Bridge CS6 Display Problem

When I set up Bridge, I used 3 columns. The left column contains the Files/Folders Panel with the Filters/Collections/Export Panels underneath. In the middle is the Content Panel which is set to display 1 thumbnail wide. To the right is the Preview Panel with the Metadata/Keywords underneath.
Everytime I close Bridge and reopen, the display shifts so that I get a larger Content Panel which now displays 2 or 3 rows of smaller thumbnails and correspondingly smaller Preview and Metadata/Keyword Panels. Is there a way to make the display settings remain as I want them whenever I open Bridge?
Thanks.

Sure, just make sure you SAVE the Workspace you create under a distinctive name. See the Help files to learn about saving a work space if you've never done it before.
You also need to make sure you quit (exit) Bridge in an orderly fashion after recreating and saving your workspace, because Preferences are saved whenever Bridge quits normally, not when it crashes or you force quit it.

Bridge cs5 camera raw 6.5 to 6.5 and new bridge cs6 preview problem

Hi,
when i actualize camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview after 1 adjustment in camera raw.Image apears like when we open it in camera raw and it last few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
Months ago the only solution i found after several instals was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files in Windows 7 64 bits.
Is any one have same problem?And why only in 6.6 (and new camera raw 7.0) and not in 6.5?
Thanks

I use Bridge CS5 with camera raw 6.7.1 in combibnation with a canon 6D and a canon 5D Mark2. The raw files from the 5D are shown in bridge, the raw files from the 6D are not. There is just an icon. The camera raw add-on is the latest usable update for Windows, the canon 6d is listed as compatible. Has anyone an idea what to do?
The Canon 6D id NOT supported by ACR 6.7.1. It was supported for the very first time in ACR 7.3 whch requires CS6 to run.
Therefore you will never be able to open raw CR2 files from the 6D directly in CS5.
If you do not plan on upgrading, you can download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 (always use the latest version, it's not tied to your version of Photoshop at all), install it like any other application and then run it on each batch of CR2 files to convert them to raw DNG files that you can then open in your version of Photoshop and ACR.

Bridge CS6 cache problem causes freeze

MacPro early 2008, 10 mb RAM, Apple OSX 10.7.3, CS5 already installed.
CS6 Beta was working fine until today.
Now when I open Bridge CS6 I get "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation." I then try to purge the cache, but nothing happens and Bridge freezes.
Worse, I cannot use my keyboard at all or perform any mouse click actions if Bridge is the active window. I cannot close Bridge. What I can do is alt/tab to another window, and then Force Close Bridge.
I have tried restarting the MacPro but this does not solve the problem.
The problem started earlier today after I re-edited a nef which I had previously edited in ACR 6. I cancelled all the previous edits first.
Also, yesterday I installed Little Snitch, which I have now uninstalled.
There are no CrashReporter logs for the freezing problem.

How is your disk free space? When I loaded Bridge CS6 the default option was for 100% preview. That takes a lot of time and space to build. Can occupy gigs of space.
I reset thumbnails to embedded. Much smaller and faster and for me works just fine.

Why is My MetaData Window of Bridge CS6 Displaying Incorrect File info?

The File Properties tab in the MetaData Window of Bridge CS6 is saying that my file is 72 ppi but when I open my file in PS it is actually 300 ppi 15x10 inches. See screen grab below. I understand that 72 ppi at 125" x 41.7" is the same as a 300 ppi file that is 30" x 10" or 9000 x 3000 pixels dimensions. But why is bridge making this conversion and displaying the file resolution as being 72 ppi when the file is 300 ppi? Is there a preference setting somewhere that I need to change?
When I look at these same files from another networked machine using Bridge CS6 the Metadata window is showing the files as being 300 ppi? Is there a setting inside Bridge somewhere that is making it show all files in the Metadata window as being based upon a 72 ppi resolution?

jonnymo,
I believe I should have said Yosemite/Column view.
Has the issue appeared after an upgrade to Yosemite?

Bridge CS6 Cache problem

Have installed Photoshop CS6 and in using Bridge I get the message "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation". If purge the central cache as instructed, on the start up of Bridge I get the same message and are unable to use Bridge.
I am on a Mac using OSX 10.7.4
Your help will be appreciated

"Removing the Cache manual is fast, you only need time to rebuild cache,
but that is something you can do with one click on the button an let it
run overnight." How do I do that?
The path provided is for a Mac, there should be a similar path for Windows, maybe Curt can provide you this. The principals stay the same, you quit bridge, dump the cache file manual, restart Bridge (builds a new, empty but fresh cache folder) and when you point Bridge to a folder it start building the cache according your settings (ACR, HQ preview etc.)
If you have a lot of subfolders just select the main folder, use the menu view / show items from subfolders and this means your main folder shows all the content of your subfolders in the content panel.
This takes a while and according to your amount of files and file size as well as processor speed it can take several hours before it is finished. For best practice start this procedure as 'last of the day', leave your PC on for the night and let Bridge do its job. It takes a lot of resources and time for Bridge to cache so if it is the only task your PC has to do the better it will do it

