Images in Bridge preview too red and saturated

I have used Adobe Bridge CS3 successfully for many years. Now all of a sudden all of my images in Preview appear very red and overly saturated. Can anyone tell me what has gone wrong?? thanks.

I did ALL those things and the problem remains.
Just to be sure about ALL, you followed the KB article with removing cache
and plist etc also?
Strangely images look okay in
the "content" area but overly saturated in preview.
Could you provide more detail about the file types you are using for this
(maybe even provide a screenshot to clarify better) and OSX you are using.
And are you using High Quality settings for preview?
Do you think this means my Bridge is cooked
No, I can't think of that, it must be a setting (or rather resetting)
problem and should be possible to solve to my opinion.
 and i'll have to upgrade?
That's entirely up to you, I can only tell you that Adobe has a 3-version
upgrade policy, after this you need to buy a full version to keep on track.
But you surely benefit from CS5 Bridge that is much faster and more stable
then the CS3 edition

  • Firefox 36 changes colors on EVERYTHING to too bright and saturated.

    I have 28, 33 and now 36. All previous versions had the same and more accurate color. But, 36 makes everything too bright and saturated. Every page. Even bookmark icons. Everything.
    Something must have changed. Could have changed in 34 or 35 as I skipped those,. but here in 36 is definitely an issue.
    Is there a new setting I have missed?
    Appreciate your replies. This is hard to view.

    Hello Bob, try '''disabling graphics hardware acceleration'''.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' .
    #In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. '''Uncheck''' this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Viewing multiple images in Bridge preview

    Hi - whenever I try an view more that 9 images in Bridge I only get a preview of 9 - no more ( in essentials view) anyone know why this would be?

    (and makes some odd layout decisions to make sure it is only 9).
    You are right about the odd layout and also the odd way of inconsistency Bridge handles its option for rating in multiple workspaces and panels. They should work on that and I believe (hope...) they are doing so for the next version. But having an unlimited amount of previews in the preview window is not the best idea to my opinion because when you select the lot in the content window it would mean even much smaller then thumbnails previews in the preview panel. It seems something as the best of both as it is now but again, they automatically layout choice of the preview window is mostly unusable and you are more then right at that point.
    A second minor for me would be that choosing between more then nine files in detail is also not easy. Although I'm using a very big (30") cinema display personal more then 4 HQ previews for detail comparing is pointless for me but that is my workflow :-)
    Using the content panel in Light Table workspace could help if you increase the size of the thumbs but this is very processor and memory consuming so you have to own quite a configuration to make this an easy workflow.
    Using the review mode is also not my favorite sorting method but I do like the full screen preview using tab. I have set preferences to build monitor sized previews and when I want to choose I select the similar files and with arrow keys run through them for the first choice. Rating with the cmd + . (dot) and cmd + , (comma) for increasing and decreasing stars and for final choice use a few in the preview panel next to each other.
    I often state, so many users so many workflows, it's not easy to produce an app that fit's them all...

  • Printing too contrasty and saturated in CS6. How to correct?

    i have just upgraded from Mac OS 10.5 and CS5 to Mac OS 10.8.4 and CS6 printing on Epson 9880. Struggling to get calibrated prints - before it was excellent. Now printed images are WAY contrasty and saturated compared to the monitor, a LA Cie 324, which I calibrate with la Cie Eye One puck. If I use settings "Let Printer" manage color, the print is much less saturated and contrasty than if I use the settings "Let PS" manage color; all this relates to using icc profiles for Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy, or other papers, Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth Pearl, for example. The overall color is ok, it is an issue of contrast and saturation at the moment. As with all of these issues, very frustrating!
    Any suggestions for resolving this?

    Epson does have a problem with the "use 16 bit" checkbox in the Epson print settings that can cause similar issues.
    Try turning it off.

    Either you have set Auto Tone adjustments set in Camera Raw preferences or have created a custom default ACR setting for this file type which is set to overexposed.

