Can't Open TIF in ACR

I have some files that were JPEGs which I opened in ACR, did some work, and then transferred them to PS. After saving in PS as TIF files, I cannot reopen them in ACR. They do not open automatically in ACR, and Ctrl-O and Ctrl-R do not open the files in ACR either. What's going on ? Why won't these TIFs open in ACR again ?

This happens to me occasionally, and I haven't figured out any consistent reason to explain why. Sometimes the problem will resolve itself eventually. You might try using the File/Open As option in Photoshop and select camera raw as the file type, and then choose your TIF file. That might work.
Maybe by the time CS4 is released some of these little quirks will get resolved.

Photoshop can't open TIF file?

I've just received a TIF file (approx 5mb) that Photoshop can't open. I get an error: " Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop". I've never had trouble with TIFs before, and assumed a TIF is a TIF is a TIF....
I also tried opening the TIF file in the 32-bit version of PS CS5, but got the same error. I then tried it on my 32-bit Vista machine, and got the same error in both Photoshop CS5 and CS3.
The file itself is OK - I opened it no problem in Corel Photopaint (latest version) and resaved it as a PSD file, which then opened fine in PS. Seems odd that a flaky Corel program is more compatible than Photoshop! It's a recently created TIF file too, just a photo of a new product.
Anyone else struck this issue?
I'm running CS5 on a Win 7 64-bit PC with Core i7 850, 12gb ram.

Most likely the TIFF contains Photoshop metadata or layer data, and that part is corrupt.
Other applications won't read that section of the file, and thus won't see the corruption.
It's not a matter of compatibility, or the file format - it's a matter of Photoshop reads more than other apps, and detects the corruption that other apps are ignoring.

How can I open TIF attachments on IPad?

Help: Can't open TIFF in ACR from bridge. ACR not an "Open With" choice

Hi,
I have a TIFF file on my OS 10.4.11 desktop. I open CS3 Bridge and select the file ( A TIF from a scan generated in SilverFast AI Studio) I right click the file and the drop-down menu shows me CS3 as an "Open With" choice but I do not see ACR as a choice. I choose CS3 and it opens in CS3. As I have TIFF and JPEG files as a default for ACR when I choose a JPG and CS3 it opens in ACR... why not this TIFF? Could it be that as it was scanned with a bit depth of 48 ACR can not interpret it?
How can I add ACR as a choice in "Open With" so that when I right click any image file on my Mac desktop I see ACR as a choice?

I actually slightly prefer the NikonScan software to Silverfast's so I only use NikonScan with my Coolscan and scan to 14-bit RGB Tiffs.
For the larger format film, I use Silverfast with the Epson 4990 and do the same thing.
Then I open the resulting Tiffs in ACR 4.4.1 (hosted by Bridge) to do any preliminary color- and tone- corrections before proceeding to Photoshop.
I have not found a need for HDR when working from Color NEGATIVE film (but I do remove the ridiculous Shadow/HL clipping that these scanner software manufacturers seem to program into their default settings!) and I don't use "slide" film.

Can't open JPGs into ACR from Bridge - Windows XP

I was using CS3 on a Windows XP Machine, just installed the latest updates from adobe (to 2.0.0.10 I believe) and can no longer open JPGs in Camera Raw by hitting CTRL-R. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the adobe suite, (back to 2.0.0.95 Bridge and 4.0 ACR)but that didn't help. Now, it seems that some jpgs will open into ACR and some won't. I can't find any differences in these files. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I want the option of opening in raw easily, would rather avoid having to go and check that preference box to open all images in raw every time I want to do so. Thanks!

Bridge should be version 2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw newest release is 4.3.
Unfortunately your bound to set prefs to open jpegs in RAW, I put the ability of opening jpeg and tiff as a choice in ACR or directly in PSCS as a feature request. maybe you will support this, the more people that want it the better it would be :-)

Can't open TIF file.

I've tried to open the file in Preview, but I get this message (as others have):
"The file could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format tha Preview doesn't recognize."
So then I followed other directions, which said to right click and open Get Info to tell it to open with Preview. That doesn't work.
What now?

have you tried the file on another computer to verify that it's not corrupt ?

