Problem loading Bridge CS6, what is the problem?

I have just uploaded the subscription version of Photoshop CS6 and I can't get Adobe Bridge to load, any one have any ideas as to why?

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
However, you'll need to provide some additional information in order for others to help you. Please provide additional relevant details including:
Adobe product and version number
Operating system and version number
The full text of any error message(s)
What you were doing when the problem occurred
Screenshots of the problem
Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; amount of RAM; etc.

When opening Bridge (CS6) I get the following message: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I tried and after selecting purge cache it does not allow me to select OK. Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.
In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:
Reset Preferences
Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
Reset Standard Workspaces
Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.

Bridge CS6 part of the Cloud subscription?

Is Bridge CS6 part of the Cloud subscription? I don't see it available as a download option, and my

Bridge is not a separate standalone download. It installs automatically alongside the other apps.

2 questions about bridge cs6 is always the rotate lossless? and high quality on demand

Hi
about bridge cs6 the rotate buttons rotate 90° counter and 90°clockwise is lossless ? i mean without loss of quality ?
and my i know the meaning of high quality on demand? might someone make an example?
thanks a lot

That's why I have never bothered to conduct such a test. A complete waste of time, in my opinion.
I would not put it that way because it always interesting to what extend users like to go or come up with for testing
But in basic, yes you are right. If you need such extreme test to proof the theory wrong the practice still is a winner. If you can't see it with your own eyes it is not really important but to fill an academic paper. In real life neither you, nor the customer or viewer would notice any difference
According to the discussion about jpeg vs Raw, of course Raw has a ton of benefits above jpeg. Personally I almost never shoot jpeg but I do know people that do to satisfaction.
Suppose you are a sports photographer and need both speed in writing to the card as in post process etc. You are working under know and solid light conditions and have measured your wight balance and set it manual. This provides very good qualities (that is if you have set the jpeg quality to high or max in camera) and shot with a recent good dSLR it produces files that can be published without problems on a magazine spread.
I can't see disadvantage for such situations. However, you have to be aware that for future use your options are still limited when deciding to change post processing. Color temperature, exposure etc etc are far more flexible with Raw then jpeg.
The vast majority of my clients want jpeg and that is what I convert to when files are ready. Yet I keep my original DNG and PSD file.
Especially the archived Raw (in my case since 2008 converted DNG from CR2 files) is important. I can't tell you how surprise I am every time I open a raw file from 10 years ago in todays Raw converters. They have been improved very much and are able to get more out of your old files then you ever could imagine.
And to finish with an other plus side of Raw. If you need to enlarge old and new raw files to huge billboards you will discover that the results of the Raw are far more superior

Bridge cs6 why do the photos have poor quality in full screen preview ?

Hi
windows 7 64bit , bridge cs6

why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

.mov won't play in quicktime after previewing in photoshop bridge cs6, what do I do to fix?

I have a iMac, OS X 10.8.5, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5.
I don't like how iphoto organizes my files so have been organizing my photos and videos from my iphone into folders after exporting them from iphoto.
These are the steps I believe I took in regards to my "corrupted" .mov file:
-imported into iphoto
-exported originals from iphoto
-re-organized photos and videos using adobe bridge CS6
-tried to open my .mov from bridge (default is to open in quicktime), I'm getting a small black quicktime box (as compared to a large window where the file will play), but video will not play.
-video will play inside of bridge preview window but file will not play in quicktime.
HOW DO I GET MY FILE TO PLAY IN QUICKTIME?
DID I MISS A HIDDEN FILE WHEN MANUALLY MOVING THE FILES IN BRIDGE?
I no longer use this process.
I am using image capture to import and then organizing from there.
I don't believe I have an issue with my .mov files anymore.
This seems like something caused by iphoto. ????

Upon further research, I found that a certain QT plug-in is required to use XDCAM EX footage in Final Cut Express, which can be found on this website:

I downloaded the demo, but have no idea how to use it to convert my files so FCE will accept it. Is anyone familiar with this plug-in and what to do once it is downloaded?

Qemu bridged networking -- What is the id parameter?

dear arch experts---I am trying to run arch as a guest, that then serves a website to the internet. I think I got pretty far. I am following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QE … dge-helper .
on the host:
cat > /etc/qemu/bridge.conf
allow br0
allow bridge0
EOF
chmod u+s /usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper
I add the bridge
brctl addbr bridge0 eth0
and bring up the link
ip link set up dev bridge 0
now I need to start up.
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 $* -hda arch.vmdk -netdev bridge,br=bridge0
almost.
>> qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev bridge,br=bridge0: Parameter 'id' is missing
I tried to add id=eth0, but this only gives me a warning that "netdev eth0 has no peer". it starts up, but then I have no networking in the guest.
for a networking qemu guru, this is probably a 10 second question, but I am stumped. help appreciated.

hmmm...on a ubuntu host, something like
-net nic,model=virtio,netdev=hn0 -netdev bridge,br=bridge0,id=hn0
seems to work. not sure why, but it does ;-).

Mac Pro first generation can't load Mavericks. What is the technical reason?

