Bridge preview delays, cs4

Even in high quality always, I see a short delay when clicking on previews. Did no experience this in previous versions of Bridge. Anyone know what's going on? thanks.

In CS4 there is a tremendous load on the video card. Might try using Quick Thumbnails rather than high quality. Perhaps disable open GL?

After effects & Adobe Bridge preview Issue *freezing*

Hello all,
I wanted to begin learning After Effects CS4, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS4 is halting my education.
If I explore any kind of After effects CS4 preset, and preview it inside of Adobe bridge, my pc freezes. The preview window, within Bridge CS4 turns blank white while it freezes,
the Windows toolbar of Adobe bridge, says not responding temporarily, if a wait a little while around 30-45 seconds I regain control of my pc again, the preview box occasionally will show a still image and sometimes it will stay white or flicker. If I do wait the 30-45 seconds the toolbar window no longer says 'not responding' I can click to a (non) After effects preset folder, (for example) 'My family pictures' and it will operate normally but if I go back to the After effects CS4 presets again the freezing will occur once more.
What I find strange is that Adobe Bridge previewing, works absolutely fine for my photoshop documents, Illustrator documents, and any Jpeg photos I have, all after effect presets fail to preview, regardless of type if it's a still shape background or animated sprite, the same freeze issue occurs
I was wondering if anyone has helpful tips?
so far I have downloaded all important driver updates for my graphics card, my card is a nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 256, I have also reinstalled bridge and AfterEffects, I have downloaded all the relevent players.
I am a Windows vista user, also I have enough RAM I believe, just over 3 Giga
I dont know how useful the info is on my Pc spec is, but I thought it could be worth mentioning.
I have looked for a few hours to find some kind of thread with a similar problem I have been unsuccessful, I hope someone can help
Kindest regards Julian

Hi Curt y,
I do have the latest Quicktime player installed, I would'nt have have thought that would halt me previewing CS4 after effect still shapes and backgrounds? but.. I'm not to sure if I'm honest.
well I tried uninstalling and reinstalled my player still no sucess sadly.
do you know roughly what date all these old threads popped up?
I'm going to scavenge for them anyway in the the hope I find something useful. *must be positive*
thank you Curt y, for giving me some of your time.
regards Julian

Bridge preview does not match thumbnails

We've just updated the OS, and had to re-install Bridge and Photoshop (CS4). Unfortunately, the preview doesn't match the thumbnail in Bridge, nor does it match the file when I open it in Photoshop. As far as I am aware, they are both set to the same color space. I have also toggled the "Apply auto tone adjustments" box on and off in preferences, and it seems to make no difference.
This seems to be a new problem that has only occured since upgrading the OS.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This seems to be a new problem that has only occured since upgrading the OS.
Have you already tried to use the purge cache option? Go to the menu tools /
cache/ purge cache for folder and see if it solves your problem.

Why are my Bridge previews so tiny?

Can anyone tell me why my Bridge previews are so tiny for vectors? My preview won't go any larger than a thumbnail size. When I use the zoom tool over the preview, the magnified preview box is so pixelated I can't even make anything out. I am using Adobe Bridge CS4 on Windows 7 (64 bit). All Bridge settings are currently default. The issue is only with vector images - raster images scale to full size without the pixelation. I have already tried uninstalling my adobe products and reinstalling, but it didn't change anything.
I attached a full resolution thumbnail (on a 1440x900 screen) in case anyone wants to see exactly what I'm talking about. The preview pane on the far left is as large as the image will scale. The images are default illustrator sample files, and I've seen the same images scaled in bridge at full size in tutorial videos which didn't seem to require any special configuration to make work.

What would defragmenting the TDMS file afterwards mean for the file size?

Can't view Camera RAW files in Bridge or Photoshop CS4 after upgrading to Mac Mavericks X OS.

After upgrading my Mac operating system to Mavericks X I can no longer view Camera RAW images on either Bridge or Photoshop CS4!
I'd already fixed the issue of not even being able to launch Photoshop by installing Apple's Java applet, but this doesn't seem to have helped with the Camera RAW situation.
I've tried invoking "Update" in both Bridge and Photoshop, and both indicate there are no updates.
I even went to Adobe's Camera RAW area, and downloaded and installed the Camera RAW plugin specifically for my cameras (Canon 5D Mk ii) and Photoshop CS4, and that hasn't helped at all!
I feel that it's just another silly Java applet, but I haven't any idea how to proceed from here!
HELP!
Thank you,
Bob

Did you download and install the camera raw 5.7 update?

There are also other updates you should install, such as 11.0.2 for photoshop and the bridge output module update, if you need them.

