Lightroom and CS3 Bridge: Can they read eachother's adjustment settings?

So Im trying to use Lightroom 1.0
So far it seems like LR doesnt see the adjustments (XMP data) I have added to RAW files in Bridge and Bridge doesnt see the adjustments I make in LR.
Call me crazy but isnt that a major stumbling block in the usage of Lightroom?
Or am I doing something wrong?

I don't use RAW files, but in the case of Jpegs, Bridge has a cache. You have to empty its cache for it to see changes in the files that it didn't make. And to have them made, you have to tell Lightroom to write out the metadata. Globally, it's in Preferences / File Management. It slowed it down so I have it off. If you want to do a file or a directory, you can use Metadata / XMP / Export XMP metadata to file.
If you write metadata outside of Lightroom (I write capture date and digitized date to files from scanned slides), in Lightroom you have to do Metadata / XMP / Import XMP metadata to file. I always have Lightroom write out the metadata before I fiddle with the files and I would assume that is necessary because otherwise what it reads from the files will not include its data and it will, I presume, lose its data.

Colors of RAW vs JPG in Lightroom and CS3

I am confused by this.
When shooting RAW +JPG on my Canon 350D, the RAW and JPG have different color qualities. The RAW is more yellow, or maybe warmer. The JPG more blue or cooler.
I think this is odd. And it is consistent in Lightroom AND CS3 and yet in Irfanview and Canon Digital Photo Professional they they are identical. Totally.
Why would this be? And which is "right" in Lightroom? The RAW? It looks the better of the two, but hard to compare across programs. But why the difference and why not in all programs, just ADOBE?
Thanks.
~Bob

DPP uses the in camera settings as its starting point to view RAW files, so these files will appear identical to any jpegs produced at the same time. The in camera settings are attached to the RAW file and DPP reads this information when opening or loading a RAW file for the first time.
Lightroom does not have access to this information and so it has its own starting point that it uses when you open a RAW file, thus the RAW file will look different than the JPEG and different to the RAW file opened in DPP (while the JPEG and RAW file in DPP will look the same). Most other RAW programs do not have access to this information (Capture 1, Bibble etc) and they also will have a starting point that is different to DPP. One of the significant advantages of Lightroom over DPP is that you can create your own profiles so you can tailor your "starting point" to suit your preferences and style whereas with DPP you always start where the Canon guy says you should be.
There are a few programs that use the Canon SDK or Canon RAW viewer utility in windows to display images (Breeze Browser comes to mind). Irfranview may be one of these which is why RAW files viewed here may look te same as DPP or the JPEG.
As to which is right. Neither, none or all of them. Right or wrong is purely subjective and based on which you prefer. If you never make any changes to the RAW file you may as well just shoot jpegs and that will be right for you. But then you loose thae ability to influence the look of your files proior to the file creation which is why we shoot RAW in the first place.
Hope this helps

Lightroom and CS3 extended

I have both Lightroom and CS3 installed in the default fashion in XP. In Lightroom>Edit >Pref> External Editor, the program reports that Photoshop is not found and in the Photo Menu of LR the option to edit in Photoshop is greyed out. Help me undo this, please.
Herb

Have you double checked the assigned path to CS3 as the external editor for LR?
Does PS work without any hitches with Bridge?. Does double clicking an image in Bridge open camera Raw?. Sometimes the installation of CS3 is faulty. One sign is the Camera Raw test. Also, Bridge will have no Camera Raw prefs, in that case.
Do you have CS2 on as well. If you uninstalled it, did you clean the registry before installing CS3?
Which did you put on first. LR or CS3? Uninstall both, clean the registry, and reverse the order of installation. That may fix it.
Good Luck.

Lightroom and CS3 Simultaneously - How much memory?

I've been trying to use Lightroom's image management features, but need to finish the "keepers" in CS3. The problem is my computer only has 2G of RAM, and both Lightroom and CS3 are giant memory hogs. Has anyone been able to successfully run both programs at the same time (with reasonably complicated PS files consisting of a dozen layers or so) ?
If so, how much memory does it take? 4G 8G?
Thanks,
--Michael

The wording of your question seems to suggest that your setup has issues with running Lr and Ps simultaneously. Disk thrashing? Memory swapping? Slow performance? What is your machine configuration?
I have an Intel Dual 2 Core machine with 2Gb RAM and routinely run Lr (on Canon 20D raw files), Ps CS3 beta, Bridge, email client, and Firefox web client all at the same time with little issue.
And have you consulted Adobe's knowledge base for performance tips?

The 5D Mark II was first supported by Camera Raw 5.2 which is compatible with CS4+.
The 5D Mark III was first supported by Camera Raw 6.7 and 7.1 which is only compatible with CS5 and CS6.
So the CS4 will never be able to open Raw 5D Mark III files.
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
Choices:
Purchase CS6 full version (CS4 is too old to qualify for an upgrade)

Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 5D Mark III Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in CS4

Using vista 64 bit with current versions of lightroom and CS3

Since the new versions of lightroom and photoshop are going to run on 64 bit I was thinking of upgrading to vista 64 bit. Will the present versions of lightroom and CS3 function in the vista 64 bit environment
thanks
Roger Lieberman

I use both LR & CS3 on both XP 64 and Vist 64. They wor just fine. In fact you get access to more RAM. Research your printer drivers etc though. That's an issue.

