Files opening in bridge cs4, not cs5

I have all my graphics types associated with bridge, but they open in cs4, and changing the association (in open with...) does nothing.
Maybe I should just uninstall bridge cs4?

Afraid that I might be called a smartypants I still suggest a different approach.
Personally I want my .psd-files to open in eg. Photoshop if I double click them from within Windows Explorer. Same with .indd/ai opening in InDesign or Illustrator.
Therefore I've made a .reg file that contains this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge]
@="Open in Adobe Bridge CS4"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Bridge\cmd]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Bridge CS5\\Bridge.exe\" \"%L\""
This gives me the possibility to right click a folder, sadly not a specific file, and have it "open"/previewed/organized in Bridge.
Naturally this doesn't help your current issue with Bridge CS4 opening instead of CS5.
Just wanted to give you a possible workaround.
If everything else fails contacting Adobe Support could be an option...

Recovered files open in Bridge but not in PS4 or Camera Raw

My Canon T1i failed with dozens of images on the SD card. I used DiskInternals Partition Recovery to recover the files from the SD card. Many of the CR2 images show up fine in Bridge CS4, both the Content thumbnail and the Preview screen. (Screen shot 1) However, when I try to open them in either Camera Raw or PS4, most of images either do not open or only some sections of the image appear. For example, if you divided the image into 9 equal rectangular segments - 1, 2 or 3 may be visible, but the other are blank. (Screen shot 2)
Does anyone have an idea of how to recover the files?

These are Canon Raw files (.CR2) - I do not think I have any other software that will open them other than Camera Raw and PS4.
How about the Cannon software that came with camera? Or one you can download from Cannon.

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
DNG Converter 8.8

Collections and Smart Collections migrate from Bridge CS4 to CS5

Please, any ideas of how to migrate my collections from Bridge CS4 to CS5.
I have many collections and I have no clue of where they are stored or if they are. There must be some way to re-use them, otherwise is a feature that will bring problems on each upgrade.
Thanks
Marc

@jerrymic, look in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4/Collections . Copy all those files to "Bridge CS5/Collections".
I just did that and restarted Bridge and all my CS4 collections appeared.
Cheers!

PDF files open very slowly or not at all.

I am experiencing an issue on a clients network where most pdf files open extremely slow or not at all. This issue is being experieced by both pc and mac uses, computers on and off the domain. Any one connected to the network. Has anyone seen an issue like this before. We are currently having Cisco troubleshoot the internet router but are not currently seeing any issues there. The isp has indicated that the circuit has tested cleanly. The issue is even seen when trying to download the pdf, it just seems to hang around 80-90 percent of the download.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreceiated.

It MAY be that Adobe software slowness problems are caused by having a network
printer as default... with the cure being to always have a local printer as a
default (you don't have to USE it, just have it set to local as default) and
this may be accomplished by using an Adobe Generic Printer Driver

Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
If you can answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

File association: psd opening in bridge cs2 not cs4

howdy
I'm in windows xp
I right click on a psd open with> choose program and navigate to bridge.exe in the bridge cs4 folder
I select "always use selected blah blah"
It still opens in cs2.
ALSO
I have 2 tell bridge cs4 to open twice before it opens (URGH) (Yes I have to click on the brodge icon twice to get it to open - once its been open it seems to be able to open again with one click)

OK so I did a registry edit to remove bridge from the list of programs
I then re-choose brodge CS4,
and now a fouble click on a PSD and nothing happens.
All I want to do is double click on a PSD to open it in bridge.
I'm in windows XP.

Can't open NEF files in Adobe Bridge CS4

My camera is a Nikon D90 and I downloaded the Camera Raw.plugin Version 5.2. to open NEF files in Photoshop and Bridge from the CS4 collection. It works perfectly to open NEF files in Photohop but Bridge is not able to show the files. I cleared the cache already.
Does anybody know, what the problem could be?
Thanks for your help!

