  • PSE 6 Opening JPEG & TIFF in Camera Raw using Adobe Bridge

    Hi there,
              I just purchase PSE 6 for mac. This comes with Adobe Bridge CS3. I have purchase a tutorial book as I am brand new to Photoshop. I have become stuck at chapter 1 !!!!!!
    I am trying to open a JPEG image using Camera Raw within Bridge, according to the book all you do is select the image and press cmd +R to open camera raw. I cannot get this to work, it does nothing at all. It also claims that you can open the image you can use open as and select camera raw, I do not seam to have this option
    Any help would be appreciated

    Try asking in the PS Elements forum.

  • Cannot open JPEG files in Camera Raw from Bridge

    I am using Adobe Web Premium CS3 with Windows Vista. In Bridge under File, the "Open in Camera Raw" is grayed out. In preferences, I checked "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" and when I double-click a JPEG file it still opens in Photoshop CS3. I've downloaded and installed the latest Camera Raw plugin (Camera Raw.8bi dated 3/27/2008) into Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats. Nothing seems to work.

    I am experiencing the same problem under XP SP2. It is intermittent. Everything will be OK and then the next time I open the folder Camera Raw is not available.
    I just did a little experiment. I created a sub-folder in the folder that would not produce Cam Raw and moved a jpg to it. When I right clicked it in the new folder, Cam Raw was there as it should be. I moved the jpg back to the original folder that had the problem and Cam Raw opened in that folder too, but not on any of the other jpg's in that folder.
    I moved all of the jpg's to this sub folder and back and Cam Raw was there on all the jpg's.
    There is without a doubt some real flakies in Bridge. I also have workspaces saved that suddenly are not saved any more.
    Hope this helps out your problem Donald. Oh, I am using web premium CS3 also

  • Why can I no longer open jpeg files in camera raw in CS2? The option is grayed out in Bridge

    I was forced to download CS2 from the web after Adobe stopped allowing me to register it from my disks and now I can no longer open files in camera raw. Am I missing something?

    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

  • Opening JPEG files from Camera RAW

    Hi - I just installed ACR V4.1 on my PC. I have PS CS3 installed...My understanding is that from Bridge I could click on a JPG file and it would open ACR 4.1 directly.At the moment i click on the file and PS CS3 open and then it loads ACR.
    Is this the normal behaviour ? before CS3/ACR 4.1 I use to hit CTR-r with genuine RAW/dng fileS and ACR loaded fine without loading CS3...
    I checked the prefs in Adobe and they are set with preference to open JPEG/Tiff.s with ACR.
    I wanted to point out that I also have Lightroom, not sure if any changes under LR would conflict opening the file with ACR...
    Thanks for any help you could provide..
    cheers,
    A

    The big advantage to editing JPEG images in ACR is that all the changes are made nondestructively, the same as in Lightroom. As with raw images, one of your Bridge options is to right-click on the image and clear the settings to restore the image to its original state, unless you saved a JPEG and replaced the original in Photoshop. The new sharpening and clarity controls in ACR 4.1 work as well on JPEG images as they do raw images. I prefer doing my initial editing in ACR regardless of whether I am working with JPEG or raw images.
    A JPEG image is an 8-bit image. You can change your output options in ACR so that the image will be imported into Photoshop as a 16-bit image, but I'm not sure how much benefit will be gained from doing that. If you choose to do it this way, it will still be necessary for you to convert back to an 8-bit image before you will be able to save it as a JPEG again.

  • No option to open JPEGs with Adobe Camera Raw

    I am not able to open jpg files into Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge or anywhere else for that matter. There is simply no option available in File to open in ACR (there's nothing that's even greyed out). Ctrl+R does nothing also. I just installed CS3 so I thought maybe it was an ACR 4.1 issue and downloaded ACR 4.2 to no avail. It will automatically open my CR2 images into ACR from Bridge.
    Any ideas?

    > I think I must be really dense because I don't see any bridge menu > camera raw preferences.
    Lindsay,
    You are not dense at all. That has been reported before. There are two possibilities:
    1. You have Camera Raw installed in the wrong place or improperly (like not having removed the old ACR version); or
    2.You have a bad install of Bridge (and possibly Photoshop). Before going any farther, what platform are you on, Macintosh or Windows?
    I suspect Windows, since you mention "Ctrl-R". If that's the case, I'll let a Windozer help you.
    If you're on a Mac, I can help guide you.

  • I recently switched from PC to a Mac Book Pro and some things are different. I used to be able to open a jpeg or tiff in camera raw on my PC in Photoshop CS6 by going to file, open as, picking my image under file name and "open as" click on camera raw. Ho

    I recently switched from PC to Mac and I want to be able to open a tiff or jpeg in camera raw. I could do it on my PC but can't figure out how to do it in Mac??

    Use File>Open, set Enable to All Readable Documents, then click on your tiff or jpeg and select Camera Raw under Format
    Then click on Open

  • Can only open some JPEG files in Camera Raw through Bridge CS3

    I'm running Bridge CS3 version 2.0.0.975. I always edit my JPEG files through Camera Raw in Bridge CS3. I only have to Right-Click on the file and select "Open in Camera Raw...". However, I've come into a situation where some jpg files will not open this way; the option is not even there.
    I have made sure to tick the box in preferences under Behavior "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge", and also tick the box under Thumbnails -> Performance and File Handling "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF Files.
    These files were originally 16bit Grayscale TIFF files, but I changed them to RGB 8bit JPEG files.
    Also, I know the program works because I navigate to an older photo I worked which is a JPEG and the "Open in Camera Raw..." option is there when I Right-Click, but then I navigate back to the image I want to edit, and the option is not there.
    Here are links to my screenshots of what I'm talking about. Both images in the last two screenshots are JPEG:

    When I open Photoshop CS3, then go File -> Open As and change the Format Type to "Camera Raw", the JPEG files vanish and I can only see the TIF files. When I open them, it doesn't open in Camera Raw, but rather opens like a normal file would.
    That's a fundamental problem right there, and a clue in all this.  You should be able to see JPEGs in the Open As Camera Raw dialog.
    What happens if you type in the name?
    I'm almost convinced you have a file named .jpg but with a different image format inside.  Can you put one of these files online for others to try to open?

  • Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
    Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
    If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
    What is your screen resolution?

  • 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.

  • Bridge (2.1.1.9) in CS3 10.0.1 won't open psd file in Camera Raw

    Why is File/"Open In Camera Raw" greyed out when I try to open a psd file in Bridge?  It will open a jpeg file in Camera Raw.  Thanks

    As far as I know it is not an option to open PSDs in ACR.
    It has to be JPEG or TIFF. (Or raw of course!)

  • 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.
