ACR link from Bridge Missing

After I installed the latest version of ACR (4.4), I found that I could not access ACR directly from Bridge any more. The "Open in Camera Raw" was "grayed out". I removed V4.4 and reinstalled 4.3.1. Still could not access ACR directly. ACR opened in CS3 fine.
Some other strange thing happened in Bridge after installing V4.4, but they were corrected after I re-ran the start up disk and had it "re-install CS3". But, the above problem still existed.
Any ideas, any body?

Thank for the help, that wasn't the problem, but it put me in the right ballpark. ACR was not in the corrct sub-folder.
Thanks again

Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014. I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

Place linked from Bridge CC to Photoshop

Hi All,
I love the new "Place Linked" ability in Photoshop CC.
However, in my normal workflow I use File->Place->Photoshop in Bridge quite often, either from Bridge or Mini Bridge.
In bridge/photoshop CC, this "Place" command seems to be "Place Embedded" without an option to "Place Linked".
Is there any way to use the new "Place linked" frmo within Bridge CC?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I know you can Drag from BR to PS with Alt/Option pressed, I am looking for a non drag & drop solution (if such exists)
-- Guy

Hi Do you now, how to do it ? I have same problem. Thanks

ACR missing from Bridge CS3 on Mac

I am working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe CS3.
When I originially installed CS3 running OSX 10.4 the "Camera Raw Preferences" under the file menu was missing. I also could not "Develop Settings" or any other ACR functions from Bridge. I was able to open files in Photoshop and use ACR that way, but that seriously hindered my workflow.
In order to solve the issue I: 1) Updated CS3 (did not fix) 2) Rebuilt Permissions (did not fix) 3) Un-installed CS3, Re-installed CS3 (DID FIX! Camera Raw back in Bridge!)
I Recently upgraded to Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and now I am right back where I started: no ACR in Bridge.
So, again I tried to fix by: 1) Un-installing & Re-installing CS3 (did not fix) 2) Re-installing Mac OSX 10.5 & CS3 (did not fix, but was a major hassle)
I am hoping their is a known fix to this, or if there is a scheduled update to either CS3 or Mac OSX 10.5 addressing such issues with Bridge. I would rather not revert to 10.4 having bought 10.5.

Assuming you have installed the RAW plug in at the correct location??
from the FAQ;
Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
A: For Photoshop CS2 and CS3 customers the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the ï¿½Updatesï¿½ï¿½ option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
Q: I am trying to replace ACR 3.0 by 3.1 (or higher) I cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder, where is it located now?
A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the new correct location is:
Photoshop CS2
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/ï¿½
Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\ï¿½
Photoshop CS3
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/ï¿½
Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\ï¿½

Running ACR from Bridge

I've made a habit out of running ACR from Bridge. The workflow was quicker and it could handle large batches better. Ctrl-R is almost a subconcious reflex now.
Since going 64-bit, it now seems that Ctrl-O is the way to go (it almost sounds like a slogan). You get to use the 64-bit plug-in in Photoshop. But this defeats the advantage of using ACR in Bridge, which is quickly applying settings to batches of images while you sort through them, without having to change applications.
I know this is the wrong forum, but it is linked, and this one is actually monitored by people in the know ... are there any plans to release a 64-bit version of Bridge?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

so, what's the point
The point is Adobe concentrates on bolting on new gee whiz marketing features, clearly to the exclusion of making their base system better. Some might say this is good, because it stays more familiar from release to release, but really, there are still a lot of filters and things still stuck in 8 bit land because everyone's working on the "next big visible feature" instead of making time to evolve the existing platform. And then you have people asking why doesn't the second major release with 64 bit functionality still has components that only run on 32 bits. Windows has had 64 bit capability for 6 years now!
The cash cow needs to get more funding, that's all I'm saying.

Batch Process White Balance From Bridge/ACR?

Here's what I want to do:
Open Bridge
Use Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor
Set ACR white balance to be used on all files being processed from Bridge
Save to JPEG
I can do 1, 2, and 4. When the Image Processor window opens it gives me a checkbox option that says, "Open first image to apply settings". I assumed this meant I could open the first image in ACR (via Image Processor), adjust the white balance settings (and any other ACR settings I want), and then have those settings applied to the rest of the images that are processed. However, when I do this, the ACR settings are applied only to the first image, none of the others. Is there a way to apply the ACR settings I create on that first image to the rest of the images?
Thanks,
Aaron

Apologies for replying to this thread, but it seemed like a better idea than creating another topic for more or less the same issue.
I am attempting to do the same thing using Bridge/ACR except I am not seeing the edits on the JPEG file afterwards.
Here are the steps I go through.
1) Open Adobe Bridge CS3
2) Select several RAW files
3) Click Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor
The options I have checked (1) open first image to apply settings. (2) Save in Same Location (3) Save as JPEG, Quality 12 (4) Include ICC profile
4) Click Run
5) Make edits in ACR, click Open Image
6) Photoshop batches those files.
I only chose 6 files to batch as a test, but it only made the edits to the first picture, the remaning 5 were untouched.
I am wondering if maybe I am just missing something simple here and someone could point it out to me

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.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Photoshop CS6 Startup Script Missing from Bridge CC

Hi. After downloading a Photoshop CS6 update, Camera Raw unlinked from Bridge CS6. I have a full CC subscription so I downloaded Bridge CC and that solved the problem. Now Photoshop does not appear in the 'tools' menu. It is missing from the Startup Script list in preferences as well. Where can I find or download the photoshop script?
On a mac, using Mavericks.
Thank you!

