Adobe Bridge database problem

Using Windows XP with 1G RAM and Photoshop Bridge 1.0.4.6 I keep getting the message
"There was a problem with the database and (image name) was not updated correctly. This may affect searches."
It occurs each time that images are added to the computer.
I'm not sure how to cure the problem or whether it is, in fact, causing a problem.
Any ideas guys?

Hello Curt and thank you for replying.
Ok I agree it does that, i don't understand why i don't have the rectangle in stead of the plus sign tho., so let me give you an example of what i mean.
I watched the adobe video tutorial where the lady did a batch rename, went thru the process, i followed along, i renamed my files i. e.: _mikes pictures_0001.jpg thru _mikes pictures_0008.jpg no problem,
but when she did the keyword "boston boats" it put "boston boats" in the picture along with her filenames. She clicked on the window icon or "plus" icon, typed in boston in the key word, hit enter, then selected all, when all were highlited, she checked the boston rectangle and the word boston was in her pictures.
when i do it nothing happens.
Don't mean to confuse.
i just got this and am a super newbie
any help would be appreciated
regards,
mike

Elements 8.0 and Adobe Bridge CS4 problem

I have two problems that appeared in Elemens 8.0 and Adobe Brigde CS4 recently. I'm using the Mac version and a Macbook Pro (4 months old).
I don't really know where to address the problem, but I hope someone in this forum would be able to advice me.
Problem 1
When I browse a RAW-file in Bridge and click the photo to view a 100% zoom and then go back to a normal view, after a few seconds the photo turns alot darker. I've got alot of macro photos of flower and they really loose structure in this process and I would say they get damaged.
On the attached file the left photo is the photo I've viewed and closed and the right one is the original file. Does anyone have an explanation to this problem? I do like to review my files and do a 100% zoom before I choose the best one, but this is not possible in Bridge due to this problem.
Problem 2
After postprocessing my photos in Elements some of them cannot be viewed through Brigde anymore, they get sort of unclear and some show pixels. If I use Finder or other programmes to view the files they look perfectly allright. See examples below, the left one is a screendump from Bridge and the second one is the processed file.

I think this solved the problem, at least some of it.
I deleted the bridge plist file and also ran an update of Bridge CS4. I wasn't sure how to update ACR in bridge, so I didn't do that.
But when I start Bridge now, only some of the files changes color slightly in the thumbnails view. The zoom (loading 100%) also looks different, it zoomed to 800% earlier even though it said 100%, it sort of never ended.
Thank you Barbara, I'm ever so grateful. Now I know where to go if I have more problems

Adobe Bridge Cache problem

When I try to open Bridge I repeatedly get a message telling me to purge the cache. I have tried doing this, but Bridge just runs very very slowly or hangs. I have to close my PC down to get Bridge to re-start.

Try the suggestions mentioned on the below article and check if that helps.

Adobe Bridge "Permissions" Problem

I am using PSE8 with ACR 5.7 & Abode Bridge CS4 v3.0 on a MacBook Pro (running OS 10.6.8). After editing an image in ACR, I am unable to delete the original in Bridge. I get the error message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions". I have been using Bridge for the past few years with so such problem. I tried repairing disk permissions to no avail. A search of the archives didn't reveal any suggestions. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you kindly.

As per your suggestion, I took a screenshot & dragged it into a new folder. I opened the folder & dragged the sreenshot image to the trash. Worked fine. However, oddly I did notice this: When I dragged the image into the trash, I immediately get a pop-up window asking if I want to permanently delete the image in the trash. In other words, I cannot simply drag the image into the trash & leave it there until such time as I choose "empty trash" from the Finder drop-down menu. Very odd.
Out of curiosity, I opened iPhoto, selected an image & dragged it into the iPhoto trash. Although the image was no longer in the album, it also was not in iPhoto trash. It was as if I had deleted the image from the trash by simply dragging it there.
I'm starting to think that this isn't a Bridge problem; but possibly a OS problem. Your thoughts??
BTW, thank you so much for helping me with this.

