How do I rate and label files in Bridge CS6?

Fulltime student and a new cloud member. Having problems with first project. I can't nor can the instructor figure out why I'm not able to rate and label files in Bridge CS6.

No clue why I didn't think about this.
Isn't that why we are here?...
But serious, I understand your wish for a big preview but not your wish for clicking, never been a fan of RSI myself
It is a long standing issue rating and labeling are not the same in all circumstances but clicking in the preview window might be a difficult wish to fulfill. There are many ways to use Bridge but if you like big previews consider this:
In the Bridge prefs advance tab select 'generate monitor sized previews' (this should create good full screen previews)
Then either select a bunch of files in the content window you want to judge or just start at the first file.
Hit space bar and full screen preview starts showing (when all files have been cached it should take very less time or real time to show good previews.
With arrow keys cycle through the files and with cmd + . or cmd + , (comma, I now realize I had it wrong in the other post) to increase or decrease ratings. All the keys are adjustable with only one hand and very close to each other. And clicking on a spot does show a 100 % preview of that part.
But as said before, so many users, so many workflows

  • Rate and label both nef and jpg files

    Hello everyone, this probably sounds like a silly newbie question, but is there a simple way to rate and label both the nef and jpg files in bridge.
    I work on a pc and right now I have to click on the nef file then ctrl click the jpg file then ctrl #(1-9) to rate both. It seems like a lot of work. When I use batch processing to rename my files it processes them both so i get a raw and jpg with the same name, so why not with labels?
    I'm trying to create an easy working flow to my folders and pictures. My camera settings are set to raw (nef) and jpg. I like to have access to both incase i need to send out a jpg etc etc.
    Can someone point me in the general direction on how to keep my workflow clean and simple and how to affect both files, because this is becoming really tedious!
    Thanks

    Well, first of all, it seems to me that you are creating a lot of extra work for yourself by creating your NEF and a JPEG. If any adjustments have to be done then you have to apply to those adjustments to two different images rather than just one. I think it's going a little far, personally, to have a JPEG copy of every image "just in case" you need to send out a JPEG. Why not just create a JPEG from the NEF file when you need one? But it's your workflow and you can do what ever you want.
    Yes, I realize my second suggestion didn't solve the problem. But the problem cannot be solved with Bridge, at least the way it is right now. You have to select the images that you want rated. It just seems to me that your are compounding your work by creating both images all the time. If you have a certain need where you need to produce JPEG images in a hurry for someone, I can understand using the feature. But when it is so easy to create JPEG images that have all of the adjustments, I don't understand the need to have a duplicate JPEG of every image. Again, it's your workflow.
    You might speed things up a little bit by going into your Bridge preferences and fix it so that you don't have to hold the control key when applying star ratings. Then you can just hit the number and then the arrow keys to move to the next one.
    Another very simple method of creating JPEG copies is to use either the Image Processor or Dr. Brown's 1-2-3 processor, which is a free download from his website. Again, I just think you are creating a lot of work for yourself by having JPEG copies of every image. Unless you are an absolute masterful photographer who never has to make any adjustments to your images, you are doubling the amount of postprocessing required. I promise, I won't interfere in this one anymore.

  • How do I store and delete files on the iphone

    how do I store and delete files on the iphone

    Files/documents need to be stored/associated within an app on the iPad, unlike 'normal' computers there is no file system which allows you to save files with no means of being able to read/use them. So if you want to store a file on the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports that file type.
    How you then get the file onto the iPad and into the app will depend on what the app is and what transfer method(s) it supports. e.g. some apps use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, some apps support the transfer of files via your wifi network, the iBooks app uses the Books section of your iTunes (and the device's Books tab) to sync content, and other transfer methods include email attachments, Dropbox etc. The file is then found by going into your chosen app and opening/using the file.

  • How do  I cut and paste files on Mavericks?

    How do I cut and paste files from Mac to External Hard disk? I was copying them and later moving the files from Mac to trash and then emptying the trash. This is so lengthy and time wasting process that Apple

    Press and hold command as you're dragging and dropping: that will move the file, in stead of copying it.
    Two other things that might be handy:
    * option-drag will force a copy, even if the file is on the same volume
    * command-option-drag will make an alias to the file/folder.

    Thanks a lot for any hint -

    It's not a matter of exporting a file that Windows will recognize; it's a matter of exporting a file format that Illustrator can import or open.
    A Mac OS version of Canvas is under development, by the way.

    My bad. Typo on my part. I meant one that Adobe will recognize.
    Too early yet. I shouldn't try to type before I get my first morning tea.

  • How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

    How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

    You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
    You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
    The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
    These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch.  If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

    THANKS!

    You can't do it from CS6.
    You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
