Bridge CS4 Colour labels - compatible with OS X Tiger labels?

Hi all,
I use Photo Mechanic to cull images but want to start using Bridge CS4 too.
When I colour code files/directories in OS X, these labels don't appear in Bridge, but they do in Photo Mechanic.
Is there a way to get Bridge to recognise OS X Tiger's colour labels and vice versa?
Regards,
John

Hmmm.
I guess they're not compatible.
I'm currently doing a huge cull of stuff from the last few years, and I'm colouring the directories as I go. These colours show up in both PhotoMechanic and Finder, but Bridge is unaware of the folder colours. It's annoying having to keep switching to the Finder to see which directory needs processing next, as they all appear one colour in Bridge.
Adobe - can you please implement this feature? It's SO useful.

Bridge CC cache not compatible with bridge CS6

Starting the Photoshop CC adventure. First install was Bridge. First test was to see if the Bridge CC cache is compatible with Bridge CS6 cache. First result is NO.
Test method:
1. Set the Bridge CC cache location to the same folder I use for CS6, which contains 10+ gigs of thumbs for my library.
2. Navigated Bridge CC to a sub-folder with about 30 images, see Bridge CC re-do the thumb extractions.
3. Close Bridge CC, launch Bridge CS6, navigate to the same sub-folder, see Bridge CS6 re-do the thumb extractions.
4. Close Bridge CS6, launch Bridge CC, still pointing to the same sub-folder, see it re-do thumb extractions again.
5. Repeat steps 3&4, always with same result, a redundant re-generation of thumbs.
Conclusion:
The actual thumbnail files in the cache are the same. But something happens in the index files (data/store) to make each version think it does not have thumbnails, so it re-generates them. IOW, when Bridge CC looks at the cache last used by Bridge CS6 it says "I have not been here, must re-cache", and visa-versa.
Solution:
Must let Bridge CC have its own separate cache, so the two versions don't walk over each other. Must let Bridge CC re-cache everything, which for me (and most users I assume) will be a long and time consuming process.
Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.

Not much surprise here. The same was true for CS5 vs. CS6.
Then it also should not be a surprise for you that this behavior already started in the Filebrowser (Bridge predecessor that came with CS1 and by far the most stable and fast cache ever in the history of Bridge) and has not changed since. Nor is it likely it will chance in the future.
Hence my advice to not use Bridge for long term DAM because you need to recache the lot every new version...

Cs3 and cs4 web standard compatible with vista home basic?

Are Adobe CS3 and CS4 Web Standard compatible with Vista Home Basic 32bit?
I only see Windows Vista Home Premium / Vista Business / Vista Enterprise / Vista Ultimate / XP listed as compatible.
Many thanks.

Vista didn't exist when CS3 was released and as such, there is no official statement regard compatibility of CS3 with Vista Home Basic.
For CS4, we are very explicit. CS4 is not at all supported for Vista Home Basic (there are a number of networking and service support components that Microsoft leaves out of their Home Basic versions).

Bridge CS4 edit history problem with OS change from XP to 7

I've changed my OS from XP to 7. After reinstalling software, Bridge CS4 no longer keeps my editing steps in the "edit history" metadata. The only steps recorded are that I've saved a file. I have the edit history box marked in preferences in both Bridge and PS, and have tried changing the metadata section in Preferences to session only, concise, and detailed. None of those choices make a difference. Any suggestions on how to get my edit history steps back in the metadata of Bridge? I use the edit history frequently! Thanks in advance!

Pixel Aspect CS4 is no compatible with other systems/softwares

If you make a video with a circle twisting around itself in CS4 in a comp like dvpal (PAR 1,09) and export to other system like smoke, flame, avid, final cut, When import, the video is ok, but if you want twist de video around itself (IN SOME OF THIS SYSTEMS) the circle deforms like an oval or an egg. This dont occur if you do the circle in previous after effects with PAR 1,07 because the settings match with the other systems (avid, etc). The same deformations occur whit if you make a circle in a still image. Make a circle in CS4 in DVPAL (1,09) and export like still image,import and rotate in other software (avid, finalcut, smoke, etc.), it look like an egg. So what happen with this? This new Pixel aspect is no compatible with the other softwares!. This is bad!!!What's the solution? Must wait for the correction in all the other softwares? I don't think so. Sorry my english. Thank's. Diego (Argentina)

Diego,
Can you post a screen shot of this error showing in a flame?
Please note that the presets in CS4 are just that; presets that you can easily change or ignore. If you're working with a system that dislikes the correct values; by all means use the old values when you're setting up and rendering your AE project.
The CS4 PAR values are technically correct, it's just that the industry have been ignoring the "blanking" in video for all these years.

Printer not compatible with OS X Tiger 10.4? Help!

Hi there,
A few months ago I bought a Konica Minolta Magicolour 2400W laser printer (in a panic, was the cheapest available - in order to print my thesis). I have since bought an Apple Mac ibookG4 running OS X Tiger 10.4. Konica Minolta tell me that this printer is not compatible with the Mac and that I can't use it. So, my current situation is that I have a £200 printer that cannot communicate with over £800 worth of new Apple equipment. I am slightly P**d off. I probably should have done my homework but didn't expect a brand new printer not to have drivers compatible with a brand new computer + operating system. Short of selling the **** printer and getting a Mac-compatible one; what can I do? Please help, any suggestions would be most appreciated.

ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Looking at the Konica Minolta web site it lists only Windows support for this model.
http://printer.konicaminolta.com/support/currentprinters/mc2400wsup.htm#Drivers
So looks like the advice was right. The Minolta 2430DL and 2450 network models do support Macs so perhaps that is the confusion.
The only option looking around is to try Foomatic-RIP for Mac OS X and EPS Ghostscript in order to use the open source driver. Checking the Linuxprinting.org web site there is indeed a working driver for your model.
However it is only a 'Filter' which will need to be compiled to work with the above. Not a straightforward exercise I am afraid. I have found a recent thread which deals with this exact same model and perhaps you could try it yourself if you feel brave, or perhaps contact the guy posting the request and ask if he can send it if he manages to compile a working version.
The relevant thread is here:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/macosx-list/2005q4/001449.html
If you want to have a go here is what you need to get started.
1. So, firstly go to this web site and read the Usage guide:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/#usage
You can download the latest version of the required applications on that page too. Follow the instructions carefully.
Note that it says here that if it is just a 'Filter' then you will likely need to compile it which seems necessary.
2. Go to this web site and download the m2300w-0.51 driver which also supports the 2400W
"The m2300w driver is a Linux printer driver for the Konica Minolta magicolor 2300W and 2400W color laser printers. It is intended for being used in conjunction with ghostscript, foomatic and CUPS."

Airport Extreme 802.11 n Wi-Fi compatible with Mac OS Tiger?

I want to create a home network connecting a mini mac, PCs, Iphone and an external hard drive shared by computer units.
I have a stationary PC and one laptop, both running windows XP. I also have a mini Mac running Mac OS Tiger (I think 10.4.8) and another laptop running Vista. I also have an IPhone.
I have bought a Western Digital My Book Essential 1.5 TB and a Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi base station.
The idea is to connect the external drive to the Airport Extreme in order to share the drive.
Question 1:
I ran into some problems. When trying to install the setup software for the Airport Extreme I get the message that Mac OS 10.5.x is required as minimum. Even if the sales person and the store home page states Mac Tiger as minimum requirements. I have not found any other way to set up the Airpot Extreme. Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard (which I will do eventually but I had counted on getting it to work before that)? Or is there another way to make it work?
Question 2:
I have very modern fiber broadband into our house. I therefor have a Router connected to the WAN and all units connected to the Ethernet connections. I do not want to use the Airport Extreme as the incoming Router since I want to place it somewhere else (connecting the Hard drive to it). How do I connect the Airport Extreme to the current pysical network? Should I connect a cable from one the Router ethernet connectsions to a) the WAN port of the Airport Extreme or b) to the Ethernet port? Put in another way, can i use the Airport Extreme as a switch in the existing network only using the Ethernet ports and not using the Airport Extreme WAN port? I am not familiar with all network terms such as switch, pure bridge mode, router bridget etc.
I am considering connecting the network as follows
Internet-> Broadband supplier delivered Router -> A, B, C (ethernet ports)
A->Mini Mac
B-> Play stattion 3
C-> Airport Extreme (to what port???)
Airport extreme-> PC , Printer (ethternet ports), external drive (USB port)
AGain, what ports should i use for the airport extreme?
Is this a good setup?

Hello dayknight. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I ran into some problems. When trying to install the setup software for the Airport Extreme I get the message that Mac OS 10.5.x is required as minimum. Even if the sales person and the store home page states Mac Tiger as minimum requirements.
The very latest versions of the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule come with v5.5 of the AirPort Utility. This version will only run with OS X v5.7 or later as stated on the box. So either Leopard or Snow Leopard will be required to do so. The version that came with the previous model DID work with Tiger. Sorry!

You will want to connect an Ethernet cable from this other router to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on your new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). In addition, you will want to reconfigure the AEBSn as a bridge. You would do this using the AirPort Utility. (ref: AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)). Of course, they would be difficult unless you upgrade to Leopard or Snow Leopard first. If; however, you have a PC with Windows XP or Vista, you could load the AirPort Utility on it to do the base station administration until such time you update your Mac.
Finally, your proposed network configuration looks workable.

Is Fireworks MX2004 compatible with Mac OSX Tiger?

I guess the title really says everything...
I want to upgrade from OSX Panther to Tiger. Fireworks'
Technotes seem to say (as I understand them) that there were
originally some compatibility problems between MX2004 and Tiger but
these were fixed in a Fireworks update. Is this the case?

Bridge CS4 has LONG delay in opening the first image

Photoshop CS4 upgrade was my Christmas present this year. I've been fighting this annoying "problem" ever since then...
I DO see this "problem" on my desktop PC, which is a Dell XPS-400 PC (with 2 GB of memory) running Windows XP (Media Center Edition) with SP3 installed. I DO NOT see this "problem" on my laptop, which is a Dell XPS-1530 (4 GB of memory) running Windows Vista SP1. I installed the Photoshop CS4 software exactly the same way on both machines, and I have the preferences set the same in both Photoshop and Bridge (and Camera Raw) on both machines.
Here's the situation: I first open Photoshop CS4 and then click on the Bridge icon in the Application Bar to open Bridge. When I use Bridge to open a photo, by either double-clicking the thumbnail, or right-clicking on the thumbnail and choose "Open" from the context menu, there is a 42 second delay before Photoshop opens the file. This long delay only occurs when opening the very first file.
Once that first image file is opened, double-clicking any thumbnail in Bridge will have it open in Photoshop CS4 in about 2 seconds. There will never be another long delay in having Bridge pass a file to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) again - until I close the applications and restart them. Once I restart the applications, the first photo takes 42 seconds to open....
This delay does not occur in opening the first image file if I right-click on the thumbnail in Bridge CS4 and choose "Open With" and manually choose Photoshop CS4.
Even if that is how I open the first (or several) image file(s), the first time I try to open a file from Bridge by double-clicking on a thumbnail (or right-click on a thumbnail and choose "Open") there will be that annoying 42 second delay before it opens.
It does not matter what the file format the first image file is (JPG, PSD, TIFF, or DNG), or what the file format of any subsequent image file is. As long as I do not close the Bridge and Photoshop applications, any subsequent file will be passed from Bridge to Photoshop in only a couple of seconds.
I have manually set the File Name Extensions in Windows XP, and in the Preferences in Bridge. Both have been set to open the file types listed above with Photoshop CS4.
I have uninstalled CS4, and have used two seperate Registry cleaners (CCleaner and jv16 Power Tools) before re-installing Photoshop CS4. This had no effect on this situation. I've run "chkdsk C: /r" several times, with no problems reported.
I have been searching through these forums for over 2 weeks now, and I have not seen anyone else report such a problem. I use my XP desktop much more than my Vista laptop, so I'd really like to fix this situation, but I don't know what else to try.
Gregg Mack

