Bridge CS4 Preview of NEF Files Doesn't Update

Somewhere along the line, this stopped working for me. I can click on a thumbnail in Bridge CS4 to edit the file in Camera Raw. After editing, the thumbnail in Bridge has that little icon with two triangles in the upper right showing that the file has been edited. However, the thumbnail does not update to show the edited version. It still looks as if unedited. How do I fix this? The ORF files from my Olympus camera update okay, so it seems to be an issue specifically with NEF. I am fully updated to Photoshop 11.0.1 and Camera Raw 5.6. Windows XP, Nikon D200.

Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

Bridge CS6 Previews of raw-files have bad (pixelated) quality after editing.

I'm having problems with using Bridge for browsing my pictures. Preview quality of edited raw (nef) files is terrible. It looks like a very low quality jpeg. The untouched NEF's are fine, and saving the edited NEF as PSD also gives a perfect preview.
Purging Cache doesn't work.
I'm using:
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4 x64
Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 x64
2x Monitor 1920 x 1200
Photo's made with Nikon D800E (7360 x 4912 px)
See screenshots of settings. Any Suggestions?

What I find frustrating is:
1. Raw previews look like crap compared to the file itself.
2. Its possible to generate decent previews by a complicated purging-process.
I can imagine you are frustrated.
There are two differences on my set up so I can't check, first I use a Mac and you are on Windows and I use Canon and you Nikon.
However it should not result in this much visible flaws in the preview.
There can be a lot of cache files but Camera Raw Cache is something completely different then Bridge Cache.
Camera Raw is a .dat file and contains some info from the raw settings and probably other stuff that I can't find, it states being a video file but you can't play them.
Bridge cache are jpeg files that you can view, even without Bridge, for example they can be opened in PS itself without problems.
If you have set to build all at 100% then it will generate jpeg files in the original size at a high quality jpeg setting.
As said, I have a Mac but Yammer or Curt can provide you with the correct path to find the Bridge Cache folder yourself.
On my System this is in the user Library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CS6 and inhere is a folder called cache. This folder contains 4 folders.
- 256 : contains the thumbnails, very small files (in the range of 10 to 50 kb)
- 1024 : contains the HQ previews, relatively large files (500 KB to 3 MB, depending on the files itself)
- data : a text file containing all sorts of info, don't know what exactly but is a text file that also can grow to several 100 MB
- Full : in here are the 100 % previews settled and they can grow to huge proportions ( around 10 MB for 18 MP files, depending on file size and content etc)
If you have set to keep 100 % previews in Bridge prefs this last folder (full) will be taking a lot of space on your disk
If you also have set to export cache to folder it creates same size (hidden) files with this cache in the folder itself.
I never understood the need for export cache to folders for several reasons, first and most important, I had a longstanding bug preventing me from doing so (error message about overwriting a CacheT file) but also each version of Bridge has a different Cache format and you can't read older cache files. Also reading the cache file (especially when on DVD etc) takes a very long time. For purpose of needing to view archived files on external devices you better select the 'Prefer Embedded' option, works faster ten reading earlier exported cache.
Not sure how you did purge the Bridge Cache but in your case I would Quit Bridge and find the equivalent Cache folder on Windows (Yammer, Curt?).
manual delete this Cache folder with all its content and restart Bridge.
This provides you with a new, fresh but very empty cache file. You need to recache the lot for the previews.
If you are not sure just try it for experiment, move the old folder outside the library and try it. If it does not make any difference just Quit and replace the old file

Bridge won't open NEF files, when you double click them, using PS CC

I have installed the latest version of PS CC and the Bridge, but when I go to my Nikon NEF files and double click to open them, they open up in some weird Window Photo Gallery, then I went to the preferences for bridge and reset the settings, and now when you double click on them nothing happens and they don't open at all. I am using a PC with Windows 7.
I have posted this question before, I need help, PLEASE

If you go to the Bridge Preferences>File Type Associations what does it list as the default?
If it doesn't list Adobe Photoshop CC you can use the Browse button to set it to
the Photoshop.exe in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC

Bridge CS4 Lags When opening File:

Hello folks,
I am a system administrator for the Savannah College of Art and Design. We are using Active Directory and have about 600 seats of CS4 installed on our PC's. The problem is, when a user (netuser or local admin) tries to open a file in Adobe Bridge, Bridge lags for a ridicoulously long time (1-2 minutes) before opeing the file. After the initial lag, all file browzing resumes as normal. However, this lag happens every time Bridge is reopened. I have tried clearing the Adobe cache and preferences and disabling all the startup services as instructed in the troubleshooting section, but the problem is still present. Oddly enough, I found that unplugging the network cable from the PC fixes the problem and Bridge is just as snappy as it should be.
My question is, why is our internet connection causing Bridge to lag so much and how can we resolve this issue?
Thanks,
- Ben

