Adobe Bridge & .EPS files

After renaming and sorting all 5-10 gigs of my vector artwork last night, by catergory/style and launching Bridge to start keywording that particular Main folder (Vector Art) of all my design materials to get more organized, I ran into an issue!! While weeding thru my various clipart packages and downloaded stuff over the years, I assumed that keeping the EPS instead of the AI file would be more friendly for any work enviroment within bridge and cross platform but was wrong apparently. So, I tossed all the AI files that came with the EPS equivalent, without really giving it to much thought. As I start inputing keywords and start trying to assign them to particular image or image groups, I quickly found out that Adobe Bridge doesn't supported the keywording of an EPS file and didn't apply any keep words to any files with the .eps extension.
Is there something I am missing here?
After thinking for a minute, I should have done the opposite and keep the AI's and tossed the EPS files, being AI is a native Adobe software and Bridge would handle these alot better, but by then again It took me 4 hours to catergorize all the vector art into subfolders and do a little renaming.
To save from having to retreive all the deleted AI files via Time Machine, what should I do? >>>>>>
1. Use Illustrator and actions to manually convert all the vector art to .AI
2. Find a 3rd party program (if there is one) that could make the conversion quick and easy for me so I can get back to keywording
3. Restore the original mess of a folder and start all over and keep the AIs instead of the EPSs
4. or, look for a setting within Bridge to actually let me tag my EPS files
5. none of the above
Any suggestions on workflow or software to quickly and painlessly accomplish would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Again
Drew

For those questions you will be better of in the dedicated Illustrator
forum, just check the path above this forum to adobe forums and search for
Illustrator to drop this problem.
And for some reason it is not possible to add metadata or keywords to EPS
files unless you have converted them using Illustrator. But I don't know the
correct settings for the conversion. Just tried one and saved as EPS in
Illustrator CS5. It then is possible to add metadata but the file size also
from 250 kb to 1,5 MB !

CS2: Adobe Bridge Cache File on Desktop...Why?

For some unknown reason...CS2 has started placing "Adobe Bridge Cache" file shortcuts on my desktop. When I click on one, I receive a Win XP error message that says the file .bc is unkown and can't be opened.
These shortcuts have never appeared before. Now the simple act of opening Bridge and looking at jpeg files seems to initiate it.
Questions: Why is PS doing this? Do I need to pay attention to it? If not, how do I stop PS from cluttering up my desktop.
Thanks!
Ed

Ed,
Yes you can. The cache facilitates the quick display of images in a folder.
When there's no cache, Bridge has to render thumbnails from every image file upon viewing a folder's contents. This can take a couple of minutes.
Rob
P.S.
>I do, indeed, have image files in a folder on my desktop.
This would mean that there is a cache inside that folder, *not* on the desktop itself.

Adobe Bridge EPS-Dateien Verschlagwortung defekt

Hallo zusammen,
ich hege große Hoffnung das mir hier jemand weiterhelfen kann!
Wir haben einen großen Fundus an Bildern, die ich nun 3 Tage lang verschlagwortet habe. Die Suche funktioniert super und alles ist übersichtlich.
ABER nachdem ich die EPS-Dateien verschlagwortet habe, lassen sie sich nicht mehr im Illustrator öffnen, folgende Fehlermeldung tritt auf:
"Die Illustration kann nicht geöffnet werden, Die Illustration enthält einen verbotenen Operanden.
Verbotener Operator: {eps_metadata_stream} Kontext:"
Auch wenn man die Verschlagwortung im Nachhinein entfernt sind die Dateien defekt.
Ich kann sie mit Photoshop und Acrobat öffnen, das funktioniert einwandfrei. Über Acrobat kann ich eine neue EPS-Datei erstellen, somit ist sie nicht ganz verloren,
aber das bedeutet ich muss alle Dateien nochmal bearbeiten. Das kann doch nicht sein???
Das komische dabei ist, nicht alle EPS-Dateien sind kaputt, manche lassen sich problemlos öffnen, obwohl sie mit dem gleichen Verfahren verschlagwortet wurde.
Der Adobe Support konnte mir leider auch nicht wirklich weiterhelfen.
Hat jemand eine Idee/ Rat/ Ahnung???
Als Zusatzinfo wir arbeiten mit Adobe Bridge CC und Illustrator CC 2014 auf Windows7
Vielen Dank,
Sonja

