Bridge preference

Clicking on a file in bridge opens it in preview. I want it to open in photoshop cc.

I am setting up preferences in Bridge to open up JPEG's in camera raw, as well as raw images.
Maybe you should post in the Bridge Forum.

  • Bridge preferences keep resetting.  Please help!

    This is SO frustrating!  I just upgraded to CS4 and my Bridge preferences keep resetting back to factory defaults.  I have reinstalled the entire CS4 and I have also restarted Bridge holding down the option key and still nothing.  I have also repaired disk permissions upon suggestion from Adobe Support.
    Does anyone have any tips on what to do?
    Furthermore, also, in Camera Raw my settings don't take either.  In previous versions of ACR all I had to do was click the option once and everything in ACR would come up the same in subsequent openings.  For example...ACR pops up in a very small window, in CS3 you could click the "full screen" option and each time you opened ACR, it would open full screen.  Now every time I open ACR, it opens small and I have to click the screen larger.  Very tedious.  Same with changing the colorspace under each image...previously I had set it to sRGB and it would stick, however, now with CS4 every time I change it, it reverts back to Adobe 1998. Ugh.
    Can anyone help?  I have been on the phone for hours with Adobe support and everyone seems to lead me on a wild goose chase with no results.
    I am running Mac OS 10.5.8.
    Thank you!

    The easiest way I can think of is to use your original install disk for
    OSX10.5 and choose the option to archive and install a new system.
    The Archive and Install option makes a copy of your old library and creates
    a fresh new one leaving all the other existing files intact.
    However, to be sure first make a back up of all your important files from
    your user account (including the Document, pictures, music movie etc
    folders) if you not already have done so (something you should have... )
    First of all use the Adobe uninstaller to uninstall you CS4 copy (it should
    be in the utilities folder)
    Then run the Archive and Install option from the install disk. You should
    start up from this disk otherwise it won't work. When finished restart OSX
    and use software update to get the latest version of OSX 10.5
    Reinstall CS4 and try again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Bridge preferences to open PSElements, not Photoshop

    I have Photoshop CS4 and PS8 installed. I want Bridge to open PSE8 only.
    Is there a way to change these preferences?

    Don't know if you have Bridge for elements or for PS itself installed but In
    Bridge PS you have two options to open files in PSE8.
    First use right mouse click (or cmd + click) and in the dropdown menu choose
    open with - and then search for PSE in the list that appears.
    Second go to bridge preferences and look in the list for file type
    associations. Inhere choose the file types you want to open in PSE, for
    example jpeg or tiff and click on the application that shows right next to
    this type. Again you get a drop down menu and inhere you should be able to
    change to open with PSE. With this last method you will open the files every
    time with PSE until you change it back to another application so this will
    probably be your choice.

  • Confused by a Bridge Preference in camera raw

    Hello,
    I am setting up preferences in Bridge to open up JPEG's in camera raw, as well as raw images.
    There are 2 sets of preferences in Bridge-regular preferences and camera raw preferences.
    I understand the camera raw preferences, where I can have it disable Tiffs, but open all jpegs or jpegs that have been processed in camera raw.
    However, in the regular Bridge Preferences-there is an option to : "Double Click edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge"  - can someone explain to me what this preferences does?
    thanks!

  • Bridge Preferences Advanced Misc: check what/why?

    Bridge>Preferences>Advanced>Misc:
    do we check those boxes, software rendering, monitor previews, for speed or quality?
    What's the trade off/sweet spot?
    Thanks !

    Software rendering is only useful when having an underpowered graphic card
    (not enough VRAM), mostly occurring when using slideshows and see incorrect
    behavior or slow rebuilding. In that case you can select this option that
    will then gain extra power from your system RAM and therefore slow down
    other processes.
    Monitor preview is very useful for same slideshow but I use it for viewing
    previews at full screen using spacebar when in content window. This setting
    speeds up this process and you will scroll faster through those full screen
    preview with this setting. However, you need to recache older files (purge
    cache) before it will be active on those, for new files it takes a little
    bit longer to build cache but you gain much profit of it

  • CS3 Bridge - Preferences crashes program

    I cant seem to open 'Preferences' in Bridge - whenever I try to, Bridge immediately closes. I dont have this problem if I select Camera Raw Preferences, nor if I select Preferences in Photoshop.
    I am using CS3 on a Mac running OS Tiger. Ive had the program installed a couple of years and never had this problem before.
    Pls note, Im not very tech savvy so would appreciate any/all suggestions!
    Thanks, Willow

    Whenever Bridge behaves other then before first thing to try is restart
    Bridge while pressing the option (alt) key and choose refresh preferences.
    After this set Bridge preferences and workspace again to your own wishes and
    you should be OK.
    Ive had the program installed a couple of years and never had this problem
    before.

  • Bridge preferences causes program crash

    Hi
    I'm on an intel mac running OSX 4.9.
    I use Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9
    When I try to open preferences, Bridge quits. Do I trash the preferences file? If so, what's it called and where would I find it?
    Will that affect my star ratings?
    Thanks,

    No, those are in the cache.

