Full ACR + Bridge LE = a missing product ?

This could be the wrong subforum to ask (and Im sure someone will tell me), however, heres the story and the question:
Two of my kids (9 and 12 years old) are currently making their first steps in digital photography. So we tested different software for image processing, including Photoshop CS3, Lightroom and PS Elements 6. Purpose was to find something simple while still getting best possible results in the given context. Following are our impressions:
1.) ACRs ability to open Raw as well as JPG files was found to be very useful. In many cases, a separate Pixel-editor such as given with main Photoshop or PSE was not necessarily needed anymore (even though my heart is with the main Photoshop platform).
2.) Bridge was loved. Whereas LR and PSE soon got ignored due their Organizer and this DAM import/export thing. Ive heard that Mac users are more familiar which the procedure. However, were on Windowz boxes. We (I) expect a Browser to show the files in the given file structure as it is.
3.) ACRs functions were found to be too much reduced in PSE. Full ACR including e.g. the HSL tab etc. would be preferred.
Anything in the pipeline (or anything missed) which could be called Full ACR + Bridge LE (light edition), while running on Windowz ?
Please note that this is not a question about pricing and getting the best for least money. If it costs as much as (lets say LR), so be it.

Hi Peter,
Just a comment on your LR import/export issues. I agree and dislike the way it requires importing images, but I've got a work around that is semi-satisfactory (for me anyway).
I've imported a single folder at the top level, under which all my own folder structure is organised. When I have added images to this structure I "synchronise" the top level folder, which basically just imports the new images into the LR database.
It's far more time consuming than it should be (especially as the folder grows bigger), but atleast it means LR sticks to the folder structure that _I_ want, and it's not as tedious as manually importing each new folder.
For me, the editing abilities of LR are good enough that a trial of PS (and PSE) sat idle because I never needed to edit in it.
Hope this helps,
James

Bridge File Names Missing

Bridge (CS5) is missing many of the file names to many folders. Oddly, it's only some of them. And there appears to be no rhyme or reason as to why some would have names, while others don't. Secondly, for those file folders without names, there's no way to rename the file folders. When I right click to rename the folder, there's no option for rename. I can create a new folder but can't name it. Thirdly, the folders that do have names are encased in a black tag, which I don't like.
I've tried the usal rememdies, i.e., turning my computer (I use Windows 7) down and changing from my custom bridge worksace to essentials to filmstrip. Nothing helps.
Any ideas on how this can be resolved? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.

Purge Cache, see if that will help.
You will find the option under Tools.
There is a seperate forum just for the Bridge:

Missing products

Hi,
I need to display products (5 core) if my customer's currently do not have them... (to elaborate more, if they have any 1 of them then I need to display 4, if they have 2 then I need to display 3 and so on)... Please advice how to do it...
I am facing a chellenge to write an sql, plus, need some advice as how to display it...
Thanks

Amanda,
Let me use a scenario to provide you more details
I have a table with customer and product info... something like this
Table_A
Cust 1 Prod 1 $ x
Cust 1 Prod 2 $ x
Cust 1 Prod 4 $ x
Cust 2 Prod 1 $ x
Cust 2 Prod 2 $ x
Cust 3 Prod 2 $ x
Based on Table_A, I have an interactive report with a link to another report.... When the user click on the customer name, it takes it to customer detail report... where user get details on the individual customer... something like this
Cust1 1
Cust 1 Prod 1 $ x
Cust 1 Prod 2 $ x
Cust 1 Prod 4 $ x
<B> Issue 1... Query </B>
If you notice, cust 1 do not have product 3, I want to show that product... Twist is that I don't want to show the complete list of missing products, as in our company we push for certain products (most 5) I want to compare the list of missing products against these 5 products (which I do not want to store in the table too) and then show the ones which are missing...
my query would be something like this:
select a.prod from table _A a
where
products not in (select b.prod from table_A b where a.cust = b.cust) and
products in ('Prod 1', 'prod 2', 'prod 3')
<B> Issue 2... Display </B>
I need some assistance as how can I show these products on the right hand side... a list with Bullets might work... can you please provide details as how to create a list of bullets based on the SQL

Burn Full-sized JPEG's option missing in new installation

I have been using 2.5 on my old XP box and it has been fine. I have just built a new Windows 7 PC and installed LR2.5 64 bit and have noticed that on file > export with preset the option to Burn Full-sized JPEG's is missing! Not there at all. Any ideas?

Are the other two presets there? Perhaps deleting Prefs (assuming you brought it over from the old)- might do it.

