Can't open jpegs into Camera Raw from Bridge

Everytime I right click on an image to open it into camera raw I get a message telling me
Bridge's Parent Application is not Active
Bridge Requires that a qualifying product has been launched at
least once to enable this feature.
What???
I don't get it, PS CC is open, so I would have thought that would be the parent application. It used to do it, like until a few days ago. What has happened?

Yep, you would think, but it is open, and it won't do it. the only way I seem to be able to do images in camera raw is to use the camera raw filter in the PS.
It will open a raw file if I double click on it, but not if I right click and select open in camera raw.

Can't open NEF with Camera Raw from Bridge

I recently updated to CS6 and got a new Nikon D600. Downloaded the lastest DNG converter but when I pull up files in Bridge I can't open them with Camera Raw anymore. My process was to open in Bridge. Select the NEF files I wanted then click mouse+control, which gave me a menu to open in Camera Raw. Now my only option is Photoshop CS6. I downloaded the trial for Photoshop CC and Bridge CC but still can't select to open with Camera Raw.
What is going on? I have never had issues like I have been. HELP Please.

From your description it sounds as if Camera Raw isn't installed, or is installed incorrectly. In Photoshop go to Help/about plug-ins/Camera Raw and verify that you have it installed correctly. Since you are on a Mac, I cannot advise as to where it should be installed.
The other thing I have been thinking about in your situation is, how were these images downloaded from your camera?if you used an older version of Nikon Transfer it can alter the files so that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw.
Do you have other software like ViewNX2 or CaptureNX2, and will those programs open your files?

Cannot open some jpgs in Camera Raw from Bridge

A couple of days ago, I rated select images from a set as 5 stars, and now I cannot open these in Camera Raw from Bridge. I get no error messages or anything, there is just simply no option to Open in Camera Raw from the File menu, or the right-click menu. The images I did not rate still open in Camera Raw, and not all of the starred ones have this problem - just 20 or so consecutive images. This makes no sense to me, as all the images as far as I can tell should operate the same way. They are all jpgs. I can find workarounds to this like working in Photoshop (all the images still open in Photoshop) or possibly just reloading the photos from the memory card, but I'd like to know why this would even be a problem to avoid it in the future. I'm using CC on Win 8.

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.

Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
"Bridge's parent application is not active."
Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
Any suggestions.
Cheers

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

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:

Procedure for opening jpegs in Camera RAW

I am helping a friend who is running Elements 6 on an iMac. I can't seem to find the setup which will allow him to open jpegs in Camera RAW.
I know this must be simple but I'm having trouble. Thanks for your help.
Mary Lou

Barbara, while I have your attention, one of my struggles is that my students are partly working on a Mac and some on a PC and Elements isn't identical on both platforms.
I frequently use the slideshow in Bridge on my Mac. I took the time to watch a tutorial in Elements 7 working from Organizer. It has so many more options than slideshow on a Mac. Can PC users access it from the Organizer even if they aren't currently using the Organizer? I normally teach students to control their downloads by placing images in specific folders, either in Pictures or on an external hard drive. Will the Organizer still be available for viewing a folder of images stored elsewhere?
Thanks,
Mary Lou

How do I open jpegs in Camera Raw?

I can't seem to find any instruction on how to open jpegs in Camera Raw. It says that it will do it, but I haven't found the way to do it. Command R is never highlighted when I'm in Bridge and click on a jpeg. Help!
Thank you,
Gregg

I am encountering the same problem in Bridge. Although I marked the preference to open jpeg in Camera Raw. Everytime SC3 opens with the picture.
In early July I folowwed a thread discussing the same problem - without solution. Could it be that this is a bug in Bridge and hopefully Adobe is working on an update?

Cannot open jpeg in camera raw photoshop cc

I can open the jpeg file in photoshop cc and in bridge. If I try to open in photoshop cc using open as (windows 7 32 bit) I get an error message "Could not complete your request because the file-format cannot parse the file" when I select camera raw. If I open the jpeg directly in photoshop cc, the file opens ok and then I can use camera raw thru filters. The file will open fine in camera raw via bridge. This same jpeg file opens fine in camera raw using phtoshop cs6.
thanks
Denis

I am experiencing this same problem. The file was created by xray software. It opens with Windows Photo just fine. This problem was never answered for DenisL111. Why is that?

Opening jpegs into camera raw

I have CS3 Windows and have been reading Kelby's book 7-Point System where he opens jpegs into camera raw. However, the explanation is poorly written for someone who has never done that. Can someone explain? Thanks.
Don

If you use Bridge just right click on thumb and "Open in Camera RAW" is an option in menu.

How to stop CS4 opening JPEGs in Camera Raw?

Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone out there can help. Recently for some reason CS4 decided it wanted to open all JPEGs in Camera Raw.
I am trying to restore whatever setting has changed so JPEGs open directly in Photoshop not Camera Raw.
And before anyone states the obvious yes, I have deselected "Open JPEGs in Camera Raw" under Camera Raw prefs.
I am on a mac (OS X 10.5.7) and have installed the latest updates for CS4 (Camera Raw is version 5.0.0.178).
Any (constructive) input would be welcome. Cheers.

Generally, once a JPG has been opened in ACR and has an embedded adjustment
recipe it will continue to be opened in ACR even though you have the
preference set to not prefer ACR for JPGs.
Your verbiage is different than what I see for Camera RAW Preferences in ACR
5.4 on Windows, so maybe you need to update to the latest ACR or maybe Mac
and PC versions of ACR are different.
In my CS4 Extended (11.0.1) / Edit / Preferences / Camera RAW preferences
for ACR 5.4, down at the bottom, you can set JPG and TIFF Handling - JPEG to
Disable JPEG Support instead of Automatically open JPEGs with Settings to
make it ignore the settings in JPEG and/or TIFF files.

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

Can't open Camera Raw from Bridge CS3

Need Help with the following issue. Until recently I was able to open & edit camera raw files in Bridge CS3. Tried to update Bridge from Adobe website and all of a sudden the "open in camera raw" option under File is greyed out. Also right-clicking the raw (CR2) file does not allow me to open the file in camera raw and I can't view the files as thumbnails any longer. When I double click the file Photoshop opens and subsequently camera raw. I have really lost the convenience of opening the file in Bridge and I'm afraid my workflow will suffer. Any help would be appreciated. I am running Windows 7. Thanks.

I am having this exact same problem and just upgraded to Windows 7...many people are saying to update the Plug In for Camera Raw to 4.6, but that is not working for me to see it in Bridge or Camera Raw.

Opening jpegs in Camera Raw 4.1?

I just received some jpegs from Getty and I decided to see what they looked like when I opened them using ACR as opposed to just opening them in PSCS3. What I found was that with the default settings the files from ACR had less saturation? The jpegs had no profile embedded, so when I opened the jpeg in PS, I assigned Adobe RGB (1998), which is what was used in ACR. I am just trying to figure out what is the benefit of opening up a jpeg in ACR?

Although recovering highlight and shadow detail will not be as dramatic when working with JPEGs in Camera Raw, I find it very useful to use the different controls to make adjustments to my images. I have also found that I have made a dramatic change in the amount of time it takes me to process a batch of images. I now routinely load groups of JPEG images into camera raw, make adjustments and synchronize all images wherever possible. It has made photo editing seem almost effortless compared to what I was doing before. I now find that I can do most of my editing in Camera Raw without ever having to open the images in Photoshop.
In many instances, I find that I can simply use the Image Processor to open my images and prepare them so that I can send them to a local lab for processing. That is one area where I find Photoshop/Bridge very useful. The only problem I'm having with Camera Raw is that I have not yet figured out how to use the redeye tool. So in my last batch of pictures of my little granddaughter, the only editing I did in Photoshop was to use the redeye tool on a couple of the pictures. Camera Raw pretty much did everything else for me.

In Bridge, can't open jpeg in camera raw

I have CS3 installed on several computers. On one of them, apparently Bridge and/or Raw never updated to the ability to open a jpeg in Raw. I can do this on the other computers. When I suggest running updates, it says none are needed. I'm confused.
Mike

Jim,
Actually I'd only discovered this feature recently as Bridge was not program of choice - my 7 yr. old system didn't have resources to handle PS and Bridge well simultaneously, having only 512 MB RAM. Was lucky to run Photoshop alone, s_l_o_w_l_y on a P4. This all changed with 4GB RAM and a dual core. What a relief.
Old system dubbed 'Frankenstein' sits networked in pasture in case of need for XP dependent programs or external bkups which no longer run in Vista without wiping data and reformatting. Fortunately won't need them to thanks to networking the two. Only thing not supported by Camera RAW is .bmp which I'll convert. Files from scans years ago of old photos before understanding formats. Live n' learn.
Much of the time I use Lightroom in lieu of Bridge, but there are times it comes in handy for quick access. Now that Lightroom 2 works interactively with Photoshop it's made this less necessary, but still have uses for both.
John~
You are indeed fortunate Vista is your friend. Must have plenty of RAM to run 64 bit. I on the other hand run 32 and intend to downgrade next fresh install so previous peripheral investments work again. Did not play nicely and Microsoft failed to support their own products, deserving a hall of shame award IMO. Still waiting for MS's next OS, as functional and non functional skip generations with that company.
Close friend also loves Vista, but couldn't help noticing he runs an XP machine on the side like myself.... hehe just in case for specific needs. I'm sure he wouldn't mind my saying we are both happy for you though. ;^D Whatever works. Each person has different needs as always.
