Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Adobe Bridge (CS4) and Camera Raw 5.4

I use a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and store in RAW-format.
The camera is updated with latest software etc.
I have the Adobe Design CS4 package on my computer and updated to the camera raw 5.4 version (bridge/photoshop/etc).
All this is updated to last versions / updates etc.
I upload my pictures from the camera to my computer.
When I inspect the files with the Canon software such as "Digital Photo Professional 3.6.1.0" or "Canon Utilities ZoomBrowser EX 6.3.1" (this are the latest versions and updates) the files are copied correct to my computer.
The files can be opened with the canon software without any problem and can be modified and converted and all normal operations can be performed.
The files can also be converted to ".jpg" and no problem occurs.
The problem starts after the folder with the pictures (in RAW-format) has been opened / viewed in Adobe Bridge or after Adobe bridge is started.
After starting and viewing with bridge the folder only some of the file become corrupted and cannot be used anymore.So the majority of the files remain OK but some files become corrupt.
A part of the picture is visible partly, the remaining part are lines, dots, squares etc and the divisions of correct picture and corrupted seems to be at random. There is no structure in the way the corrupted file are shown in bridge. Please look at the enclosed picture in this message.
The files can be opened in Camera Raw and Photoshop but they show the corrupted file and can be stored etc.
But the picture is destroyed.
Does anybody have a sollution or similar problems?
Best regards

There are forums for Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop.
Any of them would be better than posting here.

PSE 8 compatibility with Adobe Bridge CS 5 Camera Raw

I have Photoshop Elements 8 installed with Camera Raw 5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit platform. I recently purchased Photoshop CS 5 which came with Camera Raw 6.2. I think both products work well independently, with the exception noted at the end of this posting. Where I'm encountering an issue is when I use Adobe Bridge to access an image file for processing which invokes Camera Raw 6.2. -- the changes made to the file show up in Adobe Bridge, but are not observable when the same file is viewed in the Photoshop Elements Organizer. When I look at the file properties I can see that Camera Raw 6.2 updated the file and the updated date does appear in the file properties accessible through PS Elements Organizer. However, the items listed in the Camera Raw metadata are different in the two products (PS vs PSE). Since the sidecar .xmp files are a form of XML, I'm wondering if Camera Raw 6.2 is writing data in a structure that is not supported by Camera Raw 5.5? I've tried to update PSE Camera Raw to version 6.2 following the instruction that appear on line, but it does not seem to install. Durring installation there are no error messages, but after the "installation" PSE Camera Raw still shows version 5.5. I noticed this first when editing a large number of "legacy" .jpg files, but I also have concern when editing Nikon .nef files.
It's a bit hard to tell, but when editing .nef files in Camera Raw 6.2 the changes may migrate to PSE once I tell PSE to update the thumbnail view. But what I observed was a very distinct differece in file's visual appeared when viewed in Adobe Bride CS5 vs PSE 8 Organizer. The PSE 8 images had greater color saturation. This leaves me wondering what's going on.

On my Windows 7 64 bit system the original version of Camera Raw.8bi was found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements8\File Formats\ and had a size of 11,781 Kb shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties listed the size as (12,063,088 bytes). The digital signature was signed Thursday, September 03, 2009 3:34:37 PM. To the best of my knowledge this is the version that shipped on the PSE 8 disk which I installed in December 2009.
There is another copy of Camera Raw.8bi found in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\ and had a size of 11,856 Kb shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties list the size as (12,140,496 bytes). The digital signature was signed Friday, August 20, 2010 3:30:03 AM. This date post dates the installation of Photoshop CS 5 on my system so it must have happened through some (automatic?) update.
The Camera Raw.8bi file that I've down loaded from Adobe for ACR 6.2 is the same size and has the same signing date as the one identified immediately above in the CS5\File Formats\ sub folder.
When I copy the down loaded file into the Elements8\File Formats\ sub folder PSE still indicates that ACR is version 5.5
I also have a copy of ACR in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats\ with a length of 14,526 KB shown in Windows Explorer. The file properties list the size as (14,874,576 bytes) and the signing date as Friday, August 20, 2010 10:39:07 AM. I presume this to be the copy of ACR used by Adobe Bridge and Photoshop which I installed as a 64-bit application. Since the signing date (but not the time) is the same as the date for the file in CS5\File Formats\ I'm guessing that it is also the result of an automatic update to version 6.2.
Something that's not making sense to me is that the down load was approximately 50 MB and I'm messing around manually moving a 12 MB file into a specific sub folder.

