Question

Opening files from Bridge in DXO-Lab

Hello,

I am using Bridge as my photo import and basic viewing program. I would like to use a workflow, where i open files viewed in bridge directly in DXO-Lab  -  not i Ps. After having done some basic editing in DXO, i will return the new file to Ps for further editing and printing here.

However, i can not find a way to open a file from Bridge in DXO directly. It only opens in Ps. Is there a way to open in DXO??. Can i install DXO as a "plugin" in Bridge??. I do not need to bring editing from Bridge into DXO.

Thank you and best regards

    Hello again,

    I tried a chat with Adobe support but did not get any usefull answer. I can see from the screendump that it is possible to open in other external editors than Camera Raw. Adobe just could not tell me how. Can anyone help me please?. Sorry i'm persistent, but i really have a problem here...

    Change the default application in Preferences for those specific RAW files to DXO.

    You can set file open defaults in Bridge preferences. Try that and see if it works.

    What operating system are you using?

    In Bridge when you right click on a photo thumbnail, click on Open With, you don't see DXO listed?

    Hello Jeff,

    Thank you for your answer.

    No, i right click as you say and use Open With, but only get the default option "Adobe Photoshop" 

    I am not with my computer now, but it is a newer computer, Windows based. Should be OK??

    Regards and thank you
