Yes look under Adobe Photoshop 2024>Settings or Preferences

CameraRaw is not an executable program. It is a Plugin for Photoshop.

From where did you download it?

Here is Adobe's Camera Raw installer: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html

Yes, I got it from that link!

OK. I thought it was an executable program , - Sorry!

I was following this link : https://www.upscale.media/blog/upscale-image-resolution-in-photoshop

- and saw I should install Camera Raw. 

But when I follow this instruction, I can't find out how to do this:

This I think is best done using Adobe Bridge but you don't absolutely need it if you are not familiar. You can just use Photoshop as follows:

Open Photoshop and go to Edit>Preferences>File Handling.

Under  File Compatibility click on Camera Raw Preferences...

In the dialogue which opens, go to File Handling then under JPEG choose Automatically open all supported JPEGs from the dropdown.

Ok all that.

Now when you open your JPEG image it should immediately open in Camera Raw (hosted by Photoshop).

There you can follow the instructions you posted earlier but, as I said earlier, under Enhance (Shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + D), of the three options, only Super Resolution is available for JPEG images.

Lets hope this gets you somewhere close to where you are aiming.

 

NOTE: When finished, you may wish to reset Camera Raw Preferences back to where they were (i.e. Disable JPEG support) otherwise every time you open a JPEG it will open in Camera Raw. You may not want that.

 


Thank you so much.

But I have no "Edit>Preferences>File Handling" in my Photoshop 2024?

Do you have anohter Photoshop than I have?

Please see my option in "Edit":
