CS2 + Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6 (104504) white thumbnails

Bridge CS2 displays only white thumbnails in all folders. Initial Desktop images show fine, but when changing to folders, all thumbnails are white boxes. Including when I go back to the Desktop - all thumbnails are white. Close Bridge and reopen and the Desktop thumbnails are fine again. Go to Folders, they're all white.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, purged cache, tried everything I can find to get the thumbnails to display correctly - as they originally did. Sometime during an update things went bad.
Anyone have a solution please. isearched the forum and came up with nothing. I just can't stand going to the file open dialog box to open files instead of using Bridge as I have always done.
Thanks.

Why? Are you talking CPU hours or staff-hours? Does your workflow require heavy

  • Unable to drag and drop images with manual sort in CS2 bridge

    I've had CS2 for several years now but for some reason, just never really needed to do a manual sort. Now that I DO need to, it doesn't seem to be working. I have the view set for manual and no matter what kind of working space I use, the program does not allow me to drag and drop the thumbnails into different positions. All I get is that circle with a diagonal line through it, showing me that what I'm trying isn't going to work.
    Any ideas?

    DUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
    When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
    So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
    The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
    All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
    Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
    If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
    Thanks Curt!
    You da man!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error Message when starting Bridge CS2: "create redeclared"

    I get this "create redeclared" error message on the following line of code:
    var labelMenu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Label", "at the end of Thumbnail");
    but then this function and all others work just fine afterwards. Is there a way to either fix the error or suppress this warning? It's really more of an annoyance than anything else.
    I'm using Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6

    This happens if you try to create a menu that already exists. Use MenuElement.find() to avoid re-creating a menu with the same ID.

  • Bridge CS2 not showing all images

    After a crash of my PC (Windows XP  Home), I had to re-install Photoshop CS2.  Now, however, when I'm  trying to review images in Bridge (in filmstrip view) only some of the  thumbnails appear as photos; the remainder appear only as icons.  There  appears to be no consistency; some are PSD files, some are TIF files.  The rotating "clock hands" on the lower left (when images are loading)  do not even appear in those cases.
    Any idea how to get this back?  It's  really tough reviewing images when I can't even see them! 
    Thank you in  advance for your help.    --Dennis

  • 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!!

  • LR adjustments not showing up in Bridge CS2

    When working with .DNG files in LR, it seems that Develop settings show up in Bridge CS3 (beta), but only some show up in Bridge CS2; the same is true for metadata, but only sometimes -- keywords tend to show up, Location, City, etc. don't. Using the "Export XMP Metadata to File" doesn't seem to make a difference.
    For example: if I adjust the contrast, then export xmp, I can see the difference in Bridge CS3, but not CS2. But if I change the white balance, the change shows up in both versions of Bridge.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Brilliant, Geoff! I had downloaded ACR 3.7 for the DNG converter, but apparently hadn't installed it for Bridge/Photoshop CS2, which were still using 3.6. I used "updates" in the Help menu, and 3.7 was installed automatically. All of the LR adjustments now show up in Bridge CS2.
    Thanks!

  • Import Stichwörter Dateibrowser CS in Bridge CS2

    Hallo,
    auch wenn im englischen FAQ die Anleitung steht, so ist es mir doch nicht gelungen nach dieser Anleitung das Problem in der deutschen Version CS2 zu lösen.
    Also, wer kann helfen? Ich möchte die Stichwörter aus der Datei Stichwörter.psp (Dateimanager der CS Version)in Bridge CS2 Version importieren. Die automatische Konvertierung bei Neustart von Bridge (Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml vorher gelöscht) passiert so nicht.
    Danke für jeden Tipp,
    Uwe

    Exportiere doch die Stichwörter, mit den anderen Metadaten als XMP-Sidecar-File im Ordner wo die Dateien gespeichert sind. Soviel ich mich erinnern kann, ist das eine Voreinstellung im Dateibrowser, wo man einstellen kann, ob diese Daten zentral oder verteilt gespeichert werden. Ist halt schon sehr lange her Photoshop CS. Diese Sidecar-Files werden dann auch von Bridge CS2 und CS3, bzw. Lightroom eingelesen.
    Noch besser wäre es meiner Ansicht nach, die XMP-Daten in die Dateien hineinzuschreiben. Das geht aber bei PSCS noch nicht bei so vielen Dateiformaten wie das mit der aktuellen Version geht.

  • Can't See Camera Connected via USB in CS2 Bridge

    I've connected a Canon PowerShot (as previously) via a USB port. When I open "My PC' in WinXP, I see the Canon along with my other drives and can view the jpeg image files. When I navigate to "My PC" in CS2 Bridge, I can see all drives except the Canon. No idea why this should be so. Help!

    Hi again, John.
    I'm feeling particularly dumb these days around PS. Hope you don't mind answering these Help Center questions (or directing me to a good resource).
    OK, so I clicked on PS Help. This resulted in an Adobe Help tab appearing in the bottom bar next to the Adobe PS tab. The screen launched by the Help tab looks exactly like the standard PS screen except all options at the top are greyed out. If I click on Flie/Edit?etc, I'm returned to the standard screen (non-greyed out).
    According to the official PS manual, I should see a Help Center window. I don't.
    I'm stumped. I've used PCs for years and never had a problem with Help features. PS is the first.

  • Beim cs2 bridge geht camera raw nicht

    beim cs2 bridge geht camera raw nicht

    In Ergänzung zu Willis möchte ich anmerken, dass Camera RAW zu Anfang wirklich nur für RAW-Daten vorgesehen war (daher auch der Name) und deshalb keine Beabeitung von JPGs und anderen Dateien möglich war. Erst mit späteren Versionen wurde die Bearbeitung anderer Bildformate nachgelegt.

  • Xap rating metadata lightroom bridge cs2

    Is there anyone out there who can tell me why the xap metadata is written so differently in lightroom jpegs as compared to bridge CS2?
    I've had writtena feature on my dynamic gallery on my website that reads the xap rating in bridge-produced jpegs, but doesn't work with lightroom produced ones. When I read the metadata from the 2, the structure was totally different. I dont suppose anyone from the development team would care to tell us how lightroom and bridge CS2 read the different xap structures - it would give me a clue how to re-write the function on my website.
    Also are there plans to make the current structure standard? Does bridge CS3 for instance produce jpegs with the same structure in the metadata?
    Thanks!

    Yup, Bridge is just a Browser. ACR and Photoshop do the work.

  • Keyword Exchange between Bridge CS2 and Lightroom

    Hello,
    I was was using bridge CS2 to sort my pics with keywords and EXIF and now switched to lightroom. When I imported the pics everything was OK, data were taken over. When I now use bridge to add new keywords they are not recognized in lightroom and vice versa. Since I want to use both programs in the future how can I "synchronize" data like keywords or EXIF ...
    I would be VERY glad if someone could help!!
    Kind regards from Germany
    Stephan

    Yes, but as far as I understand this feature exports/imports all your keywords in a list but not the assingments you made to a photo. For example if I have a photo in bridge with people whose names were newly assigned as keywords. Now I open LR but nothing has changed to the keywords of that picture. So what can I do to synchronize the keywords of the pics (newly assigned/added keywords in bridge to LR or vice versa)?
