Question

After automatic Creative Cloud updates this weekend I can not open Camera Raw from Adobe Bridge. I can open Camera Raw from Photoshop. I have shut everything down opened Photoshop and Lightroom then opened Bridge and still the same thing. I tried reloading Adobe Bridge 14.0.0102 and got the same error. I even uploaded an older version and recieved the same error code as in the title. What next? This reall screws up my workflow and Re installing Photoshop would be a mess trying to get all my plugins back.

    Hi, @paulr80479100, you say you cannot open ACR from Bridge; exactly what happens? Nothing?

     

    You state that an error message pops up. What does the warning say?

     

    What kind of images are not opening from Bridge? Raw images? TIF images? JPG images?

     

    Also, what is your OS (and what release)? This is so I can focus my suggestion for you.

      The Error code is (Camera Raw editing requires a qualifying product has been licensed) when opening Raw from Adobe Bridge). I can open Raw from Photoshop but not Bridge. Which means I can no longer batch groups of photos in Raw. I need this function when working for media for quick turnarounds with sports events.

      Hi @paulr80479100 I had also asked for your OS (and which one) but in the meantime, with Bridge open, press the Option/Alt key, and where your preferences are, you'll see "Camera Raw Preferences." Select that. (You can take your finger off the Option/Alt key now)

       

      A window should pop up asking if you want to rebuild Adobe Camera Raw's Preference. Click Yes.

       

      Does that fix the problem?
