Loupe in CS5 Bridge jerky

I have recently treated myself to the Apple iMac 27", running on Win XP Pro.
I previously had the iMac 24" and on that machine I had no problems with the loupe in Bridge (CS5) which moved around very smoothly, however on the new iMac which should be quite a lot more powerful I am having problems with the magnifying loupe which is very jerky in its movements around the image and as a result I am not at all happy with it.
Has anyone else got this problem and is there an answer to it?

For most PCs there's a display adapter (aka video card) that performs the task of managing display information and getting it out to the monitor. Display adapters are usually made by nVidia, ATI, Intel, Matrox, etc.
For your system, clearly someone created or found drivers that would work to allow Windows to use whatever display adapter is in the Mac.
The code in Photoshop CS5 uses the display adapter via the display drivers to accelerate its operations through a standard interface called OpenGL.
OpenGL is an evolving standard, and new drivers are coming out all the time to implement higher versions or just to fix bugs. Standard advice is generally to ensure the display driver for your system is updated from the web site of the maker of your display adapter. This is in such flux that even this month's drivers are usually preferable to last month's. I don't know how old yours are.
Given that you have a rather uncommon hardware/software combination, I'm not sure what the situation will be for you to get updated display drivers.
First thing would be to determine what brand/model display adapter the computer has in it. With XP, I believe you would start by right-clicking your desktop, choosing Properties, then Advanced. There should be something in there that describes the display adapter.

CS6 Bridge always launches CS5 Bridge

After installing CS6 from Cloud upgrade, when ever I launch Bridge CS6, it always just launches the CS5.x version of Bridge.
I've tried both 32bit and 64bit with the same results. My other CS6 apps seem to be working fine.
This occurs no matter which Bridge CS6 icon I use (shortcuts and from the main directory.) Do I need to uninstall CS5 Bridge to get it to work?

No do not uninstall CS5.
You have Bridge CS5 running the the background. Open CS5 Bridge and go to edit/preferences/advanced and uncheck "open Bridge at logon".
Then open Task Manager and click Processes tab. Look for bridge.exe and close it.

CS6 Beta Modifies CS4 & CS5 Bridge File Associations (W7 Pro 64Bit SP1)

Symptoms:
After installing CS6 including bridge CS6 onto a W7 pro 64Bit Machine with SP1.
The File associations in the existing copies of CS4 and CS5 bridge are updated to make the CS6 Beta the default programme for opening the majority of file types from either CS4 or CS5 bridge.
When right clicking ona file from CS4/5 bridge only the option of opening in CS6 is presented
Expected Bahaviour:
I expected that CS6 would be the default programme launched from CS6 bridge but that CS4/CS5 would remain the default programmes launched from their own versions of bridge.
Setting CS6 as the default file association in previous versions of bridge makes no sense at the Beta stage, as it interupts a clean migration back to existing workflow.
I would also question the value in not preserving the existing file associations in prior versions of bridge in the final CS6 release, as there are cases when it might be desirable to go back to a previous version of CS, in which case opening that version of bridge and launching directly into the prior versions of CS is very desirable.
Is there anyway to quickly restore the previous associations in CS4/CS5 bridge and be sure that they are exactly the same as prior to the CS6 beta install ?

Sorry for the noise. I misunderstood your depth of knowlege and what you had tried. I also committed the sin of not testing the procedure all the way through because I did not want to change the association on my computer. I get the same behavior.
Guess for .jpg
Registry shows for .jpg:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserCho ice Progid = Applications\Photoshop.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command (Default) = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
UserChoice seems to be added when I made the association choice. Note that it points into Applications with a non-version specific Photoshop.exe. Within HKLM\....\Applications there is only one Photoshop.exe -- no version -- and that entry points to CS6.
I believe that explains why the browsed to association is CS6. It does not explain why it would be set up that way. Probably has something to do with Windows special handling of certain file extensions. Beyond my depth and tells me I am not going to find a solution.

CS5 Bridge and Elements

Hello,
I happen to have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 Plus and Adobe CS5 installed on my desktop.Both programs work fine when using one or the other.My problem is if I have CS5 Bridge open and highlight a photo that I want to open (right click open or top file menu)the photo opens in Elements 8 Edit.I would think it should open Photoshop 5,but can't seem to find where to change it from.I keep Elements installed because its handleing the photo backups right now.Any suggestions?I'm missing something I'm sure.Thanks.

