Bridge Collections CS4 Windows XP

I’ve made a smart collection from items highlighted in a folder, but when I want to see the contents of the collection I get no criteria match message.
I can’t figure out where to drag and drop items from different files into a collection. So far everything I’ve tried hasn’t work (I’ll spare you the details as I don’t think you need them to give me much needed HELP!) Thanks as always.

Let me take a stab at your problem. I think your confusing smart collections with quick collections. I think that smart collections can only be filled by performing a search from inside the smart collection. To drag and drop you use quick collections.

Camera Raw Preview in Bridge Collections (CS4)

I am working in Bridge CS4 and have created several Collections of .cr2 photos that I am editing in Camera Raw. When I open the files in Camera Raw from the Collections panel and click "Done" after making adjustments, the changes do not show up in the Bridge Preview panel. However, when I view the same file from the Folders panel, those changes show up. This situation is a real pain as I have to keep moving back and forth between Folders and Collections - can anyone help fix the problem? I have purged and maximized the cache in both Bridge and Camera Raw Preferences and it's not helping.

First Aid for Bridge is always restart holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. After this reset prefs to your wishes and try again (sometimes restarting Bridge is needed to let the changes take effect).
If this is not working repeat this procedure but now first quit Bridge and delete the Com.adobeBridge3.plist file from the preferences folder in the user library and the again refresh and reset the prefs.
It should work normally, it does so on my system ( you are not working on a network btw??)

Adobe Bridge in CS4

My Adobe Bridge in CS4 stopped working. Is there a way I can repair just the Bridge program without uninstalling the whole suite. I have tried uninstalling the whole CS4 but I get messages that programs are running and need to stop running before I can uninstall and I can not find how to stop those programs. Thanks. Scruffyy

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

Master collection CS4, how to keep "Date taken" in captured videos?

Hello,
I have the master collection CS4 on a Vista system, and I can easily capture from my old Canon Elura DV tapes, with a firewire cable, either using Premiere Pro, or the simple Windows capture utility.
Now, no matter what file format I created, both AVI (big) and WMV (smaller) the files' "Date Taken" or "Date Shot" fields are blank. All Date modified/created and accessed are the date of the capture, which I do not really need, since my tapes are 8 years old... !
Windows Photo Gallery sorts your photo and videos by date taken, but this does not seem to be possible with captured DV videos...
Now, it seems such a simple feature to have the DV date/time stamp to be translated into the file "Date Taken" field, I am wondering how to do that.
Is there a plugin? Is there a workflow I am missing in premiere? or AfterEffects?
The date/time stamp is embeddded in the DV stream, and I read that a AVI capture will simply copy the DV stream to the HD, so how do I extract / see that information?
And, really, how come such a critical information is so hard to work with? I mean, don't professional movie makers want to know precisely when video clips have been shot?
Thank you
regards

Hi,
hmm, I use SCLive to capture and the filename becomes the date taken and are numbered sequentially...as it can capture different avi files every time it sees the camera was shut off and turned back on...like those become "scenes" in a way..a new avi file. But the date and numbers reflect what youre talking about. I never captured using cs3 which is what I use. SCLive is actually "better" at capturing mini dv tapes.
As for movie making the slate gives you that info...and when you start the edit you rename the captured footage according to the slate..so the filenames reflect more readily what the stuff is...
eg. " scene3-take3-cu " or "scene5-take2-master"...etc.

Bridge Collection file / folder name single quote bug fix?

Just starting using Bridge CS5 on WIndows 7. Fresh install of OS and CS5. Latest patches applied (4.0.5.11).
After laboriously selecting 60+ files and creating a colelction, the collection showed zero items.
I recreated the collection multiple times but same result. This was supremely frustrating and a huge time waster for me (and I'm sure for others).
Completely repeatable.
Tracked this down to one of my folders having a single quote in its name. This problem was documented back in 2010:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2936294
I edited the collection file in notepad and replaced the single quote with %27. Worked fine.
But manually editting the collection file everytime I make a change to the collection or renaming my folder hierachry are not viable workarounds.
Does anybody know if a fix was ever released for this? What is Adobe's response to this?
It apparently is a regression (i.e. it was fixed in a pevious verision and now is back).
This is a programming 101 bug (i.e. escaping special characters in file names).
This type of programing error is a real showstopper and really inexcuable, especially for how long it has been out there.
Jeff

Thanks for posting this problem on the photoshop feedback page.
It's clear many of us have tripped on this issue and that it is time Adobe fixed this problem.
To hedge our collective bets, I also filed a "bug report" using this web page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
It interesting to note that I did not find a bug report form for Bridge - the site just offers a redirect to the general feedback form on Photoshop. But there was a bug report form for Premier Pro (a program they obviously care more about). So I filed this issue as an official bug against Premier Pro thinking it may get greater visiability. What follows is what I submitted. If I hear back from the development team I'll let this thread know.
Jeff
******BUG******
File names / folders with single quotes (e.g., Jeff's Photos) are not properly escaped in the collection xml file created by Bridge which is used to manage assets in Photoshop, Premier Pro, etc. The single quote, which is a valid filename symbol in Windows, should be converted to %27 in the xml file but is left "as is" which prematurely terminates filename / folder strings. The net effect varies based on the operation being performed, but it is typically a silent error (i.e. the user is given no warning anything is wrong) and can result in catastrophic loss of critical assets.
It is simple to repro: just create a folder with a single quote in the name, populate it with content files, and create a collection. The next time you use it, the collection shows up as 0 entries.
The bug (which appears to be a regression) results in many users losing critical asset files and wasting huge amounts of time debugging this issue which was reported almost a year ago. The forums have many threads on this problem - see my recent entry for an example:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4112499#4112499
The bug is a trap that directly erodes customer confidence and satisfaction with Adobe's whole product line. Bridge is billed as hub that is supposed to tie all products together - but it cannot be trusted. Critical assets and time are lost. This is trivial bug to fix and many customers are outraged that Adobe has done nothing to fix it or warn users about it - especially since this is in your professional line of products that cost over a thousand dollars. Please escalate this fix immediately.
As a courtesy, please let me know this bug report was escalated and an ETA when a fix may become available.
Thank you

Adobe master collection cs4 setup.exe installation problem

This is frustrating.
I have 30 day trial DVD from adobe, it is Master Collection CS4 and can't install it. Double clicking on setup.exe goes nowhere, just no response at all. You can see and hear DVD working, but nothing is happening, no response. I've been searching on forums, everywhere, no solution. Tried msicuu2.exe, also tried WinCS4Cleanupscript. Even registry cleaning tools. No progress.
It is HP Pavilion dv7, core 2 duo, 2.2GHz, 4GB ram, 320 GB Hard Drive, Windows Vista SP1 (fresh instalation).
Also tried with all current (july 2009) microsoft updates.
Obviously because it is a trial version I can't contact adobe support.
It is strange, I was able to install it on my old Windows XP laptop, but I can't do it on vista.
Strange is also that I can install separatelly 30day trials of Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 from adobe.com.
As I said, this is fresh instalation, so there was no previous adobe product installed at all.
Please help.

yes I expected as much. But I wasn't getting any good answers on vista either. I have several users who will be moving to 7 in the fall and need to see if it will work. thanks for the response.
Since my last post, I may have found the answer (no thanks to Adobe). Most of us having this issue are in using fresh installs of our OS. Since the setup is very heavy Java, I downloaded the Java Runtime from Sun and POOF I can install now. The error above went away and the install is running. InDesign failed, but everything else has installed so far. One would think that if the installer is so dependant on a Java VM being in place they would check for it and either prompt the end user or if an error occurs, post that in the error message. But I have noticed that most of my Adobe problems in the past do not have good QA or error message support. Usually I get a generic error message and am left to hunting for some kind of answer.
So to those who are having this issue. Load or re-load your Java VM and try again. That helped me.

Bridge to CS4 64 bit Vista - Problem with bit depth

I'm using Camera Raw in Bridge and CS4 64 bit. When the Camera Raw window opens in Bridge, the image is shown in 8 bit mode even though shot in 16 bit. I could not find a setting in either the Bridge or CS4 Preferences that accounts for the down sampling. If I do the same raw conversion in Lightroom, this down sampling doesn't occur. Any ideas? Thanks
Chuck Klingsporn

Charles,
 
 

You
 were the one that designated 8-bits in the Camera Raw workflow options. Click on what appears to be an underlined link right below your image in the Camera Raw dialog box. You will then be presented with the workflow options and you can set them to whatever you want.
 
 Those options are sticky, which means they will remain in place until you change them again.
 
 This is a screen shot of ACR in CS3, but the workflow options are located in the same place in CS4.

Losing manual sort in Bridge collections

I installed the latest version of Bridge CC and created several collections. Each collection contains between 10 and 60 images which are all taken from the same Windows directory. The directory contains less than 300 image files. I did this in two sessions. In the first, I created 3 collections and in the second, I created 5 more. Each collection was manually sorted after all the images were added. No additional images were added after the manual sort.
After restarting Windows and opening Bridge CC again, some collections were still manually sorted and some were sorted by filename. All the collections are still showing as manual sort. Can't figure out why some are OK but others are in filename order even though it shows manual sort.
I'm running on Window 8 Pro and have InDesign installed as well. Bridge is not set to start at login.
Now, the only thing I can think of is that when I updated InDesign in Adobe CC this morning, that something may have affected Bridge. But then I would have expected all the collections to revert to filename order and not just some.
Is there a secret to keeping the manual sort in Bridge collections intact? It's not much use to me if it won't. I sort images in the order I want to insert them in book pages.
I checked other threads on this subject but it doesn't look like anything was resolved.
Thanks

DUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
Thanks Curt!
You da man!!!

No puedo instalar Master Collection CS4

Hola...
Espero alguien pueda ayudarme con este problema, ya que trabajo como diseñador gráfico y la Master Collection es mi mayor herramienta.
Hace dos semanas decidí actualizar mi sistema operativo Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits, a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, termine toda la instalación sin nigún error fue una instalación limpia formateando la partición del disco duro donde tenia instalado el Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits.
Pero me lleve una muy mala experiencia al querer instalar la Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection CS4, he provado por todos lados, incluso hay una solución a este problema en el foro de inglés (que no logré entender al 100%) y no he podido solucionarla, he querido contactar con Adobe vía telefónica y tampoco he podido hacerlo (vivo en Guatemala).
Mi problema comienza con esta advertencia:
He probado seleccionar Sí, y no pasa nada, nunca termina de cargar el instalador y se queda inactivo.
Cuando selecciono No, sigue cargando por unos segundo y luego me muestra este error:
Por favor cualquier información que pueda ayudarme a resolver mi problema lo agradeceré eternamente, como mencioné antes trabajo de esto y sin mi paquete de Adobe instalado no puedo hacer nada.
Mi computadora es una Sony VAIO VGN-CS215J/R
4 GB de ram
Disco Duro de 250 GB
Todos los drivers, descargados de de la página oficial de Sony para Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits

Hola,
Podrías enviarnos la dirección del enlace a ese hilo en el foro en inglés? Gracias.
Las instalaciones requieren que los navegadores web estén cerrados, en ocasiones también hay que cerrar otras aplicaciones, y si hay una instalación fallida o anterior hay que descargar y ejecutar una utilidad que elimina todos los archivos instalados para permitir que se pueda volver a intentar.

Filmstrip image limit cs4 windows

Hey there, I'm using Bridge in cs4 for windows 7.
I'm trying to add a nice flimstrip to my site. I selected 23 images but bridge is only showing the first 10....
is there any way around this? because if it's limited to 10 images that is very very poor design I think, seeing as how most digital artists have more than 10 images to display.
thanks.
-Gary

Hello,
I appreciate the quick reply!
The files were all .png and .jpg. and at most 3-5mb...
do you think if the size is too big it will skip the image? because originally i selected 23 or so and it only showed 1/10--> 10/10.
I don't know.. I'm using Bridge cs4 and the effect is vertical filmstrip. you can see what i mean here: http://www.sykotikdesign.com/c4d_gallery/index.html.
Thanks!

Problem opening Bridge CS5 in Windows 7

When I open Bridge CS5 in Windows 7, I get a pop-up window from User Account Contro that asks "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" The program listed is Bridge. If I say NO, Bridge doesn't open. If I say YES, Bridge opens normally. This question pops up every time I open Bridge but not with any other CS5 applications or any other program. Any suggestions? Thanks,

This is a permissions issue within the OS. Next time you start Bridge right click on the icon and select "run as administrator" and choose yes. Perhaps it will stick that way.

Adobe Bridge to CS4 Batch Problem

I hope this is the correct forum for this post as I don't know if its a Bridge or CS4 problem.
If I carry out various adjustments in ACR from within bridge, then select a number of the adjusted files and run the CS4 Batch from within Bridge. (I.e. Tools|PhotoShop|Batch...) I'm given the option of the action to run and each file is loaded into CS4 and the action runs file.
The problem is that not all the adjustments made are transfered into CS4 - the most obvious one being any crops.
If I open the same files in CS4 - as in File|Open, then all the adjustments are present.
Have I got something set incorrectly or is this a bug?
Thanks
Mark

I've been having similar loss of adjustments...and haven't got a solution. It seems to me the following happens:
If I launch Photoshop CS4 32bit, open Bridge, and start a batch process, the adjustment from the first opened RAW file is used for ALL files being processed.
If I launch Bridge before and start a batch process, Photoshop CS4 64bit is automatically launched and each image is properly processed using each file's settings. Acutally, I'm not 100% sure I ever have this problem with the 64bit Photoshop even when I launch it first.
At first I thought I was losing my mind...some settings are too subtle to see differences when I quickly glance through a bulk group of photos. But lately I have processed some photos as black and white...and you know something is wrong if ALL of your batch processed photos suddenly show up black and white.
