Camera RAW ruining JPEGS, cant disable

I have CS3.
Certain jpeg files now ONLY open with Camera Raw in PS, no matter what I do. I just want to open them regularly, but I cant get ACR to go away, and ACR is corrupting the color somehow when it opens them this way.
Under preferences, (in both PS and Bridge) I have disabled 'prefer camera raw' for jpeg, but that still doesnt help.
The problem is the color gets ruined when opening them with ACR, no matter what color space I choose from within ACR when developing them, the files get a washed out appearance, and once opened this way, cant be fixed via normal methods, ala 'converting to' or 'assigning' the right color profile.
Note that other jpegs not opened with ACR before seem fine and unaffected, they do not open via ACR in PS, they just open normally in PS, and I see the expected 'color profile mismatch' if relevant.
Also note that the files that are getting ruined by ACR look OK in Bridge and from within the ACR preview window itself, but once opening into PS, they look totally different.
Can someone please tell me how I can stop ACR from ruining them or just disabling ACR for good? Thanks. The files are essentially unopenable as they are right now, and I dont see any 'clear' develop settings options as later versions of PS seem to have.
Thanks!

Thank you!!!
From your screenshot I realized I did not have those options available, so I upgraded from camera raw 4.0 to 4.1, and sure enough, they included those options in the update.
Once I unchecked them, the notorious ACR did not open!
I still wonder why the color gets corrupted by ACR, but am not the biggest fan of ACR anyway, so will not use, long live Lightroom, LOL.
Do you know, is there a 'limit' to the level of ACR I can upgrade to from within CS3?
Anyway, Thanks again for saving me,

Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), Jpeg Files and Metadata

I have been using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) with my Canon EOS 30D, an 8 MP camera, for a while now. I would make non-destructive changes to the raw file (.CR2) in ACR where the changes would be stored in an adjoining .xmp file. Jpegs of the unedited and edited camera raw files would be created so I have a before and after versions of the images that can be viewed anywhere.
Now I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, a 22 MP camera and the raw files are much larger. I’m looking at using camera raw on jpeg files for some for my more casual photo shoots in order to save disk space. From what I have read, I can use ACR on jpeg files and that the changes would be stored in the metadata in the jpeg file. Is there a way for the changes to be stored in an adjoining .xmp file so that the original jpeg file is not modified, much like it is done with the .CR2 files?
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 machine. All software is up-to-date.
Also, I have found that Adobe’s camera raw handing is different than the raw handling of the photos using Canon’s software (DPP). Is there a way to make ACR closer to what Canon’s software does?
Thanks,
Mike

Probably not going to happen.
I agree, Canon's color is better than Adobe's in general - I just didn't know how good the Camera Standard profile might be for your particular camera. I had hoped maybe they'd made it a very close match.
Some time ago I got a very nice genius-level Camera Raw forum member named Vit to make me a custom profile that exactly matches the Canon color for my 40D, even to the point of emulating the way Canon fits the entire gamut of the captured image into the sRGB color space, so I'm more than happy.
Others might tell you that you're silly for wanting the color to match, but I understand completely your position - if you do get that kind of feedback just ignore it and push on.
Once you've set up a default to use Camera Standard, you may well be able to tweak the dozens of color controls to bring the Adobe default into line with the Canon color. I did that once before getting my special 40D profile, comparing embedded raw file JPEGs with the Camera Raw preview display with a variety of images - it was tedious but effective.
Best of luck.

Understanding Camera RAW with JPEGs

I usually work on the design end, hence I rarely work (professionally) with files straight-from-camera. I get the stuff after the photographers are done with it.
However, that is slightly changing and so I have a question about the Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop. In particular, processing JPEG images with it.
If I understand correctly, it does not actually modify the JPEG image itself, but merely saves the correction information as metadata in the JPEG file, which is then re-constructed when the JPEG is re-opened.
This would (assuming I understand it properly) make it a "safe" way of tweaking JPEGs as unlike most JPEG operations, no resave/quality-loss is occurring. Only the metadata is changing.
Am I correct or have I horribly misunderstood this process?

