"Open in Camera Raw" no longer listed... "Test in Device Central" now shows...

If anyone has a moment and knows what the problem is I would appreciate the help. I have been using Bridge for a while now and I always open my pics in Camera Raw before sending them to CS3. The other day as I went to open in Camera Raw I noticed the option was gone. Not only was it gone, but it was replaced with "Test in Device Central". I have no idea what I've done to cause this. If anyone has had this issue or knows how to troubleshoot it then I would be sincerely grateful. I'm using a Mac OS X 10.4.11. Thank you!

Added by edit - bum information, for Windows CS4 hold down the control key and then start up Bridge, a dialog box will pop up enabling you to reset the preferences.

  • I upgraded my camera and opening a camera raw file no longer works

    I went from a Nikon D3000 to a Nikon D5200.  I have an old version of Elements (version 8) and I no longer can open a camera raw file.  I tried finding an answer in the support area but am not sure I found what I needed to know.  Since my camera is new and didn't exist at the time I purchased Elements does that mean that my old version doesn't support my camera?

    You need to buy PSE12 or Lightroom 5.
    Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Bridge CS3 - "Open in Camera Raw..." no longer working

    The "Open in Camera Raw..." feature for JPG is no longer available in Bridge CS3. It was just working last week but now it does not appear when I right click on an image, it's grayed out in the menu and Command-R is disabled. Anyone know what's up? Doesn't work from Photoshop CS3 either.

    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.

    Purge the cache from that folder...if that doesn't work, you may need to reset your Bridge prefs. Since you didn't bother to post your OS (pretty basic info) you'll need to check your OS's process for resetting the Bridge prefs.

  • 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.

  • Cannot open in camera raw

    I have 4 psd files I just made.
    In bridge, right click has no open in camera raw option. Also no open in camera raw from menu.
    Last resort: from photoshop open, change dropdown to camera raw -- but then error message comes up:
    "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file"
    thanks!

    I have Photoshop set up to Always Maximize Compatibility, myself.
    This enables the use of some 3rd party viewers (e.g., IrfanView), and helps better ensure any PSD will be editable by more different software/versions.  That said, most "Never" mode saves can actually be opened by an older version of Photoshop, as long as features not available in the older version have not been used.
    I think the data compression may be better when set to Never, because even a flat Background-only file will make a smaller PSD file when set to Never.  Some say it's faster, too.
    However big disks are cheap, computers are faster than ever, and I hate closing off options that might mean I "can't get there from here" some day in a situation I just haven't anticipated. 
    But that's just my preference.
    A single layer Background-only file can be opened with Camera Raw even if saved with "Never Maximize Compatibility".  A multi-layer file cannot.  So yes, if you flatten the file you can keep the "Never" setting.
    -Noel
    P.S., the "flattened composite" created by saving a compatible PSD is not really a preview - I used the wrong word before.  It's what you'd get with Layer - Flatten, and has all the quality thereof.

  • 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.

  • Scanner tif files opening in Camera Raw

    With CS3 installed, some of my scanner generated tif files from an Imacon
    scanner are now opening in Camera Raw window of PS CS3.
    Windows XP SP2
    Windows file type association set to Photoshop CS3 for tif files.
    Using Windows explorer, choosing to open the tif file in CS2 works fine,
    file opens directly in PS CS2.
    Using Windows explorer, choosing to open in CS3 opens the same file in ACR
    and then in PS CS3.
    David

    David,
    Im glad you opened this thread. Im having the opposite problem. I have a scanner TIF image (sent to me by someone else) that we want to open in ACR. He had already opened it in CS3 ACR4 before sending it. I just installed CS3 today.
    I tested this file at a local camera store yesterday and it behaved as I expected. That is, I could open in PS or ACR as desired via the fly-out menus. But after installing CS3 on my own machine, I could not (Camera Raw options grayed out). I checked with another local user. Same problems.
    Then after reading this thread and purging the folder cache things started working, as I wanted them at least. I would assume the folder cache came from CS2.
    So my question how does this really work? I will want to selectively use it in the future. If I look at the metadata for a NEF image is see camera data (exif) and camera raw data as expected. But I see neither for this image. And I would not expect a scanner to be embedding raw settings unless it truly supports a raw format.
    When I tweak a few ACR settings and click done, the file is updated but no XMP sidecar file is created. I can now see camera raw settings in the metadata panels. This is not what I would expect. And I cant find any camera raw settings in the Photoshop file info panels for either file.
    So, how do I control this behavior for future TIF images? Will I have to purge folder cache if it was created with CS2?
    Cheers, Rags :-)

  • Open with camera raw is gone, any ideas?

    Open with camera raw is gone, any ideas thanks?

    AND FROM THE FINDER:
    Kevin, you keep trying to open files in ACR using the right mouse click menu in Finder and it will never show up. Use Bridge, select the file in the content window and then use right mouse click on a supported file.
    Supported are Raw files according to the list provided on this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    And jpeg and tiff if you have set the camera raw preferences to handling jpeg and tiff files.
    But this works only in Bridge because ACR is a plug in that opens in PS and Bridge. If you choose to the Open With Route you always open ACR in Bridge.
    Setting jpeg and tiff to 'open automatically with settings' means that if you have previous applied ACR settings (the icon for it shows top right of the thumb) you are able to double click or use open to open the files in ACR using PS.
    Setting the prefs to open jpeg and tiff always in ACR means you can use the same options for opening Raw files, but this is not recommended because opening a simple jpeg file in mail or whatever also opens the file first in ACR instead of PS.

  • .psd files dose not open with Camera Raw

    I noticed that if you have a ".psd" file  even if it is Flatten, it will not open in camera raw. I can easily save it to a Tiff or other formats and open it in camera raw, but I wonder why .psd file dose not open in camera raw
    Thanks

    Yes, Trevor, you can indeed opened a non-layered PSD in Adobe Camera Raw—at least in perpetual-license CS6 and earlier, I don't know about the Cash Cow subscription version 14.x which I'm not going anywhere near.
    What you cannot do is open a PSD in Camera Raw by double clicking on it.  You just have to go through  File > Open menu item and its dialog box.
    Once you are in the Open dialog box, select the PSD file you want to open, go to the File Format button on the lower left-hand corner of said dialog box and from the list of formats available in the pop-up menu choose Camera Raw.  The Open button on the lower right will become active and you can then open your file in Adobe Camera Raw.
    Just be sure not to choose the "Photoshop Raw" format from that list of formats in the pop-up menu. "Photoshop Raw" has nothing to do with digital photography at all; it's an ancient, obsolete file format that no one should be using these days.

  • In Adobe Bridge when I try to open my camera raws, I get a pop up box stating "Bridges parent application is not active.  Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature"  What do I do? Please advise

    In Adobe Bridge, when I try to open my camera raws, I get a pop up stating"Bridges parent application is not active.  Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launced at least once to enable this feature."  What the heck?  I have a PC and haven't had problems before.. I have adobe cloud and pay my monthly bill...

    Have you opened Photoshop or any other Adobe app that Bridge works with?  You need to do this if you've upgraded PS or just signed up for CC.

  • When I try to open a photoshop image it opens in camera raw

    I store all my images in jpeg.  Been doing my editing elsewhwere, but yesterday tried to use Adobe Bridge.  I opened a jpeg image in camera raw and was unsuccessful in getting what I wanted.  Now, when I try to open one of my jpeg images in Photoshop it opens in camera raw.  If I click on open image it opens, but in a size that is incorrect and is useless.  Help!!!!!!!

    Hope the screenshots will help you.
    On a Mac ACR prefs are in Bridge / Adobe Bridge / Camera Raw Prefs or if you open a file in ACR at the top is a row of icons, if you choose the menu icon it also provides you those prefs.
    I was wrong about PSD, that should have been Tiff btw...

  • 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.
