Adobe Bridge CS 5 and Photoshop Elements 8 compatibility?

I have Photoshop Elements 8 installed with Camera Raw 5.5 on a Windows 7 platform.  I recently purchased Photoshop CS 5 which came with Camera Raw 6.2.  Both products work well independently.  Where I'm encountering an issue is when I use Adobe Bridge to access an image file for processing in Camera Raw 6.2, the changes made to the file show up in Adobe Bridge, but are not observable in the Photoshop Elements Organizer.  When I look at the file properties I can see that Camera Raw 6.2 updated the file and the updated date does appear in the PS Elements Organizer.  Also the items listed in the Camera Raw metadata are different in the two products (PS vs PSE).  I'm wondering if Camera Raw 6.2 is writing data in a structure that is not supported by Camera Raw 5.5?  Will updating PSE to the Camera Raw 6.2 version solve this mystery or is likely to introduce a more serious problem?
I happen to like some of the features of the PSE Organizer that are not available in Adobe Bridge so I'd like to have them work well together.

Here's some additional information obtained after further investigation.
I edited a .NEF file from Adobe Bridge using Camera Raw 6.2, then saved the file.  I checked with Windows Explorer to see that the file modification date and time reflected the current time -- they did.  Then I viewed the file in PSE 8 Organizer.  The file did not reflect the changes so I updated the thumbnail.  That made it clear that changes had been made, however, but there was a noticable difference between the renderings of the image in the two applications.  Colors appeared more saturated in the PSE displayed version.
I've also tried to update the PSE 8 Camera Raw plug-in from the distributed version 5.5 to the current version 6.2 but was not successful.  The online instructions don't seem to address all the fine points of making that work on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
Another less serious issue is that tags and captions don't seem to be totally mobile between the two applications.

  • Adobe bridge or iphoto with photoshop elements

    Hi I am a new Mac user - have come from windows then linux and finally hoping to be less frustrated on a Mac!!
    I am just learning about all of the features on iphoto, adobe bridge and elements (which i have used before). I need the editing capacity of elements but am unsure of which photo database / organisational system would be best for me to work with it.
    I am not a photographer but have lots of photos and I do a lot of website editing.
    Currently I have several versions of an original photo, eg cropped and rescaled to particular dimensions for a particular site and in other dimensions for another site - some sites have 100kb limits, some pictures need to be specific sizes - eg 555 x 135 pixels but don't have such specific size limitations. i currently organise these by putting crop or web or header file name extensions to the original file and save as.
    I re-use the files a lot so need to keep the saved versions - otherwise I have to re-edit them each time.
    In iphoto it seems that I need to make duplicates of the original to be able to have several versions all side by side to choose from but this will triple or quadruple the hard disk space when i just need to save the versions (much smaller in size) as different files.
    Otherwise I think I need to save it to the desktop and then import it which is time consuming and messy.
    In bridge it seems more flexible for this particular feature but it doesn't seem to have all the features that iphoto has for other projects like making books, calenders, the face recognition etc.
    I know I need to choose between the two and stick with one, but am unsure which would be best.
    Is there a way to save various versions of an original in iphoto easily after it is edited in photoshop and to have some system of naming the files so I can see which version it is as it not always easy to see quality differences in a thumbnail?
    Thank you very much for your advice.

    iPhoto is a Mom and Pop photo organiser and you’re usage is a bit beyond that.

    Yes you will. Aperture has the ability to have different versions from one Master.
    Otherwise I think I need to save it to the desktop and then import it which is time consuming and messy.
    Hard to see what that would save really.

    No, you can’t have different versions from one Master (see above) but if you duplicate a file you can give the dupe a title.

  • Mavericks (Apple OS 10.9) and Photoshop Elements 11 compatibility

    Will Apple's new OS 10.9 (Mavericks) be compatible with Photoshop Elements 11. I enquired at Apple and they said that I should need to ask Adobe

    Kellyhuskins you can find the system requirements for Photoshop Elements 11 at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop-elements.h tml.  Photoshop Elements 11 has been tested by Adobe up to Mac OS 10.8.  It should work under Mac OS 10.9.  If you do face any specific difficulties with Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac OS 10.9 then I would recommend posting to the Photoshop Elements forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and Photoshop Elements 6.0 in 2008. I now need to load them onto a new computer. I see in these downloaded purchases in my account, but I cannot access them. Please help! Is there a CD that can be sent to me, or anothe

    Please help!  I downloaded from the internet, and have my serial numbers.

    Generally you will have to go back to the original download and use that. If you did not backup the download, you may be out of luck. If the new machine is a Win 8 machine, the AA 8 will likely not work anyway. Not sure about PhotoShop. The use of the Standard makes it even harder. There are downloads for Pro, but not Std as understand it. You might try at Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools to see if you can find a copy.

  • Intel iMac and PHotoshop Elements 4 compatability

    Can anyone tell me if Photshop Elements 4 will run on the new i-Mac with Intel Processor? I'd like to know before I buy it. The sales people say Yes, but does anyone have experience with it yet?

