Bridge doesn't open jpg and problem with PS

Hallo to everyone. I work on mac os LION. I'm a cloud member for PS (one year, paying monthly, not extended version). Bridge doesn't open my jpg files 'cause a message telling me I have to register the product (???) . Every time I open PS a window appear telling me mt trial period for PS Extended expired. I have Italian version (multilingual, setted in Italian) (sorry for my poor English, I hope my message is understandable). I updated to the last PS version. No way to cancel the message or open my jpeg from bridge. Anyone may help?

It can be a pain but I would suggest deactivating and reinstalling Adobe Cloud on your computer. Strange problems like this are likely to occur when there was a corrupted file during the download/install process (with any software), especially if you've been having this problem since the begining. Otherwise its possible it could have been a corrupted update.
Try that and let me know if it helps.

Opening jpg and pdf with Adobe?

I have installed Adobe Reader X, Air and Acrobat but since then the pdfs no longer open automatically and I dont know how to get the to do so. While trying to fix it, I mistakenly confirmed an "open with" for jpgs also with Adobe. And now I cant open any of my jpgs because a notice comes on Adobe saying that the coding is wrogn. Wha a mess! Can anyone help me with where to go and what to do. It just doesnt look as if there is any way to reverse these simple mistakes
Thanks

Shift-right click a JPG file and select Open with and then Choose program.
Select the program you want to use for these files and tick the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".
To associate PDF files with Reader do the same with a PDF.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open jpg and psd anymore

I use PSCS3 for one year without any problem.And now, when trying to open jpg or psd files I get this message:
"cannot open photoshop.exe because DLBCGF.DLL is absent"
When I click away this message a few (10 ) times, the file does open...?
I searched for this file and copied it into system 32 and another time into photoshop itself without any result.
A desinstallation and reïnstallation of PSCS3 didn't help.
Raw files do open without any problem.
Any help is more then welcome !

To explain: DLLs are a collection of executable code bits, but not necessarily a single file contains all bits and pieces for a given operation. Whenever a program requests a certain function from one DLL, this may mean that in turn that function may go on the lookout for another sub-function it needs. So if e.g. in your situation you open up a file, it will call up a specific piece of the printer driver, probably looking for color profile information/ color metrics. These snippets then might call another segment of a DLL, which contains either a settings panel to make adjustments or switch to another color profile, settings for paper size and rasterization, ink status monitor and whatnot. If you will, you could imagine it as a family of parents, children, brothers and sisters and even remote cousins who on their own can achieve nothing, but when combining their wits and individual strengths can give you a certain functionality.

I have followed the other discussions and done the suggested updates or deletes and to no avail.
Unless you tell us exactly what you have tried, we have no way of knowing exactly which updates or deletes? aren't working for you.
Try installing the combo > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, try the App Store.

As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.

Can't Open jpg and other attachments

Since this new email took over, I cannot open jpg and some other files that are sent to me. Word and pdf's are okay, but not photos that are attached. A pop up says they were deleted.
This is just since the new mail version arrived.
How do I get my pics back?

...but if I go back to Classic View I can open the.
That's it for me....I'm sticking with Classic View....waste of programming effort on that new version. I shouldn't be released unless it's 100% operable and thoroughly debugged.

Can't label files in bridge, and problem with starred files

I'm working with CS3 on saving raw files to jpegs, and I usually organize them by 5 starring my favorites as well as labeling them, and just in the last 2 days Bridge has been acting up and won't label the files. Also, it will 5 star them, but only about a 1/4 of them show up in the filter as being starred. Any ideas? I already checked my access, and I can read and write to them.... the only thing I can think of is that I ran a few updates a day or two ago.... help! this is getting really frustrating and slowing down my workflow...

