Are Bridge and Mini Bridge and Camera Raw part of PS?

1.) Are Bridge and Mini Bridge and Camera Raw part of PS? OR do they also come with other programs in the Adobe software suite?
2.) What is the difference between Bridge and Mini Bridge?
Thanks.

1.) The  Bridge application is included in the Photoshop installer, as well as  some other Adobe products.(more info:  http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/bridge/?promoid=GWELP). The  Mini Bridge extension is only included in Photoshop CS5, and InDesign  CS5. The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is shared by Photoshop, and  Bridge (and is also found in Photoshop Elements).
2.) Bridge is a separate application, whereas Mini Bridge is a panel  that's hosted by the Photoshop or InDesign application. Bridge has a fuller feature set than Mini Bridge and can be used by itself. Mini Bridge needs Bridge to create thumbnails, keep files  synchronized, and perform other  tasks, but operates in the context of the Ps or ID host application (ie. drag/drop multiple assets into working document w/o losing document view).

    HELP. ............Hi folks hope some one can help me please.Having a problem in Bridge I open my images in ACR,  as I open files in a folder and lets say they are labeled in yellow  they are all going back to  the camera raw default , in other words no matter what work I have done, inc cropping they  all go back to ,as they came out of camera. What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to  yesterday, when this first started.
    I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing  the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    Robert,
    Would you be so kind to rephrase your question with concise, precise information and without any "let's say that" hypotheticals?  Sorry, I can't quite follow you.
    Also please give exact versions of Photoshop CS6 (13.what.what), of Bridge and of your OS.
    Thanks.

  • Unable to Open Full and Mini Bridge in CS6

    I recently purchased the Student & Mac edition of CS6 and installed it on my Mac OS X 10.7.5.  I'm entirely new to CS and was following some video tutorials online, when I discovered that both the full and mini bridge components will not open.  If I try to open mini bridge in Photoshop, I get a message "Waiting for Bridge CS6."  If I attempt to open Bridge through the file dropdown or from the application file itself, I get an error message that says the operation cannot be completed. 
    I followed all of Adobe's recommendations here with no success: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-waiting-for-bridge-cs5.html  I have searched this forum as well, but a similar post was solved by uninstalling a previous version of CS, which is not applicable to me. 
    Does anyone have any additional suggestions for me?  Please let me know if I can provide additional information that is helpful.  Thank you very much.

    If you also tried a new user account for testing and it did not work there then it indicates you have a false install or install DVD, you might want to use the official uninstaller for Adobe, then use the cleaner tool:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    Read the instructions before acting and make sure you deactivate first and have the correct serial number at hand!
    And then make sure you have a legal copy of your install DVD / download installer.
    Also before reinstall it might be wise to first run a check and repair permissions using your Apple Disk Utilty (Applications/ Utilities /Apple Disk Utility)
    Then try again to install.

  • Setting White, Mid and Black Points in Camera Raw 7

    I am using Camera Raw 7 and can not seem to locate where can you set the white, mid, and black points in Camera Raw with the eyedropper tool. It seems you have to create a new psd file in Photoshop to do this, which does not make much sense since it is a basic levels adjustment. I am batch editing a bunch of CR2 files, and I just need to select the black, mid and white points on a grayscale that I've shot in the images - is there a way to do this in Camera Raw 7? Thanks!!

    ACR doesn’t work that way.  There is an eyedropper for the overall white-balance that you can set by clicking on a relatively bright, neutral area, but there aren’t black and white-point eyedroppers.  But, what is clipped black or white is determined by the output colorspace you have set at the bottom and you can get some idea of what will be clipped black and white by turning on the clipping indicators and watching for the areas you’d be eye-droppering on (the black and white patches in your grayscale) to start showing the clipping color overlay for black and white, but any further toning adjustments will move data in and out of what is darker than black and lighter than white so what is clipped for output will change as you fiddle with the various toning sliders.
    The reason things are different:  In PS, when you set a black-point and white-point in Levels and click Ok, the data below and above those is thrown away and that is the starting point for the next adjustment.  In ACR, things are non-destructive and all the adjustments occur simultaneously, rather than sequentially as in PS, and no clipping occurs until you create the output file.  This means that the pixels that are darker than your black-point and lighter than your white-point are still there, and can be moved into the black-to-white range if you do further toning adjustments.  Having more headroom of the pixels that are outside the black-to-white range is good because you won’t get the posterization or banding that occurs when colors and levels are clipped after each adjustment in PS.
    Can you describe what you intend your overall workflow to be on an image:  how much adjusting will occur in ACR and how much, if any, might happen in PS, after the image is opened into PS from ACR, or opened from a file saved from ACR?  There might be other ways to approach what you’re trying to accomplish.

  • Hi to all, I use Windows 7, 64Bit and Lightroom 5.7, Camera Raw 8.7, when I develop or export files (mostly Raw Fils from Nikon D810) after 10 to 20 pictures my computer shuts down or I get a bluescreen. Please tell me why.

