Adjustment panel problem with non raw files

When I open a non raw file(like jpg or tiff) in PS24.6 , the adjustment panel is grayed out and won't work, but I found a work around by opening the raw converter and hit OK, and then the panel will work.  See photo atachment that explains it more. Same problem when opening (CTRL+E) from lightroom classic. I still have to same procedure. LRC version 12.4 / Camera Raw 15.4 / PS 24.6