Bridge won't open JPG files in Photoshop CS3

I changed my preferences to remove the check-box "prefer Adobe camera RAW for Jpeg and TIFF files" , restarted Bridge and tried to open a JPEG from bridge directly into photoshop. But double clicking on the image in bridge opened "paint".
So I change the Bridge preferences back to Prefer ACR for JPEG again, restart Bridge, and then bridge tells me that it cannot find Photoshop CS2. CS2 is not even loaded on this machine anymore.
So then I go to the file type associations preferences and "browse" to the CS3 version of photoshop, restart bridge, and double click on a JPEG and it again says that CS2 cannot be found. I change the association again using the "browse" to CS3 and then it opens the image up in "Paint" again.
Why won't Bridge open JPEG's in ACR anymore?
Why won't bridge open JPEG's in Photoshop CS3 anymore?

Bill, thanks for the reply. But I do not think that the file associations is the answer here. If I am using bridge to open files in ACR or Photoshop, I do not believe that I need to change the windows file type association. I have other PC's where the file association is not photoshop and bridge works fine opening these files. In fact, when using windows explorer to navigate JPG files, I do NOT want photoshop being opened to preview these images. On my other PC's, I can both preview JPG's using windows picture viewer, and open the JPG's via bridge in ACR. Furthermore, Photoshop CS2 is NOT the application listed for JPG's in the folder options in the control panel. So the problem that I have here has something to do with Bridge or perhaps something is corrupted int he files.
The reason why I suspect a corruption, is that not all files behave in the same manner in bridge. Some files with the same extension open as I would expect, while others do not. I did not realize this fact when I made my original post.

10.5.3 update and problems with ReadyNAS server

After updating to 10.5.3, I have had some problems with photoshop files on my Netgear ReadyNAS server
• I worked on a couple of photoshop files - files that existed previous to the update. I made some changes and saved them.
• Later, when I tried to open those files, I got the following error message and I'm not able to do anything with the file:
*Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document.*
• It appears that new files created, saved, worked on later and save out again work fine. In other words, files created after the update don't appear to experience the same issue.
• I've also seen the problem when creating new files in DVDPRO HD format with a square pixel aspect ratio and with layers.
• I tried the same routine on local drives on my hard drive and had no problems. So, it doesn't appear to be a problem with my Macbook
• I also tried the same tasks with my tower before I updated the software and didn't have any problems. After the tower was updated, I tried the exact same thing and received the error message.
So, everything is telling me that the issue stems from the Mac update. So far, I only see the problem with .psd files - other formats don't seem to be a problem yet. I tried InDesign docs, flash files and they look to be fine. Strangely enough, jpgs changed in photoshop don't seem to be an issue either - just .psd files.
Checked with Netgear and they weren't a whole lot of help. They claimed it might take 60-90 days for an update on their end. Is anyone else experiencing this problem on their server? Any suggestions on what to do?

Having exactly the same problem and it is crippling my design studio from last night. Saved a previously created before the update Photoshop file (110mb) yesterday evening after doing the Apple update, opened it this morning, no joy.
It seems that this problem has been around before but not that I'm aware with the ReadyNAS server. Adobe say that you shouldn't use a networked server as they don't support this way of saving:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403815&sliceId=2
Sorry that this post is brief but we are copying all the files to a separate server as we have deadlines. All I can say is nice work Apple. *****!!! The same goes to Adobe.

Element's 6.0's Bridge doesn't open anymore - says application "unexpectedly quit"

Hello. I purchased my MacBook Pro in late September, and purchased and installed Elements 6.0 for Mac.
Elements and Bridge were both working fine until late October, when one evening its Bridge CS3 application suddenly froze, so I had to force-quit it, and now every time I try to open Bridge I instead get this message:
"The application Bridge CS3 has unexpectedly quit."
I posted this question in the Elements forum, where I was advised to launch the updater from PSE Help Menu -> Updates, which I did, getting the message that there were "no updates available."
I was also advised to reset my Adobe Bridge preference files (by pressing and holding in the Option key as I launched Bridge), which I did but that didn't work either. I still get the same error message whenever I try to open Bridge, which I have been unable to open since October.
I was further advised to ask in this forum, to see if anyone could help me trying to solve this problem.
I will appreciate some advice on this. Thanks.

