Opens Raw by Default

Hi all,
I have Bridge CS3 version 2.1.1.9. I want to open my JPG files so it opens using Photoshop CS3, by double clicking on the image.
But when I double click on the JPG or TIFF files, Camera RAW 4.5 opens automatically.
I have right clicked on the images and Photoshop CS3 is shown as default.
What am I doing wrong?
Thakyou

Check your bridge Preferences > general and make sure that "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" is not checked.

How can ACR 5.2 be set to open RAW files as 16 Bit as default?

When I open RAW files in ACR they always open as 8 Bit. Is there any way to set ACR so that RAW files always open as 16 Bit as default? How?
Lightroom 2.2/ PS CS4

In the middle/bottom area of the Camera Raw window is a 'hyper link' type of line showing some default info. Clicking on that link brings up the Workflow Options dialog box. The 'Depth' setting should be set to 16 Bits/Channel. Then press OK to accept the changes then press Done to close the ACR Window and save the changes.

Making Photoshop default application to open RAW images

Situation:
I had to reload Photoshop to resolve some problems.
Problem:
Now, when I highlight a RAW file and then right click to open it, Photoshop does not appear after I click <Open with>. Other options appear, but Photoshop does not.
Although:
I can click <Other>, and with a few more clicks, open in Photoshop. Also, when I click <Get info> for a RAW file and the info window opens, I am able to change the opening application for that particular file to Photoshop.
The bigger problem:
While in the Info window, I have attempted to change "Open With" to Photoshop as default for all files ending with the RAW extension, but it does not take. "Not applicable" appears in the application window after I click <Continue>, which is the final step in making a specific application the default application to open the file type in question. "Read and Write" permissions are in place.
What I'd like to do:
Make Photoshop appear as the Default Application to open RAW files when I right click on the RAW file.
Please help.
Thank you.

Quoted: Also, when I click <Get info> for a RAW file and the info window opens, I am able to change the opening application for that particular file to Photoshop.
When you have selected Photoshop there, then you have to press the button "Change All...". Now every RAW file will be opened in Photoshop.
If Photoshop has not been listed there you can go with the "Other..." option in the drop down menu and select Photoshop from the application folder.
Quoted: Make Photoshop appear as the Default Application to open RAW files when I right click on the RAW file.
You know you can also open file's just by clicking twice with the normal left mouse key? If you have set Photoshop as Default (like described above) then it will also open in Photoshop.
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem. (see button's above this message)

Why does Bridge open raw files (ndg) in Raw window even though the 'Open in Photoshop' option is...

I don't understand why in Bridge there are 2 choices, -1- Open raw and -2- Open in Photoshop and yet both choices give you the same result--The raw window opens with PS below it. After having worked on my raw NEF files I save it to dng. My thinking behind this, is that I alreay have done what was needed and would now like to start working on it within Photoshop. It seems that the only way to automatically open it directly within PS is if I save it as a tiff, psd or jpg. But since this is not what I want to do then why must I add extra steps as opposed to just opening it hwere I want. I mean the 2 choices are there, so why not do what it is being asked?

If I may step in in this discussion, I always use DNG but never have used ACR to achieve this result.
As Curt stated the changes made in ACR to a Raw file (or for that matter a DNG file) are undoable without problems.
My workflow (using Canon CR2 but that is not important, let's say a dSLR generated Raw File) is to use Photodownloader in Bridge (not perfect by far but still the best and easiest way for me).
I connect my CF card using a card reader and let Adobe Photodownloader do the work.
Inhere I use several options:
- convert the CR2 file to a DNG
- back up the original CR2 on a separate disk
- rename the DNG to yyyymmdd (shot date) and sequence number
- add a metadata template for copyright to all the DNG files.
Sorting out the keepers I open the DNG in ACR and either hit Open (for open directly in PS) or use save as Tiff or PSD depending on next step in development or simply hit Done to apply changes and leave it for later use.
The advantage of having both ACR in PS and Bridge is huge. The only difference between both is that by default PS has the Open Button selected and Bridge (open in Camera Raw) has the Done button selected, thats all.
But here is the good part, you can use both simultaneously! For example have PS in film strip mode with multiple files selected and when changes are ready hit Save as start the process but locks up PS itself. Switch to Bridge and use Open in Camera Raw and start with the next job while ACR PS is still running in the background
When I open a DNG in PS using ACR in either PS or Bridge I continue developing with actions and fine tune with layer mask, brush etc etc.
Sometimes use Save As for PSD with the layers still active (huge files) when needing to revisit or not quite ready. But mostly I use an action to flatten the files and save as PSD.
Both DNG and PSD are ending up in my archive, my clients receive whet they want, PSD, Tiff but mostly jpeg and resized.
When having the job finished and every once in a while I clear out the original CR2 files from Back up because in all the years I use DNG (at least 5 years) I never had to use the original CR2 instead of the DNG that is thoroughly backed up as is the original PSD.
But since disk space is cheap you can choose to keep them.
An other option is to include the original raw file in the DNG but I would not recommend that because the file size is getting almost twice as big.
The biggest plus side for me using DNG is that the xmp data is written directly to the file while original CR2 or NEF needs an xmp side car file next to it with this data.
However saving changes to metadata is taking a bit longer to a DNG then to an XMP side car file, depending on system resources and time this never been a real problem for me

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!

