The solution for Windows CS6: Find the amtlib.dll file in the Photoshop file and copy it to replace the amtlib.dll file in the Bridge folder. Probably safer to first rename the Bridge amtlib.dll to something like amtlib.dll.old just in case something goes wrong and you have to revert! This worked on my Windows version but copying the amtlib.framework from the Photoshop folder to the Bridge one did not work for Mac so if anyone can help with a Mac fix I would appreciate it!

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
For Mac... (PS CS6, Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw 9.x) Mac Os 10.x
Open Photoshop, browse in Bridge or mini Bridge, select .jpg or .dng, right click photo file, select open in Camera Raw.
There will be a little "crunching", then seems like nothing is happening.
Press control, option, and return together......selected photo will open in PS Camera Raw.
Enjoy

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
I was having the same problem that the original poster was having (Camera Raw editing is not enabled.) After tinkering around with some of the suggestions that were provided by some of the users on this form, I figured out what my problem was. How I got it to work was simple. I open a picture in Photoshop, doesn't what type, png, jpg, tiff. Then File>Browse in Bridge. Once Bridge is opened. All I had to do is, highlight the image you want to open in Camera Raw, and a second image, doesn't matter which one, then double click the image you want to open in camera raw, and voila, camera raw opens right up. After all the suggestions mentioned, this one works easier than the other recommendations made so far, every time.
Hope this helps.

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
I tried all the time consuming suggestions up to this one. I have a PC and I updated from Windows update and now have camera raw 9.1. This caused the problem of only the preferences menu opening from PS but , now voila was voila. Thank you. Why it has not been fixed is a good question.

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
I have this same problem with CC in 2016. Is Adobe going to fix this? What am I paying for? Camera Raw won't open files out of Bridge an I get a pop up about a qualifying product needing to be activated. WHAT AM I PAYING FOR?

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
For years i used to open and organize all my RAW files using camera raw in Bridge only, without the need to open photoshop. Once I installed CS6, every time i was double clicking on a raw photo, it would automatically open camera raw but inside of photoshop, so photoshop would open automatically then camera raw would come next. This actually slowed down my working process, because when I needed to convert some raw files into jpegs according to my work needs, i needed to wait hundred of photos to be converted to start a new conversion on a different folder... and when I used CS5, i could simply start converting the photos just in Bridge, then open another folder and start converting them too without the wait.
So i was trying to open Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge as well as trying to open raw files just using bridge (no photoshop) and the following message would pop up:
Camera Raw editing is not enabled
Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature"
So I looked up online, in every forum...I tried several solutions and they never worked for me. And today, more than 2 years later I accidentally fixed this problem, everything is working back to normal.
Just to put you in the picture, i had just Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Bridge only installed in my mac so I simply ran Creative Suit again, and installed just adobe illustrator and indesign because i'll need it. As soon as the installation finished, i ran Illustrator and quit it, then indesign and quit it. Afterwards, i ran adobe Bridge and a miraculous message which I can't remember what was written showed up asking if its ok to install some indesign and some illustrator preferences into Adobe Bridge. Once I accepted it, my adobe bridge was back to normal...
Now I can even open Camera Raw preferences within bridge or do anything within bridge without the need of photoshop. I can edit all my RAW files, JPEG or any other photos just in Camera Raw, no photoshop.
I hope this will be helpful for the ones on the same situation I had.
Cheers!

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
Reinstalling PS CS6 might also have fixed it, then, unless you'd already tried that.

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
I have been having this problem off and on for Many years. Its so intermittent that it does make me think it has to do with the updates. Just now I opened that little red adobe screen where the updates are and clicked on Bridge to look for an update and suddenly bridge opened up and works perfectly. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
I had to change the edit menu preferences in Bridge not Photoshop and check double click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge.

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
The problem with that is jpgs ALWAYS will open in camera raw. Just think in batch processes...

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
I just had this opening a RAW file from Bridge CC 2018 and it turns out that i had been signed out of Creative Cloud, once i signed in i relaunched Bridge and it opened fine.

Re: Camera Raw editing is not enabled
I have Mac OS 10.10, Yosemite. I updated my several versions of Bridge and CC yesterday, (CC, CC2014, and CC2015.5) and discovered that all access to Camera Raw from all of them did not work.
What I noticed first was that Tiff files did not show as thumbnails in Bridge, and that purging the cache made no difference. And Clicking on Bridge - Camera Raw Preferences... did not open the ACR dialogue box.
It turned out that Camera Raw had been removed in the process of updating the CC apps, even though my Creative Cloud desktop app showed that CC Camera Raw was up to date......
It has taken me all day to find out how to solve this. Adobe must know there is a problem as today they have put this on the website Camera Raw plug-in installer
https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
As I am 'getting on a bit', and tend not to remember how I did something for very long afterwards, I made myself a Word Doc of instructions - mostly copied from the Adobe page, but with additions. I am pasting it below, in the hope it might be useful. There are links to downloading the various versions of ACR, whether they will still be active from this forum I know not, but they are all on the Adobe web page anyway. Hope this might be helpful to some.

Instructions for installing Camera Raw
Installation is automatic. It installs to Mac HD >Library (the one directly on the HD) >Application Support >Adobe >Plug-Ins >CC >File Formats and is called Camera Raw.plugin It overwrites any earlier one. For CS6 it would be in Plug-Ins >CS6 >File Formats. Must only be one copy in the File Formats folder. (Each folder if you have CS6 and CC on the same machine)
