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.

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.

  • CS5 & CS6 (Photoshop and Bridge) file association fix ?

    My Win7 SP1 system is now runnging smoothly with Bridge CS5 properly invoking Photoshop PS5 and Bridge CS6 invoking Photoshop PS6.  Simply changing the File type associations in Bridge CS5 did not seem to work.  This was "solved" at 3AM last night while sipping a glass of Scotch - therefore it would be interesting if others would confirm my sleepy discovery:
    1. CS6 assigns all standard graphics files to be associated with CS6 and thus causes Bridge CS5 to invoke Photoshop PS6.  The objective is to have Bridge CS5 invoke PS5 at least for chosen file types.  Ensure neither CS5 nor CS6 is invoked.
    2. In the Win7 Start Menu search box, type "file association".
    3. Select the "Change the file type associated with a file extension".  This starts a window titled "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program".
    4. All of the graphic files are assocated with CS6.   For those files you want to associate with Photoshop PS 5, click on the choses file extension (e.g. .cr2, .nef, .psd, etc) and click on the "Change Program" to associate the extension to Adobe Photoshop CS5.  (note.  this step seems to be a necessary operation since, when I simply modified the Bridge 5 file type associations, Bridge 5 did not honour the change).
    5. Start Bridge CS5. Choose "Edit -> Preferences -> File Type Associations".
    6. For each file type you wish opened in CS5, change the association from CS6: choose the "Browse" option and locate the CS5 version of Photoshop.exe".  This is probably in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)/Photoshop.exe.  I happen to choose .cr2, nef, and .psd.  Click on OK to complete the association.
    At this point, you can invoke Bridge 5 and it will properly invoke PS 5.  If you invoke Bridge 6, it will invoke PS6.  If you use file manager to invoke one of your selected file extension types, it will start Bridge PS 5. Other graphic files will start PS 6.
    If you wish, you can go back and reassociate the chosen types to CS 6 - but your Bridge 5 will still invoke PS5 for your chosen extensions since the Bridge-assigned file associations takes priority over the windows default programme.

    Great summary!  I will amend the association FAQ

  • Bridge CS4 - Lost all file associations - On 2 computers

    I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and notebook, Windows XP Pro.
    I have lost all my file associations with bridge CS4.  If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up.  It use to work before no problem.  If I reset, it does nothing.  This is happening on both of my machines.
    I manually selected PS CS4 but at times MS Paint still comes up and if I click the restore defaults, NOTHING happens.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    I have a similar but subtle difference showing up. This morning, I clicked Open on a .psd in Bridge CS3 and got "~Photo~1" in place of a program selection. In some cases, I got this and CS4 as options. If I go to Find in Explorer, it opens. Since I have decided to wait for CS5 and the trial period is almost over, I uninstalled CS4 and did a cleanup afterwards. Now, when I go to CS3 Bridge nothing happens. Find in Explorer says it cannot open it either. So I checked File Associations and sure enough it was practically empty, saying "None" to the vast majority of file types. It even indicated None for the nef files but they do open in ACR anyway.
    Since my three basic file types are Tiff, psd and nef, I got those working by re-associating them in XP. I also have a number of DNG, but haven't tried these yet.
    Reading the links here, it looks like this is a real bug and since it is persistent back to CS2, has been around for a while.
    I expect I will have to uninstall CS3 and do a CS cleaner and start over again.
    This is on XP. I have Win7 as well, but at the moment, only CS3 there. I'll reinstall CS4 then uninstall it and see if W7 is also a problem.

  • Bridge CS4 - Lost all file associations

    I run Photoshop CS4 on my desktop and notebook, Windows XP Pro.
    I have lost all my file associations with bridge CS4.  If I clicked on a .jpg MS paint would start up.  It use to work before no problem.  If I reset, it does nothing.  This is happening on **both** of my machines.
    I manually changed them all to PS CS4 and still the oddd time MS Paint will start and not PS.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    There are 2 places to look.  One is in Bridge preferences/file associations. If that does not fix the problem in XP open Explorer Tools/Folder Options/file types.
    Look to see that the default program for the file type is what you want.
    Good hunting.

  • CS6 beta along side CS5

    Will there be any conflict to installing CS6 in Win 7 64 without uninstalling CS5? I've been trying it out on Win 8 but hit a snag (no drivers for certain HW) and I really don't wish to uninstall CS5.

    Surprise, this doesn't work as stated. If you locate Photoshop.exe your selection is not, OK, it's Open. Click that, nothing happens. Click Open afterwards in Bridge and the dialog disappears. Open it again and the association is still CS6.
    Pretty clunky.

