Open jpg in Photoshop/ACR

There are time that I'd like to open jpg files in PS-CS4/ACR and others staught into PS-CS4. The later is easy as I have a context menu option to pass the file directly to PS but sometime I'd like to go the ACR route. I prefer not to use Bridge-CS4 if possible. Is there a parameter I can use in a shortcut on an WinXP machine?
Thanks,
RON C

An alternative way to work is to set your camera raw preferences to always open jpg files in ACR. When you select your file in Windows use your context menu to select Open With Photoshop and it will open in the ACR window ready to go. If you do not want that file to be processed in ACR then a simple click on the large Open Image button will put you into Photoshop proper.

Acrobat X Pro keeps opening jpgs with PHOTOSHOP!

This is killing me... attached .jpgs I have within Acrobat files used to click open in PREVIEW. Quick, easy, at a glance. Since installing Photoshop via Creative Cloud, every time I click an image, I have to wait for Photoshop to spin up, run its nonsense, then show me a simple, single pic within its cumbersome, unnecessary layout.
I get the logic, they're both Adobe products, but I don't need Photoshop to open unless I WANT it to open!! For the love of all things holy I'm hoping someone can tell me how to select which app opens when I click on an image in Acrobat X Pro.
Adobe Acrobat 10.1.13
Macbook Pro current gen.
OS 10.8.5
Thanks!

I solved this.
I noticed some alternate options for opening attachments (seen in attached photo.) The second from left is "open file in it's native application."
That got me thinking on how to fix this... Even though the attachment was a simple .jpg, it has somehow been created in photoshop; so it kept opening photoshop. I opened it in Preview via the finder, did a "save as" through Preview and replaced the Acrobat attachment with this new file. That in turn reverted it to the Preview app.
Thanks for your reply!
And lesson learned.

Default open jpg to photoshop cc 2014 in win 8.1

Why dont beta testers find things like this. in windows 8.1, you can not change the default program for jpg, jpeg or gif to photoshop cc 2014 in default settings it always defaults to photoshop cc 64bit instead. Tif and Tiff however can be switched to default open to Photoshop cc 2014 without incident. Even though I direct the jpg and gif families to photoshop cc 2014, it is always set to photoshop cc 64bit.

That should work, but rather than using the control panel open a Windows Explorer window and right-click on a file with the extension you want to open in Photoshop. Then select the and select the Open With option and if Photoshop CC 2014 is available in the list click it. If it's not there, select Choose Default Program and in the new window that appears choose More Options at the bottom of the window and then Look For Another App On This Computer from the bottom of the window again. Then you can navigate directly to the Photoshop CC 2014 install folder and manually select the Photoshop.exe file from there. That should then set Photoshop CC 2014 as the default program.
If this still doesn't work, then you'll have to see about getting help from Microsoft's forums as it's really an issue with Windows and not Photoshop.

Can't open jpg in Photoshop

hi, im building an indd file and can attach jpg files with no problem, but when I try to open these jpg files in photoshop to check them (size, resolution, etc) it says 'invalid/unknown jpeg marker', what gives? if indesign can read them does that mean that theyre ok? these jpgs were sent to me. Im working on CS3 on a Mac
thanks!

That error message indicates the file is corrupted.

Not necessarily. You may be looking at preeview built by InDesign.

Opening jpg in photoshop from lightroom

I have Lightroom 4.2 and Photoshop CS6. If I'm viewing a photo in LR and select edit in CS6, the photo doesn't open in camera raw, even though I have CR selected in photoshop preferences as my preference. Is this normal?

You cannot open directly into ACR from Lightroom. Lightroom and ACR perform the same functions. In the transfer from Lightroom to Photoshop the design is for ACR to simply interpret the adjustments made in Lightroom, and apply those adjustments to the image that is opened in Photoshop. Technically speaking, ACR isn't needed for anything else because it is simply a duplication of effort. So if you want to return or enter ACR, you have to do as Rick indicated, and double click on the smart object in the layers panel.

Win 7 refuses to open jpg in Photoshop using explorer

Recently I installed an update to Corel X6 after I had updated CS6 of Photoshop. Now despite choosing Photoshop as the default application, jpgs open in Acrobat.
Just choosing Photoshop as the default application doesn't change anything. They still open in Acrobat unless I first start Photoshop and open the file I want. Can anyone tell me the registry key to fix this please?
R.

