How to Save Camera Raw Changes?

Hi all,
First time poster here so please forgive my likely ignorance of Bridge's brilliant features. I have just started to use Bridge as my primary tool in my post-processing workflow. As I started going through a job I completed recently I started to open some under-exposed JPG in Camera Raw (I find it faster to adjust basic things like exposure than Photoshop). Anyway, once I had made my desired changes I then clicked Done which returned me to Bridge and the thumbnail showed the changes I had just made.
My problem is this. Owing to the fact that Bridge does not contain a Histogram I am using another piece of software to quickly view the histogram. Anyway after making a few changes without switching programs I then switched back to discover that the half a dozen or so Camera Raw adjustments were not visible in the alternative program, owing to the use of sidecar xmp files to store the Camera Raw mods.
So my question is this. Say I have 10 images that have all had modifications made to them in Camera Raw (but I haven't opened the image and saved it), how can I bulk export those changes to new JPG images without having to go into each image one by one? It's gotta be there somewhere, I just can't find it.
Can anyone help, please?
Cheers
Josh

the .xmp files are only generated if the file you are working on doesn't support metadata but JPG files support it so the information is written inside them. If you want to "flatten" the file so that the pixel information gets changed then you will have to resave the files which isn't something that you should do very often with JPG files (preferably only once).
To mass save files you can either select them and go to Tools->Photoshop->Image Processor (but this will launch Photoshop) or open them up in Camera Raw, select all of them in the film strip and select Save Images

Elements 12 - how to save camera raw edits as .jpeg and not .DNG

Just bought Elements 12, previously used CS5. I only use Camera Raw to edit pics. In CS5, I can save my edited photo as a JPEG. In this new Elements 12, the only option is to save it as a .DNG file. I figured out that if I open the file in Elements, I can save it as a .JPEG. Is there a way to skip this step? FIrst, it takes longer, and second, it creates another 10MB file that I dont need. Thanks for your help!

Yes, that the Elements way.

No, you can't skip this step. It does not take longer, really, and it does not create another file on your drive, only in memory.
For a very efficient workflow, you can open your file (or a series of files) in the ACR dialog, edit them and save the raw edits by clicking 'Done'. You can afterwards batch convert to jpeg in two ways : the 'process multiple files' command in the editor, or the 'export' function in the organizer.

How to save Camera Raw image as JPEG

I have opened a jpeg as Camera Raw (7.3) and adjusted it and wanted to save it as jpeg, but the only option is *.dng? Any ideas?
Thanks

You have to open it into the Elements Editor and save from there. The Adobe Camera Raw plug-in for regular Photoshop, not Elements, will allow saving from within the plug-in but not the Elements version of ACR.

Why can't I save camera raw defaults?

I am currently unable to reset my camera raw defaults in CS5 (Camera raw 6.5). When I click on "Save Camera Raw Defaults", the changes do not show up when I open up a new image using Adobe Bridge. I seem to be stuck with the changes I made some time ago. What could be happening?

Camera Raw uses the same settings you used last time to open a file. That's just the way it works. The defaults you set will be used on any image you haven't opened before.
In order to revert an image that's been opened before to the new defaults, you need to do one of the following:
1. Choose Camera Raw Defaults from the menu:
2. Depending on how you have configured Camera Raw to remember your past settings, either delete the sidecar XMP files or go into Edit - Preferences - Camera Raw... and purge your Camera Raw cache if you'd like to throw away all previous settings and have future opens use your new defaults.

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.

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

In what way is ACR not working in Bridge? Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue?
Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

How to instal camera raw in mac

Hi, I'd be obliged if someone could advise me how to instal camera raw 8 into an imac.
many thanks

If you have Photoshop CS6 or higher, you already have Adobe Camera Raw 8. What you want is to update ACR to version 8.6. You can do that automatically through the Help > Updates menu item.
If you have a lower version of Photoshop, you cannot run any version of ACR 8.x.
If you don't have Photoshop at all, then you need to buy it first.
For the next time you post, please give explicit, detailed information:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

How to Save Camera Calibration and Lens Correction in Camera raw 6.1

I downloaded and installed the Camera Raw 6.1 release candidate. I open an image and set the camera calibration and the lens correction to auto for Nikon. I save these settings as new Camera raw defaults, but when I open other images, the changes were not made. How can I save these items as defaults?
Swila

Swila, were your "other images" previously edited in Camera Raw? I.e., do they already have saved image settings? The defaults that you save via the flyout menu will only apply to new images, or if you reset an existing image to the defaults. (e.g., choose "Camera Raw Defaults" from the flyout menu).

Camera Raw changes resolution to lower value (CS4, CS5)

When I open a tiff file that is 300 dpi in Camera Raw, process it some, then open it in Photoshop and save it, the resolution has changed from 300 to 240. Anyone know why this is and how to prevent it?

Because you've got the Workflow Options set to 240 PPI. See that info link at the bottom of the Camera Raw dlog? Click that and you can change the settings...

Camera Raw changes dimensions of file from 3:4 to 2:3!

Hi,
I take photos in raw and jpeg. My raw files have the dimensions 3:4 and jpeg have 2:3. However when I use camera raw, the dimension of the raw file is changed to2:3 which causes me to loose part of the picture. If I save the raw file to tif and open in elements I get 3:4 but then I can not edit in Camera raw!
Has anyone got the same issue? I have a canon powershot g12 and photoshop elements 11.
Lisa

I’ve not come across this but if you are shooting Raw+jpeg try an experiment by switching to RAW only. See if that makes a difference.
Raw files contain an embedded jpeg in order that they may be viewed on the camera LCD screen and if you are using a different aspect ratio for the jpegs; this may be causing some conflict in the RAW header.

Can't open .orf RAWs from Olympus E-510 - how to install camera-raw?

i'm new to adobe photoshop cs3 and just wanted to try opening my

Adobe always says it can't open these files.

The installation instructions are on the page from which you downloaded it... They do change occasionally, so it's a good idea to pay attention to them.

Camera Raw changes not saving

Changes done in Camera Raw are not saving to be usable in PS or other programs.
I am using CS6 with windows 7.
I accidentally took a heap of photos in jpeg. I edited them in Camera Raw - then save the changes in jpeg format but still no changes showing in PS. I have tried Save As, Done, Open image but the changes are not appearing in my PS

Penny,
The button at bottom, "Open Image", doesn't mean "open an image in Camera Raw". It means "open the currently displayed image in a new document in Photoshop".
"Open Image" will pass the adjusted image that you are viewing, not the file itself, to Photoshop where a new document will open and contain the image. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
Hold down Shift key to see the button change to "Open Object" which will result in a new Photoshop document being opened containing a Smart Object which encloses an independant duplicate of the file and adjustments which you are currently viewing in Camera Raw. The current Camera Raw adjustments for the file it has open will simultaneously be saved and Camera Raw will close.
Hold down Option/Alt key to see the button change to "Open Copy" which is like "Open Image" except the adjustments which you are currently making in Camera Raw will only affect the image that is sent to Photoshop and adjustments will not be saved.

From Adobe Camera Raw set the depth to 8 bits and click the open image button (bottom right) and that will send the image into the regular Editor. From there you can use File >> Save As and then choose jpeg or any other format you want.
