ACR link from Bridge

I was going to post this in the Bridge Forum, but apparently nobody reads that forum.
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.

  • 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 �Updates�� 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/�
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\�
    Photoshop CS3
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/�
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\�

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    This doesn't make sense.
    Why there is no more clear information regarding this?

  • TIFF thumbnails are a logo & won't open in ACR except from PS

    Using Bridge 2.1.0.100, ACR 4.4, Photoshop CS3 10.0.1, Win XP Pro SP3
    I have two problems with TIFF files;
    1. They show as a logo instead of a thumbnail in Bridge unless I change their name (NOT the file extension, just any other part of the name)
    2. They will not open in ACR from Bridge, but will if I "Open as..." in Photoshop.
    Clearing the cache doesn't help, neither did uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge and Photoshop.
    In Bridge Preferences>Thumbnails I have Prefer ACR for jpg and tiff checked. When I open a jpg file it opens in ACR (there is no right click option listing ACR)
    What to do?
    Thanks!

  • Changes made in LR 1.3 to psd files are not reflected in ACR 4.3, Bridge 2.1.1.9, or Photoshop CS3

    I have repeatedly imported several psd images into LR 1.3, made changes in the develop mode, and saved metadata to file manually in addition to having the auto write metadata option on in LR and ACR. Any changes I have made in LR are not reflecting in Bridge previews or in ACR or Photoshop. I don't believe I should have to utilize the write to xmp options (even though I have been) since the files in question are psd and the metadata gets written directly into the file. If I delete the photo from LR, and even delete the LR catalog (new user trying to make it work with 1 photo at least before importing all images) and re-import the psd to LR it appears with the changes and can backlog in the history panel to it's original state upon import into LR. I would have to be in LR though to know that anything was altered as the other Adobe programs will not display the changes.
    If anyone has any help - I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    Ann
    System=
    160 GB hard drive
    Intel core duo T7500
    2 GB Ram
    Windows Vista 32 bit
    ACR 4.3
    LR 1.3
    Bridge 2.1.1.9
    PS CS3 (updated last week)

    I don't think the problem lies in the name. LR is after all meant to function as a data base of images and be a companion program to PS - with PS doing the heavy editing lifting. I do understand that PS is a pixel editing file and LR is not. I like the idea of the non-destructive editing that LR has to offer and for a lot of image "developing" I prefer LR's interface to ACR.
    In my humble opinion, I just think that the Photoshop family of products should all be able to read the same metadata. If I am starting in LR with a psd file (with layers) and I continue to process the image further in LR and save the metadata - therefore saving the changes - I want to be able to open that same file (not another copy) in ACR, PS, or Bridge and have those changes reflected. The only way to do that currently is to export the file and when you do that you lose the PS layers and the LR history panel or another way around it is you can have edit copies of the same file. If at a later date you wanted to go back and change something, you can't just pull out a layer in PS or undo a history state in LR and with the multiple copies of essentially the same image you end us with any editing history scattered amongst multiple files. I already keep 2-4 (original, psd, jpeg print, jpeg web) files for one image which I think is more than adequate. Which is why I find the current set up so frustrating. For now I have just settled for exporting jpegs so I can see the changes.

  • Problem w/12.0.3 installation/ problem opening jpg from bridge

    Hi,
    I used the update button to update Cs5 to version 12.03
    After updating I got a message "update complete but with errors"...
    I can't seem to "re" update my software.  I tried manually installing the updater and got this
    The version number PS shows as running is 12.0.3
    Also, since trying to do the update, I have a bug...   Everytime I try to open a jpg by clicking on the thumbnail in Bridge I get "Adobe CS5 has stopped working" message  The only way I can open a jpg is to open with ACR....
    If I click a jpg from Windows Explorer, it will open in PS. just not from Bridge. I do have the correct setting in preferences to use PS to open jpg files
    Thanksfor your help.

