Copying from Bridge CS2

I cannot seem to be able to copy files from Bridge when I am viewing them. I am using Windows Vista. Why can't I highlight a photo, then copy and paste it to another location?

Because what you see is just a thumbnail with a link to the file. To get around this I added "copy to" and "move to" to the right menu.
Have to change the resistry, but on-line instructions are pretty easy. Believe Google - copy to vista.

Iost files from bridge CS2

I recently upgraded from CS2 to CS6. Foolishly I deleted CS2 Bridge before transferring my images into a safe folder.
Are they hiding in a folder somewhere?
I feel so dumb!
Many thanks!

As Yammer P and Curt already stated that if you drag files in Bridge they move to the folder you have Bridge pointed at. If you did only uninstall Bridge (instead of deleting it which is usually a bad idea for most applications, always try an uninstall if possible) then there must be a folder on your system containing those files.
It might not be restricted to your user account, if you had bridge pointed to another location on your system then the files will be there.
You can try Spotlight for a first go using only the extension or if you no a file name try that.
But you also might to try the freeware application Easy Find that is capable of doing a far better job in finding. As source select your computer instead of user account because then your whole system will be part of this file, including package content. But Bridge does not use a package content like iPhoto and Aperture do.
Here is link for Easy Find:

But another question, your search means you don't have a back up of your important files?
A Mac can act as a very safe machine but in general it is not a question if a hard disk fails but rather when. And while computers are acting also pretty straight forward, us people don't. So always have a proper back up system to avoid losing your important files.
Might not help you now but most of us have also learned this the hard way...

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

Keywords are stored on the image so they will automatically be read by CS6 or any other program.

Bridge lost from PS CS2

MetaData import from Photoshop CS2 Bridge to Lightroom??

Dear all,
I have 2 questions.
1) I am trying to figure out whether Metadata import from Bridge to LR will be supported?
2) I am not satisfied with Bridge as a Data Asset Management tool and due to an urgent project have to organize all of my >250 Giga data. ASAP. Any suggestions for a workaround until LR is released for purchase?
Thanks in advance,
Siana

1. Yes
2. Can't help with that, sorry.

Bridge CS2 - files over a network

I have been using Bridge CS2 for a while now. It is mainly used for the preview and management of RAW files. Until recently, the files have been located on the local drive (C:) and there has been no issue. However, I have recently, for security reasons, moved all of the files onto a Linux file server. Ever since then, it has been painfully slow using Bridge, infact it crashes infrequently.
I know that the solution may seem obvious - the file transmission is being slowed by the network/server. However the network runs a gigabit LAN with a gigabit switch between the two machines. The physical location of the server is less than two meters from the workstation, and I can confirm that the LAN is infact running at 1000 (monitoring via task manager of file transfer in Explorer between two machines). Regardless, even at 100bit LAN, Bridge should still be running smoothly.
I copy the RAW files (about 12meg each pic) onto the server, and then open Bridge and it takes about 10mins to load up about 100 files.
I have tried clearing the cache, and running the cache on both the local and network machine, and all of the this suggested by Adobe http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=317912.
As far as I can tell, Bridge is taking a long time to build the thumbnails. I have even tried turning off anti-virus and firewall, but there is no difference. Every other network activity takes little/no time and I need this to work smoothly. Surely I don't have to restrict to local files!
Please help me! Do I need to change any settings? Is it normal for Bridge to take so long over a network?

I realise that operating over a network is never faster than a local drive, however using a gigabit LAN and dedicated file server should be the closest thing to running a local drive, if not as fast as a USB2.0 drive (which runs at 480Mbps).
I have however been able to solve the problem. I am not sure if this is an actual "fix" but I did a few things:
1) I unmounted the network drive and remounted it using SUBST (ie "SUBST X: C:\directory\path")
2) I cleared the cache for both Bridge and the Camera Raw ("C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge" & "C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Camera Raw"); then
3) I rebooted all machines (including the sever with "sudo shutdown -Fh now"); and finally
4) After reopening Bridge the first time I closed it down again and cleared the cache again.
Now it works perfectly - infact it is very close to the speed it was working with the local drive. The cache build very fast and there is no more hanging or crashes, and I am back to the old Bridge!!

Can't Open jpeg files from Bridge CS3 to PhotoShop CS3

This is really weird. I had a trial version of CS3 and bridge worked fine. That ran out, so I tried CS2 to see if I could get by with the older version. CS2's bridge worked just fine.
Then I installed a full version copy of CS3 and removed CS2 (to free up space) and for some bizarre reason, I cannot open any files from bridge into Photoshop. It's the CS3 bridge because I clicked on the Help, About Bridge and it showed CS3.
When I just click "open" under file, it tries to open with Illustrator. When I click, "open with" I get this list: Adobe Illustrator CS3 (default), Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.00, and Paint 5.1.
I can't figure out a way to change the default to CS3, and it worked fine with the trials.
Please advise.

It was a nice thought. I just did it, and associated all .jpg type files with photoshop, but no such luck in solving issue. I did figure out a way around it that kinda works, but not nearly as convenient. I drag select a group, then hold-click on the group and toggle into Photoshop, then let go. It pastes the group there. However, if I control click to select a group (or deselect within a group), I can't hold-click. So I have to do smaller groups at a time if I want to bypass certain pictures that get grabbed in a bigger group--does that make any sense at all?

How do I remove latest version (4.0) from my CS2 installation?

I am running Photoshop CS2. In error I had installed the wrong version of Camera Raw (version 4.0). I have since removed the .8bi file and replaced it with the correct version (3.7).
In CS2, when I view Help/About Plug-In I see 2 versions of Camera Raw - versions 4.0, and 3.7.
When I try and try and open a raw file from Bridge straight into Photoshop nothing happens. I have tried dragging and dropping and right click thumbnail then 'open with photoshop cs2' options.
I only have one (the 3.7 version) file named 'Camera Raw.8bi' in my folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats so am wondering if there is a conflict in a registry file somewhere?
Any ideas please?

Adele, Good advice from Jim. This is not a registry issue - the behavior you are seeing is due to an additional copy of Camera Raw file somewhere in the folder path. If you are using Windows, run AcrChecker, which will locate the additional v4 copy, right click on the plugin, open the folder, and delete it. AcrChecker is located here: http://curvemeister.com/downloads/acrchecker/index.htm -- Mike Russell - www.curvemeister.com

Adobe Bridge (CS2) not working. Even after new installation

Hello,
The Problem was, that Adobe Bridge (CS2 on Windows XP) suddenly stopped the work. After several days of trying to get this program to run again, i deinstalled and installed Photoshop with all it´s programms.
But Bridge still is not working anymore. I can visit some folders once or twice, but after 2 tries, it stopps and give no reaction.
What is wrong with Photoshop ?
regards

You need to reset Bridge preferences by holding
Ctrl+Alt+Shift while starting the program from the icon. You should get a dialog offering three choices select all of them.
This does not happen with a re-install of the program.
If you don't get the dialog box, keep trying till you do.

Image processor from Bridge problem

ONe of most annoying things with Bridge is that often, image processor wont open from Bridge -- unless you quit out and relaunch Bridge -- quite a hassle.

You are absolutely correct. In order to pass selected images in bridge over to photoshop, you need to invoke IP from within Bridge. I didn't make that connection from your earlier post.
So your original request makes sense. Personally, I would rather see an improvement in Image Processor (as well as the Batch dialog) that allowed one to specify the source as "Bridge".
In photoshop 7, in the batch dialog, you could specify the source of the files to be batched as "Open Files", "folder", or "File Browser". If you choose File Browser, the batch action will be performed on files selected within FB.
In CS2, in the batch dialog, you can see Bridge as an option, but it's grayed out. You can only invoke the Batch operation on files selected in Bridge from within Bridge - a serious shortcoming.
The same theme holds true for Image Processor, and indeed, it looks like most of the scripts behave that way.
So rather than have a shortcut, I would like, as I say, the ability to specify bridge as a source in the dialog boxes for the image processor and batch dialogs.

I can't get Dr Browns Image Processor Pro to work from Bridge with Photoshop CC 2014

We use the wonderful DR Browns Image Processor Pro script a lot, but cannot get it to work from Bridge with PS CC 2014. When I select files in Bridge CC and then go to Tools> Dr Browns Services 2.3.1 > Image Processor Pro it just pops up an error message that says ReferenceError: photoshop is undefined.
The actual script works fine if I launch it from Photoshop CC 2014 - just not if I load it from Bridge CC.
I have unistalled it and re installed a few times, both manually and through the Extension Manager CC.
I am using a Win 7 64bit computer.
I assume there is some change in the scripting part that loads Photoshop from bridge but not sure. It worked fine in CC. Just not CC 2014.
I opened the Dr Browns Services .jsx file but don't see anything obvious. This is the section related to the Image Processor Pro part:
// This routine takes an array of files. If called by Photoshop,
// it will invoke Dr. Brown's Process 1-2-3 with the files. If called by
// any other app, it will send a BridgeTalk message to Photoshop
// to invoke this routine with the same arguments.
drbrownserv.process123 = function (files) {
// Bring Photoshop to the foreground.
BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("photoshop");
// Create a new BridgeTalk message for Photoshop to invoke
// Image Processor with the selected files
var btMessage = new BridgeTalk;
btMessage.target = "photoshop";
btMessage.body = "drbrownserv.process123 (" + files.toSource () + ");";
btMessage.send ();
} else {
photoshop.runActionCommand ('611736f0-9c46-11e0-aa82-0800200c9a66', files);
catch (error) {
if (error.number != 8007) // Don't report user cancelled errors.
drbrownserv.alert (error);

I copied that .jsx file to a new name "Xbytor Image Processor Pro.jsx" edit that file changed the string Dr Browns services to "Xbytor Image Processor Pro" then commented out all the code that added tools menu items but "Image Processor Pro" and I put that file into
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" even though Bridge CC is 64Bit seems to use theat location.
Bridge CC was updated by the creative clouds update and opens Photoshop CC 2014 now

Displaying thumbnails in Bridge CS2

Hello, I've organized the photos from my Canon Digital Rebel XT in Adobe Bridge CS2 (Version 1.0.4.6) for years without a problem. I shoot in RAW and those files are approx. 7 MB in size. I recently received a Canon T3i and the files sizes are approx. 3 times as large and I'm having trouble getting Bridge to display a thumbnail. I can't imagine it's a file size issue since I routinely have .psd files that are 70 MB and larger that I have no trouble having Bridge display a thumbnail. The photos from both cameras are CR2. Is there a settings in Bridge I should adjust?
Any other ideas why I can't get the photos from the new camera to display as thumbnails in Bridge?
Thanks for your help :-)

The fact that they have the same extension is irrelevant. The files are fundamentally different.
The Canon T3i was supported for the first time in ACR 6.4 and later, which only run with CS5.
There is and there will be no version of ACR that will work with Bridge CS2 to open files from the T3i.
Your only option would be to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw CS2 files to raw DNGs that you can then open in CS2.
If you have an Intel Machine, you want version 6.6 of the Adobe DNG Converter. If your machine is older than the Intel Macs, e.g. any kind of Power Mac, then you need version 6.4 of the free Adobe DNG Converter, as later versions will not run on non-Intel machines.

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.

I have CS2 and am interested in buying CS4,or CS5, or CS5.5 used. Will my serial number from my CS2 work for an upgrade version?

Like to own hard copy CS at the cheapest possible price.
CS2 will not work with Lion.
I'm looking at used CS4 upgrade discs that are for sale.
Will my serial number from my CS2 work for the upgrade?

There are no upgrade paths from CS2.
If you purchased used software you're pretty much on your own. Much of what is sold on places like eBay or Craigs List doesn't have valid licenses. Caveat emptor.