I can appreciate that - my own plug-ins all do their work in linear space as well for the advantages thereof. However, it's not as if one can't get good results with the normal Photoshop tools, which for some reason seem to be out of favor... One can convert to a linear profile to work on it in Photoshop proper, for example (though one has to craft or find a linear profile to use for that, as none is provided by Adobe). I do my astroimage processing that way.
I might change my workflow to involve Camera Raw where JPEGs are concerned IF Camera Raw could be set to write its metadata back to a sidecar file or the central database instead of rewriting the JPEG file. I understand that it is not rewriting the actual image data, but I just don't want it writing back to my JPEGs at all.

Photoshop CS6 - How to export form Camera Raw to Jpeg of 300dpi?

Photoshop CS6 - How to export form Camera Raw to Jpeg of 300dpi?

What does your package include besides this disc?
If your artistry and production are at a high-level and you are charging tens of thousands of dollars then protecting your reputation and future-sales possibilities by not giving them a disc might be wise, but if you just want to be done with things after you get paid, then a disc or flash-drive of native-resolution (not resized) and uncropped JPGs might give the most freedom for the client, although if I was your client, I’d want the RAWs or at least DNGs with your settings saved to them. If there is enough space on the media then you could put a folder of JPGs and a folder of TIFs, separately. It depends on how many you’re giving them. If you’re high-end you could give them an Wi-Fi iPad with the photos on it, or at least a non-Apple tablet with a removable flash-card for more easy offloading.

there are several ways to do so.
1)You can find a save image button at the bottom left corner of the camera raw dialog box.
2a)You can click the open image or open object button lower right hand corner of camera raw dialog box (hold shift key to switch between the two buttons) Then use file>save as... then choose jpg from the format drop down button.
2b)or once the image is loaded into photoshop you can use file>save for web and devices... then change the preset or the format drop down menu to jpg.
3) For a more automated approach, you can also use either file>automate>batch or file>scripts>image processor to convert a folder of images to jpg. Conversion is a copy process, it does not overwrite the files. Going this route, is suppose to bypass camera raw dialog box all together and save the new files in a new folder. This is also how to apply an action to the files during the process. It is wise to practice this on a few copied images first to see how it works, just so there are no surprises.
4)you can also use Bridge and create a web page of jpg images.
These directions may differ depending on your version of photoshop and operating system of your computer.

Camera Raw to jpeg in Elements 8

How do I save camera raw images as jpeg after editing? I do not see jpeg as an option on the save as drop down.

Camera Raw images are 16-bit. JPEG's only support 8-bit color information. As mentioned above, once they have been processed through the Camera Raw plug-in, you can open them for editing at 8-bit. You can also convert an already open 16-bit image to 8-bit by going to Image > Mode > 8-bit.

How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.

Have latest Camera Raw 8.7, cant open D700 NEFs

I updated to the latest version of Camera Raw for Photoshop, but it wont open NEFs from my nikon D700 despite the fact that the D700 requires 4.6 or 5.1 or later to open...
Am I doing something wrong? Does the D700 require an EARLIER version of Camera Raw???
Thanks!

8.7 will open all preceding cameras, as well, so that’s not the problem.
It is likely that your NEFs were touched by obsolete Nikon software like Nikon Transfer or View NX and this corrupts the NEFs slightly so that Adobe software cannot use them.
You can test for this scenario by not using any Nikon software with some new NEFs, instead using Bridge or native Mac/PC software to transfer and view the images prior to opening in PS/ACR.
If the files are important, you can reverse the corruption using the following utility:

PSE 9 cannot export camera raw edited files to a jpeg format. Only available save as formats are photoshop and tiff.