    The most common reason for patch to fail is the absence of folder "AdobePatchFiles" folder or it's content from location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe\AdobePatchFiles" and it's counterpart location in Mac.
    If this folder or its contents are missing then the patch cannot be applied , the only way to resolve this is to Reinstall the product and then apply patch again.
    Now there can be two cases :
    1) Was this folder removed manually or some other action caused this removal of folder( May be some script or Defragmentation or anything). In this case please reinstall product and apply patch again.
    2) If the folder and its contents are intact but still patcher failed, then please follow the following steps:
         a) Create ribs3debug file without any extension inside %temp% directory of your system
         b) Run Patcher again
         c) If it fails , send the log files that are generated inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
    Hope it clears some of the facts around failure. If there are any underlying issues then we all hope to resolve them as soon as we have more information.

  • FotoStation wipes ACR settings from .xmp

    My employer has recently decided we need to use FotoStation (mostly because we work over a network, and FS is good for that... anyway) to organise, and apply metadata to, our photographs and videos. I do still use Bridge for previewing, ratings and making adjustments via ACR.
    I have noticed that when I have updated the metadata via Fotostaion, it removed ratings and ACR information from the .xmp file in Bridge (not the file itself, just the specific ACR/ratings data within). I made sure that, when I made the changes in FotoStation I selected to "Append new text to existing text" (the other option is to "Replace the existing text"). It definitely removes the ACR information because I tested it out by opening an image in ACR, editing it, clicking done (definitely clicked done not cancel, changes seen in Bridge) then updated the metadata via FotoStation, went back to Bridge and the ACR changes were gone. I opened the "File Info" and read the "Raw Data" before and after the FS edit and the info was there before and gone after.
    SO is there a way to not allow this to happen? FYI I will be posting this to the FotoStation forum as well, I just want to cover both bases. FotoStation doesn't feel it is necessary to have a forum apparently. I'll provide camera and application information below.
    Windows 7 x64
    Working over a network
    Adobe Bridge CS6 (v5.0.2.4)
    Camera Raw 8.4
    FotoStation 7.0 (Build 459)
    Canon EOS 5D (.CR2 files)
    No I cannot work off the network, or get newer versions of applications (at this current time); what I have there is all I have to work with at this point in time.
    I will, for now, simply add the metadata using Bridge but I would still like to see this issue resolved if possible as it is the preferred method utilised by my employer and not my decision to change. My input is not required

    I don't have FotoStation b459 only b60*. I can confirm that you need to rebuild the thumbnails in FotoStation to see metadata changes done in Adobe Bridge. This forces FotoSation to re-index the image.
    There should be no unintentional metadata lost when going back and forth between FS and Bridge. However, you should check that your FotoStation metadata configuration includes the Adobe and IPTC name spaces and fields you need. If not you can create them manually or import from an image. The FotoStation documentation shows that this is easy to do.
    As an aside I find that Adobe CS5 deletes metadata information in fields that are deprecated or no longer belong to the Adobe name space. This is a potential serious problem for digital images generated using legacy software and hardware.
    As a FotoStation user for the last 4 years, in my opinion, your employer is correct. FotoStation is one of the best software for metadata and digital asset management. Good luck!

  • From Bridge To PS To Export - EXIF Data Lost

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering what happens to my EXIF data when I import a Canon RAW file via ACR from Bridge to PS. When I export the file as a JPG and then right-click the jpg properties, none of the camera data is recorded. Perhaps there is a tick-box I've just not ticked?
    Also, if I add keywords in Bridge, should they carry through the export process? I'm interested to know if it's possible to auto complete the keyword field in flickr when uploading an image.
    CS5 with W7 and Canon 5Dii RAW.
    Thanks in advance.

    Can you be a little more explicit about the exact steps you're taking?
    I just opened an image from Bridge into Photoshop by right-clicking a CR2 file, choosing Open In Camera Raw, then hitting the [Open] button in the Camera Raw dialog.  Then I did File - Save As - JPEG, and all the camera metadata was retained (per Explorer's Properties, Details tab).
    When you say "export", exactly how are you saving the file?  With File - Save For Web & Devices, there's a Metadata field that allows you to specify how little or how much to keep.
