Adobe Bridge Changed Cr2 Files to CR2.Jpg

I'm so exhausted trying to figure this out! I'm a new Photoshop user. Just purchased it. Imported or opened Canon 40D raw files to see slideshow. I usually copy the original raw file from the cf card to a folder on my external drive. Now I need to go in and edit them in Lightroom 2.5 and I only see a small size ( 256x170) file "IMG_8611.CR2.jpg (what?). Does Adobe Bridge change file formats on its own? This is scary! Are the original cr2 files still located somewhere on the external drive? What's going on here? Also, is there any person to person support at Adobe? This is terrible. Thanks.

In the first post you said you edited the RAW file in Lightroom. Now you do not mention it. Where are you editing the file? If in Lightship I don't believe the normal mode is to generate a XMP file.
When you open Photoshop it does not automatically open camera raw, so confused here also.
The least confusing way to edit is to open Bridge and right click on RAW file, then choose "open in camera raw". You edit and then click done to save edits, or open image to go to PS. If you double click image it will open PS and the same ACR window.
You can set up Bridge so that the external drive is a "favorite". Beware that if you have Bridge set to "open on startup", the external drive may not be recoginzed as Bridge can load before the computer can recognize it is connected. Disable this function.
You say "I go to the folder and open the image directly into Camera Raw". Is this a separate window with all the adjustment sliders that is titled "Camera Raw 5.x"? Once you do your edits here and click Done it saves the edits and puts a little weird circle in upper right corner of thumbnail to show it has been edited. If you click Open Image it opens it in PS with the edits.
How do you save the picture once you have made your edits, Done, Save, Save As, or ?
You ask "Is there a way to find where the XMP's are and if I can find my original CR2 file in there somewhere? " As I said in previous post you use Win. Explorer. It should be in same folder as file, with same name. NOTE - not all files generate an XMP file, depends on the edit. Some of the info is written directly to the file.

Adobe Bridge Reports Inaccurate File sizes

Im still in CS4 but can't seem to find a forum on CS4. In any case, why does Bridge report inaccurate file sizes? I thought I could use bridge to select all of the M2V files in a folder which I wanted to use in an Encore DVD project to get an accurate total file size. That way I would know if all of the selected files would fit on a single DVD. But Bridge doesn't report an accurate total file size of selected files. What's up with that? Is that too much to ask out of Bridge?

but where is the "activity bar"? I don't see another total indicator of
selected files anywhere.
Well I think we are talking about something you already discovered but there
seems not an official name for it I believe, I call it the activity bar, it
might also be called a status bar or status monitor, can't find the official
name for it at this moment.
Anyway It is at the bottom of the Bridge window left side. Click on a folder
and it tells you the number of items showed and items hidden (and here it
should also say the total amount of folder size but as said before, a long
standing feature request). Click on one or more files and it shows the
amount of selected files and the total size of the selected files.
When first opening a folder in the content window Bridge needs to cache the
thumbs and depending on settings also thumbnails. When caching you see in
this bar a spinning arrow showing it is still caching and also the amount of
files to cache that are left.
A very useful item in my workflow

Can't set a batch automation to open .CR2 files & save as .jpg

My Canon saves as CR2 - I have a whole bunch of pics taken in this format and want to save as jpg's only (delete teh CR2's to save space). I'm not sure it'l work as when you open a CR2 you don't get the Actions window. How can I automate a batch to do this?
Thx

Use the Image Processor—or, better yet, the free Dr. Brown's Services, by the same author as the Image Processor, but on steroids.

Changing photo file formats-Making JPG lower case

I am new to the Mac OS and I run OS X 10.5.1 . I am having trouble uploading pics to myspace that have been transfered from my Canon PowerShot A420 camera. When the pics are taken they are saved in jpg. format but the jpg. is actually all caps (JPG). Myspace is saying the file is not recognized. I have also taken pics with Photo Booth and those are also saved in jpg. format and the jpg. is all lower case (jpg.) and those are easily uploaded to myspace. How can I change the JPG to become lower case.

All you have to do is change the filename. You can right click on the file and choose Get Info and change it in there, or you can simply click on the name once and then again to see it highlighted, at which point you can just change the .JPG to .jpg. That is, if you're showing extensions. If not, go to Finder>Preferences, click on Advanced, and check the box to show extensions.

Adobe Bridge CS6 Raw files not previewing.

I recently upgraded my iMac from a 2007 to a mid 2011 Mac ...the first running fine with CS5...the newer iMac with CS6 and 32GB ram. I can't seem to get Bridge in CS6 on the new machine to preview D800 Raw Nef files. Is there something that I need
to do when importing to help the process? What's strange is that the first files in a folder import fine and preview fine. I downloaded 300 or so images from a 32GB card. The first 150 or so worked fine. The rest just don't preview at all. Help!

Did you use a card reader for the download?
Are all the 300 files relatively the same size?
Did you ues Tools/cache/purge and rebuild the folder cache?

Adobe bridge. Searching files

Hi,
At work our marketing team have a large image store of files (512 gig). They want to use bridge to quickly search for meta tags (for example locate all 'boat' images) however im not sure exactly how to set this up. I have tried building caches (which takes days) and even then, the search is only fast if i have indexed the files in a search previously. (which also takes days).
What is the correct method to setup a system for this small group of users to quickly search for files in a large store by using meta tag descriptions?
thanks

Not sure what you mean by "have tried building caches". A cache is built automatically when you visit a folder, that cache should remain indexed unless you add new files or meta tags to it. You are right in that the file has to be indexed for the search to work.
If you try a search with the box checked "include all non-indexed files" it is very slow as it re-indexes everything with each search.
Not sure how this works on a network like yours, but Vista advanced search is fast for meta data if the directories have been included on the index folder list. The initial index process is slow as it took 12 hours to index just 70 gigs on my computer. For some reason the computer occasionally unchecks the drives to index and I have to redo it. Not sure what causes this, perhaps a virus/spam scan for all I know.

Can't import Cr2 files from my Canon 60D into LR5

I took a trip to New Zealand and I shot in Raw +low res jpeg. I uploaded the files to my little Asus tablet I had purchased right before my trip because I was running out of SD cards. This is the only place I have quite a few images as I formatted the cards to reuse them. I have transferred them to an external hard drive with no problem and then to my main PC which has LR5. It doesn't seem to 'see them' when I try to import. Any ideas? I tried opening one of the images directly into Photoshop CS6 and then I saved it as a jpeg file - then I was able to import it into LR, but I have 100's of photos and not sure I can do a bunch at a time, but at least all is not lost. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

When you say "grayed out" do you mean a gray area instead of a thumbnail as can happen when the monitor profile is bad or do you mean the thumbnail is dim and washed out to indicate an image that cannot be selected as they would be if they had already been imported into the catalog?
You talk about shooting RAW+(low-res)JPG but no where to you talk about what happened to those JPGs. Did the JPGs remain on the tablet when you transferred things to the external hard drive prior to attempting to import or are they on the external hard-drive, too? Are you importing them along with the raw files, but have Treat RAW+JPG as separate files unchecked, so the JPGs have become the sidecar file to the CR2s? The size of the companion JPGs shouldn't matter as far as what happens with the CR2 files when you work with them. They take up space on the card and the tablet memory but I guess you wanted them so you could review your pictures on the tablet since the CR2 files are not processable on the tablet so wouldn't be visible.
Have you imported your camera's raw files into LR before? What is different this time from previous times, the source of the files, or the fact the files were on a tablet, or that there were companion JPGs, or the type of import is different because you usually import direct from the card? What type of import did you do, Add, because the files are supposed to stay on the external drive as the normal place for your images, or Move (or Copy) because the photos end up on an internal drive, normally?
When you open the JPGs in Photoshop, do they first open in Camera Raw or do you not see the ACR plug-in and they open straight in Photoshop?
When you say the saved JPGs out of Photoshop are 1/5th the size, do you mean pixel-dimensions size where a normal 4000x3000 image becomes 800x600, or that the file-on-disk size is of the CR2 files is 25MB but the JPG is only 5MB on disk? Images don't just become smaller in pixel dimensions without a resize happening, and it is perfectly normal for a JPG file to be much smaller on disk than the original raw file, since JPG files use lossy compression.
The imprecision of terms "grayed out" and "size" is confusing to me. I worry that somehow you don't have any CR2 files, only small JPGs, or that the CR2 files became corrupted because they were put on the tablet since you've never done that before. Can you provide an example CR2 file, uploading to www.dropbox.com and post a public download link, here--a file that you don't mind others seeing, just so it can be checked for corruption?

Is it possible to ignore and not import JPG files when a JPG and raw file of the same name exist?

Is it possible to ignore JPG files on import? I shoot raw + JPG and see no reason to keep the JPGs; I shoot JPG primarily as a backup (I back all the JPGs up online to my smugmug account then delete them before importing the raw files), but they're also occasionally handy if one wants to get a quick print in the field. I know that one can set a preference to "Treat JPEG Files Next to Raw Files As Separate Photos", but even then they still are imported.
As an example, say I have this scenario (not on DSLRS, but on pNs cameras, sometimes a JPG but not raw is captured - I suspect this has to do with how the buffer is filling) with these files on a memory card:
IMG_0001.JPG
IMG_0001.CR2
IMG_0002.JPG
IMG_0003.JPG
IMG_0003.CR2
When I import pictures from this folder, I'd like 2 CR2 files and 1 JPG to be imported. I'm even willing to copy the relevant files and drag and drop them onto LR's Library module. But even if I do that, all five files get imported. Thanks!

For this typical example 98% of the image files are transferred while LR is building previews, which is exactly what I was suggesting be avoided.
No, I don't believe that's correct. As I said in my previous post, Lightroom's Import is a two-stage process.....first copy the files from the card, then when that is finished, render whatever previews have been requested.
AFAIK there is nothing unusual about my system, Lightroom has always imported in this two-stage way as far back as I can remember. Based on this I see no 'safety' benefit from copying files first outside Lightroom, then using an ADD import process. On the contrary, as this takes away the possibility of using the "Second Copy on Import" option, as well as having to manually setup import folders, I see nothing but downside from that approach.
Mea culpa, Jim is correct! I checked my Windows 7 system with LR4.2 and I monitored the 'Destination folder' during an import direct from memory card to hard drive. 'Copy and import' showed in the progress bar until all image files were visible using Windows Explorer in the 'Destination folder.' Only after all files had transferred did the progress bar change to ‘Render 1:1 Previews.’ I started using LR1.0 on a Pentium 3 single-core system with Windows XP 32 bit, which I think is when I made this observation. Regardless, it is clear that LR4.2 is using a two-step import process. Thanks Jim for being persistent!
It still begs the question why some people are experiencing very slow imports, damaged image files, and other related import problems from memory cards? My guess (and it's only a guess) is that they have 1) 'Rename Files,' 2) 'Automatically write changes into XMP,' or 3) 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF and PSD files' checked in LR preferences. It would be a good idea for anyone experiencing import issues to try an import with these three (3) options unselected.
My apologies to the OP DBarman for going off topic. Hopefully the extra information and observations are helpful.

Permission Issue with Adobe Bridge

Hello Support,
We are an all mac environment, and we are trying to import and export templates of metadata from Adobe Bridge. The files we are accessing are on a file server on our network. When making changes to metadata using Adobe Bridge we are getting permission denied. The permissions are fine, as we can add, delete, and modify files in the same server directories using finder or other applications. This has happened in the past and the resolution was to create a a whole new profile on the local mac.The new profile then had no issues with importing and exporting metadata. However, this is now the third time we have had to create a new profile on the local mac to resolve this permission issue within Adboe Bridge. We are running Adobe Bridge CS5 version 4.0.0.5.2.9. We are wondering if there is a permanent solution to this, seeing as we do not want to have to re-create a new profile every 3-4 months. Could there be a setting in Adobe that we need to edit or anything else that would avoid us having to re-create the profile? Thanks in advance for all advice to this issue.

any help at all would be gladly appreciated. Also, is there a phone number or chat support with Adobe support that anyone can provide?

Adobe Bridge 5.1 stops working on open in Windows 7. Tried purging, no help.

Tried purging by holding Ctrl and clicking all three options but to no avail.
Any insight?

Ok, in the Event Viewer, I am getting the following in Application Error
"Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Adobe Bridge CS5.1 because of this error.

1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance."
Right BELOW that, it is saying there is a problem with Bridge because of Quicktime:
"Faulting application name: Bridge.exe, version: 4.1.0.54, time stamp: 0x4d6f26b3

What does this mean? I already reloaded Bridge twice but to no avail and the program opens fine when I try to open in my Picturres files , just not when openeing fropm Desktop.