Maybe the plugin is in the wrong folder? It should be in the Common Files/Adobe folder tree, rather than the Adobe/Photoshop CS4 folder tree (where only Photoshop can see it). Also, make sure there's only one Camera Raw.8bi installed.

Canon 60D files can't be opened in Bridge (CS4 version); Camera Raw 6.6 has key features missing

I am a Mac user (latest OS) and had been using Camera Raw from Bridge CS4 (part of my Elements 8 bundle) to edit my raw pictures from Canon RebelXTi. I upgraded to a 60D, downloaded the pertinent Camera Raw plug-in, but my raw files still wouldn't open in Bridge. I purchased Elements 10, thinking that would solve all problems, but apparently Bridge and Camera Raw are no longer part of the package! I downloaded the latest Camera Raw patch for Elements 10 (6.6), and I can now open raw files from Photoshop, but the Camera Raw version is not full featured and Bridge still can't open my 60D files. How can I get the full version of Camera Raw back AND have my 60D files opened? I deleted Elements 8, but not Bridge, and I can still open raw files from my Rebel in the earlier full version of Camera Raw. When I check in Elements 10 preferences, only Camera Raw 6.6 shows up, so that should be correct. Any ideas?

The full-featured ACR with Elements loophole has been closed in the newer Mac Elements, I believe. Us PC folks never had Bridge with Elements or haven’t for many versions, already , so have already been limited in RAW processing with Elements. Adobe finally “fixed” the Mac version, too, I think.
For full-featured ACR and Bridge you’re supposed to pay for Photoshop. Perhaps Lightroom, that is half the cost of PS, and has all the adjustments of full-ACR and you could still link PSE as a final editor step of ACR-type adjustments aren’t enough.
An alternative is to convert your CR2 files to DNGs and then they’ll open in older versions of ACR, like the one that came with PSE 8, assuming you can still install that.

Bridge CS4 not recognizing tiff files

I downloaded an update for camera raw and installed in manually and after this I couldn't open Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and now bridge will show thumbnails of tiff files but won't open large. All I see is a generic icon. How do I get bridge to recognize tiff files. It recognizes jpgs, and raw files. I'm using Windows Vista.
Any help appreciated
Suzan

All Raw files are reconnized as all jpgs. I have my Bridge set up as a film strip with smal thumbnails and if I click on one thumbnail it opens large in preview area. I can click on a Raw thumbnail and it will display a larger view in bridge then I can open in Camera Raw for preliminary editing. I cannot do this with tiff files. I can see them as thumbnails but when I click on them bridge doesn't display a larger image (only a small icon) nor am I given the option of opening in Camera Raw. I can double click and photoshp regular will open or I can go up to file open with and go to photoshop regular but Bridge willnot allow me to view a larger than thumbnail size pic nor will it give me the option of opening in Camera Raw. My camera raw preferences are set to "open both jpgs and tiff files with settings".
Thanks Suzan
I purged the cashe from one file and it affected all files(all almost 500 gigs). I'd been working on this for hours. Thank you and God Bless.

Can't open raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

First of all, I use a macbook pro that runs on Leopard. My camera is 5d Mark ii. I have photoshop elements 8 for mac, but I love to use Adobe Bridge CS4 for basic editing. Here is my problem, it won't let me open raw mode to edit. I have tried the updates photoshop gives on their site, but no luck. I still can't open them. Please help me!

If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

Bridge CS4 not using newly installed Enhanced Image Processing Photoshop script

Hi all,
Hope someone can help here. We just added this Photoshop extention: Enhanced Image Processor by Manovi to our Photoshop CS4's Presets/Scripts folder. Here's my problem. The new image processor opens and runs great - in Photoshop. But when I'm in Bridge CS4 and choose Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor it opens/uses the old script. Does Bridge cache this kind of thing or what's going on.
How can I get Bridge to use the new image processor? (note: Old script was replaced by new one in Photoshop's preset/scripts folder - the old one is no longer there - although we did save a copy of it elsewhere)
Thanks

I don't have CS4… but in CS5 the paths to the files in Photoshop's scripts folder are coded into the functions that call them… Bridge reads these files on request evaluates them then runs… I would suspect the file name may differ from what it's looking for… Have you tried calling it the same and placing it in the same location? If this fails you may need someone to edit the Bridge startup script (not a job for the faint hearted)… Sorry but that ain't going to be me it uses localized strings don't understand them yet… Paul R may well say he can do it I don't know… So NOT cached… but possibly NOT read either in you case…

From Bridge CS4 to CS5...

...can we save our collections from Bridge CS4 to Bridge CS5? Doesn't look like it. And why won't Bridge CS5 let me open BridgeCS4, which i still have on my laptop?

...can we save our collections from Bridge CS4 to Bridge CS5? Doesn't look
like it.
You can copy the CS4 collections to the CS5 folder, don't know for sure but
I think it only works when you are on the same system, collections are more
a kind of aliases from the original files and those aliases would not find
the originals on an other system.
The collections are in the user library:
User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4/Collections. In here are
the collection names with the extension '.filelist'.
You can copy those to the Bridge CS5 folder in the same location and that
should work.
And why won't Bridge CS5 let me open BridgeCS4, which i still have on
my laptop?
Don't know what you mean by open Bridge CS4 on your laptop whit Bridge CS5.
While you can have multiple CS version for PS open at the same time you can
have only one Bridge version active. By default the Bridge CS5 files open in
PS CS5, using right mouse click menu you can choose from open with: and
inhere is a list of all applications that are capable to open that file.

Output from Bridge cs4 not available.

Bridge output to pdf and web are gone.
Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Web Premium on Windows 7 64
I cannot output (photoshop) files to pdf and web.
Reinstall with the DVD doesnot help.

I was just concerned that Bridge was not seeing folders like it should . If it looks like the screen shot of mine I am almost out of ideas.
But before you do that also reset the prreferences in Photoshop just in case. For this start PS and hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift and you will get a reset window. It is a little tricky and if you see the splash screen you are too late.
If if worked before and you have made no changes there might be a file that got corrupted somehow.
Just to be safe you might open the keywords pannel and in the dropdown box click on Export. You can export you keywords list to a safe location just in case.
If you have any special actions and stuff in PS you might save thoese also as Bridge is a part of Photoshop so you will have to reset everything.
Good luck and hope you get it back in order.

Why wont my psd files open from Bridge into Photoshop

When I try to double click on a psd file is Bridge, it opens in some other image viewer... not Photoshop. Under File>Open With, there are a number of
possibilities, but none of them are PS. There's Fire Fox, and Microsoft Mail and Painter X but not Photoshop. I can open Raw files but not Psd's or
jepgs... What could possibly be wrong. I cannot find a preferance I've marked incorrectly.

First, I have never made any changes to this area in Preferences. When I saw the suggestion to check file associations in Bridge Pref., I looked through the file asssociations and mostly I found listed 'none beside most types,' but beside Psd, Tiff, and Jpegs it said, "Explorer Settings." Why in the heck would that be there? I clicked on that and noticed I could direct a search through my computer for something else, so I when straight for Adobe and on to Photoshop Cs5, and clicked OK. After that, I could open the psd's in Photoshop and under File>Open With, PScs5 was listed now as the defautl... YEA!... But when I tried the same with jpegs, it didn't work. I put in PHcs5, but they are opening in Camera Raw. Now while I could want that option, I don't want that as a default. I'm totally perplexed as to how this could be happening. I've been using Bridge since it was first introduced into PS, and I've never had a problem like this. I hope someone who is more educated in this area will please shed some light on this for me.
I'm in an advanced Digital Imaging class, and I asked my all knowing teacher and she was confused as well.
Thanks. 7SUS
