Open With in Bridge?

I am not able to open Psd files from Bridge into CS6? Under Open with... no option available for photoshop...only Firefox or Picture Viewer... Is there something wrong with my program? I am able to open files from MB, just not Bridge itself.

Big button in file type associations - reset to default assoications.
Otherwise you have to click the down arrow and choose browse. Then navitage to your progam that says CS6.exe or CS6.app in Mac.

Working on "open with" in Bridge CS4

I tried to open graphics under Bridge CS4.
Under File > Open With, I see following choices:
Adobe photoshop CS4 (default)
Internet Explorer 7.00
Paint 5.1
SnagIt 8 8.2
My question is how to change this choice. In other words, delete above listed programs and add other graphic programs there. For example, delete Internet explorer and SnagI, and replace with IrfanView or simpley replace default phostoshop with Irfanveiw like that. If so, how? James

If you want this as default change in preferences/file type associations.

About 'Open With' on bridge CS6

Running CS6 tools from the 'cloud' package
My goal is to have two options under Bridges' Right click/open with list.
1) photoshop CS6
2) Image Data Converter (Sony's raw converter for *.arw)
I see no way to effect this. Using windows settings, I can make Image Data Converter the default for
*.arw files, then it appears on bridges' 'open with' list, but then there is no option for photoshop CS6.
Again using windows settings to make the default photoshop... I then have photoshop on bridges' 'open with'
list, but no 'Image Data Converter'.
But in both cases the only other thing on the list, is something called 'Com Surrogate 6.1', something I've
never heard of and have no idea what it is.   Further, nothing happens when I click that item.
So, what can I do to have "photoshop" and "Image Data Converter" on bridges' 'open with' menu?
I'm confused by Bridges' Edit/preferrences/ File assosciations, in that it appears NOT to offer any way to set
associations for Bridge... At the Sony item on the list it only offers you an opportunity to set the default for
'Windows explorer'... And the 'Com Surrgate 6.1' seems to be non-negoatiable.... Makes me wonder why the
File Associations is there on a Bridge preferences dialog if it does not offer a chance to make settings
concerning Bridge. I already have several ways to get to the windows explorer settings.

If you open a raw image in Bridge or Photoshop (open as) it will open in adobe camera raw. THe file associations in Bridge can be changed to open image in another program but you have to browse to and click on the program.exe to open that program. You can set that as the default program or just added to "open with".
As mentioned, I did do the browse select thing a couple of different ways, however
I didn't see any option concerning that last bit.   Curt Y > or just added to "open with".
Most users either use one program or another I believe. Since ACR and the camera makers program are not the same there may be differences in how the programs write and read metadata. If you use Sony program do some tests to see if Bridge can read it and vice versa.
That is also true for me... however occasionally I want this or that functionality of the sony tool. It has a few different adjustments related to options on sony cameras and also has a straight forward 'sharpen' adjustment. Whereas I think
sharpening may be hidden under `clarity' (which also appears to do a few other things besides sharpen) in ACR.
Thanks for the heads up about meta data... as it happens I rarely am concerned with meta data and so had not noticed
any of that.
Oh, and thanks for the input about 'com surrogate...'.
PS - I just noticed after a close and reopen of bridge, that after having set the sony tool as default in prefs, I now see ACR is an item on right click menu... not under "Open with" but a stand alone item "open with camera raw" all by itself.   -- Cool.
And I have a hunch if I change the default back to PS in prefs, I will see the sony tool as stand alone... that would be the
best result.. since I don't use the sony tool all that often.

Extra Item in 'Open With' in Bridge CS3

The 'open with' menue features an opening function for all Adobe products so that you can open a file in Photoshop and Indesign etc.
Under the list of Adobe products, 3 more non-Adobe products are shown. In
my case it is Paint 5.1, the Windows Explorer and the Microsoft Picture Manager. Is there a WAY to permanently have another product shown there?
Occasionally, I'd like open a JPEG-file with Paintshop Pro for example.
Can't I take OUT Paint 5.1 which I have NEVER used and have another item in this menue?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I know you can do this by fooling with the registry, which can be a little intimidating for many users. Search on the web for "add items to open with".
Perhaps another user will have a simpler way.

Why can't we add programs to the list of right-click "open with" in Bridge?

I've followed various discussions and can find no official solution, nor any easy-to-follow solution for this issue.
What is the point of having bridge if we are unable to right click from bridge and open any image in any of the CC programs.
Am I missing something here?
also, I was fairly convinced that I could do this the last time I used bridge, last week, and now I can't.
I have used the "update cloud" today.

What is the point of having bridge if we are unable to right click from bridge and open any image in any of the CC programs.