  • Copy Bridge Preferences to another computer

    In the past, when administering all our work computers, I was able to copy the Adobe Bridge plist file to additional computers (or user accounts on a single computer) once I had one station set up the way I wanted, so that all our computers were set up with the same settings. This doesn't appear to be working in Bridge CC. For instance, if I change the Color Theme in the General preference screen and then copy the plist file to another computer it doesn't "take" on the second computer. I have checked to make sure I have read/write access to the plist file after copying it.  Am I missing something?

    Same problem here. Did you resolve this issue?

  • Bridge Preferences not remembered

    I am running CS3 with 64 bit Vista. I have had all kinds of problems. the one that I have not been able to find a solution for is that, when I change preferences in bridge to what I want it is not remember. The next time I launch bridge the preferences are in the default mode. Where are the preferences for bridge stored? Has anyone else had this problem?
    I have tried the cache delete it make no difference

    There have been quite a few posts on this subject, not sure if any answers were posted. Scan down the posts and check them out.
    There was one that did state that if you use the default color rating system it works, for some systems changing it will not stay.

  • Bridge Preferences issue

    Ive just starting using a different machine for my editing. Part of culling is that in Bridge I click "delete" on a file but it doesn't delete it - it just changes the rating to "reject". Not on this one...if I click delete the pic just goes, not even into thrash, but just dissapears which is really annoying as sometimes I "unreject". Any idea where to change this, I've looked and looked but no joy? Thanks

  • Can I save my preferences in Bridge CS4?

    I regularly back up my Photoshop CS4 preferences file (Adobe Photoshop X64 CS4 Prefs.psp). That way, if I have to trash my current prefs because Photoshop has gone haywire, I can simply copy the last good backup to the [Users...] folder, and I don't have to change absolutely everything to the way I like it.
    Is there a way of saving Bridge Prefs files? I need to reset my Bridge prefs every couple of weeks, when the Tools, Photoshop... menu item disappears, and it takes a bit of time to rearrange my workspaces, and especially to set up my Favorites list. I'd really love to know a way of saving the Favorites list for reinstallation. Is there a registry key I could save?
    Mary

    Hi John
    I'd already tried saving the stuff in C:\Users\Username\roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4 (in Windows 7, same location as Vista64) and copying it back after  resetting Bridge prefs - trying the files one by one to see the effect. None of them did what I wanted: to restore my Favorites, and things like my highlight color, my customized workspaces, etc.
    Last night I trawled through the Registry and found the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Preferences. It was all there - highlight color, favorites list, etc. I looked at each value, comparing with Bridge in my laptop, which still has its 'Tools, Photoshop' menu item.
    I found the value 'DisabledScripts'. It read:
    GallerySheet
    VersionCue
    VersionCueSDKLoader
    AutoStacks
    photoshop
    bridge-3
    In my laptop, the 'photoshop' line wasn't there.
    I backed up the Registry in my desktop and removed the 'photoshop' line from 'DisabledScripts'. When I opened Bridge, 'Tools, Photoshop' was back.
    I lose it almost every time Bridge crashes, which it does every couple of weeks - and I do use the 'Tools, Photoshop' submenu items a good deal. So now I have a way of restoring it without spending 15 minutes to half an hour setting up my Prefs from scratch.
    I've got 2 possible strategies:
    - open the registry, where I've now saved the Bridge Preferences key as a favourite, and delete the 'photoshop' line from 'DisabledScripts', or
    - export the whole key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Preferences' when Bridge is in a fully functional state, and apply it when Bridge goes wonky.
    Either of them will take about 2 minutes - a great improvement!
    Best wishes

    When opening Bridge (CS6) I get the following message: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I tried and after selecting purge cache it does not allow me to select OK. Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.  
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:  
      Reset Preferences 
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.

  • Where Preferences for CS3 Bridge Stored?

    Where are the CS3 Bridge preferences stored OSX 10.5?
    I want to trash them.
    Is this it: User> Library> Preferences:
    com.adobe.bridge2.plist

    GB
    The plist file should be situated in the user-library - preference folder: com.adobe.bridge2.plist
    The main cache folder is in the same library in the cache folder: cache - Adobe- Bridge CS3 - Cache. If you manual trash both the plist and cache and restart bridge both files should renew them selves to fresh settings.
    However, deleting cache destroys also all prior cache so you need to rebuild again for every folder you have cached before.
    Further more it is not that easy to find a preference file, at least I don't know. There is an other place with Bridge settings in the user library under Application Support - Adobe - Bridge CS3 but not a preference folder.
    In the system library are also some Bridge settingfiles and for real mystery you should select the Bridge application Icon itself in the application folder, use right mouse click and select show package content. In here there are a whole lot of settings that I really don't know anything of, due to the fact that I'm a photographer and not a technician... :-)
    If you have now plist file you probably would be better off with a re install from the CS3 disk

  • In adobe bridge in Tools menu below the cache submenu it only says "process collections in Photoshop". It does not give me the option to "load images in layers is Photoshop"

    No tengo la opción de cargar imagenes en capas en photoshop desde adobe bridge en el menu herramientas

    If all the items do not appear, consider resetting Bridge Preferences.
    Close Bridge, hold down Command-Option-Shift (PC: Control-Alt-Shift) and then launch Bridge again. A dialog will appear asking what you want to do. Turn on the Reset Preferences checkbox and click OK. Now when Bridge appears, the preferences are factory-fresh.