Best point to change picture file type

Is there any way of changing camera file type from JPG to say PNG at the point of import the pictures from my camera to Elements Organizer. As far I know the camera only sends jpeg format. It seems like a long way to have to bring them all in to organizer, pass them to edit and resave each file individually as a changed file type? If someone can give me a better way I would certainly appreciate the information.

At import, you cannot change file types.
It is not clear why you want photos to be .png files. As I understand things, .png files are not a good choice for photographs.
Nevertheless, you can change file types in bulk via the Editor command File->Process Multiple Files. Again, I honestly don't think you are gaining anything by changing .jpg files to something else, so unless you have reasons that I have never heard, I would advise that you leave them as .jpg.

IPhoto/email changing photo file format?

I use an HP digital camera exclusively. All my photos in iPhoto state that they are in .jpeg format. Occasionally photos sent via email to my daughter-in-law arrive in a .mime format which she cannot open on her Windows unit. Does anyone know if the error is created on my end by either iPhoto or email, or is it happening on her end. Quite frustrating to her. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The error is caused by her ISP (or email software).
I'll bet she still uses AOL.
Try "zipping" the file first:
Drag the image from iPhoto Library to your Desktop.
Using the Finder (under the File menu) choose to
"Make Archive of..." to change the file from blah.jpg
to blah.jpg.zip and send it as a test.
Worked like a charm! You were right on both counts with AOL being in use. Thanks for your help.

CR2 files from CANON will corrupted when preview by Adobe bridge

Hello Frides
This problem started for me since Sep 2012, on CS5 and CS6
Windows 7 Ultimate
64 GB Ram
Quad Core i7
ACR 7.3
ACR 6.2
Camera Canon 5D M2
The problem is when I preview my archive files it corrupt the as well; I can see the CR2 file using ACDsee Pro 5 but when I convert them to Tiff or JPEG it export the corrupted file.
The scary part is if I'm losing my archive CR2 files,
I can’t open these file in Canon Digital Photo Professional after they damaged with Adobe.
This evening I was working on a photo and export it as Tiff , when i change directory in Bridge the same CR2 file corrupted!!!!!
I delete the XMP file associated with the CR2 didn’t help, its look like when bridge try to update the thumbnail somehow it
I tested on my portable workstation
Lenovo w701ds
16 GB Ram / i7 QC / Window7 Pro
stil get this random problem.
CHecked the CF card / Card reader / all my cables on both PC's
My problem is a software problem
PLEASE HELP!!!!! SOS

I have tried all of those and different versions/order of import, different drives and different cards.
Sorry, cross posting the same time it seems.
I just put the image back on the memory card and checked it in the camera and it views normally in the camera.
Again, you are not viewing the Raw file at the back of the camera, it can't show because the Raw data needs to be first demosaiced using a dedicated Raw converter like ACR or Canon DPP. What you see is the embedded jpeg preview the camera produces for this purpose and for using in Finder and other systems that can only view jpeg.
I did try downloading it to a different hard drive directly from the camera...I was able to view the image for about 30 seconds before it corrupted. As I mentioned, for this particular image I actually did a full ACR edit and created a jpg from the RAW file yesterday.
Here we are getting to the strange part of the problem. Can you provide a screenshot of the problem file?
When this happened about 6 months ago, after re-creating a file in the adobe library (unfortunately I can't remember where it was or what the file name was)...it stopped.
That probably would mean the Cache file and plug in from the User library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CSxx / Cache and plug in
or from same user library / preferences / Bridgexx plist file. Both files are recreated fresh and empty after restarting Bridge
I was actually able to go back to the corrupted images (4 out of 6) and view the corrupted images and edit them normally!
Try to reset the default setting in ACR
It just started again recently and I have 5 or 6 images that it's happened to. The first 5 corrupted as soon as I loaded them in ACR, this is the first one that corrupted after I edited it. I've tried opening them in iphoto and Canon DPP and they initially preview normally and then corrupt once they fully load the jpg preview.
Can you show both results from ACR and DPP in a screenshot?

I am trying to update Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS6, because it is not opening my CR2 files taken by my Canon 6D. I have tried to go to help > updates, and the software says that it is "Up to Date". However, if I view the plug-in, it says that Camera Raw is only version 7.1. I can not find a direct download for Camera Raw 7.3, only the DNG converter, NOT CAMERA RAW! Please Help!

Did you fix your issue? I am having the same one