Image Colors Change in Bridge Preview Window

I edited some images first in Camera Raw and then Photoshop (CS5), all working in sRGB color space, and saved them as JPEGs. If I select one of these images in the Bridge content pane, minimize the Bridge window, then maximize the Bridge window, the image appears correctly in the Bridge content pane but the colors are incorrect in the Bridge preview pane. If I resize the view in the content pane, the image colors in the preview pane get corrected within a couple seconds. Likewise, if I click on another image and then back, the image colors are correct in the preview pane, but if I again minimize then maximize the Bridge window, the image colors in the preview pane are incorrect again.
Windows Explorer displays the image colors correctly. ZoomBrowserEX (browser software provided with Canon camera) displays the same image (same file) with incorrect colors. When I upload these JPEGs to my web photohosting site (PictureTrail), the images appear there with incorrect colors. That is where this issue becomes most problematic because with the colors being off, the images are useless for posting to online forums or classifieds.
It seems that the color in the JPEG is being read differently by different software, and is even being read differently under different circumstances within Photoshop (Bridge). Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change? Or some other issue? Thanks.....

I have a fair understanding of color profiles and color management. My monitor is a Dell UltraSharp U3011 set to the factory-calibrated sRGB display mode.
What makes me certain that this is not a simple matter of different color management in different applications is that Bridge is displaying the same JPEG file/image in two panes on the screen simultaneously and the colors do not match. Furthermore, the incorrect colors in the preview pane image change to the correct colors if I resize the thumbnails in the content pane, or click on another image and then back; and the colors in the preview pane go back to incorrect if I minimize then maximize the Bridge window. Seems to me that there must be something within that JPEG that is being interpreted differently in different circumstances that results in the "two versions" displayed within the same application (Bridge) on the same screen at the same time, and that other apps are interpreting one way or the other.

Exploring a bit further, I've realized that the same color display issue exists with the original JPEGs from my camera (Canon T1i, shooting in sRGB color space). So it seems the issue did not originate with settings etc. in Photoshop.... but Photoshop (Bridge) IS displaying "two versions" on same screen at same time, and so must be doing something different with the JPEG info in one pane vs. the other.

Nikon D800 "and" CS6 Bridge Preview

Mac Pro, 10.7.5, Adobe CS6 suite recently updated. I am encountering problem of viewing images from Nikon D800 in Bridge Preview. The image thumbnails are displayed in Content, and able to open images in Camera Raw and Photoshop. What do I need to do to view images in Preview once selected from Content? -Rob

Thanks for the tip. However the problem "corrected" itself. I think after updating, Bridge had to reset/refresh. I now see any selected images from Content in the Preview panel/window. The problem was that if clicked on image in Content, I wouldn't see anything in Preview. Thanks for that purging tip. That might come in handy.

Bridge in trial CS4 doesn't read my Canon G10 .CR2 files

One of my motivations for upgrading to CS4 is to use my canon G10 files through bridge.
I've transferred the files from the camera to my computer. I've also run them through the latest DNG converter to use with CS3 - that worked fine.
Now bridge in the CS4 trial lists the .CR2 files, but with no metadata or thumbnail. If I double click on the file, CS4 says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." The .DNG versions load without any problem.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Arthur

Thanks Don.
I had just come to that conclusion and tried to edit my post but it didn't seem to work.
My question now is, if I update to CR5.2, will that mess up CS3 (in case, for example, I don't end up keeping CS4)?

Bridge preview Problems

I am having problems with Bridge Preview. I am viewing a mp4 video file from an sdxhd camera card. When i click on the file everything looks fine, however when i click play the video streches and i cannot view it properly.

There are many wrappers for mp4 files, and I am no expert at those. It may be taken in a different format.

Please refresh my memory re: NR in Bridge previews

A major senior moment leads me to ask for help in refreshing my memory regarding the Noise Reduction applied in ACR not being reflected in the Preview panel within Bridge after clicking the Done button in ACR.
My recollection was that Noise Reduction and Sharpening applied to a raw image in ACR are not reflected, or at least not fully reflected in the Preview panel nor in the thumbnail in the Bridge Contents panel.
I've been trying to do a forum search for a post where one of the high gurus (Knoll, Chan or Schewe?) confirmed this fact in this forum, but due to the aforementioned major senior moment, I've been unable to find the right keywords for my search, so I've come up blank.
Thanks in advance.

Here's an example that illustrates what I'm referencing.
The first screen shot shows an untouched raw image of an accidental camera discharge which is alomost totally black as viewed in the Preview panel of Bridge. You can barely make faint parts of the boy's face.
The second screen shot is the Bridge preview of the image processed in ACR 7.2 after applying some massive noise reduction and clicking on Done in ACR.
The third and last screen shot shows the Bridge preview of the same image with the same ACR adjustments as number two after opening it in PSD and saving it as a PSD without altering it in any way after opening it in Photoshop, then saving it intact. That is in fact exactly how the image looks inside ACR too.
The difference in noise reduction is massive.
Obviously this whole thing is an extreme experiment I carried out only to stress-test the noise reduction in ACR 7.2C1. The shot, as I said, was an accidental camera discharge while the camera was hanging from my neck in the darkened entrance to a pizza place and the flash was off.
So here we go, as per the above explanation:
(Please click on thumbnails for larger views.)
That ACR 7.2RC1 was able to retrieve that much of the image is almost a miracle.

Bridge Previews Better in Creative Cloud? Solutions?