    6. For each file type you wish opened in CS5, change the association from CS6: choose the "Browse" option and locate the CS5 version of Photoshop.exe".  This is probably in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)/Photoshop.exe. Click on OK to complete the association.
    Now you can invoke Bridge CS5 and it will properly invoke Photoshop CS5.  If you invoke Bridge CS6, it will invoke Photoshop CS6.  If you use file manager to invoke one of your selected file extension types, it will start Photoshop CS5. Other graphic files will start Photoshop CS6.

  • CS4 - Save Bridge Files

    I'm wondering if there is anyway for me to backup the files associated with certain Bridge features? For instance I would like to backup all my keywords and collections I have created in bridge. So that when I go and do a clean install of my operating system I can then simply replace the files and have all my collections and keywords back the way I have them. Anyone know how to do this?

    Keywords are stored on the image, so you will not loose them.  The keyword hierocracy is easier to rebuild from the file which is located in C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge.
    CS4 and CS5 are individual programs and you do not need to erase the former, there should be no conflict.  Most people leave the old editions on, al least until one gets use to the new version.  If you need the HD space then that is another issue.

  • Bridge file associations SNAFU

    Since I installed photoshop CC I've lived with 2 versions of bridge on my system.  THey dont coexist very well, but I've put up with it because in the past I've ended up  having problems...
    Last night I freed up a bit of space by uninstalling bridge cs6 and photoshop cs6 (NOT CC - I left that installed to try and avoid this sort of thing). Now bridge has forgotten my file association prefs - and whats more the prefs dialogue no longer allows me to set an image file to open in photoshop. See pic.
    I could manually go through and associate each image filetype with photoshop, but I'm not going to.  Because life is too short, and then I wouldn't get to moan at adobe.
    Can anyone tell me a simple fix for this that doesn't involve manually doing the above, or uninstalling photoshop CC just to be able to reinstall bridge CC.  Why is there no bridge CC2014?  It would appear this is where the problem lies.

    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.

  • CS6 Bridge "Lens Specification Data" appears incorrect (W7 Pro 64Bit SP1)

    Viewing Camera Data (Exif) in CS6 Bridge
    Noc ahgnges to default settings applied in CS6 Bridge
    Observed Results:
    The new "Lens Specification Data" under the Camera Data (Exif) appears to be be correctly reporting the lens type but shows the lens as "f/0" which is incorrect
    This appears to be the case with pictures taken with two different lenes both of which are reported as f/0
    Further up in the same tab the "Lens" data is correctly reported for the lens type and maximum aperture.
    Expected Result:
    Wasd to see the maximum aperture of the lens reproted in addition to the lens type, which I would ahve expected to be the same data as reproted under the "Lens" information higher up in the same panel.
    Which begs the question what is the difference between the "Lens" information and the "Lens Specification Data" meant to be ?
    Observed these results with the following two lenses:
    EF-S17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
    EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
    System Info:
    Won't let me paste in :(

    Hi Baichao,
    Thank you for your response.
    The camera in questions is a Canon 7D (actullay I shoot with a pair of 7D's and the results are the same for both cameras), the files are both .CR2 and .JPG, with the same results being seen for both file formats. the images have not been edited in any other applications but viewed immediately after donwload to the PC from the memory card.
    I have also viewed these and other older images in both the CS6 and CS5 versions of bridge for comparision purposes and see the same differences irrespective of how old the image is or if its been previously edited in CS5 for both .CR2 and .JPG files.
    In addition I also don't see an indication of the subject distance displayed in CS6 bridge, although the option is selected and works as expected in CS5 bridge.
    I will send you a seperate email with screen shots showing an example in both CS5 and CS6.

