Launching Camera Editor From Photoshop

It's unbelievable how much time & effort I have put in to getting an answer to such a simple question. Back in much earlier releases, it would have taken about 15 seconds with a quick search in the help file.
I saw one video in which a Photoshop geek quickly launces his raw editor by clicking on a small, illegible icon in the lower right-hand of his Layer Icon in his Layers Dialogue but of course he doesn't explain how that works, and there is no such corresponding little sub-icon in MY Layers icon, and the word Raw doesn't even seem to show up anywhere in any menu. I know this has to be possible. I can open a raw file (.nef, in this case) the obvious way, but after switching it over to Photoshop I can't switch it back to the raw editor (?)

That small icon means it is a Smart Object (SO)
When you open your .NEF in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) the button on the lower right will usually say "Open Image".
Hold down your SHIFT key and the button changes to "Open Object"
Your photo will open in Photoshop and will have this SO icon on the layer, If you double click the icon it will reopen the photo in ACR where you can make additional adjustments
Then click OK to go back to Photoshop.
This procedure will only work if you tell ACR to open your photo using "Open Object".
While you can make a layer into a SO in Photoshop this will only open the image in another PS doc.
Only a SO from ACR will be able to round trip between PS and ACR.

Changing External Editor from Photoshop CS to CS5

I've looked through the preferences pane but for the life of me can't figure out how to get iPhoto to switch its external editor from CS to CS5. Does anyone here have any idea? TIA!

In iPhoto's General Preferences use that menu to select CS again. That will let you navigate to the editor of your choice to select it. It's not very intuitive, is it?
This may be preaching to the choir but FWIW:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

Launching Camera Raw from outside of Bridge

Hi,
I need to add right click access to open an image, be it processed (JPEG or TIFF) or raw (e.g. CR2), in ACR from any ordinary Windows Explorer as simple as it is done from within Bridge.
Also, I need programmatic access to do the same, that is, to be able from inside a program to open an image in ACR - but how? The only way I know how is through Bridge and I cannot make this tool dependent on Bridge.
Thanks,
Juan

Yes, I know I need Photoshop - that's clear and I don't want it otherwise. All I was looking for is a way to invoke Photoshop so that it opens ACR on TIFFs or JPEGs or CR2s, as is done from Bridge where you can choose Photoshop directly or ACR.
This I want to do to incorporate Photoshop AND ACR into a tool I am building to automate part of my workflow.
It should be possible. There must be some sort of flags or command line options or COM-like commands.
I still believe it is possible, it is not that I want to use ACR without Photoshop - no way!!

How to open a jpg file in camera raw in Photoshop CC (2014)?

I know i can do it via bridge but do i also have some option than using bridge?

You can open a jpeg or tif into camera raw from photoshop by using:
File>Open As>Camera Raw (windows)
File>Open and change the Format to Camera Raw (mac)
You can also open any open document into the camera raw filter
Filter>Camera Raw Filter
If you want all jpegs or tifs to always open in camera raw, you can go to Photoshop(Edit)>Preferences>Camera Raw
and set Jpeg and Tiff handling to Automatically Open All

Links to launch Script Editor no longer work

Links to launch Script Editor no longer work.

I don't know, I just use a very simple Applescript to enclose the clipboard in tags that allow the user to launch Script Editor from the browser:
set the clipboard to "<a href=applescript://com.apple.scripteditor?action=new>Click here to launch Script Editor</a>.
<pre class=COMMAND>" & return & (the clipboard) & return & "</pre>"
And it wraps the script on the clipboard on PRE tags so the structure is preserved. Neither of those work now.

Can't go from Bridge/Camera Raw to Photoshop Elements 8

I originally installed trial version of photoshop CS4 and photoshop elements 8. I decided I liked elements better so that is what I purchased. I did fresh install off of purchased disk. I can launch bridge from within PSE8, then camera raw from Bridge, but can't Open into PSE8 from bridge or camera raw. I can open camera raw but when I finish and click "open" the file always tries to open into Photoshop CS4 (for which the trial is now expired).
I have updated to camera raw 5.7 and followed the instructions on the adobe site. I can tell the camera raw plug in is running from the CS4 library   Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats (deleted it there and it no longer worked) and not from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\Elements 8\File Formats.
Any suggestions on how to get my PSE8 to play nice with bridge and camera raw and run the camera raw plug in from my PSE8 file formats instead of CS4\file formats?

Yes I am using an Imac with snow leopard. Thank you for your help! I changed every file association I could in the bridge file associations from PS CS4 to Photoshop Elements.
Changing the file type association took care of the problem in bridge for .dng files as long as I open the dng file from bridge to photoshop elements (brings up camera raw which when click done returns me to elements).
The panasonic file association in bridge is .raw but my raw camera files are .rw2. Can't find that one in the associations of bridge. The fortunate thing is they do open from finder into preview (if that helps at all).
I can now work around this by changing them to .dng files, but that is kind of bulky.
Thanks again for your assistance.

Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge.

Since installing Photoshop CC I can't access Camera Raw from the program Bridge. When I try, I get a message that says, "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." Is Photoshop CC a qualifying product? It has been opened a number of times, but it doesn't solve this problem.

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.

Photoshop tif won't open in Photoshop; launches Camera Raw plugin window

We recently upgraded from Creative Suite 1 to Creative Suite 3 (with Mac OS 10.5.4). I am trying to open a tif file that was saved out of Photoshop CS1, and it keeps launching the Camera Raw plugin window instead. I've tried saving as an EPS, then opening the EPS and re-saving as a tif. Doesn't help. I don't want to process this tif through Camera Raw each time it's opened!
Other images from the same photoshoot and saved in the same manner are fine (the tifs open in Photoshop as they should).
Is this a feature or a bug?
Thank you

So why is it happening with only 1 out of 8 tifs from a single campaign that were all treated in the same manner (digital shots that were opened through Camera Raw plugin, manipulated in Photoshop and a layered PSD file saved, then flattened tif files generated)? The other 7 flattened tifs open directly into Photoshop without launching Camera Raw plugin.
And I can't find a preference that affects it. If it is "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for supported raw files", I have it unchecked.
Any other suggestions?

Sindbad. A suggestion, to let us know all the specifics of your machine: go the the help menu, and select System Info...
Copy the contents, and paste it in an answer there.
You might want to remove your serial number.
Thanks to that we will know: the exact version of Photoshop, your memory, where Photoshop is installed, the graphic card and its drivers, and also if you are using third party plug-ins.
Some other users reported that when launching Photoshop holding down the shift key (this disables the plug-ins), he was able to see the images.
The solution in that case is to search for updated plug-ins (or to report the plug-in manufacturers that their plug-ins causes issues in Photoshop.

Videos from camera do Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

I brought my pics/videos over to my computer from my camera using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, and when I did this, I told the program to delete the pics/videos. I've gone back through all of my pics and videos, and there is one very important video missing. Can anyone tell me where it would've gone? Since I had it delete off my camera, it's not there anymore, but I can't find it in Photoshop Elements either.
Holy cow, it took me about half a dozen tries to even get to this spot where I can post this question!

Yes, use the Editor

Photoshop cs3 starts from photoshop elemets 7 without camera raw

I'm using photoshop elements as a picture album organizer and start photoshop cs3 from elements. When changing from elements v5 to v7 (because of having a trouble with the raw of a canon 50d), I got a strange problem:
- When I use the elements editor, the camera raw is starting
- When I use Bride CS3 to open the raw, camera raw is starting
- When I use elements 7 to open the raw in photoshop cs3, the picture appears direct in photoshop, without using camera raw
Could someone help me to have camera raw starting photoshop out of elements 7?

It's a known problem:

Photoshop Elements 2.0 launches Script Editor

When launching Photoshop Elements 2.0 today, the icon in the dock changed to a blank file icon and the Script Editor launched. The icon in the application folder did the same.
I trashed the Elements application folder and reinstalled with the same result, three times.
I repaired Permissions and restarted before and after installing.
I have launched every other application on the machine without incident, so it seems confined to Photoshop.
The same thing happened to the backup copy of Elements on the external drive connected to this machine.
The only change since last using Elements successfully is the installation of Machacha, which splits and joins video files. I also trashed it as part of my recovery effort, to no avail.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes out of the blue, for no evident reason, Finder/LaunchServices stops recognizing programs that end with a dot and a number as programs. I suppose one could try to discover why, and fix it, or you can just use GetInfo to change the application name from "Photoshop Elements 2.0" to "Photoshop Elements2.app"--which is easy to do and so far has always worked.

Trying to open Adobe Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014 will launch Creative Cloud

As written in the subject, I have the problem that Bridge doesn't start anymore since updating to Photoshop CC 2014.
Instead the creative Cloud desktop application is launched and tries to reinstall Bridge CC (although it is already installed)
All old Bridge version were uninstalled without result.

I have the same issue when trying to Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014. When I click "Browse in Bridge" in Photoshop CC 2014, the Creative Cloud desktop client window opens up and asks "Are you sure you want to install this version of Bridge"?
Like you, I also thought it was an update so I clicked' "Yes, install this version" option.
Bridge will launch from the dock icon I have set up, but not from within Photoshop CC 2014.
Any solutions to this bug anyone?
