Bridge CS6 Filenames?

Suddenly Bridge has changed how my photos are named when I download from my SD card. It used to just use the image number from the camera eg img_656.cr2 now it puts the date DOWNLOADED (not even the date taken) plus an arbitrary number assigned by bridge (restarted numbering at 001) eg 20141207_656.cr2 as the filename.
How do I get it to go back to the image number as its filename again? Thanks for any help.

See if this old thread is of any use

Rating info in Bridge CS6

Hi there, using Bridge CS6 (OS X 10.8.4).
I have a large number of .cr2 files and, in order to have a smaller file size to preview, I batch processed them all to .jpg files, while keeping the original .cr2 files on an ext. disk.
The filenames of the .jpegs are the same as the .cr2s.
I previewed the .jpegs and made some ratings using Bridge. Can anyone tell me how I can transfer/copy this ratings info from the .jpegs over to their original .cr2 files, or do I have to duplicate the info by manually rating each of the cr2s?
Many thanks for any help!

You can't do so in Bridge easily, maybe if you create a custom script or ask for it in the dedicated Bridge Scripting Forum maybe they have a solution for you.
But you can use your external disk itself also with Bridge, just point Bridge to this disk (you must have read and write permissions for this disk to add rating and other metadata)
And the previews are not that big a file, unless you have a very large monitor and have set the option to generate monitor sized preview you can get relatively larger files in your cache folder but you have to use thousands before this gets a problem, and you can always purge the cache to make extra space.

Bridge CS6 too bright

My Bridge CS6 has suddenly become too bright. Any fixes?

Glad this solved your problem and no, if don't have trouble with views there is no need for purging cache at the moment.
Don't use NIK myself but I would choose for uninstall and reinstall the NIK plug ins.
Search for info before acting, here is a start:
https://support.google.com/nikcollection/answer/3000951
Save your custom presets by exporting them (always a good thing before updating or any other changes) and be sure to have the correct serial numbers and registration keys at hand. Then check for the latest versions on the NIK download site and install again.
And for the part of retrieving original filenames:
I never make a big deal out of filenames, I start with renaming on import using shot date yyyymmdd and a sequence number but check the option for the original filename being kept in exif. (you can set this as an option but I believe the original raw filename is always preserved, although not sure about this)
If you need to find (for what ever reason) this previous filename is somewhere in the XMP data of the file info. Either in advanced, Raw data etc.
And if this info is available there is always some one keen on writing scripts willing to help you with a script to reveal this info and use it as the new filename (there is a dedicated Bridge Scripting forum).
So in case of 6000 the longest wait would be to find some one to help you and then a bit time to install the script. The running of the script is a piece of cake and does the work for you, same as batch rename in Bridge can do.
Don't use LR myself that much, can't get used to the library structure and export of results. And prefer the customized UI of Bridge I have in combination with ACR and PS.
I also think (personal) that combining both LR and Bridge is not the best strategy…

I want to customize the "HTML Gallery" web gallery template in Bridge CS6.

Using Win7 64bit + PS CS6 64 bit ext on a 16GB PC. In which folder do I find the web gallery templates for Bridge CS6? Is there info available on how the programming/configuration works with the info passed by Bridge - filename, contact info, copyrights, description/title, email, etc.
Please point me to any sources of info.
I lke the idea of setting-up a gallery directly from bridge. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi JJMack,
Can you please explain how you use Phoshop Scripts to generate web galleries? I've created a Photoshop script to bulk add captions/descriptions from a text file to image files, so I have some JS scripting skill. Are you willing to share your scripts?
I really like the ability to setup the oder of my gallery in Bridge (images in rows and columns) then directly generate a small 20-40 image gallery, with descriptions, file names, etc.
I'm also looking at Lightroom 5 to produce small web galleries. It appears that the post-processor from Turning Point is suggested.
I only use the Bridge as a metadata Editor and I do not use Lightroom. I know the Bridge can be scripted where files can be selected in Bridge the passed to Photoshop and Photoshop Scripts like the Image Processor scripts through Bridge talk. My script does not have Support for the Bridge through Bridge talk. You may be able to add that support, My Scripts use some of the metadata fields like Photoshop Wed Galleries used them and also has an option to support EXIF information. When the Web Gallery is created Photoshop starts your web browser on it like Photoshop Web Gallery feature did so you can verify it, My Script does not Upload the galleries to you web server like the Bridge output module can. I rather use FTP then tie up Photoshop transferring the gallery over the web. My Scripts are just hacks of a Script Jeff created for the Simpleviewer Flash Web Gallery, The script support that Flash Gallery and their other Flash Galleries and the Flash WS-Slideshow Gallery so mobile devices without Flash support can not view my galleries. So some nice tablets with High resolution displays are not supported, The Scripts basically uses canned HTML for the Gallery Viewer and writes the XML file for your Images getting the information for title and description ect from the image files metadata, The Format of the gallery is also controlled in the XML file written by the script. I just hack at JavaScript and because I don't use the Bridge for selection and order it did not brother me that Jeff's code did not support or use Bridge talk It simply includes all image from a folder into the gallery it creates. It uses Photoshop Script to create the gallery tree with Thumbnails and web size images with optional visible watermark text stamp, Web image size is set like fit image my scripts default size is 1600x1200. All my Photoshop stuff is free and downloadable from this link

Adobe Bridge CS6 stalls in Photoshop...

I downloaded CS6 Design Standard from Adobe webpage and have tried several times to get mini bridge/bridge to run, but the message 'Waiting for Bridge CS6' runs for hours. I am using a 64-bit Dell desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium. I have tried option 4 on Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel, but nothing changes on deleting the Switchboard from the registry. Some folks here have suggested looking up bridge.exe in the Task Manager, but my task manager doesn't even show it up.
I would appreciate help, and soon.

Well… that's your expectation. Did you pay for the download? During the first 30 days you'd be entitled to your money back, but it's been a heck of a lot longer since Adobe demanded or accepted any mnoney for "CS6 Design Standard". If you just recently acquired that obsolete suite, it was certainly not through a legal purchase from the Adobe store.

Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw

Hello,
I need urgently help.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe Bridge CS6 since more than 1 year, using Camera Raw, v 8.6.0.254 without any problems.
Last month I bought a Mac Book Air and installed Photoshop Elements 12, Adobe Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6. But I'm still missing the possibility to open my pictures in Camera Raw.
After downloading the actual version 7.01 of Camera Raw from the website of Adobe.com and trying to install it I got the following error report:
UPDATE FEHLGESCHLAGEN;
Updates konnten nicht installiert werden. Dieser Path ist für Sie nicht geeignet.
Name of the downloaded program is: AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.
What shall I do to get Camera Raw running?
Thanks so much for your help

Adobe Bridge CS6 on Retina Display

I just installed Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Retina Macbook Pro and updated Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop with the latest updates. In Photoshop, everything looks crisp (including Camera Raw when opening it from Photoshop), but Bridge is still blurry. In addition, when opening Camera Raw from Bridge, everything is blurry. There are no updates available for Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw when I check for updates...any ideas on fixing this?
Adobe Bridge CS6 - 5.0.2.4
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 13.0.6 x64
Adobe Camera Raw 8.3.0.141

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

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.

Adobe Bridge (CS6) - bulk action - JPEG Options must be OKed for every image

Hi all-
I created an action script for a watermark in Photoshop CS6. Then, I ran my script as a bulk action in Adobe Bridge (CS6) against my JPEGs. However, the JPEG Options dialog/window appears for every image in PS. Is there a way to have this automatically OK (and at the highest quality) so that I don't have to sit and click OK over and over?
I am on a Mac btw.
Thanks!

File Associations in Bridge CS6

I upgraded CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design & Web Premium. Most of my preferences (layout, etc) were imported correctly from CS5. When I right-click (PC, Windows 7) on the Bridge CS6 thumbnail, and click on 'Open with ...', there was a collection of Microsoft programs (COM Surrogate 6.1, Microsoft PowerPoint 12.0, Publisher 12.0, Windows Live Photo Gallery 15.4), and no Photoshop (Default). When I used the WIndows fille-associations program, and Photoshop CS6 was associated with *.psd files, then it appeared in the 'Open with ...' menu as Photoshop (Default). However, the other Microsoft programs are still present. How do I get rid of these and add the relevant Adobe programs (Ai, Id, Dw, etc), please?

With Windows 7 unfortunately you're not really given the tools to completely manage what shows up in the context menu. It seems to be part of Microsoft's strategy of oversimplifying things, even when there's loss of functionality, so that laypeople don't find Windows daunting. I always figured better education and help facilities ought to do the trick, but they continually take the power to control one's own computer away. You don't want to know what's coming in Windows 8.

White Balance Metadata not showing in Adobe Bridge CS6

Hi there, I am running Bridge CS6 on a Mac, and use Canon 5D and 5DMark 111 cameras. I have an issue with Bridge which I can not seem to figure out. Whether I shoot Raw or JPG and I am trying to do some testing for white balance, once I open the images in Bridge, in the little icon panel just below the folders/favourites panel etc I can see the f stop info, speed, metering , ISO etc, but the only icons I get for WB are if use auto - then I see AUTO. But when I do a manual WB like 'cloudy', 'tungsten', or 'shade' etc all I get are the symbols for 'Custom" or "Manual". How do I get the actual symbols for what type of WB i've chosen to show up?
I have purged the Cache - both in the individual folder and the overall Cache in preferences. I have checked that all the boxes are ticked in the preferences panel for the Metadata. So not sure what else to do.
Cheers D

Ok thanks for that, at least I wont be chasing my tail.
I did install the DNG converter 8.3 but I still NEF files as a NEF icon. Any clues to what I may not be doing right there?

Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it. I had to download ACR7 and install it.
After the successful install of ACR7.3, I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe PS C6 13.0.4 x64
I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help. It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:
Where do I go from here?

Adobe Bridge CS6 Not Opening

I recently installed the trial version for Photoshop CS6. Prior to this, I have had Photoshop CS2 installed on my computer. Before installing CS6, I uninstalled CS2.
Now, Bridge CS6 will not launch when I click on it. The cursor will show that it's working, but then it will stop and nothing will happen. I did some research and found that this error occurs whenever Bridge CS2 has been previously installed. I tried what was suggested (create an empty folder in C:\Users\[user name]\App Data\Roaming\Adobe\), but that did not work for me from this topic:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4522770
Also, my OS is Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).
Can anyone please help?

Do you have CS5 installed? If so Bridge is probably running in the background. Open Task Manager and look in Processes Tab for Bridge.exe and close.

Adobe Bridge CS6 crashing before starting 5.0.2.4

Hi there,
Adobe bridge is crashing for me before even starting.
I'm running as an Administrator on Windows 7x64 and using the latest version of Bridge, 5.0.2.4
It came with Adobe inDesign 8.0.2 which works perfectly, the only problematic app on the workstation is Bridge.
I do have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS2 also installed. I understand this was an issue that was supposedly patched by Adobe a year ago reading up on the forums but this problem still obviously exists.
Even uninstalling all CS2 products and running CCleaner to wipe out all registry references to CS2 does not fix Bridge CS6.
Adobe, please advice on what to do next