  • Broken Illustrator CS4 "Open With" File Association

    I want to open an SVG file, using Illustrator CS4. (I have the Design Premium Suite.) I cannot get it to open from Windows Explorer in CS4. Double-clicking the file opens it in CS3. Here's what I do and what happens:
    1. Right-click on the SVG file in Windows Explorer.
    2. Choose "Open With." A menu of programs pops up. Illustrator CS4 is not in the list, but CS3 is.
    3. So I click on "Choose Program" to find CS4. The "Open With" window opens.
    4. "Adobe Illustrator CS4" is not in the "Recommended Programs" list, but it is in the "Other Programs" list. However, I note that its listing has a generic icon, instead of the "Ai" CS4 icon.
    5. I click on "Adobe Illustrator CS4" expecting the program to load. Instead, an error message pops up: "<filepath and filename.svg> is not a valid Win32 application."
    So I started over:
    1-4. Same as above.
    5. Click on "Browse" to find the Illustrator.exe program file directly. I did this twice:
         a. First with the "Adobe Illustrator CS4" shortcut at: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Adobe Illustrator CS4.lnk". This takes me back to the "Open With" window, with the bad "Adobe Illustrator CS4" listing highlighted.
         b. Then with the actual program at: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe". This takes me back to the "Open With" window with "Adobe Illustrator CS3" highlighted.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Additional notes:
    1. I was able to use "Open With" to specify several browsers to open the SVG file. So the problem seems to relate specifically to the links to Illustrator CS4, rather than any overall "Open With" functionality.
    2. Right-clicking on an EPS file, and choosing "Open With," behaves exactly as right-clicking on an SVG file.
    3. Right-clicking an AI file show two instances of "Adobe Illustrator CS3"-- one with a CS3 icon and one with a CS4 icon. Clicking on each entry opens the correct program for the icon, however.
    How do I also fix this?

    Message was edited by: Mike Wickham

    First an update: I compared registry entries with the CS4 installation on my laptop. I saw that quite a few of the Adobe.Illustrator.<etc>  keys were
    missing, and many of the ones that were there had CS3 paths listed instead of CS4. So I uninstalled Illustrator CS4 and reinstalled it. That fixed some
    problems. I also, in Windows Explorer, used Tools> Folder Options> File Types to change Illustrator CS4 to the default program to open AI, EPS, and
    SVG files. I chose "Advanced" and "Edit" in the File Type dialog and noticed that some of the entries for open were missing the "Open" action. So I fixed that.
    I've got the AI, EPS, and SVG files where I can open them with the correct programs now, but there are still some weirdities using right-click and Open With:
    For AI files:
        There are two instances of Adobe Illustrator CS3 listed. One has a CS3 icon. The other has the CS4 icon. The AI file opens with the program
    associated with the icon. If I choose Open With, then "Other Programs, there is a listing for Adobe Illustrator CS4, but it has a generic window icon and does not work. I get the "<path><filename>.ai is not a valid Win32 application" error.
    For EPS files:
      There are also two entries for Adobe Illustrator CS3, again one with a CS3 icon and one with a CS4 icon. Again they both open the program that matches the icon. There is also an Adobe Illustrator CS4 listed, but it has the shortcut icon for CS4 (the one with the arrow). It opens CS4. If I choose
    Other Programs, the non-working, generic icon Adobe Illustrator CS4 is also listed.
    For SVG files:
      There are also two Adobe Illustrator CS3 listings, one with a CS3 icon and one with a CS4 icon. There is also an Adobe Illustrator CS4 listed, but with the shortcut version of the icon. They all open the program associated with the icon shown. If I choose Other Programs, the listings and icons under "Recommended Programs" are correct for both CS3 and CS4, plus there is a CS4 listing with the generic icon.
    Is there any way to fix this stuff without uninstalling/reinstalling the whole Design Premium suite? While the reinstall of Illustrator CS4 did fix
    some things, it also broke some. It reinstalled a bunch of ancillary programs, like ExtendScript that I didn't tell it to reinstall. I ran Adobe
    update and now ExtendScript and and Adobe Drives service update fail to update. I ran the update from Acrobat. Looking in Illustrator, the update
    button is grayed out and completely unavailable.

  • Cs5 bridge file opens up into HP mediasmart

    I have just installed Photoshop cs5, i started to browse through my photos in bridge and when double clicking on the photo, instead of loading into photoshop it loads into HP mediasmart instead. I can't find a way to stop this. If i right click on the photo it lists as the default being HP mediasmart but this is greyed out so i cannot change. I am set as the administrator of the computer so its not a permissions issue. Has anybody any thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Brett, i originally looked at the photoshop preferences not the bridge. Thanks for you help

  • Acrobat CS3 extended constantly tries to 'reinstall' when selecting files in Vista Pro 64bit

    Man this is truly annoying. When I select a file in win explorer I often get the 'Windows must install or reconfigure Acrobat blah, blah, blah' when I wasn't trying to open it in the first place. This has been doing this sporatically ever since I got the software in '08. Now it's doing it constantly. I have reinstalled this program a number of times and it just keeps doing it. Plus why does it have to reinstall when I actively select the shortcut to start the program specifically? This doesn't happen on my XP machines or my Win7 machine. Only in Vista. Anyone got any ideas other than 'reinstall' or upgrade to Win7?

    Thank you for your input.
    When my company purchased Adobe's Master Collection CS3 Acrobat 8 Professional came with it. I may have made a mistake in my nomenclature but that still does not change the fact that every time someone right clicks within a file window in Vista Pro, Acrobat starts up and tries to reinstall. If you have some helpful input as to how this may be corrected, we are interested in hearing it.

  • Cs6 install, file association windows7

    installed cs6 apps from the cloud including bridge.  How come it hasn't taken over the file assocations from cs5?  (I have all my adobe filetypes set to open in bridge). Woudn't it make sense to make the installer check and ask if we wanted cs6 to take over those associations?
    Is there a quick way to get all adobe filetypes to open in bridge cs6 or am I going to have to do it manually?

    There is no exchange of setting between versions, they are independant.
    CS6 should set its file associations automatically.  You can try pressing the radio button to "reset to default associations".
    If you uninstalled CS5 after you installed CS6 you may have corrupted your file associations.

  • File Association conflict between CS6 and CC 2014

    I have both CS6 and CC2014 loaded on my computer.
    I want to use CS6 for file associations, but I am being prevented from doing so by CC2014 which pre-emts CS6 and blocks me from changing file associations for .jpg files etc. in Windows 7. How do I fix this?

    Are you sure?  I just had a quick look, and by taking the usual route or right clicking a JPG and choosing Open With > Choose Default program, I was able to browse to the pre 2014 version of Photoshop, and assign it.  I don't have CS6 installed at the moment, but I can't think why it shouldn't work the same way.

  • FAQ: What are the known issues so far in Photoshop CS6 Beta

    APPLICATION  COEXISTENCE
    Lightroom 4 Beta + Photoshop CS6 beta -- Editing the same video file simultanously in both applications may result in an error, crash, or blank (transparent) frames. You might see this Photoshop error: "Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder".
    This will only be an issue with Lightroom 4 beta and Photoshop CS6 beta on the same system, editing the same video. The released versions will not have this issue.
    Workaround: Upgrade to LR Release version (even if it's just the trial), or don't open the same file in both apps at the same time.
    CS5 Help fails to launch after install of CS6
    Workaround: Launch the stand alone "Adobe Help" application or reinstall CS5
    CROP
    Crop action shows wrong crop box.Playing an action with a crop step that has dialogs turned on results in a crop box that covers the entire canvas instead of the expected area.
                    Workaround: Ensure that the Crop Tool is selected before running the action or disable dialogs for the action.
    FILTERS
    (32bit OS only) Initial "Merge to HDR Pro" image display and result is black until settings are changed
    Workaround: It will remain black until droplist in the "mode" line is selected, changed and activated, then action appears to be normal.
    Bokeh color is different from preview after render at certain zoom levels on particular image patterns
    Workaround: View image at 100%
    Lighting effects bump map generates artifacts if an alpha channel bump map is used. The resulting preview and final image is artifacted across the gradiated areas of the alpha channel.
                   Workaround: Do not use a gradiated alpha channel as a bump map
    Liquify will perform the filter and save to just part of the photo if you click cancel while it is "finishing processing" a large file.
    LAYERS
    If a vector layer has a center-aligned stroke combined with an inside-aligned layer style stroke, then that vector layer's stroke may not display correctly -- part of the vector layer stroke will disappear as the layer is moved around the image.
    Workaround: Use the "Path Selection Tool" to move your vector around -- alternatively, Change the stroke alignment or remove underlying layers.
    Dragging a selection box while layer filters are applied stops marquee selection from following cursor movement
    Workaround: Even though the graphic of the selection marquee stops, the selection still happens. OR Turn off layer filtering before targeting the layers using a selection box
    TYPE
    Editing text attributes in the Character panel when the layer is locked can result in a crash
    Workaround: Unlock your text layer prior to attribute adjustments in the Character panel
    Setting the menu type>font>preview size to "huge" after opening a saved file caused photoshop to crash
    Workaround: Uncheck Background save in Photoshop CS6
    Style by example or definition not working as expected:
    If any attribute in the Paragraph Panel is set and you create a new Paragraph Style, the new style is based on the default and the override is not cleared.
    DRAWING AND PAINTING
    Paint is offset with Grip Pen- if you select the Soft Low Density Airbrush Preset with Grip Pen paint with swicth facing right with a high tilt towards you the cursor shows the spray should be going up, but it sprays down.
    3-D
    Creating a video timeline and rendering video from two 3D layers may not include ground plane reflections
    Workaround: Use mesh for ground plane instead of 3D engines construct, or duplicate the file and remove the keyframes
    Creating a New background texture after changing lighting presets results in crash
    Workaround: Create the New background texture prior to adjusting lighting presets
    Unable to create a constraint on extruded object with Pillow Inflate setting applied. Further actions may result in Photoshop instability or crash.
    Photoshop may crash when trying to align/distribute constraints from selections of two 3-D extruded objects
    Photoshop may not always save a texture when you paint directly onto the 3d object using Paint on Target Texture setting.
    Photoshop may crash when selecting a different panel filter after the focus has been on 2 fields in the environment flyout with IBL map present
    Photoshop may crash after embedding a 3D layer into a layer group, creating a new 3d object in the group, and then closing the document.
    When changing the color of the lines or points in the 3D scene cross section from the Properties panel, side b color overwrites the color in side A.
    Program Error when adjusting fill value in Layers panel while in Lighting Effects workspace.
    Workaround:You will have to use opacity slider instead of fill slider to pull back the lighting effect
    PLUGINS
    DUPLICATE PLUGINS CAUSE ISSUES ON MAC:
    If you install duplicate plugins or point the additional plugins folder preferences to a duplicate set of plugins (such as, to an older version of Photoshop), then it is possible for odd Photoshop behavior, such as an inappropriate file extension to appear when saving files.
    (example: while performing a "save as"  to JPEG file type, the file format appears to change to .dcm)
    In this case, there may be a duplicate "file formats" plugin that's populating the Save As file types list with duplicates of the same options.
    If there are duplicate file format plugins installed, the Mac OS will remove the duplicates from the list, but you may still see the odd saving behavior.
    Solution:
    Remove the duplicate plugins.
    If you are not sure if you have this issue, but are seeing odd behavior, you can check for duplicates by looking through the plugins listed in the Help > System Info dialog.
    Bridge
    Unable to Copy and Paste in File info in Bridge
    Workaround: Typing info in Manually works, or copy and paste work in Photoshop's File Info dialog
    Install
    Adobe Setup Utility may quit, or error during install. You may see error: "Exit Code: 15"
    Workaround: Create a folder named 'Templates' at "<Windows drive>:\Users\<current user login id>\AppData\Roaming\Micorsoft\Windows\"
    Message saying trial of PS CS6 beta expired,Content coming soon, stay tuned.
    Workaround: re-launch photoshop CS6 beta. This issue should not happen anymore

    1. You can get full support for your camera by upgrading to Lightroom 4. But personally, I would wait for Lightroom 5 since it will be released shortly, probably within the next month. Lightroom 5 will work with Photoshop CS5. The only difference is that Lightroom will need to create a TIF or PSD file that contains all the changes you have made in Lightroom. That's not a big deal, in my opinion. That file has to be created at some point anyway whenever you use Photoshop.
    2. Yes, Lightroom 4 will pass images back and forth between it and Photoshop.
    3.  The upgrade would not break Lightroom 3. It would essentially work the same as it does with your current setup.
    4. If you purchase CS6 it is my understanding you will be allowed to use it indefinitely. This is not true of the Creative Cloud version. Support and updating for additional cameras will cease for CS6. Adobe has announced that they will make Camera Raw 8.1 so that it can be usable with CS6 as far as reading Lightroom adjustments. But any new controls will not be accessible.
    5. So far, Adobe has indicated that they have no plans to making Lightroom a subscription-only offering.
    You are asking your questions as though you are addressing Adobe directly. This is a User-to-user forum. I don't work for nor do I speak for Adobe. I am only giving you the information as I understand it. It seems to me that upgrading to Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 is a "safe" choice. None of us, not even Adobe, really knows what the future will bring. Technology changes so quickly anymore that everything we are doing right now could be obsolete in a matter of a very short period of time. As Adobe changes their marketing strategies I think it will probably motivate some people to look elsewhere. I have Photoshop CS6 and I'm going to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Then I will have to wait and see what develops after that. At any rate, I have tools that I can use for the foreseeable future. If I have to change at some point then I will do so.

  • Upgraded Adobe LR 4.1, CS6 Beta & got the Canon 5D Mark III, WHEN is next dot release Camera Raw?

    I Purchased the Upgraded Adobe LR 4.1, CS6 Beta & got the Canon 5D Mark III, Mac Pro server update to Lion, WHEN is next dot release Camera Raw? My workflow has trippled in time because of this issue. I'm so frustrated with having to convert images in a slowed up piece of crap canon software package and then wait another decade for the newest LR to load the images I could crap fire! Come on Adobe, where's the release? After a few grand you'd think we'd get a better response time. As for Canon, they are not consistant with community software sharing and can kiss my *!! because to leave Adobe hanging sux!
    There should be new laws that penalize jerks that screw with workflow!
