Migrating from Bridge CS6 to CC

Hi, is there a way to migrate labels, keywords and collections to Bridge CC? It is impossible to do this to 30,000+ images.

Thanks for the information, being that it seems a not-so-straightforward procedure, do you know if there is a detailed description (for Mac users) to accomplish the migration? It amazes me that my original posting Migrating from Bridge CS6 to Bridge CC did not return any information. Am I missing something here? I am not even sure what you mean by 'unhide them in explorer' I use chrome and safari. Are you referring to unhiding the System Library?
Thanks again.

Exporting to Flickr from Bridge CS6 Fail

I'm trying to export photos from Bridge CS6 to my Flickr.com account for the first time in several months, and getting an error message from Bridge that it cannot "authenticate with Flickr". I've used presets that were successful in the past, as well as going through the usual routine to get new authentication codes from Flickr.com. I recently updated my iMac to OSX 10.x, but visiting Flickr's community site suggests that they adopted a new API that was sent to developers like Adobe and that Adobe has not updated their export protocol. Other contributors to the site suggest that Adobe's position is that Flickr needs to do something. Are others experiencing this problem? Does Adobe offer no solutions to this problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I had to rebuild the file from scratch in order to export the pdf, and the hotspots line up accurately to their originally location drawn on fireworks.
This may have occurred because I began the document with a canvas size of portrait letter, but changed the canvas size later to landscape letter, and although everything looked well and fine, the export was still triggering the old referential data in the file.

Can't open file from Bridge CS6 in PS CS6

From Bridge CS6, my files open in Windows Photo Viewer or Live Photo Gallery. When I go to "Open with" on the File menu PS CS6 is not an option. I know this has to be simple but it is driving me nuts and I can't get my photos to open in PS when I double click on one of my tens of thousands of photos.
I just bought CS6 yesterday. Also, do I need to keep the Adobe CS6 file that is on my desktop, or can I delete it now that the program is loaded? It is 1.77 GB. If I even need to reload PS, I can do it from the store on my account, right? Same for the Adobe file that is on my desktop from the LR4 download a couple of months ago. Also, I left PS6 checked on the download for 64 and the regular PS. I have windows 7 so I only need 64 bit. Why is the other PS CS6 (non 64) there? Do I need it? Should I uninstall it? Also, should I uninstall CS4 and CS5? They are all still sitting there, along with LR3 (I use LR4 now). I have huge and multiple hard-drives, so space is not a consideration. But I just want to clean up a little.

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.

How To import collections from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC

How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
thx

How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
A collection is a bunch of aliases to the original files in their original place. If you have upgraded to CC on the same machine you can use the same collection, on a different machine it will possible not find the correct location again.
On a Mac the path for the saved collections is : User / library/ application Support / Adobe/ BridgeCS6 / collections. Inhere are the saved collections showing the names you gave them. You can copy these collection files to the same location in Bridge CC.
If you have a different machine you best first choose the collection and add a keyword with the name of the collection to all the files in this particular collection so you can use the find command to easily recreate the collection on your new machine.
Maybe someone with more knowledge of Windows can show you the correct path but it should be something similar as on a Mac.

Compilation migration from Bridge CS5 to CS6

I have a number of compilations saved in CS5 and would like to be able to view these in Bridge CS6. Is there any way of transferring these without having to rebuild them one at a time? Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
Dave

Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately I don't make extensive use of collections myself, so I haven't looked into where the collection lists are stored, and I somehow I recall that only Smart Collections are stored as such saved files.
You may want to start a new thread with the term COLLECTIONS prominently displayed in the title of the original post to attract the attention of the Bridge experts to this issue, otherwise your question may go unnoticed. Just a thought.

Reload files from bridge cs6

My mobo died and so I had to rebuild my system. I am running Bridge cs6 on a win7 64 bit machine. In order to rebuild my system I built a new C: drive, i.e., I created a new system drive.
All my files from before the crash are available. All my downloads are visible.
How do I get these files back into Bridge?

vince heying wrote:
I have no idea how to "Use the folder panel to point Bridge to the folder and let it build the cache again." I have the folders panel. I can select the file of downloaded images. How do I "let it build the cache again"?
Using the folders panel in Bridge example:
Or you can do this from Windows Explorer - highlight the desired folder in Explorer, right click then Browse in Adobe Bridge CS6:
Bridge will build the cache it needs according to how its 'Options for thumbnail quality and preview generation' have been set. For example:

Cannot access some folders from Bridge CS6

Only certain folders on my internal drive can't be accessed from Bridge.
I can access the folders from PS CS6 but from Bridge, files cannot be displayed.

