If you are like me, you like the functionality of the photo processor that Photoshop comes with called Camera Raw, but if your photos weren’t taken in Raw format, such as CR2, photoshop doesn’t let you open the images with CameraRaw. Here’s a simple workaround that allows you to open images in Camera Raw. Once you’ve done that, you can simply right click any file and tell it to open in Photoshop, and it will first take it to Camera Raw. I did forget to mention in the video that if you want Photoshop to ALWAYS open JPGs in CameraRaw, you can adjust the settings in Photoshop preferences (once photoshop is completely open) to make it do that. Just go to (in the menu), Photoshop-Preferences-File Handling, and then check the box that says, “Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files.” Then click Okay. After that it will always open Jpegs in Camera Raw.