Bei EPS, die in Illustrator ohne Probleme geöffnet werden können, kann man dort Metadaten einfügen, wenn das erfolgt ist, lassen die sich entsprechend auch in Bridge bearbeiten.
Hat es einen Grund, wshalb Du noch mit EPS arbeitest? Verwende doch AI oder PDF, da kannst Du problemlos Metadaten einfügen. Innerhalb der Creative Suite sehe ich keinen Grund, weshalb man noch EPS verwenden sollte.
/// Eine Lösung wäre, alle EPS über den Distiller in PDF zu konvertieren und diese zu verwenden, in die PDFs lassen sich die Metadaten ohne Probleme in Bridge pflegen. Zumindest solltest Du auf die lange Frist vermeiden, EPS zu verwenden, weil dieses Dateiformat veraltet ist und weil es keine Transparenz unterstützt, zu den verlustreichen Dateiformaten gezählt werden muss.

Adobe Bridge CS6 File Issues

Hello all, I just upgraded to the Creative Cloud on my PC, downloaded PS CS6 - Bridge and Camera Raw. I'm configuring and working with CR2 files, no problem, however, Bridge will not let me delete, rename or update the metadata of my jpgs.
Any suggestions?
Captain

Curt, I'm running Windows 7 with 4 GB RAM - mother board won't support more than that. I don't think permissions is the problem - same internal drive and the .CR2's work fine. I can delete bad ones, batch rename and update the metadata no problem, it's just the jpegs.
OK, I have the same setup on another computer - same Bridge version, no problems with the Jpegs. Issue here is, it's the backup computer and not my digital processing one with all the necessary drives.
Both computers are running Win 7 SP1 with 4 GB RAM 3.0 GHz processors. Only difference is the digi system has 2 monitors.
Where would I check about "Read Only" for just the jpgs?

Adobe bridge Eps Dateien verschlagworten

Hallo Leute,
hoffe von euch kann mir jemand weiterhelfen. Ich arbeite mit Bridge CS5 und habe bis jetzt immer Bilder mit Metadaten versehen, verschlagwortet, Copyright und Beschreibung angegeben etc. Nur bei EPS Dateien will er das nicht machen.
Da kommt immer follgende Fehlermelung: In der Datei "XY.eps" können keine XMP-Dateien gespeichert werden. Es werden keine Änderungen vorgenommen.
Oder auch diese: Diese Eigenschaft kann nicht geändert werden.
Was mich nun aber noch komplett stutzig macht ist, das aber nicht bei allen eps Dateien diese Fehlermeldungen kommen. Einige einzelne kann ich immerhin mit Copyright und Beschreibung versehen. (Stichwörter anhängen geht aber auch hier nicht.)
Woran könnte das liegen? habe ich etwas in meinen Voreinstellungen falsch? Hoffe hier kann mir jemand helfen :-)
Lg,
Anke

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.

How do I export my "manual sorting" of files to my new Adobe Bridge CC installation?

Hi all,
I'll try to explain my situation:
I have Adobe Bridge CC installed on my computer. I use the "manual sorting" to view and manage my files (mostly .eps/.psd).
I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting. How do I save/export my manual sorting in order to import it on a new Bridge installation?
Thank you all in advance,
Francesco

I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting.
Manual sorting is not meant for a permanent sort order nor is it designed to do so, when switching to a new window or other sort order you will loose the previous sort order. However there is a way to retrieve the last sort order used with a script Paul Riggott once wrote. But I'm not sure you can transport this sorting to a new system version because when you install a system from scratch you also need to recache the files for the Bridge Cache library. It might be possible to also copy the hidden file with the last sort order but that would mean a trial and error procedure.
Check this post, at the bottom is also a link for the site where you can get the script and how to install and use it:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4748987#4748987
Personal I would use batch rename to keep the sort order safe. You can select all files in the content window and add a sequence number in front (with enough digits to match your number of files) of your existing filename. In this way you can easily resort your collection when your manual sorting is lost for whatever reason and also the files will have the correct sort order on your system folder also.

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

Set file type associations in Adobe Bridge for Photoshop CS6

Is there a way I can edit the registry so that in Adobe Bridge, under edit, preferences, file type associations, the jpg extension is forced to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop? I can do it manually, but is there a registry key i can export to apply it to multiple computers?

Yes, in theory, but it is generally not recommended. But that location would depend on what OS you are on. This video give the locations for the Photoshop files, Bridge would just be in a neighboring folder: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Can't see CR2 files in Adobe Bridge CS6

I have recently purchased Canon 5D Mark iii and have taken a few shots in RAW mode. When I try to open the file in Adobe Bridge CS6, I can't view the file.
I also have a canon T2i and the raw file from that camera show perfectly fine.
What could be the problem? All my CS6 software is up to date.

