It is Version 6.2.

If I double click on a .NEF image in Bridge then it opens into Camera Raw.

It I right click or use the icon to "Open in Camera Raw..." the I get the error message.

I would like the option to open JPG files in Camera Raw so I could batch process some adjustments on my old files, particularly my photos taken underwater.

Thanks for your help,

I have changed the settings as you suggested but can't see how to open jpegs in Camera Raw. Thanks for your help.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

With the suggested changes, with the Photoshop application open, the choice of File - Open in Photoshop and picking a JPEG file will cause the JPEG file to be read into the Camera Raw plug-in, where you'll have the choice to use the controls there on it.  That has nothing to do with Bridge, and may explain your difficulty with the answer.

Yeah i have just the same problem. And it also happens when i want to copy development settings from a adjusted raw-file. Alot of different things won't work. Almost half the options in right-click is stopped by this strange error.

I doubt it can have anything with the raw-file converter to do since it's no problem to open with doubleclick.

So, ADOBE, what is the problem here?

Just for the record, both Photoshop and Bridge is open when this happens and i got my CS5 Design Premium only a week ago.....so i'm scratching my head and cursing at the same time here.

This is a work-PC with Windows XP Professional if that matters.

Really hope ADOBE or some other smart people can come up with a sollution for this problem....really soon

I ran the Patch Installer and it didn't help me with the "Bridge's Parent Application is Not Active" message.

After you reinstalled CS4 did you do all the updates for Photoshop via the Adobe website?

General question, but worth asking:

Have you updated your software to the latest release?  That would be Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 (or 12.1) and Camera Raw 6.4.1.

I have the same problem! Can anybody have a solution?

Same problem here, though now in Bridge, all jpegs are opening up in RAW first!!

Found the solution: copy and replace the file: amtlib.dll from program files/adobe/photoshop cs5/ folder to program files/adobe/bridge cs5/ folder You need to have permissions to do this. Hope will solve your problem.

Basic question:  How is it that you expect those files to differ?

When your software is installed by Adobe's installer, they match already.

-Noel

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT.

Why would this be?  I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same.

Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ?

You need to update hosts File which you may find under C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

First you should Quit Adobe Bridge & Photoshop

You Need to Enter # in front of each adobe entries

for instance if you see

127.0.0.1          activate.adobe.com

change it to

#127.0.0.1          activate.adobe.com

& than save it

You might have trouble opening it so open this file with notepad than make changes & save it under same location with same extension.

It may ask you to replace this with previous file, Click on Yes

Relaunch photoshop than launch Adobe Bridge

It should fix this problem    

The hosts file change mentioned 4 months ago would be if there had been some hacking going on that disabled the Adobe activation server using the “127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com” line in the hosts file and the adding of the # in front disables that hosts entry, effectively re-enabling the activation server access  by programs on the computer.  Unless your hosts file actually has the entry to disable the adobe activation server or other adobe servers, then your problem would be different. 

The error in general means that when you are right-clicking and opening in ACR, the host application for ACR, which is Photoshop, cannot start.  One reason might be that the place the right-click Open in ACR command is looking for Photoshop doesn’t exist, anymore—maybe a registry or config-file has the wrong thing in it, and another reason would be the an existing version of Photoshop is being started up, but something went wrong before the startup completed.  If you are on a 64-bit Windows system, there are potentially two Photoshop executables, one 32-bit and one 64-bit.  With CS6, at least, there are also two versions of Bridge, so maybe it matters which 32-vs-64-bit Bridge you’re running.  To test this try starting up the 32-bit Photoshop and right-click-Open-in-ACR, and if that doesn’t work, then shut down the 32-bit version of PS and start up the 64-bit version of PS, and try the Open-In-ACR again.  If it still doesn’t work, then there is some other problem.  Adobe applications can sometimes be confused if there have been trials and release versions on the same system that aren’t uninstalled and installed in the right order.  There is a CS5 cleaner script you can search for on Adobe’s site that attempts to remove all traces of CS5 from your system.  You would only want to run this after you’d uninstalled as much as you could, yourself.
