PS CS3 - Cannot open jpegs in Camera Raw

I have Photoshop CS3 with Bridge and all the latest updates.

When I try to open a jpeg from Bridge into Camera Raw all I get is a greyed out "Open in Camera Raw".

Any solutions?

thanks

Hi Benny,
I am not sure it is reasonable to expect ACR to open non-raw files - even CS3 (which I do not have).

Good luck,
Ron

Hi Ron
Yes Bridge CS3 now allows jpegs and tiff files to be opened in ACR. One of the new features.
I have just found a way around the problem. It appears that I needed to purge both the cache for ACR as well as the cache for Bridge. This seemed to take a couple of goes but it now allows both file types to be opened in ACR. regards

Good to know - hopefully Adobe will get the cache thing worked out with a minor update. Thanks Benny.

Do you go into Browse, highlight a jpeg thumbnail and then go to file menu and FILE>OPEN IN CAMERA RAW

Just as a matter of curiosity have you been able to open ANY Jpeg this way? Like other cameras etc.

Try opening the Jpeg in PB and save as then try opening it into camera raw.

Not quite sure what you mean.
What is PB? Other cameras?

(should have been PS)

Try opening it in Photoshop and "save as" then have a go at opening it through ACR.

Not sure which camera you have but are all the jpegs the same that you can't open them or is it just from one particular camera?

If I take bracketed shots with my Nikon only the 0 shot will open in camera raw. the -1 and +1 are greyed out.

As you found out it was the cache. I've had this happen even in CS2 with RAW files - if you get too busy moving files to diferent folders the cache needs to be cleared before some thumbnails will be displayed.

So it's been a PITA since CS2 and still not fixed in CS3.

How Adobe can have their bread and butter app so effed up is just amazing to me.
