Content panel (BR4) and CS4

I have a image file I work with in PS CS4 (example: 200 images); when I access Bridge, I get fewer than 200 images appearing
in the Content panel?? Are there some parameters in either CS4 or BR4 that need to be changed??
You mean a folder with 200 images?
Bridge displays the content of that folder according to your settings of the filter panel. If you have set for instance to show only the red label and the ones with 1 star rating it only shows the selected criteria. Bottom right of the filter panel is a small icon that clears all criteria in one time, clicking on a criteria selects it, clicking again deselects it.
It might also be a cache problem, so also try the menu view / refresh to refresh the content panel.

Color of images in content panel changes (purple)

When viewing bridge on my old CRT screen in the last 2 days when I click on an image in the content panel, it and 1 or 2 images either side of the selected image receive a very vivid purple cast. The rest of the images in the content panel are fine as is the preview panel image of the selected file. If opened in photoshop CS3 the image is fine too. Only the selected image and a few others change colour. Most of the files affected have a rating of 1 star and no label, changing the rating or the label makes no difference. If I clear the cache the purple cast disappears until I click on an image again. I tried clearing the whole cashe in the preferences and that made no difference. This is the case for many folders on 2 seperate discs. When I move the bridge window across to the 2nd screen (an LCD screen) it is fine, move it back to the CRT and the pruple cast appears again, the cast is only on the image not the background or the text below the image. So what can cause do this, I don't think it is the screen that is the problem or the whole screen would be affected, and I don't think it is the bridge software itself as it would not happen when bridge is on the LCD screen, I don't want to setup bridge permenantly on the LCD screen, I just want it back the way it has been working for the last 2 years. I am using vista operating system (mad as I am!!) has anyone any suggestions?

Thank you for replying: If I increase the size of the image the purple cast stays with it. The cast is removed if I clear the cache for that folder but only until I click on an image and then it and at least 2 others receive the cast. It has to be a setting somewhere in the cache that is wrong, as I have deleted the cashe folders and reopend Bridge and the purple images are not present until I click on an image. I cleared the whole cache for the whole of Bridge which removed the cast until I clicked on an image. I have just tried removing the preview window, when I do that then purge the cache the problem goes away, until I reinstate the preveiw window then the selected image receives the cast again (immediately) so there has to be a link between the preveiw window, the chache and the image selection. I am using Bridge 2.1.1.9. on a PC using vista with SP1 installed. Has anyone any suggestions?

Bridge CS4 Filenames in Content panel

I know that in previous versions of Bridge that the file and folder names would come up under the thumbnails in the Content panel. Now I noticed that with Bridge CS4 in Windows 7 that the only way to know what the image, folder, etc is, would be to click each one to get the filename in the Preview panel. Some folders have a name placed on top of the folder image, but not all. I am more interested in knowing which image file is a jpg, gif, psd, tif, etc .
It's not a big deal ... just make life a little easier to work.

Yep, Control-T worked! Thanks for the tip!!

Effect and Content Panel Empty

HI
have iMac Intel Core i3 OS 10.6.6.
Bought Adope Photshop Elements Software with DVD, made full install, however the "Effect" and "Content" panels are empty.
No effects, no frames etc. to choose from!
Where is the stuff, how can I get it installed?
Many thanks
A from CH

Go to your hard drive>library>Application Support>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>9.0>Locale>en_US (or wherever you are) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. The next time you start PSE don't do anything till the contents of the panels show up.
Note that you have 3 library folders: system>library, your username>library, and the one at the top level of your hard drive. You want the last one.

Combining image and text in accordion content panel

Hello,
I'm having difficulty displaying image and text together within an accordion content panel. What I need is a thumbnail photo of a staff member plus a short bio. I've put a panel together so it displays as needed in Live View, but not in IE8, Foxfire8, or Chrome. I'm using Dreamweaver 5.5, Spry 1.6.1, Windows 7.
Here's the code for the panel that includes an image not displaying:
<div class="AccordionPanel">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab">Stan Swiercz, Training Manager</div>
<div class="AccordionPanelContent">
<div class = "PanelImage"> <img src="/images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/></div>
Bio text goes here</div>
</div>
Here's a link to a test page (ignore funky color variations, still settling those). The panel that is set to open should display an image floating left with text wrapping, as it does in Live View.
http://cet-training.org/Test%20folder/people.html
I''ve double-checked documentation, help, and done searches, but can't find any information about what should be an easy thing to do. Any help out there?
Thank you very much,
George

The location of the image is http://cet-training.org/Test%20folder/images/StanSwiercz.jpg (click the link to see the image)
This is the markup from your document <img src="/images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/> which means that the image is located in the images folder which is located in the root directory.
Hence the image cannot be found by your document.
The following are possible solutions, please choose one only
change the location of the images folder to reside in the root directory
delete the leading slash from the link as in <img src="images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/>
change the link to an absolute value as in <img src="http://cet-training.org/Test%20folder/images/StanSwiercz.jpg"/>

Bridge CS4 contents panel

All the thumbnails on right side of Bridge CS4 contents panel are cut off.
How do I get these thumbnails to appear in full?

That means that you also should refresh your preferences by restarting

I had the same exact problem. I had to go up to windows, workspace, reset
standard worspaces. By just resetting the orther "reset workspace" didn't fix
the problem.

Bridge CC - Content Panel looks different than Preview

Problem - Images in the Content panel look dull and desaturated. The view of the same image in the Preview Panel, as well as Photoshop CC, looks fine (ie, like I expect from working with these images in CS6). This applies to NEF, JPEG and PSD files. In the attached screenshot, note the distinct lack of red in the skin tones in the Content Panel compared to Preview. Blues look a little dull as well. This is a PSD file. This image is tagged sRGB, verified in the Metadata panel as well as in Photoshop CC.
I have read similar threads here (where all of Bridge was dull and desaturated), but I don't see anything that mentions the two panels in Bridge displaying images differently.
Background - 10 years as a pro photographer, and I know what I'm doing around a Mac and color management. I finally "upgraded" from CS6 to CC when I got my new Mac.
System -
Retina iMac w/Yosemite. Second monitor - HP LP2475w (Bridge sits on the HP monitor)
Both monitors have profiles generated with an i1 Display and the i1 Profiler application.
Both monitors are using their correct profiles
Steps Already taken (condensed)
1. Purge cache (multiple times throughout the process).
2. Check color cache and cache permissions.
3. Reinstall Bridge at the behest of Adobe support, even though this was a new install.
4. Check that "Always high quality" thumbnails is checked in Bridge (this seems to have no effect either way).
5. Check color settings - NA GP2 in Bridge. Interestingly, the same behavior is exhibited no matter what I select here.
6. Drag Bridge to the iMac display - everything now looks good. Drag back - now BOTH Content and Preview are desaturated. Will stay like this until Bridge is restarted.
7. Recalibrate the HP (Bridge) monitor. No change in behavior.
8. Verify no sidecar xmp for this image, to rule out ACR in the problem.
9. Open Output module to verify that the content panel looks the same way there (it does).
10. Investigate ~user/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CC/Cache/ folders. Wow, the preview for this particular image in /1024/xxxx LOOKS CORRECT (like it does in the Preview panel). So Bridge IS generating high quality previews correctly.
Thoughts -
1. This seems unlikely to be a monitor profile issue. Bridge itself is displaying the same PSD two different ways. A bad profile would make everything on that monitor look wrong, wouldn't it?
2. Some of my images sit on an external drive, but the screenshot here is from the internal mac drive, to try and rule that out.
3. It's not some strange issue with the HP monitor not displaying color evenly across it's surface - if it were, than the screenshot would not show the difference between the panels. I also moved the Bridge window around the display to further verify that color is the same across the whole panel.
4. Maybe Bridge ignores the profile for the content panel - but in the case of no profile, it assumes sRGB (or does it?) which is exactly what this image is. I have tried this with Adobe RGB images and the same behavior is exhibited.
5. Previews are being generated correctly, but do not seem to be what is read off disc to display in the Content Panel.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. My gut feeling is that for some reason, Bridge is not showing me the saved high quality preview in the Content panel. But why?

