Photoshop / Bridge CS6 does not open the selected image thumbnails.

Hello,
When I open an image with the "Open Camera Raw" in Adobe Bridge CS6, I get the error:
"Bridge's parent apllication is not active.
  Bridge requires que qualifiying the product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
My OS is Windows Vista with all automatic updates.
Grateful for any help.
Aurélio

When you remove the obvious,
that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
Short version:
When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
ie.
if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
X
Y
all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
Best,
Jim

  • Edit in Photoshop CS4... does not open the selected file.

    Sorry if this is an old topic, but I can not seem to find the answer and I was hoping someone here might know.
    When in Lightroom (2.2 or 2.3) if I select "Edit in Photoshop CS4..." or any of those dropdown commands, Photoshop opens....and that is it. The selected photo from Lightroom is NOT opened/merged/panoramaized. duuh. frustrating.
    So I re-installed Lightroom, updated to the 2.3, re-installed CS4. all with the same effect that Photoshop opens, but the selected file is NOT opened.
    Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I have trial versions of Lightroom and Elements 11. "Edit in Photoshop.." does not open the image

    Using trial versions of Lightroom and Elements 11, th ecommand to "Edit in Photoshop Elements 11" succeeds in opening Photoshop but fails to open the image. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem with PS Elements 13 trial version (fully updated), but sadly this solution doesn't work... there is no 'Support Files' folder, and nothing called 'Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app' anywhere else.
    Any thoughts?

  • Illustrator CS6 does not store the last opened files

    THat indicates a permissions issue on your preferences file and/ or your files are stored on some external or network device that doesn't use persistent file paths. Look into that.

  • My photoshop cs6 does not open Nikon raw pictures

    my photoshop cs6 does not open Nikon raw pictures

    Check your version of ACR (Photoshop > About Plug-in > Camera Raw) and see on this list
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    whether your camera should be supported or not.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 will not open

    Just started trial of Adobe Photoshop CC  ( CS6 and Bridge CS 6)
    Photoshop  downloaded ok but Bridge CS6 will not open after installation.
    I have used Adobe Bridge with CS2 before but since removing CS2 and installing CS6 and Adobe Bridge 6 64Bit Adobe Bridge will not open.
    Help
    watchet7

    CS2 seems to conflict with CS6.  One user found this to work.  AppData is a hidden folder in case you try this.
    I finally got it to launch via instructions from another web page. In my case, I am running Win 7 Professional 64-bit and previously loaded Photoshop and Bridge versions CS2 (along with Illustrator and InDesign CS2), which might have been part of the problem. The solution for me was to create an empty "Bridge CS2" folder in the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\. Worked like a charm.
    You might have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to get rid of traces of the CR2 files.

  • Extended CS6 trial Bug ends..and now CS6 does not open

    Another brilliant move by adobe. First they suggest they inadvertently included a bug that required one to manually decline the extended version every time CS6 is open;now the "trial" ends and CS6 does not open. Is this what we expect from adobe? Maybe so, I guess.

    There actually is a way to update Photoshop without running it.
    You might visit the following pages, for example:
    Edit:  Hopefully these links are fixed now.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Windows&product=39
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=39
    Of course, these links don't help Creative Cloud users at all.  I guess they're expected to use the Application Manager.

  • When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    When I click the Editor, it loads but does not open the Editor page. Options?

    Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
    Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
    Then click next followed by finish.
    You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
    Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
    Then click next, followed by finish.
    Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred. On Mac try launching directly from Applications. [if not using PSE13 substitute your own version and go to Program Files (x86)]

  • In FF 25 on XP there was a star to left of navigation toolbar to open bookmarks sidebar, now it's on the right, but does not open the sidebar - what's up?

    I want that little star back that opens the bookmarks sidebar. It's just to the left of the address field on XP in FP 25. But on Windows 8 in FP 25.0.1 it's not there. Instead there's a star that sometimes appears on the right of the address bar. But the star on the right does not open the bookmarks sidebar. It only displays a list of bookmarks and options, which do not include opening the sidebar.
    Has this option been removed and replaced with Ctrl B?

    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
    This includes toolbar icons to open the bookmarks and the history in the sidebar.
    *Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
