How to tell which version of camera raw I have? The only Google search I found answering this question refers to is 2 years old and seems to no longer apply. There is no File, Edit etc. menu on the new version of Camera Raw with (Photoshop/Bridge CS6). I do use Adobe Application Manager to do my updates telling me if a new version exists or not, nevertheless I would like to know.

Photoshop / Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw will show you how many there are and what version each is. There should only be one, but sometimes a manual install will put one where it shouldn’t be and you might get two that are detected, and it invariably uses the older one even if the newer one is installed, too.

Quickest way is to press F (toggle Full-screen) and you can see the version in the title bar.

Thanks for your help Yammer but no, that doesn't work. That is what I saw, as mentined, on a Google search and feel this is probably for older versions. In my CS6 of Photoshop/Bridge ver. 7.4 of Camera Raw the F key does give me full screen but absolutely nothing happens to the GUI--all looks 100% exactly the same.

ssprenget. thanks to you as well, and yes, that did work. I was not aware that camera raw was a plug-in. I thought it was software like Bridge (then again, a lot of plug-ins are like software, aren't they?)

Thanks again to both of you

The F key works as described for me in CS6-ACR7.4 with ACR as the window with focus. The same function is available using the double-arrow-window icon at the right of the Preview checkbox near the top right of the preview area.

When in full-screen mode there is no title bar, but when I press the F key or click the double-arrow, again, ACR becomes smaller and I can see the title bar that includes the ACR version and camera model. This is on Windows7-64-bit on a 1600x1050 monitor. Perhaps you’re ACR’s title bar is off the top of the screen so you can’t see it, or maybe ACR optimizes some things if you have a smallish display—do you?

A plug-in is a program that interfaces with another program but is not independently runnable application, itself, bit is independently updatable, so in this instance, Photoshop doesn’t need to be downloaded and installed every time Adobe adds support for a few more cameras.
