PhotoMechanic only launching 1 image at a time into Camera RAW
« on: January 26, 2025, 04:39:47 PM »
Hello,

I'm kind of stumped and need some help. I just got a new laptop and reinstalled PhotoMechanic v5 onto it. It's the same versions I've been using on my older laptops and desktop for years but when I go to edit a batch of photos from PM to Photoshop Camera RAW, my laptop version opens one at a time and relaunches for each image, rather than showing all in the filmstrip at the bottom. I can't for the life of me find what I'm missing in either my PhotoMechanic or Photoshop 2025 preferences that is checked/unchecked that is not allowing me to open and edit all at once.

I've gone through all my PhotoMechanic Preferences>Lunching and Photoshop Preferences>File Handling // Camera RAW settings and nothing seems to do the trick.

Both my desktop that I have no issue with and my laptop are running both version 5.0 build 19749.

Any tips or help here?

What OS are you running Photo Mechanic on?

OK, if you take PM out of the loop and simply use Windows Explorer to choose several RAW files and drag and drop them to Photoshop, does it show multiple RAW files or just one?

Yes. Photoshop will open all of them together in Camera RAW, with the filmstrip at the bottom showing all of the images and allows for batch editing.
