Adobe Bridge CC (free of charge) includes support for the Adobe Camera RAW plugin if Photoshop CC is also activated (trial version). BRIDGE + ARC combination satisfies my need to quickly configure and watch multimedia, but it will not work without the activated version of Photoshop.
I was interested, whether the next will work trick : If I buy Photoshop Elements 15 (which can sometimes be cheap) and install it next to Bridge CC; Will the Camera RAW plugin be re-enabled in Bridge CC or will it work only from PSE?
Of course, I read that Camera RAW for PSE disables things such as gradient filters, separate tinting and removal of stains, but I do not mind; If I need more accurate editing, I can always open untreated inside Affinity photo, which is more capable.
Anyone who thinks / knows what it will work?

Shortly speaking
Can be used Adobe Camera Raw. (ACR) complete with Photoshop Elements. (PSE), as if it were almost natural for Bridge Creative Cloud. (CC) (see explanations below because there are some quirks and some things you can't do)
What works and what not
- Adobe Camera Raw included in PSE It seems a separate instance from CC. (possibly located in another folder)
- IN editor PSE. Opening the RAW file will open the dialog box Acr (Simplified for PSE , without extended tools supplied with the full version CC. - full list )
- Pressing " Open in Camera Raw "in Bridge CC. You will see a message that Camera Raw Editing Is Not Enabled. However,
- from the inside Bridge If you click on " Open with help »-\u003e Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 Editor , he actually launches Acr (version PSE; after Initialization PSE), then
- you have the opportunity to work on Raw, as before, and either
- click Finish (or Cancel) and return to Bridge , or
- press OPEN image and open the image in PSE .
What works
- Bridge can easily send multiple files in ACR PSE (which helps a little when packet editing)
- It seems that Bridge reads new / updated XMP files as well as if they were "their"
- preview accurate
- there is also an icon indicating that adjustments are applied to this particular unprocessed file.
- edited miniatures inside Bridge Instantly updated as if they were created using your own version Acr (i.e. full CC Acr).
- inside Acr
- You can re-edit the settings that were previously created by the full version. CC Acr And it is quite interesting
- adjustments that are not supported here (for example, removal of stains, correction of perspective, etc.), remain, although not subject to further configuration. However
- if you click " reset the default camera settings » These settings will also be canceled.
What does not work
main cautions
- you can no longer use the parameters " Development » -> « Parameters in default for Camera Raw " / « Previous conversion » / « Clear settings » of Bridge so you need to do it from ACR, Which means that for batch editing you need to perform several additional steps.
- you lose access to good tools, such as tool for removing stains , toning , prospects Correction, Correction lens , remove blur and of course, masks (full list )
minor reservations
- ultimately you can keep a copy PSE always open as it must be started before launch Acr (Unlike version CC, which can be placed directly in Bridge)
- Another consequence of this is that if inside Acr You click Ready or Cancel , window Acr Close, but not window pSE editor.
- Context menu " Open in Camera Raw ... " (as well as the above development parameters) in Bridge no longer does anything useful - instead you must click " To open with" -> « Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 Editor, What is a bit more cumbersome thanks to one additional click and need to scan it in the large list (if you have multiple photo editing applications).
- Be an independent version Acr Also means that you probably do not have the right to constant updates, unlike the version CC, which is updated forever. This is just an assumption, but the compatibility list indicates that the PSE version (PSE 13) never did it to ACR 9.0 or higher)
- after editing in Camera Raw if, instead of closing the window, you decide to click the "Open" button to edit the image inside PSE , PSE, visible, imposes additional restrictions compared to editing the same files inside PS. . Among other things, you are limited to 8 bits on the canal.
Output
In general, it is quite applicable, although not supported directly.
Background (how I checked it)
in my system there is a trial bRIDGE CC 2017 version and Photoshop CC 2017. But trial version Photoshop. already expired. Since then, whenever I choose from Bridge parameter " Open in Camera Raw ... " I receive an error message (Camera Raw Editing Is Not Enabled. Camera Raw Editing Required That A Qualifying Product Has Been Launched At Least OnCe To Enable This Feature.).
- After downloading, installing and running Acr From the trial version PSE 15. I tested again Bridge But not lucky. Prone pSE version, I downloaded, had ACR 9,7 (or 9.6?).
- From the program I was given the opportunity to download a newer version PSE and newer version Acr (9.8), which coincides with the version that my Bridge CC 2017. ; So I thought I could try too. It hinted on the fact that CC. and PSE have their own separate copy ACR, which requires a separate update.
- I installed the update, but failed to configure Bridge For proper integration with this version.
becomed
I did not try the full version Photoshop Elements. , only a trial version, and I did not delete the trial version Photoshop CC 2017. With an expired period, but I do not understand why this could lead to any other result.

