Bridge CS3 Not Showing JPG/PSD Files

Running version 2.1.1.9 on a Mac G5 Dual 2.5 w/4.5 GB of Ram under OS 10.5.2.
BRidge for some reason today first stopped showing entire folders of JPGs files. Refreshing folders and restarting Bridge did not fix the problem. Rebooted the machine and now entire folders of PSD files are not being seen either.
How do I trash the prefs for Bridge and any other ideas on fixing this?
Thanks,
mark

Trashing prefs did not help. Did a complete reinstall and seems to be working again.

  • Illustrator cs3 will not show placed .psd files

    I changed my computer to a vista based operating system and installed my creative suite 3. Everything was working fine but recently I am having challenges getting illustrator cs3 to show placed .PSD files. They appear to import but do not display. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue would be helpful. I already tried a repair/reinstall of illustrator but that did not work. I can place .psd images into In Design so I am not sure why illutrator is not allowing .PSD files to import and display.

    Did you upgrade to 64-bit Vista by any chance?
    Are your PSD images 16-bit by any chance?
    The problem with this scenario is that since Illustrator, any version does not support 16 bit psd files and CS 3 and 4 will place the file anyway but give you a notice that it is placing it as 8 bit. So unless there is something about  Vista XP or W7 64 bit that prevents Illustrator fro converting then that is probably not the issue. And though the warning says it flattens it will preserve a transparent background.
    So it might be a different issue.

  • Bridge CS3 not showing images

    Today Bridge CS3 partially stopped working.  Images do not show up in the content window but this is inconsistent.  It happens with only selected folders.  The data under filters does show the folder data.  If I try to open (clicking on) a non-existent image in the content window, PS or Camera RAW will open for that image.  I have one internal HD and 3 external LaCie drives.  Copy an affected folder to a different HD or to the desktop sometimes works but only intermittantly.  All the permits, etc. for the folders are the same, read/write permission granted and everything else the same.  Sometimes folders that previously opened do not open at a later time.
    I've tried restarting the computer and Bridge, no difference.  Two events occurred prior to the problem.  I installed Apple's latest security update and the new Adobe Reader update.  Other than that nothing particular occurred.  I am also using Lightroom2 which is working OK.  The image are in the folders OK, open in PS, etc.  They just don't show up in Bridge.
    My computer skills are medium, been user since Photoshop 6.0, taken a number of PS workshops at SFW and Maine, and am competent at using the program.  This is over my head. Help.

    Thanks Ramon,
    It works but with a few other problems I pretty well sorted through.  It took a couple of Bridge quit and restarts to get Bridge to open the external drives. Now that's OK.  Then it seems at times to hang up trying to generate thumbnails, have to force quit Bridge and try over.  Since Bridge worked fairly well for several years, I'm wondering what happened.  Maybe just one of life's mysteries.
    I have CS4 on the shelf, installed it and couldn't get the drivers for my Epson 2200 installed.  The CS4 included generic driver is junk, Epson quit supporting the 2200, so I re-installed CS3 for the time being.

  • Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

    Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

    Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
    Model: HP p7-1247c
    Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
    Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
    System Type: 64-bit
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is:  "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
    The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
    If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

    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,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

    Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera.  How can I get my files open to view and edit?  I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3.  Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
    When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file"  ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
    When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
    Please help!!!

    Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right?  Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
    LR5 is available as a standalone version.
    PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
    PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
    Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
    LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
    PS-CS6 can be found on this page:  Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
    As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.

  • Metadata in Bridge CS3 lost after editing NEF file in Capture NX2

    Entered keywords and metadata in Bridge CS3, edited NEF file in Capture NX2 and then all metadata in Bridge got lost even if I did not edit any metadata in Capture.
    Original Bridge metadata are still saved in XMP file but Bridge does not show them nor can search or sort photos by them.
    Is it a Bridge bug or is it connected with any settings?
    Win XP, Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9, Capture NX2 2.2.0, Nikon D300
    Will appreciate any help, thanks a lot.

    First I renamed photos in Bridge - sidecar XMP files were created with the new filename already, added some keywords and metadata in Bridge. Edited photo in Capture but not changed the name again - the result was the Bridge does not show edited metadata and keywords anymore even all those info are still saved in sidecar XMP file. Capture apparently does not change XPM in any way.
    It looks like all the problems are connected with renaming files in Bridge before editing them in Capture as if Bridge cannot read XMP after Capture added its own info in NEF file.

  • Bridge does not show my Camera Raw Adjustments in previews or thumbnails.

