Aperature and CS3 Bridge

This should be a no brainer. I use both Aperature and PhotoShop/CS3 Bridge. When I try to import images to Photoshop from my Aperature library using CS3 Bridge, rather than getting a library to choose from, Aperature opens on top of Bridge as if I'd opened the program as a stand alone.
If I try to open images from the Aperature library directly with PhotoShop, it's a bit better. At least I can see the directory, but I can't see thumbnails, so if the images aren't individually named (which they often aren't), I have to play hide and seek to open the one that I want.
How do I get images from the Aperature library to open directly with Bridge? (I can always do the work around by copying them to the desktop etc, but I'd rather save the step). And how can I see thumbnails in the PS directory?
thanks

Thanks for your helpful response (as opposed to that of another responder who will go unnamed), though I haven't tried it The reason is that I prefer the RAW editor in Bridge. But I got Aperture before I got CS3 so my default download from the cameras is through Aperture. Too many programs, too little time. Each has attractive features; in fact I still use iPhoto as well since its slide show options are better than the other two.
Guess the thing that I need to to do from now on is to use Bridge to download. It still leaves me with about 5000 images on Aperture to get over to PS side, which is why I asked the question in the first place.
Thanks again.

  • Lightroom and CS3 Bridge: Can they read eachother's adjustment settings?

    So Im trying to use Lightroom 1.0
    So far it seems like LR doesnt see the adjustments (XMP data) I have added to RAW files in Bridge and Bridge doesnt see the adjustments I make in LR.
    Call me crazy but isnt that a major stumbling block in the usage of Lightroom?
    Or am I doing something wrong?

    I don't use RAW files, but in the case of Jpegs, Bridge has a cache. You have to empty its cache for it to see changes in the files that it didn't make. And to have them made, you have to tell Lightroom to write out the metadata. Globally, it's in Preferences / File Management. It slowed it down so I have it off. If you want to do a file or a directory, you can use Metadata / XMP / Export XMP metadata to file.
    If you write metadata outside of Lightroom (I write capture date and digitized date to files from scanned slides), in Lightroom you have to do Metadata / XMP / Import XMP metadata to file. I always have Lightroom write out the metadata before I fiddle with the files and I would assume that is necessary because otherwise what it reads from the files will not include its data and it will, I presume, lose its data.

  • CS3 Bridge & Photoshop freezing after an hours use.

    G5/2.0ghz/dual/3gigRAM/OSX58:  When I use CS3 Photoshop and CS3 Bridge at the same time, after about an hours use, Photoshop will freeze with the spinning beachball when I double click one image in Bridge to open it up in Photoshop. Anyone know of any similiar experiences?  Lord, I do not want to go through the CS3 reinstallation if I do not have to. Talk about a mindless waste of time.  jr

    First thing to try when in trouble is refreshing the preferences. Restart
    Bridge holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. Set them
    again to your wishes and try again.
    Also check your free space on your system, less then 10 % free space is
    often causing trouble.

  • Adobe bridge and CS3 I have down loaded trial version...

    two problems--when i down load my pics- jpeg&raw- from EOS5D camera into adobe CS3 bridge i only get jpeg images not raw--my zoom browser does it!
    also when i double ck on thumbnails in BR i get raw processing--when i then go to photo shop by cking -save objects-when images opens up in phot shop i can not make any color adjustments--I have wasted 4 hrs with adobe techs--They had me remove adobe CS3 4 x and reload--problem still exists--is there adjustments in BR that affects this situation..?
    br carmen-i have vista operating system

    Vista has a problem with Canon cameras, not Bridge's fault. Copy the images directly to the hard drive. Check MSFT for any updates...
    The "Save Object" is for making Smart Objects and from the sounds of it, you are unfamliar with the concept? You need to double-click the Workflow options in Camera Raw and uncheck the Smart Objects options...then images will open as images not Smart Objects.

  • CS3 Bridge and CS4 on the same machine.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have adobe photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS4 on my machine.  Any known issues for running bridge CS3 and CS4 on the same machine?  Some experts at telling me not to use Photoshop CS3 with Bridge CS4, just wondering.  Thanks for you replies.

