Bridge failing to load photo into PSE on mac preview only

Anyone have any ideas of why most of the time importing photos into a PSE file works but occasionally it only opens the photo in preview on my macbook?

I don't really follow you, but do you mean that double clicking a file in bridge usually opens the file in PSE but sometimes in Preview instead? Check your bridge>preferences>file type associations to see if you have any formats set to go to Preview instead. For instance, you may have told bridge to send jpegs to PSE, but PNG files to Preview.

  • Trying to load actions into PSE 10, Adobe is missing....

    I am trying to load actions into PSE 10. Following the instructions given, I go to Mac HD/Library/Application support/....next step should be Adobe but it is missing. Any ideas? Thanks!!

    Okay, you can do this, but it's going to be more complicated than if you had the regular version. All file paths are different in the app store version, since apple requires that everything be contained within the app package itself for app store programs. Start by right-clicking the actual editor application>Show Package Contents>Contents>Application Data>Photoshop Elements>10.0>Photo Creations and you should see photo effects, which I presume is the folder you're looking for. If you want to install in the actions player, it would be  Contents>Application Data>Photoshop Elements>10.0>Locale>en_US (or your location)>Workflow Panels>Actions.
    In either path, when you try to put the file into the folder you will get a message that it can't be modified. Click Authenticate and give it your OS X account password and you will be able to put the action into the folder.
    Edit: Oh, and mediaDatabase.db3 is in the Locale >en_US (or equivalent) folder.

  • Scan photos into PSE 9

    I am quite and amateur to PSE9 and want to successfully scan photos into PSE for editing.  Anyone have a step by step resource I should follow?  Thanks.
    Rcre

    I have an iMac with OS 10.6.6 and a Canon Pixma MP970. I tried that process of moving the Twain plugin over. The scanner did show up in the File>import menu, but every time I chose the MP970 PSE9 would crash. I tried choosing MP970 Series Network and it would not recognize the scanner. Tried quitting and restarting PSE9, then tried restarting the computer. Same results. Any help would be appreciated.

  • How do I load photo's from a mac running OS X10.4 to my IPad 3?

    How do I load photo's from my Mac running OS X 10.4 to my IPad 3?

    Get an SD card, an SD card reader for your mac, and get the SD card reader adapter (camera connection kit) for the iPad. You can then upload your photos from the Mac to the SD card using the card reader. Then plug in the SD card reader adapter for the iPad and stick your SD card into it. You can then upload the photos to your iPad.
    You want a camera connection kit (for ipad); you can get it on the apple store.

  • Loader/DNG Converter won't close after loading photos into Bridge

    This is a very recent problem. Previously, after loading photos the loader would close, Bridge would open at the folder I created through the loader and that was it. Now after all shot are loaded, Bridge opens at the last folder I had open previously and the loader remains open. Clicking on the X box won't close it. I have to go into Task Manager to do this. I tried a full re-install to no avail. I've looked at preferences and don't see anything that helps.
    I haven't done anything other than what I noted above. I tried re-installing PhotoShop and Bridge and that didn't fix the problem. The only other thing that has happened since I noticed this problem was that Windows updates automatically installed. I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3. The problem is not a show stopper but it is annoying.
    Anybody have any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it?

    OK, I tried changing the Preference by opening Bridge with the Ctrl key held down but I wasn't presented with the popup noted.
    However -- D'OH! -- last night when I inserted my card into the reader and the dialog came up asking what I wanted to use to open I noticed that it was defaulting to Bridge CS3 (I still have some CS3 software on my machine). So I scrolled down, found Bridge CS4 and all is just fine. Thanks for the helps and tips. I do appreciate it. And I hope you can forgive my brain fart.

  • Can import photos into PSE 12 running on Win 8.1 from a Samsung Galaxy S4, but no videos recognized.

    I have about 100 photos and 10 videos on my S4 and I know they're valid because they all display/play back just fine on the device.  But Photoshop Elements 12 only recognizes the image files, none of the videos.  It tells me there are no valid videos on the device.  I'm attempting to import media with the S4 set up as a camera (this is a configuration option Samsung gives you when connecting the phone to a PC via USB).
    Update: If I set the device up as a media device, I can use Windows Explorer to copy the video files to my PC.  PSE then sees them in the watched folder, imports them, and they work fine.  So the issue seems to be in recognizing and importing the videos when the S4 is configured as a camera (the normal way of importing photos and images into PSE).

    You must have Premier Elements that recognizes Videos.  Premier Elements is sometimes sold in tandem with Photoshop Elements so that both can operate seamlessly.
    Amazon has got special price for buying both packages together.  I believe it is a difference of about $20, i.e. you pay 20 bucks more if you buy both products.

  • Adobe Bridge CC 'Tools Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' missing from menu.

    Hi,
    After updated to bridge CC the 'Tools > Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' has simply disappeared from the menu! Is there a plug in that I'm missing or is this something similar to how the Output module works, where you have to install the files manually?
    Thank You

    I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
    So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
    This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.

  • I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc..  Many of my photos are located in several folders.  When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

    I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories).  Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays."  When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog.  Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in?  I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

    By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
    The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
    I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

  • Bridge Fails to Load Thumbnails

    Bridge can not load a folder with 200 images in CR2 and jpg format. Getting answers from Adobe is worse than trying to penetrate the NSA. Anyone out there have any suggestions. I've purged cache, set the to the middle of the slider, clicked compact cache and Bridge still doesn't load the images. Color me frustrated.

