ACR window. Inhere you will see an option to
save a new camera default. In the camera raw prefs (also reachable in
Bridge) you can choose to make those camera specific or even iso specific.
I found the answer to the second part of my question about installing the ACR
plugin

  • Can only open some JPEG files in Camera Raw through Bridge CS3

    I'm running Bridge CS3 version 2.0.0.975. I always edit my JPEG files through Camera Raw in Bridge CS3. I only have to Right-Click on the file and select "Open in Camera Raw...". However, I've come into a situation where some jpg files will not open this way; the option is not even there.
    I have made sure to tick the box in preferences under Behavior "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge", and also tick the box under Thumbnails -> Performance and File Handling "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF Files.
    These files were originally 16bit Grayscale TIFF files, but I changed them to RGB 8bit JPEG files.
    Also, I know the program works because I navigate to an older photo I worked which is a JPEG and the "Open in Camera Raw..." option is there when I Right-Click, but then I navigate back to the image I want to edit, and the option is not there.
    Here are links to my screenshots of what I'm talking about. Both images in the last two screenshots are JPEG:

    When I open Photoshop CS3, then go File -> Open As and change the Format Type to "Camera Raw", the JPEG files vanish and I can only see the TIF files. When I open them, it doesn't open in Camera Raw, but rather opens like a normal file would.
    That's a fundamental problem right there, and a clue in all this.  You should be able to see JPEGs in the Open As Camera Raw dialog.
    What happens if you type in the name?
    I'm almost convinced you have a file named .jpg but with a different image format inside.  Can you put one of these files online for others to try to open?

  • Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10:  Installation Failed error message.

    Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac:  Installation Failed error message.  Update downloaded directly from Adobe website.  Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished.  Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

  • ? Camera raw 4 & pse 6 for mac

    I have camera raw 4, it came with my pse 6 for mac.  Every once in a while my computer tries to install an update, but it never works.  I would like to have the latest version of camera raw, but can pse 6 handle it?  If not, what is the highest version it can handle and how do I install it?  I question, because the updated version isn't installing, so there must be a trick...
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks

    Here are the mac updates for PSE:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    I've forgotten, but I think you can do 5.6 for PSE 6/mac, although 5.5 is the last version listed. Follow the directions in the read me for where to put the plug-in, but if it says you can overwrite the existing plug-in, that's just wrong. You have to remove the older plug-in before putting the new one into the folder.

  • 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.

  • Update Camera RAW in PSE 8 for Mac installs but doesn't function

    I've researched the forums and tried reinstall of PSE 8 and downloading the camera RAW updates. both 5.7 and 6.1. After looking at the various proposed solutions I can't seem to find the exact answer I'm seeking.
    The Camera RAW update installation completes properly but still won't open my Olympus EPL-1 RAW (.ORF) files.
    The Camera RAW Plug In info still says version 5.5.0.97
    I can view the .ORF files in Bridge, modify them and save as .dng, then open them in PSE 8.
    I'm new at this but assumed I would be able to open the .ORF files in PSE 8 without all the conversion. Did I miss something?

    You can't install ACR in PSE via the Adobe updater. It's lying to you. You need to go here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
    download the latest update and follow the instructions in the readme exactly. You need to remove the old plugin from the folder before putting the new one in there.

  • 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.

  • Camera Raw (via Bridge) starts to malfunction. Help!

    Windows XP Media Centre.
    PS CS3.
    This is not the first time this has happened to me.
    I am editing and saving images in Camera Raw via Bridge and suddenly, I cannot activate the Save Image command. The entire Camera Raw window just greys out and/or the Taskbar pops up in front of the Save Image button.
    It's as if the Taskbar is invisibly blocking the Save Image button and appears when I try to use it.
    Previously, I've had to use Control/Alt/Delete to close Camera Raw (the Cancel and Done buttons don't work either.
    Another weird thing.....if I click on the Heal Tool, it will only appear on the image *above* the highest previous healing mark. If I drag the + tool symbol in amongst previous heal marks, it reverts to the mouse cursor! Bizzare!
    Anyone else had this problem?
    Any ideas?

    Sorted.
    Though I didn't touch it, the Toggle to Full Screen Mode had been activated.
    This, for some reason, prevents the bottom half of the Camera Screen from working.

  • Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Best Way to Open Files in Camera Raw Hosted by CS3?

    Hello. I can no longer open Camera Raw in Bridge, only in CS3. I have read posts regarding this problem. If I cannot get Camera Raw (4.2) working in bridge soon, what would be the most efficient way to edit 900 DNG files in Camera Raw hosted by CS3. I really need to process these files for a client in 2 days, so I really do not have too much time to install and re-install software. I am afraid I may create a bigger problem. Thanks a lot.
    Francis Valentine

    Francis,
    First, make sure you are running Bridge 2.1.0.100. If not, update ASAP.
    Go to "About Plug-in" in the Help menu of Photoshop and verify that you are running ACR 4.2 and that only one copy of ACR is present. You cannot have more than one.
    Purge the Cache for each offending folder through the Tools menu in Bridge, not in Bridge Preferences.
    Those are the only tips I can offer, as I don't do Windows. Hope the Windows users jump in.

  • Why the colors look so different betweet my Camera Raw and Bridge?

    We know that after editing images in Camera Raw, thumbnails in Bridge will updated according to the new xmp files.
    However, for some of my Raw files, the colors look very different in Bridge after makeing adjustments in Camera Raw, I can see more red in those phoots. But when I reopen the file in Camera Raw, all the colors are just correct.
    For those photos without applying xmp files the colors looks exactly the same in Camera Raw and Bridge.
    Does this means that my Camera Raw and Bridge use different color space? How can I fix this problem? Thank you

    If you want help, you need to specify your platform (Mac or Windows), the exact versions of your Operating System, Photoshop, ACR plug-in and Bridge.
    Also look at your Bridge preferences and tell us what you have your Thumbnail preferences set to.
    Re-setting your preferences and purging the cache would also help.  It could be something as simple as a corrupt cache.
    Bridge is Color Managed, but it does not use a color space of its own.  It applies the color space with which each image is tagged, it assigns sRGB to untagged files.
    When was the last time you calibrated and profiled your monitor?
    Details would help.
