Question

Opening images in ACR from Bridge

I un-installed Elements 11 from my computer as I needed more space, and I only edit in Elements 15 & 23 now, but now when I try to open images from Bridge into ACR I get an error message because it can't find Elements 11 anymore. Is there any way to get images to open in ACR from Bridge with only Elements 15 & 23 on my computer?

When you set the File Type Associations did you point to the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2023?

    I originally just changed everything that was set to Elements 15 to PhotoshopElementsEditor (2023) and it didn't work, so I just went in and changed every single file type association listed, and it works now! Thank you so much!!

    What version of Windows are you using?

     

    To open your images into ACR from Bridge are you double clicking the file or right clicking and using Open With or...?

    I've tried it both ways. I get the same message every time. My current workaround is open Elements 2023 and then open in camera raw from there, but that is significantly more time consuming 😕😕

    What version of Bridge are you using?

     

    In Bridge go to Edit>Preferences>File Type Associations and set them for either PSE 15 or 2023.

    Then that should open any Camera Raw images into the set PSE.

      I have Bridge 2022

       

      Everything was already set to Elements 15, but I followed your instructions and changed them all to Elements 2023. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error message: Windows cannot find 'C:Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
