Export panel is blank in Bridge CS5

We apologize for this error - this will be fixed in an upcoming release.

Yes, that's it. You need to delete the mediaDatabase.db3 file. . On a Mac, it’s in <your hard drive> ->Library->Application Support->Adobe->Photoshop Elements->9.0->Locale->en_US (or your location). In Windows 7 or Vista, it’s in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_us (or your location). For XP, it’s C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_US (or your location).

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads; the output panel is blank. Where is the script?

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads after my system back-up; the output panel is blank.
The other Workspace features appear to be functional.
What/Where is the output script supposed to be?

If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences. Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 optons.

Bridge CS5 Export Panel Displays Nothing

I have installed the updated for Bridge CS5 to version 4.0.2 and the export panel does not display anything. I can select a group of images and right click, choose export to hard drive, but nothing happens. Then when I exit Bridge I get a warning message telling me that Bridge will clear out all queued files from the export panel.
I have the Bridge Export Panel working fine on my laptop, but my main machine is not working. Does the Export Panel require internet access? That is the only difference I can see between the two. I would think that I would at least see the option to export to my hard drive . I wonder if Bridge needs some services to use the Export Panel that I have turned off since I am not online?
Any help would be much appreciated.

The programs installed on the two machines do vary a bit. I don't have antivirus on my main machine since it is not online. At one point, I disabled a few Windows Network Services so they don't use system resources. I wonder if the Export Panel requires some Windows Service that I have disabled? I could not update Bridge to 4.02 until I turned on the Windows Service titled "Workstation".
I would really like to get the panel to work. I like being able to specify images size by just the long edge...works great for a mix of landscape and portrait orientated pictures....I wish Photoshop could batch process resizing images based on one dimension.
Thank you for your input Curt. I appreciate it.

Export panel bridge cs5 - image quality only to 10

Hi
Is anyone else having problems with the image quality settings in the image options. It cannot seem to save the max setting of 12 it only save jpegs at 10.
Any suggestions, Thanks Andy

I had the exact same issue - except mine is limiting it to a maximum of 8
The workaround I found is to build the export profile exactly as you would like it - and let it pick whatever number it wants (8 or 10) - ignore the words of Low/High/Maximum - those just correlate to the 8 or 10 (or 12)
12 is the true maximum for the JPG export and once you run it - there is a noticeable file size increase and the images are a higher quality.
Once you have the profile built, go into the folder "Export Presets"
Macintosh HD > Users > YourUsername > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CS5 > Export Presets
Open up the file that matches the same name as what you created inside bridge
The file will likely open as an .xml file inside dreamweaver (or another XML editor)
find the line:
<imageQuality>8</imageQuality>
and set what the system set as an 8 (or a 10) to a 12
<imageQuality>12</imageQuality>
save the file and run the export again.
You will have what were 2-4MB JPG files becoming 8-12MB files with a quality of 12/Maximum
Hope that helps

Adobe Bridge CS5.1 - Edit Export Preset Crash

I have successfully duplicated this issue on multiple machines, multiple user accounts running variations of 10.7 - 10.7.2. All Adobe updates applied.
Open Bridge CS5.1 > Click on EXPORT Panel tab > Save to Hard Drive (double click to edit) > choose Browse...
If you don't crash at this point... choose cancel and then select Browse again. You may also successfully select a folder, then go back and reedit preset by selecting Browse again... Crash.
I feel like I have tried it all... clean OS X, clean install of CS5.5 - no luck.

Same problem here. It's really frustrating. Thinking of ditching Bridge and switching to another app. If I can't batch export RAW to JPEG, the program is pretty useless.

Bridge Output panel is blank in right-hand window

After opening the Output panel in Adobe Bridge CS5 the right hand panel is blank...nor PDF button, no formatting options....nothing. I've tried several times to reinstall the output module without success. Any suggestions?

Can I resize to an exact size in Bridge when exporting with the export panel?

I need to create and export jpegs to an exact size: 5700 pixels lonmgest side. I used to do this using the 'fit image' command in photoshop. However, if I enter 5700 into the export panel box it converts to just below it, as it's a 'fit to' box.
Any ideas? as i'm testing. If this is possible without photoshop then we will be able to encorperate bridge CS5 into our company workflow. Thank you

You do get rounding errors in Bridge this is normally 1 pixel less, so this needs to be fixed by the Bridge team.
There are no other parameters.. bitmapDataObj.resize(dimension[, quality])

Export Panel Gone in Bridge Creative Cloud?

Does anyone know why the Export Panel, and more specifically the Export to Hard Drive routine is not included with Bridge Creative Cloud?
This has been an incredible time saver to batch process RAW files into various formats for different uses. It has been in CS5 and CS6. Any plans to include it as part of Bridge Creative Cloud?

It is a seperate download. Look at past posts for link.

Problem with Exporting from Bridge CS5 to Social Media sites

Hi Adobe users,
I'm a new French user of CS5 Bridge. My question is :
Is it possible for me to export pictures from Bridge to Social Media Sites like Facebook & Flickr ?
This topic (http://www.tipsquirrel.com/exporting-from-bridge-cs5-to-social-media-sites/) introduce me to exporting files but I haven't got the modules who were necessary for exporting. After, I do a Check For Update, without results. So I have another question :
What are the steps in order to have the necessary modules ?
Thanks Julien BARREAU
Sorry for my bad english.

