I have never been able to access Adobe Camera Raw from Photoshop is this a Video Card issue? Don't see the need to continue if I cannot use any layers edits. Any help out there?

To do that you need to open as a smart object in Photoshop.

So if you've gone from Bridge to camera raw and made some adjustments, instead of clicking "Open Image" to go into Photoshop, press the shift key and use "Open Object". Then you can click on smart object in Photoshop and it will take you back to camera raw.

It's the same from Lightroom - use Edit in > Open as Smart object in Photoshop

I was able to go from Lightroom to Photoshop via smart object. make a copy via New Smart Object from Copy, then double-click opening the file into ACR. Not working now. It just creates another copy of file to edit within Photoshop...not ACR. Not sure what happened within the last few days. Maybe the new IOS update. 09/10/2020.

Is it the camera raw filter that you are trying to use or camera raw itself (e.g from Bridge - Open with camera raw)?

If you go to help >About Plug Ins > Camera Raw what version of camera raw is installed?
