Preview color problem in Bridge CS 5.5

I'm having the following problem with the thumbnails and previews in Bridge CS 5.5.
After I've scanned an image, the preview matches the colors I expect, with nice saturated colors.
After opening the image in Raw and making a few changes such as crop I press done and return to Bridge.
The preview I get is much less saturated then it was before.
When I reopen the image with Raw it first appears less saturated but shortly after, the saturated color returns.
Saving the image as a Jpeg gives the correct, saturated colors.
This problem first occurred after registering the product and receiving an update for Raw.
Extra info: I'm working with Nikon .nef files. Converting them to Adobe .dng format solves the problem.

You must have done a screen shot of the thumbnail as the enlarged version is same size. But can still see difference.
I would revisit your thumbnail setting and make sure it is HQ Iif you want to see edits in thumbs, and check the default ACR setting. Don't assume they are the same as computer can do unexpected things.
Read the link I gave in post #1 as see if you have all the correct options selected.
When you click on thumb does the preveiw panel show the same dull image or a correct one?
It is possible the update fouled everything up, but seems like there would be more complaints. I am still on ACR 6.4 however. Am a slow adopter.

Preview pdf problem in Bridge CS4

Hello,
When I want to make preview prints from PDF files sometimes I see double pages, and I think one is a low resolution file and the other is a high resolution file. So I have a problem to make previews of these double pages in Bridge CS4. Does anybody know this problem and how can I solve this, any help with this is very welcome. I can open the file in Acrobat Reader and I just see one page!

I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever. I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw.
I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

No MPEG preview or playback in Bridge CS5

After doing a clean install of CS5, everything seems to work well except for Bridge.
HDV mpeg clips will not display a visual thumbnail
or playback in preview window of Bridge. When double-click
ing icon, I get an error "Windows
cannot find '%ProgramFiles(x86
)%Windows Media Player
\wmplayer.exe'.
When I double-click an AVI file, Bridge finds and uses Windows Media Player just fine.
Need MPEG preview badly!!!!
MPEG clips are working fine in Premiere Pro CS5 and AME rendering is awesome!!!
Thanks, rg

Hi Rick,
Regarding br asc's reply:
can you purge the video file in thumbnail panel to get new thumbnail?
I can playback mpeg video in bridge on my windows 7 64bit machine.
I am not sure what you did or what exactly did br asc meant.... Anyhow, let me describe my problem and what I did to overcome it:
My Problem:
In Bridge CS5 version 4.0.2.1, I am having problem previewing .MOV files. My .MOV files are from various source such as iPhone, 5DII, 7D, 550D and a few camcoders. The funny thing is some .MOV files preview ok while others not. It is not source dependent either as I've checked, by that I mean something like I have two .MOV files from say, the 5DII, with exact same settings when recorded, why does one preview ok and the other not in Bridge CS5???
What I did:
(1) In Bridge, go to menu
Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the File Type Associations (on left pan) and make sure QuickTime (.mov) is associated with your QuickTime Player on the right pan.
(2) In Bridge, go to menu
Edit > Preferences (or Crtl K for Wins), go to the Cache (on left pan) and click the [Purge Cache] button on the right pan to Purge All Cached Thumbnails and Previews.
After doing (1) & (2), I am able to preview every .MOV in Bridge CS5.
Not sure what I have done different to anyone else, but it seems to work for me. Hope it helps...

Color problem, black 'noise' on specific colors

Dear adobe users,
At the moment I have a problem with a few specific colors within photoshop CS6, on top of my original colors you'll see a black noise effect. Some effect you'll suspect when you've turned on a different color mode. But i'm working with the normal RGB/8 color modes which shouldn't be a problem. If i save this document to a JPEG and open it with Windows Preview, the color problems dissapear. Funny thing is, if I get my color picker and hover on a black spot on my original document, the right color shows up in my color picker and not the black color I see on my screen.
What can cause this problem? Tried google to find the problem, but no luck so far. Driving me crazy as this isnt really working for me. Thanks for the help so far!

I'm guessing you have an ATI video card and have updated to Catalyst 13.1 (or gotten the WHQL driver through Windows Update).
Catalyst 13.1 has a problem properly running Photoshop CS6's GPU-based Adobe Color Engine. Basically if the red channel reaches 0, all color will be blacked out.
A workaround that retains most of your GPU functionality but avoids the problem is this: Change the Drawing Mode to Basic in the Advanced Photoshop GPU preferences. Restart Photoshop after making the change.
A possibly more acceptable workaround is to completely uninstall Catalyst 13.1, then seek out Catalyst 12.8, specifically, on Adobe's web site. 12.8 works quite well in Advanced mode.

Color problem in CS3

I recently had to replace my motherboard and video card (with identiacal cards). This may or may not be related to my problem.
My Photoshop installation now has a definate magenta cast. I am working in sRGB with my color settings set to North America General Purpose 2.
If I set my preview to "monitor" (Samsung SyncMaster 243T) the colors appear correct, but returning to the native program shifts by colors back to the extreme magenta shift.
I can also view the correct colors when using "Save for web or devices"
My monitor is calibrated and I can view images correctly outside of Photoshop.
Any suggestions?

Thank you both for your suggestions.
Just for fun, I recalibrated but got the same results.
However...
I am using a Radeon X800GT video card that has two ports. I had not set up the second monitor yet and didn't have it turned on. When I turned it on, I got the "subscript out of range" warning suggesting that I was trying to send a screen resolution that the monitor couldn't handle.
I used an ATI utility to reset the secondary monitor to the correct resolution. Then when I opened Photoshop, the colors were not correct!
Apparantely, there was a conflict in the video card that was spilling over to affect Photoshop.
Getting the screen resolutions happy on both of my monitors fixed the Photoshop color problem.
Thanks again.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

HELP. ............Hi folks hope some one can help me please.Having a problem in Bridge I open my images in ACR, as I open files in a folder and lets say they are labeled in yellow they are all going back to the camera raw default , in other words no matter what work I have done, inc cropping they all go back to ,as they came out of camera. What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to yesterday, when this first started.
I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Robert,
Would you be so kind to rephrase your question with concise, precise information and without any "let's say that" hypotheticals? Sorry, I can't quite follow you.
Also please give exact versions of Photoshop CS6 (13.what.what), of Bridge and of your OS.
Thanks.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
Can't it be done easier???
I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
Thx.

1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
Try this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

I can't preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. Help!

Hi, I want to know why can't I preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. It's really frustrating as an increasing number of Illustrator files are saved in this format and I need to check through a gazillion of them. Help!

Thanks for the promt reply Omke!
That was the reason why the thumbnail icons weren't showing up in Bridge. Saving to include XMP data somehow brings in the previews in Bridge.
I don't really need SVG files for print jobs (prefer .eps or .ai), however this appears to be the preferred file format at the picture library where I bought the vector images.
Darn, I was hoping that was not the solution, as in order to view the images in Bridge, I will first have to open and re-save them.
Seems painful but thanks all the same. Would there be a way in Bridge to batch open and re-save files in another format, say from .svg to .ai ?