Updated to ACR 8.4? There is an issue:
The fix is to download a 8.4 again via the link below and follow the instructions to replace the existing 8.4 plugin:

TIFF files in Adobe bridge

My normal routine after I have converted my Nikon NEF files and processed them in Photoshop CS3 is to save as TIF files. These have always then been visible in Adobe bridge CS3. For some reason I can no longer see the picture thumbnail in Adobe bridge - instead I just get a thumbnail showing a TIFF logo rather than the picture itself. Does anyone know how I can restore things so that the thumbnail shows the actual converted picture? My NEF files and any converted JPGs continue to show as actual picture thumbnails in Bridge.
Many thanks
Steven

Hello Curt and Charlie
Thank you both for taking the time to help me with my tif file problem. Unfortunately none of the sugestions worked and consequently I decided to reinstall the Photoshop suite without removing the existing programme. I did this hoping it would repair any corrupted files and because I took fright at the deactivate message not knowing what the implications would be for installing on other computers or in the event of a hard drive failure.
Anyway, the result was that I still could not see my tifs as picture thumbnails in Bridge. I hit on the idea of trying the original RAW files and converting them into fresh tifs in Photoshop CS3. Hey presto, I can see these fresh tifs as picture thumbnails in Adobe Bridge, so I can go back to my original workflow if I want with any new photographs.
I then reinstalled lightroom 2 and it happily shows all the tifs I possess as picture thumnails. By some trickery I don't understand I used the edit as a copy function in Lightroom for one of the tifs I can't see in Bridge. I was surprised to find the new copy created in Lightroom is viewable as a picture thumbnail tif in Bridge. So I now have a workaround to see some of my old heavily-processed tifs as picture thumbnails in Bridge. I'm still completely mystified why my original tifs won't show as picture thumbnails in Bridge.
The irony is that after this amount of playing around in Lightroom I have begun to get used to it and found it can do what I was trying to do in Bridge i.e. quickly identify and compare different versions of the same image after differing Photoshop post-processing regimes. Instead, I'm now wondering if I will ever need to bother with Bridge again - is there anything that Bridge can do that Lightroom can't?
Thanks again for your help
Regards
Steve

Corel Painter RIF Files In Adobe Bridge CS5.1?

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can view Corel Painter 12 RIF file thumbnails in Adobe Bridge CS5.1 For Windows? Right now Bridge just shows a blank icon. When I used Painter 11, the RIF file icons showed a thumbnail of its image in Bridge. When I upgraded to Painter 12 this went away. I can see the Painter RIF file thumbs in Windows Explorer, but not within any Adobe application.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Michael R.

Yep, same here. Running Adobe bridge CS5.1, upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. Navigated to folder that contained a zip file and Bridge crashed. I removed the zip file, launched Bridge again,and went to that same folder. Worked perfectly. On a hunch, I dragged a zip file back into that folder in Bridge, and *WHAP* down she goes again.
Looks like we wait for a fix. *sigh*
Unless...File type association somehow comes into it? Interesting, I just checked (it's under Preferences) and neither a zip file or a doc file is in the list.
Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any way to add a new file type. Hm. Don't know if it has anything to do with the crashing, but man, what a pain this is!

Can't view raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

Hi,
I bought a new iMac OS X version 10.8.5 . I have a Canon 5d Mark ii and I shoot in RAW. I installed CS4.. I also downloaded the newest version of the camera raw plug-in (5.7). I placed the plug-in in applications--> adobe photoshop CS4 -->plug-ins--> file formats.
In Bridge, I can only view the grey thumbnail that says CR2. I can click on it and it'll open up into camera raw where I can edit some and then open it into photoshop. I want to be able to view the images in bridge to know which ones I want to open up in camera raw. Also, when I right click on the thumbnail there isn't an option that says "open in camera raw".
Should I also place the camera raw plug-in in the applications-->Adobe Bridge-->plug-ins?
When I click on about plug-ins on photoshop, it's showing me 2 camera raw plug-ins.. version 5.0 and version 5.7. I can't find 5.0 to delete?
Thanks

If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

How to use .eps files in Adobe Photoshop CS

I purchased some vectorshapes from Vectorstock, and downloaded .zip files to my desktop. I then extracted the files to the /presets/customshapes folder in Adobe Photoshop CS. (I have Windows 7). I then found out they were not .CSH files but Encapsulated PostScript or .eps files. How can I use them in Adobe Photoshop? Please help

Thanks, that helps.
