New computer with windows 12. (11)? the only way i can get into camera raw is to go to bridge and open in raw. I just updated raw and there is no open command in the block. If I click on a raw photo it will not open or offer raw. I have taken raw out 3 times and reinstalled.

Same problem with windows 10. In my case can't access camera raw from Bridge or PS. Both are at last version.

It can depend on the type of file you [OPEN in PHOTOSHOP]

Rendered RGB files (JPG, TIF, PSD, etc ) open directly to a Photoshop document window.

Raw files (NEF, CR3, RAF, etc) must open through Adobe Camera Raw before they open in Ps.

But you can only 'Open with Photoshop', not 'Open with ACR'!

There is a Preference in Photoshop that will force rendered files to open through ACR, if that is what you want.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.0, Photoshop 27.0, ACR 18.0, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0 .

If you want to open something other than JPEG/TIFFs (questionable why you'd do either) in Adobe Camera Raw with or without the preferences so set the 'trick' is opening them as if they were raw (which they are not of course) is by selecting Format menu as Camera Raw. TIFFs, JPEGs, even PNGs etc, open in ACR.

Do you mean Windows 11? There is no 12 until maybe 2024.

If i click on raw files they will not open. When I try to selection what program to open them with, Raw is not listed as an option. In my other computer when I click on the raw files they open in raw.