    Bridge is not really a stand alone product, and tuned to work with its current version of PS.  Also, Bridge CS4 has some features changed and/or added.  So if using CS3 Bridge you might have aspects that don't work with PS CS4.
    I would keep CS3 on the machine if you don't need the HD space, until you feel you no longer need the older version.  But use them as a pair as intended.  Also, only have one Bridge running at a time.
    I did not upgrade to CS4, but from what I have read I see no reason to use Bridge CS3 as the upgrade is faster, less prone to crashes, and has added features.
    CS4 PS on the other hand can be tricky if you don't have a newer computer with a good video card.

  • LR2 and importing keywords from CS3 Bridge

    I've just started a 30 day LR trial and need some guidance, please, on successfully importing keywords from CS3 Bridge so that the complete heirarchy survives intact.
    I've just imported the keywords to LR2 and found the heirarchy is mostly destroyed.
    Also, Bridge allows you put a keyword inside "[ ]"  (square brackets) if you want/need that word in the heirarchy but do not want it to be copied to the metadata.  After importing to LR2, all the square brackets have gone.
    I've imported some photos into LR2 but, when I look at their keywords, all the words which were within square brackets (and so not visible in the metadata in Bridge) are now visible in the metadata in LR2.
    Anyone found a solution to this, please?  I really don't want to have to re-keyword everything if there's another way.
    Thanks,  John Walmsley

    Ginger
    I ran a test for you. Started up my old computer that has windows XP OS. Took a photo and added a keyword by right clicking as your previous post outlined. I then looked at photo in Bridge CS3 on old machine. There was no keyword. Copied to flash drive and looked at photo on Vista computer with Bridge CS3. Still no keyword. Ran a search on Vista advanced for keyword on flash drive, and it gave a hit.
    So my conclusion is that the keyword is there, but Bridge does not read the XP generated keyword. It will read a keyword generated by same method in Vista. Don't know what else to suggest. Don't have CS4 so do not know it that works or not.
    Perhaps with these clues someone else can figure it out.
    Good luck

  • DNG File appears as an Icon and Not as Thumbnail in CS3 Bridge

    Hi
    If I save a Camera Raw manipulated image as a COMPRESSED (LOSSLESS) DNG file it appears back in CS3 Bridge as a DNG Icon and not as a thumbnail.
    Is there a reason for this and can I get the saved file to appear as a thumbnail.
    Many thanks

    try resetting your preferences and/or purging your thumbnails cache by holding Ctrl right after you launch Bridge(you have to be fast, you'll get a dialog box if you succeeded)

  • CS3 Bridge is not function; do I need to re-install?

    Hello,
    I will admit to being woefully remiss in installing my wonderful CS3 software.  Just did so a few days ago.  Adobe Bridge was working fine, but today I can't access it at all for some reason.  Do I need to de-install and re-install everything (I've got Design Premium), or if I put in the application DVD, can I just re-install Adobe Bridge.
    I am not a computer techy.
    Thanks so much!
    Liz

    No, do not uninstall/reinstall.   What you need to do is reset preferences.   Hold down the Crtl key and start Bridge.  You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.  That should get you back to normal.

  • Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

    I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
    I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
    "Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
    But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
    How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
    Thanks, CMA

    I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
    If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
    In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
    The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

  • CS3 Bridge Crashes when I open Edit Preferences

    I am running PhotoShop CS3 Bridge V2.1.1.9 under Win XP Pro SP2 and when I launch Bridge and open Edit > Preferences Bridge immediately crashes with the "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close". Bridge was running fine. I assume I must have corrupted a file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Ed B

    I tried holding the ctrl buttom, the preferences reset, or any other window, would not launch. i tried the cnrl/shift/alt buttons, this did not work. i tried launching from quick start button, from the explorer exe, and still not able to get this to work. i even tried a few weeks back to uninstall and reinstall, but did not seem to work, i gave up until need it open now...
    are there any other tricks anyone has had luck with to get the preferences window to work?

