I don't want to be insulting, but I believe you may be mistaken about which Camera Raw is opening. It is my understanding that when one double clicks on a file in Bridge it will always open in Photoshop-Camera Raw, assuming the preferences for that raw file indicate Photoshop. Camera Raw can be hosted from either Bridge or Photoshop (can be both at the same time, i.e. can have two instances of ACR open), as far as I know the only way to tell the difference is to look at the three buttons in the lower right hand corner of ACR. If Open is highlighted then ACR is hosted by Photoshop, if Done is highlighted then ACR is hosted by Bridge. From inside Bridge, Camera Raw hosted by Bridge can be opened by right-click, Ctrl-R, or from the file menu, but a double-click or just open from the file menu will cause Photoshop to start, and the ACR will be hosted by Photoshop. If Photoshop is already open, then when you double-click in Bridge all you will see is ACR, look at the lower right hand buttons to determine from where it originated. Richard Southworth Added by edit - could you provide a link to one of the fff files, so that I can download and try on my system? Added by second edit - my mistake, I went back and read your first post, you have enabled ACR in Bridge with double-click. I did the same, and now I understand your issue I think. If Bridge recognizes the file as raw it invokes ACR, otherwise it goes directly to Photoshop. So the question is how to flag .fff files as raw. Sorry it took me so long to understand.