ACR 5.x and Canon EOS 5D Mark II with FW 1.0.7 sRAW1/2

Hi,
is there a ACR update in the line for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II loaded

Canon 60D files can't be opened in Bridge (CS4 version); Camera Raw 6.6 has key features missing

I am a Mac user (latest OS) and had been using Camera Raw from Bridge CS4 (part of my Elements 8 bundle) to edit my raw pictures from Canon RebelXTi. I upgraded to a 60D, downloaded the pertinent Camera Raw plug-in, but my raw files still wouldn't open in Bridge. I purchased Elements 10, thinking that would solve all problems, but apparently Bridge and Camera Raw are no longer part of the package! I downloaded the latest Camera Raw patch for Elements 10 (6.6), and I can now open raw files from Photoshop, but the Camera Raw version is not full featured and Bridge still can't open my 60D files. How can I get the full version of Camera Raw back AND have my 60D files opened? I deleted Elements 8, but not Bridge, and I can still open raw files from my Rebel in the earlier full version of Camera Raw. When I check in Elements 10 preferences, only Camera Raw 6.6 shows up, so that should be correct. Any ideas?

The full-featured ACR with Elements loophole has been closed in the newer Mac Elements, I believe. Us PC folks never had Bridge with Elements or haven’t for many versions, already , so have already been limited in RAW processing with Elements. Adobe finally “fixed” the Mac version, too, I think.
For full-featured ACR and Bridge you’re supposed to pay for Photoshop. Perhaps Lightroom, that is half the cost of PS, and has all the adjustments of full-ACR and you could still link PSE as a final editor step of ACR-type adjustments aren’t enough.
An alternative is to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and then they’ll open in older versions of ACR, like the one that came with PSE 8, assuming you can still install that.

Help! error code 8 with Adobe premier cs4 and OpenGl

hey there,
i've been trying to work with adobe premier cs4 on my new Thinkpad w520 (i7 2720, 8GB, Nvidia quadro 1000m)
i keep getting this error messege regarding the OpenGl (error code #8) that lost connection with the display driver, after that its automaticly shutting down premier.
nvidia representive suggested me to download an old driver (268.71) instead of the latest one, still wouldn't solve the problam.
can anyone help me with that issue!?
jonny

hey jonygeron,
if you uninstall the current graphic driver , let windows install its generic driver .. can you get Premier CS4 to work ?

Bridge CS6 and Camera Raw

I am unable to open jpegs into camera raw through Bridge CS6. Camera Raw preferences are unavailable. I am using OS 10.9.2.

Did you recently update to camera raw 8.4?
If so, you need to replace the existing camera raw 8.4 plugin with the one from this link:

Adobe Bridge CS4 and Canon Rebel T3

I purchased a Canon Rebel T3 this week after my Canon Rebel XS died on me. Unfortunately, the T3 doesn't seem to be compatible with my CS4 Bridge when downloading images from the camera. It is unable to convert the files to DNG. Is there an update to CS4 that works with a Canon Rebel T3? From what I can tell, only CS5 will work with my camera, and that's not an option for me. In the meanwhile, I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter for my Mac, while useful, isn't as clean a process as the conversion happening within Bridge itself.
I've had a hell of a week with technical difficulties! Thanks in advance for your help.

