Plug in Issue with Bridge and Photoshop

When attempting to access Bridge in Photoshop (CS5 Extended) I received the following message: "Could not complete the browse in Bridge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript Plug-in".  I have never received this message when using Bridge.  I do not know how to access the plug in file.  I am not sure how to correct this issue.  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.  Thanks, DanOmaha
OS Windows 7 (64), Photoshop CS5 Extended, V12.1, Lightroom 3,

Can you open BRidge by clicking on bridge icon?
In bridge if you click edit/preferene/startup scirpts do you have a check mark for bridge and photoshop?

  • Workflow issue with Bridge and everything else

    Short and sweet. Well, not really.
    I use windows - so as a result, for some reason unknown to man (after a decade of waiting), I still cannot see "previews" of most, if not all of any adobe software in the windows dialogue boxes.
    think PDF's and the registry hacks we have to do to "enable" previews. But on a mac I can?
    So I have to use bridge - a lot.
    Now when I have a linked image in illustrator (or whatever) and choose "reveal in bridge" it will hunt and drill down through a multitude of folders and display the image in it's native folder - which I can then open in photoshop for instance - edit it - and Illustrator will detect the change and update. Awesome.
    But aside from running a script to send a batch job to a program, it really doesn't "do" anything else that one would expect a "bridge" to do;
         I cannot create a "project" portfolio that would track a client project and all it's related documents.
         Or collaborate with a team.
         I cannot have non destructive edits of a document (such as using an instance of a file like lightroom does) - or "send copy to photoshop" and have Bridge stack the results.
         I cannot combine and tag collections of documents (make a database of stuff).
         I cannot ask Bridge to tell me which documents have placed documents, or (vice versa) which documents are placed into other documents - that would be so cool.
              imagine being able to select a jpeg or psd file and have the option to "Find documents using this file"
              or looking at a "project" and having a list of all first level documents with all their subsequent "placed content" listed all drop down expandable
    So my beef today is that I finally spent an hour messing about thinking I had something "wrong" and went through Bridge CS6 with a fine tooth comb trying to find out if anything had changed.
    and nope - it still doesn't behave as one would think it would.
    Currently, I have some documents that require monthly changes to images, which for the most part came from one photo shoot, and all have essentially the same perspective, appearance, lighting and shading, but all different products and I have a folder of "preformatted images". So monthly I really only need to update the images, and a bit of text. Being posters, InDesign whines a bit for vector art manipulation, so I stick to Illustrator for this job.
    But in Illustrator, I cannot choose another image to replace my linked image - without either;
         a: (reveal in bridge), select new replacement image - place as a new image, which then needs to be manipulated as the "old" image was, "remaking" all the adjustments, and then finally deleting the original linked image.
         b: (reveal in bridge) keep bridge open on the image I need (and it's name), go back to illustrator to open the "relink" windows dialogue and "blindly" browse till I find the image I want as shown in bridge.
         c: simply relink and browse blindly to find a file you can't see a preview of and guess, or drag and drop, or all the other non practical ways to replace the image.
    Option B gives the desired end result where the image I have in a clipping mask, buried in a document in a certain way, with certain effects, is simply replaced without impacting anything else.
         But this takes quite some time when there are a lot of images.
    So Bridge and its promised workflow functionality still isn't living up to it's purpose exactly.
    Bridge isn't bridging.
    With indesign, it's the same issue - you can't "relink" by revealing in bridge, choosing a "replacement" image and "update"
    Maybe a "relink with Bridge" choice in the Links menu?
    and in bridge, since Illustrator triggered the request, a button appears to "Replace" - once you finish browsing and highlighting the replacement image you need, just click it and it's done.
    So two issues -
    Why can't previews of adobe files be shown in windows explorer (still)?
         if they did, I'd really have no use for Bridge.
    Why isn't bridge actually communicating with the apps connecting to it?
    - and yes, I understand that I cannot ask bridge to go find a placed file and replace it with "this" file, but when illustrator "asks" for "this", bridge should be able to "respond" and give "that" since the app initiated the request.
    Bridge should be a workflow tool as advertised - it should literally be able to be a proper workflow hub for all things adobe (and be able to catalogue and track all design file type previews - corel files, cad, 3d, etc)... but as it stands it's just a glorified windows explorer without workflow options.
    Bridge hasn't been altered in years, and it's still lingering around - I think - so that we can simply see thumbnails, rather than just allowing each adobe program to make "previews" windows needs.
    I can change metadata in windows, I can use freeware to change it extensively.
    So aside from the "open in" options and the ability to browse all adobe file types, what's the point?