  • Prints too red

    I purcahsed aHP Photosmart Permium model HPC410a about 6 months ago after my previous HP broke down.  I have to say I was quite happy with the previousd printer but this one I would not recommend to anyone.   I am stuck with it I guess till it also breaks down.
    It prints totally unrealistic pictures.  They are just far too red and it is very thirsty on ink (may be the carrtrides are too small but XL versions that fit  are not cheap.     I have tried to find a way to correct the redness it but there does not seem to be much that one can select.   I am using HP paper and the correct inks.   A face  looks as if they have been out in the sun far too long but there is a redish brown tinge right though the pricture which make is look dark.   However no mtter what monitor you look at the pricture on  eg. CRT, LCD or LED types  the pictures alwys  looK to have a good colour balance and the skin tones look like real skin.
    I have tried a number of things.
    1.  making sure the latest drivers are installed both on the windows machines and the Linux based machines
    2.  printing from a different computers usinhg the same photos.   XP & Vista, Fedora and Mint Linux,
    3. used different cameras from different manufacturers and get the same end printed result.
    4  used a different printer (was loaned one, not HP) and after loading the linuix driver worked fine out of the box so to speak.  didi not bother to try it on a windows machine.
    Therefore I conclude that the printer is set up wrong.  Using the GIMP program and adjusting the Gamma settings I can get it to look somthing like right but this is a hassle and I should not have to do it.   Is there something that one can set in the HP printer to correc this problem. 
    Has anyone any idea as to how to correct this problem?
    Hoping some one has a solution
    Thanks
    grnlaus

    Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
    the power cord from the printer then from the
    wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
    wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
    up’ and restore the printer to a known good
    condition (if it is possible). No user settings
    are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
    This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
    tools to use when the printer hardware is not
    functioning properly!
    if not resolved, While printer is powered ON, pull
    the power cord from the printer then from the
    wall. on the printer control panel press & hold Help key & Down Arrow ...while holding both keys down reconnect power to
    wall and printer. It will trigger a partial reset.
    if not fixed...printer may have a hardware failure.

  • Red images in bridge and cs5?

    In the last couple of months my images have become quite red in bridge and it switches back and forth from being too red on photoshop and then too red on bridge.  I have no idea what the problem is and need help please.

    also, do you have a wide gamut monitor, are you positive you are embedding profiles (and applying them in Ps)
    can you post a low resolution copy of one of the problem images....

  • CS3 Bridge: Preview image too small

    Hi,
    Here's what I'm using:
    Photoshop CS3: 10.0.1
    Bridge: 2.1.1.9
    ACR: 4.6.0.30
    No matter what mode I coose (lightbox, horizontal/vertical filmstrip ...), the preview image occupies a very small part of the preview pane and I find no way to resize it. The thumnail pane and the thumbnail images themselves are resizable all right.
    I tried purging the cache and that didn't help.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Prabal.

    Hi,
    I wanted to report another experiment that possibly points out where the problem is.
    Case 1:
    I placed the preview and content panes one above the other. Like so (preview pane at the top):
    Then I started pulling the horizontal separator between the two panes to shrink the size of the lower pane and this caused the preview image to starting to get bigger to fit the preview pane real estate space. Look at the image below (and note that the bigger image is not rendered correctly) and note that at the time of taking the screenshot, I did not yet release the horizontal separator:
    Finally, just as I released the horizontal separator bar, the image in the preview pane got resized to its initial small size:
    Any clue?
    Thanks,
    Prabal.

  • LR changes exposure and saturation when previewed or opened

    Hello Everyone!
    I've got a strange problem. I took 800 raw files with my Nikon D40x camera last weekend. When I imported them with nikon's Picture Project app... they all look rich and saturated in color and have the deep tones I expected and look just like they did on the camera LCD when I took them.  Fine.
    When I open photoshop and use browse "Bridge" window... they look the same in the thumbnail view... until I click on one... and preview it... then that image suddenly gets about 20% brighter and about 20% less saturated in both the preview and the thumbnail gets updated too... plus one or two on either site of the thumbnail. It appears to be a permanent change in Bridge or ACR.
    I downloaded the trial of lightroom 2 and imported all 800 shots... same thing... they look fine until I select one.. then the preview and the thumbnail change before my eyes!
    If I go back and look at the photo in Nikon's PictureProject, it looks great.. never again in Photoshops browse or Lightroom 2... what
    is going on? Whatever it is doing to it... I don't like it! How do I make it stop?
    I found on the forum that there is a check box in LR and Bridge that you want to be sure is UN-checked so that these programs don't automatically adjust your images... but neither app has that box checked.
    I've got a lot of images to edit and color correct but I'm afraid to touch them because I don't know who to trust, Nikon Picture Project or Adobe.
    Note:... I've normally shot .jpg files.. I've never had this happen with any .jpegs.. it seem to be a NEF conversion thing that adobe and Nikon differ on.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Bruce

    Thanks for your response. Yes, it is pretty red... but that is what I was seeing on the camera. I was shooting vivid, and I think with a custom white balance that I set in the shade of a brown and green grassy wooded area... I later forgot to reset my white balance, and shot in the shade with just sky and flash... what color should it really be? I have no idea! I don't really even know how to figure that out at this point. ;-)  I thought that understanding why it was so different than my camera would be the first step.
    Now that I understand that the camera, when taking a raw photo, doesn't actully save the image with a specific balance, but saves the data, and then puts a filter, vivid or what ever on that as you view it... and saves the thumbnail with that profile... that pretty interesting and eye opening information.
    So.. My next step is to figure out how to get it looking rich, and beautiful like the top one without going too far overboard to the red and probalby over saturated top one.
    I did print it out on my Epson R320 printer with glossy photo paper and it looks really nice... not as read or over done with the color. The model likes the look of her skin but I think you are right ... it's probably too much...
    There are no camera profiles that are in between... so I'll have to experiment I guess... because selcting any of the camera profiles doesn't change the sliders above... so there is no way to know what basic inturpretation is being applied - and thus back that down a bit.
    How does any ever really get skin tones a) right and b) better than right so people say... wow that looks great, instead of gee, you sure made the red! ;-)
    Espcially if you have no real stake in the ground in the first place. I'm lost right now.

  • Why do i keep getting "image is missing preview data" when trying to move files from bridge to PS ??

    I am not able to move multiple files to PS...regardless whether I am doing HDR or panorama.....get this "image is missing preview data" with the first file number of the series of files.
    #missingpreviewdata

    You don't "move" anything from Bridge "into" Photoshop.  You use Bridge to call on Photoshop to come and open the file(s), and Bridge simply hands the files over to Photoshop.
    The problem lies in how the files are being processed and saved.
    No one can help you until you provide complete and sensible details.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,

  • Bridge CS6- Thumbnails gone and metadata too!

    Hi everyone.
    I am in panic mode.
    I am running Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4) And PS CS6. I recently updated something Can't remember if it was DNG and/or Camera Raw.
    My problem started today when i went to view a folder of DNG images in Bridge. Initially the thumbnails of the images showed up, but then one by one, the thumbnails turned into the Adobe DNG icon. This is happening with tiff files too.
    I went to Tools>Cache>Purge Cahe for Folder... That did not help. I simply can not re-generate the thumbnails.
    I've also noticed that when I click on almost any image, my metadata does not show up in the Meta Data Panel in Bridge.
    Another odd thing is all my images are keyworded. I used to be able to click on an image, and see in the Keyword Panel the keywords I chose for that image. That is no longer the case, however when I open that image in Photoshop CS6 and get file info, I see that my keywords and Metadata is there!
    And the very last weird thing: If I go to the Bridge menu>Camera raw preferences, nothing happens. I used to be able to set my TIFF and JPEG handling options there.
    This happened as I was finishing archiving about 20,000 images so you'll understand that I am a little bit more than upset....
    Your help would be most appreciated.
    Jonathan

    After reading a few things online I decided to try re-installing the DNG/CR Update 8.4.0. That did not help.
    I then decided to delete the ACR cache files, the Adobe Bridge 256, 1024, and Full cache folders, since there were tens of thousands of them.
    I realize that Bridge might have to rebuild and it would take a while, but was wondering if something got corrupted there.
    (I hope this wasn't a mistake).
    I relaunched bridge, and as expected, none of my images have thumbnails, but I also see no way to re-generate those!
    BTW- All this has happened with my back-up of this archive on a seperate HD.
    I am unable to get the CR preference window to show in Bridge but I am able to acces the prefs from within PS CS6!
    Going crazy!