If i synced my iphone to my neighbors mac computer can they read my text/imessages?

If I synced my iphone to my neighbors mac computer can they read my text/imessages that are being sent and received with my iphone?

For them to read/get your iMessages, they would have to activate iMessage, using your Apple ID/password, on their computer...requires a Mac running Mountain Lion. Highly unlikely. If they did try to do such, you'd get an email, from Apple, telling you such had been done. You can prevent this by simply changing your password.
As to whatever is in your backup, now on their computer, there's nothing you can do about that. But, doubtful they'd go through the trouble of trying to extract anything from that backup...again, requires third-party software, as it is not directly accessible.

Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

It is 99% hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use a different carrier than intended. You have to put the sim from the original carrier or ask them to unlock the iPhone. We as well as Apple cannot help you with this.

Aperature and CS3 Bridge

This should be a no brainer. I use both Aperature and PhotoShop/CS3 Bridge. When I try to import images to Photoshop from my Aperature library using CS3 Bridge, rather than getting a library to choose from, Aperature opens on top of Bridge as if I'd opened the program as a stand alone.
If I try to open images from the Aperature library directly with PhotoShop, it's a bit better. At least I can see the directory, but I can't see thumbnails, so if the images aren't individually named (which they often aren't), I have to play hide and seek to open the one that I want.
How do I get images from the Aperature library to open directly with Bridge? (I can always do the work around by copying them to the desktop etc, but I'd rather save the step). And how can I see thumbnails in the PS directory?
thanks

Thanks for your helpful response (as opposed to that of another responder who will go unnamed), though I haven't tried it The reason is that I prefer the RAW editor in Bridge. But I got Aperture before I got CS3 so my default download from the cameras is through Aperture. Too many programs, too little time. Each has attractive features; in fact I still use iPhoto as well since its slide show options are better than the other two.
Guess the thing that I need to to do from now on is to use Bridge to download. It still leaves me with about 5000 images on Aperture to get over to PS side, which is why I asked the question in the first place.
Thanks again.

Bridge can't read RAW format from my new camera

I just bought a new Sony SLT-A58 but Bridge says the he can't read the RAW format so, I can't download my photos.
I went online and found a Adobe Camera Raw 6.7.1 and a DNG Converter 7.4 plugins that supposidely would solve the problem. No avail. Still refuse to recognize the RAW format.
Desperate as this is my working camera and and need it up and runing asap. I had absolutely no problems with my older Sony A100.
What is weird is that... if I pass the photos in the converter, it shows me the .dng version of the photos so, something is there. Why can't Bridge see my RAW photos? ... and also, leave tons of caches and weird icons in the file, a real mess.
I am on Mac platform on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and use CS5... and yes, all my programs and softwares are up-to-date.
Thank you for your help...
... and Happy New Year

So if RAW support is specific, why do they do a plugin for CS5 and for my camera?
Adobe has released versions of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) right back to ACR 1.0 (which was compatible with Photoshop 7). However, supported cameras vary by ACR version and Adobe application version.
You need to match:
your camera make and model
the version of Camera Raw which supports your camera make and model
the specific version of Adobe software which supports the version of Camera Raw that you need.
In your case, the Sony SLT-A58 was first supported by ACR 7.4 - which is only supported in CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with ACR7.4.
Complete list of supported cameras is here

Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications are listed here
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
CS5 is certainly not an antiquity and the Sony A58 is not a huge tech advanced Hasselblad. I have friends who have big Nikon and Sony A77 and Canon and import their RAW to their CS5 Bridge.
All that matters is which specific camera matches up with which version of ACR - and which Adobe applications are compatible with that version of ACR.
Can't comment on big Nikon or Canon mentioned above without specific camera model numbers.
However, the Sony A77 is supported by ACR6.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS5+. Easy to see why that combination works.
Similarly, your Sony A100 was first supported by ACR 3.5 which is compatible with Bridge CS2+. Easy to see why that works too.
Always read the Adobe tables linked above and cross-reference them with each other. That should clear up your confusion.

JPG files unreadable in cover flow and preview but can be read in quicktime

After upgrading to 10.5 some jpg files (canon 30D shots) can not be shown in cover flow or preview. Also the files will not import in iPhoto (import hangs). The files can be read with quicktime.
If I press 'get info' for the folder that contains the jpg's the Finder seems to crash, and quickly restarts.
If I try to open the file in preview, nothing happens (while other jpg's are fine)
If the files are transferred to another mac running 10.5 the same problem occurs
Permissions seem to be ok
Any suggestions?

My problem is similar.
Create a file in Illustrator CS3
Open File in Photoshop CS3
Save File as JPEG
- Quicklook - Crashes Finder
- Get info - Crashes Finder
- Drag into Mail - nothing happens
- Open in Preview - nothing happens
- Open in Photoshop - all ok
Workaround - Open file in photoshop and Copy and paste into a new document.
Guess that strips out some Metadata.
This is also what caused a Numbers.app file from opening - the document had a jpeg imported. Solved by showing package contents on the numbers file and deleting the offending jpeg.
This is reproducible on 10.5, 10.5.1, Intel and PPC systems.