Hello again Curt,
We currently do not have any network printers connected to our computers. Bridge is definitely searching for something on the network, but I have no idea what that is. I have tried looking for possible network queries that Bridge may be getting stuck on, but I have not been able to find anything conclusive. Pretty much everything I've found suggests clearing the cache, resetting the preferences or disabling startup services. I've tried all these things but Bridge is still running like molasses on our computers. As per your last suggestion, I've also tried making the cache larger, but the problem still occurs. Besides, that shouldn't be a problem in the first place because we don't have very many pictures on these computers. I think the problem is that it's looking in places it shouldn't be for photos that probably don't even exist.
If there is anyone out there who knows how to disable Bridge CS4 from searching certain network locations, or what it queries on the network I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Ben

NEF file doesn't open "because it is not the right kind of document"?

Hello-
I just installed photoshop on a new computer and am trying to open NEF files. It gives me an error message that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". I have never had this error message when opening NEF files on other computers. Any idea what I need to do?
Thanks!

It would be useful to know what version of Photoshop you are using and what version of Camera Raw you have installed...odds are you need to update your ACR plug-in (or use the most recent version og DNG Converter).

Moving files doesn't update Flash Skins in DW CS 4?

Hello,
on a page I've got a flash movie (.swf with skin (via
importing/converting a qt in adobe media encoder, then importing
video into flash, adding a skin, them exporting to site folder an
opening in DW CS4).
it works fine in the browsers.
now when I want to change the position of the page in my site
folder (move it into different folder) DW asks me if to update
links, I click okay, but it doesn't update the code/links whatever
(to show me the skin for controlling the movie). What have I
forgotten to consider? Maybe alsready at exporting the file(s) from
Flash?
Thanks in advance,
beatrice

(I will assume you're using the FLVPlayback component in
Flash)
The .swf that holds the url of the flv (let's call that
player.swf for
now) uses whatever link you give it. You can give it a root
relative
location so it will work from anywhere on your site.
/videos/flvs/film1.flv for example.
And, depending on the object/embed code generated, you should
be able
to edit that in the code view in DW. Something like
&streamname=/videos/flvs/film1
And you can then store player.swf in a different location.
/media/swfs/player.swf for example.
I think DW will update links to player.swf if you move
player.swf to a
different location, but I don't know if it will update
object/embed
code.
However, it seems that .swf files created with the
FLVPlayback
component are hard-coded to look for the skin file in the
current
location - that is, the location of the html file with the
object/embed
code.

Understandable.

Oops. I think I answered this above. I think it is the
FLVPlayback
component that creates a hard-coded path to the current
directory.

Again, you can store the player .swf files anywhere, and the
.flv files
anywhere, but AFAIK, the skin .swf files must be in the same
folders as
the .html files that reference them.
There's a chance that somebody in the Flash forums has
created a work-
around, but I haven't been there in a while.
I haven't tested, but you /might/ be able to set a BASE href
element to
get around it. Of course, all other links in that page would
need to be
root relative after doing so.
Another method (if supported by your host) might be using
.htaccess
with a rewrite directive.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can edit (a copy of) the
FLVPlayback
component or one or more of its actionscript files found in
the
Flash configuration folder.

Bridge CS4 not recognizing tiff files

I downloaded an update for camera raw and installed in manually and after this I couldn't open Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and now bridge will show thumbnails of tiff files but won't open large. All I see is a generic icon. How do I get bridge to recognize tiff files. It recognizes jpgs, and raw files. I'm using Windows Vista.
Any help appreciated
Suzan

All Raw files are reconnized as all jpgs. I have my Bridge set up as a film strip with smal thumbnails and if I click on one thumbnail it opens large in preview area. I can click on a Raw thumbnail and it will display a larger view in bridge then I can open in Camera Raw for preliminary editing. I cannot do this with tiff files. I can see them as thumbnails but when I click on them bridge doesn't display a larger image (only a small icon) nor am I given the option of opening in Camera Raw. I can double click and photoshp regular will open or I can go up to file open with and go to photoshop regular but Bridge willnot allow me to view a larger than thumbnail size pic nor will it give me the option of opening in Camera Raw. My camera raw preferences are set to "open both jpgs and tiff files with settings".
Thanks Suzan
I purged the cashe from one file and it affected all files(all almost 500 gigs). I'd been working on this for hours. Thank you and God Bless.

