CC 14.2.1: MiniBridge Photoshop Tools menu scripts are launching CC 2014.. err why ?

I've installed CC 2014 and Adobe Bridge update 6.1.0.115. Since installing, if I use Photoshop CC 14.2.1 and try and access the Photoshop Scripts in Mini Bridge (Load Files as Layer, Batch, Image processor etc) they launch CC 2014 instead. I've tried changing back the File Type Associations in Bridge CC and resetting the Bridge Preferences also, but no change. I had this happening simultaneously in a Photoshop course I was teaching with 6 macs running 10.9.3 today. I'm thinking this is probably due to the Bridge Update calling the scripts from the CC 2014 application folder instead of CC.
The obvious answer seems to be to ditch CC and go 2014, but for a variety of reasons I want a fully working version of CC for the next few weeks or months, and the functionality of Bridge for CC 2013 seems lost at the moment.
Can anyone else confirm this or have solution ?

You must be on a Mac.  On windows only one version of Photoshop can at any given time.  Normally when try to launch a second different version of Photoshop your thrown into the version of Photoshop the is currently running.  However if its the Bridge the tries to do the because Bridge CC has been updated to use Photoshop CC 2014.  Nothing Happens its as though you did nothing.  I would bet Bridge tried to launch Photoshop CC 2014 for it does when Photoshop is not running.  But If it tries to launch Photoshop CC 2014 it would not launch gor Photoshop CC 14.2.1 is up and running. Its an Adobe Bug the do not have a Bridge CC and a Bridge CC 2014.    When  Photosgop CC 14.2.1 mini bridge extension launch Bridhe it launches the update Bridge CC which turned it into  Bridge CC 2014 though the Creative Cloud labels it Bridge CC.

  • Bridge updated unexpectedly, now Photoshop Tools don't work

    Hi, all;
    I have Web Premium CS 5.5, which I am quite happy with, but I also have a Cloud subscription so that I can use CS products on my laptop (my management decided it was easier to do that than dig up the physical media when my laptop was purchased).
    Recently, I needed InDesign (not part of Web Premium) and installed it from my Cloud subscription. Now, when I select Browse folder with Adobe Bridge, it brings up the CS6 version, not the CS5.5 version. I wouldn't mind much, but the PhotoShop tools menu item doesn't appear (this is about 50% of what I do with Bridge). I can manually open the CS 5.5 version, but of course this is not as convenient as the right-click option, plus the CS 5.5 version is no longer stable (it crashes a lot).
    How do I either get the PhotoShop Tools menu to work in Bridge? Alternatively, how can I get the right-click menu to point to my unstable version of 5.5? I can live with the instability if I can keep it open long enough to at least do what I need to do.
    Thanks;
    Amy

    if PhotoShop tools can't be made to work properly from Bridge CS6, launching CS 5.1 from the right-click menu would be an alternate fix that would be acceptable.
    Bridge works version specific, so CS6 is not easy to use with CS5.5 due to the start up scripts used for the menu Tools. Indesign, Illustrator and I believe also Premiere Pro are the other applications capable of working with Bridge and when only installing one of these apps from the Creative Cloud they also install Bridge CS6 form the Creative Cloud.
    All settings for some reason auto select the newest version, on a Mac for example the finder always used to set itself to the latest installed Photoshop version as default application to pen with, I recall this was hard to avoid, maybe it is still the issue.
    However you still have the CS5.5 installed that will offer the wished behavior.
    You could try to start Bridge CS5.5 manual and the restart Photoshop holding down shiftoptionCommand (Mac, don't know the Windows equivalent) to reset its preferences and force them to the open CS5.5.
    But personally I would not use the Browse in Bridge command in PS itself. I always have both Bridge and PS active and running from log in and never use the Browse in Bridge command.
    Using this command does need to open Bridge or auto switches to the latest version, Having Bridge already up and running saves time in caching and with a work space customized with a folder panel in view is much easier to navigate
    And of course, there is no objection to download also PSCS6 from the CC, I really don't agree with earlier versions being better. Only Bridge CS3 was a very bad version, yet it was in its way better then the first version of Bridge that appeared in CS2. CS3 had much more options but was very unstable (not unusable if you dumped the cache and prefs every few weeks).
    The difference between Bridge CS5.5 and CS6 is a different Cache structure. It claims to be again faster and more stable but some Windows users on this forum sadly enough can't confirm this due to slow criteria building.
    Personally I experience CS6 faster and better then CS5

  • No progress indicator or report for Tools menu sequence execution?

