Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it.  I had to download ACR7 and install it.
After the successful install of ACR7.3,  I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe PS C6 13.0.4  x64
I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help.  It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:
Where do I go from here?

  • Camera Raw stops functioning in Bridge CS6 after software update.

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.2 and just installed Adobe's Camera Raw 8 update.  Immediately afterwards, Camera Raw was disabled/greyed-out in Bridge CS6.  Even the Camera Raw Preferences dialog was disabled/unresponsive.  What went wrong?

    Same here,
    I'm using CS6 Master Collection with Mac OS X 10.9.2 and installed update to ACR 8.4.0.199.
    Since then I
    - don't see the ACR adjusted icon in Bridge
    - don't see changes made to pics in ACR in Bridge preview
    - don't have right-click option to open in ACR from bridge
    - cannot rotate RAW files in bridge (all commands grey'd out)
    - cannot apply last ACR settings (no such command on right-click)
    I can however open RAW files from Bridge via double click.
    I have a different hard drive with OS 10.6.8 and same installation of CS6 Master Collection, but NO upgrade on ACR. That one works as expected without any problems.
    I'm in urgent need of a solution, since always switching the OS is in no way a workflow on a professional workstation.

  • Why do Camera Raw mods show in Bridge CS6 on one machine but not the other?

    Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 are activated on our two MacBooks.  Before adding the second activation, image modifications performed in Camera Raw (8.4.0.199) would show in Bridge on our MacBook Pro.  Since then, they don't show on our MacBook Pro but do show on our MacBook Air.  On both machines, when we launch an image from Bridge, the modifications show in the Camera Raw window.  Is there a setting that we have inadvertenty modified on the MacBook Pro, that controls whether Bridge displays Camera Raw modifications?
    Interesting related factoid: the "Camera Raw Preferences" item in the "Abobe Bridge CS6" menu does nothing on our MacBook Pro but works normally on our MacBook Air.  It's like Bridge doesn't know that Camera Raw is around (?)

  • Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

    Hi folks,
    I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
    - No previews or ratings showing
    - Ratings filter not working
    - Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
    - Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
    I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
    Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

    This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit

  • Unable to preview raw photo on adobe bridge cs6 taken from Canon 6d

    Hi!  Hope you all can help me with this problem.  Some raw photos taken by the same camera (canon 6d)  on the same memory card can be previewed on adobe bridge but other raw photos cannot.  The setting for all of the photos are the same.  The photos that I can't preview shows a gray screen with CR2 icon.  Jpeg images can be previewed. 
    Your help is appreciated!

    Did you use a card reader for the download? 
    Are all the 300 files relatively the same size?
    Did you ues Tools/cache/purge and rebuild the folder cache?

  • The camera raw button in Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my camera raw files are hidden by a c

    The Camera Raw button in my Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my raw files are hidden by a cover that says PEF and has a camera raw icon on it.  I can open the files in camera raw if I double click on the file but I want to see the files and be able to use the camera raw button.  How can I fix it?

    This means you have not the correct ACR plug in to support your PEF files or no ACR plug in installed at all.
    In photoshop go to the menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera Raw.
    Here should be showing the version number of your ACR plug in (only 1 version should show btw)
    Then go to this site and check wether your camera is listed and what minimal version you need to open the files:

    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    Which operating system are you using?
    If your not using windows xp, vista or mac os x 10.6, then try the below updater for camera raw 8.6
    (camera raw 8.6 opens the same files 8.3 will, but adds new camera support among other things)

  • Camera Raw Preferences & Lens Corrections

    I downloaded CS5 this a.m. and cannot access the Camera Raw Preferences when in Bridge.  When I click on Preferences it does nothing.
    Also when in Camera Raw and click on the Lens Correction, I don't see the new lens feature that shows up in the various tutorials about this new lens correction feature.  The Lens Correction panel looks like the one in CS4, not what is shown for CS5.
    Any Suggestions?  I'm on a Mac Pro, running CS5 in 64 bit.
    Sue

    Thank you Rick!  Now I can quit pulling my hair out wondering why I don't see it.  It shows up in all the tutorials so you'd think it would be there.  I'm sure they'll hear about this and get the update out soon, but like you said  "How soon is soon?"
    Thanks again,  Sue
    Now if I can only figure out why Camera Raw Preferences won't open.  Maybe that will be fixed with 6.1.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw

    Hello,
    I need urgently help.
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe Bridge CS6 since more than 1 year, using Camera Raw, v 8.6.0.254 without any problems.
    Last month I bought a Mac Book Air and installed Photoshop Elements 12, Adobe Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6. But I'm still missing the possibility to open my pictures in Camera Raw.
    After downloading the actual version 7.01 of Camera Raw from the website of Adobe.com and trying to install it I got the following error report:
    UPDATE FEHLGESCHLAGEN;
    Updates konnten nicht installiert werden. Dieser Path ist für Sie nicht geeignet.
    Name of the downloaded program is: AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.
    What shall I do to get Camera Raw running?
    Thanks so much for your help

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.

