Different Menus in Bridge CS5 and Bridge CS 5.1

For some reason the Tools menu has options in the CS5 that are not available in CS5.1 of bridge. Why is that? I'm also missing startup scripts that are discussed in the help files? How can I get the menu commands that are in CS5 into CS5.1?
I have attached screen shots of my issues. Bridge CS5 versus Bridge CS5.1
Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Dear Omke,
Thanks for the advice but as I said before nothing seem to work :
first: I'm affraid there is no such thing as photoshop CS 5.5 :
"Photoshop users, rest easy—-there are no enhancements or new features in this update for Photoshop whatsoever, so Photoshop will remain at CS5, though there is a free patch so it will be able to connect to mobile apps that may be released in the future but just so ya know—-it is NOT a 5.5-level upgrade like the other CS5 products are getting." quote from the Adobe.com site.
I'm running Photoshop CS5 12.4.0 x 64 : as far as I know the latest photoshop version.
There is always just one version of bridge or photoshop open.
Bridge CS 5.1 came with InDesign 5.5. And InDesign 5.5 only seems to work with Bridge CS 5.1.
I already tried to copy the start up scripts for Bridge via computer (root level, not user account) / library/ application support/ Adobe /Bridge CS5/Startup Scripts  but there seems to be nothing in that file so I revealed the hidden files on my Mac but nothing showed up....
Now I notice that you suggest another path : computer (root level, not user account) / library/ application support/ Adobe /Start up Scripts CSxx.
But I don't see any Start up Script file in that location.
So I'm stuck.
I need to switch from Bridge CS5 when working with Photoshop CS 5 to Bridge CS5.1 when working with InDesign CS5.5.
That is not what I paid 749,-€ for !!!
If this was a restaurant dish with a bug in it, I would send it right back to the kitchen and have the restaurant closed for bad hygenic conditions !

  • Results are different when printing from CS5 and CS4

    A file that printed fine with Photoshop CS 4 printed very dark when printed with CS5, with no changes made to the settings. Has anyone else had this problem?

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Dimensions in inches do not match in PS CS5 and Bridge CS5

    Comparing the dimensions in inches between Mac Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5 show errors in Bridge's calculations.
    Example: PS shows in image size 30 x 16.891 inches. Bridge shows in Essentials that the file is 30.1 x 17.
    Is there a way to resolve the difference?
    Seems that the dimensions of the file would be exact in the Metadata Panel of Bridge, but it shows the same dimensions of the Essentials data below the preview.

    Well, I'm not necessarily suggesting it as a permanent solution, just a workable fix to get up and working again. Which is what I've always done - anything's better than those useless junk profiles that these manufacturers keep pushing down unsuspecting users' throats.
    But it's true, some calibrators really are "silly devices" and in some cases you really are better off using sRGB. I've accumulated about 8 or 10 different calibrators over the years but if you ask me now I only trust two of them. Both especially and exclusively made for the displays they're used on.
    Still, it never hurts to get into good habits early on. Your knowledge improves, your equipment improves, and you move on. The early takeaway for me was that it helped me understand what color management is and what it does - and where it does it. Pretty basic stuff, but nevertheless an important leap in understanding. A small step for a man and all that...

  • PS CS5 and Bridge not showing correct colors

    When I open up pictures in Photoshop CS5 and view them in Bridge, I see a really washed out color and the pictures look horrible. However, when bring them up in Pictureviewer or another application I see the correct colors. In PS the mode is set to RGB color like normal. Please help!

  • Bridge CS5 and indexing on a Server

    Maybe I'm way of base here, but I've used Bridge CS3 to successfully index files on a network server and it remembers the indexing (a library of stock photography) But now trying this with Bridge CS5 and each time I have a search (file or keyword) it starts to index the server from scratch, what is the dealo? Am I asking too much of Bridge should i be looking at a different solution, btw the server is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003,(which is a pain)

    property tPermissions : "777"

  • I am buying CS6 update. Do I uninstall CS5 and Bridge 5 first?

    I have CS5 and Bridge 5. (W7) Do I uninstall them prior to installing retail CS6 update?

    Thanks, Curt Y. I am inclined to uninstall CS5 and Bridge first, in view of your comments. I am not clear if the CS6 version of Bridge is different to the CS5 version. If the same I will leave Bridge as is. My photos are all backed up several times in W Explorer so not worried about losing anything. I assume the Bridge cache will re- poulate. Last point - I use TWAIN with 32 bit CS5 as I like its flexibility when scanning with my Canon scanners (35 mm to A4 with different dpi) I believe there is a new TWAIN plug in for CS6 32 bit. The old one in CS5 caused CS5 to crash if one used the "File, Automate, Batch" command so I imported in 32 bit and did the batch work in 64 bit - slightly inconvenient but WIA is not an answer and TWAIN is so nuch more convenient. If anyone could comment on this I would be grateful.

  • How can I download and install PCS5 (i have serial nu) when MacBookPro only shows Bridge CS5 and defaults to CS4?

    I may have inadbertenly deleted CS5 Photoshop in error or it never installed. I had a time when HD was 99 percent full so I started deleting CS3,4 etc Photoshop, Bridege. I remember downloading for this laptop the CS5 for Mac , Bridge, Raw, DNg all that but it was over a year ago.
    Download file shows unable to install CS5 Photoshop not all there (paraphrase). I cannot seem to find support at Adobe web site where downloads are available as long as they have your information. My information is all there.
    I don't understand the new Download Manager but i downloaded it and it seems to deal with creative suite and mobile apps.
    Do I have a conflict with my outdated unsupported Creative suite from pre intel Adobe I think CS7?   I was on phone for long time. the lady couldn't speak good english . She put me on hold after asking twice (two holds) if she could transfer me to tech support. then bumper phone is dead, i.e. i got cut offf. So am on phone again.
    Am almost 70 and do not want to buy a subscription for photoshop to edit when i can live with CS5 and i would like to upgrade LR to match CS5. Everything works on my IMAC since I paid for CS5. It is this laptop I having trouble getting CS5 Photoshop installed.  Do I have to agree to the free Creative Suite trial?  I don't want to shoot myself in foot, i.e. ruin chance to just keep using what I own.  I understand they want us all to pay a monthly subscription for all the applications we paid good money for to keep upgrading. Nice to be able to change rules after ownership.  I wish Adobe hadn't been bought up my sd;fans as it has gone downhill from their logos to their ruining apps like Word did with adding a zillion icons when we all know how to use shortcuts to choose Levels.  I hate the new format it is more confusing. I spent a lot of money learning and loving Photoshop.
    Please help . What do I do?

    Hi,
    I hate to say so, but I'm not far behind you in years. So anyway I'll try and help you out as a user and forum volunteer.
    So let's see if I can properly answer your questions.
    First off, never delete Adobe products on a Mac. You use the uninstaller found in the program folder. Photoshop CS5 for example,
    Use the CS Cleaner to get at those bits the uninstaller missed.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Here the direct download link from Adobe for CS5 Installers.  Mac included.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    If you do not have your serial number at the ready, go here to this link,
    https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html
    Sign in with the adobe ID and password you registered your products under.
    Under "My Products" You will see what you purchased and a triangle next to it.
    Click on that triangle to see your serial numbers.
    If it is an upgrade, get the serial number from the previous version while you are there.
    That should be enough for you to go on. Any further questions, I'll give it a try.
    Don't worry about Creative Cloud. Adobe might advertise it, but you decide if you need it.

    I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years.  When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but  the problem remains. Looking for help.  Dan

    Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge.  This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge.  At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu.  The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal.  This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts.  I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens.       And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5.  Thank you for your help.  Dan

  • Problem with Bridge CS5 and Tools Photoshop Batch

    When I select several images in Bridge CS5 and go to Tool>Photoshop>Batch and try an run an Action, I receive an error message asking for the Install disk. Bridge at that point freezes until I put in the install disk and then it runs the batch action fine.
    This is very annoying as I always have to have the disk in my DVD Drive.
    Any points would be welcomed.
    Thanks,

    Go to preferences/startup scripts and make sure there is a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop scripts.

    How  can I see the previews of my D610 in bridge cs5 and how can I open them in my CC photoshop?

    Nah. Raw support is version specific and that extends to Bridge as well. Older versions simply won't handle new cameras. If this is important to you, you will have to use Bridge CC.

  • Bridge CS5 and hierarchical keywords?

    Hi, folks.
    Just started using CS5 and I'm in the process of adding some keywords.
    I find that when I add a lower-level or subordinate keyword Bridge will not automatically add the upper-level keyword to go with it.
    For example, let's say I'm adding location-specific keyword data.  So, I add "San Franciscio" and I would expect "California" to be added because it's the parent keyword.  But this doesn't seem to be happening.
    Am I missing some button that says "automatically add parent keyword" or something?
    Thanks,
    Greg
    P.S. Oh, and for bonus points, any idea how I grab all the keywords in one image and apply them to another image?  Some sort of a copy-and-dump feature?

    That option is in edit/preferences/keywords.

  • I have Adobe Bridge CS5 and Output is blank

    Hi, I am supposed to be making a contact sheet using output in Adobe Bridge CS5 and when I go to output module is NOT working.  I contacted Adobe support and they said they couldn't help me but to come here.  Can anyone please help me?  I have an assignment that I need to get finished! 
    Thank you so very much,
    Heather Mullin

    Thank you Robert.  I just tried that and output still doesn't show up.  I haven't used Bridge since I got this version.  I think it is not there. I have heard of this happening in CC  and there are answers.  People have had trouble with CS5 as well but I can't find an answer.  Thank you for trying!  I appreciate it so much!

  • Keeping PS CS5 and Bridge CS5 after installing CC versions?

    I have downloaded and set up Photoshop CC and Bridge CC. Do I need to keep Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5 on my computer? Will I lose valuable items or functions isf I deletete them?
    Thanks,

    No you don't,but in the event you decide to unsubscribe or if there is a problem with CC,you will have something to fall back on. Unless you really need the space,it won't hurt to keep it around as backup.
