Bridge bug with DICOM images

Photoshop supports DICOM images, but Bridge does not show DICOM image thumbnails, and I have not figured out how to open DICOM images in PS from Bridge.
It seems the only way to open DICOM images is from the File..Open.. menu in Photoshop.
TomS

It looks like I need to add a .dcm suffix and change the "Open with" property of .dcm to Photoshop to image thumbnails.
I'm using OS X 10.6.8.
The files have no suffix.
The icon displayed in Bridge is a, top to bottom, dark grey to light grey gradient with the word "exec" in green text in the upper left hand corner.
Apple's finder also displays the same icon.
Bridge wants to open the file in Terminal.
If I change the "open with" property of the file to PS, I can make Bridge open it in Photoshop, but I still get no thumbnail in Bridge.
If I change the "open with" property to PS and I add a .dcm suffix, then Bridge creates a proper thumbnail.
OS X is generally not very picky about suffixes so I never thought of adding .dcm.
Thanks

How do I make a PDF Slideshow from Bridge CS4 with 500 images?

Every year I go for an extended photo shooting trip. I use about 400 to 600 of the images to make a PDF slide show. This worked fine in all previous versions of Bridge, but no longer works properly in Bridge CS4. I can create PDF files with up to 329 images, but when I try to make a PDF file with more than that, the PDF file is corrupted. Sometimes, the PDF file opens, but about 10% of the image at random location are corrupted, and their thumbnails show up as white or black patches. At other times, the file does not open in Adobe Reader. I get a variety of error messages. The most common is #109.
Just to be certain it is not caused by my images, I used 550 images I had used to make a PDF show last year with Bridge CS3. I get the same problem. The slide show created last year with 550 images in Bridge CS3 still works in Adobe Reader, ruling out the Reader a being the cause of the problem. It appears that some bug has crept into the CS4 Bridge code.
Unfortunately, a while ago a deleted CS3 from my hard drives without making a copy of the downloaded dmg of CS3, so I can no longer re-install CS3. BTW, other than this bug, I am very happy with CS4. As a photographer, I find the improvements made in CS4 ACR stunning.
Is there a known work-around for this bug?
Is it likely to be fixed in an upcoming update?
Is there a way I can download a copy of CS3 allowing me to install CS3 Bridge, or, if needed, the whole CS3 suite?
(I still have a record of my CS3 registration code.)

I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

Bridge bug with .ste files?

I have been having a problem recently, with Bridge crashing. The issue has started in the past few weeks, after I downloaded some Adobe updates. I have updated my video drivers and done everything else I can think of but I continued to have the problem.
Any suggestions?

Bug, not likely, but contaminated file, perhaps. If the crash happens with one folder, then purge the folder and let it rebuilt. Also, compact cache to get rid of orphans and reduce cache size.
A crash can be more likely if you change folders before the cache is finished building (spinning arrow on bottom).
Other options, defrag the hard dirve, purge all cache, reset preferences if none of this works.

Floating Dialog bug with multiple image selection?

The selectionChangeObserver fuction of the LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog command is not being triggered in all cases.
It does not trigger when you have mulitple images selected and switch the main focus from one of the selected image to another seleted image.
Anyone else run into this? or is it something I am doing wrong.
function getSelectedImage()
        LrTasks.startAsyncTask( function ()
             local selectedPhoto = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
             props.PhotoNew = selectedPhoto
         end )
end
local result = LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog (_PLUGIN, {
        title = "Thumbnail test",
        background_color = LrColor ("white"),
        contents = c,
        selectionChangeObserver = function( )
                        getSelectedImage()
                end,

I reported this as a bug here:

Has anyone seen this bug with embedded images?

If I embed a wide image in this post and you click on it to zoom it up, is it centered in the safari window or center WRT the monitor? Basically can you see all of it?

It looks like this, here. It's done that for a long time, unless Safari extensions are switched off, regardless of there being any installed.

