Bridget Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Hi Damien, I can't seem to open files from Bridge to RAW. When I tried initially, the files were opening in Elements. I checked my Creative Cloud desktop and didn't seem to have Camera Raw, so I have installed it and it now shows up on my CC desktop. However now when I double click the photos I won't to open in Bridge, nothing at all opens.
Damien Symonds Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Those are jpeg files. Let's talk about raw files please.
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 Yes well I had a major whoopsie and at some point accidentally changed my camera settings to take JPEGs instead of RAW. And didn't notice for more than a year. All my RAW are off the internal HD and google told me I could open JPEGs in ACR so I tried to continue with the JPEGs. I can transfer some RAWs from by archive though... give me a minute.
Damien Symonds Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Okay, and if you select one of those raw files, then double click it, it opens in Camera Raw okay?
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 Nope, nothing happens. Well, a brief spinning blue wheel, then nothing.
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 I bought the three year license to Elements. Elements doesn't show up in CC desktop. Bridge does. And ACR does too, now that I have downloaded it.
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 (edited) Get "Camera Raw editing is not enabled" etc Same when I right click and "open in camera raw". Edited March 1 by Bridget
Damien Symonds Posted March 1 Posted March 1 No worries. And if you right-click on a photo, and choose "Open With" is Elements an option in there?
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 Yes. "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor 25.0 (default) comes up first, below that 'Browse', below that 'Change Associations'.
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 Nothing happens. Prior to downloaded ACR, double clicking would open in Elements.
Damien Symonds Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Right. Downloading ACR messed something up. You DEFINITELY didn't need to do that. Let's try something different. Go to Elements itself, choose File>Open, and navigate to a folder of raw files and open one. Does it open okay?
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 (edited) Specifically, Elements itself isn't opening. Edited March 1 by Bridget
Damien Symonds Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Can you do this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html
Bridget Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 (edited) I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Elements 2025. It is over 6 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 44.9GB free out of 118GB, and it runs a Radeon Vega Graphics graphics card. The last time I shut down was more than a week ago, because I'm an idiot. I rarely run a cleanup program. 😆 (I did very recently run a Glary Utilities clean up) Edited March 1 by Bridget
Bridget Posted March 2 Author Posted March 2 Yes. And Elements opens. Who would have guessed? Prompts me to install the ACR plug in which I am doing now.
