Ques about the Bridge CS6

The Bridge for Photoshop CS6 did not download with the program. How can I get access to it???

Not sure what you are saying. Bridge is installed with any Photoshop install. If it doesn't show up or you cannot launch it, something is wrong, but your description is far too vague to even begin to guess. Provide system specs and explain what exactly isn't working.

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.

How to Replace All the Bridge CS6 Stock Keywords With Bridge CS5 Keywords

I have CS6 working in a different computer than the one that houses CS5. Bridge CS6 can read CS5 keywords when it opens an "old" photo but it has none of its own (besides the stock ones that came with the program). How can I replace all the stock CS6 keywords with the keywords from CS5?

Have you tried the Import/Export options from the tiny menu at the top-right of the Keywords panel?

Ques. about the 30" please

Good day to all.
I have a 30" display and no matter what type of image, and I'm talkiing about hi rez, I'm getting the "rainbow" effect around the top of the image.
I'm calabrated with the spyder 2 to no avail.
My card is a fairly new x800xt My settings are: 2560x1600 Colors: Millions
Can anyone give me some guidence please?
Thank you.
Tom

you mean like random colored pixels at the top, or stripes of colors? if it is pixelated, one possible reason could be memory or controller corruption on the display adapter itself. sounds like the x800 needs to be returned.

I am trying to use the Mini Bridge in Adobe Photoshop CS6 (desktop) and all I get is "Waiting for Bridge CS6 ..." in the panel at the bottom of the screen.

I am running on a Core i7 iMac with 20GB or RAM and have already done the two applicable steps in the main Adobe help area relating to Switchboard (Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel) to no avail. Any ideas?

Have you tried to start the bridge CS6 then open Photoshop CS6 try to use the mini bridge.
I have a problem on windows too. Sometimes when I open CS6 version 13.1.2 and try to use the mini bridge Its panels has a message Bridge must be running and there is a launch bridge button. When I use that button Bridge gets launched but may hangs before displaying its application window or anything in the mini bridge panel. I can terminate the bridge when this happens with windows task manager and start the bridge. After doing that the mini bridge launch button became a reconnect button using it mini bridge then work.
I can also start Bridge CS6 before Photoshop CS6 and mini bridge works as soon as Photoshop is up and running.

File Associations in Bridge CS6

I upgraded CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design & Web Premium. Most of my preferences (layout, etc) were imported correctly from CS5. When I right-click (PC, Windows 7) on the Bridge CS6 thumbnail, and click on 'Open with ...', there was a collection of Microsoft programs (COM Surrogate 6.1, Microsoft PowerPoint 12.0, Publisher 12.0, Windows Live Photo Gallery 15.4), and no Photoshop (Default). When I used the WIndows fille-associations program, and Photoshop CS6 was associated with *.psd files, then it appeared in the 'Open with ...' menu as Photoshop (Default). However, the other Microsoft programs are still present. How do I get rid of these and add the relevant Adobe programs (Ai, Id, Dw, etc), please?

With Windows 7 unfortunately you're not really given the tools to completely manage what shows up in the context menu. It seems to be part of Microsoft's strategy of oversimplifying things, even when there's loss of functionality, so that laypeople don't find Windows daunting. I always figured better education and help facilities ought to do the trick, but they continually take the power to control one's own computer away. You don't want to know what's coming in Windows 8.

Can I install the traditional CS6 product (not creative cloud) on a mac and a windows pc?

Hey,
I already know that with creative cloud I can install CS6 on both a mac and a windows pc.
But what about the traditional CS6 version (without creative cloud membership).
Is it possible to install on both mac and windows pc, too, or is it restricted to one operating system, like in CS5.5 still?

Traditional versions (perpetual licenses) are still platform specific: Windows only or Mac only.
Installation on both Mac and PC is one of the USPs (Unique Selling Propositions) of the Cloud versions.

Bridge CS6, CC refuses to work

So here's my delimma; i'm wanting to process my JPGs in Raw from Bridge, but I can't get bridge to work.
I had CS5, CS6 and uninstalled both, then installed CC hoping that it would fix the Bridge problem but it didn't. Every time I open it I get 'opration can not be completed' then it stalls at 'building critera' with the wheel spinning in the lower left corner. I checked console to see if there was a message coming up, and there is something going on with the audio drivers. At first it was one particular HAS pulgin (Jack Router) that was casuing it to screw up, so I deleted it.
No avail.
Basically I get the error message every time I open Bridge, then I try and click something and it freezes up. I've held down 'option' on startup and reset EVERYTHING. I've run Disk utility and FSCKd the disk to make sure it was clean.
Mac OSX 10.8.4
Macbook Pro Late 2011 15in i7 16GB 1600MHz (I run photoshop without error)
Over 250gb left on my HD
I'll attach the screenshots of the console messages. But here's the checklist of what DOES NOT work:
Reset Bridge
Restart Computer
FSCK (repairing permissions the hardcore way)
Uninstalling CS5 and 6
Running under the Root account (same error message)

Uninstalling CS5 and 6 will not have any effect, except it might foul up file associations. If you are going to not reinstall CS5 and CS6 I would uninstall CC also, run Adobe Script Cleaner then reinstall CC. If you want CS5 and CS6 best to install in order, CS5, CS6, CC. Remember, if you stop subscription to CC you have nothing.
You may also want to try this. It is for CS6 but change to CC and Bridge 6
~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
(both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
also drag this file to the trash.
Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Choose reset prefs and try again.

Bridge CS6 Cache and Freezing Issues

I downloaded Bridge CS6 and I have not been able to use it yet. I am on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.4 and every time I launch Bridge I get the following error:
Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation.
When I try to purge the cache Bridge freezes up. If I don't try and purge the cache I am unable to navigate to any folders on my computer and it just hangs. I eventually have to force quit to get out of it. So far Bridge CS6 has been completely unusable.
Please help.
Thanks.

When I go to ~Library/Caches/ there is a folder for com.adobe.bridge5 but there isn't one for com.adobe.bridge6
Your in the wrong folder. Follow the path you have discovered yourself using the pref settings Curt suggested

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

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

Adobe Bridge CS6 is malfunctioning after the last update raw 8.0.199. Several problems.

Anything known on this issue? Solutions? Even importing files from memory card is a problem.
In import window images are not diplayed as images but all the same blue mini images.
vertical files are changed into landscape positions and more. Mac version.

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is 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 (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
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,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Why when I add/import bridge CS6 photos into Lightroom 5 the photo totals don't match?

I have added about 3,200 photos into Bridge CS6 and many have been edited. I went into Lightroom to Library/Import/add and only about 2800 were added. Anyone know why I don't see all of them? I even double check the import and don't see any new ones that I missed. Hope it's something simple.

Found it.
At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
Thanks.

In Bridge CS6, my "Tools" tab is now missing the Image Processor option.

Hello!
Two glaring changes were made in my system all by itself. One is that in Bridge CS6, under the "Tools" tab, the "Image Processor" option is gone. All that's left is Batch Rename and Cache options. Does anyone know why this happened or how to restore this. Also, whenever I double click an image, it now goes directly to Photoshop as opposed to opening in Camera Raw first like it used to. All and any help is appeciated. Thank you!!!
Eric

Curt, thank you for your response. I did try that. I unchecked then
reselected all start up options and still nothing. Any other
suggestions?
