Bridge CS6 - How to rename 50,000 RAW Files?

Hi Folks,
Let me just say this, so I can get it off my chest ... Adobe why on earth did you make these forums the most maddeningly formatted I have ever used. Not intuitive at all and needlessly complicated and precious. I thought you guys were good at this stuff?
Whew ...
I have about 50,000 raw files all rated, labeled and keyworded. They are in about 450 folders but the numbering of the files is just whatever my particular Canon camera of the day had at the time. I'd like to change the filenames to my initial and last name, date (YR,MONTH,DAY), a number from 0001-9999 (for that particular date) and a two letter suffix.
For instance:
fguy_120109_0001_SF.CR2
The question is, is there some way to automate this without having to go to each folder separately, select all the files and rename? Can this be automated? Otherwise thats 450 folders to deal with.
Suggestions please.

Bridge CS6 not generating correct thumbnails for RAW files

I'm running Bridge CS6 (the latest version, 5.0.2.4) on a 2013 MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.1) and suddenly as of today Bridge is no longer updating the thumbnails for my RAW files. All other image and video file formats are having thumbnails generated but not my Nikon NEF raw files including those which I have previously worked on in ACR. I have tried purging the entire cache, restarting Bridge and even rebooting my computer and still the raw thumbnails are not being generated.
Any advice would be appreciated thank you.
Eric
Actually I've just noticed that thumbnails for jpegs are not being generated either. A thumbnail is only generated if I work on a file in Photoshop and then save it.

Check you cache disk free space. You should have at least 15%. For a 700g drive that that 100g free.
Have you reset preferences? Hold down option key and start bridge. You will get a reset window.

Is there a solution to Adobe Bridge CS6 not being able to read raw files from the 5D Mk lll

I like to use Bridge as my overall file organizer. I operate on a Mac version OSX version 10.8.3 and cannot read my raw files in bridge cs6. Does anyone have a solution for this.
Also is Canon putting any pressure on Adobe to fix this?

Not bridge but camera raw. You'll need to update your camera RAW.
You can either do it directly in Photoshop, or you can download it here: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html
At the bottom, there is a link to download Camera Raw 7.4 for Mac and WIndows. Adobe hides there link from their main site to force people to update via Photoshop update feature.

Photoshop CS6 - How to export form Camera Raw to Jpeg of 300dpi?

Photoshop CS6 - How to export form Camera Raw to Jpeg of 300dpi?

What does your package include besides this disc?
If your artistry and production are at a high-level and you are charging tens of thousands of dollars then protecting your reputation and future-sales possibilities by not giving them a disc might be wise, but if you just want to be done with things after you get paid, then a disc or flash-drive of native-resolution (not resized) and uncropped JPGs might give the most freedom for the client, although if I was your client, I’d want the RAWs or at least DNGs with your settings saved to them. If there is enough space on the media then you could put a folder of JPGs and a folder of TIFs, separately. It depends on how many you’re giving them. If you’re high-end you could give them an Wi-Fi iPad with the photos on it, or at least a non-Apple tablet with a removable flash-card for more easy offloading.

How do i open a raw file in lightroom

how do I open a raw file in lightroom?

Yes, those are good links, but let's clean up the terminology too so we're all talking the same language.
There is no "open" in Lightroom when referring to photos.
You can "import" photos into Lightroom ... this means that now Lightroom has registered the photo's location and other pertinent information into its database, but it does not store the photo itself in the Lightroom database (or anywhere else in Lightroom), so Lightroom never contains your photos; the photo continues to be stored on one of your hard drives, wherever you want it to be, and the file is visible in your operating system.
Once you have imported the photos, then Lightroom can perform tasks on the photos, such as Develop, Print, e-mail or upload, etc. and once you have imported photos into Lightroom, you should not move or rename or delete them outside of Lightroom.

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

I have reinstalled cc and vhen i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014. How kan i connekt my raw files to CC2014

I have reinstalled cc and when i want to open a raw-fil the picture opens in PS CS5 insted of in CC2014.
How can i connect my raw-files to CC2014?

You should have Bridge CC installed for CC 2014.
In Windows, right-click on a raw file, and select "choose default program". Photoshop CC 2014 should be listed. Select it. "Always open this file with this program" should also be checkmarked.
If CC 2014 is not on the list, look for the Browse button at the bottom and go to Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and click on the Photoshop CC 2014.exe to choose it and add to the list.
In Bridge CC Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations, look for your raw file type (CR2 or Nef) and select Photoshop CC 2014 deom the drop-down menu.

Anyone know how to write to a RAW file format?

Hello,
Been trying to find out if there is any way to write a RAW format file from an array containing pixel values? Do I just use a file writer and save as *.raw?
Also, what information must I include beyond the pixel values?
Thanks!

Well, I had found those already and they weren't of
too much help to my problem (how to actually create
the RAW file), but thanks.I'd imagine that you'd create the RAW file according to the specifications provided. The links provided give you information as to the format of the RAW file. In order to actually create the RAW file, you'd simply spit out the properly-formed data to a file (see a tutorial such as "Lesson: I/O: Reading and Writing (but no 'rithmetic)" for more info, if needed).
What additional help are you looking for?

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor. I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
Thanks for your help!!!

Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 I have Photoshop CS5. How do I open its RAW files?

Since photoshop cs5 can't use past the camera raw 6.7 plugin and that camera requires at least the camera raw 7.1 plugin, you could use the 8.7.1 dng converter
to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.

How can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

how can I work the raw file from Canon 5D MkIII in Photoshop Elements 9?

You can download the 7.1 DNG converter to make copies of your canon raw files in the adobe dng format, which can then be opened in pse 9.
As said above the the latest camera raw plugin 6.5 for pse 9 won't open those files directly, but will open the the converted dng files.