Don,
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried them all, but the problem remains exactly as it was. To properly document my efforts:
In Bridge's Preferences, I Purged and Compacted the Bridge Cache, then changed it's location to D:\Bridge_Cache (D:\ is a second physical internal SATA drive).
I can not tell the exact size the Cache is set to, but the slider in Bridge's Preference is very close to the left end (10,000) of the slider.
The Windows Page File is set to 3072 MB min and 4096 max, and it is entirely on the D:\ drive. (I have 2GB of physical RAM in the PC.)
I defragmented the C:\ drive using Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier, and even ran a Boot Time Defrag.
Rather than set some exclusions for Norton Anti-Virus, I jsut disbled that Virus checking program for all of my experiments.
I deleted the Bridge Preference File by holding down the Ctrl key as Bridge was restarted.
I even deleted the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. I then rebooted the PC - twice. I then re-disabled Norton Anti-Virus.
The PC is approaching 3 years of age, but it is a 3.2 GHz Pentium D machine with 2 GB of RAM and two internal SATA drives. Every other application that I run on this machine responds reponsively. Again it is only the FIRST image file that I have Bridge hand off to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) that takes forever. The second and subsequent image files take a second or two.... That doesn't sound like it's an "old hardware" problem to me.
I'm willing to try anything else that you, or anyone else would like to suggest.
Thanks
Gregg Mack

Installing CS4 to Macbook Pro with Retina Display

Hi, I just got a Macbook Pro with the Retina Display and I have tried installing CS4 to it, but apparently the version of adobe air does not exist. I do not know if this has anything to do with the flash storage since adobe products do not work with it. I installed CS4 to my iMac just fine. I read on another forum that CS4 is not compatible with the Macbook Pro with Retina Display and there were people who suggested installing CS6.
However, I also read that adobe is just installing retina display support to the products in the upcoming Fall to some of the CS6 applications (not including InDesign, which I need). Should I switch to the Macbook Pro w/o Retina display?

Adobe CS4 applications do not work properly with Mountain Lion 10.8. See table:
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
CS6 works fine. I believe Adobe updated CS6 to work better with retina display. Check at the Adobe web site:

Should you switch or not is your decision.

Has bridge cs4 a database?

Hi
has bridge cs4 a database?
i mean i can tag photos and rating, photos in different folders and different hard disk
well if i want to see all the photos rated 5 star , can i do it?
with bridge cs3(it has not a dabase) i had to use the search tool or set the filter and browse the folders
but this with cs3 overload the cpu because every time scan photos for the info
well with bridge cs4 can i do it , has a database , or also cs4 has to scan every time all the photos?
my last question is can i make a filter and save it , i mean use the same filter every time brigde cs4 start up
for example filter ->files jpg and raw files , save this filter (i tried to make a scipt ,but i was not able to do it)
and every time bridge cs4 start up ,works with this filter?
thanks to all
have a nice day

Bridge does have a database, but Bridge is designed to work as a browser. It doesn't catalog files.
You're better off asking these questions in the Bridge forums, as well.

Bridge stopped display labels in thumbnails CS4

Today, Bridge CS4 stopped displaying labels (coloured ones) in thumbnails.
It still keeps track of them, they show up in the large size display on the right and I can filter by label.
I checked preferences and I have display labels on thumbnails checked.
The only thing I did differently today from usual was to access bridge/ps via remote desktop from another computer but bridge was running on the computer where the photos are stored and where I usually work on them from (ie. I was not running bridge on another computer).
I have restarted bridge and the computer but nothing brings labels back.
I do not use ratings but notice similar problem with them.
I have purged cache in folders to check as well but that doesn't help.
Any ideas how to bring thumbnail label display back?
thanks for your help
Vista 32, 4GB, intel

one other thing, the file names do not show up either
this is in the grid view
when i use other views they seem fine but much less convenient than having a easy way (labels) to see what I have done with images
