Opening a .tif in Camra RAW

I am having a problem figuring out why it is that some images I have saved from CS5 as a tif can then later be opened from Bridge into Camera RAW, while other images saved as a tif from CS5 can not be opened into Camera RAW.
Is there a setting I need to make prior to saving the image that will allow it to open in Camera RAW?
Thanks

Some trivia that could prove helpful in understanding how it all works:
Not talking about TIFF here, now, but a PSD...
If you save a multi-layered PSD file with Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility set, a single "compatibility image" - where all the layers are merged into one - is created behind the scenes and also saved as part of the document file.
What this means is that unlike your TIFF this PSD, even though it has multiple layers, actually CAN be opened through Camera Raw, but (IMPORTANT) what you'll be working with is the flattened "compatibility image".
However, I'm not sure actually setting up to do this is a good idea, because it opens up a GOTCHA: It could lead you down the path to re-opening a layered PSD and in the process losing all your layers.
But I thought I'd mention it as knowing how things really work can make those things all the more useful.

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?

How do I open my TIF file into Camera Raw from Bridge?

Trying to follow a tutorial on editing an HDR image in photoshop. When instructed to open the TIF image into Camera Raw from Bridge, I don't get the option when I right click. What is going on here?

I was talking about an advanced action, which is not loaded externally but executed on runtime (will be translated to AS). So this will only work if you can pass the value of the variable containing the slide number you want to the SWF. For that you'll need JavaScript and I'm not that acquainted with JS. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's blog:
http://captivatedev.com/series/captivate-javascript-series/
In Captivate you create an advanced action to be triggered on entering the first slide, that will jump to the wanted slide number. If you can figure out how to pass the slide number, could help with the advanced action, I know them rather well:

I downloaded Camrea Raw 8.7 and now I can't open PS CS5

I downloaded Camrea Raw 8.7 and now I can't open PS CS5. This is the error I get.

This is what fixed the error:
Possibility for the error is if you have Photoshop using an additional Plugins folder. This is a preference set in your Photoshop Preferences>Plugins.
Uncheck the Use Additional Plugins folder, then quit and restart Photoshop.
Thanks everyone.

Starting an action by opening an image in Camera RAW

I am currently using Adobe CS3 Design Premium with Windows XP Pro as the operating system. The computer is a self build and has 2GB of RAM, 450GB of onboard HD storage and 6x500GB of external HD storage.
As a photographer I frequently end up with anything between a 100 and 300 RAW images after a days work and convert them to DNG, Tif and JPEG files.
With CS2 I ran an action which opened the image in Camera RAW which then enabled me to make adjustments before opening the image in Photoshop and completing the other elements of the action. Since upgrading to CS3 I have been unable to create a similar action and having read the "knowledge based" information and looked through the topics in the forum have failed to find anything that is of help. As each image and the conditions under which it has been taken differ it is quite important to make corrections in Camera RAW before completing the action in Photoshop and fixed settings applied by Camera RAW would be inappropriate.
It is always possible that I am making a fundamental error in writing the action but given my previous experience it seems unlikely. Incidentally I usually bring up the images in Bridge and then select the best images to process and start the action from Bridge.
I should be very grateful for any help in resolving this problem

>It is always possible that I am making a fundamental error in writing the action but given my previous experience it seems unlikely. Incidentally I usually bring up the images in Bridge and then select the best images to process and start the action from Bridge.
there's your problem...when you start the action recording from Photoshop you'll need to actually open a raw image FROM Photoshop not from Bridge. Don't know if this changed from CS2>CS3, but that's the only sure way of recording an open function...from within Photoshop. Then in the Batch you'll still need to override open so the open will open the image with the parameters already set in the image.