  • Camera Raw Preferences greyed out in Bridge 4.05.11

    I have recently downloaded an update for Adobe Camera Raw / PS CS5 via automatic updates and now I cannot open raw files via Adobe Bridge (V4.05.011). When I double click the NEF file In Bridge it tries to open in PS but I get "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".  Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge is grayed out and Camera Raw plug-in does not appear in PS Help/About Plug-ins.
    I have checked that Camera Raw Plug In is still in the program files: common files>adobe>plug-ins>cs5>file formats.
    I have tried updating via the Updates in both Adobe Bridge and PS CS5 and it tells me there are no updates.
    I am using Windows XP 32 bit, PS CS5 V12.0.4
    I have been trying to fix this problem for days and would really appreciate some help.

    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 and Camera RAW preferences not working

    I'm setting up a new Macbook Pro, late 2013 15", 10.9.2
    CS6 Production Premium, Also have Indesign CS6, LR5, Acrobat Pro 11. Camera RAW is version 8.4. Everything is up to date.
    Bridge and Camera RAW preferences are not working correctly. Bridge prefs related to Bridge display, e.g. color theme, text beneath thumbnails, favorite locations, etc.. all work fine. Bridge prefs open and close fine with no errors. "Double Click Edits Camera RAW Settings in Bridge" does not take. Photoshop launches to open Camera RAW regardless of whether this is checked or not. Camera RAW preferences will not open. Selecting "Camera RAW Preferences" from Bridge does nothing. Camera RAW seems to work fine hosted by Photoshop.
    I tried a new user with the same results.
    What's up with this? Anyone else seeing this? Solution?

  • "Camera Raw Preferences..." / "Open in Camera Raw" broken (using Bridge 2.1.1.9)

    I'm having some trouble getting Bridge to see my Camera Raw plugin -- oddly enough, I can double-click on a raw file and it'll open in
    ACR via Photoshop, but it won't load in
    ACR on its own. On top of that, Bridge isn't showing me the thumbnails for any of my raw images (though it will show thumbnails for JPEGs) and both the "Camera Raw Preferences" and "Open in Camera Raw" menu items are grayed out:
    For what it's worth, I'm running Adobe Bridge 2.1.1.9 and Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on a MacBookPro running Leopard 10.5.2. Here's what I've tried so far:
    I've read over the entire "
    ++ Debugging ACR Installation Problems ++" thread and I've done my best to precisely follow the directions there...
    As mentioned in that thread, I've installed "Camera Raw.plugin" to Macintosh HD:Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats/ (and I've also searched my hard drive to confirm that this instance of "Camera Raw.plugin" is the only one on the drive) :
    (If you click on the screenshot, you'll see a larger version.)
    I've also checked Photoshop's About Plug-in menu and I've confirmed that "Camera Raw" appears exactly once:
    After clicking on "Camera Raw" from the plug-in menu, I can confirm that it's version 4.4.1:
    I've also run "Tools->Cache->Purge Cache" for various folders that have raw images and, along with that, I've tried manually deleting the Users/[Username]/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge folder.
    Just for good measure, I've also tried starting up Bridge while holding down the Option key and then choosing the option to delete all the prefs from the dialog box that comes up.
    Any ideas on where I've gone wrong?

    I started experiencing this same problem three days ago when I installed ACR 4.5. I have been through the forums, trying anything and everything that has worked for other users. Finally, I hit on one crazy possibility.....and it worked.
    ACR was working fine in Photoshop, but suddenly in Bridge it would not display thumbnails for my CR2 images or allow me to open them in Camera Raw.
    So what fixed it for me? Remember, I had tried everything mentioned in all the posts and none of it fixed it. But one user pointed out that they only had "Camera Raw" show once in Photoshop's "About Plug-In" menu. I had noticed I had it appearing four times, once for 4.5 and once for each of the three previous versions! Working on a hunch, I went to the folder where CameraRaw.8bi exists and found that I had a "save" folder there as well. The save folder contained the three prior versions. I moved the save folder outside of this location -- AND ACR WORKS AGAIN IN BRIDGE!!!
    So now I'm left to wonder only one thing -- did this work okay until I added 4.5, or did I somehow create the save folder (and add previous versions of ACR) in my sleep when I installed 4.5? In the end, I'm just happy that it works again.
    I hope this helps a few others of you out there!
