RAW converter in Bridge

The Elements Techniques March/April issue discusses the RAW cosnverter in Bridge that is a complete RAW converter that can be installed by updating the Adobe Bridge app but it does not seem to install. I have Elements 6 for Mac with Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9. Is this only available in Elements 8? hjz62

Yes, only for PSE 8.

Cs5 bridge has option..open in raw converter...greyed out

i just purchased and installed cs5, love the updates i have seen yet.....but cs5 bridge has stopped opening raw files, it actually never did open the first one..the option to open in camera raw is greyed out...i can use photoshop to open raws, one at a time...tried updating to raw converter 5.7,. cs5 still works, bridge does not...any thoughts?
Malcolm

ACR 5.7 is for CS4.
For CS5 you need Camera Raw 6.1.
You have to have the ACR in the correct folder and only one file there.

Question Re: Bridge Raw Converter

How do I open a JPEG or TIFF image (that is stored in iPhoto '09) in the Bridge-version of Raw Converter?
Here is what I have done. I moved an image from iPhoto to the desktop (I am using a MacBook Pro). Using Bridge, I selected the image. When I Ctrl-Click on the image, the drop-down menu does not have the "Open in Camera Raw" option.
However, if I download JPEG images directly from my camera, the "Open in Camera Raw" option is there.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you kindly.

Barbara,
Thank you for the response. First, I appreciate your comment about using the Export command to move an image out of iPhoto. In all honesty, I guess that I have become so used to dragging & dropping with the Mac OS that I never considered the downside of doing so in this case.
Most importantly, using the Export command solved my problem. Once the image is in my designated sub-folder in Pictures, Ctrl-Click open the drop-down menu which includes "Open in Camera Raw". Perfect.
Thanks again.

I can't delete raw files in bridge

I can't delete raw files in bridge anymore. I used to and it worked. Now if I click delete button, nothing happens.

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.

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.

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

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!

How to view the Nikon D4 RAW images in Bridge CS3

I am in the process of buying the lattest Nikon camera the D4. However, I am still using CS3. I am wondering if I am still going to be able to view and process the RAW images in Bridge? Will I need a plug in? If so, where can I download?

I am wondering if I am still going to be able to view and process the RAW images in Bridge?
No, according to this overview:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
the earliest support for Nikon D4 is ACR 6.7, the latest and last update of the Camera raw plug in that came with PSCS5
Will I need a plug in? If so, where can I download?
You can use the DNG route, meaning downloading the free DNG converter from Adobe and those DNG files will be viewable in CS3 and you can work with them.
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=106
While it is none of my business I just wonder why you buy a 5K $ state of the art top dSLR from 2012 and still use an 'old' piece of software released in 2007 to try and get the most out of it.
And sadly enough CS3 Bridge is known to be the worst version ever, you sure will benefit from at least CS5 but CS6 offers the new 2012 Process in ACR.

Canon 5d iii, Cant open my Raw images in bridge or photoshop

I have installed the most recent updates (8.3) and I still can't open my Raw files in bridge or photoshop CS5. Can someone please help me?

What have you installed that is version 8.3?
Camera Raw 8.3 is not compatible with CS5. You can go to PS-CS5 / Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw and see what version you have.
If you mean you have installed the DNG Converter 8.3, then installing it isn’t’ enough, you have to run it and convert your raw files to DNGs so they will open in an older version of the ACR plug-in.

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.

Canon 7d Mark II Raw Files In Bridge

I need help trying to figure out why my 7d2 Raw Files will not preview as thumbnails in Bridge. I have updated all my software, installed the new Raw converter, 8.7.1, and still the files show up, but there is no data associated with them nor will a preview/thumbnail show up. I can load the files one at a time, but cannot see which file I want to load so, this is unacceptable. Has anyone else had this problem? I have restarted my system to ensure all updates have been installed. It is really puzzling me. The fact that Bridge doesn't show any data on the files or recognize that a 7d2 was used must be a sign, but of what? Did the upload installation not work, or do i need to push a button somewhere in the software to activate the new driver? Need help! Thanks.

