"The Camera Raw settings could not be applied because there were no Camera Raw files selected or selected files were read-only"

This keeps appearing when I try to open photos to camera raw. The weird thing is it's only for this one photo session.

Any ideas what it means? I'm able to bipass it by going to edit the photos in photoshop, but its a hassle cause I'm editing a whole wedding.

Any thoughts?

I had the same error message. I’m using the latest version of Photoshop/Bridge and Mac OS. I finally discovered my error that caused this message. It was the title I gave to the folder that contained the images at issue. The folder title ended with ???. After removing the ??? everything behaved normally. One reason this error message may appear has to do with illegal characters in the folder title. Good Luck

I am having the same problem! Can go back to any of my files from a previous session - no problem. I don't know of anything different with anything in camera or computer

FOUND A WORKAROUND

Went to the file management app (Finder, for Apple)

Right-clicked on a .CR2 file to get [Open With]

Selected Adobe Photoshop instead of the default Adobe Bridge

File opened in Camera Raw!

having same problem as you- only one shoot; Mac desktop will not open jpgs in RAW for me to adjust--using Photoshop and Bridge but I keep getting the same notice you got; trying everything and nothing works. Help! "selected files were read only" but I haven't changed my settings and all other shoots are fine.
