Bridge CS5 and GPS data

Hi,
I want to add a geographical description to my photos (streets names, etc)
Do you know a practical way to display in Google Earth or Maps the place from coordinates?
Bridge displays a non standard data format like 54,56.9005W
At this time I open Earth, create an untitled placemark anywhere in the map, then edit it and copy from Bridge lat and long to placemark description box.
Then adjust format to 54°56.9005'W, same as lat. Then I have to manually zoom in and move to find the placemark. No 'display' or something to do it automatically in Earth, only 'directions from here', 'directions to..'
It is a very slow procedure.
Thank you

GPS data format in Bridge is based on Adobe Extensible Metadata Platform(XMP) standard. The only supported format is GPS format dd,mm.mmmmW.
Thanks,
Bridge QE

Bridge CS5 and indexing on a Server

Maybe I'm way of base here, but I've used Bridge CS3 to successfully index files on a network server and it remembers the indexing (a library of stock photography) But now trying this with Bridge CS5 and each time I have a search (file or keyword) it starts to index the server from scratch, what is the dealo? Am I asking too much of Bridge should i be looking at a different solution, btw the server is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003,(which is a pain)

Problem with Bridge CS5 and Tools Photoshop Batch

When I select several images in Bridge CS5 and go to Tool>Photoshop>Batch and try an run an Action, I receive an error message asking for the Install disk. Bridge at that point freezes until I put in the install disk and then it runs the batch action fine.
This is very annoying as I always have to have the disk in my DVD Drive.
Any points would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Go to preferences/startup scripts and make sure there is a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop scripts.

How can I see the previews of my D610 in bridge cs5 and how can I open them in my CC photoshop?

How can I see the previews of my D610 in bridge cs5 and how can I open them in my CC photoshop?

Nah. Raw support is version specific and that extends to Bridge as well. Older versions simply won't handle new cameras. If this is important to you, you will have to use Bridge CC.

Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 need to uninstall

I have Adobe Bridge CS5 and CS6 that I need to uninstall off my mac I do not have Adobe Uninstall in the Utilities folder. Question how do I uninstall the applications

Question how do I uninstall the applications
CS6 uninstall is in the folder of Photoshop itself in the applications folder, I suspect CS5 also has this but can't check myself.

I have Adobe Bridge CS5 and Output is blank

Hi, I am supposed to be making a contact sheet using output in Adobe Bridge CS5 and when I go to output module is NOT working. I contacted Adobe support and they said they couldn't help me but to come here. Can anyone please help me? I have an assignment that I need to get finished!
Thank you so very much,
Heather Mullin

Thank you Robert. I just tried that and output still doesn't show up. I haven't used Bridge since I got this version. I think it is not there. I have heard of this happening in CC and there are answers. People have had trouble with CS5 as well but I can't find an answer. Thank you for trying! I appreciate it so much!

Color in both Bridge CS5 and ACR look yellow.

The color in my images are all yellow. I've seen some posts but so far no answer to the problem. Can anything at all be done to fix this problem. It it very, very frustrating. Because it's so yellow I cant use ACR for anything at all. Please help
Igor

Ok, for anyone having this problem with both Bridge cs5 and ACR. Here is what solved my problem. All images were looking yellow both in bridge and Camera Raw, so after I did a back up of my harddrive as a System Image all problems were gone! I have no idea what happened, but now the colors are just fine. The problem corrected itself. So, there you have it. Problem fixed.

Video and GPS data from iPhone movie?

Hi, I have following problem/ idea for a solution: I lost the canopy of by model airplane during a flight in a wheat field. Now I am looking for a solution to find it: what about a video camera and a GPS device, flying over the field, recording video and GPS data, play back video and (hopefully) find the canopy at frame xyz. Then read out the GPS position at this frame and go back in the field to the GPS coordinates and find what I lost.
So the questions are:
1. are the Video recordings stamped (?) with a continuous GPS position
2. can this data be read out
3. is there an app that can do this
4. is this the correct forum for this question?
Thanks for any ideas
BTW: I already tried to order a new canopy, no luck...

