Can´t open files directly in Camera Raw from Bridge.

I get this message: "Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
It has been working before without problems. Bridge 6.0.1.6   OS X  10.10

I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves.  RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab.  Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab.  Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure.  It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.

  • Cannot open some jpgs in Camera Raw from Bridge

    A couple of days ago, I rated select images from a set as 5 stars, and now I cannot open these in Camera Raw from Bridge. I get no error messages or anything, there is just simply no option to Open in Camera Raw from the File menu, or the right-click menu. The images I did not rate still open in Camera Raw, and not all of the starred ones have this problem - just 20 or so consecutive images. This makes no sense to me, as all the images as far as I can tell should operate the same way. They are all jpgs. I can find workarounds to this like working in Photoshop (all the images still open in Photoshop) or possibly just reloading the photos from the memory card, but I'd like to know why this would even be a problem to avoid it in the future. I'm using CC on Win 8.

  • Opening an image in Camera Raw from Bridge

    I recently installed CC.  In Bridge preferences>behaviour, I enabled double clicking on image to open in Camera Raw.  That doesnt work.  Also when I go to File>Open with, Camera Raw is no longer a choice. Has that been disabled in CC?

    That is not possible
    Unless you hold down the shift key to bypass the ACR window and open directly in PS…
    But yes, I agree, it seems not the normal route for a raw file.
    Also using both Bridge and LR together is not the best workflow.

  • I cannot open JPG images in Camera RAW from Bridge or via "Open as" facility in Photoshop

    I am going crazy with Photoshop CC!!! I have been using Photoshop CC and Bridge CC since Feb 2014 and have a recurring problem, which comes back periodically after having been fixed with the aid of the Adobe Help Chat facility. Today the Chat facility is not on-line, so in desperation I'm hoping someone in the Community can help me.
    When I try to open a JPG file in Bridge I get the message "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that aqualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature".
    When I try to open a JPG file in Photoshop using the "Open As" facility, I get the message "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
    I am running CC on a Dell laptop under Windows 7 64-bit.
    Can anyone help me please?

  • 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

  • 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 in Camera Raw from Bridge

    Bridge will not longer allow me to open photo files directly into Camera Raw, saying a "qualifying" program must be open; I have Bridge and Photoshop CS 6.5 Extended open.  What else is needed????

    Not sure what CS6.5 Extended is.  There is CS6 and CS5.
    If you try to launch Bridge from the parent program, and still get message, it is highly likely you have an expired Adobe trial on you computer.  Find and destroy and Bridge will work.  Bridge is looking for permission from the trial.

  • Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc?

    Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc? I use bridge to organize my files. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to drag and drop files into the cc folder, I was hoping that there might be an easier way.
    thanks,

    When you save them just make sure you save them to your Mac and not iCloud. For those that already exist, you can move them from iCloud by dragging and dropping them to somewhere else on your Mac. To see all the files in iCloud choose file > open in either pages or numbers.

  • Can't open files directly from file server (MAVERICKS)

    since updating to Mavericks earlier today i have had the below problem
    I use a file server at work to access all my work files. i have no problem accessing the servers but when i try and when I double click to open a file (excel, word, pdf, etc) it says "the application cant be found"
    when Ihave the application open and i open the same file from within the application (file > open) it works fine. I just cannot open files directly from the file server by double clicking.
    in previous versions there have been no problems with this,
    any help would be great,

    Same issue here; I hadn't related it to upgrading to the latest OS 10.9.2. I've shutdown and restared multiple times. I've also rebuilt permissions on my hard drive as I thought it was the Finder but files on my local HD open file. Off the server, I cannot double-click or even drag to the dock. Files open fine if I open the app first then browse to find the file.

  • Is there a way to open an image in camera raw from within photoshop cs6 (on a PC)?

    is there a way to open an image in camera raw within photoshop cs6 (on a PC)? or do I have to use bridge to do this?
    Thanks....

    Just open the camera raw file, and it will open in the ACR plugin.

  • I can't open Camera Raw from Bridge

    Why is it that I can not open CR from Bridge. I can see it in Plug ins. I don't see any reference to CR in Preferences. Why is that?

    What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
    What kind of file do you want to open in camera raw?
    If you right click on a camera raw file thumbnail in Bridge, do you see Open in Camera Raw?

  • 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.

  • Can't open NEF with Camera Raw from Bridge

    I recently updated to CS6 and got a new Nikon D600.  Downloaded the lastest DNG converter but when I pull up files in Bridge I can't open them with Camera Raw anymore.  My process was to open in Bridge.  Select the NEF files I wanted then click mouse+control, which gave me a menu to open in Camera Raw.  Now my only option is Photoshop CS6.  I downloaded the trial for Photoshop CC and Bridge CC but still can't select to open with Camera Raw.
    What is going on?  I have never had issues like I have been.  HELP Please.

    From your description it sounds as if Camera Raw isn't installed, or is installed incorrectly. In Photoshop go to Help/about plug-ins/Camera Raw and verify that you have it installed correctly. Since you are on a Mac, I cannot advise as to where it should be installed.
    The other thing I have been thinking about in your situation is, how were these images downloaded from your camera?if you used an older version of Nikon Transfer it can alter the files so that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw.
    Do you have other software like ViewNX2 or CaptureNX2, and will those programs open your files?

  • Opening Files in CS5 Camera Raw

    I am working on an iMac in CS5. After making adjustments in Camera Raw, neither the Option key north Shift key work so I can open a Copy image or Smart file which results in the original file being adjusted.  Did I change a setting indadvertedly?

    I thought it was Shift to open an image as an object...  Maybe that differs Mac vs. PC, I don't know.
    When you hold the keys down do the captions on the buttons change?  This is what I see on my PC (you may have to click the image below to see the animation):

  • Cannot open JPEG files in Camera Raw from Bridge

    I am using Adobe Web Premium CS3 with Windows Vista. In Bridge under File, the "Open in Camera Raw" is grayed out. In preferences, I checked "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" and when I double-click a JPEG file it still opens in Photoshop CS3. I've downloaded and installed the latest Camera Raw plugin (Camera Raw.8bi dated 3/27/2008) into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats. Nothing seems to work.

    I am experiencing the same problem under XP SP2. It is intermittent. Everything will be OK and then the next time I open the folder Camera Raw is not available.
    I just did a little experiment. I created a sub-folder in the folder that would not produce Cam Raw and moved a jpg to it. When I right clicked it in the new folder, Cam Raw was there as it should be. I moved the jpg back to the original folder that had the problem and Cam Raw opened in that folder too, but not on any of the other jpg's in that folder.
    I moved all of the jpg's to this sub folder and back and Cam Raw was there on all the jpg's.
    There is without a doubt some real flakies in Bridge. I also have workspaces saved that suddenly are not saved any more.
    Hope this helps out your problem Donald. Oh, I am using web premium CS3 also