Hello,
We purchased CS6 instead of CC (and given the meager additions, we're glad we did!). Anyway, as more of our clients wish to interact with CC files, we're re-evaluating.
One big bummer in Bridge CS6 has been the terrible DNG previews--all images must be opened in Camera Raw to get an actual estimate of the overall appearance.
Has there been a work-around established to avoid the bad Bridge previews in CS6?
And, has this problem been "fixed by an upgrade" in CC?
thanks!

CS4 Bridge Preview stops working

While in Bridge, if I press the space bar to zoom in on an image preview, the image enlarges just fine to full screen, but when I press the space bar again to return to the normal preview, the normal preview window is blank. It remains blank when I click on other images too. The only way I can get the normal sized preview to return is to go to "workspace" and re-click the workspace I was already in and it seems to clear the problem up - until I want to zoom in by using the spacebar again.
Another, possibly separate, problem is when I do use the space bar to zoom in on an image, if I click to zoom in even more, sometimes (not always) it tells me the image is "not available" and it does not zoom in any closer.
Does anyone have any input on this problem?
Windows XP, 3G RAM
Thank you,
Monte

Monte,
I have noticed the same thing regarding the missing preview after returning from space bar/review mode. I have what is supposed to be a CS4/OpenGL compatible card (Nvidia 8800GT).
I suppose this is one of those things that Adobe blames on Nvidia and Nvidia blames on Adobe.
I have found a relatively simple way to get the preview back though. I just minimize Bridge and then bring it back. That seems to work. In Windows, this can be done pretty easily by just clicking on Bridge in the task bar twice (once to minimize and once to bring it back).

Opening Bridge preview images in Photoshop CS4

When I click on Open to open an image previewed in Bridge, the image opens in Paint. I try to click on Open With and am given a menu of Paint (default), BullGuard (my antivirus)FS resizer and Explorer, with no means of changing those. What can I do to change this so as to open in Photoshop?

Thanks for that Curt. However, the method in the link does not work for me, but I found an answer for myself: for any others with this problem, do the following:
Bridge > preferences > file type associations > jpeg > click on arrowhead > browse > select CS4

CS4 Bridge Preview/MetaData/Keywords Panels out of window

More than not, I run the Bridge app maximized to fill my screen (2560x1600). When I came after a long break, or overnight, the window is no longer maximized. This morning it was resized to 1918x1168. The bad part about it is the Preview, Metadata, and Keywords panels (normally on right edge of window) were off the right side of the window. They are still have check marks by them in the Window menu. The Content window extended past the right side of the window (thumbnails were extending past the right side of the window, some thumbnails partially clipped by the window). I must do a Window->Workspace->Reset Workspace to get them back.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi,
i had the same problem , and thanks to the 1st post:
" I must do a Window->Workspace->Reset Workspace to get them back. "
now i have the file info panes back., at least yet

Bridge Preview quality is not sharp and is blurred compared to PSE win

I've been using a Mac for a couple of years but to date have been running PSE 4 on Windows but I migrated this to my Mac so have been running under VMWare Fusion. This has been working great and allowed me to get up to speed with Macs gradually.
Now that PSE 8 for Mac is out, I thought I'd give this a try and bite the bullet and swap over to running PSE on the Mac. So now I see that I need to use Adobe Bridge CS4 to manage my photos, keywords, collections etc, as see that there's no 'catalog' in the Bridge - no big deal.
Previously I use 'PSE 4 Win' to run a full screen slide show and sometimes connect my Mac to my plasma TV via PC VGA connector. I was always amazed at the quality of the photos on both Mac full screen and TV.
Now I getting to know Bridge slowly and love the PSE 8 for Mac, however the Full Screen Preview (or Slideshow) quality initially looks acceptable but on closer inspection and directly comparing the rendering in 'PSE4 Win' with 'Bridge MAC' the latter is more blurred on the edges and the colors look more natural in the PSE4 Win.
I have tried right clicking the photo and 'Purge cache for selection' and looked through Preferences and did try enabling software rendering, and re-started but no difference. So now I love the new software but can't ignore the poor quality rendering. PSE8 on the Mac the quality looks better than Brdige (although colors still not that natural), AFAIK know PSE8 Mac can't be used as a full screen slideshow (I can't even find a full screen option)
I running a MacBook Pro new Aluminium for Nov 2008. So just to restate both apps are Mac and Windows are running on same Macbook.
I have attached screen grabs from both (look at the edges of grass where it meets water) - these are at fit to screen resolution (which is what I'd use for a slideshow or full screen peview).
The photo is a JPEG 4.03 MB, 3840 x 2160 , res 72 ppi, application: Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0.

Thanks for the reply, setting 'monitor size previews' has helped a great deal with the sharpness (surprised this isn't the default!)
Colours are still a little different - difficult to tell which is most realistic.
I have attached a new full screen preview.
As an aside, in desparation I did try out some of photo viewing software on Mac platform in comparison. Adobe Lightroom 2, Aperture, and Picasa all render fairly simarily, however XNView renders very close to PSE4 on Windows platform - in terms of sharpness and colours. I quite like the Bridge interface so I think, I'll stick with Bridge.

Bridge preview delays, cs4
