My issue started as ACR grayed out in Bridge using PS CC. No option in preference to open in Camera Raw.

My issue started as ACR grayed out in Bridge using PS CC. No option in preferences to open in Camera Raw. After browsing this forum I downloaded the most recent ACR and installed. Now Bridge stalls on the "building crieria" screen. There is a message to purge the cache but that screen stalls as well. I have force quite multiple times and re-started. Any suggestions?

As far as i know, photoshop cs2 and adobe bridge 1 (cs2) could not open jpegs or tiffs into camera raw, only camera raw files.
I believe photoshop cs3 was the first version to allow jpegs to be opened in camera raw.
Are you sure you had photoshop cs2 before?
If on the other hand, you can't open camera raw files that you used to be able to open, then you probably just need to update the camera raw plugin to version 3.7

The textbox for setting a start page is grayed out, and I cannot change the start page.

When I go to Options form, the textbox for "Mozilla Firefox Start page" is grayed out, and unchangeable. If I navigate to a page, then set that as my start page, closing and restarting Firefox reverts back to the Firefox/Google startpage - my home page setting is not being saved.
I have tried resetting Firefox, restarting with add-ons disabled, even deleting and recreating a new profile, but it still does this.

Well, I lack the sufficient administrator privileges to uninstall the current install of Firefox, but - oddly enough - not to install a new copy to another folder.
So I installed the software, and viola - it worked!
Thanks!

Bridge CS3 "Open in Camera Raw" unavailable (grayed out)

I am using Bridge CS3 (2.0.0.975; and Photoshop CS3) under Vista Home Premium. I have two accounts on this system (one administrative "root," and my primary limited user account).
My problem: under my primary account (even if I switch it to administrative), unless I open raw files with ACR, I cannot access "Open in Camera Raw..." under the file menu (as it is grayed out and inaccessible while trying to open jpg files, etc.). However, using the administrative account I can access/use the command. I tried uninstalling CS3, switching my primary to administrative and reinstalling using my primary account, but it still appears grayed out and I still cannot open files using the abbrev "Ctrl+R." Note, I can open jpg files in ACR, but this must be the default for all jpg files not ones that I select to open.
Also, under preferences>Labels, I need to uncheck the "Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings" every time Bridge is restarted as it will not save from startup to startup. Any help is appreciated. --Greg

There are 3 places to check this option, 1 in Bridge preferences itself, 1 in the camera raw preferences via Bridge and the last one in the PS preferences from PSCS3 itself.
They all should have a checkmark. But there are some issues with this option. You might also want to refresh the preferences with restarting Bridge an holding down option key and after doing so again check and set the prefs to your wishes.

Open in Camera raw grayed out for some tifs not others, bridge

I searched but could not find a solution. CSR. PC. Windows xp. In CS4 Bridge the option to open with Camera raw is grayed out in the file menu for some tifs and not others - It shows up grayed out on the file menu, but doesn't show at all when right clicking, even with the files where open with camera raw is not grayed out in the file menu. I have purged the cache, deleted all temp files, closed both bridge and photoshop and still I cannot open the tif in camera raw. It is grayed out. If I go to the pic I touched up yesterday the option is not grayed out. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

My intent is to batch process in Camera Raw -- my preferences have always been set to use camera raw for TIF and JPG files, and I have never had a problem accessing Camera Raw either directly in PhotoShop itself, or Bridge.

Uh, this is a forum...not an email tech support organization...
As for your issue, it's simply not clear what you are doing or what issue you have. Can you not open the scanned images via Camera Raw from within Bridge? If you can then you will need to go through each image and adjust the ACR settings before you would be able to process them. Depending on how you set up your actions, Photoshop's Batch may or may not catch settings...that part is pretty complicated.
Also, I would question your use of JPEGs vs TIFFs. I would suggest scanning as 16 bit TIFF and running those through Camera Raw...you will be loosing a lot to scan into 8 bit JPEG and then re-running through Camera Raw. You really want to be sending ACR 16 bit images...

Bridge File Open in camer raw, is grayed out. Camera raw works in PS.

Why, when a raw file open in Bridge with a double click opens in camera raw, that same file in bridge the 'open camera raw' option in the file menu is grayed out?

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

It could be because you have Firefox set to not remember any history. Did you do that intentionally? It is set in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Perhaps it would work if you choose "Use custom settings for history" and just turn off the specific things you want to turn off.
Any luck?

Tiff previously edited in ACR will not open in Camera RAW from Bridge

Yes, I have googled this and found instances going back to 2010 with no satisfactory answer. I have Photoshop 5.1 and the latest ACR and Bridge that work with it. 2011 MAC Mini 10.8.2.
I scanned a landscape oriented printed email image at 800 spi as a portrait orientation and saved it as a tiff. I opened this tiff in Preview and decided it needed more than minor tweaks so I opened it in ACR from Bridge, made a few adjustments and saved it. I thought I could see what I was doing better if it was in landscape orientation again so I opened it in Preview and rotated 90 deg CCW, saved it as a tiff. Going to Bridge I found Open in Camera Raw greyed out. I went back to Preview to see if I could get what I needed in its Tools while viewing it in landscape. Adjustments took forever this time, so I gave up and took a look at the image characteristics. Rotating in Preview had changed the image size to 3.3333...... times larger at 240 ppi still aRGB, still a tiff. This has never happened before, including slow adjustments
I duplicated the rotated file and changed it back to 800 ppi and normal size, went to Bridge, Camera Raw still greyed out. Original unrotated image
that had been edited in ACR and saved will still open in ACR.
All kinds of strange things have happened since updating to 10.8.2, but I don't think this is one of them because of the complaints I have seen that date back to 2010. I did a full maintenance routine, i e cleared RAM, reboot in single user with fsck -fy, repaired permissions, back up with SuperDuper which repairs permissions again. Then I tried Bridge again, original will open, rotated won't.
Anyone know the answe?

The answer is that making edits in ACR and saving it creates layers in the tiff and Bridge will then not open it again in ACR unless you flatten it. I still don't know why Preview increased the image size by 3.333.....x or why ACR increased the tiff file size by 2.6x and why the flattened tiff is 2x the file size of the original scan but the image dimensions are the same. This stuff apparently is above the pay grade of anyone in google, too.

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.

Issue with clearing a grayed out search criteria field

Hi,
I have grayed out a field ABC for its default value XYZ in the search criteria of lead search...
But when I click the CLEAR button, it clears the XYZ value of field ABC..
I don't want the value of ABC to be cleared...
Do I need to redefine the CLEAR method?
How do I achieve this purpose?
Thanks
Madhukar

Hi Madhukar,
go to your eh_onclear event place the break point check the code where exactly parameters values are clearing. copy the standard code redefine the method eh_onclear past the code in your redefine method and change the logic where exactly the parameters are clearing as a standard.
ex as the above code:
WHILE lr_param IS BOUND.
     lr_param->get_properties( IMPORTING es_attributes = ls_param ).
in ls_param you will get ATTR_NAME as ur field and low,high sign option values
check this ls_param-ATTR_NAME ne 'urfield'. clear the content else check the low and high value of the remaining field values.
     IF ( ls_param-low IS NOT INITIAL ) OR
        ( ls_param-high IS NOT INITIAL ).
       CLEAR: ls_param-low, ls_param-high.
       lr_param->set_properties( EXPORTING is_attributes = ls_param ).
     ENDIF.
     lr_param = lr_iterator->get_next( ).
   ENDWHILE.
if you want more info share me your component and view name.
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivas.

R61i fingerprint login name grayed out already in use

ThinkVantage asks for and verifies fingerprint then goes to a screen for enrolling a new user. My name is filled in but grayed out, the password field is available but when I enter my password and click continue it tells me that name is already in use (or something to that effect) but there is no way to change it, no way to get to any other choice. Please, please help....
Moderator edit: Added more description to subject.

Hi,
can you describe a bit the environment in which yo uare using your system?
Are you not using this as your terminal server? Just a guess.
I can only imagine, that there is some confusion of the application, or it might be started twice.
I have tried to test this and could not reproduce this situation.
Can you describe me your environment.
Cheers

"Create outlines" grayed out for text-- what is the RIGHT option??

Hey all,
So here's what happened. I created an image for a print template in PS (which I use all the time) and then used file-place to bring the image into the AI version of the template. (I don't use AI very often...) I knew that it might not be a good idea to bring in the text, so I didn't. Instead, I recreated the text in AI, selecting it with the text tool to change font size, etc. Each of the three pieces of text is on a separate outline. The next step is supposed to be to convert the text to outlines, but you guessed it, the "create outlines" option is grayed out.
The text is Titre font (I tried a few others and it didn't seem to make any difference.) The version for both PS and AI is CS5.
I've spent a lot of time searching for the solution online, but the problem is that there seem to be about a gazillion different possible options for what might work. Given the parameters here (created text in AI, selected with text tool, using separate layers), which is actually the RIGHT solution??
This artwork is for prizes for a writing contest (custom mugs), and it's supposed to be in by Wednesday-- HELP is greatly appreciated!!
(P.S.: This isn't my first post!! I'm not sure why the forums are listing it that way.)

Realnise,
No, if you have three separate instances of Type, as it seems, for each of these you have to make sure it is selected in its entirety.

Visa Control grayed out when executable used with Run-time Engine

When I run an executable on a machine with only the Run-time Engine the Visa Control for Com Ports is grayed out. I'm guessing that I am missing a library, but do not know which one.

You need to install the VISA run-time. If you are just using VISA for serial communication, then there is an option on the app builder (Installer Settings>Advanced) for Serial Port Support. This will add a much smaller version of the VISA run-time engine to the installer you create. If you are using GPIB, etc., you have to install the hardware driver (i.e. NI-GPIB) and the full VISA run-time engine.
