Damien Symonds Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 No, but it might mean you have to roll back one version of Photoshop, and stay there. Which version are you running at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Smith Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Camera RAW 16.11, Photoshop 25.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Right. If this problem persists, you might need to roll back to Photoshop 24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Smith Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Ok, gonna lose my mind. I rolled back to PS 24. Now when I try to open a file in Bridge, it's opening in Snip-it instead of Camera Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 From Bridge there are two ways to open a raw file. One is Ctrl O, the other is Ctrl R. Have you tried both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Smith Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 I figured it out. I had to go to "open with >browse>adobe>photoshop2023>photoshop". Now I'm back to being able to double click and it will open in ACR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Yep, Damien is right. No new Photoshop for you! The latest version does not like your video card and/or its drivers. Stay on PS CC 23, and start saving for a new laptop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 @Janice Smith - For your reading pleasure on the "why" I'm recommending to start saving. You can no longer blindly upgrade PS CC as Adobe is adding more-and-more AI Crap and depending on a beefy video card in order to function. You must purchase a laptop that you need and not one you can afford. Those are two completely two different things. I recommend at least saving up $2500 or more.

Janice Smith Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Thanks for the information! I’ll read the article. Is there a reason as to why you’re recommending a laptop and not a desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 You have that backwards... I HATE-HATE-HATE LAPTOPS BEING USED FOR PHOTO EDITING!!! But people have a love-affair with laptops, and wouldn't stop bugging me about it. They can't be chained to a desk! They must be free!! They need to edit in the Living Room, the Dining Room, the Kitchen, with crappy ambient/florescent light and all, because they "...need to keep an eye on their kiddos." They NEED to edit by the Pool, and edit in the Car/Mini Van, while sitting in the passenger seat, headed to vacation/holiday. They have Fall Minis to edit!! Spring Minis!! Minis! Minis! Minis!! Senior Sessions!! Newborns!! Family Sessions!!! WEDDINGS THAT BRIDES ARE BUGGING THEM ABOUT!!! (Yes, the editing by the Pool & in the Car were actual statements/requests by former members.) People don't edit. They run Actions and puke all over their photos. My wife can now spot White Balance issues with images that she sees, due to me, and she's an Accountant! "What's a good laptop for photo editing? I need a laptop. I want a laptop! I hate a desktop, and want a laptop. I want to buy a Laptop..." BAH! HUMBUG!! So no, I'm sorry you misunderstood. I only recommend laptops for photo editing because I'm tired of fighting. People have worn me down, and I just don't care anymore. I want people to edit in a color controlled environment, a room without windows with a neutral paint color on the walls. Editing on a 27" IPS Matte / Non-Glossy Screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 that's easy to Calibrate. With a Desktop Computer that's powerful enough to handle all the AI Bullshit that Adobe is adding to keep people hooked on the Subscription Software Model. Otherwise, Photoshop CC isn't THAT much different than CS6. Essentially, the equivalent to a Dark Room in yesterday's era. Edit: I thought you were on a Laptop, not a Desktop. My Bad.