You can't. The export module (btw gone in Bridge CC) has never worked properly for all social media. The reason they gave was due to rights management in different countries. It only worked in a few countries for Facebook.

Preview panel loses Color Management after Minimize Bridge CS5

Whenever I minimize the Bridge CS5 application window to the Windows taskbar, upon restoring or maximizing the Bridge application window the image(s) currently showing in the Preview panel no longer appear color managed (they look exactly as they would appear from a non-color-managed app.) In order to see them as color managed again, I have to either de/re-select their thumbnails or double click the Preview panel twice (once to minimize it, and once again to restore it.) Otherwise resizing the Preview panel has no impact on the color. The thumbnails in the Content panel are fine. This did NOT occur in CS4 or earlier versions of Bridge - otherwise the same environment.
I have a wide-gamut monitor, which causes many non-color-managed images to look super saturated, especially reds & greens, so it is probably much easier to notice this behavior in this environment than from a typical-gamut monitor.
Windows 7, x64, ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card, Bridge v4.0.3.9
Anyone else notice this annoyance?

Thanks Curt,
I doubt this is a video issue as no other versions of Bridge behave this way on this system. I have the same preference settings in Bridge CS5 as for Bridge CS4 - which works fine. Nor does Photoshop exhibit this behavior post-minimizing, & Photoshop behaves perfectly for all the OpenGL Drawing settings (which I have set to Advanced in PS.) Bridge just seems to poorly manage the Preview panel color post-minimizing the application window, but otherwise everything displays fine during operation. I'd be surprised if it was just me but if it is, it's an easy enough annoyance to work around. I'd imagine that this isn't too observable on a normal-gamut monitor.
I tried your suggestion of "use software rendering", just in case, but it made no difference. Appreciate the idea though...
One more observation:
While thumbnails are being generated for the first time on large images, they also have the non-color-managed appearance until they complete their generating, at which time they take the managed appearance - but I just consider that a processing-timing final step & it hasn't changed behavior from previous versions of Bridge.

Bridge crashes when I use the export panel (when I try to specify a folder)

Hi all!
Every time I use the export option, no matter where I access it from, when I try to specify a folder to move the file to, bridge crashes.
I can't just use "move" or "copy" to because I want to change the file format as well as move it.
Has anyone encountered this?
I already have the bridge 4.05.11 update installed.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Karen

Every time I use the export option, no matter where I access it from, when I try to specify a folder to move the file to, bridge crashes.
In the export panel at the top right is a small menu icon, if you click on it and from the two options choose manage modules.
Next to ' select modules to enable' is a small icon of a toothed wheel. Click on it and first choose check for update (probably showing non available but give it a try) and then choose reinstall all modules. Restart Bridge and check if it is working. If still not restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences and see if that worked for you.
And there are other ways to save as new file format in new location. Assuming you have Photoshop also active go to the Bridge menu Tools / Photoshop and choose 'image processor, explore the options and set them to your wshes. You can also create an action in Photoshop for this goal and instead of image processor choose Batch and find the action you created

Using Bridge CS5 exporting to flickr get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again."?

using Bridge CS5 to exporting to flickr, but get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again." please help?

I'm experiencing the same problem. Don't think I can help, but maybe I can offer an explanation. It looks as if Flickr has changed their API and Adobe will need to update the export plugin to comply to get it working again. I found this announcement on Flickr:

How to add a Description Column in the Content Panel (Bridge CS5)

Hi,
Is it possible to add a Description Column in the Content Panel. If so, how?
I'm talking about the Description from the IPTC Core data and I'm using Bridge CS5.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

This is the screenshot of the Metadata Workspace with the Content Panel (not Metadata Panel). As you can see it shows Name, Label, Keywords etc. but it's not possible to show Description in that list as a column.
I still agree that it would be a big bonus if you could alter this workspace with description field (even with more lines etc) but what Curt shows you might be an alternative. I couldn't help noticing that you have not created your own custom workspaces.
Try and play with this. You have the option to divide the window in 3 columns max but you can create different panels as a row in 1 column.
Grabbing a tab and move it to a new location until a single blue line appears (between the borders, a bit tricky). A vertical blue line means as a column and a horizontal line means a row. A surrounding blue line means same panel but adding as a tab. You can rearrange the tabs by dragging to left or right. under the menu window you can select which panels are visible or use right mouse click menu on top of a panel to choose.
Sadly enough only 3 columns and only one panel of it's kind per workspace, but you can resize the panels also to your own workflow needs.
In Bridge preferences you can change the colors for background in the general tab and in the metadata tab you can select what info to view in certain sections. Personally I have set my IPTC to view only description, keywords, date created and a few other subjects.
That is the nice thing about Bridge, creating custom workspaces, save them and being able to recreate them without problems :-)
I attach some screenshot of my daily workflow (with the luxury of having a 30' screen) but there are plenty of other options possible, don't forget to name and save your workspace.

Exporting images in bridge CS5

for some reason when we go to export images we have adjusted in Bridge CS5, the only option that comes up is "hard drive".. when we select that we have no idea where it is exporting to. On our desktop we have other options like Facebook, and any place on the local hard drive we can navigate to, but on this laptop which is a new windows 8 machine we don't have those other options. Can anyone out there please shed some light on this issue for me. Thank you, Eric Simonson

I am using a USB cable to connect my camera to my PC. If I take the SD card out and use my laptop card reader it works fine.
Thanks,
Jo.