Thanks for the excellent explanation! There is another moment, which may be worth adding: When you develop a photo in ACR, everything happens in 16 bits, but when you click "Open" to make additional changes to PSE, you may be prompted to convert an image of 8 bits as PSE does not fully support editing 16 bits. For example, you can trim, adjust the levels and curves by saving a photo in 16 bits, but you cannot use layers or use the cloning tool without converting it to 8 bits.

Thanks @gerlos - a good moment! I added this - although I avoided the topic of opening a file inside PSE (or even PS) for obvious reasons, at some point you need to at least export your images and you have to use PS, PSE or third-party image editing software.
Which of the modern people does not like to photograph? Digital images have become almost one of the most important components of our life: Mobile comfortable selfie, exquisite photo shoots and just amateur shots. People love high-quality, good photos with which they capture important events, their family, unique places. Even more to create such shots, mirror cameras are used, and all the resulting frames pass graphics.
How to open Raw in Photoshop asks many lovers to photograph and adjust the picture. It would seem that it may be easier, but in fact, this problem has several nuances.
To answer the question how to open the chamber favor in Photoshop, you initially need to figure out what kind of format is this and why is it needed? "Raw" is translated from the English language as raw, untreated, and in our case means the format of a digital photo that contains raw data. This format files are usually obtained using mirror digital chambers, mirrorless, semi-professional with non-free optics. Photo card processing in Risk format makes it possible to modify frame parameters: exposure, saturation, white balance, sharpness, brightness, contrast. All changes can be made before editing. This feature makes it possible to get a final photo without losing neither too dark, nor bright sections of the frame.
Ravid format files are supported by a large number of graphic programs.
Why photoshop does not open Raw? In fact, in Photoshop, you can open the photo of the Raving format, however, it uses three programs at once in a bundle - Camera Raw Converter, Adobe Bridge Utilities, Adobe Photoshop. These utilities are related to each other and are a single mechanism for editing and processing raster images and snapshots.
How to open Camera Raw in photoshop?
Go to the Editor's Main menu, select the "File" menu and the Open command. In the window that appears, select the desired Favor file. Highlight it with the mouse and click the Open button. So the file will open immediately in the converter. This method is used to open several files at once.
Opening RAW via Adobe Bridge
How to upload one shot