How to open smart object in camera raw

Hi,
As the subject line reads, I'm having trouble opening a smart object in camera raw. Every tutorial I read or watch says, "double click on your smart object thumbnail to open the image in camera raw." But every time I do, all it does is open a copy of the image as a .psb file.
Before you ask,
-The images I work with are stock images, JPG's.
-I've tried to find an option in Photoshop > Preferences that will let me open smart objects in camera raw all the time;
-I've tried opening these files directly in camera raw. When I do, there's a little link below the image that reads something like,
Adobe RGB (1998); 8 bit; 2008 by 3000 (6.0 MP); 240 ppi
I click on it, and there's a 'click box for "open in Photoshop as smart objects"; clicking this will allow me to open the image in Camera Raw upon double clicking on the thumbnail. But it will only work that way for that one instance of that one image.
Anyway to make this happen?
Thanks,
KP

What is the .extension after your filename on this file? Needs to be .jpg, .tif or .psd. Then choose open, and change format to Camera raw.
If you are saving as .jpg, the smart object has been bitmapped, and is a no longer smart object.

Bridge CS6 open file bug with Hasselblad RAW file

There is a bug in Bridge CS6 (or RAW editor?) with (some) Hasselblad RAW files. I have a set of FFF files that I can use and open without problems in Bridge CS6 (5.0.0.399 x64). But one file of them does not show a preview icon and when I try to open it in PS6 or RAW editor, I get an errormessage "unexpected end of file...". When I open the same file in Hasselblad "Phocus" software there is no problem. I can see the preview thumb and I can play around with the file and even export to TIF or DNG without any trouble. I can even open the exported DNG in PS or Bridge/RAW editor then.
Well, you might say I should not care for a single file but it leaves a bad taste, when the Hasselblad software can handle the file without problems...
If some developer want to take a look at this I could provide original files.

I work with a Hasselblad medium format camera. I do not have a CF card in use. And I can tell that this worked absolutely flawless for many years. I NEVER had corrupted files caused by transfer. Many photographers using pro medium format cameras work the same way (Phase One, Leaf, etc.). They do not use CF cards but firewire cable. the problem arised when I started using the CS6 Bridge software. And it turned out that I get more and more corrupted files which appeared to be fine before. So from one shooting i.e. 1 file of 100 was corrupted first. Since I started using Bridge and changed RAW settings and worked with the same files after some days I have 5 corrupted files of 100 now. And NO it is not my system. It works fine with other camera RAWs where I have absolutely no problems. It is only the Hasselblad files. Though I still can open the Hasselblad RAW files with the Hasselblad software. The problems are only with the Bridge (respectively the raw editor) in combination with the Hasselblad files.
To me it looks like CS is corrupting the files since they worked fine at first - even in CS and after some days playing around in CS the appear to be corrupted. Funny that I can open the same files without problems using a different software - isn't it? ;-)
thanks for the link I will try it.... :-)

Applescript: open a JPG in Camera Raw

Hi,
I am trying to open a jpg in Camera Raw unfortunately without success. The applescript command
open <file> as Camera Raw
opens the jpg as a normal document and not within Camera Raw as I would have guessed. Is it even possible with applescript?
A workaround could be to make the open dialog appear so that the user selects the file and chooses Camera Raw as format manually (the photoshop preference to open all jpg in Camera Raw as default is not an option here). Unfortunately the command
Photoshop open dialog
takes no arguments and defaults every time to the desktop folder from where the user has to navigate to the correct location. Is it possible to change the start location of that open dialog?
Thanks in advance.

I hesitate to revive a thread from 2009, but I'm trying to do the same thing with CS 6.
I have the program set to open JPG and TIF files by default via the camera raw setting. However, I've tried various Applescript commands to do the same thing, and it always opens without the Camera Raw dialogue. I'd like to know what specific Applescript command I need to put in, please.
Many thanks...

TIF in Camera Raw?

I want to open a .TIF file in Camera Raw. I thought I asked this question in a prior post, but I didn't get an answer.
Any suggestions?

This may work:
1. File: Open
2. Browse to file and select
3. In Format in lower left of dialog, change from tif to Camera Raw
4. Open
Let me know if this doesn't work.

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

Photoshop on start or opening a photo in camera raw puts computer in Restart mode.

When I start my computer and try to open Photoshop or open a photo in camera raw the computer some of the time will go into restart mode and again and again. I have removed all of Photoshop CC2014 and reloaded from adobe and have the same problem. Any ideas as to what might be happening?

Quite likely the problem is not Photoshop as an application like that should not be able to crash/restart your OS.

Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR). And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS. See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
