Colours in Bridge/Photoshop CS3

After editing images in Photoshop CS3 (using a calibrated Eizo monitor S2231W) and viewing them in Bridge (whether PSD or JPG) in the presentation modus, the colours change a bit and become oversaturated when I change the presentation from "fit in" to 100%(by scrolling the mouse wheel). The same oversaturated colours appear also in other Windows viewers (e.g. Magix, irfanview). Of course I can use a different custom preset on the monitor when viewing the images on the monitor and reduce the saturation there, but the colour change will remain. So how can I see in Photoshop when editing and be sure what the colours will be like in a Windows presentation?
(PS- changing the colour settings in Photoshop did not help)
Thank you for helping! - Jochen

I'm also working on a stable calibrated system which I believe I understand, and I see the same colour shift when zooming a Bridge CS3 slideshow from "fit" to 100%, latest version, Windows Vista SP1 etc. It looks like the slideshow program is arbitrarily assigning Adobe RGB as a colour space for the RAW image which it's displaying, but only at 100%. That's odd as my working spaces are all sRGB on this machine.
I've tried various combinations of Bridge settings including the factory defaults. It makes no difference what the ACR colour space (in the XMP recipe) for that image is: I get the same effect for sRGB and Adobe RGB XMP settings.
The second post here seems to be about PS colour management in general; that's not the issue here, this is quite specific to the 100% zoom in Bridge Slideshow.
Looking at various jpeg test charts I can't make the shift happen; I get it only with RAW files (CR2, various different Canon bodies, all the same problem).
More investigation suggests that my Bridge's colour management is slightly broken more generally. That is, if I have an sRGB JPEG file without an explicit embedded profile tag, Bridge should display it as sRGB (see explicit section 2 from the sRGB standard here:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html). This isn't happening with a test image: it's apparently not colour managed at all. If I assign sRGB explicitly to the image and save as JPEG or PNG it displays correctly however.
Perhaps that's a clue to the 100% problem... does anyone else have any idea what may be going on here?

  • Lightroom 1.1 - Adobe Camera RAW 4.1 (Bridge, Photoshop CS3) problem

    Dear all,
    I am having some problems with the appearance of files developed in adobe lightroom 1.1 or in adobe camera raw 4.1 from e.g. bridge or photoshop cs3. When developing in lightroom the images look great, however when using acr 4.1 and the same xmp sidecar settings imported from lightroom, the image in acr looks very pale in comparison. For example when using the export into photoshop option in Lightroom, the image in PS3 looks very pale to the one in lightroom. The same problem persists with developing using ACR 4.1 from bridge. I have turned autotoning in ACR off. Also in the color management of PS CS3, the desaturate checkbox is UNchecked.
    I am using an icc profile for my 30" cinema display, calibrated with colory eyes pro and a spyder2.
    Has anybody had similar problems with ACR 4.1 or am I just doing something horribly simple wrong?
    Thanks for your help!
    Immanuel

    Thomas,
    thanks for your reply. In Mac OS X Preview the images look all good and very much like what I see in Lightroom. In any case not as pale or like with a slight white overcast to what I see when using ACR 4.1 from Bridge or Photoshop CS3. In PS color settings, preserving embedded profiles is checked. Yes, it seems to me as well that this is some color management issue. The 30" Cinema display was calibrated using Color Eyes Pro and Spyder2 to Gamma 2.2 and 6500 temp. However, even when reverting to the standard Apple color profile for the monitor, the problem persists.
    No luck so far...

  • Bridge/Photoshop CS3 Web Gallery Question

    Hi There, I have a question about the Photoshop cs3 Flash Gallery, particularly the flashobject.js file and index.html file.  Whenever I try and open the finished Flash Gallery HTML page, I get a message that says "Please upgrade your Flash player" and "Already have Flash player installed? Click Here."  Is there a way that I can remove that and just have it go to the Flash Gallery?  I notice that it says Flash Player 6 but that is an old version.  I am not very knowledgeable in javascript so any help would be appreciated.

