Question

How to stop camera raw from opening immediately in Elements 15

When I opened Elements 15 today and clicked File-Open, selected my file, and clicked open to come up on the elements 15 editor screen, camera raw opens instead with the coloured file in black/white.  I don't want camera raw to open immediately.  Is there a way to stop this from happening?  I want my file to open directly into elements 15 editor.  Note, elements 15 worked fine until I agreed to install an updated version of camera raw this morning.

Thanks,

    The only situation I do know in which a jpeg or psd/tiff file opens in camera raw automatically in Elements (different from Photoshop), is when you have already opened the file in ACR before. That should not happen with new files.

    Of course, opening raw files means you open them in ACR.

    It would not hurt to use the usual trick of deleting preferences in your menu Edit. That solves many cases of abnormal behavior of the editor.

    It didn't work.

    Thanks though. I may uninstall Elements 15 and re-install.

    Hi,

    In camera raw dialog, click on open button to open this image in editor workspace.

    See Process camera raw images in Photoshop Elements for more information.

    Thanks,