    I have a sequence that I call from the TestStand customized Tools menu.
    This sequence generates custom reports on sequences. The report generation
    process can take anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds (there are DB queries
    involved).
    I hoped to use the TestStand progress indicator to display the report
    generation progress and the Report.Load method to display the report to the
    user when its done.
    If I set a breakpoint on the first step of the report generation sequence
    and run it, everything works as expected after I proceed from the break
    point. The progress indicator comes up and updates itself. And the
    operator gets a copy of the report in the Report tab of the execution
    window.
    However, if I don't set a bre
    akpoint, an execution window never pops up. No
    progress indicator, no report when done.
    I assume its got to do with interactive v. non-interactive execution. Is
    there a way to force a Tools menu sequence to execute as an interactive
    execution so I get the execution window to pop up?

    Thanks. I forgot to mention that I'd tried that... still no luck. I added
    the RunState.Tracing = True as a statement as the first step in my Tools
    seqeunce call. The execution window still does not appear. Is there some
    place special this statement needs to be?
    Are there any global setting
    s that override the Tracing flag? If I check
    Enable Tracing in Station Options, while the window pops up, the execution
    takes unacceptably long as TestStand traces every single step, even when
    tracing speed is set to max. I can't find any other setting that seems
    related to this...
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Hi After being created a new session by our IT department on network Adobe Bridge seem to have lost its link to photoshop in the tool menu. We can't keep on with our usual process to convert picture in Grey ... Could you help us on this ? thanks in advanc

    Hi All,
    I've just been hired in a new editing company where we are producing pictures in black and white to illustrate our book.
    The previous person that was occupying this position could manage the pictures workflow through bridge using a script that was in the Tools menu and use to select several picture and send them to photoshop to apply and converting script (black and white convesion).
    The problem I encounter on my session is that I can't send picture to this photoshop script using Bridge ... Can someone help me on this ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards

    If you used Sync to do that "import", disable Sync for at least one of those Profiles.

    Thank you for your suggestion. I have Sync enabled for all the profiles. To my surprise, however, Sync was of no use in getting Default's extension collection into Shopping. For that I had to resort to the article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox.
    I will try disabling Sync on Shopping.

  • My Bridge Tools menu does not have Photoshop submenu

    Hi,
    In Bridge CS3, I just noticed that the Tools menu does not have a Photoshop submenu and therefore I cannot apply Batch commands - among other things.
    I have the latest version (2.1.1.9) in MAC OS X Leopard. What is going on?
    I have a friend that has the same program in Windows Vista and has the Photoshop submenu...
    Please help!
    Juan Dent

    Check your preference folder start up scripts. Inhere the startup script should have a checkmark on it. if not put in on and after restart the script should be there.
    Otherwise try a refresh preferences holding down the option key when restarting bridge.

  • Photoshop missing in bridge tools menu since CC2014 upgrade

    Photoshop is missing from the Bridge Tools menu since my CC2014 upgrade.
    How do I get it back?
    Any help?
    I'm dead in the water.
    r.

    Well, My Ps CC is long gone and, apparently, re-installing it does not solve the problem.  I posted another discussion on this issue within this forum entitled "Many communication issues between Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge since update."  Sorry, had forgotten about this one.  I also tried calling Adobe's Tech support, but they don't seem even to be aware of such issues and were not able to present a solution over the phone.  So far, here is a summary of what is happening with me, which I hope will help pinpoint everyone else's issues:
    1. "Browse in Bridge" from Photoshop will result on CC app window opening asking if I am sure that I want to update "this Bridge version."  I have no idea of what this means.  I already updated Bridge and Photoshop over and over and the issue still occurs.
    2. Bridge tools menu does not have the options to open images in Photoshop any longer.  This is to me the most frustrating issue of all.
    3. Mini Bridge is absent from Ps CC 2014
    So, could Adobe please help here?

  • Photoshop submenu is missing under tools menu in bridge

    I Have downloaded the new Photoshop CC 2014 and updated Bridge. Trying to send some pictures from Bridge to photoshop as layers is not possible because the photoshop submenu is not available under tools.
    Checking Bridge preferences > start up, does not show Photoshop.
    Checking Library> Adobe > BridgeCC > start up, does not have Photoshop in it.
    Can somebody help me restore the Photoshop submenu.
    Thanks

    Today when I start Bridge it had a message asking if I want to install a "Photoshop extension”.
    So my problem is solved.

  • Tool Menu Stopped working in Photoshop CS6 Mac?

    Today when I opened my Photoshop CS6 on my Mac in OS 10.9, the tool menu stopped allowing me to select a different tool by clicking on the lower right arrow in the tool boxes. Before, I could click on , say the brush tool, and hold the mouse down to select a different kind of paint brush. Now nothing happens when I click?
    I tried trashing preferences, checking my mouse preferences, etc. Nothing seems to be different, and yet this maddening behavior has taken over.
    Right click does open up the menu, but I much prefer the old way.
    Anyone encounter this problem?

    The popup list seems to have a time delay built in that at times I have seen not work.  A right click the will usually pop up the list. Resetting tools and preferences and reboot is wort a try to fix the behavior

  • Photoshop not available in 'Tools' menu in Bridge

    Hi all,
    Very strange occurance for me, in the Bridge tools menu of CS5 - photoshop showed up as an option and I used it to access image processor which in turn opened photoshop and nothing happened.
    I restarted both programs and photoshop was then not available on the tools menu of bridge.
    I had a problem with photoshop last night and I had to trash the preferences file, is this something I have to do with bridge also?
    Thanks!

    So in Bridge's preferences, there weren't any startup scripts showing when the problem occurred but when unchecked 'start bridge at startup' and restarted the machine the tools menu once again had photoshop available. All by magic apparently.
    Any idea why this magically disappearing then reappearing happens?
    Thanks.

  • CS5 Bridge has no Photoshop option under tools menu

    I am running CS5 under Win7. I have previously tried th
    e demo version, but since have installed the purchased version with ACR6.1.
    Problem is that I have no Photoshop sub menu under the tools menu in my Bridge. This means no
    HDR merge Pro available, only from within Photoshop itself, which limits me to 16 bit image processing.
    All other options seem ok (I can do panoramas from within Photoshop..)
    I tried a full deinstall and reinstall, but no joy, problem is persistent. Any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards, Julian

    Hello Zeno, Many thanks for the fast answer. This seems to make sense to me, but I seached for a long time for such an answer.. I shall try it when I get back to my personal computer in a few hours.

  • Photoshop missing from bridge tools menu

    I have upgraded from CS2 to CS3 and now cannot access Photoshop automate features via bridge as the Photoshop menu item is missing from the Bridge tools menu. I am running XP professional all programmes are up to date

    All items are checked in Startup Scripts dialog, but when I click on Reveal My Startup Scripts, the folder is blank.
    In /Library/Application Support/Adobe, there is no Startup Scripts CS5 folder.
    I have now uninstalled CS5, used the cleaner and reinstalled it from different download files seven times, so I doubt that's the problem.
    Don't know what to do next.

    The display resolution allows a user to set according to pixels I think, eg 3200 x 1800. So which setting is considered normal? It does not have a "normal field.
    You are right.
    Before HiDpi displays became available three years ago, you could find advice about what was the good resolution for displays, depending on their size in in/cm and viewing distance.
    - For relatively big displays (22" to 30") a pixel resolution of 1920 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 was considered optimal.
    - For big laptops or small desktop, 1680 x 1050 or 1640 x 900 were good.
    In Windows, you could set the size of fonts to full resolution or 25% or 50% bigger... if the software supports this feature, which was not the case with Photoshop, Elements... The size of the fonts was deternined and fixed in the software itself, with no way to scale the fonts. The solution needed Microsoft to provide developpers with new programming interfaces and the solution for developpers was to rewrite a substantial part of the code.
    Anyway, to enable good viewing of characters on common 12 or 13" HiDpi displays, you need to use the fonts at 200%.
    And that makes sense. To see the same characters on a 12" display the same as on a 24", they must be twice the size... good rule of thumbs.

  • No image processor in tools menu in cc

    I have no access to image processor, contact sheet II or anything else in the tools menu in Bridge CC

    In Bridge preferences check if there is a checkmark in front of the Photoshop Start up script (Bridge prefs / Start up scripts) If not check it and try again.
    Otherwise provide more details about system versions, exact versions of PS and Bridge and how much free space is left on your start up disk as well as how much RAM and VRAM you have installed.