DV7 Notebook Sysytem Board (00A) Missing Product info at startup

Hello All,
When My Laptop ( HP dv7 ) starts up I get the error Sysytem Board (00A) Missing Product name, configuration, serial number and product number. My laptop does startup after that error message and appears to be fine except now, It will not connect to the internet with a hardwired connection. It will connect wirelessly though. I did check to make sure it was not the ethernet cable itself. The cable will establish a connection when I connect it to another computer.
Any help would be much appreciated and let me know if more information is needed.
Thanks!

This happens when it's sent in to HP for repair and the technician has forgotten to reenter this information. The BIOS chip is missing these things.
Other things that cause this are installing a preprogrammed BIOS chip or a bad BIOS flash.
The only way to fix this is to send it to the nearest HP authorized repair depot where they can enter the missing information.
The utility for this is not available to the general public.
Did you replace the system board ?

Full wave bridge rectifier error

Hello NI community.
Me and my college class have been having trouble with filtered full-wave bridge rectifiers in Multisim 11.0. I have not seen a post about this topic, if i am mistaken then please direct me to said post.
When i try to simulate a full-wave bridge rectifier with a filtering capacitor, Multi sim immediately throws me a convergence error. I have tried letting multi sim resolve the error, to no avail. I have tried using many different componoents and even pre-made parts from the FWB category. It has worked for me a few times but i have no idea what the differences were.
Also my entire class is having the same problem, not just me. I attached a photo of the schemtic.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated as we have lab practicals coming up.

There may be something with the simulation configuration as I drew your schematic (attached) and there were no issues. I just used whatever my configuration defaults to. In the future, you may want to include the actual design file and not just a picture since there is a lot of information that does not get conveyed with a picture.

ACR, Bridge, PS workflow

I'm enjoying working through Jeff Schewe's ACR/PS book and he has me pretty much sold on the ACR, Bridge, PS workflow.
Can Lightroom add significant benefits?
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Perhaps for printing. In a PhotoPro article* last November (2011) Jeff Schewe writes "let me disclose the fact that I'm partial to and perhaps a bit biased toward the Lightroom Print functionality."

My strain gauges (full Wheatstone bridge) give me a constant negative voltage

Hi, I'm currently trying to calibrate strain gauges to work with a one-axis tribometer...I'm using XP, LabVIEW 8.5.1, have the latest version of NIDAQmx and SignalExpress 2.5.1. Right now the strain gauges are hooked up to a SC-2043-SG signal conditioning board, which in turn is hooked up to a PCI 6251.
The problem right now is that while the computer recognizes the device and is getting output from it, I'm getting a constant negative voltage (-10.2 V or something like that). My configuration for the SC-2043-SG is as follows:
Custom voltage w/ excitation
-External excitation (can't switch to internal excitation source- apparently it doesn't exist even though I've set the switch on the board to INT)
-Full Wheatstone bridge
-Differential terminal configuration
-Not using ex for scaling
-Ex value is 1m
-Channel is ai0
I've currently got this set up in SignalExpress 2.5.1 and have been generating VIs from the task that I've made there.
Another odd thing is that the gauges don't seem to respond to when I put pressure on them.
So what I mainly need to know is
1) Do I have bad gauges?
2) Do I have an incorrect configuration?
I guess on a side note I've noticed that when I set the terminal configuration to RSE, the values oscillate around 0.08V. Should I use that instead and calibrate it from there, so that at least the configuration reads 0 by default?

Hi balaclava,
Since the SC-2043-SG is an older signal conditioning board
is does not support programmatic control of its excitation or settings. This is
why there is no internal excitation available to select in your DAQmx task. These
setting must be configured on the SC-2043-SG using the on-board jumpers.
You will want to set the jumpers for internal power and
excitation and set for full bridge gauges. More information on all of the
jumper settings can be found in the SC-2043-SG User Manual. Also page 30 of the
manual shows how to connect a full bridge sensor.
Once you have the SC-2043-SG configured correctly it then
does the bridge signal conditioning and provides the DAQ card with a voltage signal
referenced to AI Sense. You can measure this signal using a normal analog input
voltage task with the terminal configuration set to NRSE or RSE. It does not
provide the DAQ card with a differential signal.
Please let me know if you have any questions and take care.
Thanks,

Adobe Bridge and Extension Manager missing products

I installed Production Premium, yet Adobe Bridge will not preview After Effects Presets. When selecting Manage Extensions, the Adobe Extension Manager does not show After Effects as a product.
How can I fix this?

