CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail

Hi, Since buying Lightroom3 I find that I can only see a CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files. Loading Lightroom3 may just be a coincidence.
I am using Canon cameras up to 5Dmk2 and PS4 software on my iMac. I have downloaded PS 11.0.2, Bridge3.00 and Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
I have purged the cache for the folder. I have downloaded DNG converter 6.10.250 and processed the file but still cannot see the thumbnails.
Within Bridge preferences the Camera Raw Preferences is a light gray and cannot be accessed. Is this normal?
If I trash CS4 completely would I be able to reload from the original Cd and try again.
Grateful for any advice. Alex

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.

Adobe Bridge Not Showing Preview

I have opened PS and launched Bridge but it doesn't show like it normally does. I see Bridge icon in the tray
across the bottom of my screen and have tried clicking, dbl clicking, control clicking and nothing happens.
I've rebooted, undocked my laptop and rebooted, and still I can't see my CR files from my memory card
in the normal preview window. Is there a setting I need to change or is there something wrong? Help!
Thanks, Lisa

I'm not clear on what you're seeing. Can you see Bridge on your screen? If yes, then you may need to reset your workspace:
Window > Workspace > Reset Workspace.
If your workspace is fine, maybe the issue is with file association. It's diffiicult to to say. Could you post a screenshot, please? [Use PrtScn, open Photoshop, Ctrl-N, then Ctrl-V]
If the Bridge window is missing, you can try to maximise it by clicking the taskbar button for Bridge to bring it to the foreground, then press Alt - Space - X. Another method is to move an off-screen window using Alt - Space - M followed by the arrow keys, and Enter to save the new position.

Adobe Bridge full screen previews look horrible??? Any ideas???

OSX finder previews and ViewNX look tac sharp????? I have scoured through other forums and have found this is a known issue but none of the tips are working. Full screen previews still look horrible!!!

Have already played with all the Preference settings as recomended by other forums with the same issue.....

Adobe Bridge and Extension Manager missing products

I installed Production Premium, yet Adobe Bridge will not preview After Effects Presets. When selecting Manage Extensions, the Adobe Extension Manager does not show After Effects as a product.
How can I fix this?

Nevermind :-) Fix this moments later. I had noticed After Effects would start with an error about quick time not being installed. (new OS). After I installed that it works fine. I guess Bridge uses Quicktime to preview the presets because after restarting bridge it works fine.
Thanks

Can't view Sony RAW (.ARW) file in Adobe Bridge

Hi all,
Need some assistance here.
I'm currently using Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
I've installed the Adobe Camera Raw update version 4.6.
With this, I'm able to do the relevant editing with the Sony Alfa raw files (.ARW) in Camera Raw.
But the funny thing is, when using adobe bridge I can't view the thumbnails as I view it in camera raw / photoshop.
The thumbnails is "blank". This only happens on .ARW files. I'm able to view jpeg files in thumbnail.
When I check the camera raw preferences in adobe bridge, it shows me it's 4.6.
I'm currently using Mac OS X (Leopard).
Do any of you faced this before?
Hope that any of you could shed a light on this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Have you figured out a workaround for this? Most of the forums regarding this issue
are windows related or full of arguments. I'm guessing there may not be a solution to this problem so I'm curious what approach you're taking.
Thanks!

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

How to update Camera Raw

Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

CR2 files from CANON will corrupted when preview by Adobe bridge

Hello Frides
This problem started for me since Sep 2012, on CS5 and CS6
Windows 7 Ultimate
64 GB Ram
Quad Core i7
ACR 7.3
ACR 6.2
Camera Canon 5D M2
The problem is when I preview my archive files it corrupt the as well; I can see the CR2 file using ACDsee Pro 5 but when I convert them to Tiff or JPEG it export the corrupted file.
The scary part is if I'm losing my archive CR2 files,
I can’t open these file in Canon Digital Photo Professional after they damaged with Adobe.
This evening I was working on a photo and export it as Tiff , when i change directory in Bridge the same CR2 file corrupted!!!!!
I delete the XMP file associated with the CR2 didn’t help, its look like when bridge try to update the thumbnail somehow it
I tested on my portable workstation
Lenovo w701ds
16 GB Ram / i7 QC / Window7 Pro
stil get this random problem.
CHecked the CF card / Card reader / all my cables on both PC's
My problem is a software problem
PLEASE HELP!!!!! SOS

I have tried all of those and different versions/order of import, different drives and different cards.
Sorry, cross posting the same time it seems.
I just put the image back on the memory card and checked it in the camera and it views normally in the camera.
Again, you are not viewing the Raw file at the back of the camera, it can't show because the Raw data needs to be first demosaiced using a dedicated Raw converter like ACR or Canon DPP. What you see is the embedded jpeg preview the camera produces for this purpose and for using in Finder and other systems that can only view jpeg.
I did try downloading it to a different hard drive directly from the camera...I was able to view the image for about 30 seconds before it corrupted. As I mentioned, for this particular image I actually did a full ACR edit and created a jpg from the RAW file yesterday.
Here we are getting to the strange part of the problem. Can you provide a screenshot of the problem file?
When this happened about 6 months ago, after re-creating a file in the adobe library (unfortunately I can't remember where it was or what the file name was)...it stopped.
That probably would mean the Cache file and plug in from the User library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CSxx / Cache and plug in
or from same user library / preferences / Bridgexx plist file. Both files are recreated fresh and empty after restarting Bridge
I was actually able to go back to the corrupted images (4 out of 6) and view the corrupted images and edit them normally!
Try to reset the default setting in ACR
It just started again recently and I have 5 or 6 images that it's happened to. The first 5 corrupted as soon as I loaded them in ACR, this is the first one that corrupted after I edited it. I've tried opening them in iphoto and Canon DPP and they initially preview normally and then corrupt once they fully load the jpg preview.
Can you show both results from ACR and DPP in a screenshot?

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.

FFX file preview with Adobe Bridge

Hello all,
I did post a similar thread in the Adobe Bridge Forum but I thought that possibly the AE comunity may understand my problem a little better.
I wanted to begin learning After Effects CS4, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS4 is halting my education.
My approach to viewing the presets, I begin from within after effects, I click the drop down tool bar on the right hand side of the [effects & presets] panel, I then click browse presets
If I explore any kind of After effects CS4 preset, and preview it inside of Adobe bridge, my pc freezes. The preview window, within Bridge CS4 turns blank white while it freezes,
the Windows toolbar of Bridge CS4, says not responding temporarily, if a wait a little while around 30-45 seconds I regain control of my pc again, the preview box occasionally will show a still image and sometimes it will stay white or flickers. If I do wait the 30-45 seconds the toolbar window no longer says 'not responding' I can click to a (non) After effects preset folder, (for example) 'My family pictures' and it will operate normally but if I go back to the After effects CS4 presets again the freezing will occur once more.
What I find strange is that Adobe Bridge previewing, works absolutely fine for my photoshop documents, Illustrator documents, and any Jpeg photos I have, all after effect presets fail to preview, regardless of type if it's a still shape background or animated sprite, the same freeze issue occurs
I was wondering if anyone has helpful tips?
so far I have downloaded all important driver updates for my graphics card, my card is a nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 256, I have also reinstalled bridge and AfterEffects, I have downloaded the latest Quicktime player, I tried reinstalling it additionally.
I am a Windows vista user, also I have enough RAM I believe, just over 3 Giga
I dont know how useful the info is on my Pc spec is, but I thought it could be worth mentioning.
I have looked for a few hours to find some kind of thread with a solution, I have been unsuccessful, I hope someone can help.
Kindest regards Julian

Hi Mylenium, thanks for sparing me some of your time.
I did as you said, within my QT panel, *GDI only* sadly had no positive effect from my perspective, the freezing occured as it has always
For future reference is this setting how I should have it normally, or should i put it back on DirectX accel?
any other thoughts on what the problem could be?
regards Julian

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric
