Bridge stops recognizing it's own .xmp files from Canon 5DMKIII

I use Bridge to add keywords to my RAW files. I use both a Canon 1D MKII and a Canon 5D MKIII camera. I use Canon's "Digital Photo Professional" (DPP) to process my RAW files because I prefer the colors (I am a picky perfectionist, so don't try and convince me to use ACR to process my RAW files!) When I make changes to my RAW files shot with the 5DMKIII in DPP and "save" the changes to the RAW files, Bridge suddenly doesn't recognize the file's associated .xmp file, and my keyword association is lost. If I simply open the file in TextEditor and re-save it, suddenly Bridge recognizes the file again. RAW images shot and processed with this same procedure from my Canon 1D MKII don't exhibit this problem.
This thread from a couple years ago is the same problem I am experiencing:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2933287#2933287
Is there any other solutions to this? I shoot several thousand images per weekend, and opening each file in TextEdit and saving is NOT an option!
Please help!
P.S., I'm using Bridge CS5.1 v 4.1.0.54

Birds of a feather you and I, except that (with the help of a very nice forum member here) I have actually managed to get the same color out of Camera Raw that I get from Canon, so that is now my default in Camera Raw.  Unfortunately, we created a profile for a different camera than you have (I use a 40D), so it is not applicable for you.  But I just wanted to comment to say that I know EXACTLY how you feel. 
Sorry, I don't have much to offer re: help for your .xmp issue.

  • Bridge doesn't recognize its own .xmp files

    Using Bridge CS3 on Mac OS 10.5.8. I edit RAW (.nef) files in ACR. When I click done, save, or open image, an .xmp sidecar file is generated and saved in the same folder as the .nef. However, changes made in ACR do not show in the preview thumbnail in Bridge, and when I re-open the file in ACR, my changes are lost. The .xmp file is still there, it's just not applied. It's like Bridge doesn't know the .xmp file is there. The icons in Bridge indicating altered develop settings or crops do not appear after adjudstments are made. Star ratings made in Bridge remain. When this issue began, it would ignore sidecar files for some images, but not others. It is increasing in frequency, or may now be consistent. (If I open the file into Photoshop or save an image file out of ACR, the changes are applied to the developed image file, they are simply ignored by Bridge in regards to the Raw file.)
    Files that were adjusted before the problem began still synchronize with their sidecar files. Looking at the sidecar files in a text editor shows that they contain the adjustments made.
    There were no changes in any installations/updates to software or OS at the time of the problem's onset.
    I've tried using a Camera Raw database instead of sidecar files, and the changes are still lost. I've tried purging caches for Bridge and for ACR. I've tried resetting and dumping preference (.plist) files.
    Anyone have ideas on what I can do to salvage this program as my RAW library manager?

    Matthew,
    Same problem here. But I'm using CS5 in Win7.
    Bridge cannot find its XMP files. Bridge does not see its XMP files. XMP files do not work. Camera Raw settings do not show in thumbnails. ACR settings lost.
    I just now figured out the problem/solution.
    In my case, the association between CR2 files and Bridge was usurped by Canon DPP (the Canon raw converter) which I just installed this afternoon. When I installed it, there was no immediate problem. But when I started a new work session tonight, Bridge acted as if the XMP files weren't even there.
    Solution: In Windows, to set a file association, you just right-click on a file (in this case the CR2 file) and select "Open With", and then navigate to Bridge (in my case Bridge CS5). That re-establishes the link between Bridge and its own XMP files. Then simply purge your cache and let Bridge rebuild it using its XMPs (which it can now find again) to rebuild the cache with the adjustments that are stored in the XMPs.
    I don't know how to do this on a Mac, but the principle is the same.
    I hope this solves your problem.

  • Issue with RAW files from Canon 5DMKIII

    Hello,  I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 with Camera Raw 7. Photoshop  Bridge CS6 do not recognize the RAW files from the Canon 5D Mark III, any idea? Thanks in advance.

  • Issue withRAW files from Canon 5DMKIII in camera RAW 7.0

    Hello,  I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 with Camera Raw 7. Photoshop  Bridge CS6 do not recognize the RAW files from the Canon 5D Mark III, any idea? Thanks in advance.

    You need to have at least ACR 7.2 so click Help/Update.

  • After updating Bridge & PS, still unable to view CR2 files from Canon M3

    I cannot view CR2 Raw files from the Mark III on Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 to convert into TIF and JPG files for a client. I have updated all of my Adobe programs, restarted, and the files are still not showing up for me. Help please!

    Thank you for elaborating.
    Your system should absolutely be opening those files.  Any of the versions of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in) that run with Photoshop 13.0.6 can and will open those files if properly installed, that includes the current version, ACR 8.6.
    Go to About Plug-In > Camera Raw… in the Photoshop menu and see what version shows up there, just to check that the plug-in is installed correctly.  There should only be one version of ACR in the plug-in menu.
    That Canon camera model has been supported ever since ACR versions 6.7 in CS5 and 7.1 in CS6.
    If ACR only shows once in the plug-in menu and you still cannot open your file(s), then you in all probability have corrupted files.
    The fact that you can see the images in Apple's Preview means nothing, only that Preview is showing you the embedded JPEG preview embedded in the file. Such JPEG previews generally do not get corrupted even if the raw file has been corrupted.
    I hope you have the original CR2 files or good backups. 

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.

  • My raw files from Canon T5i isn't being recognized?

    I am getting this message:
    PS could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the install version of Camera Raw.
    Presently I have Photoshop 5.1 and won't read my RAW files from Canon T5i, although read my earlier Canon Rebel. Do I need to update? Which will bum me out as I just spent a lot of money for the new camera. Is there a work around to getting at my RAW files? Thanks for all your support and suggestions.

    The T5i was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is only supported in CS6 and later. There is no version of Camera Raw for CS5.x which will read T5i Raw files.
    Your options:
    Pay to upgrade to CS6
    Buy Photoshop Elements 13
    Join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Free option: download the free Adobe  DNG converter, convert all T5i Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

  • When will Elements11 support CR2 files from Canon 70D  ? Or is an upgrade necessary ?

    As it is now RAW files from Canon 70D is not recognized by Elements 11. And Adobe don't ship any upgrade, only to Lightroom and PCC/Bridge. Is there a workaround ?

    PSE 11 will not be upgraded to support this camera. You need either:
    Purchase PSE12 or PSE13 ... or ...
    Download and install and use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.2 or later, convert your RAWs to DNG and then import the DNGs into PSE 11

  • Aperture 3.0 not importing RAW files from Canon T1i

    I have recently upgraded to Aperture 3.0. I shoot with Canon T1i in RAW+JPG file size. When importing files from Canon T1i for the first time to Aperture 3.0, I found that all files imported as jpg not RAW. How do I get the RAW files? Help!!!
    Anjali

    It does support Canon T1i RAW mode. In the "Import Settings", there's a section for "RAW+JPEG Pairs". If you don't see this, click the "Import Settings" pulldown menu and select it.
    In the "RAW+JPEG Pairs" section, there's a pulldown menu to allow you to select "Both (RAW as Master)"
    It'll use the JPEG as the "Preview" image, but it will use the RAW as the master for all adjustments you want to perform.
    Prior to the import, you should see both the JPEG and RAW (.CR2) files. AFTER the import, you should only see the RAW in your project (it has the JPEG... but it wont normally display it because it knows the RAW is the master.) After the import, select any photo in your project, then click the "metadata" tab on the left. At the top it should give you the camera, lens, exposure info, etc. and you should see the "RAW" icon.

  • Lightroom 4.  dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.

    I have purchased lightroom 4. It dose not handle RAW files from canon 5D MK 111.
    I have downloaded and ran the suggested file from Adobe, but still no luck.
    Anyone have the answer?

    The initial release of Lightroom 4 doesn't handle the 5d mk 3 files because of when the camera was released.  You can either wait for the 4.1 release, or you can download the 4.1 Release Candidate 2 at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4-1/.
    Technically you can also download Adobe's DNG converter, but that just adds another program to the situation.
