CS6 Bridge always launches CS5 Bridge

After installing CS6 from Cloud upgrade, when ever I launch Bridge CS6, it always just launches the CS5.x version of Bridge.
I've tried both 32bit and 64bit with the same results. My other CS6 apps seem to be working fine.
This occurs no matter which Bridge CS6 icon I use (shortcuts and from the main directory.) Do I need to uninstall CS5 Bridge to get it to work?

No do not uninstall CS5.
You have Bridge CS5 running the the background. Open CS5 Bridge and go to edit/preferences/advanced and uncheck "open Bridge at logon".
Then open Task Manager and click Processes tab. Look for bridge.exe and close it.

It asks me to close CS5 Bridge. It is NOT open. Help.

I am installing PS CS6 from the CD I purchased. I am told to close CS5 Bridge. It is not OPEN. Help.

My apology. I thought it was a live “chat”, and I was also very frustrated.
Yes, I am familiar with the working of Task Master, and I used it. It revealed that PS CS5 Bridge was NOT running. Can you tell me how to “get around” this problem?
Thank you for your time.

CS5 Bridge stutters

I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 with no
issues. I can open both the 32 and 64 bit version of PS with no issues.
But when I open CS5 Bridge, the PC slows and my mouse stutters. My processor meter jumps up to 50% and then down to zero...like its stuck...and will continue to do this until I close bridge...and then all is fine.
I have 8GB of memory and have tried all forms of settings in the PS memory allocation, cache sites, etc...nothing changes.
I have tried resetting bridge using the CNTRL command on opening. I have tries manual removing cache loacstions, etc.
All with no change.
I even tried removing and reloading CS5...no change.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have a case open but the PFD response "every two days try this" is getting really frustrating!!!!

CS6 Beta Modifies CS4 & CS5 Bridge File Associations (W7 Pro 64Bit SP1)

Symptoms:
After installing CS6 including bridge CS6 onto a W7 pro 64Bit Machine with SP1.
The File associations in the existing copies of CS4 and CS5 bridge are updated to make the CS6 Beta the default programme for opening the majority of file types from either CS4 or CS5 bridge.
When right clicking ona file from CS4/5 bridge only the option of opening in CS6 is presented
Expected Bahaviour:
I expected that CS6 would be the default programme launched from CS6 bridge but that CS4/CS5 would remain the default programmes launched from their own versions of bridge.
Setting CS6 as the default file association in previous versions of bridge makes no sense at the Beta stage, as it interupts a clean migration back to existing workflow.
I would also question the value in not preserving the existing file associations in prior versions of bridge in the final CS6 release, as there are cases when it might be desirable to go back to a previous version of CS, in which case opening that version of bridge and launching directly into the prior versions of CS is very desirable.
Is there anyway to quickly restore the previous associations in CS4/CS5 bridge and be sure that they are exactly the same as prior to the CS6 beta install ?

Sorry for the noise. I misunderstood your depth of knowlege and what you had tried. I also committed the sin of not testing the procedure all the way through because I did not want to change the association on my computer. I get the same behavior.
Guess for .jpg
Registry shows for .jpg:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserCho ice Progid = Applications\Photoshop.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command (Default) = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
UserChoice seems to be added when I made the association choice. Note that it points into Applications with a non-version specific Photoshop.exe. Within HKLM\....\Applications there is only one Photoshop.exe -- no version -- and that entry points to CS6.
I believe that explains why the browsed to association is CS6. It does not explain why it would be set up that way. Probably has something to do with Windows special handling of certain file extensions. Beyond my depth and tells me I am not going to find a solution.

PLEASE help Adobe. My CS5 Bridge is useless now. I'm seriously contemplating restoring 10.7.

Reposting myself here:
Have you made your user Library-folder visible in Finder?
I did that in the Terminal and shortly after that the crashes started for me.
I just updated to 10.8.2 and that made the user Library-folder invisible again.
At the same time Bridge started behaving properly.
Not saying that's anything other than a coincidence.

CS5 Photoshop Offline Help No Search Result Malfunction

In summary the Adobe Community Help application or the "Launch Help in Browser" functions wont return any search results for the Adobe Photoshop CS5 OFFLINE reference.
I use my main design machine off the net. It's not often I reach for the help text, but I got a wierd problem when I did. I'm bang up to date with all CS5 updates and all the help content for CS5 has been downloaded and is flagged correctly as local and is up to date. (I've even tried unticking all the local CS5 help refferences in the options and re-downloading them).
If I search for say "brush" in the PS help, with the option "Local" selected, I get NO results! (and yet the help text / manual is clearly visible in the right hand pane of the "Adobe Community Help" application). If I try to use the "Online" option, that has no problem returning results.
Q: Why doesn't Adobe Community Help return ANY search results for ANY query searched on the PS5 local help?
The local search works (or appears to) for the other local refferences like Fireworks or Encore. Just not Photoshop.

Hi Zeno, thanks for you reply, but I don't think you fully read my issue.
I'll post you some images and then you can see what I'm talking about:
As you can see the correct options are selected.
As you can also see the help has downloaded and is "Current".
As you can see when I search for something as simple as "brush" the "Adobe Community Help Application" returns nothing, lol.
Cheers.

Why doesn't CS5 Bridge see my RAW photos from my Canon 7D?

I just got a new Canon 7D. I can't open Raw files in CS5 Bridge...it only sees jpgs. Is there a setting I need to change? I have updated CS5 to latest updates.

7D support was introduced with ACR 5.6, which was an update for CS4.
Have you tried opening a 7D raw with Photoshop directly (File > Open ...)?
Are you using a non-standard raw format (I dunno, I don't shoot Canon, but I believe there are alternative raw types)?
Can you confirm that ACR is correctly installed? Photoshop > Help > About Plugin... - there should be one copy of Camera Raw, currently version 6.4.
It should be physically located at:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats and/or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS5/File Formats
and nowhere else!

After CS6beta install, how to I tell CS5 bridge to open images in Photoshop CS5?

I am not ready to do all of my work in CS6 now, I am just trying to learn the interface. But now I cannot opening anything through bridge or windows explorer using Photoshop CS5 at all. The only way that I can open any image file in CS5 is to do it directly from Photoshop in the file open menu. How can I set Bridge CS5 to at least have Photoshop CS5 as an option, if not the default?

Open Photoshop CS5, and launch Bridge from there (Ctrl Alt o) That will open Bridge CS5, and load images into Photoshop CS5.

Jpeg thumbnails too dark in CS5 bridge

All of a sudden my jpeg thumbnails appear very dark and muddy in CS5 bridge. Such images are of normal brightness when opened in Photoshop proper.
Equally puzzling is when a jpeg image is then "saved as" back to the same folder as a TIFF (for example) the jpeg looks dark but the TIFF version of the same file looks correct. RAW files still look correct.
This seems to be a recent problem as jpeg images I processed a few ago weeks ago still dislay normally in bridge.
I've tried purging the folder cache without effect. Thumbnail quality is set to "always high". I feel I may have accidentally altered a setting but cannot think wghat it might be. Please help.

Since my posting I have realised this problem is confined to images from the Nikon D800 camera ONLY. Jpegs from my other Nikon cameras display normally.
That does indeed not indicate to a cache problem alone. But you stated in your earlier post purging cache did solve the problem temporarily hence my idea about this solution.
I still think you should try to move the files to another new folder but you have provided us with very less detail about what computer, systemOS etc you are using and if you have the correct ACR version for support of your Nikon D800 which I believe is ACR 6.7 (in Photoshop use menu Photoshop / about Plug ins / Camera Raw to check which version you have.
Just to say I shoot RAW and batch convert to sRGB jpeg from ACR. It doesn't matter what size option I save to from ACR.
I don't follow this workflow, shooting Raw provides you with all details and data from your sensor but you need to go through them for fine tuning the settings. Shooting jpeg means you loose a lot of those details and let the camera software decide to fine tune for you (in a nutshell, it is a bit more complicated…)
Shooting Raw and without change settings and fine tune just convert these files to sRGB jpeg is in my opinion pointless. You better use the option to shoot Raw + jpeg and use the jpegs out of camera for this purpose.

Raw images in cs5 bridge

I have an old Canon G5 that I recently used to shoot raw images. When I try to pull up raw images using bridge in CS5 I get a message saying that a file is missing; libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll however I can pull individual raw files up using CS5 "open" and they appear in raw as a normal raw file. I read various internet posts that indicate various ways to replace above missing file however not sure those fixes are applicable to CS5 bridge. Your thoughts would be welcome. Thank you.

If you had given us sensible information, I could look it up for you if your efforts fail.
Right now, I don't even know if you are on a Mac or on a Windows box.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

How do I get CS5 Bridge to open instead of CS3?

When I upgraded Photoshop to CS5 I had to do it by upgrading my CS2 version because my CS3 version was part of the creative suite package. When I open Bridge, I don't get the CS5 version, I get the CS3 version and the two are definitely different. I like the Output features in the CS5 version since I use it at work, but at home, I don't know how to get the CS5 Bridge to open and, of course, Bridge doesn't show up as a stand alone program in the Program listings. What to do? Should I try reinstalling CS5?

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Bridge General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
Best,
Julia

Running both CS6 and CS5 bridge

I'm running CS5 bridge but using CS6 tools from the cloud tools. I keep CS5 on board because CS6 Bridge is really useless for getting any work done. I face major pauses when I try to use any of the menu buttons or try to right click on anything. Usually at least 5 seconds.
So I just use CS5 which is very quick to respond to those kind of clicks.
I'm seeing one problem that is apparently related to having both versions:
In CS6 Bridge:
When I set Edit/Camera Raw preferences/ Camera Raw Cache/ Select location
It also sets the same place for CS5 Bridge. And Vise versa if I set it from CS5 it changes CS6 as well.
Somewhere they must be using the same configuration file. Just at a guess I'd say that is not supposed to happen.
Can someone who knows more about the internal workings give me some advice about keeping the different versions from sharing settings?

Curt Y wrote:
CS6 and CS5 Bridge use different cache database. So same location, different file.
By the way I pretty much do he same thing. Even though CS6 Bridge is now 64 bit, it has too many pauses to do its job. Most are related to building cache.
Yup, its way to aggravating and time wasting to try to use CS6. In my case, running CS5, the one draw back is that I don't have access to the PS CS6 batch processor, so if I have need of that, I have to put up with CS6 long enough to get that done. Forutnately I don't use it all that often.. at least the recent projects I've undertaken have not necessitated it more than a few times.
Are you able to access the PS CS6 image processor from Bridge CS5? (Tools/photoshop/ And here you see several batching sort of tools including the Image Processor). For me; when running CS5 the Tools menu does not have a "photoshop" entry at all.
I'm sort of jumping to a new topic here and hope you don't mind. I wondered if you might have developed a numbered list of things one should try when having the stalling problem some users are seeing with CS6 bridge. I would like to take one more systematic stab at getting a usable installation of CS6 bridge before resorting to the long and usually painful process of getting help from adobe.
It would really be handy if someone with your grasp of this tool could codify and distill down a step by step list of things to try to get CS6 bridge working better.
Your respones to me and to at least one other poster I've noticed (I'm sure there have been more) contain lots of different things to try but with my shortage of experience with this kind of troubleshooting I'm not sure what order to attempt things in.
