Can I persuade CS3 to....

....open jpegs and tiffs on an individual basis, from Bridge, into ACR, rather than have things set so they all do?

Right click and choose "open in camera raw"

Just individually select the photos . Do you have ACR set to handle JPEGs and TIFFs?

 

If not, with Bridge 2.x open choose Camera Raw Preferences and check the boxes in the JPEG and TIFF Handling pane.

Hi Michael - 'open in camera' raw isn't there as an option by right clicking. That option is there under 'File' but is greyed out.

 

Next to that it says use ctrl+r, but that did nothing.

 

Hi Ellis - That does work, but thereafter all jpegs and tiffs launch in acr. But that was a great video. Towards the end it explains how to bypass raw, but that only works with raw files which have already been through ACR.

 

I think it must be something to do with my using ACR 4.5 - the latest beta version which now opens Olympus E520 ORFs.

 

Thanks anyway.

Raw files can"t open natively in Photoshop, they must be converted through ACR.

 

If your system is set to open RAW and Jpeg in ACR, you can open jpeg files directly in Photoshop by holding down the shift key and double

clicking on the file in Bridge.
