Just updated to 14.1.2. and now no jpg files are opening at all. I can open them in "preview" or other image viewers, but getting a "Could not complete your request because the file was not found." error.

any thoughts?

I just updated to latest version of Photoshop, InDesign, and CameraRAW. Suddenly I am not able to right-click on JPG files and open them in Photoshop. I get long list of apps I could open them in, but new version of Photoshop isn't on it. CC Apps dashboard says RAW is updated. I *can* open the JPGs by navigating to them through the File menu in Photoshop, but this is much more inconvenient than what I was able to do up until yesterday. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks.

I solved the issue !!! Hope this helps everybody. 

Apparently, during the last update, Camera Raw was deleted or something, and even though I don't use it, it causes this issue with jpg files.

I just reinstalled Camera Raw (download from this link : Camera Raw plug-in installer ), restarted Photoshop, and now I can finally open jpgs.

cheers

I just fixed it after I noticed that Photopshop couldn't even open the camera raw preferences.  I downloaded the Camera raw.plugin 8.3 on this page:  http://goo.gl/kAee40   and then I placed it in my Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and also Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/Generator

The solution was to remove the Camera Raw.plugin that is located in Macintosh HD/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/FIle Formats/. This issue seems to only occur on Creative Cloud when run on Mac OS X 10.6.8. It seems that the version 8.4.1 is incompatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8. It is only for Mac OS X 10.7 and higher. Hope this helps...

thank you so much. this has been bothering me for months!!!!

i was so disappointed to install Yosemite and see that the problem was still there, because i had really tried to reinstall everything multiple times and nothing ever worked.

Maybe we've found a work around for this. Seems to be a problem with the Camera Raw 8.4 plug-in.

Tried reverting back to v8.3, and it seems to solve the problem:

We have the same problem. Also Mac OSX 10.6.8. Reinstalled Photoshop CC but that didn't help.
