Cant label files in bridge

Hi all,
I'm on Mac Leopard and running the newest version of photoshop 5. I've come across a bit of a glitch. I've just downloaded some files from a DVD from a friend's camera and I can not label them in bridge. The labels will not stick to these files with key commands or even from selecting the drop down menu. Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Julia

AHA!
Yes, they are "read only". Yet is it still possible to open the files and work on them...is the read only designation geared just to file naming/labeling?
Thank you!
Julia

How do I rate and label files in Bridge CS6?

Fulltime student and a new cloud member. Having problems with first project. I can't nor can the instructor figure out why I'm not able to rate and label files in Bridge CS6.

No clue why I didn't think about this.
Isn't that why we are here?...
But serious, I understand your wish for a big preview but not your wish for clicking, never been a fan of RSI myself
It is a long standing issue rating and labeling are not the same in all circumstances but clicking in the preview window might be a difficult wish to fulfill. There are many ways to use Bridge but if you like big previews consider this:
In the Bridge prefs advance tab select 'generate monitor sized previews' (this should create good full screen previews)
Then either select a bunch of files in the content window you want to judge or just start at the first file.
Hit space bar and full screen preview starts showing (when all files have been cached it should take very less time or real time to show good previews.
With arrow keys cycle through the files and with cmd + . or cmd + , (comma, I now realize I had it wrong in the other post) to increase or decrease ratings. All the keys are adjustable with only one hand and very close to each other. And clicking on a spot does show a 100 % preview of that part.
But as said before, so many users, so many workflows

Can't label files in bridge, and problem with starred files

I'm working with CS3 on saving raw files to jpegs, and I usually organize them by 5 starring my favorites as well as labeling them, and just in the last 2 days Bridge has been acting up and won't label the files. Also, it will 5 star them, but only about a 1/4 of them show up in the filter as being starred. Any ideas? I already checked my access, and I can read and write to them.... the only thing I can think of is that I ran a few updates a day or two ago.... help! this is getting really frustrating and slowing down my workflow...

Still cant open RAW file in bridge in CS3

I am on a g4 powerbook and have both cs3 and cs2 installed on my computer. In cs2 bridge i can double click a raw rile and open it in bridge, and i can also paste my raw adjustments to said file in bridge. I cant do any of this in cs3. i ran the script to delete the beta and tried suggestions in other posts, but no luck. anyone have an idea?

Have you installed the ACR plug in for CS3 (current ACR 4.4) in the right place according to the install instructions?
If you look in PSCS 3 in the menu under Photoshop - About Plug ins it should show you Camera Raw with the version number and only one install.

Why I can't label a file in Bridge?

I can't label a ID file in Bridge but I can label other files in the same page. What happens?
Also I have all the time when I open bridge a note saying that I have problems with the cache and I have to go to preferencies and eliminate the cache.
Thanks

I solved the problem by going to the search field and clicking on the search icon where it will give a drop list of 3 options, then selecting Bridge Search: Current Folder and that solved my problem. thanks for everyone help

You can do a search of an external drive if the OS permissions are OK. Bridge will not search across different drives however.

Anyway to import just labeled images from Bridge to LR?

Is there a way to import into Lightroom, just your labeled images from Bridge?
I navigated to a folder and LR does not even seem to show the labels at all, nor less a way to import only labled images. thanks.

Labeling is not universal as star rating seems to be. I have several apps that read each other star rating none of them reads label. Also when having change the default name for labels often the older files with color label have still the at time assigned name but loos the color and change to white.

Create a folder that you can easy access when importing from LR. In Bridge select the label(s) you want in the filter panel and move or copy the labeled files to that folder. Now in LR you can import them.

hi im a newbie in computer and my problem is i cant open acr in bridge, every time i press the circle one there is a dialogue like you have to launch at least once a qualifying product how can i solve this problem. My os is windows vista home and im using camera raw 5.5

Could you please
1. Quit Bridge completely by going to "Bridge->File->Exit".
2. Launch PSCS4
3. Click on "Browse" icon or "File->Browse in Bridge"
If you still can't access Camera Raw from Bridge, please send me an email to '[email protected],' Our installer Eng will need to work with you directly to collect a few log files and debug from there.

