Adobe bridge & sony raw files

[pal2525]

Hi

Have downloaded the latest Adobe plug-in and have just hit one minor but annoying snag.
My jpg and raf will open in CS3 from Bridge by double clicking on the thumbnail but this will not work with Sony arw files.
Neither can I get the "Open With" option when I right click on thumbnail (have cleared cache's but no change).
Any one else come across this and sorted it?

without spending anytime looking my guess is that Cs3 doesn't support sony raw files yet...

you don't say what model your camera is but if you click on the pdf read me link you can see if your camera is supported

Hi buck
The Sony raw files (*.arw) do open in CS3 from explorer, but not from Bridge.
It's the "file type association" in Bridge that is the problem.

Hi
Have uncovered my own solution to the problem. "file type association" in Bridge was a blind alley.

I'm running Vista but the solution applies to other Windows op systems.

In My Computer, navigate to the folder containing the file you wish to open (in this case *.arw), right click on it then choose the option "open with" and browse to select the CS3 exec file. Click OK and on returning to Bridge it is found that Double clicking on the thumbnail opens the picture in CS3.
