To open a JPEG or TIFF image from File Explorer Windows computer, you need to do the following.
Open Photoshop and go to the main menu tab File --> Open As. In the “Open” window, click on the desired file, then click on the button located in the lower right corner (by default it says “All Formats”). A menu will open where you select “Camera Raw”:

After that, the button will change to “Camera Raw”, then click on the “Open” button.

The JPEG image opens in the Camera Raw window.

How to open several pictures at once.

You can open multiple files at once in Camera Raw. Several RAW files can be opened directly from a computer folder; to do this, you first need to select them by holding Ctrl, then simply double-click on any of the selected files with the left mouse button and they will all open in Camera Raw.
You cannot open multiple JPEG or TIFF files from Window Explorer.

It's better to open multiple images through Adobe Bridge, so you can open not only multiple RAW files, but also JPEG or TIFF. Same as before, select necessary files, holding Ctrl or Shift, and click on any of them with the right mouse button. A menu will open where you can select Open in Camera Raw, or instead press Ctrl+R after selecting your files.

Only one image will open in the window, the rest will be displayed in the form and appear as a column on the left with thumbnails of the images:

Editing JPEG and TIFF Images in Camera Raw

A few words about JPEG and TIFF editing in Camera Raw. When you make changes to a JPEG or TIFF and click the "Open Image" button at the bottom, this action opens the image in Photoshop.

However, if you want to save the changes you made in Camera Raw without opening the photo in Photoshop, click the Done button instead and your changes will be saved. But there is a big difference between editing JPEG or TIFF images and editing RAW images. When you click "Done" you are physically changing the actual pixels of the original JPEG or TIFF, whereas in the case of RAW image this doesn't happen (this is the second big advantage of working with RAW). If you click on the "Open Image" button and open JPEG file or TIFF in Photoshop, then you also open and edit the real image. Remember this.

Two Camera Raws

And one more thing: there are actually two Camera Raws - one in Photoshop and one separately in Bridge. The benefit of having two Camera Raws comes into play when you're processing and/or saving a lot of RAW images—they can be processed in Camera Raw in Bridge while you're working on something else in Photoshop. If you use Camera Raw in Bridge more often, you might find this helpful. shortcut key Ctrl+K. It allows you to open Bridge's Preferences window, go to the General tab at the top left, and then check the Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge checkbox. Bridge)

learn how to open images, including raw files, JPEGs and TIFFs, directly in amazing powerful plugin for editing Photoshop images, known as Camera Raw.

So far in this series about getting our images into Photoshop, we have learned how to set Photoshop as the default image editor in both Windows and Mac. We learned how to open images from inside Photoshop. And we learned how to open images in Photoshop using Adobe Bridge.

even though Photoshop is still the most powerful and popular editor images in the world, times have changed. These days, especially if you're a photographer, you're less likely to open your images in Photoshop itself (at least initially) and more likely to open them in Photoshop's image editing plugin, Camera Raw.

Camera Raw was originally designed to allow us to process raw files. That is, images that were captured using your camera's raw file format. But Camera Raw also includes support for JPEG and TIFF images.

Unlike Photoshop, which is used by people in almost every creative profession Camera Raw was built with photographers in mind, using a simple layout that follows the normal photo editing process from start to finish. This makes editing images in Camera Raw more natural and intuitive. And, Camera Raw is completely non-destructive, meaning that we don't make any images permanently. We can make any changes we like at any time, and we can even restore the original, unedited version at any time.

We're going to cover Camera Raw in great detail in our own series of tutorials. Now let's learn how to open our images directly in Camera Raw. We'll start with raw files since they're the easiest to open. Then we will learn how to open JPEG and TIFF.

The best way to open images in RAW you can use Adobe Bridge, so that's what I'll use here. If you're not already familiar with Adobe Bridge, I covered the basics, including how to install Bridge, in a previous How to Open Images from Adobe Bridge tutorial. Be sure to check this before proceeding.

be the first to know when new tutorials are added!

