Create Image Catalog using Bridge?
I have a collection of ClipArt CD's, definietly over a thousand images in total. I'd like to create a catalog of these images, so there would be ~20 per page (I guess thumbnails), along with the file name, and the CD it came from. I suppose each CD would have it's own set of pages (E.g. header of page = "CD 23").
Is there any way I can create such a catalog using Adobe Bridge, or maybe a different Adobe product? If not, would there be any other products (ideally freeware) that would do this?
Ouch. I only have the Cs3 Production Premium package. But I have some interest in getting the 'all CS3 products ever' package, whatever it was called. Good to know it's possible w/ InDesign. Thanks for the headsup Bob.

Hi there.
Im having a wierd problem when placing images into PS from Bridge (vCS5). The image breaks up into numerous parts as shown by the image below. The only thing I can think of is that when shooting the image I sometimes set the camera to multishot to give myself a choice of image! Could this be my problem? I would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks TrevThis is a video driver problem. Update to latest. If using CS6 companies struggling to make them work. Latest does not always mean the best.

Create Flash Catalog Using CS4?
Is it possible to use Indesign cs4 to create one of those flash type catalogs like you see on the best buy/officedepot/staoples/officemax catalogs. I know Indesign can export to flash but what is needed to create those hover over bxes and zooms to the product like I see on those sites. Are those created fully in flash? Appreciate any info/help.
RobNo you can´t do those directly from indesign. You can do swf-file with quite nice page turn... and you actually can do all kinds of mouse over things by using buttons, mouse over states and show/hide button actions... but that´s about all...
Most of the catalogues you mentioned have been made by sending a PDF file to a service provider who converts it to flash/swf based catalogue. Better ones are usually quite expensive.
If you want to create your catalogue directly from InDesign, you may want to check eDocker: http://www.prepress.fi/eDocker_eng
With it you can export one or multiple SWF files directly from InDesign CS4 and create a user interface for them, including zoom and lot´s of other usefull features... You find it from Adobe Marketplace as well:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&offeringid=1 7503&marketplaceid=1
You can try it for free (3 days). -
Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

We are using Bridge to catalog our reference images and have run into a snag. When I was showing another person how to connect to our image library through Bridge and do a search, he did not get the same search results as I did, even though he was doing the same search in the same way. He only got a fraction of the images I got in response to the same search. I had him click on a directory which I knew contained other images that should have appeared and the images loaded into the main window. After that was done, then the images showed up in the search. So it was like the files won't appear in a search until they've been indexed in Bridge by loading them in the main window. I'm just guessing here.
Does anyone know of this issue and the best way to work with it? An image search doesn't do much good if you can't trust it to find all the right images, even ones that have been recently added by someone else.
Help!
thanks
SuSo it was like the files won't appear in a search until they've been indexed

Your guess is at good it gets!
Does anyone know of this issue and the best way to work with it? An image
search doesn't do much could if you can't trust it to find all the right

