It should be okay.

The newest update has been a pain for some people (me included). I'd only suggest updating to the latest if your computer is very new and powerful.

For a jpeg, just open it in Photoshop first, then go to Filter>Camera Raw

Can you explain why you want to open JPEGs in camera raw? Hell, why do you have JPEGs at all?

This is absolutely the problem.

This is completely correct. You must ALWAYS open a raw file into Camera Raw first. PLEASE don't wait any longer to take the Raw Class

You definitely don't want that. You need to have it set to the default "Automatically open JPEGs with Settings".

I can't remember if you told me, are all your programs completely up to date?

Okay, and when you double-click on that raw file, what happens? Just ... nothing?

Of course it's greyed out when you don't have a raw file selected. Are you saying that even when you have a raw file selected, THEN it's greyed out?

May I see a screenshot of this?

The watermark has to be partially over the most important part of the photo, if it's for security. However, in this day of AI that's pretty pointless, I'm afraid.

Well, neither of the photos you showed me are in any way prevented from image theft. That logo could be cropped or edited out in a second.

For what purpose are you adding a logo? Is it simply to advertise yourself, or is it also to prevent image theft?
