Bridge CS3 ratings/labels show on preview screen

Unless I am missing something, I cannot show ratings/labels on the 'Preview' screen. Of course, they show on the thumbnails.
My process is to click (arrow) through the thumbs while viewing the larger preview screen to make my ratings selections. It would be helpful if the ratings/lables info was shown on the preview screen so I do not have to refer to the thumbs to see if it has already be rated or if the rating needs to change.
Thanks for a great new product and your consideration of this request.

  • Bridge CS3 -- Incorrect label text string appears

    I've successfully changed the text string for the labels on four of the five "color" labels by choosing Preferences/Labels.  The 5th label (red/6) shows the correct text I would like to use in the preferences window.  But when I when I right click on a photo and point to label, the incorrect text string appears as a choice, one that does not show up in the preferences/label window.  Same incorrect text string appears when I choose label in the Bridge task bar at the top of the screen.  And, if I do choose the incorrect text stringed label by right clicking or choose label, hoping that it will remember the correct text string appearing in preferences, the incorrect text string is used and appears to the left of the bridge window under label, when I am viewing in the default view mode.  HELP!  Thanks.

    The first thing to try is trashing your Bridge preferences by holding down the Option key as you launch Bridge.

  • Bridge CS3 - RAW does not have previews

    RAW files can be open in Photoshop CS3 but not in Bridge CS3. They appear only as CR2 files.
    I've replaced the camera raw plug in to use the latest which is version 4.6 but it does not fix the problem.
    I purged the cache in different ways. When starting the program by holding the CTRL+SHIFT key.
    I also tried to manually rename the Bridge CS3 folders inside the AppData location.
    - I even purged the cache via the Preferences area and it still did not fix the problem.
    I am using Vista 32-bit here.
    What else do I have to try?

    Have you looked at all the posts on ACR and checked to see if the plug-in is in the correct folder, and only one plug in-there?
    See post #11 in this link.

  • ***Bridge CS4 will not show a preview of my .CR2 files***

    OK...
    I have been searching the internet for a couple hours with no luck. Hopefully someone out there can help...
    Equipment:
         Cannon Rebel Xti
         Adobe CS4
         ACR Plug-in 5.5 (latest update installed in its CORRECT place!)
    When i open Bridge CS4 all my raw or .CR2 files dont have a preview. Im thinking it could be because the adobe website says that my Rebel Xti minimum ACR plugin is version 3.6? But dont all the later versions support it anyway?? So 5.5 should work right?? Im at a loss if you have any insight at all that would be great!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Robert
    Had the same problem this worked for me.
    start up bridge go to preferance/advanced and tick the selection Generate Monitor size previews.

  • Bridge CS3 doesn't show color profiles althought they are there

    I have a folder with various TIFF files, some are in CMYK (Fogra27), some in RGB but none show the profile in Bridge, although I turned it on in the settings. I can see that they have profiles in PsCS3.
    What may be the cause?
    Thanks!

    You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

  • Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

    Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
    Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
    I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
    I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

    Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.

  • Opening RAW files with Bridge CS3

    When I try to open a RAW file from Bridge CS3 it defaults to Mac Preview and does not open Photoshop Elements 6 RAW converter.  If I open a RAW file outside of Bridge it work fine.  What did I do wrong??   Using a iBook G4 with OS 10.5.8 and Photoshop Elements 6 and new Camera RAW plugin for my Panasonic LX3 camera.  hjz62

    Bridge requires the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw to be installed.  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4581 Adobe states that this is the latest version of camera raw compatible with PSE-6 Mac. Others may have additional information.
    As to the issue of defaulting to Apple software, this issue is usually a configuration problem wherein certain file extensions are granted permissin to be summarily opened by a given program. ((Right clicking any given file, then choosing "open with", and selecting a given program  is a work around, but to avoid this step, you need to reconfigure your program settings.)) This is the Windows file path/solution, I am not familiar with Mac. I am confident that the issus is the same

  • Bridge CS3- Labels & Ratings disappear after processed in Noiseware (was okay in Bridge CS)

    Okay, I guess I should count my blessings that this is about the only annoying, recurring problem I've had with Bridge CS3, unlike the crashes that others are dealing with.
    Windows XP w/ core 2 6600 2.4GHZ, 3GB ram. A large percentage of my 300GB hard drive is used but that was the case when I used to run Bridge CS. Software- Adobe CS3 Web Suite
    Whenever I run a file through Noiseware (Stand alone version) I lose all labels and ratings. This did not happen with Bridge CS version. Anyone experiencing the same? I am always referring back to my ratings and labels so it's a major problem to lose them. Only thing I can do for now is save it with a new file name and then re-rate & label the newly processed file to match the original, but when you are dealing with dozens, if not 100's of files, 2 extra steps is a lot of wasted time!
    Thanks in advance for any input.