    I couldn't read all through your post as I am jetting out of here.
    Buy this:
    http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
    and install it. It's relatively cheap. Screen shot is from Windows Explorer.
    Handles ID, PSD, etc., files as well. Though the preview uses greeked text for the most part for the ID files.
    Take care, Mike

  • I had issues with bridge and uninstalled it, now I can not reinstall bridge

    I had issues with using Bridge it would be slow and unresponsive.  I am using a pc with windows 7.  I have the CC subscription for Photoshop.  I uninstalled bridge and now can not reinstall it or open  CC.  I would like to get bridge back it was so much easier to look at all the photos on the camera before choosing to edit them.  Thanks and cheers

    As Peru Bob mentioned run the Cleaner Tool first.
    I'll add signing out of your CC desktop account and signing back in under Preferences.
    Hopefully it updates the CC Desktop to where you have the install option for Bridge CC.

  • Colour Management Issues with Leopard and Photoshop CS3

    Hi Everyone,
    Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
    My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
    Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
    Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
    I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

  • Issues with Mavericks and Photoshop and Illustrator Cs6

    My illustrator cs6 and photoshop are unable to save documents, every time I try to save or save as the save window keeps disappearing. Occasionally I can save if I am really quick, but on average this is not an option,
    The same happens when I try and open something through either program, the open window disappears before I can click on anything.
    I can open psd or ai docs in finder but just not in the program.
    This has only happened since I installed Mavericks.
    any help?

    Same problem for me with CS5 so I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC--same problem again and Adobe does not know how to fix the issue.
    For a while holding down the shift key while opening Photoshop worked, then it failed yesterday. I'll try Alljeffedup's key combination solution.
    Current workaround is the Open With command in the finder.

  • Server issues with Indesign and Photoshop

    Hi,
    We have recently moved to a Mac OS server for our company, but ever since doing so have started to have problems with our files corrupting.  We have since been advised by our IT contractor that Indesign and Photoshop files are now so sophisticated, with the way they access and use their database that it is best not to work on them from a server, as there are too many things that could cause problems with their database in a server situation.
    When I heard this, I thought 'surely not' as I know most companies work from a server and I couldn't imagine Indesign and Photoshop wouldn't be robust enough to manage the complexities of a server situation.
    Can anyone tell me of similar experiences, or is it more an issue we need to look at with the server itself?
    Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly appreicated.
    Lydia

    People work directly from the server all the time, and sooner or later experience file corruption. It isn't so much that the file is stored remotely as the potential for curruption due to network traffic is very high, particularly if you are making a large number of edits which must constantly be written to the file.
    The recommended workflow is to copy the files you need to the local workstation, edit, then copy back to the server.

  • Problem with bridge and Photoshop CS4

    When in Bridge CS4, I want to open a JPEG photo in Photoshop, when double clicking It opens PAINT and not Camera Raw. I have the CS4 on a laptop and no problem there. I matched all the settings and still the desktop opens PAINT instead.

    Yes thanks, it worked but how do I change some of them to "none". I don't see how I can do that.

    You could always set all to default and start from scratch.
    It's not a very well designed dialog!

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

    Hi folks,
    I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
    - No previews or ratings showing
    - Ratings filter not working
    - Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
    - Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
    I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
    Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

    This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit
