Bridge or Lightroom wrecks my NEFs; How?  Why?

I cannot tell if it is happening in Bridge or Lightroom2 but I am continually getting corrupted NEFs. Suddenly the files are only icons, unusable. Usually a "-1" alternate version is being created.
What gives? The files show 0 kb content in finder
Also posted in Lightroom.
Mac OSX.4.11; bridge 3.0.0.464 CS4; LR2.1
G5 2.5 4 gb ram 70%
Also this subscribe by email NEVER works.

If you develop raw in lightroom you have to use the option 'Save metadata to file' in order to let Bridge read the changes.
Bridge is more a browser for files whilst Lightroom has a database structure of its own were it stores the settings, both applications can work together when you set the options to do so. It should also be in the manual btw :-)

  • How can I use the templates I generated in CS5 Bridge, in Lightroom 4.4?

    How can I use the templates I generated in CS5 Bridge, in Lightroom 4.4 ?
    It appears that I can not link the templates which I have been using in Bridge for some time to Lightroom 4.4.
    Is this done on purpose?
    Thanks in advance
    Doppy

    I assume these are metadata templates?
    in Bridge, apply a template to an image which has no other metadata (eg a dummy image ) and then import the image into Lightroom, ensuring no metadata applied in the Import dialog. Now in Lightroom's Metadata panel, save the metadata as a new Metadata Preset.
    Repeat for each template.

  • How can I access my cloud files from Adobe Bridge or Lightroom?

    Since we still do not have the ability to share folders or perform a sync with ACC I'm betting this question is not answerable, but I'm hopeful. It would be really great if Bridge, and I'll use Lightroom if I must, could access the files within the Adobe Creative Cloud. OK, I understand that sync isn't going to happen, that the cloud is not meant to be sharing or collaborative in nature but rather a tool allow you to send a single file to another Cloud user to get their comments or have them download a JPG. OK, that's fine, a VW is never going to be a Cadillac, but is it possible to modify Adobe Bridge or even Lightroom to look in the users Creative Cloud folders and display thumbnails of the images? This way the user can see a file he wants to work on, allow Bridge or Lightroom to export the file to his PC, open it, work on it and save it. Is any of this even possible today?

    Which OS do you have? In case of using Mac OS X 10.7 and later or using Windows 7 (maybe working on Vista too, but tested on Win7), Adobe CloudConnection is out now. If you use Snow Leopard 10.6.8, like I do, you have a problem xDD

  • I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

    I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom  export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
    I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
    Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
    Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
    Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
    Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
    This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
    Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
    Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
    Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
    Thanks, Marie

    Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
    In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
    The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

  • Bridge vs Lightroom - Which do you use?

    I just subscribed to Creative Cloud am am learning how to use both Bridge and Lightroom. I've been using Apple's Aperture program to organize images, but I want to see how Lightroom stacks up and perhaps switch.
    I have so many things to figure out, it's going to take a while. But one question I'd like to as on this forum is whether you, as a web designer, use Bridge or Lightroom to organize your images.
    I'm currently using Aperture to organize sort of a base library of images that haven't been processed for a website. If I select one of these images (from Aperture or Lightroom), open it in Photoshop and save it for the web - as Animal.jpg, for example - then I figured I'd use Bridge to organize Animal.jpg.
    But someone on the Lightroom forum told me that would be confusing; I should use one program or the other.
    So I just wondered which program you use. I haven't yet figured out exactly how they overlap and what the pros and cons of each program are.
    Thanks.

    I use Bridge for previewing quite a bit with Photoshop.
    Use whatever works best for YOU.

  • Transitioning from Bridge to Lightroom

    I have been using Bridge and Photoshop for years, but yesterday installed Lightroom through CC.  I would like to maintain my existing naming convention and file structure for my images.  Does this involve anything other than importing my existing files into the Lightroom catalog?  Thereafter, can I continue to import images from my memory card into my existing file structure with them appearing both in Lightroom and Bridge correctly named and filed?  Does it matter whether I use Bridge or Lightroom to import my images from a memory card?  Thanks.

    Anything you do in Bridge before the photos are imported into LR will be read by Lightroom and used properly.
    Then, after importing a photo into Lightroom, you go back into Bridge and perform an edit on this same photo, and Lightroom doesn't know about it. The situation is easy to rectify, by again, why are we talking about using both programs? You are only setting up the opportunity for confusion and extra work, and the probability that your edits and metadata will be out of sync, where one program has one set of edits and the other program has a different set of edits!
    As far as the disadvantages to automatically writing to xmp, I would say they are minor, but others disagree and I'd probably want to let those individuals speak for themselves. In the Lightroom forum (not the Lightroom for Beginners forum), Rob Cole has spoken many times about why he doesn't like this option. You should probably search for his comments.

  • Importing stacks from Bridge to Lightroom

    Hi all. I am looking to convert and import my photos from Adobe Bridge to Lightroom. In doing so however I haven't been able to maintain the stacks that I've created in Bridge (i.e. have the stacks show in Lightroom). Is this simply not possible? Can I get Lightroom to import the Bridge catalogue information some how?

    There's really no benefit to using two different photo management programs, Bridge and Lightroom. Furthermore, if you are using Lightroom, you ought NOT to be moving or rating or managing your photos in Bridge in any way. Lightroom is not a file browser, it does not know when you move photos in another program.
    You assign stars in Lightroom; you manage/organize photos in Lightroom preferably by assigning keywords and other metadata, but if you absolutely must move them to a different folder (which I don't recommend), you do that in Lightroom too. Specifically in this case, the Filter Bar in Lightroom allows you to find any photos with a specified number of stars (for example, all 5 star photos) without you actually having to move them to a different folder.
    To fix the existing problem, each photo that has been moved has either a question-mark icon or an exclamation point icon. The way you fix the problem is to point at the question-mark or exclamation point icon and then a dialog box will ask you to find the photo in your folder hierarchy. More details are here: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Moving from Bridge to Lightroom, when adding existing files on hard drive, will metadata transfer? Should I choose embed sidecar in file handling or will it automatically happen if I choose standard?

    Moving from Bridge to Lightroom. Will metadata in existing files be recognized by Lightroom, and should I select embed+sidecar when adding files to library for the first time.

    Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.
    CHRIS - you are exactly right about my FUTURE workflow. What I'm trying to figure out now is how to best handle images already processed. My import should be OK based on the way I have duplicates in separate directories, BUT I'm wondering how to avoid seeing all of these duplicates in LR when I search by keyword, etc.? I guess I can somehow flag the RAW files and only get them in my results.
    One question though - Stacks, etc. sounds great for the LR processed images. But what about variations based on processing in Photoshop after the LR Develop stage? I guess in this case I will just have to keep duplicate images if I have multiple versions from my PS work?
    ISAAC - Thanks for clarifying that LR will recognize my XMP files from Bridge. What about the opposite direction . . . if I edit something in LR and capture this via XMP, it won't prohibit Bridge from recognizing XMP info if I access a file via Bridge, will it?
    ALSO - Do you know where I can find info about tracking via XMP vs. the central database? You mentioned a couple of valid points, but I'm not sure I have a full handle on the pros/cons of these options.
    Thanks!

  • Bridge to Lightroom Conversion

    I have been using bridge and recently bought Lightroom, I am confused about a couple of things:
    1. Bridge is set up to auto import the RAW images when it sees the camera, how to I switch it off and set up LR to do the job and leave the files as raw , adobe 1998, 16 bit.
    2. The Raw files that I have already imported into Bridge have generated a sidecard xml, how will LR room handle this when I import those files.
    Thx

    Anthony-
    First, in your LR Preferences (Edit>Preferences>Import), check the Show import dialog preference.
    Then, when you plug in a camera/card, you should have a choice of what app to use to import, and a choice to use that app by default.
    With RAW files you import from you hard drive with XMP files you select the files after importing them and from LR's Library module choose Metadata/Read metadata from file.
    Hope that helps!
    Tony

  • As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version.  How can change it back to the laptop version?

    As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version.  How can change it back to the laptop version 5.7?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    LR on your laptop is still a desktop version.  It is just now able to upload to the cloud to replicate photos to either http://lightroom.adobe.com/ or an iPad that has LR Mobile installed.
    I think you probably just want to change the LR 5 identity plate back so it doesn’t mention LR Mobile all the time.  Hover over the identity-plate area, and click on the little triangle that appears, then choose Change Identity Plate.

  • I have a new Sony alpha 77ii.  My PS version is 5.0.  When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files.  How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

    I have a new  Sony alpha 77ii.  My PS version is 5.0.  When I open the files with Bridge they are .ARW files.  How do I convert them to JPEG's or something I can view and edit?

    You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
    Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

  • Should I reinstall Lightroom and if so, how do I not lose my work?

    I have Windows 8 and Lightroom 5.7 installed on my desktop.  Every since I did the last update, Lightroom has been acting really weird. I often get a "Lightroom Not Responding"  message, or it will take for ever to do something like move from library to develop module.  I have been going through and deleting files and have moved folders with in Lightroom, but I would think that should not be an issue. This has been going on for about a month now after the last update.  Yesterday I moved my pictures from my desktop to an external drive through lightroom and then did a catalog backup..  Later in the day after a photo shoot, I tried to import pictures, to that external drive and it just stopped in the middle of the process.  I checked to see if the pictures were in the designated folder and they were.  So I closed Lightroom and opened it again 6 pictures had a white box with lines through them taking up the bottom quarter of the picture.  If I look at these pictures through another program, they appear fine.  Should I reinstall Lightroom? If so, how do I save my work?  Could my catalog (which I have backed up) be corrupt?
    I have more work to be done, but I don't want to proceed if I am working with an unstable program.

    Uninstalling LR does not delete the catalog which is in an entirely different place, not the Programs folder. I am not saying that removing and reinstalling LR will solve your problem, but you don't need to worry about losing your work. If you reinstall, the first time you launch LR it may create a new empty catalog. Just use File/Open Recent to open your old catalog.

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