Here is the tricky bit, it seems that indexing files like cache is user
specific. When using the export cache to folder option I don't believe this
also export the index but I'm not sure about that. But even exported cache
files need to be read first by other users to gain same speed and previews
when exported. Personal I can't use export cache to folders due to a
longstanding bug on my system. But then again, I also don't have the need
for that function.
As I'm a known big fan of Bridge the use of it as a Digital Asset Management
system for archive purpose is far from ideal if not unusable in the long
run.
To my opinion it is not suitable for this function due to the constant
change of used cache files throughout different version and still cache
handling is far from what it should be and we are not sure what they come up
with in next version (And I hope it is a completely other way that can be
used ).
The Image Browser that was the Bridge predecessor in PSCS1 was until today
the best in handling and exporting cache and yet we are in Bridge version
4...
They changed it for the better and albeit CS5 handles cache reasonable
stable I still dump the complete cache every know and then to start over.
Working with large amount of big DNG files as I use in my workflow combined
with HQ preview results in very large central cache files that often reach
40 GB in size.
To compare, for DAM I use Canto Cumulus single user. The cache size for over
50 K of developed files (my keepers) has a size of 1 GB. Search takes a
split second and building the catalog is light speed compared to building
cache and indexing when using Bridge.
There are some other DAM applications that do this job also much better then
Bridge, while on the other hand they aren't that good in sorting, rating,
renaming, metadata as Bridge is
But be aware that they are build for single user, if you want trustable
working over network you better start saving and look at a suitable
application for this that will mostly be build to be customized to your
situation. Canto Cumulus does so but as said, the single user version is
around 300 dollar while the network version starts about ten times that
price. -
Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);
# CSV spec
# - record separator is CRLF
# - field separator is comma
# - every field is quoted
# - text encoding is UTF-8
local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012); # CRLF
local $, = qq(,); # COMMA
# print column header row
my @dd = ('column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3', 'column 4', 'column 5', 'column 6');
print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
# print data row per each file
while (@ff) {
my $f = shift @ff; # file path
if ( ! open(IN, '<', $f) ) {
warn qq(Failed to open $f: $!);
next;
$f =~ s%^.*/%%og; # file name
@dd = ('', $f, '', '', '', '');
while (<IN>) {
chomp;
$dd[0] = \"$2/$1/$3\" if m%Link Time\\s+=\\s+([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})%o;

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge
I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, LarryUsually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.
Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

How to create Image as Custom Property Type used in Configurable Web Part?
I wanted to create custom configurable web part property for Image.
Example - the screenshot of Image property used in Image web part is shown below:
My goal is to create as many images as possible in custom configurable web part.
I tried to write the code:
[WebBrowsable(true),
WebDisplayName("Example Photo"),
WebDescription("Example Photo of the user"),
Category("Custom User Profile"),
Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]
public Image ExampleUserPhoto { get; set; }
However, the result does not display Image configurable web part property.
I wonder why the data type Image does not cause the custom web part to have Image configurable web part property.
Other data types such as Boolean, Enum, Integer, String and DateTime can be used.
How can I create Image as Custom Property Type used in Configurable Web Part?I have examined that context node __00 has been enhanced,and has a class name z___00. But when I created a new attirubute by right click " Attributes" with wizard under context node __00.There is still a error message "view is not enhaced or copied with wizard".
But when I created a method "getvaliation " in the class of context node zcl__00, the attribute 'valiation' automatically created(at the same time the method "getvaliation' automatically created for the attribute 'valiation') and I need not to create attibute 'validation' by wizard . It seemed as if the problem is resloved. But when I make test for it in web ui .There is a runtime erro message.
Do I need to make some configurations in the business object layer for the checkbox? but the checkbox is only used as a flag to decide whether a backgoud job is needed to be executed.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.
Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved. -
How to batch resize in Bridge CS6 or Image Processor using height only?
I have batches of images that need to resized based on height only and would like to do so using Bridge/Image Processor. My height requirement is 1140px, however the original images are varied in landscape/portrait orientation and are of different aspect ratios (2:3, 3:4, etc). So far what I have had to do is filter in Bridge just the landscape images then select an aspect ratio, then plug into Image Processor the exact pixel dimensions of the resized images (that I discovered using Photoshop to resize and check the resulting pixel dimension). There has to be a more efficient way.
An example of what I am running into:
Image 1
Original file = 5616 h x 3744 w Portrait orientation
Resized file = 1140 h x 760 w
Image 2
Original file = 3744 h x 5616 w Landscape
Resized file = 1140 h x 1710 w
Image 3
Original file = 4652 h x 3489 w Portrait
Resized file = 1140 h x 855 w
From that example, is there a way I can plug just the height number in Image Processor (or any other Photoshop utility) so I can just batch out a bunch of images all at once?
FYI - I am not interested in buying any new software such as Lightroom to accomplish this task. I would like to remain within Photoshop/Bridge if possible.You can do what you want with Image Processor without a script. All you have to do is enter the number of pixels you want for the height (1140 pixels in your case) and then enter a number for the width that is wider than any image you will process. Image processor will always resize the images to fit inside this rectangle. That is, the height will always be 1140 and the width will fall where it may. It works like the Fit Image command in Photoshop.
