CS3 Bridge & 5D MkII Files

HI,
I am unable to see my 5D Mk 2 files in Bridge. They only show up as generic icons. Where can I get and update for camera raw for CS3. I have looked everywhere here but there are only updates for Camera Raw for CS4. Thanks for your help.
Gary.

You can't.
You should either update to CS4 (and also enjoy more benefits in stability
and options for Bridge and ACR ) or convert your files to DNG with the
latest (and free) Adobe DNG converter.
You can download this little application from the Adobe site and when
converted to DNG you should be able to see the files from 5Dmk2 again in CS3
Where can I get and update for camera raw for CS3.

Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
"Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
Thanks, CMA

I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

CS3 Bridge, no files on right click (yes, I set preferences)

I wrote this in previous thread, but it referred to CS5 so I'm pasting it in a new one.
This is for CS3 Bridge.
Since I finally uninstalled previous CS version, now when I open up Bridge and right-click PSD image to say, open in AI, my options are only all browsers (?!) and Photoshop which is the program assoc. with PSD that I set in File Type Assoc in Bridge. Used to be able to view most Adobe programs when right-clicked before I uninstalled old CS.
It's annoying and I'm not sure how to restore/fix.
Thanks!

Uninstalling an old version, will believe it or not, cause the file associations to revert to the uninstalled version. Not an easy fix.
It appears you either need to start over or delve into the registry. See this link. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/423584?tstart=0

Why are NEF files desaturating when selected in CS3 Bridge?

I recently started shooting in RAW but when I select the images in CS3 Bridge, they desaturate. It seems to only affect NEF files and not jpegs.

Read the link in this post. Should help you.

DNG File appears as an Icon and Not as Thumbnail in CS3 Bridge

Hi
If I save a Camera Raw manipulated image as a COMPRESSED (LOSSLESS) DNG file it appears back in CS3 Bridge as a DNG Icon and not as a thumbnail.
Is there a reason for this and can I get the saved file to appear as a thumbnail.
Many thanks

try resetting your preferences and/or purging your thumbnails cache by holding Ctrl right after you launch Bridge(you have to be fast, you'll get a dialog box if you succeeded)

Bridge(CS3) conflict with Windows file explorer

Bridge will crash on me at least twice a day. I use Bridge and Windows file explorer simultaneously copying and moving files across a network. When Bridge quits I sometimes lose my network connection and have a lot of trouble re-connecting.
I have done the usual delete preference, trash cache etc., nothing seems to be working.

Not sure what is going on there, but have a suggestion. You are increasing your odds of Bridge crashing, and trashing the cache, if you move too fast. When in Bridge wait for the spinning arrow in lower left corner to stop (it is building the thumbs) before changing folders.
Don't see any correlation between network connection and Bridge crashing. Perhaps if you have a slow computer you are overloading it with tasks and it can not keep up. Minimize programs running at same time.
Also, run task manager and see what the processor is doing. If CPU useage goes up markedly that will confirm the problem.

CS3 Bridge Crashes when I open Edit Preferences

I am running PhotoShop CS3 Bridge V2.1.1.9 under Win XP Pro SP2 and when I launch Bridge and open Edit > Preferences Bridge immediately crashes with the "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close". Bridge was running fine. I assume I must have corrupted a file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried holding the ctrl buttom, the preferences reset, or any other window, would not launch. i tried the cnrl/shift/alt buttons, this did not work. i tried launching from quick start button, from the explorer exe, and still not able to get this to work. i even tried a few weeks back to uninstall and reinstall, but did not seem to work, i gave up until need it open now...
are there any other tricks anyone has had luck with to get the preferences window to work?

NEF thumbnails will not appear in CS3 Bridge

My XP machine crashed and I was forced to get a Vista machine. Vista 64 bit 7gb RAM and 640GB HD.
I downloaded the latest ACR 4.6 and that allowed me to see and edit NEF files in PS but in CS3 Bridge I cannot see the thumbnails only the NEF icon. I can double click and the NEF file will open in PS and I can edit as usual. I have tried clearing the cache' in the "tools" and it will give me a flash of some of the NEF thumbnails but that is all just a split second flash. I can see the metadata information just no thumbnail preview. JPEG's are fine.
HELP!!!

