TIFF files in Adobe bridge

My normal routine after I have converted my Nikon NEF files and processed them in Photoshop CS3 is to save as TIF files. These have always then been visible in Adobe bridge CS3. For some reason I can no longer see the picture thumbnail in Adobe bridge - instead I just get a thumbnail showing a TIFF logo rather than the picture itself. Does anyone know how I can restore things so that the thumbnail shows the actual converted picture? My NEF files and any converted JPGs continue to show as actual picture thumbnails in Bridge.
Many thanks
Steven

Hello Curt and Charlie
Thank you both for taking the time to help me with my tif file problem. Unfortunately none of the sugestions worked and consequently I decided to reinstall the Photoshop suite without removing the existing programme. I did this hoping it would repair any corrupted files and because I took fright at the deactivate message not knowing what the implications would be for installing on other computers or in the event of a hard drive failure.
Anyway, the result was that I still could not see my tifs as picture thumbnails in Bridge. I hit on the idea of trying the original RAW files and converting them into fresh tifs in Photoshop CS3. Hey presto, I can see these fresh tifs as picture thumbnails in Adobe Bridge, so I can go back to my original workflow if I want with any new photographs.
I then reinstalled lightroom 2 and it happily shows all the tifs I possess as picture thumnails. By some trickery I don't understand I used the edit as a copy function in Lightroom for one of the tifs I can't see in Bridge. I was surprised to find the new copy created in Lightroom is viewable as a picture thumbnail tif in Bridge. So I now have a workaround to see some of my old heavily-processed tifs as picture thumbnails in Bridge. I'm still completely mystified why my original tifs won't show as picture thumbnails in Bridge.
The irony is that after this amount of playing around in Lightroom I have begun to get used to it and found it can do what I was trying to do in Bridge i.e. quickly identify and compare different versions of the same image after differing Photoshop post-processing regimes. Instead, I'm now wondering if I will ever need to bother with Bridge again - is there anything that Bridge can do that Lightroom can't?
Thanks again for your help

How to save raw images as TIFF files on Adobe Bridge?

I am trying to upload my raw images from my camera onto Adobe Bridge and save them as a TIFF file. But it does not give me that option and simply automatically saves them as JPEGs.
Where is the option to keep them as raw, large TIFF files?

This is the Adobe Reader forum. Your question is concerning about what software?

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Can't see CR2 files in Adobe Bridge CS6

I have recently purchased Canon 5D Mark iii and have taken a few shots in RAW mode. When I try to open the file in Adobe Bridge CS6, I can't view the file.
I also have a canon T2i and the raw file from that camera show perfectly fine.
What could be the problem? All my CS6 software is up to date.

Updated to ACR 8.4? There is an issue:
The fix is to download a 8.4 again via the link below and follow the instructions to replace the existing 8.4 plugin:

Viewing .nef files I can no longer view my nikon .nef files in adobe bridge.

Please help. I used to be able to view .NEF files in Adobe Bridge but now they do not open. I tried to open them in PS by double-clicking but I get the message.....could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

As a start you should update your profile it still says you are using 10.6.1 and including the Aperture version would be a good thing also. So have you upgraded to 3.2.1 yet? If not you should.
As a start you should look at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics and see i that helps.

I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
Here's how to do both:
Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop. Maybe you don't want that.
You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

My operating system is Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.8. I rearranged files in Adobe Bridge, how do I sinc my Finder?

10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

Can I change the location of files in Adobe Bridge

I have a small SSD for my program files. Adobe Bridge is usingit to store image data and I believe backups of the images. Can I agjust the locaion of these files?

Can I agjust the locaion of these files?
You can go to Bridge preferences cache section and inhere you can select another location for your Central Cache file which store all previews (and can grow very large indeed).
However if you have the option to build another SSD internal this is preferred above external and normal disks. A fast reading and writing disk with a fast connection will speed up your workflow

M2t files in Adobe Bridge

Is there any way to preview .m2t files in Adobe Bridge?
Note that if i rename the .m2t to .mpg or.avi the preview is ok.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.

Corel Painter RIF Files In Adobe Bridge CS5.1?