If necessary, you can record the state of the image at any time by creating it snapshot. Snapshots store versions of the image that contain the full set of edits made at the time the snapshot was taken. Taking snapshots of an image at different points in the editing process makes it easy to compare the results of different adjustments applied. In addition, if necessary, you can return to more early state. Another advantage of using snapshots is the ability to work with different versions of an image without having to duplicate the original.

Take and manage screenshots from the Screenshots tab of the Camera Raw dialog box.

When working with images, the user can perform the following actions:

Note.

If you use screenshots in Photoshop Lightroom, you can edit them in the Camera Raw dialog box (and vice versa).

Saving, restoring, and loading Camera Raw settings

You can reuse the same set of changes you applied to the image. To do this, you can save all of your current Camera Raw image settings, or any subset of those settings, as a preset or a new set of defaults. The default settings apply to specific model cameras, to a camera with a specific serial number or to a specific ISO setting, depending on the settings in the section Default Image Options Camera Raw settings.

Style names appear in the Styles tab of the Edit menu > Develop Settings in Adobe program Bridge, in the context menu of raw images in Adobe Bridge and in the submenu Applying styles Camera Raw Settings menu in the Camera Raw dialog box. If presets are not saved in the Camera Raw Preferences folder, they do not appear in the menus above. However, you can use the command Load settings to find and apply settings saved elsewhere.

Note.

To save and delete styles, use the buttons located at the bottom of the “Styles” tab.

Determining where to store Camera Raw settings

Select an option to specify where settings are stored. Using XMP files is useful when you need to move or save an image file and want to retain the settings of the raw photo. Team Export settings can be used to copy settings from the Camera Raw database into accompanying XMP files or embed settings into Digital Negative (DNG) files.

After processing a raw image file using Camera Raw software, the image settings are saved in either a Camera Raw database file or an accompanying XMP file. When you process a DNG file in Camera Raw, the settings are saved in the DNG file itself, but they may also be saved in an accompanying XMP file rather than in the DNG. Settings for TIFF and JPEG files are always saved in the files themselves.

Note.

When you import a sequence of raw image files into After Effects, the settings applied to the first file apply to all other files in the sequence that do not have their own accompanying XMP files. After Effects does not check the Camera Raw database.

You can set an option to determine where settings are stored. When you reopen a raw image file, all settings default to the values ​​that were in use when the file was last opened. Image attributes (target profile color space, bit depth, pixel size and resolution) are not stored with the settings.

Copy and paste Camera Raw settings

In Adobe Bridge, you can copy and paste Camera Raw settings from one image file to another.

In Adobe Bridge, select the file and select Edit > Develop Preferences > Copy Camera Raw Settings.

Select one or more files and select Edit > Develop Settings > Paste Camera Raw Settings.

Note.

You can also click right click(Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the image file to copy and paste using the context menu.

In the dialog box Paste Camera Raw Settings select the settings to apply.

Applying saved Camera Raw settings

Export Camera Raw settings and DNG images for preview

If file settings are stored in the Camera Raw database, you can use the command Export settings to XMP to copy the settings into accompanying XMP files or embed them into DNG files. This allows image adjustments to be attached to Camera Raw files when they are moved.

It is also possible to update images preview JPEGs embedded in DNG files.

Set Camera Raw workflow options

Workflow options let you specify settings for files exported from the Camera Raw plug-in, including bit depth, color space, output sharpness, and pixel dimensions. Workflow settings control how these files are opened in Photoshop, but do not affect how the raw file is imported into After Effects. Workflow settings do not affect the raw image data itself.

Workflow options settings can be set by clicking the underlined text at the bottom of the Camera Raw dialog box.

Space

Specifies the target color profile. Typically, the Space setting should be set to the color profile used for the Photoshop RGB workspace. The source profile for a raw image file is usually the camera's native color space. The profiles listed in the Space menu are built into external module

Camera Raw. If you need to use a color space that is not available in the Space menu, select ProPhoto RGB and then convert it to the desired workspace by opening the file in Photoshop.

Depth

Specifies whether the file should be opened as an 8-bit or 16-bit image in Photoshop.

Specifies the pixel dimensions of the image when imported into Photoshop. By default, the pixel dimensions used when the image was taken are applied. To interpolate an image, select the Crop Size menu.

When using square pixel cameras, choosing a smaller than native size allows for faster processing if you plan to produce a smaller final image. Selecting larger sizes is similar to increasing the size of an image in Photoshop.

When using cameras with non-square pixels, the native size is the size that best preserves the total number of pixels. Selecting a different size minimizes the interpolation performed in Camera Raw, resulting in a slight improvement in image quality. In the "Size" menu, the size that allows you to get best quality, denoted by an asterisk (*).

Note. You can always resize an image in pixels after opening it in Photoshop.

AND Glossy paper. When applying output sharpening, you can change the value in the Amount drop-down menu to High or Low to increase or decrease the amount of sharpening applied. In most cases, you can leave the Amount parameter at its default value of Standard.

Open in Photoshop as Smart Objects

After setting this option, when you click the Open button, Camera Raw images open in Photoshop as a Smart Object layer rather than a Background layer. To change this setting for selected images, hold down the Shift key while clicking the Open button.

From time to time there are some problems with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw. We have to look for a solution. I will publish these solutions on this page because... I'm sure many more will face the same problems.

Adobe Bridge tries to open a file in an old Photoshop that has already been deleted

I encountered this after upgrading Photoshop to version 2015. I deleted the old 2014 before that. But the link to it in Bridge remains the same.

Open Adobe Bridge, go to the menu Edit-Preferences->File type associations

And choose the right type of Photoshop or use Browse to look for it on disk.

Adobe Bridge does not open files from a new or rare camera

Update your version Adobe Bridge.
When viewing files, it is he who extracts thumbnails from large RAW files. If the RAW File type is new, then it will not be able to extract a preview and will show an empty icon instead of a picture.

Adobe Bridge Adobe.

This happened to me with my camera. Sony A7 II. Usually I shoot with a Canon 5D mark II and all the previews are visible, but here the previews were not shown.

Adobe Bridge won't open RAW file

"The request could not be completed: this incorrect type document."
"The request cannot be completed because Photoshop does not recognize this file type."
"[Filename] cannot be opened because it is an invalid file type."
"The format is not supported or the file is damaged."

Adobe Bridge the RAW file itself does not open, but launches a separate application Adobe Camera RAW and it depends on its version whether the file will open or not.
If version Adobe Camera RAW old or the files of this camera are not yet supported ACR, That Adobe Bridge will display “invalid file format” or a similar message (with variations in English).

When I try to open a file in Photoshop from Bridge, I get the message "To use this Bridge feature, the corresponding product must be launched at least once." How to fix it?

I've had it several times.

I’m revealing a “terrible secret” that few people know.

Just copy the amtlib.dll file from Photoshop to the bridge directory.

This problem is a problem of incompatibility between the FS and bridge versions of this file.

You've installed the new Adobe Photoshop, but how do you connect your Workspace to it from the old one?

When you deleted the old Photoshop, you probably still had the settings of the old one if you saved them under some names. For example, I have it saved under “my.psw”.

Go to the folder C:\Users\Kenji\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Settings\WorkSpaces

instead of Kenji put your username, and instead of Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 search old version Photoshop (CS6, CC, CC 2014...)
And the final folder will contain a file with your name and extension psw.

Copy it to a folder in the same path, but to the folder from the new Photoshop. Restart Photoshop and voila - you see your favorite workspace in the Workspaces list.

You've installed the new Adobe Photoshop, but how do you connect your curves from the old one to it?