Can't open tif file. "Scratch disks are full"

Version: Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 64 bit
Scratch Disk: 6.67 GB of available space on my scratch disk (C Drive). I've allocated 90% (2686 MB of my available 2984 MB of RAM to Photoshop).
File I'm trying to open: 39 MB tiff file
I have nothing else open in Photoshop and no other applications open. Even so, I get the message "Could not complete your request because the scratch disks are full" when I try to open the file ... yet when Photoshop itself opens, it still claims to have 6.67 gigs of available space.
The file I'm trying to open is a 39 meg tiff with a few smart objects in it.
I just opened a 23 meg tiff with a few smart objects in it, with no problems.
I just opened a 39 meg (same size) psd (no smart objects), with no problems.
Why does this 39 meg tiff file cause Photoshop to say the scratch disk is full?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the forum.
As others have stated, the problem is most likely just a lack of HDD real estate, and as also mentioned, if your Windows Virtual Memory (Page File) is dynamically managed (the default setting),you probably have even less, that what is being reported.
One major consideration is that a HDD begins to lose performance, when it reaches about 70%, and this is cumulative, in that the closer one gets to capacity, the slower the performance. Also, as one approaches capacity, the liklihood of a failure increases.
Treat yourself to an additional HDD, clean up your boot disk, and many things will improve.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't open ACR in Bridge CS6

Hi,
I'm currently have a problem with opening ACR from Bridge CS6.
I own CS6 Design Standard, student edition (Not sure what version of ACR is included in the suite).
At Uni, they have Adobe CC, which is where I learned how to open ACR from Bridge, without having PS open first. In fact, I also learned that I use the same methods of opening with images other than RAW. However, the ACR button on the toolbar is greyed out, and right-clicking doesn't provide an option to open in ACR. Additionally, the file menu has "Camera Raw" greyed out.
I did some searching, however many solutions involved opening the Camera Raw Preferences within Bridge - this dialogue won't open. I click it... but nothing happens. No loading, no error, nothing. So I can't change the preferences.
I've tried pressing command + shift + option + click on bridge to reset everything, but nothing works.
It may also be helpful to note that I can't even open RAW images via bridge. I can only open into PS - though PS automatically knows it needs ACR. It's still worrying though, that Bridge doesn't even recognise RAW files either.
Is it possible something got corrupt?
I have scoured these forums, however other people had errors, were able to access the preferences, or resetting settings worked. Nothing has worked for me. :\
Thank you in advance!

Sorry, my mistake. The first step is not under ACR prefs in Bridge but under the general prefs in Bridge (command-K).
For step 2 you are right that ACR prefs can be accessed from either PS or Bridge. "Automatically open JPEGs/TIFFs with settings" and "Automatically open all supported JPEGs" both work for me (using CS6). In both cases after choosing one of these two options I can (in Bridge) do a right-click on a JPEG or TIF file and get an option to open it in ACR. TIFs have to be regular “one layer“ files, though. When I try it with a TIF with several layers, I don'get the ACR option.
Yours,
Ray

Open TIF files in ACR 4.5

I have a number of images in TIF format that I wish to open in ACR 4.5. I can see how to open JPG images but not the TIF images. How might I do this? I am using Windows XP Pro SP2, Photoshop CS3, ACR 4.5.
Thanks,
Tom

all my setting is set to open Jpeg and tiff files in CR
I tried to do Cmd-R in bridge and does not work with any type of files.
I can not open single tiff file or multi tiff files from Bridge.
this is not issue with jpeg.
I can not open multi tiff file from photoshop sometimes!
if I use OSX dialog for the 1st time, I can select all the tiff files I want,and they open in CR. However, 2nd time around Format option disappear (this happens all the times with PS open dialog) and files open in PS only.
Again this is not issue with jpeg files. I noticed, if switch to PS open dialog and then to OSX open dialog I can open multi tiff files in CR for one time only again.
I am using MacBook Pro.
How can I fix this bug.
Thanks

ACR 4.4.1 does not open TIF file from bridge (CS3)

Hi,
I have the preferences in CS3-Bridge and ACR set to open JPG & TIF files in ACR and not CS3 but when I click on a TIF file in bridge it opens in PS CS3 instead. These TIF files were generated by a GUI interface for ENFUSE which is an algorythm that combines bracketed RAW or JPG exposures for expanded dynamic range... it works very well ad outputs to TIF... but I can't seem to open these TIFs in ACR. Isn't a TIF a TIF?
Is there a way to force ACR to open these?