Let me get this straight... You lost the canopy for your model airplane... Now you want to strap your iPhone to another model airplane and fly it all over in the area where you lost the canopy.
Piece of advice: Make sure you set up find my iPhone on it before you send it out on its mission. you may need it, in combination with its ability to emit an alarm when triggered remotely, to find the iPhone after it falls off the search plane.
With luck, the fallen iPhone will land near the canopy you seek.
To try and answer the questions:
1. I believe the entire recording gets 1 location coded in the metadata. It is not a continuous stream of location data.
2. Not relevant based on the answer to 1.
3. I seriously doubt it, but I won't be shocked if someone has come up with something among the half million or so apps out there.
4. I don't think there is a correct forum for this, but this works as well as any.

Hex core efficiency in Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw 6.0

Conclusion: Batch processing of files in Bridge CS5/Camera Raw 6.0 is limited by an unknown factor which I currently believe to be software design and/or software implementation. While performance on a dual core would be more or less CPU bound, and on a quad core would use the bulk of the available CPU power most of the time, on a hex core machine the CPU is woefully underutilized; i.e. I could be doing the same work in substantially less time.
Suggestion: At the very minimum, allow the option to have Bridge/Camera Raw process N (where we choose N, given that a dual socket motherboard will be able to have 24 cores in the very near future) files simultaneously, so we can tune our own systems for the disk IO vs CPU bottlenecks we each have. At best, automatically keep the CPU(s) running all cores at or near peak all the time, or until you run out of disk IO bandwidth.
Observations taken with the Windows 7 Resource Monitor and the SirReal G15 keyboard applet
Camera Raw Batch actions:
When I select a number of photographs (I typically select scores to hundreds), either fresh RAW files from a Canon 50D or existing DNG's converted with prior versions of Photoshop, and apply some change to all of them (for instance: changing from the 2003 Process with ACR 4.6 camera profile to the 2010 Process with the Camera Neutral camera profile, I see very tiny sections of disk IO (not exceeding 20MB/s on a high end SSD), no hard faults/s in memory, no real network IO, and CPU follows a very distinct pattern, with about .75 to 2 seconds at each of the following CPU levels, in sequence:
18 (one core plus a bit)
70-88 (5ish cores)
18-23% (one core plus a bit)
45-55% (about 3 cores)
repeat
A very important feature for me, Bridge CS5 Preview Extractions on a new folder show 33-45MB/s of disk activity, and a solid, exact 25% (1.5 cores) of CPU with dips to 19% or so. This very clearly indicates that the Preview Extraction feature isn't able to use most of the cores in my processor.
Build: a new build computer (Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H rev1.0, BIOS F6) with an AMD Thuban 1090T 3.2Ghz hex core (running 5% above clock, FSB change to 210Mhz from the 200Mhz default, Prime95 stable for days), with 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and all Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop cache and files running on an OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD. OS is Windows 7 64-bit. OS level page file is completely disabled.

Is it possible you're overwhelming the main memory bandwidth by the fact that you are working on (multiple) large images? Multi-core machines can only work on as much data as they can get from/to memory, and what you're doing is kind of flushing data right through the cache. I'm less familiar with the AMD architecture, but doesn't the concept of 6 cores on one chip mean that they ALL share one main memory buss? This could be a case where given the task, more cores is not better.
It may also very well be that the entirety of Photoshop, which is at its core a relatively old application (architecture-wise), is not programmed to use multi-threading as well as it might be. Getting multi-threading to work right in an application is no picnic. And don't forget, this software is crafted to build and work in two widely different environments (Mac and PC) and so may not be able to use all the fanciest features of any one of those two realms.

Bridge CS5 and hierarchical keywords?

Hi, folks.
Just started using CS5 and I'm in the process of adding some keywords.
I find that when I add a lower-level or subordinate keyword Bridge will not automatically add the upper-level keyword to go with it.
For example, let's say I'm adding location-specific keyword data. So, I add "San Franciscio" and I would expect "California" to be added because it's the parent keyword. But this doesn't seem to be happening.
Am I missing some button that says "automatically add parent keyword" or something?
Thanks,
Greg
P.S. Oh, and for bonus points, any idea how I grab all the keywords in one image and apply them to another image? Some sort of a copy-and-dump feature?

That option is in edit/preferences/keywords.

Problem with JPEG files from Leica M and GPS data

It seems there's a serious bug in Camera Raw 8, hosted in Bridge CS6 on an MS Windows machine, with regard to GPS metadata.
When using a Leica M (Typ 240) with a multi-function handgrip then both the DNG files (DNG is Leica's native raw format) and the JPEG files out of the camera will include GPS position data in the respective EXIF metadata sections. However, Bridge refuses to display the JPEG files' GPS data (while there's no problem with the GPS data in the DNG files). Worse yet—when loading a JPEG file in Camera Raw for some parametric adjustments and saving the file then the GPS data will be entirely gone! (Again, no problems with the DNG files' GPS data.)
I suppose that Camera Raw 8 hosted in Bridge CC as well as Lightroom 5 are suffering from the same issue.

Nobody? Absolutely nobody?? Zalman? Eric? Anyone?

How can I download and install PCS5 (i have serial nu) when MacBookPro only shows Bridge CS5 and defaults to CS4?

I may have inadbertenly deleted CS5 Photoshop in error or it never installed. I had a time when HD was 99 percent full so I started deleting CS3,4 etc Photoshop, Bridege. I remember downloading for this laptop the CS5 for Mac , Bridge, Raw, DNg all that but it was over a year ago.
Download file shows unable to install CS5 Photoshop not all there (paraphrase). I cannot seem to find support at Adobe web site where downloads are available as long as they have your information. My information is all there.
I don't understand the new Download Manager but i downloaded it and it seems to deal with creative suite and mobile apps.
Do I have a conflict with my outdated unsupported Creative suite from pre intel Adobe I think CS7? I was on phone for long time. the lady couldn't speak good english . She put me on hold after asking twice (two holds) if she could transfer me to tech support. then bumper phone is dead, i.e. i got cut offf. So am on phone again.
Am almost 70 and do not want to buy a subscription for photoshop to edit when i can live with CS5 and i would like to upgrade LR to match CS5. Everything works on my IMAC since I paid for CS5. It is this laptop I having trouble getting CS5 Photoshop installed. Do I have to agree to the free Creative Suite trial? I don't want to shoot myself in foot, i.e. ruin chance to just keep using what I own. I understand they want us all to pay a monthly subscription for all the applications we paid good money for to keep upgrading. Nice to be able to change rules after ownership. I wish Adobe hadn't been bought up my sd;fans as it has gone downhill from their logos to their ruining apps like Word did with adding a zillion icons when we all know how to use shortcuts to choose Levels. I hate the new format it is more confusing. I spent a lot of money learning and loving Photoshop.
Please help . What do I do?

Hi,
I hate to say so, but I'm not far behind you in years. So anyway I'll try and help you out as a user and forum volunteer.
So let's see if I can properly answer your questions.
First off, never delete Adobe products on a Mac. You use the uninstaller found in the program folder. Photoshop CS5 for example,
Use the CS Cleaner to get at those bits the uninstaller missed.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Here the direct download link from Adobe for CS5 Installers. Mac included.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
If you do not have your serial number at the ready, go here to this link,
https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html
Sign in with the adobe ID and password you registered your products under.
Under "My Products" You will see what you purchased and a triangle next to it.
Click on that triangle to see your serial numbers.
If it is an upgrade, get the serial number from the previous version while you are there.
That should be enough for you to go on. Any further questions, I'll give it a try.
Don't worry about Creative Cloud. Adobe might advertise it, but you decide if you need it.

Different Menus in Bridge CS5 and Bridge CS 5.1

For some reason the Tools menu has options in the CS5 that are not available in CS5.1 of bridge. Why is that? I'm also missing startup scripts that are discussed in the help files? How can I get the menu commands that are in CS5 into CS5.1?
I have attached screen shots of my issues. Bridge CS5 versus Bridge CS5.1
Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Dear Omke,
Thanks for the advice but as I said before nothing seem to work :
first: I'm affraid there is no such thing as photoshop CS 5.5 :
"Photoshop users, rest easy—-there are no enhancements or new features in this update for Photoshop whatsoever, so Photoshop will remain at CS5, though there is a free patch so it will be able to connect to mobile apps that may be released in the future but just so ya know—-it is NOT a 5.5-level upgrade like the other CS5 products are getting." quote from the Adobe.com site.
I'm running Photoshop CS5 12.4.0 x 64 : as far as I know the latest photoshop version.
There is always just one version of bridge or photoshop open.
Bridge CS 5.1 came with InDesign 5.5. And InDesign 5.5 only seems to work with Bridge CS 5.1.
I already tried to copy the start up scripts for Bridge via computer (root level, not user account) / library/ application support/ Adobe /Bridge CS5/Startup Scripts but there seems to be nothing in that file so I revealed the hidden files on my Mac but nothing showed up....
Now I notice that you suggest another path : computer (root level, not user account) / library/ application support/ Adobe /Start up Scripts CSxx.
But I don't see any Start up Script file in that location.
So I'm stuck.
I need to switch from Bridge CS5 when working with Photoshop CS 5 to Bridge CS5.1 when working with InDesign CS5.5.
That is not what I paid 749,-€ for !!!
If this was a restaurant dish with a bug in it, I would send it right back to the kitchen and have the restaurant closed for bad hygenic conditions !

PSE 12 and GPS Data

Hi.
Have found only one other post about this and it seems that there may be some misunderstanding as to what some users are doing, so I will explain in some detail. Please note that I have only just moved to PSE 12.
I import the my photos directly from my Flash Cards into the Organiser Album (Ctrl+G). As my camera does not have an internal GPS, I take an external GPS with me and use GeoSetter to update the EXIF data on the imported images. GeoSetter not only provides the GPS coordinates it also provides the location names (country, state, city, etc.) and this is all populated into the EXIF file. This data is visible to the PSE 12 Organiser.
On an old versions of PSE (that had Yahoo maps) I would then refresh the images (have forgotten the command) and the GPS data would be used by the Organiser. I would then select the images and use "Show on Map" and all shot and location points would become visible on the map.
I assume that PSE 12 can accept GPS and Location data from the EXIF, if its imported from the card because it does seem to have this functionality.
I'm unable to find a way to get PSE 12 to refresh the Organiser so that it can now use the GPS and Location data that has been written to the EXIF file after its been imported.
Can anybody help?

Some things that I have found out:
If you select your new photos (or all, if this is the first time you are using PSE 12 and you have imported an old catalogue), "Right Click" -> "Update Thumbnails" the GPS locations from the images will show on the Map. While the flags have been pinned into the map, the association to the images have not. Sounds confusing, or even impossible, how could the flags be displayed without linking to the image?
When it comes to updating the "Places" in other words the location "Place Tags" in PSE 12 it seems that these have to be placed manually. That is, you are required to place the images on a Map location to get that location recorded. So the data help in the EXIF file is ignored.
I'm very confused by how this system has been designed, I could even speculate that only part of the design has been coded, so they released what worked?
If there is somebody out there with a Camera with an internal GPS, I would like to know if the GPS data and location tagging is supported when images are imported.
PS: The online help is no help because it talks about features and even buttons that don't currently exist.

Efficient optimized way to read from serial port and GPS data display using map

Hi,
I have a custom h/w which reads the data from GPS Rx and after parsing send it to PC over RS232.
Each second it sends 201 bytes to PC. I have developed a VI to read the GPS data and display it. Project file is attached.
Fulctionality of different loops are as following:
1. LOOP 1: 1.1 Reads the serial data from com port.
               1.2 Synclonize the frame using start bytes "a" and "z".
               1.3 Reads next 4 bytes containg receiving error information.
               1.4 Reads next 195 bytes. in which initial 80 byes are GPS data. rest are others.
2. LOOP 2: 2.1 Extarcts the GPS information and put them in an array.
                  2.2 Extarcts the receive error infor and counts the total error by incrimenting the variable using shift reg.
3. LOOP 3:3: 3.1 Displays the GPS data in chart and log the data in a file.
4. FLOW : Uses the GMAP .NET based API to creat a MAP and display.
Problem statement:
1. Functionality acheived.
2. However in between data set is being missed by the programm.
Quesitions:
1. Is the developed VI is efficient in terms of using queue loacl variables etc.
2. What are the improvments I can do to solve the problem.
Any other suggestions|
Thank you

One of the most common problems in serial communication is the need for an adequate timing: how much time is expected your device to spend before answering? Have you put and adequate pause in your code before reading from the serial port?
Hope this helps