Adobe Bridge CS6 display question

I am a landscape photographer. Many times I shoot multiple exposures of the same scene to combine them later in HDR. These are generally 3 or 5 exposures taken at the same time. It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR. Does anybody know how to do that? I could not see it in the View options in the menu bar of Bridge. I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.1.21) on MAC OSX 10.6.8. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You can't do so in Bridge when having different amounts of series. If you shot always 5 you could drag the content window to a new size in combination with changing the thumbnail size so 5 thumbs would show in a row. The same with 3 but there is no way to have a content window showing 1 line with 3 and 1 line with 5 files in the same panel.
In filmstrip mode you have 1 single line but that does not meet you wishes also.
There is the option to auto stack for HDR or Photomerge (Stacks / Auto stack Panorama-HDR) but frankly spoken this sucks because it either does not do the job properly or simply crashes Bridge to my experience.

Bridge CS6 displays some jpg and tiff images overexposed--answer

This forum somehow makes it difficult to follow up on my own post. I wanted to thank the two people who provided thoughts--all good thoughts. The person talking about the different versions of ACR got me thinking, and I noticed the little circular icon on the upper right corner of the affected images. I right-mouse clicked those images and selected 'clear settings' and now those images show up as they should. Thanks, folks. But, Adobe forum, how come I had to create a new post just to say this?

You should see a reply button on the bottom of each post, if you are signed in. Look in upper right corner it should say Welcome ______ .
If you are responding by e-mail rather than from the forum I can not say as I have never used that form.

Bridge CS6 bad preview after adjustment in Adobe Camera Raw 7.0

Hi,
when i update camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview only after 1 or more adjustments in adobe camera raw (yes, "Always High Quality"and "Generate Preview-Size Previews").
Image apears and stays like when we open it in camera raw in the first few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
Months ago the only solution i found after several reinstals of phoshop, was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files with Windows 7 64 bits .

When I saved a image to my desktop and wanted to open in Preview so I could do some altra fast tweeks like add sepia and then resaved it came up that I didn't have aothourization to save changes. I then as suggested went to finder - get info - and unlocked the file and entered the desktop password when prompted and closed but it still won't save the changes. I don't want to change it to open as a PS file because it is a JPEG and takes allot of effort when preview cnages under tools color is so efficient. Other suggestions to try?

Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
After one minute the preview gets updated, but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
Only then the images get deleted.
Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
Edit:
I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

Hi Noel,
Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

Cache Bridge CS6

I get this error message when I open Bridge CS6, a problem has arisen. Can not read cache. Try empty cache buffer settings to correct the problem. I have tried this several times but the message will not disappear.

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

Display of .CRW (Raw) images in Bridge CS6

I have recently upgraded from PS CS3 direct to PS CS6. I have an issue with the display of raw images taken by my Canon PowerShot S70 camera (.CRW format). Many of the portrait-style images are displayed as landscape. This appears to be random as not all portrait images are affected. I did not have this problem with CS3. I have discussed the matter with the Adobe helpdesk which suggested various remedies (purging cache, resetting preferences) to no avail. They came to the conclusion that PS CS6 does not fully support the file structure generated by this camera in that it cannot detect from the file data that it should be displayed as a portrait image rather than as a landscape image. I have two issues with this. Firstly, if true, it means that PS CS6 has taken a slightly backward step as far as I'm concerned and secondly, it does not answer the random nature of the incorrect display.
Obviously I want these images to be displayed correctly. I can rotate them in Bridge/PS manually, but I have a lot of them scattered over many folders and it is a task I would rather be automated.
This issue also occurs in Windows 7 Home Premium, but as I was using Win 7 HP with CS3 without this display issue, it appears to be an Adobe problem as it only occurred after the upgrade to CS6.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so how have you solved it? Is there a fix for it?
Many thanks
Richard

I have just checked my .CRW files and realise that the display problem is not random, all .CRW images shot in portrait mode are displayed as landscape. This appears to be an Adobe issue and means that the helpdesk was right - PS CS6 does not fully support this type of Raw file.

Adobe Bridge CS6 does not display WMF graphics files - what to do?

The question says it all. I am running Win7Pro 64bit with Adobe Bridge CS6. This may be a windows/microsoft/wmf file format problem...but what to do? WMF files display with a icon only. Please advise.

Apparently Bridge cannot preview .WMF files. I have old ClickArt CDs and occasionally want an image. So I have converted all the .WMF files to .AI using a script in Illustrator. Once converted, Bridge will display a thumbnail.
Here is the script written by Carlos Canto. (Thank you Carlos, whoever you are!)
Copy the script text. Paste in a plain text editor. Save as ConvertWMFtoAi.jsx in the folder Program Files: Adobe: Adobe Illustrator CS6: Presets: en_US: Scripts
Then you find it in Illustrator under File: Scripts
// script.name = makeAiFilesPDFcompatible.jsx;
// script.description = opens and resaves Ai files with PDF compatibility checked (Folder Batch);
// script.requirements = none
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 06/4/2013;
// script.elegant = false;
// script.forumPost = http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1224874?tstart=0

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.
