Adobe Bridge question...

I have a question about Adobe Bridge...
When I make changes to a Photoshop image’s description, under File info, Adobe Bridge will not recognize the changes and the new words do not come up in a search. Why is that?

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
    My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
    Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
    The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 display question

    I am a landscape photographer.  Many times I shoot multiple exposures of the same scene to combine them later in HDR.  These are generally 3 or 5 exposures taken at the same time.  It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR.  Does anybody know how to do that?  I could not see it in the View options in the menu bar of Bridge.  I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.1.21) on MAC OSX 10.6.8. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    You can't do so in Bridge when having different amounts of series. If you shot always 5 you could drag the content window to a new size in combination with changing the thumbnail size so 5 thumbs would show in a row. The same with 3 but there is no way to have a content window showing 1 line with 3 and 1 line with 5 files in the same panel.
    In filmstrip mode you have 1 single line but that does not meet you wishes also.
    There is the option to auto stack for HDR or Photomerge (Stacks / Auto stack Panorama-HDR) but frankly spoken this sucks because it either does not do the job properly or simply crashes Bridge to my experience.

  • Adobe Bridge/Camera RAW Question

    Hello. Can anyone tell me what the little gray circle icon with the two arrows in it is? This icon appears on RAW image thumbnails after opening a RAW file in Camera RAW via Adobe Bridge. When you mouseover it says nothing, when you click on it it does nothing. I am assuming its an indicator that the RAW file was opened but aside from that i can't figure out what it represents. Can anyone give some insight on this? Also, after opening and editing a RAW file how come the changes appear in the Bridge preview? Is there a way to return the preview image to its original state? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    That is the Adobe character that says the original file has been edited. I forget what the character is called, but it is referenced in the Lightroom help file I believe.
    You can delete the edits by clicking on edit/develop settings/clear settings.

  • Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

    Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
    One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
    I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge!  After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
    My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
    If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
    If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
    And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
    I badly need help!

    WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
    The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
    WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
    Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
    With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
    If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Bridge 4 vs Iphoto 09 using referenced libraries

    I've always used iphoto with referenced libraries, usually with no problem with an external HD with my imac. The reason: I don't want to consume my HD with hundreds of photos and video files and large photoshop files. Here's what I would like to do. I recently purchased Apple's new time capsule, and would like to do the following, store all these media files on the time capsule, with iphoto's library on my imac's HD and referencing those media files on the time capsule, wirelessly. My question is, would adobe bridge be a better way to view and track these media files rather than using iphoto? Any insight with either programs would be appreciated.
    I do like using iphoto for creating web galleries with mobileme, and the occasional phonebook. In those instances, I usually copy over the files to my hd and copy them into iphoto so there are no corruption issues.
    Oh, and the other reason to storing these files on the time capsule is so that my husband's pc laptop and my mac laptop (powerpc G5) would have access to these files too.

    1. You know that's not a supported use for a Time Capsule, right?And folks who have tried storing items other than Back Ups on there have had permissions issues etc.
    2. Running a Referenced Library is fraught with problems +should anything go wrong+. This is particularly the case where the Library and the files are stored on different volumes. If the path changes in any way you will need to resolve each alias individually. There is no need to have all the photos referenced if you want to store them on an external drive. You can easily run a Managed library from an external disk.
    3. I'm not sure what, if anythign, Bridge would bring to the set up. It's a file browser and not a Photo Organiser. You might want to post on an Adobe forum for more on Bridge. The one thing I will tell you is that the "file management" capabilities of Bridge make it lethal to photos also managed by iPhoto.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3

    Hello, All
    I recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS3 for serious image manipulation and realized Bridge would (Should!) solve some frustrations with iPhoto's organization characteristics (such as its inability to sort named filmrolls alphabetically other than by drag and drop). But I still want to use iPhoto as the primary application to view, slightly modify, create slideshows and email images, because sometimes Photoshop is overkill.
    Bridge allows, in Preferences, to specify the application to open images, and defaults to Adobe Photoshop CS3. After browsing and changing the application to iPhoto, and navigating to an original photo in iPhoto/Library/Originals/FolderName, and then double clicking the image in Bridge, it opens the iPhoto application but then fails to open the image. The error message displayed is "the following file could not be imported. The file is in the iPhoto library," and then the path to the file is also displayed.
    Well, of course the file is in the iPhoto library because that's what my Mac defaults to import all photos with (or did in the past, and I might change that).
    So, if you have beared with me this far, my question is -- does anybody know how to make Adobe Bridge 3 open images in iPhoto properly? Obviously, I'm missing something, and would appreciate your help. Thanks.

    You can use Bridge to view the Originals folder of your iPhoto library but you can't do any editing, moving, renaming, etc. as that's the same as Tampering with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. A big NO-NO. But you can view them and their metadata.
    Bridge is primarily a browser with metadata capabilities associated with an editor. And, as PhillyPhan pointed out, is exclusive from iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working -again

    After many months of pain caused by Bridge CC not working it seemed to be cleared up in Sept '14. (I used just about every fix that was suggested incl. preferences changed to have no program load on startup, managing cache, etc.) I has been working flawlessly until today. My pc notified re: windows updates were ready to install. I cleaned my pc, closed all programs and installed 23 updates. (Win7, 64bit) Updates seemed to install cleanly but Bridge CC will not open and displays a white screen and the msg "Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working" This began immediately after the os updates were installed so I suspected that was the issue. I restored the pc to before the updates and CC will still not open (stopped) and in desperation I tried Bridge CS6. CS6 opened normally and I was able to open a folder. Touching the space bar should have opened the selected file to full screen image but instead I got the same error msg now saying Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working. I have the same programs on my laptop and CC opens and works properly. So that sounds like my pc and not Bridge is the problem but there is an incompatibility somewhere and I am stuck and my work is piling up as I speak. I need my bridge back!

    This problem has been solved by Microsoft, rebuilt Win7. I would like to delete my question to reduce clutter here but I don't know how to delete it. A moderator may delete this if they wish or someone can add to my reply and instruct me. Thanks!

  • Adobe Bridge - White balance metadata

    When I browse raw files from my Canon EOS Rebel XT/350D in Adobe Bridge I always look at the Metadata tab to check for the f-stop value, speed, white balance settings, etc. of the currently-selected raw image file.
    I noticed that the pictures shot in Automatic White Balance appear on the upper-left portion of the Metadata tab as an icon indicating AWB. However, whenever I take pictures with manually-set white balances, such as shade, day light, tungsten, etc., the metadata tab no longer indicates the white balance I chose, instead, it either shows an icon of a camera or two dashes, as in --.
    Is there any way I can set Adobe Bridge to show the appropriate White Balance icon for pictures I take with manually-set white balances?

    Hi Curt,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, White Balance is checked in preferences/metadata. All of the Exposure metadata entries are also checked.
    I forgot to mention that my version of Camera Raw is 4.5 (the latest).
    You know, although White Balance is checked, I cannot find a White Balance text entry on any of the metadata lists (File properties, IPTC core, Camera Data (EXIF), etc.). The only place where I can see the White Balance setting in on the upper left corner of the Metadata tab, under the f-stop value.
    Here is a personal question for you: When you browse your pictures in Adobe Bridge and you select one that was taken with a specific White Balance (not Auto), does your Adobe Bridge display an icon for that particular White Balance setting? I just want to eliminate the possibility that this happening only in my computer.
    Thanks a lot for your time and attention.

  • Adobe Bridge Freezes While Previewing Animation Presets

    Hello
    I know this question has been asked several times over, but I do not have a resolution so I thought would ask again.  Like the previous posts, when I browse presets from the Effects and Animations menu, Adobe Bridge opens.  I can scroll through the animations, but once I choose one, the play button scrubs and appears to play, but never does, and then the program freezes.  I have read the blog posts and installed the fixes posted on the adobe blog, but nothing helps. All of my Apple Software and Creative Cloud software says it is up to date.
    Here are my settings:
    Adobe After Effects 12.2.1.5
    Adobe Bridge 6.0.1.6
    Apple Quicktime 10.1
    20-inch, Early 2008 iMac OS X
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
    Any guidance you can offer is much appreciated!
    Thank you,

    Thanks for the quick reply Rick.  Yes, 4Gb is not a lot, but when I bought the machine I was not doing any video and it sure seemed like plenty in 2008.  I probably should upgrade...
    I did close down everything else, but the problem still exists.  I can navigate to a thumbnail, but once I click on it and try to preview, the program freezes and I have to force quit.

  • 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.