No longer able to view NEF files in Bridge or edit in Camera Raw 4.6

I have found similar questions in various Adobe forums, but I have not located a solution to my problem.
Bridge CS3
Photoshop CS3 Extended
XP
Camera Raw version 4.6.0.30
Nikon D300s
Up until 2 weeks ago I have been copying my NEF files from my CF card via reader, opening Bridge, selecting thumbnail of NEF and opening it in Photoshop CS3. At which point I can process with Camera Raw 4.6.
Now, once new NEF files copied and Bridge opened, I only see NEF icons. When I double click the file, Photoshop opens and a box appears with the following text: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
Upon inspecting the differences between NEF files that I can edit and the new NEF files that I cannot, I notice in the metadata file properties that the application of the successful files is ver. 2.00 and the duds is ver. 1.00.
What "application" is the metadata referring to? I think this may be a Nikon setting, but it would help me understand the problem better if I knew what "application" this is.
I can convert the new NEF files into jpgs using Adobe DNG Converter, but this GREATLY complicates a previously straightforward work flow process.
Thank you for any light that may be shed on vexing dilemma,
Kate

Very grateful for your response and time.
The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?
Dazed, but not beaten down,
Kate

Unable to Delete Files From Bridge CS4

I am trying to delete file from bridge and all the sudden I am getting the message that I dont have permisson to delete file. I have done several troubleshooting methods and nothing works. Deleted prefs, cache, checked file permisions, repaired HD permissions, reset workspace, turned off startup scripts, etc..... Anyone had this problem or have any idea what may be causing this?
Thanks,
Colby

Ok I can delete via bridge using a different user account. So its bridge/user
account but not sure what the solution is. Would it be best to remove/install
a new copy of bridge?
I don't think reinstall Bridge is the solution. You might first want to try
this:
Quit Bridge, from user library preference folder delete the Adobe bridge
plist file manual to the trash.
Then restart Bridge again with holding down option key and from menu choose
refresh preferences.
Try again, if no luck then consider a better user check then only disk
permissions.
You can start with the original install disk from MacOs. Restart from this
disk and start with a check and repair disk and check and repair disk
permissions.
You also might consider an other disk utility like Disk Warrior or Disk
Tools Pro but they are not for free.
If not the solution you might consider to migrate your user to a new
account.

Viewing .pct / .pict files in Bridge CS3

Hello there, I'd like to view .pct / .pict files in Bridge, but I am not getting any previews. I've tried to find a topic about this but haven't had any luck. Does anybody know a way to view them... a plug- in maybe. Or is that going to be the 'way it is'?
Actually just jumped on a MAC and pct files do preview, but no luck on any of the Windows machines.
Thanks a million!

That IS odd. I saved a file from Photoshop as a 32-bit .pct and I can
confirm that Bridge (on Windows) does not preview or thumbnail it. On the
other hand, I can't find any other program, free or pay, that fails to view
the file, so it obviously presents no technical difficulties...

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files with Bridge they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's or something I can view and edit?

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

I can't delete raw files in bridge

I can't delete raw files in bridge anymore. I used to and it worked. Now if I click delete button, nothing happens.

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

Cannot view cr2 files in Bridge cs4 & Windows 7

I can not convert the cr2 files in cs4      nor read them with new Windows 7      Home Edition 64 bit computer
Upon      downloading from my camera I am unable to view the images.
After      downloading the file, when clicking on the file in Bridge to bring it into      Photoshop I get the following message” Could not complete your request      because it is not the right kind of document”
I am      able to view the images on the media card from the camera.
I have      contacted Canon and they suggest that it’s a software issue and that I      should go to the Adobe website and      look for Windows 7 64 updater.
I was      unable to find anything with this reference but I updated to Bridge 5.7.
After      trying to see the images after the update I was still unable to view the      images so I logged onto the Adobe Support site and was told that they no      longer support cs4.
Any suggestions ?

Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
The way that works is this:
1. You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
2. You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
3. It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
4. You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.
