Output templates - Bridge CS5 to CS6

I created PDF output templates in Bridge CS6. How can I import / copy these into Bridge CS6 so I don't have to recreate them manually? I'm working on a Mac.

How can I import / copy these into Bridge CS6 so I don't have to recreate them manually?
A bit unsure about your request because you both mention Bridge CS 6. Do you mean separate systems or computers?
Anyway, the template that you have saved are stored in the user library (by default hidden per MacOSX 10.7, in Finder use menu Go with option to reveal this library)
The path:
User (your username)/Library/ Application Support / Adobe / Bridge CS6 / Adobe Output Module / UserTemplate/ ContactSheet. In this folder are the templates you have custom created and saved.
Just copy them to the same location of the new set up and restart Bridge. Then they should appear agin in the list of custom templates in AOM.

CS6 uninstall is in the folder of Photoshop itself in the applications folder, I suspect CS5 also has this but can't check myself.

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

How do I copy my keywords from Bridge CS5 to CS6 in Windows?

Keywords are stored on the image so they will automatically be read by CS6 or any other program.

Import collections from Bridge CS5 to CS6

Hi
I have a system of collections organized in Bridge CS5 that I would like to continue having in CS6. I see a handful of CS5 preferences being imported as I installed CS6, but not the collections. Any tricks to this?

I have copied the Collections folder from Bridge CS5 to CS6 (in Snow Leopard).
The images are all there, but the order has changed.
Is there a better way to do this?
I can't open both versions of Bridge at the same time in order to copy the proper order....
I suppose i could print screenshots of the CS5 collection and then correct it in CS6.
There must be a better way! This could take hours.

How to transfer Collections and Favorites from Bridge CS5 to CS6

Have the same problem every upgrade. Having to build up my Collections and Favorites from scratch. (Keywords can be exported, so these are OK). Are there CS5 files i can copy into CS6? Gratefull for any advice. Tom

Hello! It would be nice to have a migration script in Bridge too...
In the past, there were folders you could copy, but given the database changes, I'm not sure, I need to check first with the team.
On a Mac, it is in the collections folders in ~Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections/
PC(XP): C:Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS5\collections
VIsta/7: user/app data/roaming/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections
Hope this helps

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.

Single shared cache for Bridge CS5 and CS6

I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 and CS6 installed on my Mac. Although I am only using CS6 for my work I have kept the previous version installed just in case any problems emerge with CS6 using Mountain Lion.
My simple question is whether or not I have to maintain separate cache folders for both versions of Bridge or whether they can actually be shared? At present I have two separate cache folders but the CS6 version is larger for some reason. I use Lightroom 4 generally for Raw processing.

Yes at present I have the original cache that was created by CS5.1 and then a second one that was created by CS6. These are stored by default in the User's Library but I read somewhere that performance was enahnced if they were moved to the same folder as the images, so I did that did that manually.
Apart from the space saving it occured to me that a shared cache would mean both versions stayed up to date but I wonder about the difference between the two different Raw processing engines and suspect that would be the biggest block against using a shared cache. I can't remember ever seeing this point addressed by Adobe so it would be good to have an authoritative answer one way or another.

Migrate Bridge CS5 Collections to CS6

Is there an easy way to migrate collections from Bridge CS5 to CS6? Or do I need to create them all again?
Any help will be appreciated.

So is mine today. I have no idea what's going on. Bridge 6 migrated my custom workspaces, my keyword list and yesterday my collections were visible. Went into 6 today, workspaces are still there and usable as is my entire keyword list I was building in 5 for my scans but hadn't applied yet, but no collections. Only explanation is I'm going nuts.
I'm sure they were there yesterday, because they worked much faster then the collections in 5. I'll keep playing and see if I can duplicate what I saw yesterday.

Bridge CS5 Renames Files in HTML Web Gallery

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to an arbitrary number. The caption reads as the original file name, but the actual image has a new name. This is problematic, as my clients will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
As an example: VLNK0321.jpg is renamed as _4856316150.jpg. (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
Is there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem?

Solved!
This works for Windows. I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
         alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
             alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
         alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
     return alteredName;
...with the following:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
                var alteredName;
                while (true)
                                alteredName = "_";
                                alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
                                var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
                                if (!f.exists)
                                                break;
                return alteredName;
You can cut and paste the above. Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
Cheers!

Contact sheets in Bridge CS5

I can't find how to make a contact sheet from Bridge 5. I did find something that creates a pdf but it's no where near as good and fast as the way to do it in Bridge 3. I used to be able to select 'make contact sheet' through the Tools menu - photoshop

I use Win 7 64 BIT
I make pdf output in Bridge CS5 but not work.
I downloaded optional filters and I tried in to read me files path but it doesn't work.
Now I find a new path and put in the "bridge Startup Scripts" file there. They working perfectly.
The path is the bottom:
... /Program Files(x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Bridge CS5 Exkensions/Adobe Output Module/Resources/Scripts
Copy all files and folders "PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US/Bridge Sturtup Scripts" paste in to this folder at the path
... /Program Files(x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Bridge CS5 Exkensions/Adobe Output Module/Resources/Scripts
enjoy ....

No way to change it, it's a "feature." (Not!)
File a bug report. It makes web galleries useless for me.

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads; the output panel is blank. Where is the script?

Bridge CS5 "output templates" no longer loads after my system back-up; the output panel is blank.
The other Workspace features appear to be functional.
What/Where is the output script supposed to be?

If it worked before and you have changed nothing I would reset the preferences. Close Bridge then hold down the CTRL key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 optons.

Bridge cs5 camera raw 6.5 to 6.5 and new bridge cs6 preview problem

Hi,
when i actualize camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview after 1 adjustment in camera raw.Image apears like when we open it in camera raw and it last few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
Months ago the only solution i found after several instals was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files in Windows 7 64 bits.
Is any one have same problem?And why only in 6.6 (and new camera raw 7.0) and not in 6.5?
Thanks

I use Bridge CS5 with camera raw 6.7.1 in combibnation with a canon 6D and a canon 5D Mark2. The raw files from the 5D are shown in bridge, the raw files from the 6D are not. There is just an icon. The camera raw add-on is the latest usable update for Windows, the canon 6d is listed as compatible. Has anyone an idea what to do?
The Canon 6D id NOT supported by ACR 6.7.1. It was supported for the very first time in ACR 7.3 whch requires CS6 to run.
Therefore you will never be able to open raw CR2 files from the 6D directly in CS5.
If you do not plan on upgrading, you can download the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.3 (always use the latest version, it's not tied to your version of Photoshop at all), install it like any other application and then run it on each batch of CR2 files to convert them to raw DNG files that you can then open in your version of Photoshop and ACR.

I am trying to output a PDF gallery from CS6 bridge in 10.8.5 on a Mac.

I am trying to output a PDF gallery from CS6 bridge in 10.8.5 on a Mac. No options are available from the pull-down Output arrow.

Hello,
Although not as simple as it should be you can use a program like "Grab" to take a screenshot of the frame in the preview window in iMovie.

With the CS6 Beta, I cannot get into Bridge CS6. Bridge CS5 keeps coming up instead.

How do I get Bridge CS6??? Even if I go to the folder with Bridge CS6 and try to activate it from the command line, Bridge CS5 comes up. What am I doing wrong

Hi Harvey,
Please make sure Br CS5 is not running in background (it is active and minimized to system tray)
In Windows, right-click the Bridge CS5 icon in the Notification Area of the Start Bar in Windows, and choose Exit Bridge. If you still cannot close Bridge, open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. In Task Manager, choose Bridge and select End Task.
In Mac OS, Ctrl-click the Bridge CS5 icon in the dock and choose Quit.
Now try accessing Br CS6 it would work.
Regards,
Ashutosh