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can view Corel Painter 12 RIF file thumbnails in Adobe Bridge CS5.1 For Windows? Right now Bridge just shows a blank icon. When I used Painter 11, the RIF file icons showed a thumbnail of its image in Bridge. When I upgraded to Painter 12 this went away. I can see the Painter RIF file thumbs in Windows Explorer, but not within any Adobe application.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Michael R.

Yep, same here. Running Adobe bridge CS5.1, upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. Navigated to folder that contained a zip file and Bridge crashed. I removed the zip file, launched Bridge again,and went to that same folder. Worked perfectly. On a hunch, I dragged a zip file back into that folder in Bridge, and *WHAP* down she goes again.
Looks like we wait for a fix. *sigh*
Unless...File type association somehow comes into it? Interesting, I just checked (it's under Preferences) and neither a zip file or a doc file is in the list.
Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any way to add a new file type. Hm. Don't know if it has anything to do with the crashing, but man, what a pain this is!

Can't view raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

Hi,
I bought a new iMac OS X version 10.8.5 . I have a Canon 5d Mark ii and I shoot in RAW. I installed CS4.. I also downloaded the newest version of the camera raw plug-in (5.7). I placed the plug-in in applications--> adobe photoshop CS4 -->plug-ins--> file formats.
In Bridge, I can only view the grey thumbnail that says CR2. I can click on it and it'll open up into camera raw where I can edit some and then open it into photoshop. I want to be able to view the images in bridge to know which ones I want to open up in camera raw. Also, when I right click on the thumbnail there isn't an option that says "open in camera raw".
Should I also place the camera raw plug-in in the applications-->Adobe Bridge-->plug-ins?
When I click on about plug-ins on photoshop, it's showing me 2 camera raw plug-ins.. version 5.0 and version 5.7. I can't find 5.0 to delete?
Thanks

If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

How can I access my cloud files from Adobe Bridge or Lightroom?

Since we still do not have the ability to share folders or perform a sync with ACC I'm betting this question is not answerable, but I'm hopeful. It would be really great if Bridge, and I'll use Lightroom if I must, could access the files within the Adobe Creative Cloud. OK, I understand that sync isn't going to happen, that the cloud is not meant to be sharing or collaborative in nature but rather a tool allow you to send a single file to another Cloud user to get their comments or have them download a JPG. OK, that's fine, a VW is never going to be a Cadillac, but is it possible to modify Adobe Bridge or even Lightroom to look in the users Creative Cloud folders and display thumbnails of the images? This way the user can see a file he wants to work on, allow Bridge or Lightroom to export the file to his PC, open it, work on it and save it. Is any of this even possible today?

Which OS do you have? In case of using Mac OS X 10.7 and later or using Windows 7 (maybe working on Vista too, but tested on Win7), Adobe CloudConnection is out now. If you use Snow Leopard 10.6.8, like I do, you have a problem xDD

I can't see NEF files in Adobe Bridge

My Bridge doesn't show my nef files (taken by both d40x and d700). The thumbnails in Adobe Bridge S3 show the icon Nef but they don't show the image. I can't see the images in raw. If I click on the icons 'camera raw' opens and I can develop the nef files. I'd like to see the previews instead. I've downloaded the latest camera raw (4.6) and manually installed it but it doesn't work. The camera raw instructions say to install it in:
Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
but I have this directory instead:
Adobe\AdobeBridgeCS3\plug-ins
Who can help me?!
Thank you!

Yes, it must be in a location above and nowhere else. Only one version is allowed in this directory.

Can't view Sony RAW (.ARW) file in Adobe Bridge

Hi all,
Need some assistance here.
I'm currently using Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
I've installed the Adobe Camera Raw update version 4.6.
With this, I'm able to do the relevant editing with the Sony Alfa raw files (.ARW) in Camera Raw.
But the funny thing is, when using adobe bridge I can't view the thumbnails as I view it in camera raw / photoshop.
The thumbnails is "blank". This only happens on .ARW files. I'm able to view jpeg files in thumbnail.
When I check the camera raw preferences in adobe bridge, it shows me it's 4.6.
I'm currently using Mac OS X (Leopard).
Do any of you faced this before?
Hope that any of you could shed a light on this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Have you figured out a workaround for this? Most of the forums regarding this issue
are windows related or full of arguments. I'm guessing there may not be a solution to this problem so I'm curious what approach you're taking.
Thanks!