Well Noel ... That's a new one on me. I wasn't aware when changing a program's default file types you had to log off and on. I tried doing that but although I'm administrator on both logins, I can "choose" photoshop right enough but Acrobat remains the default program for jpgs. I have never set this. It should just allow me to record Photoshop as the default program, it does not.
Stormboy... Let me assure you I followed your instructions and they did not work. Even when my gut tells me advise is wrong, I'll still try it. Your advise didn't work.
The process of changing the default program to open a jpg file to be Photoshop by using the GUI is where the problem lies. Sure, I can navagate to the Adobe folder and select Photoshop to become the default but it has no effect. The file will still be opened by acrobat and converted to a PDF. Since posting this issue, I found plenty on the subject in the Microsoft Tech site.
Even to the point of a helpful guy providing me with what I asked for at the beginning of this thread... The name of the registry hive I need to edit to fix the issue. All too often we get so used to working with a GUI that we forget Windows is ultimately controlled by command line instructions.
Armed with information from Microsoft knowledge base, I reset the default for JPG files to Photo Viewer. In doing that I also killed the registry instruction that was preventing me from changing the default. From there I added Photoshop to the list of programs that could open a JPG file.
Now when I use explorer to locate a file, right clicking it will give me the option to "open with" and amongst the programs that can open a JPG, Photoshop is top of the list. It was a Windows 7 problem, not an Adobe issue. I suspect it was caused by using a registry cleaner to defrag the registry but I guess I'll never really know for sure.
Thanks for your help gents,

Easy way to open JPGs in Camera Raw Module?

I am aware of the way to open JPGs in the ACR module by being in the Editor, and going to File>Open and changing the file type to RAW. I find this to be terribly inconvenient, however.
Is there any way to open a JPG in RAW from the Organizer where I can actually see the files? With regular Photoshop/Bridge I can just right click in Bridge and open in RAW easily. But I can't seem to find a way to do something similar in PSE11? There has to be an easier way because going to File>Open and trying to figure out what file I need from a huge pile of files is not a very good workflow.
Thanks.

If you want to edit multiple JPGs in a raw editor interface, then you might consider using Lightroom, which is a bit cheaper than Photoshop.
The public-beta (release candidate) of Lightroom 5.2 just came out, today, and is available at Adobe Labs:

How do I open jpg files in camera raw?

I have read in numerous articles that I can open jpg files in ACR from within Elements 11. They all state to go File>Open, then browse to the jpg you wish to open, select Camera Raw from the file type and select the jpg. When I select the Camera Raw file type then all the jpg images disappear in the selection area or if I click the jpg first and then select Camera Raw and open then it says file not found. Am I doing this wrong or are the articles I am reading incorrect?

Hi Majortipper,
In Elements 11 go to File menu >> open as .
It will open a file open dialog where you have a "format" drop-down instead of format menu.
In Elemens 12 this "open as" is replaced with "Open in camera raw"
thanks,

I cannot open JPG images in Camera RAW from Bridge or via "Open as" facility in Photoshop

I am going crazy with Photoshop CC!!! I have been using Photoshop CC and Bridge CC since Feb 2014 and have a recurring problem, which comes back periodically after having been fixed with the aid of the Adobe Help Chat facility. Today the Chat facility is not on-line, so in desperation I'm hoping someone in the Community can help me.
When I try to open a JPG file in Bridge I get the message "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that aqualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature".
When I try to open a JPG file in Photoshop using the "Open As" facility, I get the message "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file".
I am running CC on a Dell laptop under Windows 7 64-bit.
Can anyone help me please?

I should add that JPGs edited with ACR usually need to be writable for ACR to be able to store the adjustment-settings inside themselves. RAW files typically use an XMP sidecar to store settings, but JPGs typically don't.
If the files weren't read/write then ACR would have no way to store the adjustments in them and so is smart enough to not make them available for editing.
The other hint is that if you copy the files to your desktop--where the permissions are likely to be more friendly, they work.
To check the permissions, right-click on one of the files in Explorer, select Properties from the context menu and look at the Security tab. Look at the various user-groups, like Users, Authenticated Users, Administrators, etc, and see what access each has to one oft he problem files, and then to one of the files that works ok.
You might also check the Effective Rights of a particular user to a particular file by clicking on the Advanced button in the Security tab. Here is an example where I show only Read + Read & Execute access to an NEF for general users, but when I check my own logged in User (steve) I have Full Control which includes all the other access privileges, and this is either because I'm in the Administrators group or I am the owner, I'm not sure. It is possible that Bridge or Photoshop is running in a user context other than your logged in user, or it's possible that another user accessed the files and changed the permissions to them.

Bridge won't open JPG files in Photoshop CS3

I changed my preferences to remove the check-box "prefer Adobe camera RAW for Jpeg and TIFF files" , restarted Bridge and tried to open a JPEG from bridge directly into photoshop. But double clicking on the image in bridge opened "paint".
So I change the Bridge preferences back to Prefer ACR for JPEG again, restart Bridge, and then bridge tells me that it cannot find Photoshop CS2. CS2 is not even loaded on this machine anymore.
So then I go to the file type associations preferences and "browse" to the CS3 version of photoshop, restart bridge, and double click on a JPEG and it again says that CS2 cannot be found. I change the association again using the "browse" to CS3 and then it opens the image up in "Paint" again.
Why won't Bridge open JPEG's in ACR anymore?
Why won't bridge open JPEG's in Photoshop CS3 anymore?

