Bridge Always Opens CS2

Recent thunderstorn activity caused several rapid cycling of power on and off to my computer. Now have some change in behavior as how Adobe Bridge and PhotoShop CS2 interact. Previously I could open Bridge (ver. 1.0.4.6) as a standalone app and make my raw edits. Now upon trying to open Bridge, CS2 always opens first and then Bridge. CS2 always remains in the background. I am not able to open Bridge as atandalone. While this is not a major problem, it is certainly different from the workflow to which I was accustomed. I reinstalled Bridge and ACR 3.7 but same symptons present. Should I reinstall CS2? Any ideas??

I never had CS2, but in CS3 open PS and in the preferences section there is an option to "start Bridge on login". I don't recall an option to start PS at startup.
Might check the OS startup preferences.
If all else fails you can reset the preferences for Bridge and Photoshop. Believe for CS2 you have to press and hold down the ctrl + alt + shift while clicking on icon to start program.

Bridge CS4 always opens in the same folder

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS4, Bridge always opens in the same
folder. It used to open up whatever folder I was working on last.
There must be a setting somewhere to tell Bridge to open the last
visited folder but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

Thanks Curt. That helped. I do have Bridge set to automatically start with Windows. I thought that shutting down Windows would cause Bridge to remember the last visited folder since Bridge was closed but I need to right-click on the Bridge icon in the system tray and exit before shutting down Windows. At least now I know why this was happening!

Bridge CS3 opens at wrong location

My older versions of Bridge always opened wherever I last closed it. Now it picks a file and stays there for about a week until it shifts to another file for another week. It's a time waster for me to have to reopen the file every time.
Any suggestions?
thanks!
Karen

Usually Bridge opens with the folder and workflow last open when quitting the application.
If not try resetting the preferences using shift + option + command keys while starting Bridge. Choose reset preferences and normally you should be OK.

Hello. I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION. I also have Photoshop CS6 installed. When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6. If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in

Hello. I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION. I also have Photoshop CS6 installed. When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6. If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in the Dock it will open in CC. Since I like to double-click or hit return in the bridge, I am constantly having to wait until the file opens in CS6, quit CS6 an then open it another way to get it into Photoshop CC 2014. I tried to disable CS6 by hiding it, but then double-clicking Bridge did nothing. Any ideas why this is happening?

Check and adjust the File Type Associations in the bridge cc preferences.

How to get Bridge-hosted ACR to always open 32-bit PS?

I am using CS4 on the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Does anyone know how I can force ACR to use the 32-bit version of PS instead of the 64-bit version when using the "Open in Camera Raw" method from Bridge?
I have made file association and registry changes so that everything else (double-click a CR2 file in Bridge, using Open, etc.) uses 32-bit PS. When I use the ACR hosted by Bridge via the "Open in Camera Raw", however, and then do an "Open Image", ACR will always use the 64-bit version of PS unless the 32-bit version of PS is already open.
I am trying to form a new habit of using the PS-hosted version of ACR with the "Open" command but it is a hard habit to break. It also takes a little longer the first time I use ACR. I´d love to use 64-bit all the time but I have third-party filters that work only on the 32-bit version.
Any ideas?

Plain advice: open Bridge, open 32-bit PS,
and when we then open a file in/from Bridge it goes (via ACR) into 32-bit PS.

Bridge default opens images in After Effects.

I am working in Bridge CS 5 (4.0.5.11) on a Mac Pro OS X 10.6.8. I am trying to open files (jpg, psd, bmps) in Photoshop CS 5 and the default is set to PS but Bridge is opening the images in After Effects. Where or how do I reset the default for files to open in Photoshop and not After Effects? When I right-click on the image the default is set to PS but still opening in AE.
Thanks for the help.

I forgot to do so and had to recreate from scratch.
Downside from resetting prefs is indeed you loose some settings, I always recreate them from scratch and have done so often in the past that I almost can dream this. Plus side is in this way you will learn more about Bridge and its prefs and will become more used to it. Maybe even discovering things you never new of
I rely heavily on the folder panel and have only 4 main folders in the favorites that I also don't use very often. The folder panel gives you so much more overview and options, you should give it a try.
Anyway, glad it worked out for you :-0

Bridge CC opens older version of PS instead of PS CC

Under Windows 7: Bridge CC "Open" and "Open with->Photoshop (default)" in the thumbnail context menu open PS5 which has been since uninstalled leaving PS6 and PS CC.
"Open in camera raw" opens Camera Raw 8.1 associated with CC programs.
"Place->In Photoshop" opens PS CC
Ai files open in AI CC
All CC programs show as up to date in the CC program manager
I have opened Bridge with Ctl-click, reset preferences and cleared the bridge cache. As expected this did not clear the problem.
Opening a psd file from Windows Fle Explorer opens PS6, not PS CC
I can correct the Windows File Explorer association with Control Panel-> Default Programs -> Set associations but I shouldn't have to. The CC installs should have done that.
How do I correct the file associations that are internal to Bridge? I'm reluctant to Uninstall->Download->reinstall without being relatively sure that will clear the problem.
Thanks.

Update on this issue:
Concerning Ps CS6 seizing Dominance:
I did try UNinstalling and then re-installing Ps CC 14.00 but Ps CS6 still retained "Dominance" (meaning that it was impossible to change System Permissions to recognise that all PSDs should always be opened from the Finder in Ps CC).
Finally I uninstalled Ps CS6 from this HD and now CC has established "Dominance".
Bridge CS6 was NOT removed from my HD when I uninstalled Ps CS6. (You need to keep Bridge CS6 until Adobe replaces the the AOM Panel in Bridge CC.)
Also, choosing the Default File Associations in Bridge CC, now correctly sets all Photoshop-related Associations to Ps CC instead of Ps CS6.
Duplicated from another thread beause there are multiple threads all discussing the same issue!

CS3 Extended - Can't get images from Bridge to open in Photoshop

I am wondering if I have this CS3 installed incorrectly. I had CS2 before and after my hard drive failed I ordered CS3. Before the new CS3 arrived I downloaded Picasa from Google and that was my image viewer in the interim. I also installed a trial CS2 on my computer from finding it on the internet. When I downloaded CS3, my RAW images were opening up in Picasa which I didn't like. So, I went to Picasa's software and clicked no to opening RAW images in it. That fixed that problem and I also uninstalled the CS2 trial. But now my CS3 Adobe Bridge doesn't recognize that there is CS3 Adobe Photoshop when I want to open TIFF or JPEG images. It opens them in Windows viewer. Even when I right click on an image in Bridge to Open with, it only offers me two browsers, Firefox and IE. Where do I go to reset the Bridge images to open in Photoshop? Right now I have to switch back to Photoshop from Bridge and go to File-Open.

In Bridge, go to Edit->Preferences->File Type Associations

Camera RAW doesn't always open a file multiple times

Ok, here is my general workflow:
after shooting images and loading them onto my local machine, I open a raw file, make adjustments and open into photoshop.
Then I open the same raw file again, make different adjustments, and use that as a 2nd layer with mask.
My problem:
MOST of the time, it works exactly as I stated above. Sometimes though, it does not open the 2nd time, nothing happens. I have to save the 'layer 1' file as a PSD to open the 'layer 2'.
What is up with that?

For what it's worth I have seen this going back a loooong time. I've posted on the subject as well and have never gotten a solid answer. It just appears as though Photoshop considers it "already open, so no need to open it twice". I believe an uninitialized variable could be involved, since it's intermittent.
I have found a couple of choices for workarounds or workflow changes...
1. You can save the first-opened document opened (e.g., as a .PSD) somewhere. Then reopening the raw file will always open a second document.
2. You could consider opening the raw file just once, duplicating it as a second layer, then use Camera Raw as a filter. Obviously that doesn't avail Camera Raw of the raw data, but its usefulness depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

How do I get CS5 Bridge to open instead of CS3?

When I upgraded Photoshop to CS5 I had to do it by upgrading my CS2 version because my CS3 version was part of the creative suite package. When I open Bridge, I don't get the CS5 version, I get the CS3 version and the two are definitely different. I like the Output features in the CS5 version since I use it at work, but at home, I don't know how to get the CS5 Bridge to open and, of course, Bridge doesn't show up as a stand alone program in the Program listings. What to do? Should I try reinstalling CS5?

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Bridge General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
Best,

Layers are always open

hello,
I did a search on this forum without success
I'm in illustrator CS2 Vista
why when opening illustrator some layers are always open and not others?
what to do to remain closed?

Maybe for some it's not a problem really? It's not something that I've found annoying.
I think (although I'm not sure) that layers that contain sub-layers open in order that the sub-layers can be seen. Layers that do not contain sub-layers remain closed. Therefore the only way to keep the layers closed when opening a file is....you've guessed it....don't make sub-layers.

Bridge wont open from within cs4

I upgraded to cs4 from cs2, it works fine but bridge wont open from within cs4. I get this little window - error2:photoshop 11 is undefined. Line 1, photoshop11.invoke bridge (false,false")
Bridge does open from windows start menu.

What folder did you put them in? also, you need to restart Photoshop before you can see them added to the panel menu.

How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

I have two screen on my PC. Adobe always opens on the second screen. I would like to change this. Ho

I have two screens on my PC Adobe always opens on the second screen. How do I change this to open on the first screen.

It should (should) stay where you close it from, especially if you have it maximized on that monitor. I can't guarantee that because I'm having the same problem with Firefox this morning. I always open it on my secondary montior, and today it will only open on the primary.