Nevermind :-) Fix this moments later. I had noticed After Effects would start with an error about quick time not being installed. (new OS). After I installed that it works fine. I guess Bridge uses Quicktime to preview the presets because after restarting bridge it works fine.
Thanks

Image Corruption in ACR/Bridge CS 6:

Shooting 1D mk lV, all image shot in RAW; Mac Pro Dual Core Xeon, ATI Radeon HD 5770. Downloads are via card reader.
Bridge/ACR will randomly take the first image I open and corrupt it. It could be per set of images or just the first image of the day. This is usually not a problem as my first images are usually just test/set up shots. This morning it screwed me royally.
I edited a shoot last night and put my highlight images into a separate folder. I then did ACR corrections and ran a batch for logo'd sample images and sent them to the client.
This morning I start up my computer and open the highlight image folder, select the 5 highlights, click on 'open in camera raw' and they pop up and after 2 seconds the first image corrupts.
I have tried copying the image to other drives as well as to my Mac Pro laptop and it does the same thing every time. Purging cache for selection doesn't work.
Copying the original in finder to another drive doesn't work (this has worked in the past).
This has happened in the past and I did find a fix of deleting a certain file in the adobe library (and it recreates it). I did save the page where I found the fix but haven't been able to find it.
I have re-created the ACR cache as well as the Bridge caches. After recreating the caches and clicking 'purge cache for selection' it briefly pops back the original and then corrupts again.
I've tried increasing cache size and various cache options.
When I view the file in finder, the tiny thumbnail shows the correct image but the preview shows corrupted image.
If I view the image in Canon's Digital Photo Professional, it pops up for a second normally and then corrupts itself.
I'm guessing it's a deep cache issue...I have well over a million images that have passed through CS6. I regulary clean my caches but am I missing something somewhere???
Any suggestions from anyone???

Doubleclicking on the files in Bridge causes that quicktime or VLC or itunes (depending on the file format) will open that, but bridge does not handle anything?!
Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 both handle my .mov files from EOS 1Dx and iPhone without any problems. The show in the preview window and can be played with sound in this same window. (MacPro with 10.8.4)
Purging cache is what it is, it dumps the previous cache of the preview and forces Bridge to create a new one, nothing else is set to default.
First try a reset of preferences and hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs. then try again.

ACR & Bridge Panel artifacts

I am posting here as it might get seen by Adobe engineers. It is difficult to find a bug report link for Bridge CS6 (unless I am completely missing something).
I am running the following machine:
MacBook Pro 17" (late 2011) - highest spec model that one could purchase at the Apple store in Seattle.
Intel 2.5 Ghz. i7, 8 GB RAM, Anti-Glare screen. Upgraded with OWC Electra 480 GB SSD.
Mac OS X 10.8.2 currently installed (clean install with all updates from Apple - including the Java 6 update 5 - applied).
Disk Permissions repaired and Disk verified.
Starting with OS X Mountain Lion at 10.8.0, I noticed there are artifacts in some of the panel fields of both the Bridge preferences sheet and the ACR panels at times. This does not interfere with functionality of the programs, but is just not something I have seen in previous versions of Adobe CSx or under OS X 10.6.x through 10.7.x. I am assuming this has to do with OS X 10.8.x compatibility, but wanted to post for exposure of problem and to see if anyone else has noticed this issue.
Here are images:
As you can see, there are artifacts in some of the fields.
I have been able to reproduce this in Bridge CS6 on the Labels panel by simply going to and away from the panel after relaunching Bridge CS6. The ACR issue shows up when I select the Adjustment Brush icon to view the panel, and then some of the artifacts show in other panel fields (including the Basic panel) once they have been 'activated'? It looks to me like the artifacts are coming from other panel labeling for fields, but can't be sure.
Hopefully one of the Adobe employees or engineers will see this and report it. I had sent an email to Adobe with the Bridge labels panel image attached about a month ago, but no word back on that one.
Again, this is a clean install with the defaults all in place. Other programs are running without artifacting (Office 2011, Sketchbook Pro, Apple programs, etc.).
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Moved thread to Bridge forum for better responses and visibility.
@CorkyO - You could use the bug report form here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
For reporting bugs with Bridge, you need to use Photoshop Feedback portal here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family and it will be looked into by Adobe.

I cannot do a full system recovery due to missing files and I don't have a recovery disc

At startup, I continue to get a message to activate windows. When I try to do this, I get message that some files are missing. The computer will not allow me to go back to the earliest system restore, nor will it allow me to do a full factory restore. I have been having problems since the time I did an online upgrade from Windows 8 to the 8.1 version. The original factory warranty expired on 02/04/15. I have contacted t, he Costco Consierge Service, HP and Microsoft to no avail. When I purchased the computer from Costco, neither the computer, not the box it came in had a Windows 8 activation code on them. Can someone please help?

Enter the BIOS and load the HP Factory default keys. That should take care of it. BTW, if you do end up having to pay for the factory prepared HP USB recovery media, it only costs about $25.00 USD.