    I have experience with Photoshop from CS2.
    Until PE is a Universal binary it will run with Rosetta, the emulation software in OS X that translates PPC code to Intel code on the fly. The software should run fine. It may take longer to start, but then it should run as fast or faster then on a PPC Mac. Rosetta and PPC apps use more memory so you should quit any apps you aren't using until you get Ub updates for any PPC apps you are running.

    It is not clear if your Premiere Elements 10 was a downloaded purchase from Adobe or from an authorized reseller.
    However, do you have a purchased serial number for the product?
    If you have the purchased serial number, you can download Premiere Elements 10 tryout files from the following web site
    and insert your purchased serial number in them during installation to make them your own.
    Photoshop Elements 10 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
    It is important to read and carry out carefully that web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.
    Just in case message....
    But there could be a complication with regard to files from any source.
    Adobe allows you to have the purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers.
    If your failed computer has Premiere Elements trapped on it representing 1 purchased serial number, you will be able to installed
    the purchased serial number on only one more computer. If you have the purchased activated serial number trapped on 2 failed
    computers, then you will not be able to use that purchased serial number on another computer until you deactivate at least one
    on one of the other two computers. In this case, it is only Adobe who might be able to help you. None of this may apply to you. I mention
    it as a just in case caution.
    Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarification.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install.

    Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install. Support Advisor is of no help.Anyone had the same problem? It has all worked perfectly for some years now, but refuses this week.Has Adobe changed something.Windows 7.

    What exactly means "refuses"?
    This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
    “We've encountered the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
    Get Adobe Support Advisor”
    OR
    on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
    “Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
    When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed.  Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

  • Can't go from Bridge/Camera Raw to Photoshop Elements 8

    I originally installed trial version of photoshop CS4 and photoshop elements 8.  I decided I liked elements better so that is what I purchased.  I did fresh install off of purchased disk.  I can launch bridge from within PSE8, then camera raw from Bridge, but can't Open into PSE8 from bridge or camera raw.  I can open camera raw but when I finish and click "open" the file always tries to open into Photoshop CS4 (for which the trial is now expired). 
    I have updated to camera raw 5.7 and followed the instructions on the adobe site.  I can tell the camera raw plug in is running from the CS4 library   Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats  (deleted it there and it no longer worked)  and not from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\Elements 8\File Formats. 
    Any suggestions on how to get my PSE8 to play nice with bridge and camera raw and run the camera raw plug in from my PSE8 file formats instead of CS4\file formats?   

    Yes I am using an Imac with snow leopard.  Thank you for your help!  I changed every file association I could in the bridge file associations from PS CS4 to Photoshop Elements.  
    Changing the file type association took care of the problem in bridge for .dng files as long as I open the dng file from bridge to photoshop elements (brings up camera raw which when click done returns me to elements).
    The panasonic file association in bridge is .raw but my raw camera files are .rw2.  Can't find that one in the associations of bridge.  The fortunate thing is they do open from finder into preview (if that helps at all).
    I can now work around this by changing them to .dng files, but that is kind of bulky.
    Thanks again for your assistance.

  • New Mac: Why are CC and Photoshop Elements not working when Lightroom and Reader are fine

    Last week I changed computers (swapping an old Mac for a 13-in MacBook Pro Retina running OSX Yosemite 10.10.3. I copied all my data over to the new machine using Migration Assistant.
    All programs work fine (including my copy of Lightroom 3 and Reader XI). But my CC and Photoshop Elements 10 do not. I have tried uninstalling both, but whenever I try to reinstall PE10 from its disk or download it just stops almost at the end. I then I get an "initiation failed" message, along with a request to download the now defunct "Support Advisor" app!
    I cannot download Adobe Application Manager, or the CC desktop app either - for the former I get an "initiation failed" message, along with the "download Support Advisor" app" message again! For the latter I get a message saying "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." Then I get a message and a link to download Creative Cloud. Then when I've downloaded it and I click on the installer... it runs for a bit and then I get the message again: "Adobe Creative Cloud Is Needed to Resolve this problem - however it is missing or damaged." And I get a prompt and link to download the CC app. Guess what happens next? And so it goes on. And on and on, in a tedious circle.
    This is incredibly annoying and frustrating as I have work to do! Anyone have any ideas what's happening?
    Cheers

    do not use migration to install adobe programs.
    you should uninstall and clean whatever you've done, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then dl the cc desktop app to your new computer and use it to install your adobe cc programs, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
    if you have non-subscription adobe programs, use the installation files for them:

  • Acrobat 8 Standard and Photoshop Elements

    I need to download my Acrobat 8 Standard and Photoshop Elements on my new computer. Adobe downloads will not let me do this and tech support says they cannot help because of the age of the products?

    You needed to keep them when you first downloaded. It's vital to keep downloads you pay for, and to burn them to CD so you don't lose them if your disk fails. It is likely to be too late to get these now, but let's see if someone has any info that might help. Good luck!
