How do i disable camera raw, I am trying to process bulk WEBP files and i have to deal with this large prompt everytime I import a webp or a jpeg on the PS v 27.4 ACR 18.2

For jpegs you can go to the Camera Raw preferences>File Handling and disable Jpeg support.

For batch processing of WebP files you could use File>Scripts>Image Processor from within Photoshop or Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor from within Bridge.

I believe it’s the 18.2 Camera Raw plugin that is the cause and not the Photoshop 24.7 update since older Photoshop versions with Camera Raw 18.2 also open WebP files into Camera Raw 18.2.

Already been reported here:

I do a lot of automated processing of webp images, and this update completely destroyed my scripts and my workflow.  The only way I was able to work around it was to roll back to Photoshop 27.3.1 and Camera Raw 14.5. 

I have fixed this by Rolling back to Photoshop 2025 26.0
Deleting Adobe Bridge
Deleting the camera raw folder in appData
Resetting all Camera Raw Preferences by holding CTRL ALT under Edit and clicking on Camera Raw Preferences
Using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool to remove 18.2 and installed 14.5 of ACR
Disabled every preference in ACR 14.5 preferences

I refuse to install ACR 18.2 or any new Photoshop updates now.