Cannot copy or clear develop settings in Adobe Bridge

okay, here's my problem. all of the sudden i am no longer able to clear or copy develop settings when i right click on raw files in adobe bridge. the problem seemingly began out of nowhere. when i attempt to use these functions i get the following error message: "Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." i have googled this to no end and it seems there is no solution that actually works. just to be clear, all of the results for this search ive found seem to be users getting the same error message and the inability to OPEN raw files from bridge; this is NOT my issue. i can still open raw files from bridge with no problems whatsoever but i just cant clear my develop settings. ive googled "cannot clear develop settings" and have found nothing specific to my situation. ive tried resetting bridge and camera raw to their default settings and that hasnt worked. ive moved my cache to a different drive and that hasnt worked. i opened bridge from photoshop and that also hasnt worked. id like to think there is a solution that doesnt require me to uninstall and re-install the entire application. any help would be greatly appreciated.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
For that more info is needed like system, specs, versions etc. Check this for a start:

Problem viewing video-content folders in Adobe Bridge

Hi there.
I have problem browsing folders inside Adobe Bridge CS6. When I get into a folder that contains files that are not just images, Adobe Bridge would not responding and would have to be closed. With the folders contains only images I have no freezing issue and Adobe Bridge run very fast and normal. I usually store images and videos inside the same folder on my image-video albums. I am running windows 8.1 on my laptop computer. I have selected several files with diverse formats inside a test folder each time to check if the program is able to represent the folder or not. I choose a mp4 file inside an image album and it did not response. I replaced mp4 with a ts video file, a wma (audio) file and a docx file (Microsoft word) to see if Bridge can show the folder or not. Only in case of Microsoft word file the program worked but with the mouse indicator twinkling. Is there any solution to the problem? Should I use a newer version of PS to overcome this drawback?
Thanks for your attention.

Even the latest versions of Photoshop do not support all types of video files, only some.

Open Adobe Photoshop first. Open a Camera Raw file in Photoshop.
Then open Bridge from within Photoshop from File> Browse in Bridge.
Then try to open Raw files in Bridge. That should work.

Problem with Adobe Bridge

Hello. I have just downloaded a trial version of Adobe Photoshop - to try it out before I buy it. However, I am having problems with not being able to view images and folders I have just created in Adobe Bridge. For example, I've just edited an image but I can only see it in Finder, not in Adobe Bridge. Is this an issue with cached files and is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Curt, In Bridge I can see all the images in my Photo library that were created previously (everything using Adobe Lightroom). The issue has only arisen with new images, and folders, that I am creating now - since downloading the trial version of Photoshop. For example, an image I shoot now and save on my hard drive, will not show up in Bridge, nor will a folder I create say for today's images. I can see everything however in the Mac 'Finder' program, so I know they are there.
I have Adobe Bridge CS6 BUT I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 - both are trial versions. Could this be the issue, I don't think so but I am trying to download the trial of Adobe PS6 as its that version that I would buy. I inadvertently downloaded, and installed, the trial version of PS CS5.

Adobe Bridge CS6 is malfunctioning after the last update raw 8.0.199. Several problems.

Anything known on this issue? Solutions? Even importing files from memory card is a problem.
In import window images are not diplayed as images but all the same blue mini images.
vertical files are changed into landscape positions and more. Mac version.

Problem loading images in adobe bridge html photo gallery

Can someone please, please help me!? I can not figure out why the images will not load in my adobe bridge html photo gallery cs5. I am not getting any error messages in Firefox and just the x in internet explorer.
Here is the link to the gallery page on the site: http://www.irishwetlands.ie/Gallery.html
I created the gallery as a html file for compatibality reasons due to accesbility issues with flash, and followed the general insturctions. The gallery folder is called wetlandsgallery and it is loading everything style-wise except the images themselves.
I then made the gallery within an iframe so it would be more similar to the other pages on the site and contain the menu bar - but no change on the lack of images!
Having looked around online I think it might be something to do with the bin folder?? Does this have some secutity somewhere thats protecting the images? I am also unsure if I filled in the FTP info correctly when creating the site as I was getting the message "could not connect to FTP server" so I had to copy over the file from my hard drive to the server provider files. All the tutortials say to load your gallery and no mention of what to do when it won't connect to FTP server.
If you could also tell me how to edit the image sizes that would be a great help too, as any size changes I make to either the bin/large or bin/thumnail images makes no difference in what appears in the preview?
Help would be very greatfully appreciated as I am pulling my hair out trying to figure it out with no sucess and a possible bald patch!
Thanks in advance,
Áine

Hello Áine,
1. Is it really necessary to comment out this part in your source code?

Using your source code without these things I could see some of your images.
2. Looking to your website with my IE8 into image 7 (e.g.) I saw this:
what means there is a reference to a html file, not to an image. ???
3. Here it becomes interesting (completely contrary to my point 2.), looking for your path:
http://www.irishwetlands.ie/images/GalleryImages/Gallery1_Selection%20of%20IRWC%20members% 20at%20the%20Gearagh.jpg
I can see this image in my IE8 (some people in front of a "wetland". But still I've to assume (as Murray already did too), that there is something wrong with your upload and the pathes.
4. Allow me to make one brief point, we talked about here on several occasions: please don't use spaces in image, folders or filenames. I'll quote Murray: In general, URL encoding spaces does not lead to problems. ... Whatever the details are, though, using spaces in filenames or paths is a bad practice which WILL lead to problems.
5. What concerns the image sizes, maybe later (I didn't understand your question correctly I fear). There is still my language barrier, I'm sorry.

Problem: Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working

I run a Windows computer with Windows 8 64bits OS. When I try to start Adobe Bridge CC I get a message "Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working". I Tried to delete preferences (started with ctrl-key) but no cigar. Then I uninstalled Adobe Bridge and reinstalled it, but still no cigar. The same message occurs whenever I try to open a folder with more than a few pictures in it. My only option is "Close program". Someone has a solution?

I got the reset window but only two options was available (the reset workspace was greyed out). My machine has 16GB ram. The "funny" thing is that suddenly the problem disappeared. I installed Bridge CS6 to circumvent, but one day I started CC again and everything was ok.

Adobe Bridge colour management problems

It appears that jpeg images, converted from Neffs, are not being displayed correctly in Bridge, V2.1.1.9. They display overexposed and open from Bridge into Photoshop CS3 overexposed (faithfully overexposed to Adobe Bridge's representation) and yet shift clicking, or opening in Photoshop CS3 directly from the file the images display correctly. I have tried purging the cache for one of the offending folders but this has not resolved the issue.
I have also Optioned clicked, on launch, and cleared all prefs - this rectifies the problem but once Adobe Bridge is relaunched the files initially preview correctly but then Bridge decides to amend (I can see this happening) and display overexposed thumbnails once again.
It appears that all Canon jpegs saved from RAW (.CR2) files are okay. All Nikon NEFF files display correctly, as do Tiffs saved from the NEFFS, the error appears to be restricted to jpeg images saved from NEF files.
I am using Leopard MacPro 2.8 quad - all Adobe and Apple software up to date, freshly installed and monitor calibrated - correct monitor profile being used, not hosed, as CS3 is good. I am not running the CS3 suite just Bridge, ACR and CS3.
I didn't suffer from this problem on my previous PowerMac G5 (it recently died hence new MacPro), with the same images, using Tiger, Adobe Bridge and CS3 - could this be one of Leopard's many teething problems?
I have some low res screen grabs to demonstrate the problem but I am not sure if, and how, I can upload them to this forum?

PROBLEM SOLVED, sort of any way.
I figured out my problem and it really has nothing to do with Bridge.
Basically my D300 along with other digital cameras is adding additional information into the RAW format that Bridge and other programs like Apeture and Lightroom ignore. Stuff like D-Lighting, Color settings and other information that can make the picture look a specific way is simply dropped at import when opening in bridge because those certain settings are specific to Nikons RAW NEF files. Canon does the same thing on their RAW files as well.
The reason people see the graphics change is because Bridge and other programs usually use the camera's JPG preview with all tweaks to first pull up the thumbnail image in Bridge. When the user clicks on a thumbnail to view the RAW file info or import it into Photoshop, Bridge interprets the RAW info as it can and opens the file. The extra information that helps the photos look a specific way are simply dropped because Bridge does not know how to apply that information.
So unfortunately for now, I guess I am stuck with Capture NX from Nikon if I really want to see the image as it was taken originally without having to do extra work inside of ACR. And before anyone says it, I know you can build profiles that will import the RAW files the same way every time, but so far I have not been able to tweak the settings where the images look exactly the same to this point. It also looks like Nikons software does a much better job of importing the RAWs with less color noise. Too bad their program is slow and completely crappy to use. Kinda sucks, but I guess that is the name of the game right now.
Laters,
Joel
