Mini bridge in CS6 Photoshop displaying grey thumbnails

Hello,
I"m on a MAC platform and working with CS6 Photoshop with minibridge (thumbnails preview at the bottom). When I preview the images, the thumbnails are all grey.
Does anyone has an answer to switch back to normal view.
Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for replying to this discussion. The grey thumbnail preview occurs only in minibridge when I launched Photoshop CS6, not the case with the regular bridge. I can preview thumbnails with images in the regular bridge. Nonetheless, I've tried purging cache but to no avail, grey thumbnails still displaying in the mini bridge.
Thanks,
sntm

Unable to launch mini bridge in CS6

With PS and Bridge open, I'm unable to open mini bridge. Get a display saying 'Waiting for Bridge CS6'... Running on Mac OSX 10.7.4 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, RAM 4GB.
Anyone got any idea what's wrong?

From Mac 10.7 onwards the library folder under Users was hidden, please find the instruction to navigate there.

I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried to start the bridge CS6 then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
I have a problem on windows too. Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel. I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
I can also start Bridge CS6 before Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

Minimizing Mini-Bridge & Timeline in Photoshop CS6

Quick question that I can't figure out. How do I minimize the Mini-Bridge and Timeline in Photoshop CS6? I have draged the window section as far down as possible. But, I have seen some PS6 screenshots were the timeline and mini-bridge lay flush with the bottom of the screen. And, once I do minimize them, how do I bring them back up again?
Thanks!
Kirsten

Hello again!
Have you tried double-clicking on the panel tabs? Tha tabs display the names of the panels (Timeline and Mini-Bridge)
This should minimize the panels - to open them, you can just double click the tabs again.
Please post again if you have additional questions
Cheers!

I don't have Mini Bridge in my Photoshop

So I was making a GIF project and found out that I needed to use Mini Bridge but I don't have it in the tabs on the right side of Photoshop.
I tried going to Windows to open it through Extentions but it was greyed out. And I also went to Edit>Preferences to go open up startup scripts but the only things there was Interface, File Handling, Performance, Cursors, Transparency & Gamut, Units & Rulers, Guides Grid & Slices, Plug-in, and Type.
Can anyone please help me? It would be much appreciated

When I use Browse in Bridge it says
Error 2: Photoshop is Undefined
Line: 1
-> photoshop.invokeBridge[false, false, ");
And my Browse in Mini Bridge is Grayed out

Unable to Open Full and Mini Bridge in CS6

I recently purchased the Student & Mac edition of CS6 and installed it on my Mac OS X 10.7.5. I'm entirely new to CS and was following some video tutorials online, when I discovered that both the full and mini bridge components will not open. If I try to open mini bridge in Photoshop, I get a message "Waiting for Bridge CS6." If I attempt to open Bridge through the file dropdown or from the application file itself, I get an error message that says the operation cannot be completed.
I followed all of Adobe's recommendations here with no success: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-waiting-for-bridge-cs5.html I have searched this forum as well, but a similar post was solved by uninstalling a previous version of CS, which is not applicable to me.
Does anyone have any additional suggestions for me? Please let me know if I can provide additional information that is helpful. Thank you very much.

If you also tried a new user account for testing and it did not work there then it indicates you have a false install or install DVD, you might want to use the official uninstaller for Adobe, then use the cleaner tool:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Read the instructions before acting and make sure you deactivate first and have the correct serial number at hand!
And then make sure you have a legal copy of your install DVD / download installer.
Also before reinstall it might be wise to first run a check and repair permissions using your Apple Disk Utilty (Applications/ Utilities /Apple Disk Utility)
Then try again to install.

How do I toggle Mini Bridge in my Photoshop?

I am a student and in my video lectures it shows instructions using the bottom Mini Bridge menu and I cannot get this feature to show in my Photoshop. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Mini Bridge in CS6 InDesign won't sort files

I am running CS6 on Snow Leopard.
When I open the mini bridge panel in InDesign I can't sort any files in the Nav Pod. It has no effect on the file sort.
I have updated the CS software and reset my bridge preferences. Do you have any other suggestions?
Bridge works fine.

I have 8 MB of RAM. I restarted all the software, but not my computer.
It is in the left column that I am having the problem.
There was a previous discussion thread where a user on Mountain Lion was having the same issue, but it wasn't resolved in that discussion thread either.

Bridge CS4 doesn't display PNG thumbnails?

I just did a reformat, and this time round my bridge isn't displaying .png thumbnails. Have emptied caches and reset preferences to no avail. Help? Thanks

I just did a reformat, and this time round my bridge isn't displaying .png thumbnails.
Could you be a bit more specific about what OS system you are using, what your exact version of Bridge is and what you mean with doing a reformat, does that mean a whole new system on a completely new formatted disk (and what type of formatting did you use for that) etc.
And did you already try to select a PNG file and use right mouse click to purge cache for selection.
Does the PNG icon appear or is it a white thumb?
Questions, all questions...

Item appears twice in Mini Bridge InDesign CS6

One of our guys here keeps seeing duplicate items in Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6. When looking at the folder in Bridge, Finder or Windows Explorer, we can see just one of each image in there, but looking at the folder via Mini Bridge shows one or two of the images in duplicate.
It seems it doesn't matter which of the duplicates he drags on the page, either of them works fine. But it is cluttering up his Mini Bridge panel and he's worried that he might accidentally delete items by trying to get rid of the duplicates.
It only affects this one user. I've suggested deleting his InDesign preference files it's not fixing the problem.
Any suggestions? I have to say that Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6 has been surprisingly problematic compared with CS5. I wish Adobe had left it alone.
Ali

I suspect the problem is in Bridge, not ID.
Try clearing the Bridge caches or, if that doesn't work, resetting the Bridge prefs. On my Windows system you can do either of those by holding down Ctrl + Alt + Shift as Bridge starts up. On Mac I presume Cmd + Control + Opt + Shift would work the same.

Opening files through mini bridge, from within photoshop.

When opening files/images from within photoshop use adobe mini bridge, the files open slowly with a long delay?
Can't figure out why, but when files are open directly from photoshop it is lightning fast.
Running on a iMac OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2

Okay.. Yeah, that's why I'm running Windows 7 still
This may have to do with some of the bugs Apple introduced into Yosemite. They are working on a fix. Can't really think of much else, other than make sure everything is up to date. Maybe someone with more knowledge of Mini Bridge will find this post.

Mini Bridge PS CS6 "Waiting for Bridge"? mac os x 10.8.3

Mini bridge says "waiting for Bridge" II removed /library/application Support/Adobe/Switchborard folder and alo the switch board preference file in home directory, restarted computer, etc and message changed from "no items found" to "Waiting for Bridge"

Hi Curt Y, Thanks for replaying, it actually "Quits unexpectedly", which one is the option botton?, I tried, cmd + shift, and cmd, shift + ctrl, didn't work.
I'm working on a project in which I have to name several pictures, and I just drag them into a template in PSD and change the name, could the amount of images I'm working have something to the with the quitting?
Thanks again!

Bridge "stops working" and displays split thumbnails and previews.

When working with Windows XP, my Photoshop/Bridge CS3 was working fine. On my new computer with Vista, Bridge acts up in strange ways. It sometimes shuts down spontaneously, causing a Windows "Bridge has stopped working" message to appear.
At other times, Bridge displays thumbnails that are split or only half there, with the preview image also split in half with the sides reversed. If I wait a few minutes, the proper thumbnails and preview finally appear, but this is a nuisance. BTW, the same copy of Bridge works just fine on my laptop with XP. When I contacted Adobe, they blamed it on Windows. When I contacted Windows, they blamed it on Adobe. Anyone with similar problems and suggested fix?
Thanks!

Hi Gerry,
as it is nearly two months since your initial post, you may have already solved your problem. In which case I'll continue with this reply for the benefit of anyone else who suffers the same affliction:
My problem was Bridge CS3 running on a 32-bit Vista Home Premium SP1, Intel Core 2 CPU T5300 @ 1.73GHz and 2GB of RAM (if that makes any difference). Like Curt, I'm no computer expert either but I was experiencing a very similar problem to your's in CS3 Bridge.
The error message contained something about the "nvlddmkm.sys" not working. The 'nvlddmkm.sys' refers to the driver for my graphics card, a 'NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300', whose driver I had recently updated (to solve a separate conflict between an updated BIOS - it never stops!).
After some fiddling, I discovered that changing the 3D Graphics setting on the Nvidia Control Panel made Bridge once again behave.
Open the Nvidia Control Panel (right click on the 'desktop' to access it).
Under the '3D Settings' task, select 'Adjust Image Settings with Preview'. This should reveal a window with an image of a slowly spinning, three-dimensional Nvidia logo. (I understand that the Nvidia Control Panel is common to all its cards.)
Under the spinning logo image there are three options for 3D settings. On my computer, while my Bridge was broken, the "Use my preference emphasizing: Balanced" option was selected. I changed the option to, "Let the 3D application decide" and crikey! - when I restarted Bridge the previews were once again working. (It may be my imagination, but Bridge appears to now be going better than ever.)
I switched the Nividia preferences a couple of times just to make sure. The change appeared to have done the job.
NB: I noticed another discussion in the forums entitled "Suddenly No Images in Bridge" which appears to be a similar problem. They resolved it this way;
"Depress and hold Ctrl-Alt-Shift when you start PS or Bridge. A menu comes up with three options. Check them all."
I didn't see that fix until I had sorted mine so I haven't tried it... but now that 'it ain't broke', I 'ain't gonna fix it'!
Hope this helps you or someone else.