Java 6, 10 produces a bug with overlapping images

Hi,
I have a program which draws an image ontop of another image, using 6, 06 and 6, 07 it seems to work OK using 6, 10 it doesn't. I am not sure which version it stops working in though.
In 6, 06 and 6, 07 the image flashes but in 6, 10 it flashes for one second then disappears, dragging another window ontop of the image reveals it while you're dragging the window but it then disappears again.
This is the code:
gameGraphics.drawImage(aGraphics936, windowWidth / 2 - 127, 230, image);
public void drawImage(Graphics g, int x, int y, Image img) {
g.drawImage(img, x, y, this);
I'm a bit of a noob so go easy :/
Thanks.
Edited by: KO9 on Nov 2, 2008 7:13 AM

aGraphics936 = getGraphics();
        public final Graphics getGraphics() {
                if (GameWindow.gameFrame != null) {
                        return GameWindow.gameFrame.getGraphics();
                return super.getGraphics();
        }gameFrame:
    public Graphics getGraphics()
        Graphics g = super.getGraphics();
        if(graphicsTranslate == 0)
            g.translate(0, 24 + yOffset);
        else
            g.translate(-5, 0);
        return g;
    }Hope this helps, thanks.

Problem converting XPS document with large images

Hi,
When I try to convert XPS documents to PDF in Acrobat 9.0 Pro, I have problems with "large images". They are either truncated or scaled down. The only images that convert correctly are small images that are not stretched to fill a large area. Attached to this message is a simple example. Does anyone know a way to correct this problem? By the way, the page is slightly larger than the standard Letter size.
Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion! In fact, I am the programmer who creates the XPS files from a .NET document. Our company used the method "Postscript + PDF" during a few months and it worked quite well. Recently, we introduced semi-transparent objects and fonts in our documents and the resulting PS prints look really bad. Since I can create a perfect XPS document, and since Acrobat can convert it to PDF, I gave it a try. It solved all the problems that I had with PS printing but there is that thing with images... Anyway, since Acrobat converts XPS to PDF, I guess they should try to solve the bug with the images. As for me, I will see if I can get a component to create PDF documents directly from our application.

Stitching DICOM images in CC

A client wants to stitch x-ray image sets into full-spine images. The images are in DICOM format, three overlapping images of the top, middle and lower spine. Testing on non-medical images in DICOM format, I know I can stitch using Photomerge. What I'd like to know is if the composite image will retain its EXIF data (DICOM has its own section in the EXIF specification).
Has anyone used Photoshop for this purpose, or had experience with DICOM images?

A couple of questions:
You have two (or more) Images in Portrait orientation, that you wish to stitch together. Do you wish for them to "stitch" side-by-side, creating a wider Image, or stitch them end-to-end, making them taller? I assume the former, but am not positive.
Were the Portrait Images shot with overlap, and aligned, when captured, or were they just shot randomly, i.e. did you shoot a planned, full panorama, with vertical Images?
Can you Open one, then increase the Canvas Size, and drag the other into that Image, manually aligning it to match up (skipping PhotoMerge)?
Can you get by with using the above method, with say both pictures near each other, and maybe the Canvas (say choose black, when you extend it), so that you have two, separate photographs in one Image?
Good luck,
Hunt

Acrobat Reader DC - Bug with Dialog Boxes Containing Images?

Hi all -
Been testing Reader DC. Only took a couple of minutes to adjust to the new interface; pretty slick and intuitive.
Noticed a potential issue that I wanted to warn/share/prob solve with the community.
I was putting Reader DC through it's paces with a XFA PDF that has some dialog boxes, some of which even had images in them. (Thanks again to BR001.)
The dialog boxes with images look great on Acrobat & Reader 9/10/11 (WIN & MAC) - images are clear; no pixelation.
Reader DC on MAC appears to be fine - resolution looks the same.
But Reader DC on WIN - the images are now pixelated. Especially around the edges, characters/numbers, etc. You can tell something is "off" with the image.
A few simple side-by-side tests can be seen at links below. Reader DC is on left; Acrobat 9 (9.5.5) is on right.

Bug in Reader DC for Windows? Not sure what else the cause could be...
Anyone having their dialog boxes with images open in Reader DC for Windows WITHOUT the pixelation?
FYI/thoughts/ideas/suggestions/confirmations? Hmmm.....

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

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

HELP. ............Hi folks hope some one can help me please.Having a problem in Bridge I open my images in ACR, as I open files in a folder and lets say they are labeled in yellow they are all going back to the camera raw default , in other words no matter what work I have done, inc cropping they all go back to ,as they came out of camera. What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to yesterday, when this first started.
I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Would you be so kind to rephrase your question with concise, precise information and without any "let's say that" hypotheticals? Sorry, I can't quite follow you.
Also please give exact versions of Photoshop CS6 (13.what.what), of Bridge and of your OS.
Thanks.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

Bridge not displaying SOME images

Hi, stumped on a problem I am having with Bridge CS4. Some images are not showing up at all. I know they are in the folder since I can see them in Windows Explorer or if I naviagate to the folder when placing files in InDesign or Illustrator. All the images are the same file types (tif, jpeg, psd, png) as the other files I CAN see. Have tried refreshing, clearing cache, restarting, etc. but this has been ongoing for a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I see nothing at all. For example, I have images A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 that exist in the folder. In Bridge, I only see A1, A3, A4. It seems random what images are not appearing. I should also add that my counterpart that sits in next cube over CAN see all the images in Bridge.

Why not use Bridge CS4 with PsCS3?

I will post this on both the Bridge and Ps User-to-User forums as it applies to both.
I have PsCS3 and PsCS4 installed side by side in the default folders assigned by Adobe but have shifted my Bridge CS4 Cache (containing all the thumbnails and previews) from C:Documents and Settings\etc to a subfolder within My Documents, which I had previously moved to my F: drive - my main data drive.
I have found Bridge CS4 to be much more stable than Bridge CS3. Additionally, Bridge CS4 has certain features which make it more attractive and easier to use than Bridge CS3. I want to use Bridge CS4 in conjunction with PsCS3 until Adobe has sorted out the problems with PsCS4 - which at the moment is simply unuseable on my rather old and humble system.
On my system, I seem to be able to use Bridge CS4 with PsCS3 without any problems detected so far. I even have things set up such that any JPEG, TIFF or PSD file double clicked within Bridge CS4 or within Windows Explorer (Win XP Pro SP3) automatically opens the file in PsCS3 and not PsCS4 (provided, of course, that PsCS4 is not itself already running). Furthermore, even with PsCS3 running beside Bridge CS4, from within Bridge CS4 I can open any RAW, JPEG or TIFF file in Camera Raw 5.1 and use its new features (Adjustment Brush, Graduated Filter, extra vignetting capabilities, etcetera) which were not available in the last release of Camera Raw (4.6 I think) associated with PsCS3. The only problem comes when trying to open edits made in Camera Raw 5.1 in PsCS3 using the "Open Image" button in ACR - it does nothing/won't work, this is, it won't open the image with the ACR adjustments in PsCS3. That's not a big deal for me - as I am currently not doing any work within ACR (any version) and if I needed to I could simply save the ACR edits and then open the files in PsCS4, save the files as PSDs and then open them in PsCS3 to finalise them there.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, or does anyone else know of any reason(s) why I should not continue to use this workflow, at least in the short term?

I've been away. Thanks John, Bart and Buko for your responses. Think you misunderstood my post Bart, but it does not matter now. John got the correct message. Buko: of course CS3 cannot use ACR 5.x - that was implicit in my post.

"Does Bridge come with Photoshop if I buy the CC single app?"

Question from a Customer…"Does Bridge come with Photoshop if I buy the CC single app?"

Actually whether you consider the Suite a unified concept or not, if you are using a variety of Adobe products Bridge does the job well. Here's a great testimonial of what it does according to one user:
Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.
Not bad for an old file browser.