Hi:
I was having the same problem with vista 64 bit, PS CS3, bridge v. 4.6, creating thumbnails for Canon 50D. Your suggestions above to purge not only the camera raw preferences cache but also the regular preferences cache did the trick! Even though I have 3GB set for cache, it must have filled up. The thumbnails created instantly.
I had already checked for multiples of the plug-in but that wasn't it. ONly after I purged the general program cache did the thumbnails appear.
I knew it had to be something arcane like that as I also have CS3 installed in Win XP 32 bit, with the 4.6 ACR, and it creates thumbnails without any problem!
So thanks very much, you solved my problem, and I'd tried a lot of different suggestions.
It is counterintuitive I think that the program gives you three different places, tools, ACR and Bridge preferences. No wonder people have problems sorting simple problems like this out

CS3 bridge not responding

I have been using CS3 Bridge on Vista for over a year with no real problems. Recently I was using it to move some files around and it stopped responding to any command. I closed it via task manager and reopened it. It opened but did not respond to any command and did not preview any photos. I tried reinstalling and then uninstall and reinstall. No help. I went to CS3 via an upgrade from CS2. When I tried the reinstalls I was using the CS3 upgrade disc. Any suggestions to get CS3 Bridge functional again?

The prefs an caches were damaged. Reinstalls don't touch them, so nothing got fixed. You will have to manualyl delete them/ move them out of the way and let the program create new default ones...

CS3 Bridge won't start

For the first time, Bridge won't start-up either from CS3 or the XP Programs areas in Startup. I downloaded and inrtalled the CS3 Bridge 2.1.1 update and it did not help. I get the Message: The app failed to initilize properly (Oxc0000022). Click OK to Terminate. Please help if you can, thanks. phil
PS only change to my computer that I know of is I installed an ran Perfect Image defrag program

I did as you sugested: "
Hold down the crtl + shift + alt keys and start photoshop. You will be a window "Delete Adobe PS Settings File". Choose yes". I am running XP Pro, and when I use the crtl-shift-alt keys while starting CS3, the Adobe Bridge CS3 Properties Window pops up. Not anything suggesting to
"Delete Adobe PS Settings File".
I assure you that I am holding the keys properly, and continuously as I double click on the shortcut to CS3. Do you have another method that can be used to accomplish this???
I do not know if my original message was clear, but I cannot start Bridge. When I do so, I get the following message:
Bridge.exe - App Error. The apploication failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022).
So I do appreciate your suggestion to:
"To reset preferences in Bridge hold down Crtl key and start Bridge. You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options"
but I can't start Bridge, so I can't change the prefs.
Thanks for trying anyway. Phil

CS3 Bridge - Filter keyboard shortcuts on in Default Workspace?

Here's a annoying differences I notice between CS2 & CS3 Bridge, or am I missing something related to Filter keyboard shortcuts in CS3 Bridge?
I'm used to using keyboard shortcuts to filter the Bridge Contents window, i.e. pressing Command+Option+1 to show just 1-star rated files. But this kind of keyboard shortcut only works when the Filter tab is visible, as in the Default Workspace view. If I in the Thumbnail workspace view none of the filter keyboard shortcuts have any effect. Must the Filter palette be visible for the shortcuts to work or am I doing something wrong?
TIA!

hi- thank you to both of you. the question is answered but i dont know what the etiquette of awarding the 'question solved' points is here. Because the question had two parts, Malcolm Rayfield answered both parts, but A.Carlo also kindly answered the second part, so i don't know how to give the points without excluding A.Carlo. but i guess if i can only give the points to one person, it should be Malcolm, since he answered both?