In PSE 9 I am currently unable to save files that have been edited in camera raw as jpeg files. When I try to export the file using 'save as' the only listed options are versions of photoshop file formats and tiff - jpeg is not listed. I did not have this problem previously when using Nikon D3000 camera. I now use a Nikon D7100. I have installed the 6.5 Camera Raw update but this has not solved the problem. I would appreciate any suggestions for resolving this.
Margaret

You have a 16-bit image and jpeg is an 8 bit format. You can set the raw converter to export as 8 bit by using the pulldown menu below the preview area, or you can just go to Image>Mode>8 bits/channel in the editor.

Can't open a JPEG in Adobe Camera RAW 4.3.1

I'm trying to open a jpg file from bridge to ACR using the cmnd+r combination and nothing happens.
I can only view jpg files in ACR when I apply changes to them in Lightroom. Then I just double click on them (or cmnd+o) and they open in Adobe Camera RAW.
Anyone can help?

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:

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 Preferences- Tiff / JPEG Handling -CS 3

In the Camera Raw Preferences > JPEG + Tiff Handling Section I have " Always open TIFF/JPEG Files with Settings Using Camera Raw" UNCHECKED. Yet, when I double-click on an image in Bridge to open it, it opens the Raw window. I want the image to open directly in Photoshop. What do I need to do?

There are other preferences to be UNchecked. Carefully examine Camera Raw prefs, Bridge prefs and Photoshop prefs.
Then relaunch Bridge and Photoshop.

Have you updated Photoshop to version 12.0.4 and the Camera Raw plug-in to version 6.6?
Have you set your Camera Raw and Bridge preferences to use Camera Raw for JPEGs?

Getting Camera RAW 4.1 to leave things alone

Maybe there is a direct answer to this question somewhere on the forum, but I have been searching without much luck. Maybe someone has a concise answer out there...
How do I get Camera RAW 4.1 to USE all of my in camera settings, and then how do I most effectively open those files into PS3 for image processing (changing them into PSD) for any editing they may need?
My images are what I am looking for when they come out of the camera, and when I preview them in Bridge. It's only when the NEFs get opened into camera RAW 4.1 that they lose all their settings, and thus saturation, depth, contrast, etc.
I have heard about saving settings and profiles, but I am talking about thousands of photos in each shoot, with wildly different elements to them all. I work hard to make sure most everything is well set and executed in the camera when I shoot, so it is disheartening to have to "edit" which seems to mean just re-build everything I originally captured via in camera settings. Furthermore, it seems that this editing is very time consuming and rarely matches what I see if the previews.
I just want ACR's converter to not assume I didn't pay any attention to my in camera settings, and that I want to actually "edit" each photo in its interface. Thanks ahead of time for any help or suggestions that you might have. If it helps, I am shooting with D200s and D70s.

These issues have been covered here before many times. Just do a forum search.
In a nutshell:
This has been covered ad nauseam here. Please do a forum search.
Camera manufacturers, Canon and Nikon in particular, perform in-camera RAW to JPEG conversions designed to generate the over-saturated, over-contrasty and over-sharpened images that appeal to most amateurs.
Their stand-alone RAW conversion software also performs the same conversion to your RAW images.
Noise is also hidden by compressing the shadows so you don't see much of the noise inherent in the image.
Adobe Camera Raw, ACR, on the other hand, comes with default settings designed to give you the most detail possible (even if this sometimes means revealing some of the noise hidden by the camera manufacturers in their RAW conversion software), as well as the most natural images.
That being said, you can calibrate your camera to ACR and come up with your own settings to produce exactly what you want, including the JPEG-look of the camera manufacturer, and save that as your profile.
The key is to learn how to use ACR properly and to calibrate your camera to ACR.
CLICK HERE for some essential reading. (Revised edition for ACR 4.x by Jeff Schewe shipping soon.)
The ACR defaults are nothing more than a suggested starting point.
The color temperature won't necessarily match either.

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.
