JPG and TIFF colors in Bridge CS5 way off, but fine in Photoshop

Just started happening, but not sure if it was after updating to Bridge 4.0.3 or Camera RAW 6.2. The colors for RAW and PSD files are fine in Bridge, but all JPGs and TIFFs colors are blown out and way off. Opening the JPG or TIFF in Photoshop looks fine though. Anyone else having this issue, or know how to fix it?
Update: If I set the "Develop Settings" in Bridge CS5 to "Camera Raw Defaults" for the JPGs/TIFFs that are displaying improperly, the colors and tones go back to normal, but if I "Clear Settings" everything turns to crap again.

PLEASE help save my sanity and my reputation! --I have spent the last five days exhausting every possible solution to this debilitating issue. I have spent countless hours perusing the web for a solution, spent 4 hours yesterday with Adobe customer support and yet, there is no solution to be found. My issue is that the color (in every file format NEF, JPEG, PSD) completely changes color and desaturates in every one of the adobe products: Photoshop CS5, Camera RAW 6.2, Lightroom 3.2. -
Everything was working fine, and then out of no where my productivity has come to a crashing halt. This is the steps I have taken to this point:
-Uninstalling/re-installing all of the software
-Purging anything that can be purged.
-Changing color profiles
-Resetting defaults
-Resetting preferences
-Installing updated drivers for monitor, video cards
-rollling back drivers for monitor, video cards
-monitor recalibration
**and finally, today...I set the monitor up on another computer, OS windows xp, and to my complete surprise, the issue persists even on another pc with completely different hardware.
-I am at my wits end with this. I have clients ringing my phone off the hook. This is crazy!
-I have sent out for another monitor as a last ditch effort to see if something is wrong with the monitor.
PLEASE, if anyone has a solution please let me know. Apparently, the folks at Adobe are just as perplexed by these issues as we are, as I have found numerous posts on forums throughout the Internet with this same issue---and yet none of the post every found a solution.

Location of Camera Raw settings storage for jpg and tiff

Just upgraded to CS3 on Windows. Cannot figure out where camera raw setting information is stored for jpgs and tiffs, and want to archive settings when I copy the adjusted images to external hard drives. I see no sidecar, and cannot find the info in any other file or folder. David T Cox.

Since jpg & tiff are documented formats, there's no need for XMP sidecars...the adjustment settings are writtin to the file. Self contained, like DNG.

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

I just got a new I Phone 4S and my volume is all the way up but the other person sounds far and i could bearly hear them. i checked all settings and they are all up as high as they can go

Hi Flex,
Congrats on the first iPhone. This is not normal. First check if moving the volume up or down either way has any impact on the sound. Then see what happens while on speakerphone. If you can hear ok on speakerphone, and there's no change from the regular earpiece with the volume changing, check with the carrier you received it from or the Apple store you purchased from. They will have other things to look at for you.

I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud. help?

Please assist

You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

Did you put Facebook out of the notification on the phone's settings ? You have to make the modifications also on the facebook's site

