to open raw files is greyed out, no more mass production, i downloaded raw updater 5.7, but that did not
help...any ideas on this problem?

I have the same problem, having just bought CS5

Open in Camera Raw greyed out (Mac)

I am unable to open files in Bridge CS3 using this option which is greyed out. I have downloaded the latest upgrade (4.3) twice, checked the location of the plug in (...>CS3>File Formats), purged cache, checked permissions, read forum submissions here and still cannot find a solution. Powermac G4 i.25 GHz, 1 Gb DDR Ram, Mac OS 10.4.11, Adobe CS3, Photoshop 10.0.1, Bridge 2.1.1.9 Is there any other action I can take please?
Thanks
Barry

Barry,
 
 Just making sure you do have the correct path

 Ouch! That is pathetically little RAM. Max that machine out with as much RAM as it will take.
 
 While you're still running on such a miserly amount of RAM, make sure you do not let Photoshop use more than about 45% of available RAM, or you'll be starving the OS and Bridge of RAM.

Why is "Open in Camera Raw" greyed out?

I'm using CS2 and recently upgraded to Mac OSX 10.5.8 from 10.4.11. Camera Raw has never been available to me, but I really need it now because there is no version of Canon's raw file utility (Digital Photo Professional) that will work with 10.5 on a Powerbook G4. The Camera Raw plugin is in it's correct place in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plut-Ins/CS2/File Formats/Camera Raw.plugin. Neither Camera Raw.plugin 3.6 nor 3.7 works. I am using a Canon 40D. Please help.

Support for Canon 40D was added in ACR 4.2, which works with Photoshop CS3 not CS2. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3730
However you can download and install the latest DNG converter, convert your files using the save options compatible to camera raw 4.1 and later.You will then be able to open your 40D dng files in CS2.

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.
Please e-mail me a copy of your response to [email protected]
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...

Can't select 'open in camera raw...' in Bridge

I have CS3 and I just recently updated my camera raw plug-in to 4.2. Updates have allowed me to see my CR2 files (instead of an icon) ; which was a problem before. But now I can't select the 'open in camera raw...' function in Bridge. The function is still listed in my 'file' menu, however it's grayed out and cannot be selected. I'm hoping this has something to do with a setting, or at least an easy fix. Any help or guidance on this would be extremely helpful! Thanks!

Camera Raw 4.2? The current version is 4.6.
If you can't access the Camera Raw command from Bridge with raw files, the odds are you didn't install it correctly...since you don't bother to state your OS, we can't really help you with WHERE to place Camera Raw (and only ONE version of Camera Raw) but you should go back and double check it's in the correct place for your OS.

Open camera raw greyed out in Bridge

I reinstalled my CS3 Photoshop and Bridge after replacing my hard drive in my Macintosh Pro desktop. All works well until I tried to use Bridge to open camera raw. "open camera raw" is greyed out and there is no way to open those files in Photoshop.
Everything in the rest of the software seems OK.
Thanks for any advice from you folks.
Greg

Bridge: Apply all CS3 updates in order, bottom to top.
Photoshop Version CS3 (not CS3 International), Start from the bottom with Buffering Extensions, 10.0.1 update, and you can go all the way to Adobe Camera Raw 4.6
If you have a camera models beyond what's supported in 4.6 and your OSX is 10.7 or later, download the 8.7.1 DNG converter.

Batch of images opened in Camera Raw appearing out of sequence

Hello!
I'm using Photomechanic to select groups of images that I then want to adjust in Camera Raw. If I select 15 or so images, they do not appear in Camera Raw as per numerical sequence, but in some kind of random order, which makes adjusting take longer since similar images are not appearing together.
I'd like the images to appear in order as per sequence number. How can I fix this?
I'm using photoshop cs6 and a mac oxs10.6.8.
Thanks!

Usually, overall yellow/warm casts can be easily and quickly reduce or
eliminated by bumping the White Balance's Temperature slider down a little
bit (e.g., from 4500 K to 4300 K).

Jim, thanks for your reply. I think this will help me. I also upgraded to
Camera RAW 5.4, and there appear to be some more profile options, such as
Adobe Standard. It looks like this works pretty well. I will have to do some
more testing at a later time with the CR defaults as well.

When I try to open up camera raw it shuts down Adobe Bridge, can anyone help?

I am using mac. My problem at first was that when I tried to open a RAW image it would just shut down either photoshop cs4 or bridge cs4. Then I installed that Camera Raw 5.2 update, now I can open a raw image if I double click it from my desktop. But once I am in bridge and try to open a raw image, it loads for a few seconds and shuts down bridge. Is there a way to fix this?
Even when I when I try to change the camera raw preferences in bridge (File > camera raw preferences) that also shuts down bridge.

Go to photoshop, and check , in the Photoshop menu>about plug-ins
What version of camera raw do you see?
There should only be one camera raw plug-in installed at the default location (check the read-me or the FAQ of this forum)

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.

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?

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.

NEF files not opening in camera raw in CS5

I have lightroom 3.2 and photoshp CS5 extended
I am running if 64 bit in Windows 7
If I try to open a .nef file from lightroom usinf crtl-e it does not open in the raw editor. it goes directly to what I would call the jpeg editor.
Now can I get my .nef files to open from lightroom into CS5?
If I open the .nef file from bridge it opens in camera raw just fine, or if I open it from windows explorer it opens in camera raw.
Help! this is very frustrating!!
Thanks in advance.

If LR is 3.2 and ACR is 6.2 (or they are otherwise synchronized to an older or newer version) then LR will tell PS to use ACR behind the scenes to render the file on the way into PS w/o having to go to an intermediate file and w/o seeing the ACR interface. LR does not render anything, ACR does, but you don't see it, except maybe a progress bar if it takes too long.
The adjustments in LR are the same as ACR so there's no need to show the ACR interface, right? When LR and PS are being used together, LR is meant to be the keeper of the adjustments in its database that ACR knows nothing about. If the ACR UI was visible and you tweaked something in ACR after coming out of LR it wouldn't get stored back into the LR database unless you synchronized the folder, later, and things would be a confusing mess.
Alternatively, if the LR and ACR version's aren't synced up, then LR may indeed render a TIF or PSD for PS to open, but again w/o ACR doing anything. So in no circumstance of LR-PS integration should you see the ACR plug-in when you tell LR to open into PS.

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

CS5 does not support ACR 8.5, it only goes as far as 6.7.
You will need to convert your raw files to DNG format with the free converter. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html