Either click on the thumbnail of the picture of the right, from the menu that appears, you must select the "Open in Camera Raw" command. In this case, the picture will appear in the converter window, without using photoshop, ready to transform.
Opening the photo of the Favor format, you can further edit it and adjust the most different ways, achieving the result.
How to download some pictures immediately
To download multiple images in Camera RAW, you must select them in the Adobe Bridge thumbnail window by pressing the CTRL / SHIFT keys simultaneously and highlighting the mouse using the mouse, then press Ctrl + R. After you click on the right button, you select the "Open in Camera Raw" command, you can also use the pressure icon of the diaphragm, which is under the main menu.
After performing the actions described above, you will have all the images you selected in the converter. Their reduced copies will be available on the left side of the window, which allows you to conveniently switch between pictures. If the tape thumbnails interferes to you in operation, you can move it to the left part of the editor interface, while it will turn, and the selected picture will be stretched to the whole screen.
How to close the photo after editing?
To correctly close the photo by saving all the changes and adjustments, click on the "Finish" button, which is located at the bottom of the program window. If you wish to save a snapshot without storing editing in Rav-format, you just need to select "Cancel". If you need to return to Photoshop and transferring the photo cards there with saving all the settings made, you must use the "Open Image" command.
Working with expansion files is very convenient and just with photoshop. This editor in bundle with the converter allows you to change, edit and process your photos and images to obtain the desired result, make them brighter, saturated and interesting.
To open the JPEG or TIFF image from the Windows Windows Explorer, you must follow the following.
Open Photoshop and go through the Main menu tab File -\u003e Open As (File -\u003e Open AS). In the "Open" window, click on the desired file, then press the button located in the lower right corner (by default it is written "All Formats" (ALL FORMATS). The menu will open, where to select "Camera Raw":
After that, the inscription on 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.
Camera RAW can open several files at once. Several RAW files can be opened directly from the folder of the computer, for this you first need to select them by clutching Ctrl, then just double-click on any of the selected files of the left mouse button and all of them will open in Camera Raw.
Open several JPEG or TIFF files from the Window Explorer window is not possible.
It is better to open multiple images via Adobe Bridge, so you can open not only a few RAW files, but also JPEG or TIFF. As before, select the desired files by clutching Ctrl or Shift, and click on any of them right mouse button. A menu will open, where select "Open to Camera Raw) or instead, press Ctrl + R after selecting files.
Only one image will open in the window, the rest are displayed in the form and appear in the form of a column-located column with thumbnails of images:
Editing JPEG and TIFF images in Camera Raw
A few words about editing JPEG and TIFF in Camera Raw. When you make changes to JPEG or TIFF and click on the button below "Open Image" (Open Image), this action opens an image in Photoshop.
However, if you want to save the changes made in Camera Raw, without opening a photo in Photoshop, then instead, click the "Done" button, and your changes will be saved. But there is a great difference between editing JPEG or TIFF images and editing images of Raw. When you click on the "Finish" button, you physically change the real pixels of the original JPEG or TIFF, whereas in the case with the RAW image it does not occur (this is the second major advantage of working with RAW). If you click on the "Open Image" button and open the JPEG or TIFF file in Photoshop, you also open and edit the real image. Remember this.
Two Camera Raw.
And one more thing: in fact, there are two Camera Raw - one in Photoshop and the other separately in Bridge. The advantage of two Camera RAW is manifested when you process and / or save many RAW pictures - they can be processed in Camera Raw, located in Bridge, while you are working on something else in Photoshop. If you are more often using the Camera RAW in Bridge, then the fast Ctrl + K key will be useful for you. It allows you to open the "Installation" window (Preferences) from Bridge, go to the "Main" tab (general) on the left above and then install the checkbox in the checkbox "Changing the Camera Raw settings in the BRIDGE Double-click" (Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings In Bridge)
Series: Secrets Camera Raw
Like the negatives and slides, not open and untreated RAW files are only the source material for future photos. It is no coincidence that the name of the format is "Raw" in English - raw, unprocessed. In your books, at lectures, I always say that a photographer who does not know how to print his photos itself is not a photographer. In our time, "Be able to print" means competently process the scanned films or open the RAW files to subsequently prepare them to print. Sometimes when you open the RAW file in Photoshop it is clear that additional correction is not required at all. But more often it is not so - usually the RAW files need to be improved. For the correct interpretation of RAW files, there are various converters, one of which is Adobe Camera Raw (Il. 3.1).
The close integration of this module with Photoshop and Bridge makes it quite convenient in operation. You can only open the Bridge program and make the necessary settings of the desired images using Camera Raw, without opening Photoshop. Or vice versa, run Camera RAW from Photoshop for batch file processing, then go to Bridge and continue to work in another folder, such as analysis and selection of the necessary images.
In the Bridge program, the Camera RAW window opens when you double-click on the file miniature. Will photoshop be launched or configuring the image will be made directly in Bridge, it is determined in the Bridge Preferences window (Il. 3.2). When you activated Double-click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge (with double-click settings, the Camera RAW settings are edited in Bridge), setting up RAW file processing parameters will be carried out in Bridge, when you decreased. After double clicking, Photoshop will start.
The buttons located in the bottom area of \u200b\u200bthe Camera RAW window allow you to select an action that the module must execute when working with RAW files. At the same time, the buttons displays how the program is running - from Bridge or from Photoshop. If the opening of the Camera RAW was made from Bridge, the Done button will be active, and if from Photoshop - the OPEN button (Il. 3.4).
Pressing the OPTIONS (ALT) key changes the functions of the buttons (Il. 3.5). Click on the RESET button returns to all previous settings, and click on the Open Copy button opens the current version of the image with the modified settings, the previous versions will remain unchanged. If you press the SHIFT key, the Open Image button will change to Open Object. When you click on this button, the photo will be opened in Photoshop as a smart object (Il. 3.6).
From time to time, there are some problems with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw. You have to look for a solution. I will publish these solutions on this page. I am sure many more will face the same problems.

You installed the new Adobe Photoshop, but how to connect your workspace to it (working environment) from the old one?
When you delete the old photoshop, you probably left the settings of the old if you preserved them under some names. I, for example, saved under "My.psw".
Go to 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 are looking for an old version of Photoshop (CS6, CC, CC 2014 ...)
And in the final daddy, the file will lie with your name and expansion of PSW.
Copy it in the folder on the same path, but in the folder from the new photoshop. Restart photoshop and voila - you see your favorite workspace in the Workspaces list.
You installed the new Adobe Photoshop, but how to connect your curves to it (Curves) from the old?

You need a folder C: \\ Users \\ Kenji \\ APPDATA \\ Roaming \\ Adobe \\ Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 \\ PRESETS \\ Keyboard Shortcuts

And copy the file (s) with the curves to the same folder of the new photoshop.
