Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
Can't it be done easier???
I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
Thx.

1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.

3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again

  • I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

    I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever.  I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw. 
    I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch.  In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
    Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
    To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
    However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
    Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

  • Inconsistent Previewing Raw Files in Bridge

    About two weeks ago, without warning, I was no longer able view my raw files in bridge. The strange thing is, when looking at raw files from a CD in bridge, it will give a preview of about 75% of the files. I am running leopard on my MAC OS X 10.5.4, using CS3, 1) always updating when it needs to be 2) i have reset all my preferences in bridge. Has anyone else run into this problem? Cheers

    This sounds to me like you installed the updated plug-in incorrectly.
    It's a common mistake to pick the wrong plug-in folder when copying Camera Raw. Unlike Photoshop plug-ins, plug-ins which work in Bridge must be installed in the 'Common Files' directory branch. On my computer, Camera Raw (Camera Raw.8bi) can be found here:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CSx\File Formats
    Similar Photoshop-only plug-ins are located here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSx\Plug-ins\File Formats
    Note that they are similar but different, and consequently quite easy to confuse. Also note that you should ONLY HAVE ONE copy of 'Camera Raw.8bi' installed (or two if you're running 64-bit Photoshop). So, if you previously installed the update in the wrong place, you should remove it, and put it in the correct place.
    Hope that helps.

  • I can't  preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. Help!

    Hi, I want to know why can't I preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. It's really frustrating as an increasing number of Illustrator files are saved in this format and I need to check through a gazillion of them. Help!

    Thanks for the promt reply Omke!
    That was the reason why the thumbnail icons weren't showing up in Bridge. Saving to include XMP data somehow brings in the previews in Bridge.
    I don't really need SVG files for print jobs (prefer .eps or .ai), however this appears to be the preferred file format at the picture library where I bought the vector images.
    Darn, I was hoping that was not the solution, as in order to view the images in Bridge, I will first have to open and  re-save them.
    Seems painful but thanks all the same. Would there be a way in Bridge to batch open and re-save files in another format, say from .svg to .ai ?

  • Can't open raw files in bridge from canon 70d

    I am a windows user, and I've updated my camera raw to the most current available...6.7. But when trying to open raw files in Bridge it says that my camera model is not supported by the current software. What else should I do?

    Which version of Camera Raw do you use (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw) and which one is needed for that camera?

  • Can't access Raw files in Bridge CS3

    I have recently had to purchase a new computer (Acer) and have re installed CS3.  When I open Bridge none of RAW files are showing and bridge doesn't say I can open any images in RAW.  I use windows XP
    I have dowloaded the ACR4.6 from the Adobe and believe I have installed it correctly.
    The Acer machine is a Veriton M670 and has a Intel Core 2 processor.
    I hope someone can help me.

    I assume you mean folder (directory), not "file".
    Make sure that folder is completely out of the way of the path to Photoshop, nowhere near your application directory.  Either put it in your Documents folder or delete it.

  • Can't open raw files in 32 bit CS4

    Am using Vista 64 bit OS and because I recently purchased Nik Software's Complete Ed was necessary to change from initial set up of PS CS4 64 bit to 32 for their usage compatability. Had Camera Raw 5.0 on 64 bit version, copied camera raw 8bi plug in file format and placed in correct file format folder for the 32 bit version of PS. ...sounds easy enough...but when I attempt to open a raw file in PS or bridge it will not open and get message - Could not complete your request because of a program error.  Camera raw does show up and only once under the About Plug In submenu. Have tried Purge Cache option. Can still open raw files as always in 64 bit version, save and reopen 32bit version to continue but hoping for solution to eleminate that hassle. Thanks for your needed advice!  

    Plugin's have to be rewritten for a 64-bit environment so copying the 64-bit ACR to the 32-bit folder won't work.  You need the 32-bit version of ACR in the 32-bit CS4 folder.
    I'm not sure if the ACR 5.6 updater will work to update both versions, or if you need to download and install the plugin's manually. 
    You can get to the manual install ZIP by following the PSE link near the top of the regular ACR 5.6 page linked on the updates page:

  • Can't open RAW files

      I’ve had Photoshop CS3 for Windows for several years.  I recently bought a Sony DSC-RX100 and  just shot raw (ARW) for the first time and cannot figure out how to open the files in Photoshop.
    When I try to open a file in Photoshop CS3, the error message says "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." When I go to Photoshop help, it says “Select one or more raw files in Bridge and then choose file>open in camera raw.”
    When I open Bridge, and go to File> Open in camera raw is grayed out and not live. If I select one or more files, same thing, Open in camera raw is grayed out.
    When I go to Help in Adobe Bridge, it says I need to “Select Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge General preferences to open camera raw files in the Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge.” But when I go to Edit Preferences General, I don’t see where to do that. Similarly, when I go to Edit Camera Raw Preferences, I again do not see where to select that.
    I’m out of ideas! Can anyone help?
    It says this application requires Intel Pentium 4, Intel Celeron, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Core 2 compatible processor. I have Intel Core i5.  Could that be the problem? My computer is several years newer than my Photoshop.
    Thanks!

    Just dismiss the dialog that says that stuff about the application requirements.
    It must be a glitch in bridge cs3 and shouldn't cause any problems.
    I think you can just click Don't Show Again.
    As far as your camera, the Sony RX 100, photoshop cs3 won't be able to open those files directly since photoshop cs3/bridge cs3 can only be updated to camera raw 4.6 and the camera requires at least camera raw 7.2.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    So what you can do is use the 8.6 Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RX 100 files to dng copies, which then cs3 should open.
    (if you have windows xp or vista, then use the 8.3 dng converter)

  • Can't open Raw files after transferring CS5 to my new computer

    I just transferred cs5 to my new imac computer using my time machine backup. I now get a "photoshop does not recognize this file type" when I try to open a raw file from photoshop. When I try to open my raw files through bridge I get the message "you do not have permission to open the document. I have checked my permission preferences and have reading and writing permissions and updated to 6.7 ACR. I dont know what to do next?

    Curt,
    I have an imac OSX 10.8.2. So is the application folder the correct location for the CS5 folder? There is a lot of unclear information about this out on the web.
    Everything I loaded today has a CS5.1 name to it. I assumed that it was an updated version from my original CS5? If I click on the CS5 folder located in my user file it opens photoshop (probally means its not uninstalled... hum). I cant access it through utilities/adobe installers/uninstall CS5. So maybe I should do the Script cleaner like you mentioned? Or maybe CS5 and CS5.1 are the same program like you mentioned?
    When I follow the path to camera raw you mentioned I get to a photoshop raw "pop up" but ACR doesnt open up. Are you asking for me to locate the Camera Raw plug in folder or look for multiples of the file inside my plugins folder? Their isnt a ACR file in my CS5 file that I found in my user folder or the CS5.1 file in my applications folder. Where would I typically find it? Im having a hard time finding it at all.
    Im on my 2nd day of troubleshooting and Ive read so many articles and help threads. Ive had a call back order requested from adobe... Im still waiting 3 hours later. Im afraid they might just reject my request for help since I dont have CS6. You have by far been the best help Ive found. Thank you very much! If you can think of anything else to resolve this please let me know. Im so frusterated at this point... trying to be positive though, Im learning alot.
