Bridge CS5 Export Panel Displays Nothing

I have installed the updated for Bridge CS5 to version 4.0.2 and the export panel does not display anything. I can select a group of images and right click, choose export to hard drive, but nothing happens. Then when I exit Bridge I get a warning message telling me that Bridge will clear out all queued files from the export panel.
I have the Bridge Export Panel working fine on my laptop, but my main machine is not working. Does the Export Panel require internet access? That is the only difference I can see between the two. I would think that I would at least see the option to export to my hard drive . I wonder if Bridge needs some services to use the Export Panel that I have turned off since I am not online?
Any help would be much appreciated.

The programs installed on the two machines do vary a bit. I don't have antivirus on my main machine since it is not online. At one point, I disabled a few Windows Network Services so they don't use system resources. I wonder if the Export Panel requires some Windows Service that I have disabled? I could not update Bridge to 4.02 until I turned on the Windows Service titled "Workstation".
I would really like to get the panel to work. I like being able to specify images size by just the long edge...works great for a mix of landscape and portrait orientated pictures....I wish Photoshop could batch process resizing images based on one dimension.
Thank you for your input Curt. I appreciate it.

Using Bridge CS5 exporting to flickr get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again."?

using Bridge CS5 to exporting to flickr, but get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again." please help?

I'm experiencing the same problem. Don't think I can help, but maybe I can offer an explanation. It looks as if Flickr has changed their API and Adobe will need to update the export plugin to comply to get it working again. I found this announcement on Flickr:

Bridge cs5 won't display controls for output for pdf or web

hi, selected some images to create a contact sheet, but when i clicked on "output" nothing appeared in the window, as if this module didn't launch. any suggestions for a reset? i'm at a college, so it will be a pain if i have to reistall software (IT guy has to do it). nothing in bridge's preferences refer to the output controls. any help appreciated.

nothing in bridge's preferences refer to the output controls. any help
appreciated.
In general you don't need to reinstall at first trouble. A restart holding
down option key and from the pop up menu resets all preferences to default
settings including the default workspaces.
But could you be a little more specific about your workflow, f.i. on what
output you are clicking for the module (the default workspace, the icon or
menu view-workspace-output) And does that window look as output containing
at least the content panel, preview panel and output panel with all its
settings (document-lay out-overlays-header etc).
Maybe you can provide a screenshot of what you are seeing when in output?

Bridge CS5 Export Module only saves as 72 dpi file

I frequently export my edited RAW files as high resolutioin JPG files. I've been using the Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor for export. Having just purchased CS5, I tried using the Export Module and discovered that it only exports files as 72 dpi JPGs (not the 300 dpi of my original files). Anyone know how to keep my exported files as 300 dpi?

No it's not a bug, the jpg is being created from the preview image (this can be a fullsize document) and there is no PPI information so the document defaults to 72 PPI in photoshop.
I agree there is a problem with the quality setting! It does not seem as it will save at the best quality, the range should be 1 - 100 not 1 - 12.
If you would like to try my interpretation of export you can try my Bridge Processor..
I have added a field to set the PPI

Export panel bridge cs5 - image quality only to 10

Hi
Is anyone else having problems with the image quality settings in the image options. It cannot seem to save the max setting of 12 it only save jpegs at 10.
Any suggestions, Thanks Andy

I had the exact same issue - except mine is limiting it to a maximum of 8
The workaround I found is to build the export profile exactly as you would like it - and let it pick whatever number it wants (8 or 10) - ignore the words of Low/High/Maximum - those just correlate to the 8 or 10 (or 12)
12 is the true maximum for the JPG export and once you run it - there is a noticeable file size increase and the images are a higher quality.
Once you have the profile built, go into the folder "Export Presets"
Macintosh HD > Users > YourUsername > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CS5 > Export Presets
Open up the file that matches the same name as what you created inside bridge
The file will likely open as an .xml file inside dreamweaver (or another XML editor)
find the line:
<imageQuality>8</imageQuality>
and set what the system set as an 8 (or a 10) to a 12
<imageQuality>12</imageQuality>
save the file and run the export again.
You will have what were 2-4MB JPG files becoming 8-12MB files with a quality of 12/Maximum
Hope that helps

Bridge CS5 gallery, placed in DW CS5 does not show when uploaded

My husband has a Halloween haunt. We are gearing up to promote this year's haunt (and our charity of choice this time), and I wanted to update the photos from last year. Admittedly, I am an experienced print designer, wanting to learn more about web design, so not a pro at this by any means.
I created 3 galleries via the automated Bridge CS5 export (saving each gallery to its own folder within the site folder), then placed each gallery's index file into an iframe div relevant to that year's photogallery (one web page for 2010, one for 2009, one for 2008) so I can keep the site's masthead and a link to go back to the main photos page. Everything works fine when I preview it (local) as well as test on browsers (local). However, when everything is uploaded to the hosting company server, there is a white box for each gallery. I am at a loss. Cannot figure this out, and we're almost into October!
URL for one of the gallery pages: http://windyhillhaunt.com/photos2010/10gallery.html
URL to go in via the main photos page (select either 2010, 2009 or 2008): http://windyhillhaunt.com/photos.html
Please help. I want this to work for my husband, but I also want to learn how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Julie Fanning

I was never able to get it to work. Had all files from the root directory (all resources, images, css, etc) copied onto hosting company. Tried to alter the relative path (Kdn002), etc. Nothing worked other than local testing.
Finally downloaded jAlbum, used the same div and iFrame structure, and it worked! I may make some tweaks down the road, but it's working fine now.

Adobe Bridge CS5.1 - Edit Export Preset Crash

I have successfully duplicated this issue on multiple machines, multiple user accounts running variations of 10.7 - 10.7.2. All Adobe updates applied.
Open Bridge CS5.1 > Click on EXPORT Panel tab > Save to Hard Drive (double click to edit) > choose Browse...
If you don't crash at this point... choose cancel and then select Browse again. You may also successfully select a folder, then go back and reedit preset by selecting Browse again... Crash.
I feel like I have tried it all... clean OS X, clean install of CS5.5 - no luck.

Same problem here. It's really frustrating. Thinking of ditching Bridge and switching to another app. If I can't batch export RAW to JPEG, the program is pretty useless.

Preview panel loses Color Management after Minimize Bridge CS5

Whenever I minimize the Bridge CS5 application window to the Windows taskbar, upon restoring or maximizing the Bridge application window the image(s) currently showing in the Preview panel no longer appear color managed (they look exactly as they would appear from a non-color-managed app.) In order to see them as color managed again, I have to either de/re-select their thumbnails or double click the Preview panel twice (once to minimize it, and once again to restore it.) Otherwise resizing the Preview panel has no impact on the color. The thumbnails in the Content panel are fine. This did NOT occur in CS4 or earlier versions of Bridge - otherwise the same environment.
I have a wide-gamut monitor, which causes many non-color-managed images to look super saturated, especially reds & greens, so it is probably much easier to notice this behavior in this environment than from a typical-gamut monitor.
Windows 7, x64, ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card, Bridge v4.0.3.9
Anyone else notice this annoyance?

Thanks Curt,
I doubt this is a video issue as no other versions of Bridge behave this way on this system. I have the same preference settings in Bridge CS5 as for Bridge CS4 - which works fine. Nor does Photoshop exhibit this behavior post-minimizing, & Photoshop behaves perfectly for all the OpenGL Drawing settings (which I have set to Advanced in PS.) Bridge just seems to poorly manage the Preview panel color post-minimizing the application window, but otherwise everything displays fine during operation. I'd be surprised if it was just me but if it is, it's an easy enough annoyance to work around. I'd imagine that this isn't too observable on a normal-gamut monitor.
I tried your suggestion of "use software rendering", just in case, but it made no difference. Appreciate the idea though...
One more observation:
While thumbnails are being generated for the first time on large images, they also have the non-color-managed appearance until they complete their generating, at which time they take the managed appearance - but I just consider that a processing-timing final step & it hasn't changed behavior from previous versions of Bridge.

Cannot export a panel into adobe cs5 plugin/panels

this is the error message I reecive
after creating and saving the panel in my documents folder
can not export the panel to the cs5 plugins\panels

Hi
The images you posted are not displayed
Anyway if you work on a windows system ,are you sure you run Configurator 2 as an administrator ( right click on Adobe Configurator 2 program icon > run as administrator) in order to export your panel to the cs5 plugins/ panels folder ?

Empty filter panel in Bridge CS5

I’m using Bridge CS5 on Windows 7. If I create a new folder, add an image file, and attach a keyword, the filter panel remains empty – as if the folder were empty. That is, not only are there no terms under the Keyword filter, but no filter options are displayed at all.
However, if I use Find to search for the attached keyword, then there’s no problem locating the image.
This is such a basic issue that I’m sure I’m missing something obvious. Is it related to caching or indexing? Closing and reopening Bridge doesn’t make any difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I see what’s going on now. It looks like there’s a minor Bridge 4.0.4.2 bug relating to the filter panel (in the lower left part of the Bridge window). Basically, no filter options are shown in the panel unless the current folder contains at least two files.
To see this behavior: (1) Create a new folder; the filter panel will be empty of course. (2) Copy an image file into the folder; the panel is still empty. (3) Copy another image file into the folder; the panel is populated with options, e.g. keywords, camera raw properties, etc. for the two files. (4) Delete one of the files; the filter panel is empty again.

Bridge CS5 preview / slideshow not working on 27" Apple Cinema Display

I'm using my 2009 (black key) MacBookPro and Mac OS X 10.6.7 running Snow Leopard.
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Adobe Bridge CS5 works beautifully on my MBP, my photography workflow depends on Bridge.
However, when I attach my 27" Apple Cinema Display and try to preview images by hitting the space bar I get a gray screen. Likewise, the slideshow renders only gray.
It's not the "black out other monitor". I've cleared the cache to re-render all the previews.
I've scoured these forums as well as the Apple ones, and the helpful folks currently at Photoshop World in Orlando advised me that, collectively, the kind people here know everything. I know I can't be the only photographer who uses this configuration. I'd like to use the display for client previews/ordering.
I would so appreciate any tips you may have for me; thank you in advance for your time.
Warmly,
Darcy

Yes, thank you. I found that post - among others when researching before I asked. I tried all the suggestions in that one and in the others.
My issue isn't low quality rendering in the preview and slideshow - my issue is NO rendering at all in slideshow and preview. It's just blank. Gray.
I deleted the cache in my library and through the Bridge program itself to rebuild the previews. I tried the various options of "software rendering" on and off, and different configurations in the preferences and none seem to make the preview or slideshow work. I have all the updates from Adobe and from Mac.
I tried importing the photos I need to show my clients (who are coming to my studio this evening!) into Lightroom 3, and the LR slideshow works. But using LR and having to import photos into it is an extra step not in my workflow.
Ideally, I can make Bridge work instead of making yet another resource-consuming copy of these photos on this computer via the Lr library.
So - current state is unsolved.
Lightroom 3 slideshow and preview works, but isn't ideal since it involves importing the images into Lr. Since that works - would that mean my video card is acceptable?
Bridge can show thumbnails on the 27" display but no preview or slideshow.
Bridge preview and slideshow works perfectly on my 15" MacBook Pro.
I'm so disappointed since I bought the 27" Apple Cinema Display this week and was told it would work with my computer "out of the box" - I was sure to ask several times, "so there's nothing else I need to buy or do to make this work with my programs? Just plugin and go?" and several times I was assured, "Yes... plugin and go."
I sure would appreciate anyone who's made Adobe Bridge work with a 27" display. Thank you!

Can I resize to an exact size in Bridge when exporting with the export panel?

I need to create and export jpegs to an exact size: 5700 pixels lonmgest side. I used to do this using the 'fit image' command in photoshop. However, if I enter 5700 into the export panel box it converts to just below it, as it's a 'fit to' box.
Any ideas? as i'm testing. If this is possible without photoshop then we will be able to encorperate bridge CS5 into our company workflow. Thank you

You do get rounding errors in Bridge this is normally 1 pixel less, so this needs to be fixed by the Bridge team.
There are no other parameters.. bitmapDataObj.resize(dimension[, quality])

Export Panel Gone in Bridge Creative Cloud?

Does anyone know why the Export Panel, and more specifically the Export to Hard Drive routine is not included with Bridge Creative Cloud?
This has been an incredible time saver to batch process RAW files into various formats for different uses. It has been in CS5 and CS6. Any plans to include it as part of Bridge Creative Cloud?

It is a seperate download. Look at past posts for link.

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads; the output panel is blank. Where is the script?

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads after my system back-up; the output panel is blank.
The other Workspace features appear to be functional.
What/Where is the output script supposed to be?

If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences. Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 optons.
