Bridge switches to diff thumbnail when I correct images

I have this aggravating problem on my home mac that doesn't happen on my laptop or any macs at my work. I open a thumbnail in the RAW browser in Bridge and make adjustments, then I select "done" and it goes back to the Bridge. However, the thumbnail I just adjusted isn't selected in then content panel anymore. It automatically selects the next image. I have to wait a bit before the thumbnail of the image I just adjusted appears. Then I can hit my back arrow and reselect it. This is a real pain. On all my other machines, Bridge holds the selection on the adjusted thumbnail(s) so I can actually see each one's image change according to my adjustment.
Is there a way to set this on my machine? Anyone else had this problem? Is it a bug with my configuration? It is really annoying and inefficient. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Mac Dual 2.5 Ghz PowerPC G5, 1.5GB ram, OS 10.5.4
I am using CS3.

Whenever Bridge is starting to behave odd first thing to try is to reset
preferences, restart Bridge holding down option key, choose reset
preferences and after restarting Bridge reset the preferences again to your
wishes and try again.
I wonder if I figured this out. I bet it is the amount of RAM I have
installed. I have lots more RAM in all the other machines.
Any thoughts?

Why does Bridge blow out thumbnails when adding new images?

Using Win 7 (64b) with CS6 and Bridge 5.0.2.4 x64 (CS6). I use Bridge in my workflow to catalog and tag images. I added 7000+ older photos in various file formats, Canon CR2, TIF, JPG, and PSD to my single directory containing all shots. As Bridge created thumbnails for all newly added shots, everything was looking good but then I noticed Bridge went back and lightened many of the thumbnails by ~ 1 EV. A few images were lightened by as much 2-3 EV and unusable (non-identifiable images).
When launching the non-identifiable image in Photoshop CS6 from bridge, tonal values and exposure are just fine. The images can be edited and saved. Tried solving by deleting image from directory. then restoring it (with different filename) before restarting Bridge. In one case, it worked. The newly renamed and regenerated thumbnail was fine. In other cases, no matter what I do, the image blows out.
This is quite frustrating. Thumbnails just plain look bad. Don't have a lot more hair to pull.
Thanks for any help

Hmmm. That's not very convenient and it doesn't prevent my mistake. At the cost of a lot more typing, it can prevent other scripts from accidentally referencing or colliding with your variable names, but it doesn't prevent you from accidentally colliding with other people's variables if you leave off the object qualifier when you are typing.
When I saw a reference to namespaces in something I was reading, It thought it was more like real namespaces (e.g. C++ namespaces) where you define a scope where all declared or referenced variables are automatically in that namespace unless they are explicitly referenced/declared otherwise. Does JavaScript not have that capability?
It would be more like this:
namespace MyProgram {
var i = 3;
// lots of other code here
With a real namespace, "i" wouldn't be a global variable. It's real name/declaration would be MyProgram.i or MyProgram::i depending upon the syntax.
Does JavaScript not have real namespaces?
I get that I can explicitly declare everything to a scope of MyProgram to simulate some benefits of namespaces, but that's a lot of extra typing and, presumably a bunch of extra work for the interpreter since there's at least one extra dictionary lookup for every variable or function reference.

TA21328 Only the first three or four lines load the preview thumbnails when I Google images

Why is this happening? See all the thumbnails that fail to load. It cannot be a connection problem because if I do the same with Firefox on this MacBook Air, all the thumbnails load seamlessly. I've tried Reset Safari. I've tried Refresh and Reload. I've tried even Clear Cache (heck knows why). GGGRRR please help!

Does it help if you disable "Google Instant" in the Google Search settings?

CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail

Hi, Since buying Lightroom3 I find that I can only see a CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files. Loading Lightroom3 may just be a coincidence.
I am using Canon cameras up to 5Dmk2 and PS4 software on my iMac. I have downloaded PS 11.0.2, Bridge3.00 and Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
I have purged the cache for the folder. I have downloaded DNG converter 6.10.250 and processed the file but still cannot see the thumbnails.
Within Bridge preferences the Camera Raw Preferences is a light gray and cannot be accessed. Is this normal?
If I trash CS4 completely would I be able to reload from the original Cd and try again.
Grateful for any advice. Alex

Aperture + Adobe Bridge: does that increase amount of storage per image?

I recently installed Aperture after using Photoshop CS3 and Bridge for some years. When I import images into Aperture that have already been downloaded into Bridge, does that increase the amount of storage space I'm using and if so by how much? I am saving all files to the same folders but what about the various versions created. How much storage are they taking up. My iMac 24 w. 320 Gig is almost full so storage is important.
Also, if I start using Aperture 3 to download from my camera, do I need Bridge? Any danger in getting rid of Bridge?
Thanks,
Cliff

Cliff,
The first question is whether you want to run a Managed or Referenced library. The difference is that Managed copies and stores the images inside the Aperture Library package, where a Referenced library locates the master images in Finder somewhere.
The import procedure is done in both cases, but you use the 'Store Files' drop-down to tell Aperture where to store the master image files.
With Bridge, you were probably using 'Photo Downloader' to import the files to a selected folder, name the files using some options for format and counting, and perhaps adding basic or predefined metadata on import. This results in a Finder folder structure of your choosing (as well as file names).
With Aperture, you can do the same thing by selecting 'Choose' under the 'Store Files' drop-down (where you choose or create a new folder). Once you select a location, two other options become available; (1) to move or copy the files and, (2) to pick a sub-folder preset - or choose 'Edit' at bottom of list to design your own folder preset.
Once you have your location and folder settings selected, you can then use the 'Import Settings' drop-down to select 'Rename Files' option. This gives you a 'Version Name' drop-down in the pane which you can again select a preset or use the 'Edit' at bottom to design your own.
The items I listed would allow you to keep working like you have been with Bridge to import your images. If your current folder structure can be replicated in the Folder Naming preset dialog, then you could easily continue as you were with Aperture.
If you want to run the Managed Library, then importing your folders is possible, but you will need to decide how you want to organize the library structure when compared to your current hierarchy.
The thing to remember about Aperture is that 'Projects' are the only part that actually contain images (whether masters inside or references to masters outside). So, for example; you could use a 'Blue Folder' named 'Year 2010' and then have a 'Project' for each month under the Blue Folder. You could then make an 'Album' for day inside a month Project.
The result of the aforementioned structure would be a top level folder which then contains projects for each month (where each project is divided up using Albums). Because Projects are the only thing holding images, the albums use aliases for the various images inside that project. Clicking on a days' album would show just the images of that day, where clicking on the Project name would show all images for that month. The blue folder is just an organization tool to help control the clutter.
Before mentioning my workflow or suggesting another, I would like to compare Bridge/ACR/PS to Aperture work flow.
With Bridge, you import and organize images in a folder structure, then add metadata (keywords, personal info, etc.) You can also create collections and smart collections for quick references (which are generated by Bridge when asked, which can be a bit slow with smart collections). You then use ACR plug-in to make 'non-destructive' parameter decisions before sending to Photoshop for rendering and more specific edits and output.
With Aperture, you import into the library (where most of the processing is done on the front end for previews and database storage). You are then in a one-stop workshop where you just use the Inspector pane and toolbars to add metadata, create albums and smart albums, and add adjustments to the versions. At this point, you are set to decide on any output (using the print, image export or web/book album features).
In essence, and IMHO, you are changing from three separate programs to one program with three Inspector panes.
Workflow:
I use a managed library because I have the disc space. I also like the fact that I can copy the library package once a month (at least) to an external drive and have a full working backup which can be run from that drive or copied onto a new drive and double-clicked to load it. The downside to this approach is space. I typically shoot RAW + JPEG and import just the JPEG's to start > decide on the keepers and reject the rest > import the matching RAW's to the project. I use JPEG as Master, because they are all that is needed in many cases. I can switch to the RAW version at any time if I want something more than the JPEG can provide.
My first suggestion to you would be to create a new empty library as follows:
1 - Launch Aperture while pressing the 'Option' (Alt) key
2 - Select 'Create New' button
3 - Select a location and name the library with a unique name
This will allow you to import say a few folders (make sure to copy images, not move) and test out how you want to organize the library. You can always delete the library and start over. Look in to the File Naming and Folder Naming items under 'Aperture menu > Presets' to get a feel for the options you have and perhaps create a custom preset or two. These become options in the 'Rename Files> Version Name' and 'Store Files > Subfolder' drop-downs in the Import Pane.
Here are a few links from the online User Manual that might help clarify:
*Import folders of images*:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=4%26section=9
Pay special note to the statement under step #5: *"The top-level folder is converted to a project. If the folder you imported contains a hierarchy of subfolders and images, the subfolders appear as albums."*
That may address your importing of current image folders (or will give you a good test scenario for the empty library).
*Planning import strategy*:

*General importing files on computer*:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=4%26section=5

Okay, that should be enough for you to think about for a few. Feel free to ask more as needed. There are many here who know a lot more than I.

Larger image changed, but smaller thumbnails still show old image

Hi,
I want to change the image for my podcast. I added the new image to my server and added an image tag to my rss file pointing to it. Now in the iTunes store, the larger thumbnail shows the correct image, but the smaller thumbnails in the store show the old one. Do I just need to wait longer, or is there something else I have to do?
Feed = http://feeds.feedburner.com/walkingdeadcast
Thanks!
Jason

For some reason the thumbnails in the Search results take longer to update than the image on the Store page. They're both drawn from the same tag in your feed, so there's nothing you can do except wait: it will probably sort itself out in a day or two.
Edit: actually I just searched on your podcast title and the search results showed the same image as the main Store page.
Another edit: I assume you are talking about the Search results, not what you see when you subscribe? Those images are embedded in the media files, not referenced in the feed. I just downloaded one of the episodes on subscription and I see it has a different image. In order to change this you will have to embed new images in every episode and re-upload them - see here.

When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct the situation. I have tried this and still get this message. when I delete image

When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cash. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct this problem. I did this and still get this same message.Also now when deleting images they don't delete till I close and reopen Bridge. What can i do to fix this problem?

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.

Bridge CC stopped showing thumbnails, does not expand at triangles

Hello community
-- three days ago Bridge doesn't let me open all triangles at folder's tab anymore, sometimes more, sometimes less
-- plus when being at a folder that cannot expand anymore and Bridge should display the thumbnails of files, it doesn't build up the view
-- sometimes after quitting/relaunching Bridge I got dialog box about some loadup scripts probs and that I should try to purge the central cache at Prefs (I've done so twice, problem persists)
(no changes on my Mac OS System 10.9.5 or any CC product;, CC and CC 2014 products always updated to latest versions)
-- workaround now is to look for the files in finder, which is tedious as I cannot automate, label, etc and more annoying and therefore I would ask for immediate help: how can I open RAW files in PS without being able to select a bunch in Bridge?
bye,
beatrice

…(Still I'd be interested in to know how pictures could be opened in Camera Raw without having to select them in Bridge first)
You can open them through Photoshop > File >Open, or by double-clicking on the file icon in the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer.
But that's really what Bridge is for. Originally, Bridge was called simply Photoshop File Browser.

Bridge CS3 shows no thumbnails??

Adobe Bridge CS3 has been working fine for quite a while. I have been having
some problems with my System (C) drive, where it and Photoshop CS3 are
installed.
I swapped out the C drive, and restored an image of the drive, and most
items are working OK. But I'm guessing that Bridge may have suffered some
"corruption", prior to when the image was made.
When I open Bridge CS3, it opens normally. with the files listed on the
lower left, but there are no thumbnails visilbe for any images. Momentarily,
I did see some for one folder, but now they are all not showing anyting at
all in the thumbnail or individual window on screen.
Just for kicks, I double clicked in the middle of where the thumbnails
should be, and an image then opened in Photoshop. So they appear to be
invisible, but present.
Any suggestions here? Is repair install needed, or is there a setting
somewhere that has gotten messed up, that can be simply fixed??
Ron Hisch