    Blue screen/Computer shuts down is almost always a hardware malfunction or a driver problem.
    Make sure your video driver is up to date.
    If it is, then the next suspect, in my mind, is overheating, make sure all of the fans in your CPU case are working properly.

  • Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - but hangs!!

    Just installed CS 5 web premium upgrade from CS4 web P - but Bridge CS5 will not open camera raw - it hangs!! - but camera raw can open via Photoshop ext. 64 bit on my Windows 7 pc.
    Whats wrong???
    Bent Medvind

    In that case I would try resetting Bridge preferences by holding down Ctrl as you start Bridge.
    Before that, ensure that there isn't a hidden copy of Bridge running under Task Manager > Processes.

    Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

    You will need to update to the latest ACR ver 6.7.1 for Photoshop cs5.
    If you  go to Photoshop's Help menu > Updates..., it should be available for download.

  • Navigate, open, and save images in Camera Raw

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS91C1E0BD-9600-42b2-8EBE-1E012ED61058. html

    i'd double click on one and it would open in ACR, or I could highlight several images and they would all open in ACR - just like RAW files do.  but they were JPEGS.  it was awesome.
    I don't agree with the awesome part in this I'm afraid
    When you have set the preferences to Automatically open all supported jpegs instead of the default open jpeg with settings you will find yourself opening every jpeg in ACR, even it is just a small file you just want to view in PS.
    Hence the right click option on selected jpegs and choose 'open in Camera Raw' is preferred by the vast majority of users

  • Bridge Help | Mini Bridge

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/mini-bridge.html

    hi there, i totally agree with anne marie, after LOVING mini bridge in cs5, i am very disappointed by cs6's version.
    having a large library of psd files that are sorted into large list of categorical folders, it was hugely productive to be able to click in the main preview window of mini bridge (where you could see thumbnails of folders OR jpgs/psd, start typing the first few letters of the name of folder i wanted to access to be taken to it, hit enter to go into that folder, and view thumbnails of the psd files within, then drag a psd as a photoshop smart object into my project. essentially it appears that mini bridge in cs5 worked just like bridge's 'compact' version, although neatly within the photoshop workspace. perfect.
    now, because i can't see folders in the main thumbnail area, i have to use the  navigation pod above it (which i used to have minimized in cs5) which does not support typing to get to a folder (which means that i have to scroll down the looooong list of folders to get to the one i want), i tried using the 'search' function, but it only searches files, not folders, mini bridge is pretty much useless to me now, and takes even longer than using finder to get to an image i want to use. i know i can use bridge but i find it really annoying going between the two now when cs5 mini bridge was pretty much perfect for this.
    not only that, but when i drag a psd into my document now, it is automatically turned into a rasterized layer instead of a photoshop smart object as it did in cs5. also devastating to my particular workflow. is there a setting im missing that i cant find??? ive googled it to death and although ive found others with this problem there doesnt seem to be a workaround. seems like being able to type to get to a folder a stupid omission to make, surely im missing something obvious???

  • [bridge cc] Mini bridge cannot be launched

    Running adobe cc tools on win7
    I have the
    With Bridge cc (verified from help/`about bridte') running, I cannot get a minibridge.  The full message reads:
    Mini bridge cannot be launched because the
    Mini the bridge extension is not installed
    I'm not finding any instructions about how to install it, and a few posts here from Oct. indicate it is part of the CC tools.
    Further ; I don't see anything on the cc installer/update tool about any such extension.

    If it is a panel, how is that panel accessed? It is not amongst the panels listed under Windows menu item.  The only reference I see is under File/Browse in Mini bridge
    It should be in your PS Window menu under Window / Extensions / Mini Bridge   If it has checkmark in front it should also be visible as a docked panel. The default workspace for PS CC has both Timeline and Mini Bridge docked as panels at the bottom of your PS screen (however this is for a Mac using the Application Frame, don's have Windows but it should be there by default, certainly if Mini Bridge is listed under extensions and has a checkmark in front)
    Now from PS I click `File' / `Browse in Mini bridge'.  At that point a small window pops open with this informaiton:
    ....Mini Bridge could not be launched because the
    ....Mini Bridge extension is not installed
    That is indeed strange, on my system using the command to browse in Mini Bridge opens the MB panel wether I have it selected or not with a checkmark under Extensions.
    So how am I to access the mini-bridge panel?
    What have done wrong in the steps above?
    The only thing that seems wrong is your install. First check if you have the latest updates for PS and Bridge using your Creative Cloud Application (which also should be up to date).
    Then consider both PS and Bridge to reset preferences. for PS hold down shift + option + Command (Win - ctrl) while restart PS and choose delete pref settings file. For Bridge hold down option (Win-ctrl) key while restart Bridge.
    If still no luck consider to uninstall using the official uninstallers for Adobe and then use ACC to reinstall. If still in trouble consider the same procedure but then with the use of Adobe Clean Tool.
    In all cases first be sure to have a proper back up and also make sure you have your custom settings for PS (actions, brushes, presets etc) as well as for Bridge (export the keyword list also) before uninstall and use of clean tool
    here is the info for the clean tool:
