Opeing TIFF's from Bridge

Hello out there. I have CS5 and have until recently been able to open Tiffs directly from Bridge into Camera Raw. I just installed I believe the latest patch 6.7.1. All the preferences are correct. Please note I have no problem opening Jpegs from Bridge into Camera Raw. Also please note the same exact file which I can not open from Bridge into Camera Raw I can from Photoshop. Please help because I need to open multiple images which I can not do from Photoshop into Camera Raw. I now send this message out into the world in hopes someone has the answer. Thanks, me.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.
CHRIS - you are exactly right about my FUTURE workflow. What I'm trying to figure out now is how to best handle images already processed. My import should be OK based on the way I have duplicates in separate directories, BUT I'm wondering how to avoid seeing all of these duplicates in LR when I search by keyword, etc.? I guess I can somehow flag the RAW files and only get them in my results.
One question though - Stacks, etc. sounds great for the LR processed images. But what about variations based on processing in Photoshop after the LR Develop stage? I guess in this case I will just have to keep duplicate images if I have multiple versions from my PS work?
ISAAC - Thanks for clarifying that LR will recognize my XMP files from Bridge. What about the opposite direction . . . if I edit something in LR and capture this via XMP, it won't prohibit Bridge from recognizing XMP info if I access a file via Bridge, will it?
ALSO - Do you know where I can find info about tracking via XMP vs. the central database? You mentioned a couple of valid points, but I'm not sure I have a full handle on the pros/cons of these options.
Thanks!

Tiff previously edited in ACR will not open in Camera RAW from Bridge

Yes, I have googled this and found instances going back to 2010 with no satisfactory answer. I have Photoshop 5.1 and the latest ACR and Bridge that work with it. 2011 MAC Mini 10.8.2.
I scanned a landscape oriented printed email image at 800 spi as a portrait orientation and saved it as a tiff. I opened this tiff in Preview and decided it needed more than minor tweaks so I opened it in ACR from Bridge, made a few adjustments and saved it. I thought I could see what I was doing better if it was in landscape orientation again so I opened it in Preview and rotated 90 deg CCW, saved it as a tiff. Going to Bridge I found Open in Camera Raw greyed out. I went back to Preview to see if I could get what I needed in its Tools while viewing it in landscape. Adjustments took forever this time, so I gave up and took a look at the image characteristics. Rotating in Preview had changed the image size to 3.3333...... times larger at 240 ppi still aRGB, still a tiff. This has never happened before, including slow adjustments
I duplicated the rotated file and changed it back to 800 ppi and normal size, went to Bridge, Camera Raw still greyed out. Original unrotated image
that had been edited in ACR and saved will still open in ACR.
All kinds of strange things have happened since updating to 10.8.2, but I don't think this is one of them because of the complaints I have seen that date back to 2010. I did a full maintenance routine, i e cleared RAM, reboot in single user with fsck -fy, repaired permissions, back up with SuperDuper which repairs permissions again. Then I tried Bridge again, original will open, rotated won't.
Anyone know the answe?

The answer is that making edits in ACR and saving it creates layers in the tiff and Bridge will then not open it again in ACR unless you flatten it. I still don't know why Preview increased the image size by 3.333.....x or why ACR increased the tiff file size by 2.6x and why the flattened tiff is 2x the file size of the original scan but the image dimensions are the same. This stuff apparently is above the pay grade of anyone in google, too.

Basic help required for multiple files to be opened from Bridge to PS

Hi
I am attempting to shave off a few hours from my workflow and because I'm new to Bridge I'm unsure how to do this. I'm pretty sure anyone out there with a small working knowledge of Bridge or CS3 could help me.
I am attempting to open three instances of the same RAW file into CS3 from Bridge. The three instances, although the same image, need to go through CameraRaw and change the exposure. One normally exposed, one +2 exposure and one -2 exposure. As you may have worked out I am attempting a pseudo-hdr effect with the one RAW file.
How do I, with just one click, open the file three times, change the exposure each time, and then save the differently exposed files as tiffs?
If it's ImageProcessor that I need to use then I'll admit I can't quite work out the rules for doing this!
Any help gratefully received.

Have a look at this thread.....

Unable to open image from bridge to ps

Am running Windows 7 64 bit, with CS5 64 bit.
When I try and open a tiff file in Bridge to Photoshop, no dice.
Control/O does nothing.
"Open with" wants to open in Internet Explorer 9 (default).
No trouble opening from Bridge to ACR.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Noel,
Thanks so much for replying.
Under Bridge>pref>file type assoc. are listed three items:    Internet Explorer 9.00

"Brouse" goes right to the "MY documents" folder, in which are listed many folders but not Photoshop.
I think I see light at the end of the tunnel. Can you help me find Photoshop?

CS3 Extended - Can't get images from Bridge to open in Photoshop

I am wondering if I have this CS3 installed incorrectly. I had CS2 before and after my hard drive failed I ordered CS3. Before the new CS3 arrived I downloaded Picasa from Google and that was my image viewer in the interim. I also installed a trial CS2 on my computer from finding it on the internet. When I downloaded CS3, my RAW images were opening up in Picasa which I didn't like. So, I went to Picasa's software and clicked no to opening RAW images in it. That fixed that problem and I also uninstalled the CS2 trial. But now my CS3 Adobe Bridge doesn't recognize that there is CS3 Adobe Photoshop when I want to open TIFF or JPEG images. It opens them in Windows viewer. Even when I right click on an image in Bridge to Open with, it only offers me two browsers, Firefox and IE. Where do I go to reset the Bridge images to open in Photoshop? Right now I have to switch back to Photoshop from Bridge and go to File-Open.

In Bridge, go to Edit->Preferences->File Type Associations

Difficulty opening some files in PSCS4 from Bridge.

Of late I've been having difficulty with trying to open some of my PSD and TIFF files from within Bridge. I have the same problem from the Open Recent sub menu under File. I get a notification that pops up saying it can't open the file "...due to program error." This is a fairly recent problem I'm having. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
Thanks...Chuck S.

Which OS?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

How can I open psd files into Potoshop CC from bridge

PSD files will not open into Photoshop CC from Bridge CC. I get this error message...“Windows cannot find, C:\program files\adobe\adobe photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\photoshop.exe.” I can open jpeg, tiff and raw. I'm using Windows 7. I do not have CS5 on my computer. Help...

You must have uninstalled CS5 after you installed CC. Your registry is fouled up. You can either uninstall CC, run the Script Cleaner and reinstall, or fix registry as below.
After looking at a new user's registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER and comparing it to the one on the original user, I found a registry value which was not changed, and should have been.
I found a key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command
This key was set to the path for Photoshop CS6 when it should have been set to Photoshop CC.
In other words, in my case, it was set to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
When I changed the CS6 to a CC, in other words, so the whole key reads:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

Automate Multiple RAW exposure from Bridge to CS3

Good afternoon
I'm new to these forums but have been using Bridge for a little while now. However I could really do with some help that would shave hours off my workflow!
With some of my images I am creating pseudo HDR effects. To do this I am opening multiple instances of the same shot in Camera Raw in CS3 and increasing or decreasing the exposure accordingly, then saving each image. Ultimately what I am trying to achieve is to automate the following procedure:
From Bridge open the same file three times in CS3, each time with a different exposure setting; then save each image as a tiff from CS3. In CS3 I use an action to do the saving, but isn't there a way of automating the entire process from Bridge?
The second problem is that I have to save my file as 1.tif, 2.tif, 3.tif etc when saving the same RAW file, otherwise it will overwrite itself. Can I also save in CS3 a variation of the original file name like img_001-1.tif, img_001-2.tif, img_001-3.tif, making it automated so that I don't have to intervene in order to give it a unique file name?
Any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

First question - You can use Image Processing in tools/photoshop for automating the process.
2nd question - Don't know if you can do this directly in Bridge, but can be done quite easily with a script. I know zip about scripts but have seen previous posts were user did the same thing. Go to the scripting forum and do a search. Should be an available script to do what you want.

Batch editing raw files from bridge

When I batch edit my raw files, including saving the file as a jpeg, from bridge or photoshop the resulting file saved never includes any changes I made in the Camera Raw editor. For example if I have lightened the photo by changing the exposure in Camera Raw as a saved jpeg after batching the file is still as dark as when originally shot. Is there some little box I forgot to check or something? Thanks!
andy

Edit:
Glad to hear you got it working.
I'll just leave what i had put here anyway.
You want Program Files (x86)
That's where the 32 bit programs such as photoshop cs3 are on a windows 7 64 bit system.
Also, in bridge cs3 under Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails ensure Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for Jpeg and Tiff files is checked.
(then restart bridge cs3)

Batch processing from Bridge: including "Subfolders"

I posted in the Camera Raw forum on this, but thought it would not hurt to re-post here.
Context: Mac quad G5, 4G Ram, 4 internal drives, OS 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0.1, ACR 4.4, Bridge 2.1.1.9
Checking the "Include All Subfolders" box seems not to process any folders contained within the currently selected Bridge window. All selected files, other than the subfolders, process as usual.
Some jobs require that images be sorted by machine or model number, and into folders. Now I want to make previews for the client.
I had never used this option before ("Include All Subfolders"). Is there a trick to it? TIA, kl
Omke suggested Batching from CSPS, and Ramón suggested Dr Brown's 1-2-3 Processor. it's good, to be sure, but it has no option to check subfolders, and selecting a folder that contains images and subfolders is not permitted.
TIA, KL

Thanks, Omke; ignore that Q. I posted on the "Features" thread.
I just ran a quick test on Dr Brown's 1-2-3, but selecting it via "Scripts"; amazingly, the "Include subfolders" check box appears.
The only part that does not seem to work is that the results of the processing seem to be in one folder only (rather than the processing following the folder structure of the folders, or, in the case of using 1-2-3 from Bridge, TIFFs appearing in one folder marked "TIFFs" and JPEGS in their own folder).
Not a big problem, but if there is a way to reproduce the folder structure of the *Source* files and subsolders, I will be 100% happy!
Cheers, kl

Batch processing from Bridge: checking the "include "Subfolders" box

My request is simply to make this function work.
This would help my workflow enormously. If the processing simply reproduced the folder structure on the destination drive, as selected in the "Destination: Choose" dialogue, that would be completely adequate. TIA.

Opening a file in PS from Bridge

It seems like the default behavior when you "Place" a file (e.g. a TIFF) in PS from the Bridge application, it opens as a "Smart Object". Is there some way to just open it from Bridge without making it a Smart Object?

Just double click the file and don't place anything.

However if i run a small part of the above code...
SELECT *

WHERE Dcaaccountallocation.dcaid = 41
AND Dcaaccountallocation.status = 2
It returns a lot of rows with a status of 2
Now i presume what I am going to do is to ensure that all the fields provide satisfactory requirements, with regards to the above code. Although I have many records in all the stated tables already.

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Image processor from Bridge problem

ONe of most annoying things with Bridge is that often, image processor wont open from Bridge -- unless you quit out and relaunch Bridge -- quite a hassle.

You are absolutely correct. In order to pass selected images in bridge over to photoshop, you need to invoke IP from within Bridge. I didn't make that connection from your earlier post.
So your original request makes sense. Personally, I would rather see an improvement in Image Processor (as well as the Batch dialog) that allowed one to specify the source as "Bridge".
In photoshop 7, in the batch dialog, you could specify the source of the files to be batched as "Open Files", "folder", or "File Browser". If you choose File Browser, the batch action will be performed on files selected within FB.
In CS2, in the batch dialog, you can see Bridge as an option, but it's grayed out. You can only invoke the Batch operation on files selected in Bridge from within Bridge - a serious shortcoming.
The same theme holds true for Image Processor, and indeed, it looks like most of the scripts behave that way.
So rather than have a shortcut, I would like, as I say, the ability to specify bridge as a source in the dialog boxes for the image processor and batch dialogs.