Lightroom 2 or Bridge CS4 wreck my NEFs. How? Why?

I cannot tell if it is happening in Bridge or Lightroom2 but I am continually getting corrupted NEFs. Suddenly the files are only icons, unusable. Usually a "-1" alternate version is being created.
What gives? The files show 0 kb content in finder
Also posted in bridge foirum.
Mac OSX.4.11; bridge 3.0.0.464 CS4; LR2.1
G5 2.5 4 gb ram 70&
Also this subscribe by email NEVER works.

Hi Steve,
I work on the Lightroom team. Please contact me at jkmoch at adobe dot com. We'd like to see some of these files.

Photoshop CS4 and Nikon .NEF files

I just downloaded Photoshop CS4 for a trial basis. I use 2 nikon cameras and 1 Canon and shot is RAW format. The RAW file extensions are .NEF and .CS2. I had the understanding Photoshop had no problem reading these file formats (through ACR). However, I am not able to access photos under the .nef format. How do I access files under .nef?
Thanks

It reads it fine and I believe CS 3 does as well.
Perhpas there is a trial of Light room which users the same engine as ACR but has more organizing features. And the spotting tool works better.
But I assure you that ACR reads nef what camera do you have? Is it a recent release?

Lightroom opens Photoshop CS4 for edit but file doesn't open

I have tried looking for this thread but have not found it... 447 threads are a lot to scan...
When I try to edit a Lightroom 2.3 file in Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop launches but the file does not open (same for all other edit options: layers, pano, etc.) and the follows box appears in Lightroom: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS4 could not be launched"...
I have Windows XP Home Edition with SP3... over 3GB Ram... and all current Adobe updates...

Ah, now in that case this is where you'll find everything that you need to know, including access to the download. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4579
Having said that, with a Mac doesn't Camera Raw install automatically from within CS4 by choosing Update from within the Help menu?
Oh, and another thing. If you open CS4, go up to Help, from the drop-down choose About > Camera Raw. If it indicates 5.5 then the raw plug-in is already installed in the correct location. It won't show if it's not installed in the correct location.

Firefox preview for pdf files doesn't show certain Cyrillic scripts.

Since pdf preview support was added in Firefox I can't find a solution for the missing Cyrillic letters in the preview of the pdfs which the software in my company generates.
Other pdf software/browsers with preview don't have issues with the Cyrillic script regardless of localization and OS as the fonts are embedded in the pdf.
Can you please help with finding some documentation to use as a reference point for finding the solution for this issue?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

CS4 Photoshop and .NEF files

My old Photoshop doesn't recognize and/or open this type of file. It's only recognizes Jpeg. Is my version too old?

I don't have CC. Spend way too much time answering questions.
Some like DNG others dislike not using native raw image. Personal preferences. THe plus of DNG is that indeed you can open raw images from new cameras with old software.
You can upgrade to the subscription model or you can still buy the licenced CS6 version. Both will access the latest ACR.

Tjsp file doesn't Update

;9Fellows,
I face with another strange problem.
The customer have a customization on OIM web page where force the Passwords fields to have maxlenght=8 characters.
This was implemented with OIM Password Rules together.
Now the customer asked to remove this custom.
Ok, I open the xlWebApp.war, and inside the directory /titles I've change the files that have the modified before.
After this I remove all inside the /procompiled and /temp directories, re-deploy the xlWebApp.war,running the patch_oc4j.sh with success, re-start the opmctl and check the modification.
All the fields changed ok, unless the fields of Change Password. Exactly the follow fields:
Old Password
New Password
And the file that I've change (tjspChangePasswordTiles) have the new modification.... Funny not?
Someone know what's happen?

Search fro these lines in your JSP one by one :
<input type="password" name="oldPassword" maxlength="*200*" class="Fields" value="" autocomplete="off" />
<input type="password" name="newPassword" maxlength="*200*" class="Fields" value="" autocomplete="off" />
<input type="password" name="confirmPassword" maxlength="*200*" class="Fields" value="" autocomplete="off" />
Replace it with:
<input type="password" name="oldPassword" maxlength="*8*" class="Fields" value="" autocomplete="off" />
<input type="password" name="newPassword" maxlength="*8*" class="Fields" value="" autocomplete="off" />
<input type="password" name="confirmPassword" maxlength="*8*" class="Fields" value="" autocomplete="off" />
Second thing you are saying all changes are not reflecting after redeploying. Sometimes it shows such issues but not a big problem. If you are using JBoss then you'll have to delete contents of tmp folder and if you are using weblogic then you'll have to delete Precompiled contents before running the patch.
In weblogic you can do the changes in teh JSP it self.