    Ellen,

    I'm using this image found in the windows sample pictures "Annie in the Sink.jpg"
    as an example because it's small. If you use this action on camera size images,
    your system can really slow down.
    (click on the screenshots below for clearer views)
    1. Run the Vectorize Web Graphic part of the action. (i just left the gaussian blur
       at the default setting)
    2. Use a combination of adjusting the threshold adjustment layer and painting
       on the Dodge and Burn layer to get the black areas to cover the part of image
       you want. The black areas are the areas that will be included in the paths and
       white areas are exclued from the paths.
    3. Paint on the Dodge and Burn layer with the regular paint brush tool, not the dodge
        and burn tools. Painting with white removes the areas to be included in the paths
        and painting with black adds to the areas included in the paths. Set the default
        foreground and background (black and white) colors at the bottom of the toolbox by
        pressing the D key on the keyboard.
    4. You might have to stack the Dodge and Burn layers to get the results your after.
    5. Run the Make Path from Image part of the action.
    Final path and still kinda rough photoshop result and after copying the
    path to a new RGB color document and adding a color fill adjustment layer.
    If you have a recent version of illustrator, then you might try the Live Trace instead of this action.
    The tracing features in recent versions of illustrator are so much better than when this action was written.
    Added: it helps to duplicate your image before running any of the actions so you
                have a reference while painting on the dodge and burn layer(s).

  • Yet another bug in Photoshop CS3: Lab Colour Mode

    Using Photoshop CS3 Standard (english) on Windows XP SP2, I cannot switch to Lab colour mode. Or rather, I can, but the image will turn completely black. In the channels palette in Lab mode, there are four channels: L, a, b, and Lab. The three single channels obviously contain the correct data, and I can select each one and the display will show the correct greyscale representations of the L channel, the a channel, and the b channel. But it won't show the colour image of all channels combined, i. e. the Lab image; this will appear simply black instead.
    Fortunately, I still have Photoshop CS2 installed. So due to this and numerous other bugs (particularly the §@#!& printing) I am using Bridge 2.1 and ACR 4.1 but not Photoshop CS3. This application is just too buggy to get serious work done :(
    -- Olaf

    The exact same thing happened to me just 2 days ago. It was the first time I had ever tried LAB, in any version of PS, and all I got was the black box. I switched to my earlier version (PS7 in this case) and tried it, thinking that maybe my computer wouldn't support it for some reason, since it's several years old. PS7 displayed LAB just fine... I went back to CS3 (I had closed it down completely) and when it restarted - it LAB worked correctly, BUT all my preferences had been reset to default! So, I agree with the previous poster who commented that it may be a preferences thing. You should also check the color management settings in your earlier version & make sure the CS3 has the same settings. I have no idea if that made a difference or not, but I did notice that my CS3 didn't have the same color settings as PS7 did. Try resetting preferences to default, shutting down CS3 and restarting, and then check to see if CS3 will display LAB correctly.

  • Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

    I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer.  I activiated CS3 on the new computer.  However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

    Thanks, that worked.

  • Bridge buggy opening file in photoshop CS3

    I have totally uninstalled (removing every bit!), re-installed, deleted prefs ad nauseum. If I start CS3 from the application icon (yes it is still in the default folder where I installed it *again* yesterday) all is well. If I try to open a photo from Bridge by right clicking I get two choices: open in Photoshop 10.0.1, or open in Photoshop 10.0.1 (default)
    Why does the right click on either choice open a buggy problem? First I'm told the application moved (it didn't and deleting the prefs didn't help) then, whether I chose repair or not, it opens but tells me that all my filters didn't load and it lines my menu bar with at least a half dozen "onOne" menus. Then when I close I get the message that it quit unexpectedly.
    I just had to go through a long process (thank you Adobe for the knowledge base!) getting my license to work again. Now I find there is some kind of communication problem between Bridge and CS3.
    Maybe that's why Adobe stopped supporting older versions. The program has gotten too big and buggy?
    If I drag the file from Bridge to the opened Photoshop (from the application folder) it opens perfectly. Since I have a work around, this isn't crucial, but I really wonder if anyone can explain the communication bug? Not much chance I'll spend the money for an upgrade to CS4. Especially since support will stop as soon as CS5 comes out. CS3 is buggy enough for me.

    Anne, with all respect, I differ with you. It's easy to blame the user when problems happen. I happen to be paranoid about maintaining my computer and so far, after switching to my Mac, it is mainly Adobe programs that cause problems, no matter how careful I am. Of course I might avoid problems by never installing useful plugins (and sometimes it is the plugin that causes a problem). Possibly my installation of the OnOne plugins (I really love these) caused this problem with Bridge.
    Computers are almost essential; for me one main enjoyment in life is working with my photos. I usually can figure out my problems on my own --learned to do that when I was running Windose :-) but in all fairness there are quirks and bugs that are NOT the user's doing. I figure if I'm not having problems it's luck as well as being careful.
    Hoping you won't take offense. The few times I have visited the forums you have been kind and helpful.
    Ramón, I will be checking out the Bridge forums from now on. This discussion has probably run it's course. Thank you again.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Bridge

    I finally succeeded installing photoshop CS3. My problem now is Bridge is buggy the only mode that I can use is light table,when I change modes the interface breaks up and I have small broken up ikons every time I try to get a thumb nail to open. Photoshop seems to be ok. Lightroom works great and I never had any problems with PS CS2. CS3 beta worked great.