    Thanks curt. I had that problem way back when I first upgraded and it had something to do with renaming files. I fixed that but I still cannot fix this conflict with noiseware software. It blows...to lose all my labels & ratings everytime I have to use the noiseware.
    I wish ADOBE would help!?!?!? Where are you guys? Seems like once you purchase the software, we're just on our own!

  • Bridge CS3 shows different colour on previews when they are selected

    LS,
    Problem, all of a sudden: Bridge CS3 shows different colours on previews when they are clicked and selected. At first, they are ok, they look the same as they are on camera. When I click an image and select it, it looks like there's a colour profile being applied to it, making the colours dull, its also pulls back the contrast of the image. Can this be corrected in prefences or something? So that the previews are the same as non corrected raw processed files?
    David

    Oh, good grief…  Sorry.  I forgot you haven't updated yet.  My bad.  
    In CS3 you'll find the Auto Tone adjustments in the Camera Raw preferences, and the use of high quality in Bridge preferences.  You won't have all the options available in CS4.
    If you are shooting raw, the upgrade to CS4 just to be able to use ACR 5.3 (and now 5.4) is a no-brainer.  Well worth the money.
    If you don't upgrade, you'll be leaving a lot of raw image quality on the table, as Jeff Schewe says. ACR 4.6 is light years behind 5.3 and 5.4.
    In addition, Bridge 2.x (CS3) is easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or any other major software developer.  It should have been fixed for free by Adobe, but shamefully, it wasn't.  I would not hesitate to call it an unusable, worthless piece of cr@p.  Fortunately Bridge 3.x (CS4) is much better.
    However, I repeat:  What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior.

  • Bridge CC is not showing Indesign CC 2014 file previews

    Bridge CC is not showing previews of InDesign CC 2014. I don't see an update for Bridge anywhere. What am I missing?

    Welcome to the forum,
    Not sure if it's the issue or if it will help, but you could try purging the cache, etc..
    http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/adobe-bridge-workspace.html
    Restore preferences
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
    Reset Preferences
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.
    If that does not help, you may try searching the Bridge forum or asking there.

  • Bridge CS3 shows no thumbnails??

    Adobe Bridge CS3 has been working fine for quite a while. I have been having
    some problems with my System (C) drive, where it and Photoshop CS3 are
    installed.
    I swapped out the C drive, and restored an image of the drive, and most
    items are working OK. But I'm guessing that Bridge may have suffered some
    "corruption", prior to when the image was made.
    When I open Bridge CS3, it opens normally. with the files listed on the
    lower left, but there are no thumbnails visilbe for any images. Momentarily,
    I did see some for one folder, but now they are all not showing anyting at
    all in the thumbnail or individual window on screen.
    Just for kicks, I double clicked in the middle of where the thumbnails
    should be, and an image then opened in Photoshop. So they appear to be
    invisible, but present.
    Any suggestions here? Is repair install needed, or is there a setting
    somewhere that has gotten messed up, that can be simply fixed??

    Hi John,<br /><br />I just took a look at my settings now in Bridge CS3. That box is not <br />currently checked, and the Bridge Cache files are no longer in the <br />associated folders. Apparently this was not the case prior to my problems.<br /><br />I don't remember ever making a choice here.<br /><br />The centralized cache obviously makes it easier to purge when problems come <br />up. Are there any negative aspects of using the centralized cache?<br /><br />What I cannot understand is how essentially all the cache information in a <br />hundred folders in my image tree on my D drive suddenly all became corrupted <br />at the same time. There must have been something else on the C drive that <br />caused this.<br /><br />In recent days, I was in the process of replacing my C drive due to strange <br />happenings, and restoring an image of that drive to the new drive. I would <br />have to beleive that on C drive in a Brdige folder somewhere, there was a <br />"master" controlling file or ?? that worked with the cache, and it got <br />messed up.<br /><br />Ron<br /><br /><br /><br />"John Joslin" <[email protected]> wrote in message <br />news:[email protected]..<br />If the option to "Automatically Export Caches To Folders When Possible" is <br />checked in Bridge Preferences (as Ron apparently did) I can't imagine that <br />the purge can be done system wide with one click.<br /><br />I have always used a centralised cache, for this and other reasons.

