Opening RAW in Bridge CS3

In Bridge CS3 Preferences in the General Tab i have ticked( Double click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge).but if i double click a raw file in Bridge cs3 it opens in Photoshop.How do i get it to open in Bridge.Thank You.Longlegs

Just a thought: can you check the following places for Camera Raw.8bi ...
Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/File Format
There should be only one copy in the first folder, and none in the second, nor anywhere else in the CS3 Plug-Ins trees.
Also, if possible, it might be worth updating to the latest ACR for CS3, which I think is 4.6.
Also, you should check RW2 is listed in Bridge preferences, under the file associations tab. It should be associated with Photoshop CS3.

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?

Can't open RAW files in CS3 or Bridge

I am using PowerMac G4 running OS 10.4.10, one gig RAM, with an Nvidia Geforce 4 MX graphics card. Adobe Updated notified me the new Camera RAW plugin was available so I said yes to install it. The installer hung half way through and I had to force quit it. Since then I can't open RAW (Nikon NEF) files in Bridge or CS3. I get generic raw file thumbnails in Bridge and the error "Could Not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type" when trying to open one into ACR from Bridge or Photoshop. I tried d'loading the plug-in and manually putting it in the proper folder, still no good. I have reinstalled the program from the install disk, purged the main and folder cache in Bridge, deleted the PS preferences (command+alt+ shift when opening PS), repaired OS permissions, and the like, all to no avail. Photoshop or Bridge just don't see the plug-in when opening NEF files, though it does show in the "Bout P, which is in the proper place- root/library/application support/adobe/plug-ins/CS3/file formats/camera RAW Plugin
How can I fix it?

Greetings! I am having the same problem.
I'm a graphic designer (not a photographer), working on Mac 10.4.11, CS3 (ps is 10.0.1, bridge is 2.1.1.9) with the latest ACR plug-in (4.3.1) and the latest DNG Converter. Our photo library is on a server, accessed by multiple computers.
We can preview .CR2 in Bridge, open .CR2 in PS.
6However, we cannot preview or open .CRW files. We have tested on three machines, all with the same problem. In the past (before CS3) we were able to open and process these files.
Tried opening .CR2 files in CS2 and couldn't. Couldn't open them with DNG Converter or Graphix Converter.
Have tried all the standards fixes:
1. Correctly updated the most recent Camera Raw plug-in, following Adobes very explicit instructions as to where the plug-in goes (checked it three times).
2. Removed a copy of the Camera Raw plugin from a secondary folder, hoping that might have caused conflict.
3. Reset my preferences in Photoshop and Bridge to default.
4. Purged the cache in Bridge (via TOOLS, not in preferences) and refreshed AND told Bridge to build new thumbnails/caches
5. Closed/reopened Bridge.
6. Repaired permissions
7. Restarted my computer
We are going to try to find a disc with original RAW photos that have never been placed on the server to see if it's a server issue. However I'm thinking that's not the problem.
Any ideas as to why we can no longer open these CRW files?
I have two problems I need to solve:
1. For future photoshoots: does turning OFF sRAW setting help prevent this problem?
2. Is there anyway to convert the .CR2 files without using Photoshop CS3/2 or DNG Converter? We're hoping to try to salvage the photos we have.
I did see Elev Man's comment about the problem being corrupt files...disk failure/problem fixed with Disk Warrior. I'll also check that out.
Thanks!

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.

Unable to Open Images in Bridge CS3 and Continuing Icon issues!

Re: Icon issues in Bridge CS3 and also with Photo Downloader that have never been there before.
So, these are the issues. Just one of the folders that previously would show thumbnails now only shows DNG icons, and none will open in Photoshop to let me work on previous image. Issue #2 - can't download images with Photo Downloaders - both my wife's Canon G9 only shows CR2 icons, and my Nikon D300 only shows NEF icons - neither of these issues had appeared before or been an issue. Third issue. None of my Bridge folders - even those with regular thumbnail immages- will open now - get a message that says words to the effect of Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file. Computer is a Mac, with OS 10.5.8
I recently tried to make more room on HD, so must have taken some critical files/commands out by accident.
Thanks for your time and previous suggestions - still not working. I'm sure that in trying to correct things have made things even worse- as may be noticed by the two snapshots I've attached. The first is one from a library from my user section. The second library image is from my hard drive. Hopefully you and others aren't laughing or crying too much over what you see - redundantcy, etc! All of my energies have focused on taking photos, obviously none to proper setup/use of organizing things on my Mac. But after the laughing has stopped, any help will be tremendously appreciated - am most anxious to getting back to working with and saving images.
"user image"
Hard Drive image:
Thanks in advance

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

Acr opens raw in bridge but not in photoshop cs5

When opening a raw (RAF ) file in bridge everything works fine ,when I want to open the file, ps cs5 opens the file, no problem.
But when opening the same file in ps, acr comes up and when I click open image, I get the message " could not comlete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
When opening acr in bridge and then: open image, ps works fine.
I just upgraded my mobo ,memory and processor ( i7-2600k .8Mb). Still running windows xp 32bit with intel hd 3000 video ,dual monitor. Never had this problem before with less memory and pentium 4.
Very strange. Any ideas?

What type of RAW files are we talking about, NEF,CR2 or other?
Bridge is just a flle browser, and RAW files are opened and edited in Adobe Camera Raw. Do you just get a thumbnail, but it willl not open in ACR?
Does ACR work with other RAW images that have not been corrupted.
Do you have a backup (highly recommended) of these images somewhere? Should be on seperate physical drive or on a DVD.

Problem with opening raw image in CS3 extended

I just installed my CS3 Extened on my new Windows 8 Desktop and when I tried to open a Nikon raw image I get an error telling me it's the wrong type. How do I fix this ? It was working on my Windows 7 computer.

This just started when I installed the CS 3 Extended on my new Windows 8 computer. It only affects my ability to open Nikon D90 Raw files. Everything else (standard JPG) works fine. I also have NX Capture 2 from Nikon and it opens the RAW files fine. I also have Adobe elements 9 and it opens the same RAW files without any problems.
The same problem developed when I installed the CS 3 on my HP laptop last year. It still will not open raw files.
Thanks

Camera Raw in Bridge (CS3 for Mac) malfunctions

When processing DNG files in Bridge (CS3) neither Default nor Auto adjustments apply by default. And when choosing Auto the image becomes very dark. How can I correct this? Also where do I place newly downloaded Camera Raw Plugin? Does it need to be physically placed in both PS and Bridge?

Did you have also the solution for the first part?
I would prefer the default setting for a standard instead of the auto. Hit
auto might give you a hint in the direction you want but it is very
difficult to have this correctly for each file to my opinion.
But if you would like so you can make your own default camera setting. Make
the settings you want and then go to the menu under the little triangle
right next to basics in the ACR window. Inhere you will see an option to
save a new camera default. In the camera raw prefs (also reachable in
Bridge) you can choose to make those camera specific or even iso specific.
I found the answer to the second part of my question about installing the ACR
plugin

How to optimize file size when opening RAW in Bridge?

I seem to recall opening RAW files through Bridge and into Photoshop a couple of years ago and I was always given a choice of file size options. What has happened to these options? can someone please help me get the biggest file size out of a RAW (DNG)? thanks!

J Maloney wrote:
Sure. If you open a RAW file in camera raw, at the bottom of the camera raw window you adjust the settings. I'm sure this is equal to or better than opening at the native resolution and upsizing in PS.
According to the book*, upsizing in Photoshop is better and the best method is Bicubic Smoother.

Cannot open raw files in CS3

I went through the steps of downlaoding the plugin and replacing it, but I still cannot open the files. Any other suggestions? I am trying to open a Canon CR2 file.

If your Cannon is a recent model you will need to download ACR 8.7 with the DNG converter and create DNG files for your Cannon CR2 Raw file for CS3 can only use ACR version 4.6. ACR support for Cannon cameras

Error message when opening RAW from Bridge to CS2

After opening a RAW image in Bridge it will not then open in PS2. I get the following error message and nothing happens in CS2".
"There was a problem with the database and "P101,,,," was not updated correctly. This may effect searches"
I'm also unable to open any saved photo in CS2 either now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Trevor

After renew settings in preferences the basic set from PS is active. Go trough it and look around what you can use, explore it.
Most important is scratch disk setting, ammount of RAM and I find it useful to change the cursor setting to the last checkboxes.
Read the manual that came with your copy and or try one of the thousands tutorials that are available either free or for sale. There are very good DVD's that shows you the screen from the teacher on your own screen and so you can see what he or she does. Total Training is a good start but there are others.

Open raw file in cs3

how do i open a raw file in cs3

As Mr. Kelly already mentioned, Raw support is version specific. Refer to this:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Unless you want to take the detour with the free DNG converter, you should seriously consider upgrading or getting Creative Cloud.