Someone I know has an original Mac Pro, from 2006. I know it says that Mavericks requires at least a 2008 Mac Pro. What is the technical reasons for not including older hardware? I understand the points about the G5 and before cannot go higher than Leopard, because they stopped supporting non-Intel Macs. However, the Mac Pro, is an Intel Mac, and of course I know that Apple wants you on newer hardware, but that original Mac Pro is still a capable machine. I would like to know if there is something about what is in Mavericks (and future OSes) that precludes them from installing on older Intel Macs.

That computer has a 32-bit EFI. Mavericks requires a 64-bit one.

Why are missing from the Bridge CS6 menu: Tools the entries?

Hello all
why are missing for me in the Bridge of CS6 in the menu item Tools, the entries for Fireworks, Photoshop and Illustrator?
Since I installed the Creative Cloud CS6, these entries are missing.
A screen name is required to continue. Please enter a screen name.

Click edit/preferences/startup scripts and make sure you have at least Bridge and Photoshop checked.

In photoshop cs6, what is the standard width, heighth and resolution I should set my photoshop to? How do I determine when and how to make changes accordingly?

I'm trying to change the pixel and width settings in photoshop but I messed around with the number settings and for some reason these numbers have saved. Everytime I open photoshop, my canvas is a very small rectangle. Any ideas on what the default settings would be?
Thanks!

When you type in the values, those values will be used the next time you open the new dialog box. However It you look above you will see a drop down box that list different media, below that is the presets for that media. When you choose the preset it fills in the text boxes for you.
To answer your question there is no standard, but the presets are a good starting point. Generally you first decide on what media you will be designing for starting with the highest resolution first and working your way down the list to the lowest.
For example a printed ad would be designed before a website as it is easier to remove pixels than it is to add them.
BTW one of the presets is default which is the values that were in those text boxes when you first installed photoshop which is 5" x 7" at 300ppi. That happens to be a size used for pictures when you have them printed to fit a 5 x 7 picture frame.

Bridge CS6 cache problem causes freeze

MacPro early 2008, 10 mb RAM, Apple OSX 10.7.3, CS5 already installed.
CS6 Beta was working fine until today.
Now when I open Bridge CS6 I get "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation." I then try to purge the cache, but nothing happens and Bridge freezes.
Worse, I cannot use my keyboard at all or perform any mouse click actions if Bridge is the active window. I cannot close Bridge. What I can do is alt/tab to another window, and then Force Close Bridge.
I have tried restarting the MacPro but this does not solve the problem.
The problem started earlier today after I re-edited a nef which I had previously edited in ACR 6. I cancelled all the previous edits first.
Also, yesterday I installed Little Snitch, which I have now uninstalled.
There are no CrashReporter logs for the freezing problem.

How is your disk free space? When I loaded Bridge CS6 the default option was for 100% preview. That takes a lot of time and space to build. Can occupy gigs of space.
I reset thumbnails to embedded. Much smaller and faster and for me works just fine.

Have you had problems with Bridge CS6 after CR 8.4 installed?

Adobe Bridge CS6 running on Mac OS X 10.7.5 crashed several times while sorting images . After installing Camera Raw 8.4, images in portrait orientation rotated to landscape and now the rotate image buttons and menuitems are unavailable for raw files including dng's. Camera Raw preferences will not open from Bridge. What is the best approach for uninstalling/reinstalling Bridge and CR updates? Should I reinstall Photoshop as well?

I do recommend that anyone who is having weird issues with iTunes try Dave's suggestion of UNINSTALLING Flip4Mac and see what happens (but will an uninstall get rid of this particular file? who knows).
Good point, and something I should not have trusted without confirming. I just tried it and the uninstaller does not remove that framework. That's a serious "oops" on the part of Telestream (and I did confirm that the Flip4Mac installer does install that framework). The framework folder will need to be removed manually.
Regards.

Continuing Bridge Cs6 problems

Have been close to a month now and no Bridge? Have uninstalled CS6 again. How can you do a Beta with half the program. Since the Bridge anomally seems to be happening in Windows and Mac, it would seem someone could figure this out.
To recap once more:
OS Mac 10.7.3, PS CS5 is not running, download of CS6 OK, PS CS6 opens OK, Bridge CS6 opens existing Bridge CS5. This is usable with PS CS6 by toggling back and forth But it is Bridge CS5. Under Bridge file associations the opening process does change the CS5 Bridge files to CS6 However a reset and open still generates a Apple crash report to Apple. No report is generated to Adobe?? Then a retry opening Bridge CS6 again sets the CS5 files to 6 but opens Bridge CS5. This is true whether the launch is out of Applications,PS, or Mini Bridge.
So - I would hope this is resolved before the final version comes out?? Will there be a good discount for half a program?

As a follow up on my email to you - all is still working well with the following exceptions: Crop in PS doesn't work. Crop in ACR does work. Crop in PS show the crop but does not actually implement it. The PS view mode shows the new dimensions but the Image size information window still shows the uncropped actual dimensions, as does the bottom tab for file size etc. Any thoughts on this? Also on "Save As" - CS5 when saving out of PS switches to Bridge automatically. CS6 "Save As" moves the file behind the scene but keeps the visual in PS then when a delete is done you end up looking at a blank page and having to toggle over to Bridge for the next file. Additionally mini Bridge isn't allowing for subfolders to show for access. i.e. have a import folder for new pictures under the hard drive main Pictures folder. Picture shows up but not any subfolders underneath??

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.

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
