Droplet Opens Camera Raw For JPEG File Format

[eliza89681725]

Since upgrading Photoshop and Bridge (which may not be the issue) I have had problems with Droplet.  No matter what the file format of the source is, the first photo opens in Camera Raw, and the action stops at that point. When I run an Action separately, it works correctly; the same Action contained in a Droplet does not. I have the same problem with Droplets created before the upgrade. I am working with JPEGs.

Windows 10 64-bit

Photoshop Version: 19.1.6

Check your Camer RAW preferences.  Is Jpeg and Tif support Disabled or Enabled?

Thank you -- that worked perfectly.

Now there is another problem.

I disabled JPEG & TIFF support in Camera Raw Preferences, and while Droplet now works perfectly, I cannot open a JPEG in Camera Raw by choice; For non-RAW photos, Open In Camera Raw is no longer an option in the drop-down menu that appears when right-clicking a photo in Bridge.

The work-around that I have found for other file formats is to open a RAW image, change Camera Raw Preferences, close the RAW image, then open a JPEG, etc., then change Preferences, back to what they were.

I should have waited a while.  The Open In Camera Raw option for non-RAW photos in Bridge reappeared after a reboot.

Thank you for your help.
