Adobe Bridge CS 4 missing file properties

I'm working with photoshop files (CS 4) and a few seem to have dropped some of the metadata from the file properties in the bridge browser. Dimensions, Resolution, Bit depth, and Color Mode are missing, and the Color Space is listed as Untagged, even though it is in fact tagged as Adobe 1998 in the Photoshop file. It's as if I inadvertently hit it a quick key to dump the information, as it has only occurred on a couple of files. The thumbnail appears smaller too. Any ideas?

I tried all of the above to no avail. I saved a copy in another folder and the file still had the diminished thumbnail and missing data. I added another layer (the files contain many layers and adjustment layers) to the file, cropped and re-saved and it picked up the missing data on the new version. I made some benign changes on my original, but alas it didn't work.
When I get a chance I'll do some more testing on this. It may have something to do with I import certain layers. I have been flowing layers in from both Aperture and Bridge, and from the latter, sometimes as smart objects. So maybe there is something going on there.
Except for this minor glitch, and some more serious PS stability issues, I am preferring the Bridge/Photoshop workflow to the Aperture/Photoshop workflow, and I'm thinking of jettisoning Aperture altogether in favor of the "browser" method of managing files.
I appreciate all the suggestions and will get back to this problem soon. But for know I have to meet a deadline.

  • Adobe Bridge CC cannot obtain files from this device.

    I am getting this error message when I attempt to upload videos to my Mac from my Canon 7D:
    Adobe Bridge CC cannot obtain files from this device. Please be sure the device is properly plugged in and the battery is full charged.
    Battery is full charged and camera is connected properly. I have restarted the camera, Bridge, and the computer as well. I tried reinstalling Bridge and it allowed me to upload 3 of the video files. Then the error message came back. There were a few RAW images on the camera that I was able to upload, but when I tried the video again I got the error message. I read a post about renaming the folder that you are saving to as a fix. I tried that as well, but it did not work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
    Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21) Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader. 
            • Drains the camera battery
            • Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
            • Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
    • runs the risk of wearing out the camera's connector,      
    • Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

    I have been using Adobe Bridge for years with my photography files. All of a sudden Adobe Bridge is changing my files! They go extremely dark and then a weird reddish. And not just my RAW files but my TIFFs as well. What is going on???

  • Unable to rotate downloaded photos- missing file properties

    I copied/pasted my photos from Windows Explorer. I tried rotating the pictures to the correct position, however it throws an error indicating that the picture contains missing file properties. Has anyone encountered the same thing? How can you fix it?
    BTW, Using iphone 4S with iOS 5. Never had any issues with my 3GS.

    Well that message is a Finder error.
    As to the iPhoto problem:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair library permissions.

  • Adobe Bridge Corrupts Canon CR2 files

    Viewing Canon CR2 RAW files from a Canon EOS 7D or Canon EOS 40D camera will corrupt some images. After Adobe Bridge creates a
    thumbnail of the CR2 files, some images previews will show the file with corruption (large white square or discolored areas). The CR2 file then
    becomes corrupt. The file is not corrupt prior to viewing in bridge, but it becomes corrupt after viewing in bridge. The file is corrupt because it can
    no longer be processed with any other RAW conversion program including ACR, DPP, or BreezeBrowser. If the file is marked as read only before viewing in bridge, the image preview shows corrupt in Bridge but the file remains intact and can be processed with Canon's DPP software. This issue first occured with CS4 and the ACR 5.5 update. The problem seemed to be less prevalent with the ACR 5.7 update. However after upgrading to CS5 this problem is back and worse than ever.
    When doing a detailed file compare between a corrupted version of a CR2 file and  a copy of the same file before the corruption occurs it appears as if metadata has been written to the wrong part of the file (middle) instead of the beginning (header).
    Operating System: Windows 7

    I am trying to fix this problem as well.
    In my case, I've got Windows 7 (32-bit), CS5, and a Canon 50D.
    I've got photos that I can view perfectly in Canon's Digital Photo Professional, but the SAME photo in the SAME directory opens corrupted in Bridge.
    Here's an interesting wrinkle:
    Scenarios:
    (fyi - all my CR2 images are pulled off the CF card using Bridge's loader)
    CR2 Image opened in Canon's Digital Photo Professional:  Opens Fine.
    CR2 Image opened in Photoshop directly (skipping Bridge):  Opens Fine.  (opens in Camera Raw first, of course, but still Fine)
    CR2 Image 'browsed to' in Bridge:  Corrupted pinky/yellow/white.
    CR2 Image double-clicked in Bridge, opens in Camera Raw:  Corrupted pinky/yellow/white.
    Bridge closed.
    CR2 image opened in Photoshop directly again.  Pay attention... opens 1st in Camera Raw: Corrupted, but for only five seconds! It refreshes on its own and now is Fine!  Click Open Image into Photoshop and it Opens Fine again.
    It's clear to me Bridge/Adobe something is corrupting these images.
    It seems sometimes that the corruption becomes permanent, and even Canon's Digital Photo Professional shows a corrupted image.  In the scenarios and order mentioned above, the CR2 file remains openable fine in Digital Photo Professional.  So, why other images I have cannot open well in Digital Photo Professional, I do not know -- perhaps the order I clicked things caused Bridge to update the CR2 file?
    I'm in the process of updating all CS5 software to the latest, in case I'm missing some updates.  If anything improves as a result, I'll update here.

  • Adobe Bridge Image previews missing

    I have 2 digital cameras one is a Fujifilm Fine Pix Pro S3 and the other one is a Nikon D200. The Fuji photo files show image previews in Adobe Bridge (I use Photoshop CS2) but the nikon files only show an icon with NEF displayed. How do I get the image previews? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am using an iMac 27" too and I've faced in with this situation as well as you are, I hve tried several different setting but it feels like it is normal. I've gone trough on Bridge, CC and CC2014 nut they are all the same. If you open on camera raw any raw files you might see similar softness. As soon as you convert to JPG,TIFF, PNG... it will be fine.

  • Adobe Bridge saving my edited files in an 'unknown format' - Losing my work

    When I edit an image in Photoshop through Adobe Bridge and save it as a jpeg, it is not saving as selected. Instead, it is saving the edited image in an 'unknown' and unusable format. I loose  my editing work. I discovered this doesn't happen if I save the image in a new folder but I would still like to fix this problem; I've been editing for two years without this issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it?

    Adobe Bridge does not "save", open or edit anything other than the metadata.  The files are saved by whatever application hands them  to them, whether that be Photoshop, Camera Raw, Illustrator, MS Word or whatever. 
    If files are being lost in just one folder, you have corruption in that particular folder.  The first step is to go to the Tools menu in Bridge, and run the "Purge Cache for Folder 'xxxxyyy'"  command.  The next step is to create a brand new folder, not inside the corrupted one, and move all your files there.
    You should also run Apple's Disk Utility to Repair the Disk and to Repair Permissions for your disk.
    Next time, please provide details about your setup.

  • Adobe Bridge and Nikon D300 files

    Hi to everyone.
    A simple question, for a simple answer (i hope..).
    Will Adobe Bridge in the update 2.1.1.9 see my NEF files taken with a Nikon camera? Is that the latest update we have around?
    Does any of you have experience with NEF files and Bridge?
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Ciao,
    MB

    It isn't the version on Bridge that has any impact on that. If you haven't already installed Camera Raw 4.5 then do that as soon as possible. I'm not sure which version added support for your camera, but it is supported in the latest version. Just make sure you install the plug-in in the proper folder. Full instructions are on the download page.

  • Adobe Bridge cs5 cannot obtain files from this device.

    I download photos to my computer using a Kingston downloading device.
    Since installing Mavericks the above message comes up and will not carry out the download.
    Is this a known problem with Mavericks and is there a remedy?
    I would say that using the same device my photos download perfectly on my MacBook Pro.

    1. Adobe Bridge CS5.1 cannot obtain files from this device.
    Please ensure that the device is connected properly and that the battery is charged and try again.
    2.I also get a message telling me that the "disk was not ejected propery" which is not the case.

    Thanks Eric
    The MacBook Pro is not running Mavericks and sorry about the double post.
    I have actually solved the problem and the answer might be of use to others with the same problem.
    There is a firmware update that will correct the problem.
    It's at
    http://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/products?model=fcr-hs3
    There is a small catch in  that the firmware update can only be done on a Windows machine but I have been told that once this is done it can be used with OSX9 .I have just done the download but  I haven't checked this out yet.

  • Can an Adobe Bridge web gallery slideshow file be inserted in Dreamweaver as part of the homepage?

    Hello.  I am designing the homepage of my first website in Adobe Dreamweaver CS6.  And I would like for the page to include a slideshow that automatically plays as soon as a visitor opens the webpage.  I am interested in using Adobe Bridge to create the slideshow using the feature "web gallery."  The tutorials that I've seen describe how to create the web gallery slideshow, then show how it appears when uploaded to the web as an html file through FTP to a server.  It appears as a separate page.  And I notice that the web gallery file is an index file.  I would appreciate knowing how to include the html file as part of the homepage.  Will simply renaming the file from being "index.html" to something like "my_first_slideshow.html" make possible including it in the site structure?  Or will doing so cause it and the files attached to it to be inaccessable when viewed in a browser?  If it can be included in the site, is an <iframe> needed to be in the code for the slideshow to fit into?  Thank you.

  • Adobe Bridge CC associates Ai files with Illustrator CS 5.5

    Does anyone know how to get Bridge CC to open files in Illustrator CC and not trying to open them in Illustrator CS 5.5.
    I haven't got CS 5.5 so i get an error every time i try to open Ai files from Bridge CC. have tried the "File Type Association",
    but Ai files is not present in the list.

    Can you provide more details about system and resources?
    Did you ever use a trial version of CS5.5 (has to otherwise you should not have this option)
    In CC as in all other versions of Bridge there should be a file type association for Illustrator (.ai, .ait) present in this list. If this is not the case and you have Illustrator CC installed and working on your system then something might be very wrong with your install of Bridge.

    I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
    So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
    This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.
