In Bridge preferences there is the setting to open RAWs in Bridge by doubleclick. I have activated this. Files like .nef and .cr2 open in Camera-Raw in Bridge. But it does not work for .fff files. They open in Camera-Raw in Photoshop. Also sometmies RAWs which have been edited bevore open in Camera-Raw in Photoshop. What do I have to do to open ALL RAWs in Bridge Camera-Raw?

What type of system?  If Windows 10 go to Settings, System, Default Apps, and "Choose default apps by file type".  Scroll down the left side list of file extensions and assign Bridge to your raw file types.  When you double click on a file in File Explorer it will start Bridge with all files in the selected file folder.  Right click on any and open in Camera Raw, or use double click.

It is all Apple Systems from 10.10. up to the newest one. All RAWs are assigned to Photoshop.

I edit 95% of my images in Camera Raw, without ever invoking Photoshop.  So I decided I liked double-click in Bridge to open everything in Camera Raw - raw images and any jpg or tif.  So I now have the double-click preference in Bridge checked, AND in the "Jpeg and Tiff Handling" section of Camera Raw preferences I have selected "Automatically open all selected JPEGs" and "Automatically open all selected TIFFs".

I suggest you try the same, see if Bridge will recognize the .fff files as TIFFs.

You are right, that seems to be the point. Bridge seems to handle .fff files as TIFFs.

Unfortunatly that setting does not improve my workflow because I want the TIFFs to be opened in Photoshop. Seems to be a coding error of Adobe, that the .fff files are recognized as TIFFs.

Thank you for your help!
