Flagging Pentax Images in Adobe Bridge

I just replaced my Pentax K10D with a K20D to act as a backup to my K7 since its features better parallel those of the K7. When I started to edit, in Adobe Bridge CS4, my first pictures taken with the K20D, I found that I could not set any labels (red, yellow, green, etc.) or ratings (1 star, 2 stars, etc.) to them. Is there some option set in the camera and carried over in the metadata which would prevent such modification or ranking? Or is this a Bridge problem requiring a setup or option change?
(I have also posted this in the Pentax forums.)

Good thought, but I don't think that is the issue. I can label my Pentax K7 photos with this version of Bridge, and it is a newer camera. I can also flag the K20D photos on my laptop, the very ones I cannot flag on my desktop (the reason for the first posting). I had the problem on my desktop this morning before going off to my day job but didn't have time to explore further. I posted my query at lunch time thinking there might be a simple explanation like an option not set correctly. I did further testing once I got back this evening. I am beginning to think it's my version of XP Professional on my desktop which is giving me a variety of different problems (right-clicking on a file in Windows Explorer shuts down the application, for instance). It's going to be upgraded to Windows 7 shortly; but I'm living with it for now. As an IT professional for over 40 years, I have seen my share of really weird software problems. This one is probably not worth any further effort until I make the change to Windows 7. Thanks for your response.

Problem loading images in adobe bridge html photo gallery

Can someone please, please help me!? I can not figure out why the images will not load in my adobe bridge html photo gallery cs5. I am not getting any error messages in Firefox and just the x in internet explorer.
Here is the link to the gallery page on the site: http://www.irishwetlands.ie/Gallery.html
I created the gallery as a html file for compatibality reasons due to accesbility issues with flash, and followed the general insturctions. The gallery folder is called wetlandsgallery and it is loading everything style-wise except the images themselves.
I then made the gallery within an iframe so it would be more similar to the other pages on the site and contain the menu bar - but no change on the lack of images!
Having looked around online I think it might be something to do with the bin folder?? Does this have some secutity somewhere thats protecting the images? I am also unsure if I filled in the FTP info correctly when creating the site as I was getting the message "could not connect to FTP server" so I had to copy over the file from my hard drive to the server provider files. All the tutortials say to load your gallery and no mention of what to do when it won't connect to FTP server.
If you could also tell me how to edit the image sizes that would be a great help too, as any size changes I make to either the bin/large or bin/thumnail images makes no difference in what appears in the preview?
Help would be very greatfully appreciated as I am pulling my hair out trying to figure it out with no sucess and a possible bald patch!
Thanks in advance,
Áine

Hello Áine,
1. Is it really necessary to comment out this part in your source code?

Using your source code without these things I could see some of your images.
2. Looking to your website with my IE8 into image 7 (e.g.) I saw this:
what means there is a reference to a html file, not to an image. ???
3. Here it becomes interesting (completely contrary to my point 2.), looking for your path:
http://www.irishwetlands.ie/images/GalleryImages/Gallery1_Selection%20of%20IRWC%20members% 20at%20the%20Gearagh.jpg
I can see this image in my IE8 (some people in front of a "wetland". But still I've to assume (as Murray already did too), that there is something wrong with your upload and the pathes.
4. Allow me to make one brief point, we talked about here on several occasions: please don't use spaces in image, folders or filenames. I'll quote Murray: In general, URL encoding spaces does not lead to problems. ... Whatever the details are, though, using spaces in filenames or paths is a bad practice which WILL lead to problems.
5. What concerns the image sizes, maybe later (I didn't understand your question correctly I fear). There is still my language barrier, I'm sorry.

You'd be best off posting in the Adobe Bridge forum.

Accessing Aperture managed images from Adobe Bridge

If I import images as managed, is there any way I can use Adobe Bridge to view them?
Thank you.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Aperture 1.5.2

What you could do is to create a smart folder in the finder, which shows all the image files in the Aperture library. This is functionality built in to OS X 10.4 -- it's part of Spotlight.
When you viewed this folder from Bridge, you'd be able to see the image files. The only issue is, they would all appear in one long list -- which could be a real pain if you had 10,000+ images.
Also, it's likely that in that case that Bridge would spray XMP files inside the Aperture folder -- something I would be leery of.
IMO if you want to view the RAW files from Bridge, you should move to a referenced setup. With Aperture 1.5 converting between the two is a cinch.

How can you open an aperture image in Adobe Bridge????

Hi...do you know if its possible to open RAW files form the aperture library Into Adobe Bridge????

Export it to PS then from Aperture then in PS go to > File > Browse in Bridge
It'll then open in Bridge... But as TD says.. 'Why would you need to...?'

How can I edit a RAW image in Adobe Bridge and/or Photoshop?

Whenever I drag and drop a photo or group of images from iPhoto. it automatically converts them to jpegs. Even when taken as RAW images. With iPhoto 09, you could do a search of the IMG_#### listed in iPhoto, and a normally-hidden folder full of the original downloaded RAW images turned up in the search. Now, in iPhoto 11, the RAW images newly downloaded DO NOT show up in any system searches (using 10.8.4. It was bad enough when they were hidden... now they are virtually gone.
I want to use iPhoto for organization and some editing, but some photos I want to work with in the RAW format and save as TIFFs. How do I do that?

Whenever I drag and drop a photo or group of images from iPhoto. it automatically converts them to jpegs.
Drag and Drop and Media Browsers access the iPhoto Previews only. No conversion, just the previews.
With 10.8 Spotlight no longer searches within packages, that's to protect the inexperienced user from trashing his or her library inadvertently - as directly accessing the file can do.
To use Raws with an external editor:
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
But there's a kludge here.
iPhoto sends a copy of the file to Photoshop. In the case of a Jpeg you simply save and it all comes back to iPhoto seamlessly. However, if you use a Save As then Photoshop is creating a new file and iPhoto knows nothing about this.
Now here's the catch with Raws. You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

Can't Directly Rate my Images using Stars in Adobe Bridge CS3

Hi
I can rate my images in Adobe Bridge CS3 by using the drop down 'Label' menu. However, I cannot rate my image by stars directly under my image thumbnails as my book suggests I can. The book states: "You can also assign stars directly under the thumbnail by clicking on the dots".
Is there anyway I can do this? Do I have to change some preferences?
Many thanks in advance for anticipated help.

try resetting your preferences by holding Ctrl right after you launch Bridge(you have to be fast, you'll get a dialog box if you succeeded)
Though you'd need to do this only if you are doing it correctly in the first place. With a picture selected you'll notice 5 small dots beneath its thumbnail which you can click on to rate things. If you don't see the dots then increase the thumbnail size by adjusting the slider at the bottom of the screen

How do I stop NEF images changing colour when I click on them in adobe bridge

Windows 7
Photoshop CS3
Nikon DX40
Photos shot as NEF files
I am experiencing a problem when I look at my NEF images in Adobe Bridge. When I load them in and look at the thumb nails without clicking on them or opening them, the images look fine. As soon as I click on the images (just to select it not to actually open it) the colours change quite dramatically and i can't get back to the original images. It looks as if a greenish tone is put onto them and some of the detail is lost.
I have tried the obvious things like resetting to default settings etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Can you upload such a NEF? Use yousendit.com if you don't have web space (and post the URL for downloading here).

Camera raw images change colour in adobe bridge

I have photoshop CS4 and import my camera raw images into Adobe Bridge. When I view the thumbnails in bridge my raw images look vibrant and exactly like they appear on the camera but when I go to open them in camera raw edit they change colour and look washed out before I've made any changes. Can anyone help me figure out how to correct this?

My camera is set to shoot sRGB JPGs and is set to all zeros for the brightness/contrast/saturation parameters.
What is your camera set to as far as these basic toning settings, as well as any automatic things like DLighting or highlight compression and perhaps any custom curves or whatever that is called for Nikons?
First paragraph - so is mine.
Second paragraph - all other settings are neutral/zeroed/turned off, as per my post to which you responded. That is, no additional tone curves - Active D-Lighting turned OFF (why anyone would let the camera decide what to do do with highlights and shadows is beyond my level of trust) , Jpg compression is Optimal (least possible) et cetera.
Think I now have an explanation for the different displays in ACR (and Bridge) that I have been experiencing. Took a new duplicate Jpg/Raw shot with the in-camera Picture Control set to Neutral. Now, when both the Jpg and .NEF Raw are viewed in ACR, with the ACR Camera profile set to Camera Neutral, they appear, ASAICT, identical. Saved Camera Neutral as the default ACR Camera profile. Now back in Bridge, the images also appear pretty much identical.
I think what was happening previously was that I had failed to save Camera Standard in ACR as the default Camera profile, and it was defaulting to Adobe Standard, and hence it was rendering Raw thumbnails for Bridge to that Camera profile - hence the difference in appearance between the Jpg and Raw in Bridge. Unless I have got it completely wrong, I think my problem is now solved.

Adobe bridge low on memory

I am trying to sort/edit pictures using my adobe bridge but it keeps giving me a "low on memory" flag and cannot complete the functions I'm asking it to do. How can I correct this?

The Adobe error is spurious since you obviously have an abundant amount of memory available.
It is possible that Adobe is unable to write to its cache file, a location on your Mac for Adobe to store data such as thumbnail and preview images, and Adobe Bridge is erroneously reporting that inability as insufficient memory.
You should really solicit Adobe's help for this problem, but if you are willing to continue pursuing it here consider the following:
Open Disk Utility - it's in your Mac's Utilities folder. In the column on the left, locate your Mac's startup volume. It is an icon located below the uppermost icon and is usually named "Macintosh HD". Select it and click the Repair Disk Permissions button. It will take a few moments to complete. Many "Permissions differ... " and "Repaired... " messages will appear, perhaps hundreds of them. They are not important, but if any errors appear please describe them.
When Disk Utility finishes with the message Permissions repair complete, quit Disk Utility and determine if Adobe Bridge continues to report the low memory condition.

Camera Raw Preferences in Adobe Bridge CS6

I can click on Camera Raw Preferences from the Adobe CS6 Menu, but nothing happens. No error meesages come up, but nothing happens.
I recently installed ACR7.3. I did have some problems getting ACR7.3 installed. The updater from Photoshop and Bridge didn't seem to install it. I had to download ACR7 and install it.
After the successful install of ACR7.3, I can double click on an image in Adobe Bridge CS6 and it will open the raw image in ACR7.3 in Photoshop CS6.
The other annoyance is that the images for my RAW files for my Panasonci GH3 don't display in Adobe Bridge. They appear as a blank icon
I am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 64 bit
Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.0.399
Adobe Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
Adobe PS C6 13.0.4 x64
I do have older versions of Adobe CS5 and CS4 that I have never removed. I've never had problems before. And didn't need the space so I just left them.
Any ideas of why Adobe Bridge CS6 and ACR7.3 aren't in sync? - Thanks Rod

Ok, everything was ok until I rebooted my machine. Now when I open Adobe Bridge CS6, The Raw images show up initially. But when Adobe Bridge finally gives me control, the images have become blank icons again. I've tried the CommandOptionShift and it does not help. It was fine for two weeks and now I can't get the raw images to stay.
Here is what I see as Adobe Opens the older. The Raw images are viewable.
Now this is how they look after Adobe Bridge has finished opening and I can click on something:
Where do I go from here?

Adobe Bridge / CS6 default

I can no longer double click an image in Adobe Bridge and have it open in my Photoshop CS6 program. It takes me to your new Photoshop CC 2014 15.2.2 program which I do not have. How do I make CS6 the default program so I can once again double click on an image in Adobe Bridge and have it open in CS6?

If you launch Photoshop CS6 by itself, do you get this offer?
If that's case, click on License this Product, sign in if asked, then use the serial number option. Enter your serial number and Photoshop should be back to its' old CS6 self.
Photoshop CS6 sometimes goes into Trial mode and shows the CC offerings. No worries.

I've been using Iphoto as a primary download program for years. As of today, when I click a thumbnail to open the photo, I get a black screen with an exclamation mark on some shots. Also, these shots can't be dragged into Adobe Bridge. Would love help!

I use Iphoto as my primary download tool, then drag images into Adobe Bridge. Just today, when I tried to open a photo by clicking a thumbnail, all I got was an image of an exclamation mark and I couldn't drag the shot either. These are images I've successfully opened and dragged before. I would love guidance from anyone who knows a fix for this. Thanks! John

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto?
As Larry says, your workflow doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If you're using iPhoto only for downloading then you're best off using Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and just keep the whole database element out if it. If you're using iPhoto also to organise, then what are you using Bridge for? Anything you do in Bridge - or Photoshop - is unavailable in iPhoto if you work this way.

I am on CS3, so I can't help you with CS version. But anyway here is an example (for CS3).
I assume that an illustrator file is selected in Bridge.

md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/";
var myCreator = md.read("http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/", "xap:CreatorTool");
$.writeln ("File was created by " + myCreator);
var myModifyDate = md.read("http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/", "xap:ModifyDate");
$.writeln ("File was modified at " + myModifyDate);
// Let's write some info into IPTC Contact panel (IPTC Core in Metadata panel)