Not sure where to look to ensure a folder is both read & write permission. Focusing on one of the folders which suddenly I can't access from Bridge - Pictures; if I use Finder all pics are visible from the folder. If I open a file from the folder in Photoshop I can edit and save in the Pictures folder.
Select a folder in the finder and choose cmd + i or use menu File / show info. This provides a window and at the bottom it shows the permissions that are set. If you are the user and have administrator privileges (meaning you you have access with password to the account and are able to install and uninstall applications) it should sat for both system and administrator 'read and write'
Only from Bridge are certain folders inaccessable....in Bridge the folder has a red circle with white - and message 'no items to display'
This is getting a bit tricky. If you have jpeg or raw files in the picture folder that also show in the Finder Bridge should display them without problems. If you try to visualize a library form iPhoto or Aperture this will not be able in Bridge because those files are packages.

Collections and Smart Collections migrate from Bridge CS4 to CS5

Please, any ideas of how to migrate my collections from Bridge CS4 to CS5.
I have many collections and I have no clue of where they are stored or if they are. There must be some way to re-use them, otherwise is a feature that will bring problems on each upgrade.
Thanks
Marc

@jerrymic, look in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4/Collections . Copy all those files to "Bridge CS5/Collections".
I just did that and restarted Bridge and all my CS4 collections appeared.
Cheers!

"Load files into Photoshop layers" completely missing from Bridge CS6

No options to load files into Photoshop layers. Why not, and how can I put several files into one Photoshop layer?
I'm using Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CC.

Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
I'll keep testing and post back.
I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
Thanks again for your suggestion.

How do you export you DNG pictures as a batch from Bridge CS6 for web?

I am trying to find the fastest way how to do it from Bridge. Now I make some basic corrections with all pictures in Camera Raw and then save them as... with same lower resolution for the web or preview purposes.
How do you make it? Thx

With the Image Processor.

Problem loading old files from Bridge (CS6)

just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 (originally had CS3) now when trying to load images which were loaded in 2002 when using CS3 I get an error message 'windows cannot find C:\Program files(x86)\Adobe PhotoshopCS3\Photoshop.exe Make sure you typed the name correctly then try again' I assume that there is an association with a file that no longer exists how can I change this?

I am starting to get the same thing. I had CS3&5 on my PC/Win7/64 desktop, along with CS6. CS3 was loaded, but has been deactivated for some time. I deactivated CS5 yesterday. Everything was running fine. Then, today, I unistalled both suites, 3&5. Now, when I try to open an image, raw or jpg, in Bridge, I get the same response as the OP.
My file assoc. is Photoshop for raw and jpg, but it doesn't list a version, just PS.

Indesign Missing from Bridge CS6 Tools Menu

I'm using CS6 and indesign is missing from my tools menu. I checked startup scripts in preferences and it is checked. I tried unchecking it and restarting it then rechecking it and I also tried resetting my preferences when starting bridge. Running OSX 10.8.5 and Bridge 5.0.0.39
P.S. I feel like this should be an easy fix and an easy thing to search for but I've searched extensively and the only thing I've found is the question asked occasionally. I've not found anything for CS6 and I've not found a solution.

Yes. I ended up solving this on my own but I did want to revisit it for anyone else who finds this message. I can't believe it had been that long since I'd generated a conatct sheet like this but, for what it's worth, this change is not for the better. Previously you were able to use the tools in indesign to control the quality and file size of the final pdf. The new way of doing it is certainly faster but it gives much less control and I ended up with a 50mb contact sheet when presenting around 150 images
Anyway, this is how you do it in later versions of CS http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS42C3020A-DAD1-4f92-8014-012263F3A51D.
Also, the reason Indesign and After Effects were greyed out when I was trying to use the place command is because I wasn't trying to place a single image I was trying to make a contact sheet. Meaning I had multiple images selected. You can only place one image at a time so the place command is greyed out.

Can't open psd files from Bridge CS6

Had both CS4 and CS6 installed, CS4 Bridge added itself when I wanted just CS6 Bridge, so uninstalled CS4. Now cannot open psd files from SC6 Bridge. What do I do?.

What is Bridge doing when you try to open the PSD file? Do you get a warning, does nothing happen? Did you open the preferences in CS6 bridge and set the file opening preferences to make sure they are set to PS CS6?

Migrating from Bridge to Lightroom, keeping ratings?

I am more and more convinced to exclusively use Lightroom and wish to import folders that was tagged with Bridge into LR catalogs.
Many photos are rated using Bridge and I wish to keep those ratings when importing them into LR.
Any capability of doing that?
Thanks

Go ahead and give it a try. Unless you tell Lightroom specifically to move the photos, they will simply be imported into the Lightroom catalog/database but remain unchanged otherwise. Some people seem to think that Lightroom somehow "absorbs" their images, thus making them unavailable anywhere else. That simply isn't true. The images should still be in the same place after the Lightroom import. If you go to Bridge you should find them in the same place with the same ratings as before.