CS3 Bridge Cache Best Practices

I am using CS3 Bridge Version 2.1.1.9 and have a question(s) about the cache.
(System specs: Vista 64bit SP1, CPU: Quad9550, Ram: 4GB, Video: 9800GT)
When and why should I purge the cache?
Whenever I re-enter Bridge and go back to a recent folder of images, the spinning "pizza wheel" reappears for a few seconds and seems to refresh the thumbnails. Why could it not do this once and keep the refreshed thumbnails?
By the way, I just recently switched the Preference from High Quality to Quick Thumbnails and that change gave me a huge boost in speed. The High Quality thumbnails were incredibly SLOW which once again begs the question just above, why does it not do it once?
Thanks
Jim Calvert

As I mentioned in post #4 my thumbnails stay for several weeks (I use quick thumbs).
I have a dedicated scratch partition of 40 gigs (shared with photoshop). My Bridge catch was 14 gigs this morning, and I elected to compact thumbnails and that process reduced cache down to 9 gigs. Compacting eliminates cached items that no longer are linked to anything. Folders that had not been visited for at least a week still had the thumbnails there, so no rebuilding. I use only central cache (do not export to folders).
The point of this is how big is your cache? Does it have to be overwritten to make space for other activity? The only other thing I can think of is that if you are using a lot of raw files it has a seperate cache. I really do not understand this, or what purpose it serves. But under edit/Camera Raw Preferences there is a box to set location and size of camera raw cache. Default is 1 gig, and it has been recommended by some that this should be increased to 4 to 10 gigs, depending on you use of ACR and file sizes.
My thumbs load instantly (unless they have to be rebuilt). I have between 400-800 pictures in a folder.
I am using CS3.

CS3 Bridge is now crashing right after opening

My CS3 Bridge, which has worked for quite a while, has started crashing immediately after opening.
I tried to repair the installation, tried to uninstall and then install again, and tried opening holding down the control key and deleting all the preferences.
Then I uninstalled, deleted all the files under the local settings/application data for bridge, deleted all the folders left under program files for Bridge and re-installed, same issue.
I also tried updating video drivers.
Still crashes. How can I fix this?

You seem to be running two threads!
There a several possible causes. Try purging your Bridge cache – that can sometimes clear it.
Or check in Task Manager to see if a hidden instance of Bridge is running under "Processes". It could have been activated on start-up of Windows.

CS Bridge when opening file shows " Some Application Components are missing from Application Directory- Reinstall". Uninstalled with uninstaller, reinstalled from disc. Message continues only in Bridge not in PS. Please help.

What version of Bridge and Photoshop and what platform? Mac or Windows? I can point you to a downloadable installer.
If the cdrom was damaged, it may be the problem.
You would uninstall and use the CC/CS Cleaner to remove any remnants before reinstalling.

I'll be gone for most of the day, but someone should be able to help you if you get stuck.

How do I stop Illustrator CS3 from continually stealing file associations?

Since moving from CS2 to CS3 I've been plagued with a file association problem. Every time I run Illustrator CS3, it steals the file association for .FLT files (this didn't happen in CS2). .FLT files don't appear in the Bridge so I can't do anything about it there. Problem is that .FLT files have been around since 1990 and are used by a 3D modelling package. Now Illustrator keeps trampling the file association and I can't figure out how to stop it. The .FLT files I've used for the past two decades are NOT Illustrator filters.
Anyone got any bright ideas? At the moment I have a registry hack sitting on my desktop that I have to run each time I close Illustrator.
C.

Ok here's the solution to this.
It turns out that Illustrator deletes and resets the .flt file extension key and the Adobe.Illustrator.Filter key every time it is run. Removing registry permissions for system didn't work, neither did removing them for owner/creator.
It seems that the change happens as "me" - the person logged on. As I'm an administrator anyway, I was able to remove all rights for every user (including me) except administrators, and then change the administrator rights to allow everything except set and delete.
So the .flt file extension key is essentially locked down completely now, and the problem is solved. However as the owner of the key I can still get in and change the set/delete flags if I ever need to change it again.
Thanks to Harron for giving me the hint on the right way to pursue this.
