Clicking on nef in bridge opens CS5 32 bit

I have Win7 64 bit and CS5 64 bit. When I double click a nef in bridge, it starts the 32 bit version of CS5. Why would it not start the 64 bit version?

Because Bridge is strictly 32 bit and Adobe simply hasn't put the effort in to build a 64 bit version of it.
It's a shame, too, because the 64 bit version of Camera Raw uses multithreading, where the 32 bit version does not, so depending on the computer the 64 bit version can be much faster.
You could drag the files to a desktop icon set up to start the 64 bit Photoshop. Caveat: I know this works with Explorer, I don't use Bridge so I'm not sure whether it's possible with Bridge. The icon's shortcut should point to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe".

Photoshop CS5 64 bit opens, 32 bit will not using Win 7 64 operating system

Hi;
I have not any problems using CS5 64 bit and until now could use CS5 32 bit which I use because some plug-ins will not install to 64 bit CS5, but will to CS5 32 bit.
Now: I can open 32 bit CS5, but when I attempt to open a file (JPG) it shows in navigator but will not open in work space.
Any solutions or ideas, please.
Gus

CS5 32-bit opens with no menu, empty actions window

When I open CS5 32-bit the main window has nothing in it but a white background. There are no menu items or toolbox. The Actions window open completely blank (transparent except for the frame). The application is unresponsive to any mouse commands (trying to grab and move the window doesn't do anything).
Task Manager shows that it's consuming around 12% CPU time and around 73 MB memory.
Last week I was editing some photos when I got an error that an action could not be performed because of a program error. I haven't been able to use the 32-bit version ever since, but the 64-bit version is fine.
I've removed CS5 and reinstalled it. I've also rebooted several times.
I need the 32-bit version so I can use DFine2.
Anyone seen this?

I use the Nik suite, and I removed all of the Nik apps when I removed CS5.
I'll try the Ctrl-Shift-Alt on startup after I finish with this batch of photos I'm working on.
If that doesn't work my next plan is to remove CS5, all the Nik software, then clean my registry and reinstall it all.
Any reason I should remove CS4 also?

NEF files not opening in camera raw in CS5

I have lightroom 3.2 and photoshp CS5 extended
I am running if 64 bit in Windows 7
If I try to open a .nef file from lightroom usinf crtl-e it does not open in the raw editor. it goes directly to what I would call the jpeg editor.
Now can I get my .nef files to open from lightroom into CS5?
If I open the .nef file from bridge it opens in camera raw just fine, or if I open it from windows explorer it opens in camera raw.
Help! this is very frustrating!!
Thanks in advance.

If LR is 3.2 and ACR is 6.2 (or they are otherwise synchronized to an older or newer version) then LR will tell PS to use ACR behind the scenes to render the file on the way into PS w/o having to go to an intermediate file and w/o seeing the ACR interface. LR does not render anything, ACR does, but you don't see it, except maybe a progress bar if it takes too long.
The adjustments in LR are the same as ACR so there's no need to show the ACR interface, right? When LR and PS are being used together, LR is meant to be the keeper of the adjustments in its database that ACR knows nothing about. If the ACR UI was visible and you tweaked something in ACR after coming out of LR it wouldn't get stored back into the LR database unless you synchronized the folder, later, and things would be a confusing mess.
Alternatively, if the LR and ACR version's aren't synced up, then LR may indeed render a TIF or PSD for PS to open, but again w/o ACR doing anything. So in no circumstance of LR-PS integration should you see the ACR plug-in when you tell LR to open into PS.

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud. I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file). I don't want to log in

When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud. I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file). I don't want to log into CC since I am not a subscriber, and this means that I have to work around, and go back to Bridge, and tell it to open the file in Adobe RAW. However, this does not work for older psd files which for some reason cannot be opened in RAW. How do I return to the process of simply allowing RAW files to open automatically in Adobe RAW, and simply right clicking on the image in Bridge to bring up the option of opening it in Photoshop?

I can't open CS5 in windows 7 it tells me "Programm is locked or you are not legitimated". Bridge and Camera draw are working ok

I can't open CS5 in Windows 7. It tells me "application is locked or you don't have legitimation". Bridge and Camera Raw are OK.

Hi,
     thank you for your answer.
     The original Text photoshop showing me is the following:
     Konnte ein Arbeitsvolumen nicht öffnen, weil die Datei gesperrt ist
oder Sie keine ausreichende Berechtigung haben. Heben Sie den Schutz
der Datei mit Hilfe des Befehls 'Eigenschaften' im Windows Explorer
auf.
     Sorry I can tell you this only in German.
     After Installation the Version 64 Bit couldn't work because of this
sentence (Windows 7 has 64 Bit Version). The 32 Bit Version worked
without problems. The next day both versions didn't work because of
this Informatiom. Bridge and Camera raw workinjg perfect but photoshop
(CS 5) is blocked.

NEVER MIND: ANSWERED: Clicking on photo in Bridge CS4 opens file not in PSE 8 but in Preview

On my Mac (OS 10.6.8) I had to re-download and reinstall Photoshop Elements 8 after my hard drive crash because I don't at all like Photoshop Elements 10. (Sorry, Adobe.) Now, when I'm browsing in Bridge CS4 (which I much prefer over Organizer; sorry, Adobe) and click on a photo to open it, it opens not in PSE 8 but in Preview. The Bridge Preferences does not address where files open, so I can't figure out how to get it to default to open in PSE 8 and not Preview. Any ideas, please?
PS: Before the crash, clicking on a photo in CS4 opened it in PSE 8, not Preview.
A nice person on Google+ answered the question with this reply:
"Open bridge, then Go to Bridge (Menu bar) Preferences.
File Type Associations, change them over to PSE8 in the right hand column."

You do understand that bridge is just a browser and not an asset management program like iphoto or organizer?
You would need to get your photos out of the iphoto library unless you are using a referenced library. In any case, you don't want to be using two different programs with two different keywording methods. You cannot use bridge on the iphoto library file itself, no, even if you don't care about losing the photos it contains.

Prefer Bridge to Open in 32 bit CS5

Can Bridge be set to preferentially open files in 32 bit CS5?
Bridge CS5, when it doesn't crash (which seems more frequent than even CS4) opens images in 64 bit CS5 by default.
Most plug-ins are 32 bit so it would seem user-hostile for Adobe to lock down Bridge, which remains as randomly unstable as prior versions, so that images only open in 64 bit CS5 unless the 32 bit version is already opened.
If one uses the 32 bit version of CS5 preferentially it is pointless to have Bridge load automatically when the computer boots. If a Photoshop process is single threaded, which most still seem to be, the 64 bit version will not improve performance for those tasks no matter how much RAM is in the computer, something Adobe seems to be obfuscating but which objective tests demonstrate.

Bridge is a 32 bit program. Photoshop can run in 64 or 32 bit mode.
If you want to open images in 32 bit PS you can change the default in file type associations of Bridge. You have to use browse and then navigate to the 32 bit version of PS and select.
Not a computer expert but if a 32 bit OS can only access 3.3 gig or RAM then I would assume the 32 bit PS would be the same. This can be a problem if one uses some of the advanced features or handles large files.

Cannot open Nikon D4 NEF files in Photoshop CS5

Cannot open Nikon D4 NEF files in Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.6 … any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply
.... strange? in the document you mention above the Nikon D4 is not mentioned as being newly supported and yet when I went to get info about this:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html
It says that the D4 should be OK in Camera Raw 6.6.
I confess to being slightly confused.

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

PSE8 - Photos double-clicked in Bridge open in Preview?

I had this same problem in Photoshop CS3 last year and found a solution but can't remember it in order to apply it to PSE8!!!!!
Double-clicking any image in Bridge causes the image to be opened by default in Preview. I can ctrl-click the image and select the app I want to open it with, but there must be a permanent solution.
Strangely enough, last night when I first got PSE8 it wasn't doing it ........ everything opened in PSE8. I'm just wondering what I have done to cause it to happen?
Any suggestions?

The Mac has always used two four character 'codes' to associate a file with its 'TYPE" and its "CREATOR." But Apple has been warning developers for a couple of years that it might change that system. Apparently, in Snow Leopard, Apple did just that. They claim they did this for better compatibility since no other file system/OS uses this very useful system, even though some could. This data has usually been in the 'resource fork' file that Windows (and its users could see but had no idea what it was for. The beauty of the old system is that two files of the same type (text, for example) could be opened by two different programs, namely the programs that created them. Quite logical, in my humble opinion. Not to Apple.
Snow Leopard now has as its first rule, to use the preset apps that Apple decided it wants to use. Text should open in TextEdit, regardless of what app created it. html should open in Safari, even though the text file was created by BBEdit. jpegs were assigned to Preview, regardless... and, despite the efforts of Bridge, that is what is probably happening. The inconsistencies you are seeing may be the ongoing battle between Bridge and Snow Leopard! Or maybe not.
Since I create web pages with BBEdit, I want that app to open any file it created. So I selected an html file and changed the info in its Get Info window and told the OS to do that with any and all html files that are double-clicked. I'd suggest you do a similar change with the jpegs/tiffs/gifs/pngs/etc. that you want to edit in Elements. You should have to edit the info in one Get Info window for each type.
Of course, you can also use the right-click/option-click and use the Contextual Menu to force the OS to use whatever you want to open any file. That probably will not work in Bridge, of course. But you can give it a try. And it will simply take longer...might as well learn new habits because we all know that Apple (and Adobe?) know what's best for us. LOL! Apple claims the new system should be used by developers, but I have seen many of them explain why it won't work. It now will depend almost entirely on the three/four character suffix text at the end of a file name. It's the beginning of the end of one of the most useful and efficient file opening systems ever created. One of the major things that made even old, pre-OS X systems so easy to use and one of the things that was so much better than any other OS, IMHO. This change is called "progress." My definition includes words like "better" and/or "easier." Apparently Apple's definition doesn't use/need/want those words. :head bash:

I have CC with all the latest versions of photoshop, lightroom, bridge when I'm in PS and click file browse in bridge ... bridge doesn't open instead it brings me to the CC desktop screen

Bridge not opening when doing a browse in bridge from Photoshop cc 2014.. Bridge opens fine on its own..

Again, thanks for the quick answer but in searching around the web I found someone respond that it looked like a issue that would go away with an uninstall and reinstall of PS CC 2014. I did that and rebooted my PC and the round trip now works. I am guessing that the problem was caused when the new version was added without the 2 earlier versions being removed. When I remeoved the older 2 versions, I expect the link was scrambled. Now all is ok.