I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter for my Mac, while useful, isn't as clean a process as the conversion happening within Bridge itself.
If you have used Adobe Updater for CS4 and have the latest ACR plug in for CS4 that is all you can do. If your camera is not supported (and since CS5 is more then a year ago released every new dSLR from then on is supported for the CS5 converters) you have two options.
first is to upgrade to CS5
second is to just use the free DNG converter as you do now. (have no ability to test but maybe there is little change Photodownloader will let you convert the files to DNG so just give it a try).
But after having used DNG Converter and point Bridge to that folder you are able to work with the files as you used to do (rename, sort filter and adjust in ACR CS4). If you can't use Photodownloader for ingestion of files it is just a bit more work to get the same results in Bridge but it is possible

Disk IO efficiency in Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw 6.0

After watching Microsoft Process Monitor (ex-sysinternals) while processing a large batch of DNG's that in Camera Raw were being converted to a different Process (2010 to 2003) and a different a different Camera Profile, I have the following questions:
Why read files in sequential chunks far smaller than we could? Why not 128KB or 64KB chunks for the DNG header read instead of 4KB? Why not at least 256KB chunks for the main DNG read?   Why not 32KB chunks for the Camera Profiles, if we're going to read them over and over at all?
Why read all the profiles for every single photo, when we can possibly use at most two (the original one, and the new one), and more often only one? More to the point, if we're working on a large batch of photos on a machine with 6GB of free RAM, I would suggest loading them into RAM and leave them there.
Why multiple Create/Close sets on Defaults\Preferences during large batch processing?
Why so many CreateFile...CloseFile sets for the same main DNG file; we're operating on the same file through this process. Why close it when we're just going to open it right up again?
Summary over one file's processing
00:49:58.72 CloseFile A
00:49:58.72 Mess with Defaults\Preferences.xmp
00:49:58.72 CreateFile B
...               ReadFile B in 4KB chucks out to just past Offset 167,936
00:49:58.72 WriteFile B - write 11,187 bytes at Offset 780
00:49:58.72 CloseFile B
...               Mess with some Adobe\CameraRaw\Database CreateFile, ReadFile, CloseFile stuff for very little time.
00:49:58.72 CreateFile B
00:49:58.72 ReadFile B in 64KB chunks out to just past Offset 19,165,184
     00:49:59.12 The last ReadFile; essentially, reading at ~45.84MiB/s for 0.4 seconds
00:49:59:12 Start reading all the CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard\Canon EOS 50D xxx.dcp in 4KB chunks for 55-110KB or so: the order is Adobe Standard, Camera Faithful, Camera Landscape, Camera Neutral, Camera Portrait, Camera Standard,
    00:49:59.13 The last ReadFile for the profiles
00:49:59.13 CreateFile B
00:49:59.13 ReadFile B in 4KB chunks twice, at Offset 0 and Offset 53,248
00:49:59.13 CloseFile B
...               Mess with some Adobe\CameraRaw\Database CreateFile, ReadFile, CloseFile stuff for very little time.
    00:49:59.13 Last CloseFile on the above
??? CPU use, I assume
00:49:59.78 CloseFile B
    ??? The previous operation on B appears to also b a CloseFile. I assume I'm failing to interpret Process Monitor; I must have missed an operation.
00:49:59.78 CreateFile, CloseFile on Defaults\Preferences.xmp - Read Attributes
00:49:59.78 CreateFile Cache\Index.dat
00:49:59.78 ReadFile Cache\Index.dat in 4KB chunks then write it in 4KB chunks, about 24KB worth
00:49:59.78 CloseFile Cache\Index.dat
??? CPU use, I assume
00:50:01.40 CreateFile B
00:50:01.40 WriteFile B in 256KB chunks
00:50:01.42 CloseFile B
00:50:01.43 Another Read Attributes Create/Close set on Defaults\Preferences.xmp
00:50:01.43 CreateFile C
repeat pattern
Total: 2.71 seconds.
The sum of the two long ??? CPU segments: 2.27 seconds
The time not part of the two long ??? CPU segments: 0.44 seconds, or about 20% of the total for that file.
Of that, changing the main DNG file read from 64KB chunks to 256KB chunks could have reduced that 20%, to about .35 seconds. On a batch of 1000 photos, that's a savings of almost 6 minutes. A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there, and pretty soon you're talking about real time.
Note that SQLIO, with an outstanding IO queue of only 1 (as this appears to generate), with only 1 thread, dealing with only one 4GB file, for 120 seconds, rates the SSD which stores the DNG's at:
4KB: 48.10MB/s
64KB: 173.85MB/s -- much, much faster
256KB: 222.95MB/s -- still significantly faster than 64KB
While my SSD doesn't take up much more time doing the smaller reads, slower or more heavily used drives will make the lower efficiency more visible to the end user, particularly for batches.

