Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.This appears when the open in camera raw disc is clicked in bridge. any solutions??

    Bridge is free to download and use. Adobe Camera RAW isn't free. You need a valid version of Photoshop to use ACR through Bridge.

    Simple there are 3 qualifying programs. Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and possibly Lightroom. But ACR is built into, inside, LR so no real need for Bridge or the PS ACR plugin.

    There are several long threads on this subject you can access if my comments do not help.

    1.  Launch Bridge from all programs that contain Bridge, like Photoshop, InDesign, etc..

    2.  Search for a trial you had in the past that is now exprired.  When found uninstall.

    Hi Curt

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    As suggested I deleted all trial instalations and launched all programs that contain bridge but the issue remains. I also uninstalled then reinstalled all the adobe products and interetingly the issue was resolved but later returned. This issue exists on my Power Mac and my laptop. One thing that I presume is unusual is that occationally when I quit a programme then later reopen I am asked to licence the sotware.

    Do you have any other potential solutions ?

      You may still have a trial somewhere?

      THe fact that it returned after reinstall is troubling.  You might have to uninstall, run the script cleaner, and reinstall.

      Hi. This forum is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop.  I'm moving your question to the Bridge forum for specialized attention to your situation.