Images look fine in Bridge, but way off when opened in Photoshop

Not sure what I've done to my system, but am now having some color-management woes. I am using Photoshop and Bridge CS5.1, and for some reason, the color-management is not consistent between Bridge and PS... although it used to be until just recently. I am on a Mac Pro tower with a properly calibrated monitor (using an Eye One Pro), and all my other color-managed applications are behaving just fine, but I have this discrepancy now within Adobe where if I view an image in Bridge, it looks correct, but when I open that same image in Photoshop, it comes up way too light and desaturated. I have verified that a correct profile is embeded in each image, but this happens regardless of the source file. I have opened up grayscale images with a dot gain or gamma profile embedded, images with no profile embedded, sRGB and Adobe 1998 profiled images, and they all open up too bright. It seems like some kind of conversion must be happening, but I can't understand what that would be. Color Settings is set to preserve embedded and ask when opening for mismatches, but that's the same as it's always been on my system. I understand without a "suite" install, I cannot access the Creative Suite Color Settings dialog to sync color across multiple Adobe apps, but things have been fine for years between my PS & Bridge, so clearly I've done something wrong. It's also worth noting that RAW images in Bridge open up looking identical in the Photoshop RAW processing dialog, so somehow this is more related to TIFF, PSD & JPEG files.
I have used the Cocktail app for general system maintenance on my Mac, and in the dialog to delete old cahce files, I do recall it had an option to clear Color Sync cache (along with a bunch of other caches), so maybe that "clean up" somehow dirsupted my color matching abilities?
I was on CS5 when I noticed this problem, so I tried uninstalling that, downloading the slightly newer CS5.1 and re-installing, but the problem persists. Maybe the uninstaller app doesn't get rid of all the hidden support files, or maybe this is something else entirely? Have trashed prefs files and relaunched, still same problem.
Note how image on right is much lighter, shadows start to look posterized, colors lose saturation. Left is Bridge and Right is Photoshop. Screenshot done on calibrated monitor.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks for your reply. Screenshot of my Color Settings attached. These are the same settings I've been using for many years.
What's most interesting is your reminder to look at Soft Proofing. I normally only use that when prepping an image for print, and want to predict what different paper types will "do" to my image.,, i.e. matte paper has less d-max, etc. SO, My assumption was that Soft Proofing is normally in the OFF position unless I turn it on, and/or toggle it on-off with Cmd-Y keyboard shortcut one engaged. BUT, your assessment was spot-on, in that when I opened up the View > Proof Colors dialog, it was set to Working CMYK. Not sure why, how, or when that became the default.
In all my time years with Photoshop, I've never needed to worry about soft proofing being ON without my permission, so I'm unclear how this came about. I honestly don't even know what the default has been for all the time that this was not on my radar as being a problem, I only know that when I did opt to soft proof an image, I woulp open the Proof Colors dialog, choose the appropriate device-specific paper profile to simulate, and then turn it back off when done. It would make sense to me that the default display in PS should match the (hopefully calibrated) monitor as a starting point.
Several more screenshots below, experimenting with various Proof conditions. This one is a 16-bit Grayscale image, with my usual 1.8 Gray Gamma color space embedded. This was my first experiment, not knowing what the correct default should have been (or was for many years). My assumption was that proofing the same color space as the document (G 1.8 = G 1.8), there should be no visible difference, but in fact there is. The left image is open in PS being soft proofed to it's own G 1.8 color space, and it appears visibly brighter than the same image to the right in Bridge.
Now here's the same comparison, with Proofing set to G 2.2, which should be wrong, but visually looks like a much better match.
Next I tried a color image, with Document Profile as the proof condition. Again, the Bridge image on the right looks correct, the PS image on the left looks washed out by comparison.
Here is the same image comparison, now with Monitor RGB enabled (which pulls my current monitor profile as the device to simuulate). I'd say this is either perfect, or a much better match. This also makes sense and correlates to my suspicion that PS should be showing you things in your native monitor profile until you ask it to do otherwise with a custom soft-proofing scenario.
So now that I think I've figured it out, I leave the Monitor RGB as the device to simulate, close the image, and re-open the image just to be sure, and this is what I get...
Essentially back to the same problem. I verified that View > Proof Colors is still set to my Monitor RGB, but it's as if it's not really being applied. SO, I changed it so something else, and then changed it back, and then it looks correct... as if I somehow need to kick it and remind it to do what it's already set to do.
So, the short answer is THANK YOU for reminding me to look at the proofing setup, becasue no I at least have a kind of workaround and know where to look. The tricker part is to understand why the default doesn't really stick to the Monitor RGB (if that is even the correct place for it to stay set to), and how or why did i get off into Working CMYK in the first place, as that's not a setting I've ever used on purpose.
Thanks again,
Eric

Trying to calibrate 17" screen AND Cinema Display 20"; 17" is way off

I've just bought an Apple Cinema display and calibrated it using Eye One software and calibration device. The color on the 20" seems accurate. When I create a profile on the PB the resulting color in NO WAY matches the 20" Display. I would have thought a calibration device would see the difference in color each display emits and produce a "neutral" profile. I know the PB display will have less luminosity and contrast, but the colors are so much warmer, redder.
I wonder if I should just do it by eye -- as all I really want is for them to be close (and us the 20" for photo retouching...
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

It can be very difficult to get an LCD monitor screen to match an LCD notebook screen because they are, in many ways, like cats and dogs. Because of the need to run for a reasonable amount of time from a battery, a notebook display has to be a low power device. They typically operate at less than 10 watts. Lacking that restriction, a desktop monitor can have more backlights, brighter backlights and thicker color filter material, which results in extended color gamut, compared with a notebook screen. So trying to make two such devices color match can be a fruitless exercise. I like your idea of eyeballing it. Ironically, you might get a better result than a color calibrator.

When I try to install CC, it says to close Adobe Bridge CS5.1..but it's not open. Help!

Help! I can't get CC to install due to it saying to close Adobe Bridge CS5.1......But it's NOT open! What should I do? Is it ok to uninstall Bridge CS5.1?

Some JPG and AVI files imported from camera to iphoto, but not all

I just imported from camera to iPhoto using card reader and half the pics and a couple movies came over. The rest aren't recognized by my iMac, even though they say JPG and AVI and still run fine on camera. I installed Perian plugin a while back at the recommendation of one of you, which solved that problem and I just installed the recent update. I used time machine to restore old version, but that didn't work. I don't know if this is a Quicktime (v 7.4.1) issue or a problem with the flashcard. I tried opening via photoshop and iMovie. Photoshop CS3's message says "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found." iMovie, when I try to drag movie into it says "The file could not be imported: ... Quicktime couldn't parse it: -2048". Hopefully one of you knows what is going on. Thanks!!!

Are you running a "referenced" or "managed" library?
Give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Bridge CS6 displays some jpg and tiff images overexposed--answer

This forum somehow makes it difficult to follow up on my own post. I wanted to thank the two people who provided thoughts--all good thoughts. The person talking about the different versions of ACR got me thinking, and I noticed the little circular icon on the upper right corner of the affected images. I right-mouse clicked those images and selected 'clear settings' and now those images show up as they should. Thanks, folks. But, Adobe forum, how come I had to create a new post just to say this?

You should see a reply button on the bottom of each post, if you are signed in. Look in upper right corner it should say Welcome ______ .
If you are responding by e-mail rather than from the forum I can not say as I have never used that form.

How do I see jpg and TIFF with same name

No flames, please. I have both, use both and I'm not about to change!
When I view a directory with a like-named file but with Tif and Jpg extensions, LR tells me tif+JPEG, but still only shows one. Can I show both?

Steve,
The problem is the same as before with the exception that it will see pairs--jpeg + tiff or jpeg + raw and maybe it will see RAW + tiff with the same name. Didn't check.
For myself, and my colleagues, we have to be able to see Tiff,jpeg, Psd and RAW with the same alpanumeric name. That is an industry standard, and, of course, available in Bridge 2.1/ACR 4.1 and dozens of other apps as well.
So, our solution is Bridge 2.1, and that's fine, it has a better UI, is faster for workflow--though the new Library improvements have reduced that gap by about half--so, perhaps in the next version, this issue will be fixed--or perhaps not. If we didn't have Bridge, that might cut a bit deeper, but as it is, so what!
Mark Hamburg has given a good description of the implementation in another thread about RAW + JPEG. Suddenly, there is lots of Adobe official interaction--THAT's GOOG--but he would have saved a number of us a lot of waiting and involvment had he simply indicated the same name limitation long ago--obviously, this was not a last minute piece of code! Better late than never :)
