Hi,

I use "Open in Camera Raw" option in Adobe Bridge to open .JPG files in Camera Raw. (screenshot - https://beta.ctrlv.cz/MrZ0 )

But when I want to open .PNG file, this option is not active.

Please how to open .PNG file in Camera Raw?

Thanks,

Jiri

My workflow: I always convert my image files to DNG format for editing in ACR. This allows me to also edit PNG files in ACR.
The original file format (whether JPG, PGN or another format) is retained by embedding it in DNG and the processing steps carried out in ACR are also saved in the file.

Sorry Debbie, the only files you could open in ACR are raw, DNG, tif, and jpg. PNG was never able to be opened in ACR. 

 

HOWEVER, as Lumigraphics stated, once an image is opened in PS, use the ACR filter, you're good!

It's not an issue of Bridge, it's an issue of ACR. ACR can't work with the PNG format. However, once you open the image, it's not a PNG, raw, TIFF, PSD, or JPG. It's pixels and, at that point, ACR can easily work with pixels.

 

 


At least on the Mac (not sure about Windows), ACR can also edit HEIC files in addition to the other supported formats. To my recollection, PNG has never been a supported format in ACR.

 

Although dated, the fundamentals don't change and this old Russell Brown video is still good today:

I don't believe you can. However, the Camera RAW filter inside Photoshop has the same tools.

yes using camera raw starting from photoshop to edit  .png  is correct and works fine thank you.

Hi DaBee,

 

Here's a hint (if you do not already know this), if you convert your image into a Smart Object, you can go back and make adjustments. If you do not do this, you're permanently locking in the changes as you work.

 

Good luck!
