What makes a jpeg open in ACR?

Working at a print lab we receive files from all kinds of sources.  Some of the jpegs that we get seem to automatically open in ACR, some go straight into Ps when double clicked (PC).  Does anybody know what makes an image open ACR?  Even if I have the "prefer ACR" turned off in Ps, the file continues to open in ACR.  The reason this is a problem is because the setting that the customer is making in ACR is not being saved/applied to the jpeg file.  Customer submitted file, prints were too dark, customer increased brightness +20 in ACR and resubmitted the jpegs.  But when we print they look just like the first batch.  When I double click the file, it opens in ACR and I can see the +20 brightness but when printed its not there!  Does anybody have any idea what could be happening?  Is it the manner that the customer is saving the files out of ACR?  Could it just be a bad action?  Thanks for any feedback!

If a customer modifies a jpeg file within ACR and then clicks on either Done or Open, the changes are recorded as tags in the exif data of the jpeg file; no modifications are made to the jpeg image data.  If you want to honor the customer's ACR edits you will have to open the jpeg file in ACR and Photoshop and either print from within Photoshop or save the file out of Photoshop.  Photoshop is the only app that will honor the exif tag modifications.
Added by edit - The reason I reiterated the info is I predict this will happen more and more often as customers with a jpeg workflow "discover" how easy it is to change white balance, brightness, contrast, crop, etc. within ACR and never have to muck around in Photoshop.  It's very easy just to click on "Done" when they're through editing, rather than go to the pain of saving it out as a new file.  And Adobe hasn't done a wonderful job of explaining all the consequences, IMO.

  • How to have jpegs open in ACR by default?

    Hello
    I'm using CS5 on a Mac and the latest Adobe Camera Raw.  JPEGS used to open in Camera Raw by default.  Suddenly they don't and I would love to restore that.  Any ideas please!  Thanks!

    Hi,
    You should be able to set that in either bridge, photoshop or the camera raw dialog under camera raw preferences
    at the bottom of the dialog under Jpeg and Tiff Handling.

  • How to disable what makes Foxfire automatically open

    When ever I click on an internet item, Foxfire opens. I want to use Safari and do not want Foxfire to open automatically!

    You can bring up Safari and anything done within stays within Safari.
    When you have another application call for web file your default browser will be used. You can only have one default browser.
    To make Safari your default browser you will have to do that from within Safari. Use help there and search for "default browser" or you should be able to find it yourself:
    :Gear wheel > Preferences > Default browser > (choose Safari in the drop down)
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
    :especially if you want to make Firefox your default browser once more

  • What makes a file open automatically after download? I'm trying to stop it. I don't know whether Firefox or Sumatra controls this.

    When I downloaded a .pdf file, it opens automatically after download. I want to put it back to where I have to click on it in the download window in order to open it.
    This happens with every .pdf file I download.
    I am using Sumatra 1.5.1 to view pdf files.

    Change the '''Action''' for that file type.

  • Opening JPEG images in ACR

    I read in a library book that I can work with JPEG images  in ACR by going to file >Open as selecting image and choosing the camera raw option. However the selected image appears in the main editing space, not in camera raw. I`m using elements 10 with windows XP. Can anyone tell me where I`m going wrong?

    What's your screen vertical resolution ?
    On some notebooks, it seems it is inferior to the required minimum vertical resolution for the camera raw dialog to appear (I am not sure, something like 800 pixels). Then the automatically converted raw may be opened in the normal editor.
    Don't trust me too much for that, that's something I have never tested myself.

  • When I click to make Firefox my browser, a window comes up for me to choose what to use to open a long list of programs for which I have no clue.

    I think about 15 programs are on that list, including calculator asking me to name the program to use to open it. I don't know what to use to open any program.

  • Why are jpegs opening in preview?

    I have my file type association set to CS5, yet suddenly jpegs are opening from Bridge into preview. Anyone know why?

    For last few years I had them open in preview from finder, but in Photoshop
    from Bridge. Was I just lucky and my luck ran out?
    Like Nini I also can't imagine why you should use Apple Preview. You can
    view them perfectly in Bridge self when making a custom workspace with big
    preview panel. And if you want to alter the jpeg files preview would
    probably the last option to do so, especially having Photoshop on your
    system ????
    But likely you had altered your camera raw preferences in setting jpeg and
    tiff files to always open in PS instead of the default setting only jpeg
    with altered ACR settings.
    When you have set preview as default opening app for jpeg using the info
    panel in the finder and the camera raw setting to always open in PS you
    probably have back what you want, but why using it that way is still unclear
    to me

  • Some Tiff files will open in ACR, some not

    Hello everyone,
    I have tried and read on several posts before posting here to get the solution but nothing foudn till now.
    I have LR 5.2 and PS CS6.
    RAW files are being managed, worked and converted into Tiff (uncompressed, ProPhoto RGB profile, 350dpi) from Lightroom and then imported in CS6 for further adjusted and layer works, etc..
    Some files will be opened via ACR before being opened by CS6 and then some days before, they will just open directly into CS6.
    I have checked some settings in LR like " Include Develop Settings in metadata inside JPEG...." which is UNCHECKED/DISABLED and "Automatically write changes in XMP" is CHECKED/ENABLED.
    What could be doing this or what could i have messed somewhere?
    your help and support well appreciated.