There are many varieties of TIF files (including b/w fax images).
I have no idea if this will work, but you could try opening one of the files in Photoshop, saving as a TIF from Photoshop, and then see if that new TIF file will open in ACR. At least it should let you know of opening of TIF/JPG files in Camera Raw is working correctly.

Why can't I download or open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?

Why can't I open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?
Tap to Download icon flashes but does nothing.

I just hooked this thing up to my computer and was able to load new apps and update via the app store that way, installing them onto the iPad via sync. Very annoying though as I cannot make in app purchases etc still.
Wish apple wouldn't pull this kind of junk.

Updated to latest ACR 6.6 but still can't open CR2 files from Canon Rebel XSi

I updated to latest version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.6 but still can't seem to open my CR2 files in Photoshop. Can't open them in Lightroom either, no preview in Bridge or OS.
I'm running OS 10.7.2 and Photshop 12.1 x 64 which is CS5.1 I suppose.
I've downloaded Canon's EOS utility hoping that would somehow do something as well but nothing.
The images were shot on Canon Rebel XSi which is certainly supported by the newest version of ACR. So I have no clue as to what's happening... I previously downloaded these images onto my old laptop about a year ago and everything was fine, however now I'm not even getting a preview in OS. Do I have to revert to an older version of ACR (perhaps the same one I used originally?) to open these files again? These files have been stored on a hard drive, so I'm not downloading them directly from the camera-again, this probably has nothing to do with it but not sure what to do. A lot of the posts I've seen recommend downloading the latest version of ACR to fix the issue, but again I've done that and as a matter of fact the camera (Rebel XSi) has been supported for some time now...
In OS, when the image is selected no preview:
Lightroom error:
Bridge, no preview:
Photoshop error:
Ideas, suggestions?

Please help.
Thanks in advance,

Something appears to be wrong with your files.
Are most of your images approx. 3.7 MB?
This is very small for a 12 MP image.
If you go back to the original file on your laptop, what is the file size?
Also the fact that the Mac OS is not showing the preview is unusual.
Perhaps these files got corrupted when they were moved to your new computer.
Can you open these files OK on your old laptop?
Is the OS showing the previews on your old laptop?
Also compare the file sizes between old and new computer.
Have you tried repairing your permissions?
Try Disk Utility in your Macs Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility to see if this helps.
Good Luck!

Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014. I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

Can't open a raw file from Lightroom to Photoshops ACR

I got used to using Lightroom 3 as a place to catalogue and store my images but still process my Raw files in Adobe Photoshops Raw Convertor. Now that I have Lightroom 5 I can't find out how to do this. With version 3 I just highlighted say 3 files and hit command E.
I know I can open an image as a smart object and go about it that way but I can't open multiple images from Lightroom to ACR.
I know people will say '' hey well do your Raw work in Lightroom'' but I got used to using the Photoshop Raw convertor and I spent a lot of time and money learning it.
Surely there is a way to open say three images from L5 to ACR ???
Please help this has been driving me nuts, It's suggested I will need to start using Bridge but I'm bewildered and don't want to start learning something new.
Thanks in advance.

It has been a long time since I even had Lightroom 3 installed on my computer. I don't recall the behavior you are describing. ACR is used to translate the adjustments made in Lightroom as the image is transferred to Photoshop. You may have become accustomed to a certain behavior, but it doesn't work that way. The process of moving from Lightroom to Photoshop works on the assumption that you have done your raw adjustments using Lightroom, and you are now passing that image to Photoshop.
