Files do not open in Photoshop through Bridge and CameraRaw

[Pieter van Roijen]

since the update to v13 (today) i cannot open files to Photoshop (v24) when i use CameraRaw through bridge. Not by 'OPEN' 'OPEN AS OBJECT'' or 'OPEN AS COPY' clicking on eiter of these nothing happens. The only way to open a image in Photoshop through bridge is FILE->OPEN WITH->ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 2023 (DEFAULT) 

So not by dubbel clicking on a file or throught the 'OPEN IN CAMERARAW" icon. It wil open in CRaw but i cannot continue to Photoshop

Apple M1 Montery v12.6

I have a similar problem.  I get error trying to open images from Bridge since Adobe Updated CC to PS25.

Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2024\Photoshop.exe'.
Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

This is my error.  I tried logging out of CC and rebooting, no change

In my case the problem is solved with a new laptop and a clean install of Adobe software.

I have a similar issue. I think it just started. Mac OS Sequoia 15.3, PS 26.3, Bridge 15.0.2, PS Beta 26.4.....I can no longer double click on an image and have it open in PS. What is maddening is that in Bridge Settings/Applications/ one can chose the application to launch.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalled. Yes, it works to drag the image from Bridge to the toolbar where the PS icon is and it will open in PS. That is a work around but not acceptable. One would like a discount off of our mothly fee for programs that do not work correctly. If Adobe wants us to use Bridge as our image browser, it needs to work correctly.

Hi, @ERobicheaux, have you tried Resetting Bridge's Preferences?

Quit Bridge (if running). Just before clicking on Bridge in the Dock or double-clicking the application for the Mac, press Command-Option-Shift. For PCs, press Control-Alt-Shift. Then open Bridge BUT KEEP your fingers on those keys until you see a window pop up. From the window, choose “Reset Preferences," "Entire Thumbnail Cache,” and/or "Reset Standard Workspaces.” In your case, choose "Reset Preferences."

Interesting, this solved the problem. What is interesting is that I rreinstalled Bridge twice, one keeping the Preferences, and the other deleting the Preference and did not write my post here until after I did the second install. It must be an issue the the cache. Thanks, it is a big deal as I like to use Bridge to go through my image files and double click to get a larger look.

Hi, @ERobicheaux, glad that worked. 

For what it's worth, when the obvious things that a program does not work, there are several possible reasons: 1) it is a bug. But a bug this obvious would never get out of the door. 2) Hardware incompatibility. Your machine is too old to function with that release that is failing. 3) There is a glitch in your system (this is the most common reason). 4) The user is pushing the boundaries of the software. For example, software designed to be used with hundreds of files at the same time is overwhelmed with thousands of files. 5) The user is not using the software correctly. Or 6) has reasonable or unreasonable expectations of what the software can do.

There are other things, but with the many years I've been helping folks, these are the most common.
