Open .DNG File Directly?

On my iMac running macOS Mojave, I cannot find a way to open a .DNG file directly.

If I right-click the file, the only options are ON1 Photo Raw and Adobe Photoshop.

My only solution is to first open Adobe Bridge, point that to the location of my .DNG, and then open Adobe Camera Raw from there.

If there is another way to open the .DNG directly, I would appreciate hearing abut it.

    Hi

    Camera Raw is a plugin so it needs a host application, there is no way to open DNG's directly in Camera Raw without opening a host application first i.e. Photoshop or Bridge if that's what you mean

    Right clicking and selecting Photoshop will open Photoshop if it's not already opened and then open the image in Camera Raw
