Open in camera raw no longer an option for tiff files in Bridge

Question

In Bridge I used to see "open in camera raw" as an option for tiff files and now this is no longer an option. It only shows for JPEG and RAW files now. I tried checking my file type associations and they are set for tiff the same as JPEGS and RAW but still won't open in Camera Raw. Can someone please help? I want to open my Tiff files in Camera Raw so I can use the "Enhance" feature.

"File Associations" should be set to "Photoshop" (Not ACR) ACR is not an 'App' that you can 'open' -it is a Plugin raw converter for Photoshop.

Set your Photoshop > Camera raw Preferences > File Handling > JPEG and TIFF Handling > TIFF: [Automatically open all supported TIFFs]-

Now you can 'OPEN IN PHOTOSHOP' a TIF file from Finder or File Explorer that will 'go through' Camera Raw.

And from Bridge you should see the [Open in Camera raw] option available.

Sorry if this is stating the obvious, but once you have this setup, you can also use CMD/CTRL + R as a keyboard shortcut to open the files into ACR (in addition to right-clicking).
