Can Bridge manage images?

I'm looking for a software that will manage over 300 to 700 gigabyte of images. Some of the file type are as follows:
jpg,
jpeg
gif
png
ai
eps
psd
tiff
Will Adobe Bridge be able to manage? I want the software to be able to search the whole 300-700GB base on file name, metadata, or date. If Adobe Bridge can't do it, what are some of the best software that will be able to handel this?
Many thanks in advance.

Bridge can do what you want, but can it do it the way you want is the question. For it to find something the files have to be indxed, and for some systems this becomes a problem, especially on folders visited infrequently. Problems can also arise with files on a network or external drive, or across different drives (not possible)..
Do you have Bridge now? Does it work for you? Since Bridge is not a standalone product it would be expensive to buy Photoshop just to do searches.
Vista can also search for files, and is quite fast if you have your files indxed with the MS system. There are also other browsers like Picasa that might work.
So depends on what you have and how you will be using it.

Can Bridge destroy images?

Hi!
I have an image which lately is being rendered very unsharp when opened in Bridge. Fortunately,
it is OK when opened in ACR. What has happened? Can Bridge destroy images? I'm scared.
The image is a Fuji Raw. Bridge that came with PS CS3 10.0.1, Mac 10.4.11.
Best regards -Hening.

If it's OK in ACR and Photoshop, then it's probably a corrupted cache in Bridge. No big deal. :)
Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge (
NOT
through Bridge preferences!).
Make absolutely sure you are updated to Bridge
2.1.1.9. Earlier versions of Bridge could indeed destroy files. But if the image opens in ACR, then it's just the cache.

Can Bridge label images in Finder?

I want the images I've selected in Bridge - sorted by Rating - to have a color label when I view them in a folder in Finder. Currently I just manually label each one in Finder with the Bridge window open. is there a better way?

Label colors are very seldom interacting with other applications, Finder is not compatible with Bridge and v.v.
If you do want to color label the files in Finder the quickest way in my opinion would be to create separate folders for this temporarily job. For instance create 5 folders, 1 folder per rating. Set those folders in the favorite panel and be sure to have them in sight.
Use the folder panel preferable under the favorite panel, you can move panels with drag and drop to create your own workspace in Bridge.
In the folder panel select the folder you have the rated files in. Then use the filter panel (again placed visible, move to desired place, you can have all three in one column e.g. at the left, next to content panel) and select 1 star to only view the 1 star rating in content panel.
Now select all in content panel and drag and drop the files to the 1 star rating folder in favorites.
Then switch to Finder and point to the 1 star rating folder. Again use select all and with right mouse click menu select the color label you want to apply, let go and all selected files are applied with the color label.
Go back to Bridge and select the 1 star folder in favorites, drag and drop the files back to their original folder and repeat this method for other ratings using filter panel and drag and drop.
It is a bit of a D-tour but much faster then using the one by one method…

How to manage image in a column of a table

Hi all,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 and ADF faces.
I would like to have a table with a column to save an image. After that I would like to have a page .jspx that visualize the fields of the table, including the image.
I would like to know how I have to do:
1) in the database to save the image
2) to visualize and manage images on my .jspx page
I have read something on the forum and googling, but I have found threads of one-two years ago, and I don't know if they give to me the right solution for my version of Jdeveloper.
Can you give me a step by step procedure to solve my problem? Do you have any links to suggest me?
Regards
Andrea

We did a web app a while ago and used image files for warehouse to show images of parts
1. BLOB
2. We didn't use adf. also I am using 10.1.3.4.