    I have installed Photoshop CS3, but it also installed other programs like Adobe Bridge, Device Central, Stock Photos, Camera Raw etc. I want to ask how can I uninstall them because I am using Photoshop only. And all of this other programs just take a lot of space on my HDD. Please help how to unistall them...!

    You are saving maybe 600 MB and Bridge is an integral part of Photoshop as is Camera RAW which is a whopping 23MB.

  • How to make Bridge CS4 compaitible with Photoshop CS3?

    (MacBook Pro, OS 10.5)
    After suffering many crashes and terrible performance of Photoshop CS4, I want to switch back to Photoshop CS3. But there is one thing that holds me - Bridge CS4 is so damn good, that I still want to continue using it. Unfortunately, Bridge CS4 doesn't have the Automation scripts that use Photoshop CS3, it only can run them with Photoshop CS4... If I remove Photoshop CS4, the Automation menu just disappears from the Tools menu in Bridge
    Please help, is there any way I can run those Batch automations on from Bridge CS4 on Photoshop cs3? I'm not a programmer, so please be more clear, if it involves altering some files...

  • Bridge won't open JPG files in Photoshop CS3

    I changed my preferences to remove the check-box "prefer Adobe camera RAW for Jpeg and TIFF files" , restarted Bridge and tried to open a JPEG from bridge directly into photoshop. But double clicking on the image in bridge opened "paint".
    So I change the Bridge preferences back to Prefer ACR for JPEG again, restart Bridge, and then bridge tells me that it cannot find Photoshop CS2. CS2 is not even loaded on this machine anymore.
    So then I go to the file type associations preferences and "browse" to the CS3 version of photoshop, restart bridge, and double click on a JPEG and it again says that CS2 cannot be found. I change the association again using the "browse" to CS3 and then it opens the image up in "Paint" again.
    Why won't Bridge open JPEG's in ACR anymore?
    Why won't bridge open JPEG's in Photoshop CS3 anymore?

    Bill, thanks for the reply. But I do not think that the file associations is the answer here. If I am using bridge to open files in ACR or Photoshop, I do not believe that I need to change the windows file type association. I have other PC's where the file association is not photoshop and bridge works fine opening these files. In fact, when using windows explorer to navigate JPG files, I do NOT want photoshop being opened to preview these images. On my other PC's, I can both preview JPG's using windows picture viewer, and open the JPG's via bridge in ACR. Furthermore, Photoshop CS2 is NOT the application listed for JPG's in the folder options in the control panel. So the problem that I have here has something to do with Bridge or perhaps something is corrupted int he files.
    The reason why I suspect a corruption, is that not all files behave in the same manner in bridge. Some files with the same extension open as I would expect, while others do not. I did not realize this fact when I made my original post.

  • How do I get Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3 to show and open camerea RAW files?

    I am not able to see or open Raw files from my Canon 40D in either Photoshop CS3 or Bridge CS3. At first I was able to open RAWS in Photoshop and then I followed directions on the internet at how to manually replace a Camera Raw Plugin so I could open it in Bridge and now neither of the apps work with RAW. In photoshop It says that the file is not supported.
    I looked up what plug in I needed and it said 4.2 for a Canon 40 D. I also followed the instructions in the read me file that was with the plugin download. No results from it. I even tried to switch it back to the old plug in to see if I could atleast get back the capiblility of opening it in Photoshop even though bridge was not working...still can't open it in either. What am I missing?

    You should install Camera Raw 4.6.

  • BRIDGE THUMBNAILS in Photoshop CS3

    Jose
    Do you have quick thumbnails checked or high quality? I use quick.
    Using your description (see only folders and metadata), and looking at my screen in Details here is what I see.
    When I click on Details I see a single column of thumbnails with metadata on the right side. In your current situation do you get any thumbnails? If I have the folder tree displayed I get just the icons, title, and date created and date modified.
    Could it be you are just looking at the directory tree rather than the folder with pictures in it?
    If nothing seems to work I would suggest you reset preferences by holding down Ctrl when starting Bridge. You will get a reset window. Choose all 3 options.

  • Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

    I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
    Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
    What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

    Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
    I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
    Thanks again.