    Hello everyone,
    Apologize for taking so long to revert back but i was out of the country and busy with the end of year work load.
    I will describe my workflow for you to get a better idea of the issue am having.
    - I take files (Canon CR2. RAW files) from the memory card (Canon 500D, Canon 70D) then copy to my computer / HDD
    - Import these same files withing lightroom for selection/rating/etc.. at this stage the .xmp files have already been written beside the .CR2 files as i have a preset for lens correction on import.
    - I will then work on the RAW files inside LR 5 for minor adjustments, and then export them in TIFF format.
    - I then open PS CS6 then open the TIFF file.
    - Some files will open directly in PS while others may open via the ACR window before then i will click on open image to get it in PS.
    - I do my adjustments and advanced editing in PS then save the files in same format.
    - LR will see the adjustments done outside of LR and i will import the one from disk (to get the changes i made from PS)
    This is my usual workflow and i would like to know if LR and PS use the same .xmp files to store the changes done?
    Why some files which get the same treatment inside LR opens without getting through ACR window and some will?
    Do you need more info? Please let me know and thank you in advance for the support.

  • Opening into ACR from Lightroom

    I have downloaded the recent ACR 7 plguin for CS6.  From Bridge I can open my faw files and the automatically open into ACR before photoshop.  But can I do this from Lightroom?  I know I can right click, get a drop down menu, and choose edit in photoshop, but at this point I would assume it would open up the ACR editor, but doesn't happen.  what am I missing?

    As far as raw conversion is concerned, you accomplish nothing by going from Lightroom to ACR because the controls are the same.  Photoshop uses ACR to interpret the Lightroom adjustments.  But, theoretically, that is all ACR is needed for in the transition from Lightroom to Photoshop.  However, there is an option in Lightroom that allows you to open an image as a smart object.  Or, once in Photoshop, you can convert an image to a smart object.  Then, from Photoshop, you can open the image in ACR to make further adjustments if necessary.

  • How can I make my PDF open to "Fit One Full Page to Window" by default regardless of who is opening it?

    Hi, everyone. I am currently creating PDFs that have different page sizes (2 pages at 8.5" x 11" and other pages that range from 40"w x 80"h to 150"w x 150"h). I'm trying to package some artwork templates and artwork guidelines together for my clients to make it easier for them to access this information.
    The current issue I am running into is that I cannot figure out how to make these PDFs open with a default view of "Fit One Full Page to Window". I know how to set the default on my Acrobat Reader but I need it to default to this view when someone else opens it on their computer to view. (PDF currently opens the first page correctly but the rest of the pages are not previewing to fit page based on their page size. The only thing that reacts the way I want these documents to be viewed is the "Fit One Full Page In Window" option but I need to know how to default the PDF to view this way every time.)
    Any help is appreciated! I'm under a deadline so the sooner I can resolve this the better!
    Thanks in advance!
    Jenny

    There is an option for the Initial View that is "Magnification:" "Fit Page".  And this works for the initial page when the PDF is opened and it does not matter what the page size it, Acrobat/Reader will automatically fill the screen with the page. If you want the zoom type to change with each page then you need  add a page open script to each page to set the pages zoom type to "zoomtype.fitP"
    this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;

  • How do you make an application open on a specific monitor?

    How do you make an application open on a specific monitor? I have two monitors, and I was able to get Firefox to open on the secondary display always by resizing it with the option or command key [I forget which one] and then quitting it. Now everytime I start it, it opens on the second monitor.
    However, when I try to do the same with QuickTime [when playing videos], it always opens on the primary display no matter what I do with it. How do I make it always open on the secondary display?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no, Spaces is not what I want. I have two physical monitors, and simply want an application to always open on one monitor, not be able to switch back and forth between different desktops.

  • How do i make a jpeg flag look likes its waving

    i have a jpeg of a specific flag that i am trying to make it a loop. whats does it take to make the jpeg look like its waving in the wind? The only thing i have successfully done is put a ripple dissolve across the whole thing and it looks like... well, i put a ripple effect on the flag. any advice?

    Library > Filters > Distortion Filters > Wave is the one you want if working in Motion. From the User manual:
    Wave
    Distorts the object to simulate waves oscillating across it. The wave filter is not automatically animated, but you can animate the Offset parameter to animate the effect of waves causing the image to undulate.
    Parameters in the Inspector
    Amplitude: Sets the amplitude of the waves. Values range from 0 to 100.
    Wavelength: Sets the length of the waves. Values range from 1 to 100.
    Offset: Sets the offset of the wave, with values ranging from –500 to 500.
    Vertical: Toggles whether the waves run vertically or horizontally.
    Repeat Edges: Toggles whether or not the edges of the object are repeated.
    Dashboard controls
    The Dashboard contains the Amplitude, Wavelength, Offset, and Vertical controls.

  • TIFF thumbnails are a logo & won't open in ACR except from PS

    Using Bridge 2.1.0.100, ACR 4.4, Photoshop CS3 10.0.1, Win XP Pro SP3
    I have two problems with TIFF files;
    1. They show as a logo instead of a thumbnail in Bridge unless I change their name (NOT the file extension, just any other part of the name)
    2. They will not open in ACR from Bridge, but will if I "Open as..." in Photoshop.
    Clearing the cache doesn't help, neither did uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge and Photoshop.
    In Bridge Preferences>Thumbnails I have Prefer ACR for jpg and tiff checked. When I open a jpg file it opens in ACR (there is no right click option listing ACR)
    What to do?
    Thanks!

    It is very urgent issue.
    Can any body help in this. Valuable answers will be rewarded.

    Hi Sathis,
    Same proble i was faced recently.
    The problem was occured because of error opening an RFC connection.
    you can see by yourself in the following way.
    Goto SM 59.
    Select your appropriate RFC destionation say if destination is assigned  'TCP/IP connection' or 'R/3 Connection', under that select ur destination and press 'TEST <b>CONNECTION'</b> if shows green mark there is no error in connection or it indicates with red there is error in RFC destination connection.
    Suppose if error is occured there is no basic communication setting done between these cleints, if it is case you would be go and talk to BASIS guy and he will make provides destination.
    if any furthore doubts feel free to mail me to [email protected] or reach me 09886869625