Bump. Any solutions yet?
restart Bridge holding down option (Mac) or ctrl (Win) key ad from the menu choose reset references. Try again. BTW, the start up scripts from the needed applications for Bridge Tool menu are in Bridge preferences / Start up scripts, they should show and have a checkmark in front of them.

Tiff previously edited in ACR will not open in Camera RAW from Bridge

Yes, I have googled this and found instances going back to 2010 with no satisfactory answer. I have Photoshop 5.1 and the latest ACR and Bridge that work with it. 2011 MAC Mini 10.8.2.
I scanned a landscape oriented printed email image at 800 spi as a portrait orientation and saved it as a tiff. I opened this tiff in Preview and decided it needed more than minor tweaks so I opened it in ACR from Bridge, made a few adjustments and saved it. I thought I could see what I was doing better if it was in landscape orientation again so I opened it in Preview and rotated 90 deg CCW, saved it as a tiff. Going to Bridge I found Open in Camera Raw greyed out. I went back to Preview to see if I could get what I needed in its Tools while viewing it in landscape. Adjustments took forever this time, so I gave up and took a look at the image characteristics. Rotating in Preview had changed the image size to 3.3333...... times larger at 240 ppi still aRGB, still a tiff. This has never happened before, including slow adjustments
I duplicated the rotated file and changed it back to 800 ppi and normal size, went to Bridge, Camera Raw still greyed out. Original unrotated image
that had been edited in ACR and saved will still open in ACR.
All kinds of strange things have happened since updating to 10.8.2, but I don't think this is one of them because of the complaints I have seen that date back to 2010. I did a full maintenance routine, i e cleared RAM, reboot in single user with fsck -fy, repaired permissions, back up with SuperDuper which repairs permissions again. Then I tried Bridge again, original will open, rotated won't.
Anyone know the answe?

The answer is that making edits in ACR and saving it creates layers in the tiff and Bridge will then not open it again in ACR unless you flatten it. I still don't know why Preview increased the image size by 3.333.....x or why ACR increased the tiff file size by 2.6x and why the flattened tiff is 2x the file size of the original scan but the image dimensions are the same. This stuff apparently is above the pay grade of anyone in google, too.

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?

Can I extract low quality links from a indd which the links are missing?
That's it...
I've an old file without it's links folder, I was wondering If there was any way to extract low quality images from it to relink them.

@Bernardo – you could export the graphic frame that holds the low res preview to e.g. PNG.
But I would *NOT* re-link them! Place them anew in case someone has geometrically transformed (cropped, rotated, skewed, mirrored) the original ones. Keep in mind that by exporting graphic frames to PNG, fill and stroke properties together with applied effects are exported as well.

Web gallery built in Bridge, then linked from DW site, doesn't work

Hi,
Using the "web gallery" function in Adobe Bridge CS5, I created an HTML-based web gallery and uploaded it directly from Bridge to here on the web:
http://www.sws-steel.com/test2/SouthwestSteel/
I can view this in Safari 5.0.5 on my Mac, but it's a blank white page in Firefox and in Chrome. Even worse, my client gets a blank page in every Windows-based browser.
If I can get it to work at all, my intent is to add it within a frame on this page:
http://www.sws-steel.com/temp/photos.html
Again, it seems to work in Safari (but only after a refresh on an iPad), but doesn't work anywhere else.
The web gallery function in Bridge would be ideal to use for this gallery, but it just doesn't work and I have no idea how to fix it. Any help or insights on what's wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kent Bingham

Missing DOCTYPE declaration for starters:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp
without that the browsers do not know which set of rules to apply when displaying the page. Correct that then...
Validate the page here:

Then come back here and we will look for problems. But very hard to correct anything until you get the foundation right.

Missing RAW and CS5 option from Bridge

When trying to take a photo from bridge to either RAW or CS5 for processing, those options are no longer available. I get a msg that they are not in the system.
I have re-installed CS5 but no returning email has arrived from Adobe confirming instillation activty has been completed.

Thanks Jeff for the response.
From Bridge I had been able to select RAW or CS5 for processing photos. They no longer show. The msg I get is:
Windows cannot find C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, than try again, click the stat button than click search.

Output workspace missing from Bridge CC

Why has the Output workspace been removed from Bridge CC??????

Hi Bluebell,
Yes the Output such as web gallery, has been removed. I am not very happy about it either since I packaged all of my clients "off line" proofs this way. It was fast and simple... Oh wait, fast and simple... That's why Adobe cut it out.
Their solution is to waste clock cycles on your system by using Lightroom 5 which I have utterly no use for. Seeing as there is no real improvement to bridge and they basically just slaped the"CC" designation on it, they could have easily left it in.
It's amazing that they have brilliant software engineers but nobody with brains enough to make logical marketing decisions.

Photos missing from Bridge CC

Am using CC. My photos are stored on an Iomega drive. I can reference that drive from Bridge and Lightroom. There seem to be photos in LR that I can't find in Bridge. How is that possible? All the right folders etc seem to be in Bridge.

Don't use LR, but have heard it can make different copies of image, depending on process. Will not be readable outside of LR.