Is your file tagged? I.e. does it have the proper color profile embedded?
Is your monitor accurately calibrated and profiled?
What are your preferences in Bridge re previews and profiles?

End of Upgrade Cycle for CS3 and CS4... Really Adobe?

As if business wasn't bad enough now I see there will be no upgrade paths past december for CS3 and 4 users. Is this how Adobe plans to keep users away from stopping their upgrades and reducing the number of machines they run Adobe products on? I understand Adobe is not a non-profit and has has to turn a revenue, but the geniuses at Marketing here have made a huge mistake by basically telling their customers that what they have so far will be worth zilch in comes 2013. That arbitrary deadline, is not consider some people who on the east coast are now cash strapped as anyone having to choose between home repairs and other such marvelous stuff and upgrading to CS6 guess what they'll choose. And for the lucky ones not heavily affected by the storms, they will donate to help their community before they will spend money to upgrade perfectly good software.
It wasn't enough that the upgrade path wasn't much of a discount, but in the current economy every penny counts! The choice of stopping support for CS3 and CS4 in my personal opinion an ill-advised move. I personally went from 3 to 4 within a short amount of time... then when 5 came out my budget didn't allow so I needed to wait. The new CS6 isn't direly needed so I decided I'd have to loose some additional "upgrade power" because money need to be directed elsewhere now... but the news that I'd loose all the upgrade power and would have kept on upgrading for nothing it's just ridiculous... and if that's the treatment a customer will have to expect from now on I think I'll use what I have and move to alternatives stopping to personally support Adobe products an rely on licensed copies at work instead. Perhaps Adobe hasn't notices we aren't exactly doing that great in US between the current economical situation, the various setbacks experienced across the country and for the fact that in this particular business most work is often being outsourced out of US these days... I am sure you will have a huge market on the countries where the outsourced work is being sent... as far as I am concerned comes 12/31/2013 I will no longer be an Adobe customer as Adobe is forcing me out of the upgrade cycle and I won't plan to re-enter anytime soon in the coming future... lesson learnt.
Thank you for your time (if any of the marketing gurus will have cared to read this far without laughing and discounting with a "screw those old customers, they should've upgraded earlier" which was basically the content of the email I got this week... pasted below)
Cheers,
tfbkny
Content of email received from Adobe saying last chance to upgrade now or what you got will be worthless in less than a couple months.
Dear Creative Suite customer:
We want to make sure you're aware of an important change to Adobe's upgrade policy that may affect you.
Beginning January 1, 2013, only Creative Suite customers with licenses for CS5 or CS5.5 versions will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.
Due to this change, we will only continue offering CS3 and CS4 customers like you special upgrade pricing through December 31, 2012.*
* Owners of CS3 and CS4 individual products and suite editions will be eligible to receive upgrade pricing to CS6 until December 31, 2012. After that date, only customers on CS5 or CS5.5 will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.