I don't know the specifics, but keep in mind this software is built to work on multiple completely different operating systems. There might be some "minimum common denominator" stuff going on.

Bridge CS3 and Camera Raw

Hello, I have Bridge CS3 that came with Adobe Web Standard that I bought when I have doing web design. I also have Photoshop CS that I use for my camera digital editing. At a camera club today they were using Bridge and Photoshop CS5 to show what it can do. The man completing the demo said that Camera Raw was inbuilt into Bridge and that I should have it. I've been using Adobe DNG convertor for my RAW editing as I didn't know nothing about Camera Raw but seeing it in action and how much better it is over the DNG I want to use that instead.
I've searched high and low for Camera Raw on my PC but I cannot find it. I've tried downloading it from here but it says No and to quit.
My RAW files have the .DNG extension if that makes a difference.
So, am I missing Camera Raw and if so, how can I get it :?:
Thanks

Bridge CS4 HATES Camera Raw 5.2, refuses to play

I've been dealing with this issue for a week now with no success.
Bridge will not open raw files in Camera Raw. period. Bridge will show raw image thumbnails, but I keep getting that annoying "Camera raw editing is not enabled" dialog box when I try and open them. I get the dialog when I try and access the preferences through Bridge as well.
I've tried everything I can think of:
- Opening PS CS4 ACR first, then clicking the Bridge button to launch Bridge. I've also tried opening an image and editing it first in PS.
= Made sure that ACR was installed in the correct location. It is, because PS ACR works, and Bridge obviously recognizes the plug-in.
- Tried raw files from different cameras.
Completely installed both Photoshcp and Bridge AND erased my harddrive. I am and was using OSX 10.5.5
- Created another user. Interestingly (I think), PShop and Bridge didn't work at all with Camera Raw. The Camera Raw plug-in was installed in the right place, but the permissions were locked for the file for this user. I tried to change them in the GET INFO box, but it didn't help. I had to download the ACR fresh from Adobe and erase the other one to work with this new user account. And no, after doing that, Bridge still would not open ACR files. Going back to my real user account, I had to erase the ACR file and do the same thing, because now the permissions for THIS user were locked.
- So, I tried to repair permissions on the entire system next. It fixed a couple things that had to do with Quicktime.
Now I'm back to square one. It seems like this might be a unique problem to me, but I have seen other forums that include people on both PC and Mac with this same problem. Their fixes do nothing for me though.
Are there any genius relationship experts that can get Bridge and ACR to be friends again?!
Thanks

Philip,
 
 It's perfectly OK to have one copy of ACR installed in the correct folder for each different version of Photoshop you have installed.
 
 I have every version of Photoshop from 7.0.1 through 11 ("CS4") happily coexisting on my machine, and ACR 2.4, 3.7, 4.6 and 5.2 in its corresponding folder.
 
 


However

, and that's a big
however, the only two instances of
Camera Raw.plugin shown in your EasyFind are
definitely in the wrong place!
 
 According to the path shown in the
Where column, you have one loose on your Desktop and another one in a wrong Camera Raw folder, where it shouldn't be.
 
 This is what a similar EasyFind search yields on my machine:

Hex core efficiency in Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw 6.0

Conclusion: Batch processing of files in Bridge CS5/Camera Raw 6.0 is limited by an unknown factor which I currently believe to be software design and/or software implementation. While performance on a dual core would be more or less CPU bound, and on a quad core would use the bulk of the available CPU power most of the time, on a hex core machine the CPU is woefully underutilized; i.e. I could be doing the same work in substantially less time.
Suggestion: At the very minimum, allow the option to have Bridge/Camera Raw process N (where we choose N, given that a dual socket motherboard will be able to have 24 cores in the very near future) files simultaneously, so we can tune our own systems for the disk IO vs CPU bottlenecks we each have. At best, automatically keep the CPU(s) running all cores at or near peak all the time, or until you run out of disk IO bandwidth.
Observations taken with the Windows 7 Resource Monitor and the SirReal G15 keyboard applet
Camera Raw Batch actions:
When I select a number of photographs (I typically select scores to hundreds), either fresh RAW files from a Canon 50D or existing DNG's converted with prior versions of Photoshop, and apply some change to all of them (for instance: changing from the 2003 Process with ACR 4.6 camera profile to the 2010 Process with the Camera Neutral camera profile, I see very tiny sections of disk IO (not exceeding 20MB/s on a high end SSD), no hard faults/s in memory, no real network IO, and CPU follows a very distinct pattern, with about .75 to 2 seconds at each of the following CPU levels, in sequence:
18 (one core plus a bit)
70-88 (5ish cores)
18-23% (one core plus a bit)
45-55% (about 3 cores)
repeat
A very important feature for me, Bridge CS5 Preview Extractions on a new folder show 33-45MB/s of disk activity, and a solid, exact 25% (1.5 cores) of CPU with dips to 19% or so. This very clearly indicates that the Preview Extraction feature isn't able to use most of the cores in my processor.
Build: a new build computer (Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H rev1.0, BIOS F6) with an AMD Thuban 1090T 3.2Ghz hex core (running 5% above clock, FSB change to 210Mhz from the 200Mhz default, Prime95 stable for days), with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and all Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop cache and files running on an OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD. OS is Windows 7 64-bit. OS level page file is completely disabled.

Is it possible you're overwhelming the main memory bandwidth by the fact that you are working on (multiple) large images? Multi-core machines can only work on as much data as they can get from/to memory, and what you're doing is kind of flushing data right through the cache. I'm less familiar with the AMD architecture, but doesn't the concept of 6 cores on one chip mean that they ALL share one main memory buss? This could be a case where given the task, more cores is not better.
It may also very well be that the entirety of Photoshop, which is at its core a relatively old application (architecture-wise), is not programmed to use multi-threading as well as it might be. Getting multi-threading to work right in an application is no picnic. And don't forget, this software is crafted to build and work in two widely different environments (Mac and PC) and so may not be able to use all the fanciest features of any one of those two realms.

Troubles with auto update mechanism and Camera Raw 7.3 update

Greetings,
Attempted an update using the update mechanism from Bridge. CS6 Design Premium on Mac. Received a couple error messages when it completed. Foolishly I did not write down the details. I thought I could just run the update again. When I attempted this, received mesage saying I was updated. But when I use Camera Raw plug-in within Bridge, it says I am still using version 7.2...
How may I attain a sucessful Camera Raw 7.3 upgrade?
I also use Lightroom which sucessfully upgraded,to 4.3 (with Camera Raw 7.3), but I often too use the Camera Raw Plug-in from within Bridge and would like to be on the same 'level'.
I thank you for any insight.
Best regards,
Alan

I updated CR to 7.3 yesterday and had nothing but problems after that. When I opened a photo in CR, it still showed 7.2 even though I got a message that said update successful. I had lots of problems using bridge which caused my computer to freeze. Using Mozilla Firefox was also freezing. I had to actually use the "off/on" button on my computer tower to shut it down. I was unable to restart. Lots of problems. Finally used "system restore" to an earlier date (which wipes out all updates back to the date I chose), and that worked. NO more problems. I'm waiting a while before trying to update CR to 7.3.

IView Media Pro erases adjustments and ratings in Bridge CS3 and Camera RAW 4.2

OUCH! I seem to have lost about a day's worth of work. I rated and adjusted my Canon cr2 RAW files using Bridge CS3 and ACR 4.2. Then I used iView Media Pro 3.1.3 to add keywords. When I opened the files back up in Bridge CS3, my ratings and adjustements were gone. Actually, when I open the sidecar files in a text editor, I can see the adjustments, but ACR and Bridge can't read them. Anyone else seeing this? If so, how do you fix it or work around it???

Have you tried purge cache for folder?
iView Media Pro is now Expression Media 1, maybe this 'upgrade' works for you.
You know that you can add keywords and sets in Bridge as well?