As I'm not familiar with Bridge version for elements it might have the same
places were it stores cache and plist file.
First try to delete the Bridge list file (user/library/preference) and in
here find adobeBridge plist file and drag this to the trash. (it will renew
itself with a fresh new file after restarting Bridge).
Restart Bridge holding down option and try again.
If not then close ridge again and in same user library but now cache folder
find the cache folder for Bridge (can be a very large file when having used
much files). (user/library/caches/Adobe/BridgeCS3 and inhere place the
cachefile outside the library (or drag it to the trash)
With this action you will need to recache all your previous cached files but
together with plist file and refresh prefs you have an almost new install
for Bridge.
Bridge CS3 is not the best version for bridge to say the least, I often used
this method (once every 5 or 6 weeks) because it had very much issues which
I solved with those actions. CS4 is more stable and faster, but you need to
upgrade and that is not for free...
I was further advised to ask in this forum, to see if anyone could help me
trying to solve this problem.
I will appreciate some advice on this. Thanks.

Workflow and problems with labels

Hello!
I've been testing out some things in Edge and I've noticed a few things that I've been trying to find some documentation and information about, I would greatly appreciate any enlightenment on the following observations:
Frame labels do not work for me - both with files created from scratch in Edge and ones made of existing HTML + CSS files. I tried the in app lesson on looping the counter and the 'Play from (loop)' doesn't work, I thought it might have been because of an error in the instructions telling users to play from a frame label that exists at the same point in the timeline where there is a 'stop' trigger but even offsetting the 'loop' label would not work. The final sample file works as intended when previewed.
I tried a few tests with new files consisting of really basic stuff - one symbol with an 'on-click' > play from (go/start/in/one/etc) and another symbol simply animated on the x and y axis with an animation to the opacity with a stop trigger placed on the timeline and tested with the play from label placed both at the same time as the stop trigger and offset after the trigger - neither works it has no effect when clicked. (I know about what scripts to do on completion to get it to play from the start) Interestingly play from (milliseconds*) *0.125/1001/2000000 etc does work for me but this is not ideal as it is far more useful to be able to play from labels.
Animating existing HTML - I've got a simple html page set up consisting of a container div with a number of other divs inside which I have been animating in Edge. The Edge file is set up so the container CSS overflow is hidden. Now can someone please clarify if the following method of workflow is a mistake on my part, limitation in HTML+DOM, bugs in edge or combination/none of those things?
Workflow - bring in the html file to edge do simple animated opacity etc on the various elements start adding keyframes and labels etc - the label problems as above. Now my intent is to have each of the div's in the container be clicked on and bring in the next one - in the same place in the viewport. I've noticed that when changing various elements visibility after tweaking animation to look good and then subsiquently setting on-off keyframes for visibility it would suddenly cause all elements lower in the DOM to move position and suddenly have what looked like keyframes for y axis position/transform? Is this bad practice to use the on-off visibility for elements? It meant that what should be a really simple and quick 10 second animation took about 3 hours to make, should we be not using the on-off keyframes for showing/hiding buttons that are in divs that sit on top of each other? Should i set up z-index values for all elements in the CSS files? (I saw a reference to you can assign z-index values in the 'elements' panel but I can only see 'arrange' - is this a different term for z-index?)
I'm a long time user of flash, maya, after effects, digital fusion, combustion, and many other timeline based software tools - it is fairly intuitive to me picking up new systems but the issues with on-off visibility and keyframes below in the timeline really was a very frustrating workflow. I'm used to changing and editing the whole animation on the timeline seeing what works and doesn't - deleting layers, changing timings etc, i found this way of working really slow due to changes to elements position when ones above in the flow were turned on or off. Please do suggest what I should change in my approach to using edge as compared to other animation tools as it looked great on preview but I'm a bit frustrated in using the release. Is this a bug in my release?
Where is the help and reference files for Edge? - is this screen shot it? -
I can't find any info on basic definitions of the tools and options anywhere, and can't find much on anything to do with using edge in production with existing HTML documents, please send me some links if you have them. I've seen the edge javascript API thing but is there anything else?
Cheers.
Here is the approximate code of the page for reference - I actually got the file working in the end but using 'play from (miliseconds)' instead of play from (label) and much frustration slowly editing the timeline and elements visible/hidden status and redoing animation on elements below in the timeline to get them placed correctly.

Hi,
I wonder if it's related to the multilingual capability of BPM Object presentations.
Could you:
1. right mouse click the project in the Project Navigator tab.
2. click "Project Preferences"
3. click "Languages"
Do you see multiple languages? Is English (or whatever language you're using inside Studio) the default?
When you log into the WorkSpace, could you double check the language you are using (log in -> click "Settings" in the upper right corner) -> with the "Display" tab selected, is the language you chose as the default in Studio selected?
I suspect the reason you see some but not all of the labels is because you have defined some of those labels in the language selected in the Workspace. You can add the addtional labels for the various languages you want to support if you:
1. Open a presentation
2. Click one of the labels
3. In the properties tab on the right, click the field beside the "Display" property
4. Click the button with the "..." on the right side of this field
Hope this helps,
Dan

Irony: Bridge doesn't know what to do with .pictclipping file (Mac)

Bridge 5.0.2.4 running under Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 does not know to which application to hand a ".pictclipping" file.
This type of file normally opens in the Finder, without launching any other application or utility of any kind.
However, Bridge doesn't even show a preview in The Content panel or in the Preview panel either. Double clicking on such a file within Bridge's Content panel results in Bridge launching and/or bringing to the front the TextEdit application showing a totally empty window showing the actual name of the file in its title bar but a completely blank window.
Needless to say, it's not possible to establish a file association between this kind of file and the Finder from within Bridge.
Just another example of the lack of attention and resources Adobe has shown toward its stepchild application, Bridge.
Adobe Photoshop 13.0.5 does not open such files through its Open menu item dialog either, even though it correctly detects them as a .PICT files.

The only way to see an image contained within a PictClipping in OSX 10.8.4 is in Apple's own Finder App. and it appears that you can't do anything with it once you have "found" it?! …
That's exactly as it is meant to be, Ann. An image that is lightning fast to create, lightning fast to view and utterly impossible to alter, manipulate or edit!
You can, however, copy its contents to your Clipboard after Command+A.

Clicking on it, only opens it in an empty RTF window.
Double clicking on it in all Mac OS versions I know, from Mac OS 9.x and earlier up to and including Lion 10.7.5, immediately shows the image in the Finder itself in a stretchable, floating, Finder window.
Have no knowledge of Mountain Lion (which won't run on my Mac Pro1,1 Quad) but what you describe above is exactly what happens when you double click the image in Bridge's Content panel, and that's just plain wrong behavior. The blank window is not a Finder window in that case, but a TextEdit window.

Images from other than MS Office progams can be drag-copied to the Desktop as JPEGs and MS Office images can always be Copied/Saved As to the location and format of your choice.
So I am not sure why anyone would need to make an Image PictClipping anyway?
Oh, I make pictClippings and textClippings all the time, every single day!
For example, I have a large collection of both pictClippings and textClippings containg killer tips by Photoshop luminaries like Bruce Fraser, Ann Shelbourne and Andrew Rodney, that I've created over the years—in a nanosecond each time—by simply highlighting portions of their Adobe forum posts and dragging the selection to the Desktop: instant, permanent reminders!
No application needed to open them or to copy their contents.
Another helpful use is to select text from emails giving me the registration or serial number of applications or plug-ins I buy online then save the clipping in a Reg_SerialNumbers folder for later.

However, Bridge will show only the file icon for any image-containing Clipping…
Sure, but that's just the unacceptable, unnecessary tease I'm complaining about.

You're wrong there, Ann; it's not a Finder window but a TextEdit window. Just look at your menu bar next time you invoke such a tease from within Bridge: the focus will have shifted to the TextEdit application. That's why the window will show text but not images.
Clippings are one of the GREAT features of the Mac OS that are missing in Windows, and one very important factor that attracted me to the Mac almost thirty years ago.
I am very, very surprised that you haven't discovered its usefulness after all these years, as you are one of the savviest Mac user experts I've ever run across.

Bridge doesn't open jpg and problem with PS
