RAW files open directly into Photoshop

Odd issue here: when launching RAW files they open directly into Photoshop. Either Camera Raw gets bypassed or it just processes them on the fly.
This happens after a bit of usage, re-launching Photoshop solves the problem for the next few files.
This happens if I launch the RAW files from the Finder, Bridge or Photomechanic. Only the right-click on my mouse in Bridge will show the option of opening images in Camera Raw.
This is driving us nuts here. Happens on 4 work stations.
RAW files are mostly CR2's. Mac OS 10.4.10

Are you using PhotoKit or PhotoKit Sharpener? If so, this is a known issue with the previous builds...go to the CS3 Beta page and redownload the current builds.

If you AREN'T usinf PhotoKit or Sharpener, try resetting your Bridge preferences and purging the cache.

Problems with Quality of Raw file when pulled into Photoshop

I use Photoshop CS3 with ACR plugin version 4.6.0.30 installed. When I pull my RAW files into it, I seem to lose a lot of information. For example I took a picture of my black dog. I set the camera (Canon 40d) to save the file in both RAW and high res JPG. When I pull both files directly into photoshop the JPG has more detail information in the highlights and shadows than the RAW file does. This should be the reverse. To see if the problem was in the file or in the process of pulling it into photoshop I also pulled it in through Lightroom. Then I used Zoom Browser (software that came with my camera). Zoom Browser forced me to convert to a TIFF before importing it to Photoshop. I'll try attaching a file I made that shows the results of each.
My conclusion is that there is not a problem with the CR2 file, since the CR2 file converted to the TIFF has the most detail, but something is happening when I import it into photoshop. I just don't know what settings I should be looking at to fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's a link to the example:

Camera Raw 101: ACR has different baseline "Defaults" than the Canon software, therefore you will need to make your own adjustments–and perhaps save out a new ACR Default. Canon's software only has to worry about a small sampling of cameras. Camera Raw supports over 230 cameras' raw files. As a result Canon's software tends to match the in camera JPEG and the camera's LCD by default.
Camera Raw on the other hand is more concerned offering a normalized default rendering of the raw data. Rather than trying to force a certain "look" (generally higher in contrast and more saturated) ACR will show the raw data a bit flatter and less saturated.
Fact is, Camera Raw has a huge number of controls for the express purpose of allowing the user to maintain total control over the rendering of the raw data...what you need to do is learn how to use all the sliders....

Why can't I open raw files from 5diii into photoshop CS4?

My second shooter has the 5Diii, and I am having trouble opening her raw files into my bridge and photoshop (CS4). I am using a 5Dii. The files are named differently and I can't preview any of her files in Bridge and Photoshop will not load them. ?

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The 5D Mark III was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 (for CS5) and 7.1 (for CS6). ACR 6.7 is not compatible with CS4. CS4 is simply too old.
The 5D Mark II has been supported since ACR 5.2 which is compatible with CS4.
Your choices for the 5D Mark III:

CS6, how do I open files in Bridge directly into Photoshop? [was: Stan Spur]

CS6, how do I open files in Bridge directly into Photoshop. The default is File Viewer or there is an option to open in Adobe RAW.

Look at the down pointing arrow to the right of Photoshop CC in the list. Clicking on it shows a list of programs to select from.
Windows OS level or "in Windows" as opposed to "in Bridge".

Shortcut to open RAW image directly into Photoshop

Isn't there a keyboard/mouse shortcut that will allow someone to open a RAW image from within Lightroom directly into Photoshop...and in the process, bypass the 'Edit Type Options' dialog (i.e. Edit Original; Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments; Edit Copy)??
I could have sworn that I had read somewhere in Martin Evening's Lightroom for Photographers 1.1 addendum that there was a way to do this (I recall it was something along the lines of holding down the option/alt key while choosing 'Edit in Photoshop from the contextual menu, or maybe it was a direct hotkey that could be entered simply by selecting the image and pressing the defined hotkey) - or maybe I am crazy and I am totally making this up :O
Anyone know what the magic password is for this?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

