Bridge CS5 is Corrupting Raw and JPG Files Right Before My Eyes

I am using Bridge CS5 on a Mac to work on Raw files from a Canon camera.  The files all looked good in the cameras review, and looked good when downloaded to the computer then the files started to corrupt and become unusable one at a time as I watched.  They became all white or lines of color.  Not all of them corrupted yhough (about 225 of 1100 did though).  I eventually worked the uncorrupted files and even turned them into JPGs and sent them out.  The next day I pull up the pics in bridge to see if they are still bad.  All of a sudden files I opened and worked on yesterday started to corrupt one after another.  Both the JPG and Raw files are corrupt and unusable even though they worked yesterday.  It only happens when in Bridge.  What is going on?  This is riduculous.

Thanks for responding.  What happens is I highlight a large group of files then click on open with Bridge or in Bridge I go to the subdirectory with the files.  All the files are in a filmstrip on the left side of the screen.  All of a sudden the file that I am viewing becomes corrupt (that is it turns into multiple horizontal lines of colors.  Then I can watch as it happens to one file after another.  I would compare it to when you quickly view film strips that were just uploaded and the initial thumbnail is blurry and then slowly all the thumbnails get clear as they process.  But here they appear to already be fine thumbnails but then turn into the files with horizontal lines or sometimes just 30% or so so of the pic is visible and the rest is white or gray.  When I try to open it the file cannot be opened because it is corrupt.  It happens to both the RAW and the JPG file (I shoot in Raw+JPG).  The first day it happened to about 200 of the 1200 files.  So I was able to process the 1000 good ones in Raw convertor and create JPGs with no trouble.  The next day I open all the files in Bridge again to see if the bad ones are good now and files I had already opened and were perfectly fine in RAW converter start to corrupt one after another like the ones did the day before.  So I doubt it is the card or hardware it only happens in Bridge.  Bridge must have the capability to do something to the files.  It isnt making XMF files so thats not it, it is actually corrupting the RAW and JPG files.  Have you ever heard of that.  I found another forum with what sounded like the same issue to someone who had a Canon:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/645620
But this happened to Windows and I use MAC.....but I do use a 7D like them.  I still wonder if Bridge just doesnt work well with Canon 7Ds or something like that.  The above thread never found a solution.  Maybe someone from Adobe has heard of this from others and discovered a reason or solution.  Until then I cant trust Adobe products at all....which really sucks after how much it cost me, but whole shoots lost is worse, I guess.

  • Browse only raw and jpg files, can i do with a script?

    Hi
    I use photoshop cs3 and bridge
    I would like to know if a script for bridge can let bridge visualize only jpg raw psd files?
    I know i can do it with filter , but i should setup filter every time i run bridge
    i would like a scipt that let bridge visualize only some type of files
    can i do it?
    is there a script that i can edit ?
    thanks
    have a nice day

    I assume your raws are in DNG format? If xmp is in sidecar, it won't change raw file date.
    Anyway, saving xmp does not change any dates in Lightroom, so you should still be able to sort by edit time or capture time...
    But if you want control, you have to save manually instead of automatically.
    Two things that might help:
    1. Filter based on metadata status.

  • Turning on 'write xmp files' in LR 5.4 changed the modified date on my old raw and jpg files. Can i stop this?

    On the advice of an article saying XMP sidecar files are a safer alternative to relying only on the catalog, I recently (June 16, 2014) turned on write XMP files. Now all my JPG and raw files have the same modified date of June 16, 2014, making it impossible to know which are the most recent files, etc.
    Is it possible to change this behavior to only create these files for new images - or to stop this behavior?
    I'm reverting to a backup of all my files and turning this option o ff for now.
    Thx

  • Bridge cs4 can not open raw and jpg directly by itself

    i never did it! i want to open raw and jpg files by camera raw directly with open photoshop. i have made the choose to open by double click in the preference but still can not do.
    my brother's computer can open both of them and we are similar xp system.
    and i have checked and reinstalled many times and still failed.

    A bit of magic (if I'd remember):
    1. open PS, from here File > Browse in Bridge
    2. open any RAW/DNG - it goes to PS
    3. switch to Bridge window (PS still open)
    4. R-click, select "open in Camera RAW"
    5. Close all
    Now opening in Bridge should work :)

  • Importing Raw and Jpg?

    I've got my camera set up to take Raw and Jpg files. In Aperture I can't seem to find a way to import both, it only shows the Raw files.
    Thanks

    try google, i can't remember where as i have never needed it ...
    is alt+J the right command or is that for new version from Master ??? you need new version from Master JPEG ... big difference ... and i can't remember - not in front of aperture ... i think thats right though ...
    do the JPGs show B&W in the finder before importing ???

  • Question about RAW to JPG file sizes

    Hello all, I have a question/concern in reference to file size changes when converting from RAW to JPG formats in PSE6. I've recently purchased a CANON 50D, and have started shooting in RAW format (actually RAW2+JPG). I have the CAMERA RAW 5.2 plugin and my workflow process is something akin to this:
    1. Separate all RAW and JPG images into their respective folders.
    2. Open the RAW folder in BRIDGE, and then open up a CR2 file. CR2 file is approx 15MB at this point, as reported in Finder.
    3. Perform various corrections in ACR52 to the file, then do as SAVE AS to a DNG file.
    4. Next step is to OPEN IMAGE, bringing it up in PSE6.
    5. Make any necessary corrections to the picture, and then do a SAVE AS to a new file name and folder, selecting JPG format.
    6. Selection MAX QUALITY from subsequent dialogue box, and SAVE.
    When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
    I've been doing some reading on this over the weekend, but cant explain away the severe loss in file size, and whether this is right, or if I'm doing something wrong in the process.
    Appreciate any advice or suggestions to help improve my work processes, and ultimately the final photos!

    Regarding your file size questions, have a look at this thread and see if it answers some of your questions:
    http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/741532/0
    > When the file is saved, its now down to a mere 2.1 or 2.2MB, and when viewing its properties (vs. the same file that came from camera in JPG format), its down from a 44x66" format, to somewhere around 4x6" and 240dpi.
    Dimensions and resolution are related and multiple combinations can be produced from the same number of pixels. For example, your 50D at maximum image size produces 4,752 by 3,168 pixels. This full-size image could be printed at:
    - 19.8 x 13.2 inches at 240 PPI
    - 47.52 x 31.68 inches at 100 PPI
    - 7.92 x 5.28 inches at 600 PPI
    As you can maybe see, talking about dimensions and resolution doesn't make much sense until you are ready to consider printing. Note also that I used "PPI" or Pixels Per Inch since this is the slightly more correct terminology. DPI or "Dots Per Inch" is usually a reference to how a printer lays down the ink drops onto the paper. Many printers actually put more "dots" on the paper than there are pixels. Many people and companies use DPI when they mean PPI.
    Now in your case you are apparently starting with an SRAW2 raw file. SRAW2 files from the 50D have a reduced number of pixels and are 2,276 pixels wide by 1,584 pixels high. At 240 PPI this would allow you to print the image at 9.9 by 6.6 inches. If you are ending up with something smaller than that, it means you have either re-sampled the image (changed the image so the same image is displayed with fewer pixels) or you have cropped the image.
    Hope that helps.

  • Camera raw and DNG files appear as generic icons

    Camera raw and DNG files appear as generic icons instead of image previews (Bridge CS5)
    What can I do ?

    Hi Yammer.
    First thanks a lot for taking your time to help me. I am really happy about it!
    I will try to answer:
    1)
    I meant by having the Camera Raw.8bi placed in BOTH "C:\Programmer\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5\Plug-Ins" and in C:\Programmer\Fælles filer\Adobe Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" the ACR will be found in two versions - or rather in two places (I know the former shouldn't be, but it solved my preview problem).
    2)
    YES - I do have tried twice starting the Adobe Bridge holding down the Ctrl-key and ticking the two (the third was greyed out but ticked anyway) and with no help.
    3)
    I have tried to do the *.8bi search you suggested, and this gives me the following dump - absolutely with a few more entries than yours. Some are like doubled.
    Do you think I can just delete these?
    Kind regards, Jan

  • RAW and JPG...

    When I open my photos (RAW and JPG) from my Canon 70D camera in Bridge, it says that I only have 2 JPG's instead of a RAW file and JPG file. This makes it hard to work on my RAW photos. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I am a PC user so cannot tell you from personal experience, but it seems that a screen-capture with Cmd-Shift-3 does the entire screen, and Cmd-Shift-4 does the active window, which may be better for a situation where a single application, in this case, Bridge, contains the information to be shown.  After you have captured the screen or window then there will be a file on the desktop that contains an image of the screen.
    The next step would be to put the image from that desktop file into a message, here.  The way to do that is go tot he web version of the forums thread, rather than replying via e-mail, then in the area where you can type in more text, click the camera icon above, and browse to the screen capture image on your desktop and select, then click Upload or whatever your browser says, then you should see the picture in your message and you can type in more of the reply before or after the image.
    Here is what the camera icon looks like at the type of where you type in text on the web version of the forums:

  • Rate and label both nef and jpg files

    Hello everyone, this probably sounds like a silly newbie question, but is there a simple way to rate and label both the nef and jpg files in bridge.
    I work on a pc and right now I have to click on the nef file then ctrl click the jpg file then ctrl #(1-9) to rate both. It seems like a lot of work. When I use batch processing to rename my files it processes them both so i get a raw and jpg with the same name, so why not with labels?
    I'm trying to create an easy working flow to my folders and pictures. My camera settings are set to raw (nef) and jpg. I like to have access to both incase i need to send out a jpg etc etc.
    Can someone point me in the general direction on how to keep my workflow clean and simple and how to affect both files, because this is becoming really tedious!
    Thanks

