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.

Impossible d'ouvrir image dans Camera Raw via Bridge

Bonjour à tous et à toutes,
Je sais que cette question a déjà été posées maintes et maintes fois sur le net, mais n'ayant pas trouvé de réponse(s), je pose la question sur le forum d'Adobe; il y a peut-être une chance que j'ai une réponse.
Alors voilà mon problème : quand je suis sur Bridge (que Photoshop est ouvert) et que je fais un clic droit sur une image (quelque soit son extension) > ouvrir dans Camera Raw, ou quand je vais dans Edition > Préférences Camera Raw, j'ai le message suivant :
"La modification à l'aide de Camera Raw n'est pas activée.
La modification à l'aide de Camera Raw nécessite l'exécution préalable d'un produit adapté pour que cette fonction puisse être activée."
J'ai bien pensé tout désinstaller pour réinstaller, mais dans les divers messages lus sur le web, j'ai vu que ça n'avait pas servi.
Alors, j'arrive à ouvrir mes images sous Camera Raw via Photoshop (je fais Fichier > Ouvrir sous, puis je choisis Camera Raw comme type), mais je voudrais pouvoir le faire, non pas via Photoshop, mais via Bridge.
Sinon, toujours dans Bridge (je ne sais pas si c'est lié mais), j'ai découvert qu'en faisant Édition > Préférences de couleurs Creative suite, j'avais un message similaire suivant :
"Suite color management n'est pas activé.
Suite color management nécessite qu'un produit remplissant les conditions requises ait déjà été exécuté au moins une fois pour que cette fonction puisse être activée."
Est-ce quelqu'un (d'Adobe ou... peu importe) aurait une idée pour régler ce(s) problème(s) ?
Y-a-t-il des choses que je n'ai pas installé et que j'aurais dû ? En effet, bien qu'ayant la Créative suite, je n'ai pas installé tous les logiciels (comme Dreamweaver, Audition, After effect ou je ne sais quoi d'autre) et extensions.
D'avance merci pour vos réponses.
Bonne journée à vous.

Bonjour,
Moi non plus je n'arrive pas à gérer les paramètres de couleurs dans Bridge (par le menu Edition>Paramètres de couleurs Creative Suite). Le message est toujours le même :
"Suite Color Management n'est pas activé
Suite Color Management nécessite qu'un produit remplissant les conditions requises ait déjà été exécuté au moins une fois pour que cette fonction puisse être activée."
Quelqu'un a-t-il trouvé la solution depuis les derniers posts svp ?
Je précise que j'ai essayé les techniques évoquées :
• réinstallation de l'ensemble de la suite CS6
• suppession du cache de Bridge
• ouvrir Bridge après avoir ouvert Illustrator et/ou InDesign
• Gérer les autorisations sur le fichier comme le propose Adode sur le lien http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-suite-color-management-enabled.html
Sinon existe t-il d'autres solutions pour synchroniser les couleurs sur l'ensemble de la suite Adobe, sans passer par Bridge, et sans le paramétrer un à un dans chaque logiciel ?
Mystère mystère...

Thank you

Details, please. Platform, exact version of Photoshop and of your OS, what trouble shooting steps you've taken so far, etc,
First thing to try, if it had worked before, is to Purge the Cache in Bridge.

Is there a way to open Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting?

Is there a way to start up Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting? I think in the past it started without Photoshop starting; or did it?

If you select the image in Adobe Bridge you can choose File > Open in Camera Raw. Adobe Camera Raw will open the image using Bridge as the host application and you won't have to start Photoshop. There's no way to open Camera Raw without a host application.
If you can't find Adobe Bridge on your computer and you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Bridge is one of the programs you can install using the Creative Cloud application.

Photoshop to Camera Raw in Bridge

I am TRYING to work with Iphoto, Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw in Bridge. I have set Photoshop CS5 as my external editor in Iphoto. I double click on photo (jpg) and it opens in Photoshop. I need to take the photo (jpg) from Photoshop to Camera Raw in the Bridge. How do I do this? OR is there a way to go directly from Iphoto to Camera Raw in the Bridge? If by some miracle I can find my photo when in Bridge (iphoto makes finding a photo VERY difficult) when I make changes in Camera Raw they do NOT register in Iphoto. Without all the detail, I want my edited photos (camera raw/photoshop) to show up EDITED in iPhoto. Help!

iPhoto is cr@p. At the very least, you have to admit that it doesn't play nice with any other graphics application. Dump it.
Now, Bridge is a 32-bit application, so when you have Bridge host Camera Raw, Camera Raw also runs in 32 bits. In contrast, and even though it is the very same plug-in, Camera Raw runs in 64 bits when hosted by Photoshop.
To find your actual image(s) in the Finder, which the crappy iPhoto hides in libraries, you need to highlight said library in the Finder and Control-click (or Right-click) on the icon, then select Show Package Contents in the contextual menu. Then navigate in the Contents of that package until you find your original and drag it out of there to a sensible place where Bridge can see it.
Again, dump iPhoto. My ¢2.

How do I open my TIF file into Camera Raw from Bridge?

Trying to follow a tutorial on editing an HDR image in photoshop. When instructed to open the TIF image into Camera Raw from Bridge, I don't get the option when I right click. What is going on here?

I was talking about an advanced action, which is not loaded externally but executed on runtime (will be translated to AS). So this will only work if you can pass the value of the variable containing the slide number you want to the SWF. For that you'll need JavaScript and I'm not that acquainted with JS. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's blog:
http://captivatedev.com/series/captivate-javascript-series/
In Captivate you create an advanced action to be triggered on entering the first slide, that will jump to the wanted slide number. If you can figure out how to pass the slide number, could help with the advanced action, I know them rather well:

Opening Camera Raw in Bridge

I have Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw will not open. How do I make it open?

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.

Why did my camera raw in bridge stop working?

Today when I tried to open camera raw in bridge I got this message instead:
i
I am completely stumped by this. I have no clue how to fix it. And when I try to open Camera Raw Preferences the same message pops up. It doesnt matter if the image is a jpg, dng,or RAW file the same image pops up.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

This is a copy of the answer I send in via mail, it seems the new forum format is again a disaster and not able to put mail content in the forum but only a reply window without text...
This is the link Yammer P provided in an other thread, might solve your problem also:

Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
"Bridge's parent application is not active."
Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
Any suggestions.
Cheers

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

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.

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 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:
General Prefs - http://img535.imageshack.us/i/prefgeneral.png/
Thumbnail Prefs - http://img716.imageshack.us/i/prefthumbnails.png/
Camera Raw Option - http://img847.imageshack.us/i/option.png/
Camera Raw No Option - http://img852.imageshack.us/i/nooption.png/

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?
