Bridge won't open within Photoshop CS6

I have no problem opening bridge on its own, or if I right-click on an image in my folder, but if Photoshop is open and I click on the "Launch Bridge' button at the bottom, I see "Waiting for bridge to open" forever. And then if I launch bridge on its own, close Photoshop, and restart Photoshop and now click on it, it will open quickly. I don't understand why this is so. Can anyone shed any light on this pls?
Thank you

Based on the above, based on my specs if one reads my questions, the specs will matter little in answering it since, as described it will open easily and quickly in one case but not the other. […emphasis added ]

  • Image in Bridge won't open in Photoshop CS5

    When I right click on an image in Bridge and select Open it won't open in Photoshop like it used to. Why? What can I do?

    I was posting incorrectly. I have no further comments.

  • Camera Raw won't open in Photoshop CS6

    Wanting to begin using the Camera Raw plug-in for PS CS6, I find that it isn't active. (1) In Bridge CS6, the ACR icon in the top menu is grayed out; (2) after clicking a JPEG image file in Bridge, then right-clicking it, there's no option to open it in Camera Raw; (3) using Bridge's File menu, there's no Camera Raw option visible; and (4) in PS CS6, going from File > Open, then choosing "Camera Raw" in the Enable options drop-down list, each JPEG file is grayed out.
    My attempts to activate Camera Raw involve (1) downloading DNG Converter 8.7.1 and (2) attempting to download ACR 8.3…Adobe Update. That second effort failed, getting this error code: "Camera Raw 8.3(CS6) U44M2P7". I currently have AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL and AdobeCameraRawProfile7.0ALL installed on a Mac running OS10.7.6.
    I don't know what else to do. Please tell me how to activate Camera Raw using Photoshop CS6.
    Thank you very much.

    Benjamin, I thank you very much for your prompt and helpful e-reply!
    I've downloaded and installed the ACR plug-in for v. 8.7.1.311 Now, files open in Camera Raw, as expected, when using Bridge CS6. That's great.
    I have two questions, Ben:
    1 -- -- Although the first three options that I mentioned above (working from Bridge) are successful, I'm unable to open JPEGs in Camera Raw directly from Photoshop [as in option (4) above]. I'd like to be able to open JPEG files from PS; is there a preference I need to set to get PS to recognize and enable ACR?
    2 -- -- Should I now delete all files related to AdobeCameraRaw7.0ALL? Or are those files required to run with the new plug-in?
    Thank you, my friend.

  • Video frame won't open in Photoshop CS6

    I recently upgraded to CS6 and am having a problem with Photoshop.
    In my previous version (CS5.1) I could drag a single frame of video from a .mov file and drop it onto my Photoshop icon and Photoshop would open that frame as new document.
    But now in CS6 when I try to do this I get the following error:
    "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
    Why won't this work now in CS6?
    I'm on a Mac Pro, 12-core Intel with 24 gig of ram.  Everything updated and licensed.
    Thanks.

    Hi Meredith,
    I'll try attaching a little video, showing what I'm talking about.  But here's a bit more detail.
    I used to be able to open a Quicktime movie, scrub to a particular frame, and then drag that frame from the QT player onto the Photoshop icon in my dock and it would open in Photoshop as a new document.
    The document would have the name "Movie Clipping", and it would just contain that single frame.
    This worked regardless of the QT file's codec (H264, AppleProRes, Animation... etc.)
    But when I try this drag and drop from the QT player onto the CS6 Photoshop icon, it always errors.
    Hopefully this video attachment will work.  Thanks for your help.

  • Indesign CS6 won't open after Photoshop CS6.

    Indesign was working like a charm, then I had to install Photoshop which installed without error, since then whenever i launch indesign the splash screen comes up and gets as far as "setting up service registry" and then just disapears. It works with other users on the PC and I have tried creating a new profile for the user without any joy.
    The following error is in the event log:
    Faulting application name: InDesign.exe, version: 8.0.0.370, time stamp: 0x4f72c3ee

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The program has been uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem is still there. I was considering running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, and reinstalling, However from the documentation it looks as though it is for installation issue? Would it be of any help or is there a better tool to use to remove all traces of indesign from the PC/Registry? so i can reinstall?
    As This issue was caused by installing photoshop is there any mileage with uninstalling both then reinstalling them?

  • I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6

    I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6 using the File menu>Browse in Bridge. Instead, I receive an error message stating that "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system.  To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6".  Also, Mini Bridge fails to connect with Bridge CS6. Any suggestions?  I'm using Mac Operating System 10.6.8

    Hi Pragya,
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and the problem has not been solved.  The only way I am able to open Bridge is through its own application folder. Once I'm in Bridge, I can access Photoshop CS6 by going to the file menu and choosing  Open With > Photoshop CS6. Bridge seems to be able to comminicate with Photoshop CS6 but Photoshop CS6 is unable to recognize or find Bridge CS6.  Any other suggests? Thank you.

  • I had to do a system restore on my MacBook Pro. Every app opens except Photoshop CS6. I get an error message  "Could not complete your request because of a program error."

    My Mac was rebooted off the system disk. I have CS6 for Design and Web. Every other app opens. The only one that won't open is Photoshop. I tried to launch it without the preferences file, it still didn't launch. The Plug-ins folder is empty except for a folder called Panels, which is also empty. Should I uninstall and then reinstall?

    Consider resetting the Pen tool by right clicking here
    and if that doesn't solve the problem a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
    To reset Preferences:
    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
    A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.
    By the way, if "The custom shape tool is 99% of what I use!" have you considered Illustrator?

  • Bridge won't open images

    When I double click an image in Bridge, the image won't open in Photoshop. That's only one of numerous problems I am having with the Bridge that came out with PS CS3, but this has just occurred in the last day. I restarted the computer, but that doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    AFAIK, you need to open Bridge, use cmd K to access Prefs, and make sure the box that enables that double click action is checked. hth, kl

  • Bridge won´t open multiple  jpegs, claim one or more qualifying products need to be opened first.

    I´m using photoshop cs 6, and now bridge won´t open multiple jpeg´s, but claims that one or more qualifying products need to be opened first. What is this?

  • Bridge won't open-mac

    I just reinstalled CS3 and Photoshop works fine, but bridge won't open. The icon bounces and the dock indicates it is open and force quit is necessary to clear the dock below the icon but bridge won't come up. I updated when I reinstalled, btw.
    Do I need to reinstall again?

    Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, then click the boxes in the dialog box that appears.
    Routine maintenance is imperative.
    I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
    I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
    I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
    This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
    Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.

    Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
    Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
    If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
    Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
    Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
    Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
    Also, from:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
    The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
    NOTE:
    There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

  • InDesign won't open. Photoshop

  • Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

    I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
    CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
    Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
    While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4.  I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.