Adobe doesn't care, they don't have to. I like Phsotoshop and have been using it professionally for 20 years, but lets face it, I wouldnt mind some really good competition from another source. It didnt use to be the only game in town, and doesnt have to remain so.
I could brainstorm how I would want competing software to look like. Pshop is not the easiest workflow possible. Illustrator is clearly deficient to even CorelDraw, and certainly Freehand. I've been meaning to reconnect with CorelDraw. It did some cool things.
Google Chrome is pulling a lot of manoevers software wise and I hope they try to go a little deeper and give Adobe a run for their money on the one program they feel justifies unbelievable gouging. Go investigate Ableton Live if you want to see what a company that cares about its customers is doing, ADOBE. Audition is a JOKE compared to Ableton Live. Thank God we're not powned on the audio side by these suits.
The idea that a company would peddle buggy software, which CS4 was..., although some of that was Apple's fault, is bad, the upgrade prices were ridiculous, and this is the end of the road for me currently. The idea that a company would actively
push away customers is pretty incredible. "But I sent you an email!" Whoops, you gotta pay $1900 for production premium CS6! HAHAHAHAHA. Time for a YT video with my old hard copy box. Sounds like a good idea.
There are too many options on the motion graphics side, and I'll keep a static machine to run Pshop and AE CS4.
The masters of the universe will have theit way, and the rest must bow to their ambivalent greed. At least that's the way they think. It would seem that Adobe and Apple really, really want some upstarts to come up. Maybe $360 for a year to figure out an exit might work. It will be interesting to see if this hits earnings. VERY interesting.

I cannot change the font; the Content panel in Options does not have a font setting

I would like to change the font in my Firefox browser. The help instructions tell me to got to 'Tools,' 'Options,' and then open the 'Content' panel. However, when I do so there is nothing in the Content panel that allows me to change fonts.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Using SDK to create custom XMP panel in Bridge CS4

Using the SDK materials how exactly does one go about creating their own custom XMP panel for Bridge CS4?
I feel like I'm getting close- I was able to copy the BasicControlSamplePanel folder from SDK to my local C drive @
C:\Documents and Settings\tony\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels
I figure once that file is in the right place I can simply modify it to get custom fields
Now when I did this I noticed in Bridge when rightclicked on an image and clicked file info- the BasicControlSamplePanel tab was visible but upon clicking on BasicControlSamplePanel tab there was nothing in this dialogue box. Tried restarting computer- and still nothing- seems like it is the correct folder what do I need to do to get the properties to show up
Help please
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
please refer to the section "Creating custom XMP properties using XML" in the XMP FILEINFO SDK PROGRAMMER’S GUIDE for information how to create custom panels for the metadata panels in applications like Bridge or Premiere.

Bridge CS6 workspaces suddenly greyed; content panel is only active item

I am running CS6 and OS X 10.8.5. Everything was fine, and today suddenly Bridge has stopped working properly. Under the Window menu, workspaces are greyed. Under the View menu, As thumbnails, As details, As list are greyed/disabled.
Bridge appears to be locked into the Light Box workspace, except that there is no preview panel. The only panel available is the Content panel; when I select one or more files, there is/are no previews.
This is what the window looks like.
So far, these are the things I have tried, to no avail:
I have restarted the computer, restarted Bridge, I have purged the cache, disabled startup scripts.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

First try to delete the Bridge plist file from the user library.
Quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX10.7, use menu Go with option to reveal).
User (your user name) / library/ Preferences / inhere find and manual delete the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist".
Again hold down option key while restart and again reset prefs.
If this is not working I'm afraid you have to reinstall Bridge CS6. First be sure you have backed up your keyword list if you have one and also look in the aforementioned user library but now Application Support / Adobe/ Bridge CS6. Copy this folder and content to a back up place for security. Inhere all are sort of custom settings including your custom workspaces, so if needed you can copy some of these setting back to the same folders and location of your new install.
Repeat this also for Photoshop (both same library / app support and preferences) for back up security of your custom settings because Bridge is part of PS install in CS6.
Be sure to have your install disk or image file for PSCS6 at hand including the serial number. Use the official uninstaller and once you are doing so also try the Adobe Cleaner Tool :
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html (read the instructions carefully before acting).
Run Apple disk utility to check and repair permissions and then reinstall PSCS6 that also installs Bridge CS6. Run the updaters and try again.
And a final thought, before doing the above create a new user account for testing and see if this helps. Sometimes User Accounts get corrupted and Bridge is very sensitive for that. MacOsX recovery disk can help to recreate the problem user account.