    Bridge CS6 on my Mac is not showing my Camera Raw adjustments in a preview pane or thumbnail.
    Here's how it worked until recently:
    I open a .CR2
    I make some adjustments
    I click "Done"
    The thumbnail and the preview show the adjustments I made
    Now, it works like this:
    Open a .CR2
    Make adjustments
    Click "Done"
    The preview and thumbnail don't show all the adjustments. I can't see the results of noise removal, but I can see a drastic change in Exposure
    If I double-click the CR2 file, it opens in Camera Raw, and I see all my adjustments, including noise removal.
    Here's what I've tried, but saw  no difference (I restarted Bridge every time):
    Purge Cache
    Purge Cache for Selection
    Replaced Camera Raw plug-in as described here: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit
         (Doing so made Camera Raw disappear in Bridge, so I restored the original file)
    Reset Preferences
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    All the above fixes were inspired by this thread: Re: Bridge CS6 not showing Camera Raw adjustments
    Why don't I see the noise removal effect in the previews? I am sure I saw it a few weeks ago. I rely on that, to help me sort and cull photos.
    I'm hoping there's a preference toggle that I accidentally changed. It's definitely a puzzle. (Version: Bridge CS6 5.0.1.21 5.0.2.4)
    Message was edited by: moonatwork after updating Bridge version. I tried all the above fixes again, after updating Bridge. It actually got worse. I tried replacing the Camera Raw plugin, which failed as before. I then restored the previous plugin, as before, but Bridge now fails to honor the preference, "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" and instead always opens Photoshop.

    Thanks, Omke. I tried updating, then applying all the same fixes to the updated version. No change.
    I can attach a screenshot, but I must block out names and faces. All you'll see is my Bridge interface, not the faces in the portraits. Hope that helps.

  • Why is Photoshop Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf now that I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    Why is Adobe Elements 8 not saving a psd file as a pdf after I started using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro instead of my CS3 Pro? Both Adobe software is up to date and before I switched to Acrobat XI Pro, it worked fine. Help please...

    You aren't talking to Adobe here. But still...Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING product? If so, you purchased an UPGRADE and now need to give the serial number of the OLDER product (Acrobat 9 or X) which you must own to be able to use the upgrade. Simples.

  • Remote server view not showing folders or files

    My customer uses Dw CS3 with XP SP3. Everything worked fine until their ISP changed their web server. After the change remote site view does not show folders or files although uploading to server works fine with Dw. If I try with Filezilla or any other FTP client everything works normaly. I'm no Dw expert just a sys.admin, but I don't know what settings I should try anymore. I tested this with dw cs 4 also and same problem there.
    If I check the FTP LOG from dw it shows the file listing correctly and that I have rights to the folders and files.

    Do you know what changed on the FTP server? I would love to know what it is. And if you have been able to solve the issue, then we might be able to provide the steps to reproduce/prevent the problem to Adobe's bug report form.
    I have had rather iffy experience with DW's FTP feature with various hosts through the years. Enough so that I only try out DW's FTP when I upgrade, and always resort to using a different FTP client. Although I tend to prefer FTP client software anyway, there are times when it would be convenient to use DW's features.

  • Bridge won't show jpg's

    Bridge do now show jpg's on my Smart phone.
    PS can open them and if I copy them to my HD, Bridge can show them.
    I really hope that sometime before I die I will experience a week without problems with Adobe software. But I am 66, so I guess I won't

    graverholt,
    You are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums.
    in this particular user forum we deal with Bridge on desktop and laptop computers.  I'm pretty sure the Adobe Touch applications forums can handle your question.  Look for an appropriate forum for those in the forums directory.

  • Can i with a script force bridge cs5 to show only raw files?

    Hi
    i know there is the filter feature
    but i have every time to set to show me the raw files
    can a script show only raw files ? like *.cr2
    in short i work only with raw files
    i would like to have a solution to display only raw files
    to load with bridge and have bridge ready to show only raw files
    set it on the filter feature is boring ,seeing i use it a lot and every time i run bridge i have to set the filter every time
    thanks

    It appears that with the Sort function set to Flie Type you can bring up just the raw
    files as a group.  With the Filter it appears that it always opens up in the default mode to arrange by file name.
    You could get a script to change it to file type, but that does not save any effort over just clicking on it in the Filter section.  Whether or not you can get a script to change the defalult I would ask in the Bridge scripting forum.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge/bridge_scripting