Re-opening RAW files

I am using CS5. I use Bridge to open raw files in Camera Raw, no problem there. But if I want to re-open a file to start over again from scratch the file opens with the previous editing applied. How can I get back to the origial, un-edited file?
Thanks

Or if you're already in Camera Raw, click the Camera Raw fly-out menu button, then choose Camera Raw Defaults.

Have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop..got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still now working. Need help, please.

I have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop...got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still not working...help please.

In any event, that camera was first supported by ACR version 7.4 which needs at least CS6 to run. Naturally, all later versions support it too.
Your choice is either to upgrade your Photoshop, or to look for, download, install, launch and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each folder containing your raw Canon files to convert them first to raw DNGs that you can open in CS5.
In no case does an Adobe application belong "on your desktop". The default install location should always be respected and left alone.

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Some options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

How to open Raw files from Canon 1100D and 650D in CS5?

I need assistance please. I have a Canon 1100D and 650D. On Photoshop CS5 it does not recognise the 2 Cameras Raw files. What is my course of action. Help will be highly appreciated

evjems, As per the below article, Canon EOS 1100D needs minimum Adobe Camera Raw(ACR) version 6.4 and Canon EOS 650D needs minimum ACR version 7.1
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
So, you should be able to open raw files of 1100D, if you upgrade your PS ( Help > Updates), but not of 650D as it needs PS CS6 and above.
Let me know in case you still have any doubts.
Hope that Helps!

How to Install Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera

I need someone to walk me through how to install a Plug-in for PS cs5 to open RAW (.NEF) file for Nikon D810 Camera.
I haven't used photoshop in ages and I got a new camera. I have been on the phone with Adobe (no help) and spent a couple of hours online trying to figure this out. I'm confused, frustrated and about to throw my computer out the window.
Also, I placed this in the "Photoshop for Beginners" since Photoshop CS5 doesn't appear anymore. I know CS5 is outdated but I spent hundreds of dollars on this program and you would think adobe would still honor its product.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
AJ

Odds are cs5 is too old. If you do a search on my the main Adobe website there is a list of compatible cameras for the last known update to camera raw for cs5.
Each version of Photoshop only gets so many updates for camera raw then it is necessary to upgrade Photoshop to get the next update for camera raw.
So you currently have 4 choices.
1 upgrade Photoshop
2 get Lightroom - latest version
3 get Photoshop elements -latest version
4 get dng converter - this will download the latest version an is the only option that is free.
The dng converter can be found by searching Adobe website.

Can't open RAW images in Photoshop

I purchased a new computer. It runs 64 bits. I have CS4. Since uploading it to my computer, I can not open RAW images. I have downloaded the most recent updates.
I have been using the 32 bit photoshop because I could not get my NIK filters to work in 64 bit. But I can't open any of my RAW images. I can't open them in either 32 or 64 bit.
I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw. I only know this because I can see it under "About filer.... Camera Raw". I cant find any camera raw filters in adobe/plug-ins in either version of photoshop. I have a huge photoshoot tomorrow. I NEED to open RAW images. HELP!! Regular Support is down for the next few days.

If you look at this list: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
You will see you need Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 or later.
As Chris says, update either maually from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4681
Or use the Updater from PS help.

Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.
Instead I get a window with a progress bar and the text "Reading Camera Raw Format".
The image then opens in the Photoshop Elements editor.
I have tested this with raw images both from Canon EOS 1000D and Samsung WB2000 cameras.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
I run Photoshop Elements on a HP netbook running Widows XP and with an Intel Atom N450 / 1.66 GHz processor, 2 GB ram and a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Unable to open RAW files after reinstalling Photoshop CS4

I recently did a system recovery to my computer due to downgrading to Windows 7; however, after I installed Design Premium back to my PC, I am not able to open RAW files in Photoshop. It prompted "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I tried to check for Photoshop updates but no updates are available. I tried re-installing Design Premium but the issue still persists.
My system configuration is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional x64 (Yet to install Service Pack 1, but I don't think that really matters)
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium (Photoshop Version 11.0)
Canon EOS 50D (Firmware Version 1.08)
Anyone may have a clue on how to fix that? Thanks a lot!
Screenshot as follows:

When you reinstalled CS4, you went back to the original release.
Now you must apply all the updates to Photoshop and to Adobe Camera Raw manually.
You cannot rely on the Adobe auto updater to tell you that you are up to date. That updater was broken for years and years, and that was and is certainly the case with CS4.
Adobe didn't get their updater act together until CS6.
You also have to update the ACR plug-in manually.
