PSE6 + Bridge CS3

I have PSE6  and Bridge CS3 installed on my G5 iMac. PSE works fine but if I try in open Bridge I get the message...You can't open the application "Bridge CS3.app" because it is not supported on this architecture...  Is it a case that it will only run on an Intel processor? If not, any suggestions please.

George,
That can't be done.
If you do a forum search on
iPhoto you will find existing threads where this has been discussed before, for instance:

You don't
"import" images
"into" Bridge. You just browse and open them wherever they reside in the Finder.
iPhoto, on the other hand, creates a virtual library and hides your images from access through the Finder... and from Bridge.
Good luck with Elements 6. I just requested a refund for a copy I had bought for a laptop. First time I have ever returned an Adobe product, and I've been an Adobe customer for well over 20 years.
I guess if you've never used the full Photoshop, you won't know what you're missing. I found Elements overwhelmingly, oppressively limited. Even ACR is bestially crippled when hosted by Elements, even though it is the same plug-in used by the full version of Photoshop.
The
free GIMP is far, far superior to Elements.
Oh well... I hated iPhoto too. :/

  • Tags / Keywords PSE6 -- Bridge CS3 how???

    Hello,
    sorry to cause inconvenience to you but i can´t find an answer to my question here in the forum.
    I read a lot of similar threads, but no one answerd my problem BridgeCS3 <-> PSE6.
    What i have:
    Bridge CS3 / Photoshop CS3 / Photoshop Elements 6.0
    What i want to do:
    At this time i organize all my photos with the Organizer of PSE6 and put keywords
    with the Tags-function from PSE6 to my photos.
    Now i want to change to the bridge to organize my photos.
    What i need:
    Now i need a functionality to import all my keywords/tags from PSE6 into the bridge.
    What i have done until now:
    In PSE6-Organizer i export all my keywords to a file. The automatic generated file
    from PSE6 is named: stichwort.xml . I can´t change the format or name in PSE6 to write the Tags
    to a file.
    In the bridge i tried to import the "stichwort.xml"-File, but that doesnt work.. There are no structures
    and useable Keywords coming into the bridge.
    So... is it general possible to import the Tags/Structure form PSE6 into the BridgeCS3 ??
    And when... what´s my fault? Can you give me a hint?
    Thanks for help.
    Bye

    There was a post some time ago that I will try to recall - hopefully not too inaccurately. I have never used PSE so don't really know what you are trying to do.
    The way I remember it PSE uses some sort of a table for the keywords. Bridge does not, but embeds the information as metadata to each file. Apparently this is more of a standardized format for the data and can be used by other applications.
    For a clearer explanation on how the information is handled go to Bridge Help and type in metadata. It does say something about ability to export metadata so maybe that would work for you.
    Before you go to all that effort you might investigate how PSE Organizer may handle the data in the future. Can never tell - the next upgrade may change that feature also. Perhaps PSE forum?

  • PSE6 Bridge CS3 - can I import from iPhoto

    I have the new PSE6 (love it) and Bridge CS3 (ambivalent) and iPhoto (easy to use) on the same imac 24. I have imported from my reader into iPhoto - over 2000 pics - but want the functionality of PSE6 to manipulate images.
    Can it be done? I really do not want to duplicate 2000 pics on my hard drive. The only way I have been able to do individuals is from the base directory, with no ability to browse properly. It IS frustrating, and probably only needs a little tweek.
    I use a Canon 40d and have tried the sRAW concept, with crap results

  • Bridge CS3 no longer renders RAW thumbnails

    Running PSE9 on OS 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.  Also running Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9 that I believe came bundled with PSE4 and which I have become fond of using as a tool for importing photos and other steps early in my workflow.  I shoot almost exclusively in RAW and sometimes in RAW/JPEG.  Recently, having made no change that I can remember, Bridge is no longer able to render thumbnails of the RAW files, instead showing just a thumbnail of a white sheet with the corner turned down; JPEG thumbnails render just fine.
    I would be extremely grateful for anyone that can help me get the RAW thumbnails working again.  I suspect some anciliary file outside of the main program package since Adobe is so fond of sprinking useful files all over the place if that rings any bells.
    I have tried to find a standalone Bridge CS3 installer on the web that I might use to re-write whatever is missing but I cannot find it.  It's an unusual request but if anyone would lend theirs to me I would also be grateful.
    Thank you in advance.

    Turns out my sister is more a packrat than me and she still had her original PSE6 disk, which was also bundled with Bridge CS3.  Uninstalled/deleted 9 and Bridge and removed every trace of them and prior versions I could find (e.g Library files) to a flash drive.  Installed 6 along with Bridge and all seems to be back to normal.
    Hopefully everything else still works right and I won't have to try-and-err putting Library files back one-by-one or something.  Once it feels like all is stable I'll be putting in my upgrades to PSE9.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

    Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
    I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
    I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
    Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
    Is this a common problem?

    Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
    It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
    I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

  • Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

    A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

    Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.