Maybe you can specify a bit more of your problem?
In basic, having a correct install automatically adds all CC applications to the list above the line and most of the non adobe applications under the line.
You can add a new default using Bridge Preferences File type associations and if this is not in the list at the bottom of the pop up menu is a browse button to search your disk.
But you simple can't open any image in any Adobe application because not all adobe CC apps support all file types or can't even view images.
The Open Width list also varies per file type. For instance a Raw or DNG file gives you only the CC - applications with a Raw converter and that narrows it down to PS.
A .mov file only provides After Effects and Premiere Pro etc etc.
And you have to option to place all kinds of files in ID, AI, Ps etc. using the right mouse click menu.
If your behavior differs then first start refreshing preferences as a start.

My RAW images are becoming corrupt when opening with Adobe Bridge, showing very bright colours.

Windows Vista, Canon 20d, Dell PC.
Happens to older images not new ones.
Have a raw thumbnail codex installed.
Any help much apreciated
Example attached.
It isn't happening to all images though:

The raw codec doesn't affect Bridge/ACR, only Windows Explorer and applications which use the codec, like Photo Gallery.
The corruption you show is pretty extreme. It's usually the sort of thing you get with a corrupt display profile (Bridge is fully colour-managed), but if that was the case, I would expect it to happen with all of your photos, not just some.
You show the Preview panel is corrupted, but what about full-screen and Camera Raw previews?
What happens if you reset an image to camera raw defaults, with bog-standard settings and an Adobe Camera Profile?
The only other obvious problem I can think of is graphics drivers.
Which versions of Bridge and Camera Raw are you using?

How to Set Default Open With?

Bridge keeps opening my .png screen shot files with Fireworks, I want them to open in Photoshop — CS4.
The .png file icons defaults are set to open with Ps.
Bridge> Preferences> File Type Associations don't even list .png (if that is the place to do it).
Forum search seems to be hitting on everything but what I am typing in.
Bridge Help doesn't understand what I am asking.

Same issue - when I double click a "RW2" file in Bridge my Photomatix application opens the file. Nowhere in the file associations do I see Photomatix or the "RW2" file format for that matter. I reset to default association - still no joy. The only app showing in the "Open With" pull down in Bridge is "Photomatix (default)". How so I change this default to PS4?

I Installed a student version of CS6 Extended a couple weeks ago and I have used Bridge with it a few times but all of a sudden it wont open. Photoshop opens perfect but bridge doesnt even come up with any error messages...just nothing. Can any one help me? Please? Thank you

Try resetting preferences. Hold down Crtl key (option on mac) and start Bridge. Should get a reset window.

I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS6 on two computers and it works fine on one of them. I have tried to reinstall it without succeeding to fix the problem. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution to it?
"Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."

You must have a Mac. Try this.
Quit Bridge, from user library (NOT system and root library) preferences folder find and delete the com.adobe.bridge5.plist file manual. Do this also in same user library caches folder (Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6) and inhere find and the folder called 'cache' and drag it to the trash.
restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences, then try again.

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file".

Hello. I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with OSX LION. I also have Photoshop CS6 installed. When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6. If I say "OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014", or if I drag the file directly to CC 2014 in the Dock it will open in CC. Since I like to double-click or hit return in the bridge, I am constantly having to wait until the file opens in CS6, quit CS6 an then open it another way to get it into Photoshop CC 2014. I tried to disable CS6 by hiding it, but then double-clicking Bridge did nothing. Any ideas why this is happening?

Check and adjust the File Type Associations in the bridge cc preferences.

Open with photoshop in Bridge CC

When I try to open a file in bridge CC with the command "open with photoshop (default)", I get the message "windows cannot find photoshop CS4, make sure you typed the name correctly and try again". Yes, I had CS4 a long time ago, before CS5 and 6. How can I get bridge to open my files in photoshop CC?

Ok, I go to edit > preferences > file type associations. It shows me a list of file types. I suppose I have to go to canon camera raw in there. It says photoshop, so I click the little arrow there It gives me three choises: photoshop, COM surrogate 6,1 and browse. I choose browse. That brings me in my program files. There I click on adobe and than what? Do I click adobe photoshop CC and open or do I have to go further and click a folder within CC? I hope I make myself clear enough, its difficult for me in English.

