Closing Bridge CC with Photoshop CC

Why doesn't Bridge CC close with Photoshop CC as Bridge closes with Photoshop CS6? When I close Photoshop CC I now have to also close Bridge CC - just another steip but I'd like it to close automatically with Photoshop CC. Thanks

To explain a bit more because I think you are confusing some things: PS CS6 uses Bridge CS6 and PSCC uses Bridge CC. Bridge is version specific and uses dedicated start up scripts per version.
In CS5 (I believe, can't check myself) there was an option bar with a bridge icon to start Bridge from PS. The command 'Browse in Bridge' in PS file menu has been there as long as I can remember. It either switches to the Bridge application itself or if it was not active already this starts Bridge also.
While you can have multiple versions of Bridge installed on your systems you can have only version active and open at the time. Yet you are able to have both PSCS6 and PSCC open and working as you can with other Adobe apps like LR (e.g. both LR4 and LR5 can open and active at the same time) yet Bridge allows you to have only one version open.
I don't know why this is (can't think of a valid reason other then 'as designed') but it is a fact. You can try your self, have Bridge CC open and try to start BridgeCS6, the focus switches to the already open Bridge CC
MiniBridge is a panel in PS designed for a shortcut to Bridge itself so you don't need to switch between applications to reach your content. However the panel only works when Bridge itself is also active. MInd you, CS6 connects with BridgeCS6 and so on.
It works more or less like the other panels, you can change its size and location (dock it to others or use it floating) like you can with panels like layers, history etc. You can also create your own workspace with or without the MB panel. Like other panels you can select it in the PS menu Window, only it is under the submenu 'extensions'.
Mini Bridge could be a great feature but they screwed it in CS5 and beyond, it is hard to use nowadays (only as a floating panel you can have multiple rows and columns for the thumbs to name an important flaw). If you want to use the combination of LR, Bridge and PS for your own reasons then I would suggest to start with LR and export those files to a particular folder.
Then open Bridge to point it to this folder and take a few moments to let Bridge cache its content. Meanwhile create a collection of those files (select them all, click on the new collection button in the collection panel and name it properly.
Then in PS open MB panel and choose collections and select your newly saved collection name. just my 2 cts btw

"Does Bridge come with Photoshop if I buy the CC single app?"

Question from a Customer…"Does Bridge come with Photoshop if I buy the CC single app?"

Actually whether you consider the Suite a unified concept or not, if you are using a variety of Adobe products Bridge does the job well. Here's a great testimonial of what it does according to one user:
Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.
Not bad for an old file browser.

Is Adobe Bridge free with Photoshop and lightroom deal?

Hello anyone, I have the Photoshop and lightroom deal subscription for Adobe CC. But I don't know if Bridge free or extra? in CC Apps there is an install option which suggests it's free were has other Apps have the try option. Can any one help me please. Cheers Neil

Bridge CC must be separately installed via the Cloud app.
Bridge Help | What's new in Adobe Bridge CC
It's included with your membership at no extra cost but it's no longer automatically installed along with Photoshop etc.

Clarification: Bridge comes with Photoshop?

I went to purchase Bridge but could not find it, does it just come with Photoshop when you purchase or upgrade?

I think the problem is actually in Bridge>Prefrences>Startup Scripts.
There I have the option to allow applications to communicate with CS 6 (otherwise Image Processor wont work) but not CC.
Is it possible to insert a PS CC 2014 Startup Script in there? Where would I find it and where would I put it?

Does bridge come with photoshop with the new cloud version?

I had to buy a new computer today and looks like I have to start using the adobe cloud versions of the programs. I don't see bridge? Does it come with it?

Bridge is a separate install in CC but is of course included.

Bridge CS6 with Photoshop CC?

Due to problems I'm having with Bridge CC I'd like to use Bridge CS6, but when using Image Processor from Bridge CS6 it launches PS CS6 (even if PS CC is already open). Is there a way to direct Bridge to use PS CC 2014 instead?
I'm on a Mac running Mavericks.

Am I able to use Bridge CS6 with Photoshop CS5 ?

Hi all,
I think after using a trial for Illustrator in which CS6 bridge was attached I managed to overwrite Bridge CS5. AM I able to use Ps CS5 and Br CS6 together or do I have to look to re-obtaining Br CS5 ?.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

I'm doing this right now on two win 7 64-bit installs. I've opened either app in different order and things work just fine. BR CS6 is fast and stable, PS CS6 is still too spooky for me (since its October and all )

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

Bridge is not connunicating with Photoshop CS6

I own Photoshops v CS3, CS5.1 and CS6 which I bought as an update.
All versions were installed on my PC and to make moore room on my hard drive I uninstalled CS3 and CS5.
I now find my Bridge CS6 cannot open images. I get the error message 'Windows cannot find C:/Programme Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Photoshop.exe The Updater in CS6 has never worked for me - I always get an error message (I did uninstall and re-install CS6 about 3 times when I purchased it but this didn't make any difference to the error messages)

Many thanks for your good advice. Bridge is now communicating with Photoshop - Phew!!! Thanks
I have done as you suggested. I already had a backup copy from when I downloaded CS6 earlier in the year and I have re-installed it. Strangely enough I wasn't prompted for my previous version licence no.
However I am still getting error messages which I thought might have been erradicated with these actions (Extension Manager 6.0.8 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7) and I now find the Text Tool doesn't work!
After re-starting my PC the TEXT Tool is now working! There seems to be a bug in my PC!
I have discovered that the Error Code U44M1P7 relates to Extension Manager - I have no idea what this software is - so maybe I don't need it

Hello. I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION. I also have Photoshop CS6 installed. When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6. If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in the Dock it will open in CC. Since I like to double-click or hit return in the bridge, I am constantly having to wait until the file opens in CS6, quit CS6 an then open it another way to get it into Photoshop CC 2014. I tried to disable CS6 by hiding it, but then double-clicking Bridge did nothing. Any ideas why this is happening?

Check and adjust the File Type Associations in the bridge cc preferences.

Open with photoshop in Bridge CC

When I try to open a file in bridge CC with the command "open with photoshop (default)", I get the message "windows cannot find photoshop CS4, make sure you typed the name correctly and try again". Yes, I had CS4 a long time ago, before CS5 and 6. How can I get bridge to open my files in photoshop CC?

Ok, I go to edit > preferences > file type associations. It shows me a list of file types. I suppose I have to go to canon camera raw in there. It says photoshop, so I click the little arrow there It gives me three choises: photoshop, COM surrogate 6,1 and browse. I choose browse. That brings me in my program files. There I click on adobe and than what? Do I click adobe photoshop CC and open or do I have to go further and click a folder within CC? I hope I make myself clear enough, its difficult for me in English.

How to make Bridge CS4 compaitible with Photoshop CS3?

(MacBook Pro, OS 10.5)
After suffering many crashes and terrible performance of Photoshop CS4, I want to switch back to Photoshop CS3. But there is one thing that holds me - Bridge CS4 is so damn good, that I still want to continue using it. Unfortunately, Bridge CS4 doesn't have the Automation scripts that use Photoshop CS3, it only can run them with Photoshop CS4... If I remove Photoshop CS4, the Automation menu just disappears from the Tools menu in Bridge
Please help, is there any way I can run those Batch automations on from Bridge CS4 on Photoshop cs3? I'm not a programmer, so please be more clear, if it involves altering some files...

Here http://www.techgreet.com/create-animated-gifs-in-adobe-photoshop/ is step by step guide to your question, i hope it will solve out your problem.

Bridge CS6 can't open image with Photoshop CS6

I installed Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6 with my Mac Pro with drive 1, which was cloned with drive 2 as a backup.
Now every time I try to open my RAW file in Bridge, it opens the file with the Photoshop with drive 2 instead of 1.
I have tried to eject the drive 2, but Bridge (with drive 1) fails to find the Photoshop in drive 1.
I have to force to open the Photoshop CS6 before Bridge in order to open the image, is there a way to sovle this problem?

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far anyway? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point.)