My problem is if I have CS5 Bridge open and highlight a photo that I want to open (right click open or top file menu)the photo opens in Elements 8 Edit.
Go to Bridge edit/preferences/file type associations and change the defalult program for extenstion to CS5.
And if you have keywords in Elements they can be read in Bridge, you just have to find the option to write files to metadata.

CS5 Bridge Tools\Photoshop Menu Options aren't working ...

The CS5 Bridge Tools\Photoshop Menu Options that contain the Image Processing / Photomerge / HDR Pro features that open images from Bridge into Photoshop isn't working ... has this happened to anyone else? Have you any ideas how to fix this?
I've cleared cache, windows temp files, and moved the majority of my files to my NAS drive, so the laptop (Window 8 64-bit) is fine ... or so it seems!

Did you have to uninstall everything and reinstall 2014? CC 2014 was installed automatically. My program files show Ps CC and Ps CC 2014. The automatic installation of 2014 is what caused the problem.

After upgrading to OSX-10.8 (mountain lion) CS5 Bridge Crashes when opening.

I know others have commented on this "issue". I also notice that elsewhere on the web, there are reports of it being a Radeon ATI issue. I've tried repairing links / permissions, tried re-installing the latest Bridge update... All to no avail.
PLEASE help Adobe. My CS5 Bridge is useless now. I'm seriously contemplating restoring 10.7.

Reposting myself here:
Have you made your user Library-folder visible in Finder?
I did that in the Terminal and shortly after that the crashes started for me.
I just updated to 10.8.2 and that made the user Library-folder invisible again.
At the same time Bridge started behaving properly.
Not saying that's anything other than a coincidence.

How can I use the templates I generated in CS5 Bridge, in Lightroom 4.4?

How can I use the templates I generated in CS5 Bridge, in Lightroom 4.4 ?
It appears that I can not link the templates which I have been using in Bridge for some time to Lightroom 4.4.
Is this done on purpose?
Thanks in advance
Doppy

I assume these are metadata templates?
in Bridge, apply a template to an image which has no other metadata (eg a dummy image ) and then import the image into Lightroom, ensuring no metadata applied in the Import dialog. Now in Lightroom's Metadata panel, save the metadata as a new Metadata Preset.
Repeat for each template.

Why can't I do batch actions from CS4 or CS5 Bridge now when I could before?

Something has changed in my functions for doing batch actions in Bridge. In CS5 Bridge I try to do a simple batch action of saving a DNG file as a jpg and closing the file. When I attempt this I get a message saying 'The command "Save" is currently not available.
I try to do the same thing in CS4 Bridge. I go to the Tools menu and look for Photoshop in the drop down menu but it's not there. This is how I do batch action processing with my Windows version of CS4 Bridge. I am confused about what has changed when I was able to do batch actions routinely in CS4 and CS5 Bridge on my Mac.

Batch using tools menu from Bridge to reach Photoshop should work as expected in both CS4 and CS5. If not then there is something wrong on either your system or install.
Go to Bridge CS5 preference and look for the section Start Up Scripts and see if there is still a Start Up Script for Photoshop CS5 present and with a checkmark in front for activation. If not try first to restart bridge holding down option key and choose refresh preferences. This should retrieve the original Start Up scripts again.
If your command save as is not available check the action and see what the save path for that acton is. If it is a copied action from an other system changes are that it still contains the save path for the old drive and if the script can't find it it provides a warning message.
Also check if the drive you save to has both read and write permission.

Why doesn't CS5 Bridge see my RAW photos from my Canon 7D?

I just got a new Canon 7D. I can't open Raw files in CS5 Bridge...it only sees jpgs. Is there a setting I need to change? I have updated CS5 to latest updates.

7D support was introduced with ACR 5.6, which was an update for CS4.
Have you tried opening a 7D raw with Photoshop directly (File > Open ...)?
Are you using a non-standard raw format (I dunno, I don't shoot Canon, but I believe there are alternative raw types)?
Can you confirm that ACR is correctly installed? Photoshop > Help > About Plugin... - there should be one copy of Camera Raw, currently version 6.4.
It should be physically located at:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats and/or C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS5/File Formats
and nowhere else!

View photo folders not files in CS5 Bridge

How do I get back to the view of my photo folders? I can only see individual photo files, and not all of them now. Don't know what I did to make this happen. I have a 2009 iMac and CS5 Bridge (Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium).

How do I get back to the view of my photo folders? I can only see individual
photo files, and not all of them now.
Go to the folder panel (if it is not in view go to menu window and select
folders panel) and inhere choose the main folder where your images are
nested in subfolders.
If you select a main folder with only subfolders it shows you only folder
icons, if there are also images in that main folder itself it shows you both
the files and folders.
Using the command 'show items from subfolders' (menu view) you get both
folder and all the files from that main folder.

File size variations in Cs5, Bridge, & Mac when opening D800e raw files

I am getting extreme variations in file size when I open my D800e nefs in photoshop cs5, & Bridge. When I highlight the same nefs on my Mac(10.6.8) & "get info", I get another file size. D800e files are about 103 MB each at 8 bit, but can vary dramatically when I open them in Bridge or Cs5. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you for responding. I understand what you are saying. After more attempts at resizing nef files into tifs, and then restarting my computer, everything seems to be ok. However, when I make a four shot stitched pan with the D800e, I encounter the same problem even after downsizing to a more manageble file size. Each photo in the pan is originally 103MB. After resizing the 4 shots to 30MB each, I end up with a pan that is about 75MB in CS5 after cropping. When I highlight this pan & "get info" on my Mac desktop, the image size is 300-400 MB. I can ignore this for personal use, but if I have to send it to a client via the internet its a problem. I have made stitched pans with my D3s with no problem at all, so I guessing I have to switch cameras when I want to stitch shots together. If anyone has any more comments feel free!

Jpeg thumbnails too dark in CS5 bridge

All of a sudden my jpeg thumbnails appear very dark and muddy in CS5 bridge. Such images are of normal brightness when opened in Photoshop proper.
Equally puzzling is when a jpeg image is then "saved as" back to the same folder as a TIFF (for example) the jpeg looks dark but the TIFF version of the same file looks correct. RAW files still look correct.
This seems to be a recent problem as jpeg images I processed a few ago weeks ago still dislay normally in bridge.
I've tried purging the folder cache without effect. Thumbnail quality is set to "always high". I feel I may have accidentally altered a setting but cannot think wghat it might be. Please help.

Since my posting I have realised this problem is confined to images from the Nikon D800 camera ONLY. Jpegs from my other Nikon cameras display normally.
That does indeed not indicate to a cache problem alone. But you stated in your earlier post purging cache did solve the problem temporarily hence my idea about this solution.
I still think you should try to move the files to another new folder but you have provided us with very less detail about what computer, systemOS etc you are using and if you have the correct ACR version for support of your Nikon D800 which I believe is ACR 6.7 (in Photoshop use menu Photoshop / about Plug ins / Camera Raw to check which version you have.
Just to say I shoot RAW and batch convert to sRGB jpeg from ACR. It doesn't matter what size option I save to from ACR.
I don't follow this workflow, shooting Raw provides you with all details and data from your sensor but you need to go through them for fine tuning the settings. Shooting jpeg means you loose a lot of those details and let the camera software decide to fine tune for you (in a nutshell, it is a bit more complicated…)
Shooting Raw and without change settings and fine tune just convert these files to sRGB jpeg is in my opinion pointless. You better use the option to shoot Raw + jpeg and use the jpegs out of camera for this purpose.

'Adjustment Brush' in CS5 Bridge

The adjustment brush in my CS5 Bridge is no longer working. Can some offer me a solution?

The adjustment brush in my CS5 Bridge is no longer working
This is a tool in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and ACR is a plug in that works in both Photoshop and Bridge. If you choose to open a file by pointing at it in the Bridge content panel it opens in ACR using Photoshop.
If you choose to Open In Camera Raw it opens in ACR using Bridge.
So first test both options, but it is likely you will get a better answer in the dedicated Camera Raw forum.