Disconnected managed images after data recovery

First of all, hello to all of you willing to help me,
I am on a trip around the globe with limited internet access and only my mac, a camera and now three external hdd (and my wife G). Hence, not many options to deal with technical problems. Further more am I a fairly new, meaning un-experinced aperture user.
The problem:
After b-tree header error, DiskWarrior usage, relocation of aperture library (and all other restorable data) to new external hdd is aperture not willing to identify the current location of most of the pix I once had in the library (10.000+). The pictures in one "project" and all sub folders/albums are connected and usable as ever. The rest shows a little badge in the right hand corner with a red line crossing a square from the bottom left to the upper right corner.
Before the b-tree header error, I had all "masters" as "managed images".
Now most images are still physically in the library when I control-click on the library and take a look into the package.
I tried to reconnect the pictures within aperture. But this is not do able. If I select more then one image and follow the instructions from the manual it wont give me the option to reconnect the pix. If I choose one image - it works. But searching through the directories for 10.000+ pictures by hand can't be the final solution.
Moreover, the repair library option does not start when I try it with alt-cmd-dbl click.
What shall I do? Any solutions?
Thanks for any help in advance!
P.S.
if I did not use the correct terms in english forgive me please. I work on a german language setting.

First of all it means you have had your masters Referenced, and now connection has been lost, for now.
Did you think they were Managed? Sounds like you need to reconnect to the source drive for your masters, either one or more?

GPS Metadata for Managed Images Bug

Alright this is really dumb. Aperture strips the GPS metadata for managed images on a version export, but does not for referenced files.
It just took me 4 hours to figure that out, ug. Metadata is sacred! Always preserve it.

My Aperture library uses managed masters.
I too discovered that if I performed *version exports* of geotagged masters the exported images did not retain the GPS data. The problem was the same regardless of whether the masters were .jpgs or RAW files. (Geotagging was performed with Maperture and Maperture Pro; the bug symptoms are the same regardless of which tool was used.)
Additionally, I discovered that if I performed *master exports*, then not only were the geotags retained in the exported files, but that +reimporting those same exports resulted in new masters whose versions would subsequently retain their geotags on version export+.
synonym wrote:
If you Relocate Masters... BEFORE you add GPS metadata using Maperture you don't lose any IPTC metadata. If you then Consolidate Masters... you can then apply GPS metadata to these images within your Aperture library and you will not lose IPTC or the GPS data on exporting the versions.
If I'm reading this correctly it sounds like you can "scrub" your library of the problem by relocating masters and then consolidating them again, and that subsequently applied geotags (and by inference IPTC metadata) will be retained on new version exports. Did I get that right?
However if you already have loads of images in your Aperture library that you have added GPS data to with Maperture and you also have loads of IPTC metadata on them and adjustments what do you do?
I did a backup of the library at this point to a vault. I then restored the vault and GPS data and IPTC metadata was all retained and was also all retained on exporting versions!
And if I'm reading the last sentence of your post correctly, it seems like the consistent behavior between our two situations is that if *images are brought into the library with geotags already in them* - in your case by library restoration and in my case by re-importation of previously geotagged masters - *then the geotags will be retained on subsequent master and version exports*.
Is that a valid conclusion to draw? If so, it sounds like I could workaround the problem of geotags missing from my version exports by either A) relocating and then consolidating my masters, or B) by the three-step process of:
1) geotagging my images,
2) updating the vault, and then
3) restoring my library from the vault.

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

I can't see images or icons in firefox or emails downloaded with firefox. What do I do to fix this? Thank you.

In particular, I can't see the up and down arrows that enable me to move from one email to another in gmail. There are many other problems: I can see NO icons and I can see NO images in my emails, whether it be hotmail, gmail, etc. when I use firefox. I read loaded firefox and got the same result. How can I fix this. Thanks.

Content Managed Image Gallery

I am looking to see if there is an image gallery available
out there that I can use in DreamWeaver that will allow my client
to upload images, add categories and captions and the likes. I know
nothing of dynamic development so I guess I am looking for some
type of extension, or 3rd party effort that I can embed into the
site, yet maintain the site's identity. Sure sounds like I am
asking for too much I know, but...
Thanks in advance!

Would depend entirely on the scope of the original term
"Content Managed
Image Gallery". I have used PVII's ImageGalleryMagic on my
brother's site
in both a STATIC and a DYNAMIC mode -
http://www.wildimages.biz/w_galleries.php
The Wild Horses are STATIC, and the rest are DYNAMIC (MySQL).
The static stuff is easy as pie. The dynamic is custom-built,
but not
difficult. I used IGM from PVII and DataAssist from
WebAssist. What I like
about DataAssist is that the code is pretty simple to
understand and to
customize - that certainly wasn't my experience with ADDT.
But each person
will be different, you know? Let me hasten to say that DA
alone will not do
this for you - you cannot avoid getting into the code. A case
in point
would be the image uploading for the galleries....

Can Bridge create an interactive Gallery?

Can Bridge be used to create a Flash based Gallery that contains SWF and MP4 content besides just static images? If so, how? Currently when I try this the normal way that I would create a gallery it gives me an error stating that "some of the content is not valid image content" when I try to build it from swf files.
I can of course do this manually but part of the advantage of Bridge is that it collects and builds the HTML file with all of the content named appropriately rather than me having to type manually all of the swf and mp4 and mov content and use the correct "html codec" if you will to display the content within the page (when I say html codec I am referring to the appropriate tags that when encasing the file name will display the file within the browser).
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've used Max 2012 and Flare3D and it was pretty simple. It came with a plugin for Max to convert objects over to f3d objects. The 'name' of the object in 3dsmax became the reference name inside Flash. I could easily reference any object I imported into a Flare3D Flash scene, move it, rotate, etc. I have no reason to believe you couldn't do the same with Away3D although I haven't tried it (I'm happy with Flare).
The complexity of the object, vertex count and material application really come into play here. Anything with complicated shader based materials may need to be entirely re-skinned using framework compatible materials before importing into Flash.

Managed image not found

I was doing a relocate originals to get the masters out of my vault and into a backed up system. After it was "done", there is one file that says "image not found". However, I can find the image file. How can I get Aperture to not see it as a managed image (that isn't in its vault) and instead to be a referenced image where I can point it to the file?
Thanks in advance,
Alan
Aperture 3.4.4

The message in the vault panel can be misleading. It will also count files in the Photo Stream. Are you using Photo Stream?
If Aperture relocated your images, you will be able to use the command "File > Show in Finder". Try that on some files in the project in question. If aperture still has the file indexed as "managed", the Show in Finder should be grayed out.
If your files are truely managed, you will see them in the Library package. Ctrl-click the Aperture library and use the command "Show Package Contents". Open the folder "Masters" and navigate to the subfolder of the date, when you imported the project. Managed originals should be stored there.

Léonie
Ah-ha! Yes, it's PhotoStream well, 155 of them are. The reast are in various sub-folders under Masters but they aren't the master files (those are definitely disk outside of the Library) and they are very small - <100k and the ones I've looked at are 720x540 whereas the originals were either 2048x1536 (iPhone 4S) or 3888x2592 (CanonEOS400D) so I don't know where they've come from The only clue is that the pixel size is the size of Std Def TV (UK PAL).
I take it that PhotoStream images are Managed and can't be Referenced? Any idea where the others may have come from? I take it that it wouldn't be wise to go deleting them!!

REALLY long files names shortened by Bridge's Image Processor

I have images from a PHPBB forum website that during creation of a post to the forum have been auto renamed by scripts and then inserted into the database. The images are huge in file size and have used up the webserver disk space meaning no more images can be uploaded!
I decided to download all images and process them down to 800 pixel wide images using Bridge's image processor to reduce the file size. This worked OK for image size reduction, but it did change the name of the file to a shorter name which has broken the link to the images.
The files names are huge! Here's an example:
45_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9 d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c 039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c0
...and yes, it doesn't have a file extension!
How can I overcome this problem of shortening file names?
Thanks

"Use another image processor?" Why? I've noticed this same thing lately as I use Bridge/CR do basic image adjustments on files renamed to even shorter character strings. Bridge just ignores everything after x number of characters. This is a solid bug in my book as it screws up any kind of workflow between Bridge and Photoshop and, well just about anything...

Can't see images under Photoshop CS6 file icons.

I have installed PS CS6 and updated it to 7.2. I can see my images under Bridge file icons, but under PS file icons, the images are generic. What do I need to do in Photoshop? What does Bridge have that PS does not?

Bill Hunt wrote:

Can you elaborate on this statement a bit, please?...
He means he installed Photoshop and updated the ACR plug-in to version 7.2.
What he neglects to say is whether he updated Photoshop itself to version 13.0.1.