  • CS3 Bridge, no files on right click (yes, I set preferences)

    I wrote this in previous thread, but it referred to CS5 so I'm pasting it in a new one.
    This is for CS3 Bridge.
    Since I finally uninstalled previous CS version, now when I open up Bridge and right-click PSD image to say, open in AI, my options are only all browsers (?!) and Photoshop which is the program assoc. with PSD that I set in File Type Assoc in Bridge. Used to be able to view most Adobe programs when right-clicked before I uninstalled old CS.
    It's annoying and I'm not sure how to restore/fix.
    Thanks!

    Uninstalling an old version, will believe it or not, cause the file associations to revert to the uninstalled version.  Not an easy fix.
    It appears you either need to start over or delve into the registry.  See this link.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/423584?tstart=0

  • CS3 Bridge forces Windows Aero to Basic after installing Quicktime

    Hi, I have been running Adobe CS3 Bridge (and Photoshop) without any problems on Windows 7 Ultimate until Apple forced me to install Apple iTunes. iTunes in turn forces me to install Apple Quicktime. Since I installed Apple iTunes + Apple Quicktime, Windows 7 switches from Aroe to Basic when I start Adobe CS3 Bridge. The following message appears: The color scheme has been changed. The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 Basic: Program= Adobe Systems, Publisher= Adobe Systems. When I uninstall Apple Quicktime, Adobe CS3 Bridge runs without any problems again. Unfortunately, I need Apple iTunes to update my iPhone and Apple iTunes will not run without Apple Quicktime installed. Any suggestions?

    Hi Curt (and others),
    I do have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.5). QuickTime forums? Does not work, I have to login, but when I do I get error: Invalid Language ID (no idea what that means). There appears to be no other way to get into contact with Apple.
    After some research I found the following 'bypass': when I disable Windows XP compatibility mode for Adobe CS3 Bridge the problem disappears. But, the reasons why I enabled Windows XP Compatibity mode for Adobe CS3 Bridge (rightclick | properties | compatibility) is that it appears that CS3 Bridge tends to loose my preferences at unpredictable intervals. In particular the setting: [V] Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge stops working after a while (few weeks). All of a sudden, double-click opens Camera Raw in CS3 Photoshop instead of in CS3 Bridge.

  • Make Searching in CS3 Bridge more like searching within Photoshop Album

    For example, in Photoshop album if I wish to see photos that contain BOTH "Tag1" and "Tag2", I click on these two tags and only those photos that contain BOTH of these tags appear.
    In Bridge CS3 if I click "Keyword1" and "Keyword2", I see every photo that contains all of these individual keywords. What if I only want to see those photos that contain BOTH "Keyword1" and "Keyword2"?
    Please make seraching within CS3 Bridge more like Photoshop Album.

    If you click on the match box "all criteria met" seems like that should work as you want.

  • NEF thumbnails will not appear in CS3 Bridge

    My XP machine crashed and I was forced to get a Vista machine. Vista 64 bit 7gb RAM and 640GB HD.
    I downloaded the latest ACR 4.6 and that allowed me to see and edit NEF files in PS but in CS3 Bridge I cannot see the thumbnails only the NEF icon. I can double click and the NEF file will open in PS and I can edit as usual. I have tried clearing the cache' in the "tools" and it will give me a flash of some of the NEF thumbnails but that is all just a split second flash. I can see the metadata information just no thumbnail preview. JPEG's are fine.
    HELP!!!

    Hi:
    I was having the same problem with vista 64 bit, PS CS3, bridge v. 4.6, creating thumbnails for Canon 50D.  Your suggestions above to purge not only the camera raw preferences cache but also the regular preferences cache did the trick!  Even though I have 3GB set for cache, it must have filled up.  The thumbnails created instantly.
    I had already checked for multiples of the plug-in but that wasn't it.  ONly after I purged the general program cache did the thumbnails appear.
    I knew it had to be something arcane like that as I also have CS3 installed in Win XP 32 bit, with the 4.6 ACR, and it creates thumbnails without any problem!
    So thanks very much, you solved my problem, and I'd tried a lot of different suggestions.
    It is counterintuitive I think that the program gives you three different places, tools, ACR and Bridge preferences.      No wonder people have problems sorting simple problems like this out