Using content from PSE's "Content Panel" in Photoshop CS5

I own a copy of both Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop Elements. Overall I use PS for everything though I am not a graphic designer and some of the content in PSE is very handy. Mainly the content in the "Content Panel" (see screenshot below) My question is this, is there a way to access that content from within Photoshop CS5. I looked through the Program Files and could not find any of the content. I could go through and save each individual file as a separate PSD and use Bridge to browse those files. Is there a specific file I am missing?
Note: I only looking for the Background, Frames, and Graphics. The rest I can replicate in PS.
Screenshot from Adobe KB

Look in the Program Data files, something like:
(on windows the Program Data files are hidden files so you'll have to enable Show Hidden, files, folders or drives in the folder options)
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Photo Creations
Substitute the 10.0 above for your version of elements.

How to add a Description Column in the Content Panel (Bridge CS5)

Hi,
Is it possible to add a Description Column in the Content Panel. If so, how?
I'm talking about the Description from the IPTC Core data and I'm using Bridge CS5.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

This is the screenshot of the Metadata Workspace with the Content Panel (not Metadata Panel). As you can see it shows Name, Label, Keywords etc. but it's not possible to show Description in that list as a column.
I still agree that it would be a big bonus if you could alter this workspace with description field (even with more lines etc) but what Curt shows you might be an alternative. I couldn't help noticing that you have not created your own custom workspaces.
Try and play with this. You have the option to divide the window in 3 columns max but you can create different panels as a row in 1 column.
Grabbing a tab and move it to a new location until a single blue line appears (between the borders, a bit tricky). A vertical blue line means as a column and a horizontal line means a row. A surrounding blue line means same panel but adding as a tab. You can rearrange the tabs by dragging to left or right. under the menu window you can select which panels are visible or use right mouse click menu on top of a panel to choose.
Sadly enough only 3 columns and only one panel of it's kind per workspace, but you can resize the panels also to your own workflow needs.
In Bridge preferences you can change the colors for background in the general tab and in the metadata tab you can select what info to view in certain sections. Personally I have set my IPTC to view only description, keywords, date created and a few other subjects.
That is the nice thing about Bridge, creating custom workspaces, save them and being able to recreate them without problems :-)
I attach some screenshot of my daily workflow (with the luxury of having a 30' screen) but there are plenty of other options possible, don't forget to name and save your workspace.

Accordion content panels open on IE

I am using Spry 1.6.1. The Accordion works as advertised on Safari and Firefox. On IE all content panels are open. Clicking on them has no effect. A height value is specified in .AccordionPanelContent:
.AccordionPanelContent {
overflow: auto;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #FFFFCC;
In trying to make this work I have added arguments to the Accordion object constructor call as well:
var rssAccordion = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("rssAccordion",
{useFixedPanelHeights: true, enableAnimation: true, defaultPanel: 0});
I would appreciate any help.
Alan

I have the same problem but I, as far as I can tell, do not have any fatal errors (like open tags) anywhere.
http://www.radioimaging101.com
If ANYONE sees why IE is doing this please let me know... I have tested in Chrome (which I hear behaves a lot like Safari) and in Firefox... they both display it perfectly. I'm using IE 8, btw.
Please help!! Gracias!

Thumbnails disappeared in Pages panel in InDesign CS4

The thumbnails that show the page spreads and the master pages have disappeared in the Pages panel of ID CS4 (on Windows XP SP3). I can't figure out (a) what caused them to disappear or, more importantly, (b) how to get them back. In the Panel Options, I have Show Thumbnails checked for both Pages and Masters, and all 3 of the Icons options checked. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be appreciated.

In followup, I tried to reinstalling ID4 -- a painful process. That didn't solve the problem. So I tried unchecking display thumbnails vertically. That worked in that the thumbnails for both masters and pages displayed correctly horizontally. I then rechecked display vertically and they disappeared again.