  • MacBook Pro Retina - Images in PS look great, but when uploaded to web too big and distorted

    Part of the reason I hated using my Mac for graphic and web design is that when I create images in adobe photoshop everything looks amazing. However, when I upload them to the web, they are way too big and look distorted, this includes text.
    I'm trying to make a text logo with a transparent background. When I create it in photoshop the size I want it looks fine and clear, but once it's uploaded to the web it looks way too big and the font is blurred. How can I fix this? I use the Adobe Cloud, so I have the latest version.

    No sir, I'm still trying to figure out how to fix it

  • Image Colors Change in Bridge Preview Window

    I edited some images first in Camera Raw and then Photoshop (CS5), all working in sRGB color space, and saved them as JPEGs.  If I select one of these images in the Bridge content pane, minimize the Bridge window, then maximize the Bridge window, the image appears correctly in the Bridge content pane but the colors are incorrect in the Bridge preview pane.  If I resize the view in the content pane, the image colors in the preview pane get corrected within a couple seconds.  Likewise, if I click on another image and then back, the image colors are correct in the preview pane, but if I again minimize then maximize the Bridge window, the image colors in the preview pane are incorrect again.
    Windows Explorer displays the image colors correctly.  ZoomBrowserEX (browser software provided with Canon camera) displays the same image (same file) with incorrect colors.  When I upload these JPEGs to my web photohosting site (PictureTrail), the images appear there with incorrect colors.  That is where this issue becomes most problematic because with the colors being off, the images are useless for posting to online forums or classifieds.
    It seems that the color in the JPEG is being read differently by different software, and is even being read differently under different circumstances within Photoshop (Bridge).  Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?  Or some other issue?  Thanks.....

    I have a fair understanding of color profiles and color management.  My monitor is a Dell UltraSharp U3011 set to the factory-calibrated sRGB display mode.
    What makes me certain that this is not a simple matter of different color management in different applications is that Bridge is displaying the same JPEG file/image in two panes on the screen simultaneously and the colors do not match.  Furthermore, the incorrect colors in the preview pane image change to the correct colors if I resize the thumbnails in the content pane, or click on another image and then back; and the colors in the preview pane go back to incorrect if I minimize then maximize the Bridge window.  Seems to me that there must be something within that JPEG that is being interpreted differently in different circumstances that results in the "two versions" displayed within the same application (Bridge) on the same screen at the same time, and that other apps are interpreting one way or the other.
    Message was edited by: BoaMorph1
    Exploring a bit further, I've realized that the same color display issue exists with the original JPEGs from my camera (Canon T1i, shooting in sRGB color space).  So it seems the issue did not originate with settings etc. in Photoshop.... but Photoshop (Bridge) IS displaying "two versions" on same screen at same time, and so must be doing something different with the JPEG info in one pane vs. the other.

  • File printing and icons for folders in Bridge CS5 - too small to read

    Got CS5 and am trying to use Bridge. The folders are too small to read and the print with them too small. The slider at the bottom of the page enlarges the space but the files and printing stay the same size. If I open one the images will enlarge with the slider but I don't want to waste time opening each file to see what is in them. I want to be able to read wha the file is and open the right one first try.
    Tried calling "tech support" Those jackasses can't speak English. On hold for 3 hours overall after getting someone, getting cut off and having to call again. I hope Pakistan nukes India and solves that problem.
    When I finally got through the guy told me my Photoshop copy was not registered. Funny, it was last week when it had problems. Then I try changing the pasword and it says it did it, but won't accept it.
    I hate computers.
    So, anyone know how to get this damn probram to make the folders and printing big enough to read without my having to get up to the screen with a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes? The screen is a 22inch graphic arts monitor and I don't have this problem with any other programs. Not Breezebrowser, Not Auto Pano Pro, not Photo Mechanic. Just Bridge with this overpriced and overhyped photoshiz crap.

    Small, and uncustomizable, fonts has been a com
    plaint in PhotoShop also. 
    Send in a bug report, they do read those, and maybe if enough users complain they will modify the program.