Thank-you for your help. I learned I installed the DNG Converter 8.7.1 not the ACR 8.7.1. So I installed that. I then updated Bridge from 5.1 to CC. I confirmed all other updates were installed, which they are and restarted. Everything now works like a champ.
Thank you for your help. This stuff is confusing, but I guess logical. But, I got 'er fixed. Appreciate you taking time to help!!

Viewing .RAF RAW files in Bridge CS5 on a Mac OS 10.6.8

I have just purchased a Fuji X30 Camera and cannot view the .RAF RAW files in Bridge CS5... I have a Mac OS 10.6.8
What do I need to do? Thanks, Webb

ABSOLUTELY NOT !.
Blame the photographer nor the camera or the software.—unless it's a cr@ppy camera or lens.
The DNG Converter does not touch your raw pixels at all. It just takes them from the RAF wrapper and puts them in a new DNG wrapper.

Opening RAW files with Bridge CS3

When I try to open a RAW file from Bridge CS3 it defaults to Mac Preview and does not open Photoshop Elements 6 RAW converter. If I open a RAW file outside of Bridge it work fine. What did I do wrong?? Using a iBook G4 with OS 10.5.8 and Photoshop Elements 6 and new Camera RAW plugin for my Panasonic LX3 camera. hjz62

Bridge requires the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw to be installed. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4581 Adobe states that this is the latest version of camera raw compatible with PSE-6 Mac. Others may have additional information.
As to the issue of defaulting to Apple software, this issue is usually a configuration problem wherein certain file extensions are granted permissin to be summarily opened by a given program. ((Right clicking any given file, then choosing "open with", and selecting a given program is a work around, but to avoid this step, you need to reconfigure your program settings.)) This is the Windows file path/solution, I am not familiar with Mac. I am confident that the issus is the same

Cannot open DNG files in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge?

I used Adobe DNG converter on a batch of NEF files (D300). The conversion was successful and the .dng files show up in Bridge with the right preview. However, when I double-click on any of these files, it launches Photoshop and opens the file in CR hosted by Photoshop. This in spite of having my preferences set to "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" in the Bridge preferences. Furthermore, a right-click (or control-click) on the file's thumbnail shows the Open With... item only has "Open with Adobe Photoshop CS3 (default)", and not the option to "Open with Camera Raw" that other RAW files have. Interestingly, if I do some editing in ACR, and click on "Done", then, right-click on the thumbnail, the missing options in the Open menu in Bridge re-appear!
I don't think this was happening before. Is this the expected behavior, or am I missing something?
My setup:
Bridge 2.1.1.9
Camera Raw 4.3.1
My computer:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz

Problem solved. I had to delete the preferences file (resetting preferences by pressing the required keys when launching Bridge did not solve the problem).
I am glad I learned that trick by visiting this forum!

Raw images in bridge

i have a question.
sometimes, when ik shoot raw, i already configure some options on my camera, like saturation or grayscale...
now, when i import these to brindge they look fine when i dont click on them (previeuw or open)
once i click on such an image, the presets that i made on my camera dissapear. so, for instance, a grayscale becomes color, an saturated picture becomes normal and so on...
why do these setting get lost once te images get previeuwed or opened?
I know, ik get rapplie the settings on each image to solve it, but this isnt they way i want it to go..
anyoe the same problem?
anyone a suggestion?
thanx!!!!

This has been answered many times before. Simply, Adobe Bridge ignores
all camera presets except white balance. When bridge first loads an image
it uses the imbedded JPG in the RAW file but as soon as you click on it,
bridge converts the RAW data using ARC defaults. There is no hope that
Bridge will ever honor camera presets.
Remember RAW is just that, raw and it must be cooked before its done.
If Bridge applied camera presets there would be no need for a raw
converter. Not all pictures need to be shot in RAW sometimes and for some
photographers JPGs are the best choice.
