Bridge Help | What's new in Adobe Bridge CC

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/whats-new.html

Dear Adobe, Please add the Export panel back to Bridge!  The ability create presets to batch save RAW files to JPEG in a specified size was/is critical to my workflow.  I like that I could just drag/drop the files to my custom "Save to Hard Drive" preset, click one button, and Bridge would process and save any number of files in the background.  I can't believe the official solution is for users to go to Lightroom to export photos they are already managing in Bridge/Photoshop.  If I'm using Bridge, it's because I prefer it to Lightroom.   What about the users who don't even have access to Lightroom? What are they supposed to do (besides buy and learn Lightroom)?  I just can't understand why when I am spending $50/month for this software, Adobe is removing more features than it's adding?

  • Bridge Help | Work with metadata in Adobe Bridge

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/metadata-adobe-bridge.html

    Might check this past post to see if you have ownership of your HD.
    The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
    If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
    The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
    First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
    Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
    Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
    Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
    Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
    Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
    Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
    I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
    On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

  • New iPhone5; Adobe Bridge CS5.1 hangs

    I am attempting to download photos and videos from my new iPhone5 with Bridge.   It gets along reasonably far, but mid way through it hangs.
    This is on Windows7.   The version of Adobe Bridge is up to date, it is version 4.1.0.54.
    I suppose it could just as easily (and potentially more likely) be a bug in the iPhone5 Windows drivers.
    Does anyone have a workaround using Bridge?
    Thanks

    It's probably nothing to do with Bridge. I'd look more at your hardware, BIOS (and maybe USB drivers) for solutions.

  • Help with XMP Panels in Adobe BRidge

    Hi All
    I'm trying to create a XMP Panel for Adobe Bridge, and I'm having a weird problem I'm hoping someone can answer.
    The Panel is created, and works, I can change a metadata field and the metadta field gets saved correctly.
    However, I need to change one of the metadata fields in code, and although it's changing thee text within the field, when I close the panel it doesn't update the metadata.
    Here's a code sippet:
    First the form Items:
    <fi:XMPFormItem
                                  id="ftitle"
                                  label="$$$/xmp/sdk/custompanels/Dave3/Title=Document Title:"
                                  labelTooltip="$$$/xmp/sdk/custompanels/Dave3/TitleToolTip=The title of the document, or the name given to the resource. Typically, it will be a name by which the resource is formally known.">
      <fi:XMPTextInput id="docTitle"
                                                                 xmpPath="dc:title"
                                                                 xmpType="Localized"
                                                                 change="changeMe(event)"/>
      </fi:XMPFormItem>
      <mx:FormItem label="Change Title">
                        <mx:Button label="Digital"
                                               click="updateTitle(url.text)"
                                               />
      </mx:FormItem>
    And here's the function that changes the text:
                                  private function updateTitle(url: String):void
                                            var st: String = "Hello Folks";
                                            docTitle.text = st;
                                            docTitle.enabled = true;
    As expected, the text in the docTitle field changes, but when I close the FIleInfo panel the changed text is not written to the file.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks in advance
    David

    Hi Gary:
    Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion, but alas, things got wacky.
    When selected, the first panel text overflowed on top of the second accordian tab.
    When I select the second panel, the first stays open, as well as the 2nd.
    And the text for the next 4 accordian tabs gets out of wack -- they line up on the right hand of the accordian field, with multiple line breaks, rather than in a single line below each tab.
    I noticed that overflow:hidden; shows up in two places in the Accordian css file. Tried deleting one, deleting both. but still "no go".
    I feel I need to apologize to the forum. I wish I had a better handle on code. But I am actively trying to learn. Reading my book (and doing the exercises) for about an hour a day. And asking lots of questions. I hope it's OK to post these kinds of questions here, even though I'm not very advanced.
    I really do appreciate your patience! Jami

  • Bridge CC - What's News (and Valid for Final Version)?

    Hi,
    with Photoshop CC, is there any important new development about Bridge CC? I am *mainly* interested in news concerning the final shipping versions available to everybody, not any pre-release versions for insiders.
    So far, regarding Bridge i collected these news around the web:
    - new support for retina displays
    - not automatically installed with Photoshop (fact probably only valid for pre-release versions of Photoshop CC)
    - comes without Output Module (for PDF and Web galleries) (fact probably only valid for pre-release versions of Photoshop CC)
    - Export Module changed or abolished (fact probably only valid for pre-release versions of Photoshop CC)
    - no more synchronised windows
    Thanks for all substantial facts about Bridge CC!

    Thanks for all substantial facts about Bridge CC!
    To my knowledge there can't be substantial facts until Bridge CC is official released which seems to be happening in the nearby future, out of curiosity, where did you gather this info? Around the web is a bit vague

  • Digital Publishing Suite Help | What's new in this release

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/whats-new-release.html

    This v28 marks the end of the immersive feeling a Folio could offer the user. In stead of having a truly full-screen experience, there's always that iOS7 system bar in sight. At least, that's what I understand from this documentation. So there's no way to prevent users to be distracted by anything unrelated in their screen. That's a real pity !
    Some might think this is just a trivial change with eventually minor impact, but I think being able to present content over the whole screen is a crucial factor in distinguishing a Folio from other publishing formats like a web page.
    Does this requirement also affect other apps like e-readers or games ?

I had a need for drawing. I love this app. Please continue to develop it. It is amazing. I was worried because the iPad has no pressure sensitivity, but muse works around this and it is excellent. Can it be better? Absolutely, but it is great for such a young program. Please Keep developing it and promote it more. I love this app. Did I mention that I love this app. Eventually I will have samples at www.billmurphy.ca

  • Help needed!  New to Adobe Designer

    Hello!
    I am new to Adobe Designer, so pls forgive me if this is a stupid question...I have also tried to search for the answer - but no luck...
    This is the requirement:
    - the user opens a PDF form
    - the user fills in the required fields
    - the user clicks on a SEND button
    - an alert is shown "PDF sent!"
    ==> I.e. this button should send the PDF form to a pre-defined e-mail address in the BACKGROUND. The user should not see the e-mail, nor be able to edit it. I.e. we are looking for a way to send the PDF to an e-mail address without being dependant on whether the user has an e-mai client or not. The receiver should see an e-mail in his inbox with the PDF form attached to it and a standard text.
    Is this possible to achieve? What is required?
    I appreciate all suggestions!
    Kind regards,
    Crister

    > this button should send the PDF form to a pre-defined e-mail address in the BACKGROUND
    This would not only be a HUGE security hole if this were allowed (you can have any PDF form out there e-mailing any information it wants to any address without you even knowing it) but it would also require Acrobat to handle SMTP transfers to a mail sever.
    The solution of allowing the OS-defined default mail client to handle this solves both problems. Aandi's option is what you would have to do - submit the data via webservice and have your remote server e-mail out the data.

  • What is equiv to Adobe Bridge Import in iPhoto

    I have migrated all my photos (over 20,000) from PC to Mac and have taken the plunge. I used to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 in Windows and used the Organizer to import my media cards. When I did that, it would layout the pictures in a directory called "2009 05 30" for the photos taken today, for example. I would then tag then in Adobe for later searches. I would also use Picasa for a simple method of access and organization.
    In addition, I would make a DVD disk of all the images for a time period and store that offsite. That disk contains the originals of my photos - I would manually fill up the DVD and write the time range and photo number range on each one.
    So, now my questions.
    1. How can I import photos to a similar directory structure instead of into the central iPhoto library?
    2. If I cannot import like that, how can I easily burn a DVD of all images imported since a certain date, or image number.
    3. Or should I use the Canon EOS Utility to import the card to a directory structure, then import from disk in iPhoto.
    I know the "best practice" in this forum is to let iPhoto manage the entire library, but then my library would be tens of gigabytes in size and would not be easy to backup to to a single medium. (Unless I back up to another hard drive and save that offsite).
    Curious what others do. I am playing with Aperture, Lightroom and will also try Elements 6.0 for Mac and see what meets my needs.
    Thank you.
    Jeff

    1. How can I import photos to a similar directory structure instead of into the central iPhoto library?
    Use Image Capture - or any other app you prefer - to move the files from your Camera card to your preferred Location. Then run a Referenced Library: Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    As you have read we strongly recommend against this method - especially for inexperienced users:
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    2. If I cannot import like that, how can I easily burn a DVD of all images imported since a certain date, or image number.
    Easy: Select the Event/Album or files that you wish to back up: then File -> Export, Kind: Original. Export to a folder on the desktop and burn that.
    Backing up to another HD is actually the best way to go. DVD's rot over time. HD's are inexpensive, dynamic and very easy to use.
    My back up strategy:
    My Library lives on my iMac.
    It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
    It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected. For this job I use DejaVu because it makes a simple back up that is clear and can be tested easily without doing an full restore.
    I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
    My Photos are backed up online. Personally I use SmugMug but there are many options including flickr. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size, or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you will need to pay.
    Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a restore.
    Aperture and Lightroom are much more powerful apps that iPhoto - and a touch more expensive too . Elements has no organising capability on the Mac. For that it comes with Bridge. Some people like Bridge. Never met one, but some do.