Wow!
Michael D Sullivan...Part of me really wants to strangle you right now...but, I will resist, as I am not the type to flame people on forums/chat groups...those people are lame...
Nonetheless, you are completely missing my point...STILL!!
You had mentioned:
>The only way to open a RAW file in Photoshop directly is through Camera Raw.
Really? Come on dude...You don't think I knew that...my grandmother who has never used Photoshop in her life knows that much...Try to extrapolate meaning from someone's post prior to writing back with a ridiculous response like that...
Then you went on to say:
>It's that or convert it to a TIFF/PSD file and edit in Photoshop.
Yahtzee! Someone give this guy a cigar! (i.e. Yes Michael, this is what I meant)...Let's review my response to the initial (legitimate) confusion about the post I'd started this thread with...shall we?
I responded to the intial confusion (Posts #2, #3) about my original post (Post #1) by saying:
>I would like to have a way in which, using a keyboard/mouse shortcut of some sort, I could open a RAW file
WITH THE LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS APPLIED, directly into Photoshop, thereby bypassing the 'Edit with Photoshop CS3' options window all-together (and in the process of opening this RAW file, obviously Lightroom would convert the RAW image into a TIFF file...)
I am sorry Michael, but I don't think I can dumb this down any further...I even went so far as to state:
>"(and in the process of opening this RAW file, obviously Lightroom would convert the RAW image into a TIFF file...)".
I hope you were in a bad mood and just felt like being a d&#k when you responded to that post with:
>"Read my post, #2. There's no copy involved. The only way to open a RAW file in Photoshop directly is through Camera Raw."
Do you honestly think I didn't understand that? Do you still honestly not get what I am talking about?
Let me give you a visual...
Have a look at this screenshot
Then view this one
Have we reached Nirvana yet? Do we feel enlightened? Have we gained any more clarity on the situation yet?
If not, then you're wasting my time!
If so...well...there's not going to be an if so, is there Michael? I figure that the chances of you responding to this post with anything meaningful is unlikely at best...
Oh well...Have a nice day!

With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have camera raw 2.4

With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have"camera raw 2.4" selected in LR and the Plug-in for CS is Camera Raw.8BI.
Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried a different DNG converter? Adobe released Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 in March of this year. Maybe, if it supports your camera, this version will create a more compatible file.

Why JPEG - TIFF files in Bridge won´t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014?

Since a couple of weeks ago, whenever I click a jpeg or tiff file in Bridge (last reinstalled in 17/08/14) it won’t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014, but in Windows photo viewer. Am I doing something wrong or is it Bridge’s fault?

Thank you for your help. I tried this, but, at least in Windows OS if I do it, every time I'm within any window, a JPEG or TIFF file will open directly in Photoshop, not Windows Viewer. I contacted Adobe support and they sugested me to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop and Bridge. It took me some time, but the problem was solved. I suspect that my issue began the moment I uninstalled Photoshop CC, which was active at the same time with Photoshop CC 2014. So, if you have both, try to live with them or uninstall both apps and reinstall only CC 2014.

WIA import direct into Photoshop *NO FILE CREATED*

This is driving me nuts and I cannot seem to find anything regarding it. I'd use TWAIN happily, but my scanner doesn't seem to have a 64-bit twain driver. So I'm stuck with WIA. But, the thing that drives me crazy is that WIA always creates the file with an arbitrary name and format which I always end up having to delete later. I much preferred the old TWAIN method that just scanned it directly to Photoshop without any file made until you saved it from Photoshop. So, this may actually be more of a Windows M$ question than Photoshop, but I'm giving it a shot here.
Is there anyway to scan directly into Photoshop CS4 64-bit without WIA creating a file at all?

There are no 64 bit TWAIN drivers on Windows.
I think the WIA interface from Microsoft always creates an intermediary file.

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

Canon 7d mark II raw files open error

Photoshop elements 12 will not open the canon 7d mark II raw files, from what I read elements are not going to upgrade there camera profiles anymore, so anything new your just out of luck? The support people have no clue.

Faq:
FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
more specifically:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
in which you find that your camera requires the ACR 8.7 version
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
in which you see that PSE12 can't, and that PS13 can with an update.
So what solution, since Adobe does not upgrade older versions? It's the free Adobe DNGconverter:
Use the latest version of the free DNG Converter (for Macintosh or Windows)
You can convert your files to the universaly compatible DNG format (the files will work with any version of the Camera Raw plug-in). See In depth : Digital Negative (DNG) for more information.
This standalone utility lets you batch convert whole folders of raw files to the DNG raw format that your PSE12 can read.

Raw files open like a jpeg sometimes

Hi!
I am using a Nikon D70. Most of the time, my NEF files open perfectly in Photoshop CS2, with all the toolbar options.
Other times, with the exact same settings on my camera, the files will open with appearance like a small JPEG, but it still is a NEF. No RAW options or toolbar in sight, just the regular photoshop toolbar.
I tried downloading a raw plug-in, but it still happens. The NEF files are the same size, one will work and one will not.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Quick fix:
Raw images didn't open properly from iPhoto, but dragging them off my Nikon usb icon works fine. Yay!