  • Don't have permission to delete files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3

    Help!
    I'm unable to delete image files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3.
    Workflow:
    1. Take a bunch of photos on my Nikon
    2. Load them to my MacBook Pro, 10.6.3
    3. Open them in Preview and right-click "Move to Trash" on the photos that I don't want.
    ==> this results in "Move to Trash Failed. Some files could not be moved to Trash."
    4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
    ==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
    I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.
    Permission on the image folder start out at
    me: Read & Write
    admin: Read only
    everyone: Read only
    but even if I change all to Read & Write, I still get the same errors.
    What's going on?????
    Thanks.

    Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue...

  • Why is my iPhone no longer able to communicate with adobe bridge cs3?

    We have 2 iphone 4's that I have been able to download photos from and into my imac for the last year while using the adobe bridge cs3. Recently, it began giving me  an error meassage: " Adobe bridge cs3 cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure that the device is connected properly,or that the battery is charged, adn try again".
    I did both and that message still pops up. My usb ports are working fine as well as the usb cords(as far as I know of) and the batteries are fully charged when I do so. So what is the deal here??? If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!!!

    Maro,
    I'm running VISTA on my PC. None of the suggestions solved the problem. I uninstalled iTunes removing all suggested files from another post and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.3 and removed the iTunes Ibarra from my iPhone Remote. I restarted the computer, iPhone &amp; router. I added the iTunes library to my iPhone remote. I didn't get an icon on the menu bar of the iTunes on the PC but a dialog came up asking for the code which was on my phone. I typed in the code and the library showed up on my iPhone Remote. I selected it and got an error message that it couldn't connect. This is extremely weird and frustrating. What should I do now?

  • Can't Directly Rate my Images using Stars in Adobe Bridge CS3

    Hi
    I can rate my images in Adobe Bridge CS3 by using the drop down 'Label' menu. However, I cannot rate my image by stars directly under my image thumbnails as my book suggests I can. The book states: "You can also assign stars directly under the thumbnail by clicking on the dots".
    Is there anyway I can do this? Do I have to change some preferences?
    Many thanks in advance for anticipated help.

    try resetting your preferences by holding Ctrl right after you launch Bridge(you have to be fast, you'll get a dialog box if you succeeded)
    Though you'd need to do this only if you are doing it correctly in the first place. With a picture selected you'll notice 5 small dots beneath its thumbnail which you can click on to rate things. If you don't see the dots then increase the thumbnail size by adjusting the slider at the bottom of the screen

  • Some workstations not allowing Adobe Bridge CS3 application launch

    Hi all.
    I'm pretty new at helping manage a MIDI/art lab at a high school campus (not new to Macs, but new to this issue).
    We have a student login for an art class where students should have complete access to the Adobe CS3 suite of applications. The account is logging in on a server, running apps on the local hard drives, and an entire class of students all log in at once. We've tried to keep all the iMacs current in terms of Adobe updates and other software updates.
    The problem is this: there are four iMacs which - in spite of all updates being equal, and the fact that all users are logging into a network account (thus all having the same set of rules, permissions, and restrictions) - fail to allow students to use Adobe Bridge. At these four stations, launching Bridge gets this error:
    +*The Application "Bridge CS3" is not allowed.*+
    +"Bridge CS3"is not on the approved list of applications. Contact the person who set up your account for more information.+
    We've tried several things, including running Adobe updater (again), Apple software update, and resetting/trashing Bridge's prefs.
    Again, every user should be experiencing the same permissions and restrictions, and this issue seems to be tied to hardware as it only applies on four of the iMacs. Logging in as an administrator or a local account with full permission allows clear access to Bridge. However, we need the Art Class account to work on all our stations as students use Bridge regularly for class.
    Any input and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    (By the way, these are Intel iMacs running, I would presume, Snow Leopard. The model and OS info shown below are my machine, not the lab stations.)

  • Keyword selection function in Adobe Bridge CS3

    Hello,
    Does anybody know if and how I can change the "selection criteria" of keywords in Adobe Bridge CS3?
    -> selection criteria: If I want to use the filter with the keywords, it selects the images which include any of the selected keywords (OR-function), but I would like to select only those images which have all of the selected keywords(AND-function).
    Example: In a holiday folder named "italy", I want to see all pictures with the keywords "beach" and "me". What I get are all the "beach" images and all the "me" images. How can I change this?
    Would be great if someone could help me...!
    Thanks!

  • Help, which windows Service msut be on to run Adobe Bridge CS3?

    hi all,
    I'm having trouble opening Adobe Bridge CS3, theres a windows popup that says "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message when i try to start.
    I can run the other Adobe Cs3 applications fine, i've been playing around with the disabling of windows services to increase bootup time. i'm afraid i may have accidentally disabled something necessary
    pls advice on how to get it working.. i'm on win xp pro sp2
    thanks

    When you get the "Bridge has encountered an error" popup box, check the technical info hyperlink to see what's the problem. It may point to a DLL that had an error.
    From there, check the web to see what that DLL relates to, which may or may not give you a lead. Maybe something that needs to be running in WinXP, maybe a 3rd party product that needs to be fixed/removed/re-installed.
    Why do I say this? I had the same issue on Bridge after getting the trial version. Worked for a while, then suddenly stopped working with the same startup dialog box and a quick shutdown. Digging a bit as above pointed to a DLL that was related to Quicktime. I went to the Apple site and downloaded/installed the latest version of Quicktime, and the Brige problem was cured.
