...can we save our collections from Bridge CS4 to Bridge CS5? Doesn't look

You can copy the CS4 collections to the CS5 folder, don't know for sure but
I think it only works when you are on the same system, collections are more
a kind of aliases from the original files and those aliases would not find
the originals on an other system.
The collections are in the user library:
User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4/Collections. In here are
the collection names with the extension '.filelist'.
You can copy those to the Bridge CS5 folder in the same location and that
should work.
And why won't Bridge CS5 let me open BridgeCS4, which i still have on
my laptop?
Don't know what you mean by open Bridge CS4 on your laptop whit Bridge CS5.
While you can have multiple CS version for PS open at the same time you can
have only one Bridge version active. By default the Bridge CS5 files open in
PS CS5, using right mouse click menu you can choose from open with: and
inhere is a list of all applications that are capable to open that file.

  • Collections and Smart Collections migrate from Bridge CS4 to CS5

    Please, any ideas of how to migrate my collections from Bridge CS4 to CS5.
    I have many collections and I have no clue of where they are stored or if they are. There must be some way to re-use them, otherwise is a feature that will bring problems on each upgrade.
    Thanks
    Marc

    @jerrymic, look in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4/Collections .  Copy all those files to "Bridge CS5/Collections".
    I just did that and restarted Bridge and all my CS4 collections appeared.
    Cheers!

  • Upgrading from InDesign CS4 to CS5.5

    How much would it cost to upgrade from InDesign CS4 to CS5.5

    There is no longer any official upgrade for any version of InDesign. The only offerings from Adobe now are Creative Cloud subscriptions (which currently provide access to both CC and CS6 versions), or purchasing a perpetual license for CS6, at full price, with the understanding that CS6 is considered "feature complete" and will not receive any further updates and may not work on the next OS releases or new generations of hardware.

  • How do I make a PDF Slideshow from Bridge CS4 with 500 images?

    Every year I go for an extended photo shooting trip. I use about 400 to 600 of the images to make a PDF slide show. This worked fine in all previous versions of Bridge, but no longer works properly in Bridge CS4. I can create PDF files with up to 329 images, but when I try to make a PDF file with more than that, the PDF file is corrupted. Sometimes, the PDF file opens, but about 10% of the image at random location are corrupted, and their thumbnails show up as white or black patches. At other times, the file does not open in Adobe Reader. I get a variety of error messages. The most common is #109.
    Just to be certain it is not caused by my images, I used 550 images I had used to make a PDF show last year with Bridge CS3. I get the same problem. The slide show created last year with 550 images in Bridge CS3 still works in Adobe Reader, ruling out the Reader a being the cause of the problem. It appears that some bug has crept into the CS4 Bridge code.
    Unfortunately, a while ago a deleted CS3 from my hard drives without making a copy of the downloaded dmg of CS3, so I can no longer re-install CS3. BTW, other than this bug, I am very happy with CS4. As a photographer, I find the improvements made in CS4 ACR stunning.
    Is there a known work-around for this bug?
    Is it likely to be fixed in an upcoming update?
    Is there a way I can download a copy of CS3 allowing me to install CS3 Bridge, or, if needed, the whole CS3 suite?
         (I still have a record of my CS3 registration code.)

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • Files opening in bridge cs4, not cs5

    I have all my graphics types associated with bridge, but they open in cs4, and changing the association (in open with...) does nothing.
    Maybe I should just uninstall bridge cs4?

    Afraid that I might be called a smartypants I still suggest a different approach.
    Personally I want my .psd-files to open in eg. Photoshop if I double click them from within Windows Explorer. Same with .indd/ai opening in InDesign or Illustrator.
    Therefore I've made a .reg file that contains this:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge]
    @="Open in Adobe Bridge CS4"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\cmd]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Bridge CS5\\Bridge.exe\" \"%L\""
    This gives me the possibility to right click a folder, sadly not a specific file, and have it "open"/previewed/organized in Bridge.
    Naturally this doesn't help your current issue with Bridge CS4 opening instead of CS5.
    Just wanted to give you a possible workaround.
    If everything else fails contacting Adobe Support could be an option...

  • Uploading from Bridge CS4 to smugmug

    Recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and cannont locate the option to upload from Bridge directly to my smugmug site as I could in CS3. What am I missing.

  • Open .ico files from Bridge CS4

    Hey all,
    I just got done reformatting my hard drive. After reinstalling my Adobe CS4 software, I can't open .ico files from Bridge -- before the hard drive reformat I COULD open .ico files from Bridge. I can open .ico files directly from Photoshop (I've got the telegraphics.com/au .ico plugin installed in Photoshop to open and save .ico files.)
    If I right-click an .ico file in Bridge and select "Open With" the only option is: COM Surrogate 6.1 (default).
    Looking at Preferences > File Type Associations, .ico file type isn't available in the file type list. Anyone know what setting or preference I need to change to open .ico files in Bridge?
    Appreciate your help,
    Brian

    Never mind... I closed Bridge by selecting File > Exit (instead of clicking the close button in the upper-right of the program window) and after restarting I'm able to open the .ico files.

  • Unable to Delete Files From Bridge CS4

    I am trying to delete file from bridge and all the sudden I am getting the message that I dont have permisson to delete file. I have done several troubleshooting methods and nothing works. Deleted prefs, cache, checked file permisions, repaired HD permissions, reset workspace, turned off startup scripts, etc..... Anyone had this problem or have any idea what may be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Colby

    Ok I can delete via bridge using a different user account. So its bridge/user
    account but not sure what the solution is. Would it be best to remove/install
    a new copy of bridge?
    I don't think reinstall Bridge is the solution. You might first want to try
    this:
    Quit Bridge, from user library preference folder delete the Adobe bridge
    plist file manual to the trash.
    Then restart Bridge again with holding down option key and from menu choose
    refresh preferences.
    Try again, if no luck then consider a better user check then only disk
    permissions.
    You can start with the original install disk from MacOs. Restart from this
    disk and start with a check and repair disk and check and repair disk
    permissions.
    You also might consider an other disk utility like Disk Warrior or Disk
    Tools Pro but they are not for free.
    If not the solution you might consider to migrate your user to a new
    account.

  • Can't batch files on network from bridge cs4

    Started having this problem a few weeks ago, up until then I have always been able to use Bridges Batch command to process images on our file server. Our file server runs Samba, and no user authentication is needed.
    If I use Bridge, and try to batch images that are on the server [Tools > Photoshop > Batch] then Photoshop gives me this error:
    "FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. - <no additional information available>"
    But, if I run a batch from Photoshop [File > Automate > Batch] then I can process images on the server fine.
    I can use Bridge to batch to Photoshop if those images are on my desktop/local disk.
    So the error happens when Bridge tries to tell Photoshop which images to batch, if those files are on the file server. I've tried different files that have been created at different times (years) and from different machines but still the same error.
    Not sure what has caused it, maybe an Apple update or something. We've  had that issue in the past when Snow Leopard couldn't write to Samba  drives because of the UNIX file name thing, but Apple did get around to  patching that. Maybe it's Adobe's way of trying to get us to upgrade to CS5..
    System Specs:
    iMac
    OSX 10.6.4
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
    4GB DDR3 RAM
    320GB HD
    Adobe Design Premium CS4
    Bridge: 3.0.0.464
    Photoshop: 11.0.2

    If I use Bridge, and try to batch images that are on the server [Tools >
    Photoshop > Batch] then Photoshop gives me this error:
    "FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be
    available in this version of Photoshop. - <no additional information
    available>"
    Without knowing anything about working on a network this problem usually is
    solved after having refreshed the preferences for Bridge. Have you already
    tried that?
    Restart Bridge holding down alt key and from the menu choose reset
    preferences. This brings them back to default settings so any custom
    settings should be reset again to your own wishes.
    The 10.6.4. update gave me a lot of problems with CS5 that temporarily have
    been solved by disable OpenGL for CS5. This update might have caused also
    this problem for you but that is not a certainty...

  • Output from Bridge cs4 not available.

      Bridge output to pdf and web are gone.
    Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Web Premium on Windows 7 64
    I cannot output (photoshop) files to pdf and web.
    Reinstall with the DVD doesnot help.

    I was just concerned that Bridge was not seeing folders like it should .  If it looks like the screen shot of mine I am almost out of ideas.
    But before you do that also reset the prreferences in Photoshop just in case.  For this start PS and hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift and you will get a reset window.  It is a little tricky and if you see the splash screen you are too late.
    If if worked before and you have made no changes there might be a file that got corrupted somehow.
    Just to be safe you might open the keywords pannel and in the dropdown box click on Export.  You can export you keywords list to a safe location just in case.
    If you have any special actions and stuff in PS you might save thoese also as Bridge is a part of Photoshop so you will have to reset everything.
    Good luck and hope you get it back in order.