Bill, thanks for the reply. But I do not think that the file associations is the answer here. If I am using bridge to open files in ACR or Photoshop, I do not believe that I need to change the windows file type association. I have other PC's where the file association is not photoshop and bridge works fine opening these files. In fact, when using windows explorer to navigate JPG files, I do NOT want photoshop being opened to preview these images. On my other PC's, I can both preview JPG's using windows picture viewer, and open the JPG's via bridge in ACR. Furthermore, Photoshop CS2 is NOT the application listed for JPG's in the folder options in the control panel. So the problem that I have here has something to do with Bridge or perhaps something is corrupted int he files.
The reason why I suspect a corruption, is that not all files behave in the same manner in bridge. Some files with the same extension open as I would expect, while others do not. I did not realize this fact when I made my original post.

How can I make my new Mac always open JPGs, TIFFs, etc., in Photoshop not Preview?

This worked fine on my old Mac (OS X 10.8.5). I selected a JPG & went through these steps: Open with > Other > Adobe Photoshop CS4 > click on “Always Open With”. After that, double-clicking on any JPG opened it in Photoshop. Same for TIFFs etc. On my new Mac (OS X 10.9.2), this works only for each individual file. I am in & out of Photoshop all day long & really need to be able to open photos by double-clicking on them. Help, please.

Your problem seems to have nothing really to do with Photoshop but be an OS issue.
Have you tried repairing permissions yet? (I’m not on Mac OS 10.9, but permission issues seem like a possible culprit.)

Photoshop CS2 opens but wont perform any task (open jpgs, create new jpgs etc). Other CS2 progs such as indesign are fine. MAC shop, couldn't fix, said I should ty install op system 4 Powerbook G4-dont have discs- can I get them?other solution? OS 10.4.11

Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
Thanks

Opening JPG directly in Photoshop, passing Camera Raw

Hi! I would like to open JPGs that were edited in Camera Raw directly in Photoshop and I saw in this video from Russel Brown how I could do this. Only, he is using Bridge CS3 in the video and I am using CS4. The thing is that I don't have "Always open JPEG files with setting using Camera Raw", instead I have a dropdown with: "Disable JPEG support", "Automatically open JPEG with settings" and "Automatically open all supported JPEG". I tried these options but they don't help.
Menu options in the video
The menu options that are available to me
Do you have any solutions?
Thank you,
Victor

I just realised that setting to "Disable JPEG support" bypasses Camera Raw, but it has to be done to every file individually, and in that video from Russel Brown he just set an option and every JPEG opened in Photoshop bypassed Camera Raw. Do you know if this feature can be set in CS4 too?
Thank you,
Victor

Is there a solution to Photoshop CS3ex only opening jpg & tif images in plug-in "RAW"?

Using the Preference for File Handling, if Adobe 'Prefer Camera Raw" for JPEG not checked, program shuts down by Windows Problem Error. Uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop twice.

Thanks for the quick reply.
......BUT didn't correct the problem
Also I went back to Photoshop and unchecked "always open jpg with camera raw settings and the program as usual crashed with the error message "Adobe Photoshop cs3 has stopped working etc."
This all started without warning weeks ago which I blame on these automatic updates by windows.
Since then I've easily spent a week chasing possibilities including twice deleting and reinstalling the programs in the Suite.
Additionally there is something else going on.....at start up I am instructed to restart for upload updates to install which doesn't work either.
After doing the total reinstalls, I had to resort to downloading updates from the Adobe Site as updates from the different programs required uselessly restarting the computer. All a kind of dominos effect after the total reinstalls and having to do upgrades from Adobe and not from each of the program's update option.
At least it "works" with the Raw settings.

Opening JPG from Bridge via ACR in PS causes ACR to run twice.

Using PSCS3 and Bridge CS3, with both set to prefer ACR when opening JPG files. Sometimes when opening a file from within Bridge with PSCS3, ACR runs twice. The image can be opened in PS and then ACR opens again with another copy of the JPG. Cancelling the ACR window closes it.
Anyone else get ACR running twice on the one JPG?
Thanks.
Stew.

The most common reason for patch to fail is the absence of folder "AdobePatchFiles" folder or it's content from location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe\AdobePatchFiles" and it's counterpart location in Mac.
If this folder or its contents are missing then the patch cannot be applied , the only way to resolve this is to Reinstall the product and then apply patch again.
Now there can be two cases :
1) Was this folder removed manually or some other action caused this removal of folder( May be some script or Defragmentation or anything). In this case please reinstall product and apply patch again.
2) If the folder and its contents are intact but still patcher failed, then please follow the following steps:
     a) Create ribs3debug file without any extension inside %temp% directory of your system
     b) Run Patcher again
     c) If it fails , send the log files that are generated inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
Hope it clears some of the facts around failure. If there are any underlying issues then we all hope to resolve them as soon as we have more information.
