Edit in camera raw is not an option for a tiff file in bridge

I am on a Mac "Big Sur". I have updated all my adobe cc apps.  If I use a raw file I can find enhance in camera raw.  But I am interested in trying the 'enhance' feature in camera raw on a file I have already edited that is now a TIFF file.  But can't seem to get there.  Bridge has no option from tiff to camera raw (not 'edit with' - adobe camera raw is not an option to choose), not command R (just makes a beep but doesn't do anything).  I have tiff and jpg selected in file handling to open automatically with setttings in the preferences panel. I have opened, closed and rebooted.  If I open through photoshop and then camera raw - enhance never shows up as an option.  So I tried through bridge.  But TIFF files have no way of opening in camera raw from bridge.   Suggestions please.

    Hi Catherines,

     

    If the TIF has layers, ACR cannot open it. If you flatten the TIF, then Purge the Cache for the folder*, you'll have no problem.

     

    Tools (menu) -> Cache -> Purge Cache for the folder.

     

    Please verify that that was the issue, thank you.

    Also, I have set the preference of double click will open file in camera raw... but it doesn't.. it opens in photoshop.
