Wondering how to stop a Droplet from opening Camera Raw

Question

Hey there!

I'm trying to set up Droplets to automate a bunch of gruntwork when editing photos. I've had it in the past set up so that I was able to open my RAW files in Camera Raw, make whatever edits I wanted, exit out of Camera Raw, and then finally click-and-drag my photos onto the Droplet and watch Photoshop process all my images.

But now, I'm finding that when I click and drag my photos onto the Droplet, they open in Camera Raw, bringing the process to a halt.

Anyone have any solutions for this? Thanks 🙂

I'm using a Macbook running macOS Monterey, and Photoshop v24.0.

I don't use droplets, but opening a raw file via a script will bypass ACR. Perhaps somehow incorporate a script in the droplet. Frankly, when I was working, I just created a script to process my images. Put them all in a folder and had the script run on all files in that folder.