    Well, first of all, it seems to me that you are creating a lot of extra work for yourself by creating your NEF and a JPEG. If any adjustments have to be done then you have to apply to those adjustments to two different images rather than just one. I think it's going a little far, personally, to have a JPEG copy of every image "just in case" you need to send out a JPEG. Why not just create a JPEG from the NEF file when you need one? But it's your workflow and you can do what ever you want.
    Yes, I realize my second suggestion didn't solve the problem. But the problem cannot be solved with Bridge, at least the way it is right now. You have to select the images that you want rated. It just seems to me that your are compounding your work by creating both images all the time. If you have a certain need where you need to produce JPEG images in a hurry for someone, I can understand using the feature. But when it is so easy to create JPEG images that have all of the adjustments, I don't understand the need to have a duplicate JPEG of every image. Again, it's your workflow.
    You might speed things up a little bit by going into your Bridge preferences and fix it so that you don't have to hold the control key when applying star ratings. Then you can just hit the number and then the arrow keys to move to the next one.
    Another very simple method of creating JPEG copies is to use either the Image Processor or Dr. Brown's 1-2-3 processor, which is a free download from his website. Again, I just think you are creating a lot of work for yourself by having JPEG copies of every image. Unless you are an absolute masterful photographer who never has to make any adjustments to your images, you are doubling the amount of postprocessing required. I promise, I won't interfere in this one anymore.

  • RAW to JPG file conversions too small?

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to CS3 from CS so I'm now using Bridge/ACR to convert my RAW files to .JPGs. What is puzzling me is, if I open one or more RAW files in Bridge, make some adjustments (usually WB, exposure, etc.), then use the Save Image option within Bridge to save the image(s) as .JPGs, I am getting very small file sizes (I'm using the Max Quality setting in Bridge, which is 10). For example, a RAW file goes from 6.5MB to 1.2MB. However, if I open the RAW file in Photoshop instead of Bridge/ACR, make adjustments, then save as a maximum quality .jpg, the file goes from 6.5MB to 4.5MB. My concern is that when using the batch/save option within Bridge I'm losing quality somewhere?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    FTP

    Hi Omke,
    Thank you for sharing your workflow--very generous and quite interesting.
    Yesterday, I barged into an Adobe Forums thread similar to mine and I discovered the reason for the file size difference, it's the 10 setting you get when you select Maximum Quality from the Bridge Save Image dialogue box. Bridge, like PS, actually goes to a 12 quality setting, but you have to type in the 12 manually (a curious requirement) rather than selecting the Max Quality option, which always goes to 10. Once I manually typed in 12, my Bridge-converted (RAW to .jpg) files became precisely the same size as when I convert them using PS.
    Here's a link to the thread:

  • Images as RAW and jpgs - how to separate?

    I shoot both RAW and jpg, that way I have the RAW for detailed editing, and the jpg for quick edits to post on web, as required, or to send a quick copy to friends.  I will probably stop this (shooting both) when I get used to editing RAW, but that is part of my evolution and growth in developing my skills in my digital darkroom.
    When I first started with LR, I was using the Beta 2 version and simply imported my PS Elements 8 Catalog and that worked okay, because both versions of the image were imported so that I could see both of them and then pick the image I wanted for further editing.  I have now upgraded to the new, full version of LR3 and have just downloaded my first set of images from a weekend of shooting - went looking for bluebirds and only found one nesting box with an active pair in it.  I will go back for more in a day or so - more images that is.  It is strange how the population of nesting bluebirds in my part of the Western Prairies has declined significantly in the past five years, but that is a whole, different story,  Anyway to proceed...I downloaded the images from this afternoon's shoot and found that the RAW image (Canon - CR2) and the jpeg show as one image with a title that says IMG_xxxxx.CR2+jpg.  I would like to be able to break the two different images out, or at least get at each one separately for editing purposes.  For the life of me, I cannot figure this one out.  I am still waiting for Kelby's LR3 book that I pre-ordered...maybe this week.  Not sure if that will tell me how to do this, assuming I can.  If I can't do this, then I will have to import into Elements 8 and then re-import that file into LR3 - a process I would rather not have to do.
    Any insight that anyone can provide on how to do this (I assume it can be done) will be greatly appreciated.  Maybe it is something as simple as a "switch" on an import preset, or setting up a "custom" import preset (if there is such a thing). Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    WesternGuy

    Susan, thanks for the insight.  I think I will follow your lead and delete the images from my catalog and re-import them.  Hopefully I can find the options that you have noted.  It would be nice, though, if there was a way to break them apart after loading, but at least I don't have too many to redo.
    Regards,

  • When I import TIF and JPG files with same metadata, only the TIF files are imported. How can I change that?

    I have imported and renamed TIF and JPG files with the same metadata re recording date and time. Only the TIF files are imported, the JPG files remain unimproved. Thus I have in the Finder e. g. 13 image files in the same folder in which Lightroom only finds 10 files. Any ideas for resolution welcome!
    Thanks

    Turn off the option Preferences > General > Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos.  Then do an import again.  It appears that, in this instance, LR considers a TIFF to be a "raw" file.

  • Aperature will not dispaly raw and jpg imports

    Using a Cannon Digital Rebel XT I shoot raw and jpg images simultaneously. Up until Aperature 1.5.3 I could import both raw amd jpg images. For some reason I now can only import raw images. For example, when I import the same compact disc to I Photo I import 88 images, half raw and half jpg. Now when import the same files to Aperature I get 44 raw images. I have tried trashing the preferences file with no success.