Bridge CC Missing Features from CS6, i.e. 'Open With'

Using CC - Windows 7, 64bit.
First of all - I am curious as if there is a way to set additional options for the "Open With" option when Right-Clicking on an Item? For example in previous versions of Bridge, I was able to right click on a PDF that would need to be opened in Photoshop or Illustrator and select that as an option as opposed to opening in the default Acrobat Reader. In CC, I am forced to leave Bridge, go into the application, and Open the file through the system dialog box. It's a function I didn't realize how often I used until I updgraded to CC - now I am forced to go through a timely hunt for the file through the servers instead of just being able to open it via Bridge. The current options to 'Open With' are Acrobat are available, also offers Adobe Reader, and Chrome as options - but none of the necessary options.
I realize I could drag and drop it - and at times this is appropriate - but often not.
Is there a way to activate or achieve this?
Secondly, and I have researched this some already but wanted to confirm - there is no way to create a PDF inside of Bridge anymore? I have installed the Output Module successfully, however the option to create the a PDF is still not there. Is this correct, or should the ability to create a mulit-page PDF be in the Output Module I installed? If so, where is it now located?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Adam

In CC, I am forced to leave Bridge, go into the application, and Open the file through the system dialog box.
That is not normal behavior (at least on my Mac I still have all installed applications as option under this menu). By default the open with menu under the righty mouse menu should show all installed applications on your system. It sometimes even shows them double in case of attached disks with back up etc.
This has not changed in Bridge CC. If you have those applications installed on your system at the same location as Bridge they should show.
First try a reset of preferences for Bridge with holding down control key while restarting Bridge and choose rest preferences from the provided menu.

CS5 - Can't "Open With" Photoshop in Bridge?

I have CS5 installed and I am my defaults for Opening is Elements 8 on my
Vista machine and "nothing" on my XP laptop.
When on either machine and I right click an image, Photoshop is NOT an option to Open With.
If I go to preferences, I can manually set the default, but this is not an acceptable solution as I need my defaults to be something different.
For example, I need the default for my Nikon RAW files to remain Nikon Capture NX2, but I want the ability to right click and select the application I want to use.
How to I add Photoshop (or any other application) to the "Open With" List?

What you see on other programs in the list (aside the default, which is defined for Bridge only) of programs which a certain filetype were openend in the OS once.
For example (close Bridge / CS) and choose Quicktime as the default program for opening TIF in XP and you will have it in the list after Bridge was started again.
I'm afraid you need to do that for every application (close Bridge, choose a different default app for opening TIF in the OS, open Bridge again, and so on) you want to have in the list for a certain filetype.
When done don't forget to change it back to the default program you want to have it opened in the OS, f.e. CS5.
No need to make an application the default program (uncheck "always use the selected program to open this kind of file") - just say once "open with" and you will find it in Bridges "open with" list

Bridge CS6 "open with" choose programms

OS: Win 7 Professional 64bit
Bridge: CS6 5.0.2.4
Hello,
how can I choose the programms that are shown in Adobe Bridge CS6 at "File->Open With"? I've got at least 2 programms which shouldn't be there, e.g. Firefox or COM Surrogate 6.1. I don't know, how they came into the menu. When I right-click the files in Windows Explorer, the "Open With" menu is filled with image editing and viewing tools. Everything is ok there. No Firefox and no COM Surrogate. Besides I want to add some tools like Photoshop or Windows Image Viewer and some more. When I add Photoshop in "Preferences->File Allocation", it is in the menu. But when I add Windows Image Viewer, Photoshop isn't there anymore. Is there a way to configure this? Especially COM Surrogate is a operating system network tool and shouldn't absolutly be there. I tried to set the file allocation to standard, but COM Surrogate and Firefox stayed in the menu.
Greetings
Thomas

Also, be sure to use a card reader for file transfer as a camera transfer can introduce errors.
I work with a Hasselblad medium format camera. I do not have a CF card in use. And I can tell that this worked absolutely flawless for many years. I NEVER had corrupted files caused by transfer. Many photographers using pro medium format cameras work the same way (Phase One, Leaf, etc.). They do not use CF cards but firewire cable. the problem arised when I started using the CS6 Bridge software. And it turned out that I get more and more corrupted files which appeared to be fine before. So from one shooting i.e. 1 file of 100 was corrupted first. Since I started using Bridge and changed RAW settings and worked with the same files after some days I have 5 corrupted files of 100 now. And NO it is not my system. It works fine with other camera RAWs where I have absolutely no problems. It is only the Hasselblad files. Though I still can open the Hasselblad RAW files with the Hasselblad software. The problems are only with the Bridge (respectively the raw editor) in combination with the Hasselblad files.
To me it looks like CS is corrupting the files since they worked fine at first - even in CS and after some days playing around in CS the appear to be corrupted. Funny that I can open the same files without problems using a different software - isn't it? ;-)
thanks for the link I will try it.... :-)