Hi John, I just took a look at my settings now in Bridge CS3. That box is not currently checked, and the Bridge Cache files are no longer in the associated folders. Apparently this was not the case prior to my problems. I don't remember ever making a choice here. The centralized cache obviously makes it easier to purge when problems come up. Are there any negative aspects of using the centralized cache? What I cannot understand is how essentially all the cache information in a hundred folders in my image tree on my D drive suddenly all became corrupted at the same time. There must have been something else on the C drive that caused this. In recent days, I was in the process of replacing my C drive due to strange happenings, and restoring an image of that drive to the new drive. I would have to beleive that on C drive in a Brdige folder somewhere, there was a "master" controlling file or ?? that worked with the cache, and it got messed up. Ron "John Joslin" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. If the option to "Automatically Export Caches To Folders When Possible" is checked in Bridge Preferences (as Ron apparently did) I can't imagine that the purge can be done system wide with one click. I have always used a centralised cache, for this and other reasons.

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

Bridge Fails to Load Thumbnails

Bridge can not load a folder with 200 images in CR2 and jpg format. Getting answers from Adobe is worse than trying to penetrate the NSA. Anyone out there have any suggestions. I've purged cache, set the to the middle of the slider, clicked compact cache and Bridge still doesn't load the images. Color me frustrated.

Had the same problem recently when moving Bridge CS3 (and Photoshop CS3) from the old to the new notebook PC (Windows XP). The freshly installed Bridge refused to load and to digest the thumbnails of all the image files in a folder; instead it would create thumbnails only for those images currently visible in the Content pane---and slowly so. When scrolling the pane, it would start caching a few more thumbnails but still not all of them. When scrolling back to where I was before, it would start caching the previously cached thumbnails
i again!
I tried resetting the preferences, purging the cache, exiting and re-launching Bridge, all to no avail. Eventually, the culprit turned out to be the .workspace file I created after installing Bridge 2.0 but before updating to Bridge 2.1.1. Deleting the .workspace file and re-adjusting the GUI's layout to my likings from scratch did the trick for me.

Bridge CC converts my thumbnails from b/w to color. How can I stop that ?

In Bridge CS6 when I loaded images from my Canon camera shot in Raw but with the Monochrome pic style, it retained the thumbnails in black and white. That is perfect !
How can I stop Bridge CC from changing the Raw back to their default ?
Help please !

I tried to find a similar setting in LR 5 but could not find it. Like Yammer said, each vendor has its own interpretation of a Raw file. LR and PS/Bridge use the same ACR engine but have different user interfaces and also some different option but basically the demosaicing of the Raw data is the same for both. Only the Raw software delivered by your camera vendor can show you those in camera generated options.
With the option to use embedded previews you do lack a lot of speed and power for Bridge because it shows the camera generated previews and not the default (or your own default) setting of ACR. Also to view a HQ preview for better judgement it takes time before it has generated this preview and as you discovered yourself, loses the in camera generated settings.
And to add a personal opinion, I don't understand why you use in camera settings to create a B&W or other attempts. As Yammer pointed out, the camera generates all possible data in a raw file. Having the ability to use PS you have far more and far better options to create whatever effect you want in a far better and more controllable way using adjustment layers and masks etc., and besides that, still have the original Raw file at hand.
Just Google for a video tutorial to create a B&W in PS and you will find dozens that have stunning results. Use the camera for creating the basic data, use Bridge to sort, rate and add metadata. Use ACR for a good starting point and get wild in PS to create your end result as you would like it, don't let someone or something (your camera software) else make those decisions for you…

Bridge does not mark thumbnails with icon after file has been worked.

I use Windows Vista and process photo files in Bridge using the latest Camera Raw plug-in and Photoshop CS2. Bridge does not mark each thumbnail with a icon as it should after processing. I use the same PS program on another computer using Windows XP and Bridge does mark each thumbnail with an icon. Why will Bridge not mark each thumbnail with an icon as stated in the PS manual on my Vista computer?

I use Vista and CS3, Bridge marks my RAW files when changes are made. Check to see if you have different settings in Bridge between the 2 computers. PS is not supported by Vista Basic.

I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