    Had the same problem recently when moving Bridge CS3 (and Photoshop CS3) from the old to the new notebook PC (Windows XP). The freshly installed Bridge refused to load and to digest the thumbnails of all the image files in a folder; instead it would create thumbnails only for those images currently visible in the Content pane---and slowly so. When scrolling the pane, it would start caching a few more thumbnails but still not all of them. When scrolling back to where I was before, it would start caching the previously cached thumbnails
    i again!
    I tried resetting the preferences, purging the cache, exiting and re-launching Bridge, all to no avail. Eventually, the culprit turned out to be the .workspace file I created after installing Bridge 2.0 but before updating to Bridge 2.1.1. Deleting the .workspace file and re-adjusting the GUI's layout to my likings from scratch did the trick for me.

  • My iPhone 4s won't load photos into the iPhoto libary so I can't take any photos off of my phone. How can i get it to work?

    I really need to get the photos off my phone but it wont load onto iphoto. its using up the space in my phone and i want to keep the photos, how can i load them to my computer?? please help

    Hi, I just had the same problem with mine.  It would only turn on when plugged into wall charger but would not stay on for long when plugged in.  It also said I needed to restore and I had no wifi or cell service. I took to Verizon and they said I needed to restore but i would loose all saved data.  I did not want to loose all pics and contacts so I took to a place that repairs Iphones in my city. They took one look and said had a bad charging port.  They said they could replace it so that I could then back up all data on my computer before I had to restore.  Suprisingly to them, once they replaced the port and put a new battery in, it all worked fine again; even wifi and cell service.  The fix cost about $60.00 and I did not loose any data! I have ever posted to any online forums before but had to on this because I want people to know that they don't always have to loose all data!!!

  • Download Blackberry 10 photos into PSE 10?

    I cannot get PSE 10 to recognize my Blackberry Z10 phone as a camera or card reader when I connect to the PC with a USB cable and try to download my photos. I have tried removing the memory card from the phone and inserting it into the PC card reader, but PSE 10 then picks up all images on the card including music album covers, PDF files, etc. How do I get PSE 10 to recognize the phone as a camera or card reader?
    Browsing to the folder on the phone with "From files and folders" is not a good solution since the imported pics are not stored in the same folder scheme as when I import "From Camera or Card Reader".
    Thanks,
    Bob

    This seems like a hardware problem rather than a problem with PSE.
    The error message is often seen when Faultrep.dll, a file in the System 32 folder has become damaged or corrupt.
    It can sometimes become defective when updating a browser.
    Go to the following link and run the Microsoft drivers update to see if that helps.

  • Photoshop CS6 Bridge freezes on loading image into Photoshop

    CS6 Bridge, text in the Folder window freezes following loading of an image from Bridge into PhotosShop CS6.  Bridge is render useless.  Closing Photoshop frees up Bridge.  Bridge does not refresh the type in the folders window and occassionaly leaves partial tiles of images in the content window.  This occures esch time  an image is loaded from Bridge into Photoshop.

    Hi Jeff,
    I have the latest video drive for Win-7 64x. 
    Thank you for the tip, in searching for the driver info I discovered under "Start" > "All Programs" > "Nvidia Corporation" > "3D Vision" > "Disable 3D Vision".  By disabling the "3D Vision" in this "All Programs" menu cured the problem.  Kind of a strange place for a "switch".
    Sure hope that this helps someone else as this was a very frustrating problem!

  • Can't load photos into iphoto 6

    Have many hundreds of small Sony Mavica cd-r discs that will not import into iphoto and cannot be read by Preview. Disc is read by external Qfire cdrw drive and files are displayed on desktop but each time I try to open a .jpg photo file it states:"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt of a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." These discs work fine in a Sony Vaio but get the same results in both my new Imac and and older G5 with internal DVD drive. This same G5 connected to the Qfire drive operating on OS9.4 worked fine until I updated it to OS X 10. Any ideas as to why the discs won't open on the new IMac w/ OS X 10.4.9?

    Massbody:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As I remember from posts a while ago those discs and formats are not compatible with the Mac. Do a search fror Sony Mavica here in the Mac forums and see what you find. I don't remember if any solution was found or discussed.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I am having problems with Elements 11 loading photos into the Photomerge tool. They become distorted

    I have updated and reinstalled the software with no luck. I'm using Windows 8. Has anyone else had this problem or now how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

    Oops, sorry, should have looked at your screenshot. You can't merge those photos in group shot. Group shot is for when you're taking something like a pic of a wedding party or a school class, and you do that "and one more...and hold it!" thing so that you have two identical photos. Now in one photo someone's eyes are closed or his head is turned and you want to move just the head from one expoure to the other. It will not merge photos as different as the ones you've got.
    What you're seeing is PSE's desperate attempt to align those completely unrelated shots.

  • Loaded photo into iPhoto and wanted to make a movie

    I have 40 images, one song and wanted to make a quicktime movie and post for friends
    Made the movie, 128 mb looks nice. (480x640) now I want to share it with friends. I tried to load it to my .mac public it get to the end uploading and locks up the computer. notthing is running, cant delete it it says its in use.. I did the same thing with Small size 240x180 its still 35mb
    How can I make a movie with a song and share it
    I cant run iDvd or iMovie I'm still on G4 with 1.2 ghz
    myspace has a limit of 100mb and NO option for .mov (quicktime movie)
    help please

    There are a couple of things you can do. One is to resize it during export from iPhoto to 320 x 240, a common size used for posting. Another is to use a video editor like VisualHub to reduce the size down to something more manageable. Possibly reducing the frame rate to 15 from 29 if it's at 29. Quicktime Pro can also resize movie files.
    If you visit the iMovie or Quicktime forum you should find some more knowledgeable users in this area.
