Photos open in random order from bridge

Hi all,
This issue has been bugging me, trying to open the image in sequence from Bridge CS3 to Photoshop CS3.
The images in bridge is in sequence and all I did was select all and double click. My iMac at home works fine but my iMac at studio don't seems to like the sequence at all.
Hope there is a solution to it.
Regards,
Hart

DYP - thanks for response. However, if I select all files in Finder they open in Preview not PS. If I want to open them in PS I have to drag them to the PS icon when they open in random order. The problem has been solved by using Bridge but I would be interested to know more details of your solution.

Photos open in random order in CS3

When I open a folder of photos in CS3 they open in completely random order. Is there some way in which I can persuade them to open in numerical order?
Any help much appreciated.

Photos are in random order

I transferred my iPhoto library from my old Mac G5 to my new Mac, and the photos are in random order. The dates on some photos are wrong and I can't change them. Any ideas?

N ot unless you tell us more
How exactly did you "transfer your photos"?
The dates are wrong - where are you seeing this? - You can not change them - how are you trying to change them?
We know nothing except what youo tell us so details adn work flows are critical to being able to help

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.

Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
"Bridge's parent application is not active."
Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
Any suggestions.
Cheers

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

Camera raw won't open my raw files from bridge. Mac user, camera, Nikon D800, latest camera raw update is installed. Help!!

I don't get a photo preview in bridge of my raw files, just the NEF file thing. Then when I click to open them I get a message that says: "If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates" "If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111". I can't seem to figure out what to do! Help Please!?

Usually the problem with a newer Nikon camera is that the NEF files have been transferred or viewed with obsolete Nikon software, like Nikon Transfer for View NX, and those change something in the header of the raw file that makes it unrecognizable to Adobe products.
For new images, the solution is to either stop using Nikon products to transfer and view your files or update your Nikon products to be as new as your camera.
There is a utility to fix this particular corruption here:

Photo Albums in Random Order

I have recently moved from Aperture to Lightroom because Apple are no longer going to develop Aperture. Needless to say I have to create new photo albums to be able to view on ATV, which I've done.
Now when I point iTunes to the folders of albums they appear in chronological order in iTunes (my files are names by year/month - album name e.g.. 2014/08 - Vacation)
When I view the photo album list on ATV they are in a random order. Does anyone know a work around that I am not seeing. I do remember some years ago this happened and then an update happened and it seemed to rectify it. And yes my ATV's are up to date.
Any help would be appreciated.

Files opened in random order

Hi
Why the heck when you open a bunch of files in iPhoto, Photoshop, or whatever, do you get them in random order instead, like in Classic, in their name order? And it's a different order each time. It can be very itching when you want to apply certain actions.
Since it's not application dependent it must be OS X. I guess you have to get used to it. Is there a reason why?
Nick

It's the same story in a Finder window: put the window into Column view first in order to get files to open in alphanumeric order. As for Photoshop--afraid I wouldn't know, as I almost never open psd files from the Finder, I use the PS file browser instead, which I keep open on my second monitor.
As for OS 9--you couldn't pay me to go back to it. OS X multi-tasks and almost never freezes or crashes. I can't remember the last time I had to do a forced restart.
The Finder however.... Well, let's just say I share the general sentiment that Apple should start over. Fixing what's there is not the answer. Writing a Finder for OS X with modern code would sure be nice. If you haven't seen it, take a look at John Siracusa's criticisms:

And his update and hopes (and fears) for Leopard's Finder are here:

Photos Sometimes in Random Order

I'm trying to upload certain photos from iPhoto to a website. When the website goes to my iPhoto to get the certain photos, they are completely in random order. If I click on iPhoto, my photos are in the order taken. I have OS X Yosemite, 10.10.2 (14C1514). This has not always been the case but has occurred after one of the system updates. What can I do to keep the photos in date order?

Perhaps the website or the browser window that is accessing your photos is looking at them alphabetically and that's different from chronologically. May sites sort alphanumerically so you'll need to rename the photos so when exported to the Desktop for upload to the website they will be in the correct order. You can do that by selecting the photos and using this option in the Export window:
to get this result:

Photos appear in random order?

When I upload photos via the iPhoto Slideshow wizard, and then create a new photo page via .Mac, the photos are all in random order and I have to reorder them all.
Why is this the default behavior and how do I correct this?
The way it should work is that they should be arranged in order that they were taken and let you rearrange from there.

captkurt:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I'm guessing that the order up on .Mac is alphanumerical as that's the default sorting order for computers so you must rename the files before uploading. To get the renamed in the correct order assemble them in an album, sort as you'd like and the use the .File->Export->File Export menu option and select the "Use Album Name" option. Export to a folder on the desktop and then either reimport into iPhoto to upload or manually upload to your iDisk and access thru the .Mac page if you can create the slideshow online. If not then you'll have to reimport and go thru iPhoto.
The User Album Name option will give you the following file names: AlbumName-01.jpg, AlbumName-02.jpg, etc. That might just do it for you. Check your uploads to see if they truly in alphanumerical order before going to all this work.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Opening in Camera Raw from Bridge

Bridge will not longer allow me to open photo files directly into Camera Raw, saying a "qualifying" program must be open; I have Bridge and Photoshop CS 6.5 Extended open. What else is needed????

Not sure what CS6.5 Extended is. There is CS6 and CS5.
If you try to launch Bridge from the parent program, and still get message, it is highly likely you have an expired Adobe trial on you computer. Find and destroy and Bridge will work. Bridge is looking for permission from the trial.

Camera Raw won't open certain JPG files from Bridge, others open in ACR with no problem.

Edit: This was orignally posted in the Photoshop > Macintosh forum, which I failed to realize was read only. Thanks to a PM headsup, I'm reposting it here. Thanks
I've searched the internet and the Adobe forums and cannot find a direct answer to what I'm dealing with.
The issue I am having is that Bridge CS5 (current version 4.0.5.11) will open some JPG images in Raw with no problem and others nothing happens at all. All the images come from the same source (Fujifilm Frontier SP2000) so I really don't understand why Bridge ignores some of them as being openable in RAW. For example, say this roll of film has 36 images. If I "Select All", right click, and select "Open in Camera Raw", it will open whichever it deems acceptable in RAW and nothing happens at all to the others (The RAW dialog will, for instance, only open 10 images instead of all 36, and the remaining images are not altered in any way).
I've made sure that Photoshop is prefering Adobe Camera Raw with Supported Raw Files and in Camera Raw Preferences I have the box ticked to Automatically open JPGs with Settings but nothing helps.
My work around is to one file at a time in the Photoshop Open dialog, selecting an affected JPG file and have it open them as Camera Raw instead of Jpeg.
Any ideas? It's done this for quite a while and I have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks.

Can't open JPGs into ACR from Bridge - Windows XP

I was using CS3 on a Windows XP Machine, just installed the latest updates from adobe (to 2.0.0.10 I believe) and can no longer open JPGs in Camera Raw by hitting CTRL-R. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the adobe suite, (back to 2.0.0.95 Bridge and 4.0 ACR)but that didn't help. Now, it seems that some jpgs will open into ACR and some won't. I can't find any differences in these files. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I want the option of opening in raw easily, would rather avoid having to go and check that preference box to open all images in raw every time I want to do so. Thanks!

Bridge should be version 2.1.1.9 and Camera Raw newest release is 4.3.
Unfortunately your bound to set prefs to open jpegs in RAW, I put the ability of opening jpeg and tiff as a choice in ACR or directly in PSCS as a feature request. maybe you will support this, the more people that want it the better it would be :-)