  • Bridge CS3 no longer previews CR2 Canon

    Currently previews of canon raw photos loaded in Bridge do not always show the photo, only the generic icon "CR2", and won't show the photo when slidestrip icon is selected either. It worked on previous downloads, but not currently. I can see the photos OK in Preview, PS CS3, and Iview, so it's only Bridge that has the problem. Tried purging the cache as Ramon suggests, to no avail.
    Current equipment: iMac Intel, Mac OS 10.5.5, Camera Raw 4.6, Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9, Canon 40D.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    I had a similar problem. I tried everything here and it still did not work. So I went back to v 4.3.1. After going back to 4.3.1, I decided to see if I installed v4.6 manually, would it work. It did.
    So if you can only see the raw icon and not the raw images in Bridge, and you have the new Plug-in v 4.6 installed, this is what you do.
    1 - Close Bridge (and Photoshop)
    2 - Download the previous Plug-in v 4.3.1 if you do not still have it.
    3 - Go to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug ins/CS3/File Formats in your HD (NOT the Library in the users folder)
    4 - Place the Plug-in 4.3.1 in the File Formats folder
    5 - Open Bridge and see that the raw images are images and not icons
    6 - Close Bridge (and Photoshop)
    7 - Go back to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug ins/CS3/File Formats this time installing Plug-in v 4.6.
    Now I made a new folder in the File Formats folder that I called OldPlugins and placed plug-in v4.3.1 in it and I have not had any problems with it. If this does not work for you (like the person above) put the OldPlugin somewhere else.
    8 - Open Bridge and the raw images should be raw images and not icons.
    I trust this will work for you also.
    Cheers!

  • Please suggest how to preview faster in Bridge CS3

    Hello,
    I'm moving from Bridge CS2 to Bridge CS3 but found out that it takes more time to preview pictures eventhough I selected quick thumbnail already. It still takes few seconds more to get pictures in focus.
    In Bridge CS2, it seems like the program creates preview pictures for all at the time we open the folder. It takes few mins at start but it can show preview pictures very fast later.
    Should I need to change the setting in CS3 for this? If there's no such function, I may need to go back to CS2 as there're tons of pics to view per day.
    Thanks so much for your help.

    Have never used CS2 so can not compare,
    If it is like the later upgade the cache of CS2 and CS3 are not the same.  So the cache will have to be rebuilt.  Once that is done it should be the same speed.  But as I mentioned, do not know how much things changed from 2 to 3.

  • Don't have permission to delete files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3

    Help!
    I'm unable to delete image files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3.
    Workflow:
    1. Take a bunch of photos on my Nikon
    2. Load them to my MacBook Pro, 10.6.3
    3. Open them in Preview and right-click "Move to Trash" on the photos that I don't want.
    ==> this results in "Move to Trash Failed. Some files could not be moved to Trash."
    4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
    ==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
    I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.
    Permission on the image folder start out at
    me: Read & Write
    admin: Read only
    everyone: Read only
    but even if I change all to Read & Write, I still get the same errors.
    What's going on?????
    Thanks.

    Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue...

  • Bridge CS3 shows disclosure triangles when no subfolder present

    I am using Adobe Bridge CS3 v2.1.1.9 with Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    In the left pane of Bridge is a list of folders.  Any folder that contains a subfolder has the small disclosure triangle to its left. Clicking on the disclosure triangle opens the folder to show the subfolders.
    But here is the problem: many folders show a disclosure triangle but there is NO subfolder contained within.
    Solutions?  Thanks!
    db

    I believe that you have it reversed. It should show a disclosure triangle if subfolders are present. There should not be a disclosure triangle if subfolders are not present within that folder. The Folders list in the left pane is designed to show folders but not files. Files/images show up in the Content pane.
    Note, also, that Bridge CS2 behaves properly with disclosure triangles only when a subfolder is present. I have switched back and forth between the two the past few days to test this and the previous version works properly.
    I have corresponded with others who note that this is a known problem but that no fix is available. I would be happy to learn otherwise! However, this is more of an annoyance than a real problem since it has no adverse effects on my workflow.
    Thanks for the response,
