Incomplete "save" to Bridge from PSE

After editing a RAW picture in PSE and choosing "save as" to a JPEG and directing the save to the same folder as the original , it often shows up saved in Bridge as an incomplete pic. Half of the pic is neon colored lines and the rest is the original picture. Am i doing something wrong?

That did clear up an incomplete pic, but when I tried to save another one the same thing happened so I purged again the that one cleared up. I shouldn't have to do this every time. And yes, when I click on the incomplete pic it opens up perfectly in PSE for editing, it's just the thumbnail that won't complete.

Will PSE 9 use my Bridge (CS4) from PSE 8?

I've decided to move to PSE 9 from PSE 8.
1) will 9 still use the same Bridge (CS4) that came with 8? My friend who has a PC (I have Mac) did not get Bridge with her 8 and I did. Why is that?
2) will I have an updated version of Adobe Raw or will it be the same one from 8?

Yes, you can still use Bridge. It should automatically choose PSE 9 for any file types you had set to open in PSE 8.
However, you can't update camera raw for bridge anymore, not past ACR 5.7, so if you get a new camera model those raw files will not show thumbnails in bridge and can't be converted by the bridge version of the raw converter.
Ever since PSE 3, the windows version came with Organizer (which used to be Photoshop Album before it was grafted into PSE). Due to the difficulties of porting it over to the mac, it's taken them a while to get it into the mac version.

How can I prevent Bridge from altering my photos?

HELP!!!
Within the past few days my Bridge CS4 program has been making my life miserable. I had been utilizing the program to batch photos from my extensive photo library, rename them, sort them (i.e., change sort/ordinal number), and the like without any difficulty and then suddenly, after executing such processes my thumbnails turned completely white and would not open in Bridge, Photoshop CS4 Extended - much less anything else. I tried reopening them as .jpg's, .psd's, .tiff's to no avail. I went into properties on each photo and checked the "open with" tab, and it noted that the photo was not recognized. I had some moderate success opening them with Quicktime Picture Viewer, but converting them back to a Bridge readable format (i.e., their original state) proved impossible. Having noticed that Quicktime had hijacked nearly my entire photo opening process, I uninstalled it in the hope that it would solve the problem. It didn't. I then went into Bridge and Photoshop CS4 preferences to try and modify how photos were opened, and couldn't seem to find anything applicable. I did, however, increase the memory and cache allocated to each program substantially.
Last night I ran into more problems with Bridge. While scanning both photo negatives and prints into Bridge and saving them into various files, I encountered the same problem indicated in paragraph one. I tried scanning several of them a second time and succeeded; however, I had to save them to a different file and give them dissimilar names in .tiff format. In the process I found more than a dozen ways to spell "Mexico," "Tokyo," and "Ukraine"! They would not save as .jpg's or .psd's.
I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, have a Pentium 4 Dual Core (2.8) processor, 4 GB Memory, Nvidia GE Force 7600 video card (yes, the drivers are up to date), and Hewlett Packard Photosmart C7180 and C7280 printers for scanning. All of the photos involved are stored on a Maxtor One Touch 1TB Turbo auxillary hard drive.
Also, could anyone suggest how I can get the SD/MMC card reader on my PC to work?
Thanks to any and all for assisting me with my problem.

Thank you curt y for your quick response. I have seen your recommendations on the adobe forums link in the past and many of your solutions
seem to have helped other people with Bridge problems. I took your suggestion and gave it a whirl - all preferences were restored to defaults - and the problem continues. I get the feeling the problems lies with the program's interaction with Windows.
Having tried a few more things, I've found that I can move the photo shell (the inscription underneath the thumbnail states, "Window Shell Common") to my desktop and open it there with Photoshop (i.e., going through the song and dance of "open with" and clicking on the CS4 icon, where it opens up in RAW). I must then move it over to Photoshop CS4 and save it as a .jpg or a .psd. Unfortunately, after all this it still won't open in Bridge. By all appearances, Bridge somehow has become corrupted and I'm probably going to have to do a complete Photoshop CS4 uninstall and reinstall.
I've spent hundreds - if not thousands - of hours scanning into my system some 10,000 photographs of my travels (yes, they are backed up on discs), and Bridge should not be negatively impacting my ability to organize and manipulation them as is happening now. If the uninstall/reinstall does not resolve the problem, I'll be back on this forum for more suggestions.
As for the card reader issue, I'm well aware of the 2GB/over 2GB issue. I typically use a 4GB or more card in my camera. I can download fine through my HP 7180 and 7280 card readers, but my HP 1518n card reader is a different story. I'll work a little more on it, too.
Thanks again.

Have you tried resetting your preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and starting Bridge? You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
The only thing I know about card readers is that there are 2 versions. One for cards of 2 gigs or less, and one for HD cards over 2 gigs. Make sure card and reader match.

Cannot print to an HP Officejet 5610 anything from PSE Version 10

Help! I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 10 and I cannot print anything either directly from it, or even anything created out of it to my HP Officejet 5610 series printer. I am not having the same issue that others have reported with the Fax Window coming up, nothing prints at all. It doesn't even go into the Print Queue. I have been discussing (on a forum) with HP and they have suggested using the Deskjet 990C driver. I tried that and still nothing happens. I can print to a Canon Pixma with no issue, it's definitely something with this printer/print driver. I tried renaming the printer to make it shorter, I have tried completely deleting and reinstalling the printer (using HP Cleanup utility), I have updated drivers, tried using the 5610 as well as the 450C and 990C.
This is happening directly out of PSE as well as anything I create and save - so making it a PDF, it won't print. Making it a JPG, it won't print. I can print PDF files not created in PSE with no issue. I can print JPGs not created by PSE with no issue.
Anyone have any other suggestions on things I can try?

Hi,
Can you try some experiments please - or tell us if you have tried them.
1) Load a new image (one that hasn't been saved before) into the editor and without saving it, try printing from the editor. It is important that PSE hasn't saved it.
2) Load any image into the editor and do a Save for Web (you may have to reduce the size) in JPG format and see if you can print that JPG either from PSE or another program.
Please let us know the results.

[JS,AS,CS3]running javascript in bridge from applescript

Sorry for the cryptic subject description, and you might think this is a bit off topic, but i hope you could shed some light on this.
I need to execute a Javascript in Bridge from an applsecript using an Applescript. Bridge only has one AS command: do javascript with arguments.
My testtude looks like this:
set myJS to "
alert(arguments[0].toString());
alert(arguments[1].toString());
alert(arguments[2].toString());
alert(arguments[3].toString());
alert(arguments[4][0].toString());
set arg1 to 12
set arg2 to "some text"
set arg3 to "'some single quoted text'"
set arg4 to "\"some double quoted text\""
set arg5 to {1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c"}
tell application "Bridge CS3"
do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5}
end tell
--tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
-- do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5}
--end tell
You would expect a series of dialogs to appear with the content of the arguments, but you'll get nothing! If you omit the '[0]', you'll get any numerical value, but all strings, however they are quoted, are ignored.
Strange.
Stranger still is, that if do the exact same thing in Photoshop, it works like a charm and you can pass any kind of data as argument.
Any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks!

Migrating from PSE 7 on a PC to PSE 8 on a Mac.

I am unable to find a place in Bridge to restore my backup from PSE 7. I am sure there must be a way. If I simply place the picture files over on the iMac, the stacks are not maintained. In other words each photo may have several versions, all showing as a unique object. Additionally, my keyword data has been written to the metadata of each photo, but when imported the hiarchy is not maintained. All the keywords simply land in one group that is called "other keywords". How about a little help?

I am unable to find a place in Bridge to restore my backup from PSE 7.
That's because you can't do that. The organizer backup is strictly for the organizer's own use and you can't restore it from any other program.
As for your keywords, yes, you will need to re-establish your hierarchies. Drag a keyword onto another keyword in the Bridge keyword panel to create sub-keywords. You can create as many levels of hierarchy as you want. It's a pain, but it is a one-time thing, at least.
Stacking will also have to be redone. There's no way to tell other programs about stacks, although bridge does let you stack photos.

Can't save edited files from old catalog

I previously transferred catalogs with over 10,000 photos from Photoshop Elements (PSE) 10 to PSE 12. When I try to edit photos from these catalogs in the Editor, it will not save the edited version. It will save edits on photos that were not originally transferred from PSE 10. I have a Mac with OS 10.9.4. I received no help from Chat Support and was referred to this forum. I primarily want to edit the older photos from previous catalogs so this is major problem for me. Can any help?

Thanks for the response. No, that doesn't help. I've been on the phone with Adobe for hours and they can't seem to fix this. Very frustrating!

Migrating from PSE 5.0 Windows to PSE 6.0 Mac

I am trying to figure out how to migrate from PSE 5.0 for Windows to PSE 6.0 for Mac.
When I migrated from PSE4.0 to PSE5.0 (windows) I simply backed up and then restored the catalog.
I have backed up the catalog from PSE 5.0 but don't know how to import the info into PSE 6.0 for Mac. Being as there is no Organizer window in the Mac version I assume it is done via Bridge, but didn't see anything to restore a catalog.
Is it possible or do I just point Bridge at my photos and get it to create tags from the keywords embedded in the pics?
All suggestions and hints welcome.

As not many users here are familiar with Elements at all, I suggest you post in one of the Photoshop
Elements
forums down the hall.

Trying to open Adobe Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014 will launch Creative Cloud

As written in the subject, I have the problem that Bridge doesn't start anymore since updating to Photoshop CC 2014.
Instead the creative Cloud desktop application is launched and tries to reinstall Bridge CC (although it is already installed)
All old Bridge version were uninstalled without result.

I have the same issue when trying to Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014. When I click "Browse in Bridge" in Photoshop CC 2014, the Creative Cloud desktop client window opens up and asks "Are you sure you want to install this version of Bridge"?
Like you, I also thought it was an update so I clicked' "Yes, install this version" option.
Bridge will launch from the dock icon I have set up, but not from within Photoshop CC 2014.
Any solutions to this bug anyone?

When I had IEXP. I would save a picture from email to My Pictures. With Firefox it doesn't work. Saved pic shows a box w/IEx & no pic.

When I save a picture from my email to My Pictures the picture doesn't appear. A box appears in My Pictures that shows Internet Explorer (E) and no picture of what I tried to save. The jpeg also wasn't at the bottom drop down box. I could name the picture but it didn't transfer over. I use to have Internet Explorer when the pictures were put into the My Pictures but have now gone to using Firefox. Did changing to Firefox cause me not to be able to use My Pictures for the email pictures I'm trying to save?

Which method are you using to save the picture? Typically it works to right-click and use Save Image As.
If that option is not available or does not work, is the image a link (for example a small thumbnail image linked to a larger version)? In that case, you might try Ctrl+clicking the link to open the image in a new tab and see whether you can then save it successfully.

Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014 fails to open Bridge and wants to install new version

Hey community! I found a few similar posts, but couldn't find much of a resolution.
Last night I was working in PS CC 2014 and all was well. Used Browse from Bridge in PS. Everything is working fine all night long. Get up this morning, return to work, click browse in Bridge, and Creative Cloud desktop client pops up and says something about installing a new version of Bridge and will get rid of my old version. The first time I just though it was an update, so I said sure, install the new version. Then, CC wanted to update a few other apps (PS being one of them), so I closed down everything, and let it update everything while I got a cup of coffee. Came back and it looked like everything was finished updating. So I went back to work. Same thing happens again when I click browse in Bridge. I tried going directly to Bridge's launch icon and THAT at least opened the application. It was still open to the same folder I had been using the night before. I double-clicked on the PSD I was supposed to be working on, and then Illustrator pops up and is trying to open the PSD.
***Ok, so I fixed the association problem with Illustrator trying to open the PSD. I uninstalled my older version of PS CC last night after I was done working, which apparently broke the "file associations" in Windows. I just had to go tell Windows to open PSD files with PS CC 2014 (even though 2014 has been installed since it's release and that's all I've been using)***
Still can't get around the Browse in Bridge issue. It is not a real big deal TO ME where I click to open Bridge, but it does seem like a bug that needs fixing.
Thanks!

Bridge in pse 8 / pse 9 for Mac

Hi. I use pse 8 for Mac and is fund of Bridge. Can anyone tell me if pse 9 includes Bridge in (pretty much) the same version.
Or to put it another way: Would I benefit of an upgrade?

Yes, there's no bridge in PSE 9, but you can keep on using Bridge CS4 if you don't want to use organizer. The only problem is that you can't update the raw converter in Bridge anymore, so you won't see thumbnails for newer camera models:
