Renaming files in Bridge CS4

I forgot to rename my files before processing.  I now have the XMP files for all the CRW images.  If I rename the CR2 files will the XMP files follow the renaming process.
My main concern is that I may have XMP files for all the CR2 files.
Thoughts??
Thanks,

  • MD5 Checksum Changes When Renaming Files in Bridge?

    Just like the title says: MD5 checksum seems to be changing when renaming files in Bridge
    Is this normal? Is there anyway to disable this? Checksums do not seem to change when renaming a file outside of Bridge (ie; in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder).

    P.S. System is Windows 7 using Bridge CS6 (64bit)

    Thanks for the quick reply Curt.
    Until you just now asked the question, I could not explain why it should not change. Now, if I understand correctly after googling around a bit, it appears the hash can be computed either with or without the filename (among other things).
    Apparently Bridge computes the hash including the filename. It seems there is an option to compute the hash based only on the file contents (ie; without the filename). My assumption was that by default, the checksum was generated using only the files contents (ie; without the filename).
    I'm hoping someone can comment definitively on how Adobe Bridge does it and whether or not there's a way to change it.

  • Weird Thumbnail Dimensions for EPS Files in Bridge CS4

    Using Preferences> Thumbnails, I have set Bridge CS4 to show "Dimensions" as one of the metadata items. It works correctly for PSD, NEF, and TIF files, but not EPS files. For example, a PSD file may show dimensions of 1006 x 583 pixels. But he same image converted to EPS format shows the dimensions as 207 x 120. Why is this not also showing as 1006 x 583? Is Bridge reading dimensions of the embedded preview image? And, if so, why is it not reading the dimensions of the main image, instead?

  • Cannot view cr2 files in Bridge cs4 & Windows 7

    I can not convert the cr2 files in cs4      nor read them with new Windows 7      Home Edition 64 bit computer
    Upon      downloading from my camera I am unable to view the images.
    After      downloading the file, when clicking on the file in Bridge to bring it into      Photoshop I get the following message” Could not complete your request      because it is not the right kind of document”
    I am      able to view the images on the media card from the camera.
    I have      contacted Canon and they suggest that it’s a software issue and that I      should  go to the Adobe website and      look for Windows 7 64 updater.
    I was      unable to find anything with this reference but I updated to Bridge 5.7.
    After      trying to see the images after the update I was still unable to view the      images so I logged onto the Adobe Support site and was told that they no      longer support cs4.
    Any suggestions ?

    Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
    The way that works is this:
    1.  You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
    2.  You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
    3.  It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
    4.  You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
    While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

  • Can't open .cr2 files in Bridge CS4 v.3

    Been browsing for hours; can't find the right answer...
    I just purchased a Canon 60D, which shoots .cr2 raw files. They won't open in Bridge, which previously opened my Canon 10D .crw raw files. What do I need to do to make the .cr2 files open?
    I'd rather not install Canon's Digital Photo Professional 3.10 (came with camera) if I can find a solution/upgrade within Bridge/PSE.
    Details:
    MacBook OS X 10.5.8
    Bridge CS4, completely updated to v. 3 with Camera Raw v. 5.7 (which are the latest updates available, I think; just updated today).
    Photoshop Elements 8
    Thanks in advance.

    Your CR2 files from the 60D are not supported for your version of ACR.
    Each vendor uses different Raw type and sadly enough they use also a different raw type for each new camera the produce. Adobe offers free upgrade for those cameras, about 3 or 4 times a year. In the past they could not get the new Raw types earlier then the consumers so often this meant you had to wait for a period before the ability in ACR was there. Today they have a better relationship and often get pre production models so the updates are already there when the new cameras arrive on the market.
    However being a commercial company they don't offer those upgrades for other then the latest versions of ACR and Photoshop. Currently CS6 and CC are both getting the updates but earlier version are not upgraded any longer.
    Here is a list of the cameras that are supported and the minimum ACR versions needed for the cameras:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    There is another option available and that is the free Adobe DNG converter. The latest version is here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5596
    Or if the link does not work do a search on Adobe.com your self. After the files have been converted to DNG you will be able to use them in your version of ACR.

  • How can I view Sony ARW files in Bridge CS4?

    Hello
    I have a Sony A390, which takes ARW files (I guess Sony's version of a RAW file?), which annoyingly do not show up in Bridge CS4. Would really like to know if there is a way round this please? I have tried updating through Bridge, but it claims there are currently no updates?
    Thank you!

    You can not open those files from CS4 directly.
    That camera was first supported by ACR 6.2, which requires CS5 to run.
    Look for, download, install and then run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.5 to convert your raw Sony files into raw DNGs that you can later open in CS4.

  • Cannot sort files in bridge cs4

    Hi
    As you know it, since Windows XP xp2, the explorer sorts the files this way :
    1, 002, 03, 000004...
    For getting back the "right" alphabetical way, you can change the registry. So did I.
    Now in the explorer, I get the files sorted like this :
    000004, 002, 03, 1
    Well
    but in adobe bridge CS4, nothing changes. the files are sorted : 1, 002, 03, 000004...
    Is there a way to have the files sorted like in explorer ?
    thanks for your replies
    (Sorry for my bad english)

    Yes it can be done but it's very messy!
    The following script should do the job BUT it does require you select Manual sort and move any document first! This makes sure that a hidden file .BridgeSort is created in the folder. This file is re-created into the correct order then a new window is opened and the old window closed. This is because Bridge only reads this file when it opens.
    Using ExtendScript Toolkit copy and paste the code into a new window, start Bridge - Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts, click the "Reveal" button. This will open the folder that the script should be placed. Once that has been done close and restart Bridge and accept the new script. You will now have a new menu item "AlphaSort"
    #target bridge  
    if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
    var newMenuSort = new MenuElement( "menu", "Alpha Sort", "after Help", "mySortData" );
    var newSortCommand = new MenuElement( "command", "Alpha Sort", "at the end of mySortData" , "xxxx" );
    newSortCommand.onSelect = function () {
       alphaSort();
    function alphaSort(){
    var file = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
    if(!file.exists){
        alert("Please select manual sort and move one document before running this script!");
        return;
    file.hidden=false;
    file.open('r');
    var data = file.read();
    file.close();
    data = data.split('\n');
    var Items=[];
    for (var a in data){
        if(data[a].match(/item/g)) Items.push(data[a]);
    app.document.sorts = [{ name:"file-size",type:"dimensions", reverse:false }];
    Items = Items.sort();
    try{
    file.remove();
    file.open("w", "TEXT", "????");
    }catch(e){alert(e+" - "+e.line);}
    $.os.search(/windows/i)  != -1 ? file.lineFeed = 'windows'  : file.lineFeed = 'macintosh';
    file.writeln("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>");
    file.writeln("<dirinfo>");
    file.writeln("<files>");
    for(var s in Items){
        file.writeln(Items[s]);
    file.writeln("</files>");
    file.writeln("</dirinfo>");
    file.close();
    file.hidden=true;
    app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];
    app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");
    app.documents[0].close();

  • Open .ico files from Bridge CS4

    Hey all,
    I just got done reformatting my hard drive. After reinstalling my Adobe CS4 software, I can't open .ico files from Bridge -- before the hard drive reformat I COULD open .ico files from Bridge. I can open .ico files directly from Photoshop (I've got the telegraphics.com/au .ico plugin installed in Photoshop to open and save .ico files.)
    If I right-click an .ico file in Bridge and select "Open With" the only option is: COM Surrogate 6.1 (default).
    Looking at Preferences > File Type Associations, .ico file type isn't available in the file type list. Anyone know what setting or preference I need to change to open .ico files in Bridge?
    Appreciate your help,
    Brian

    Never mind... I closed Bridge by selecting File > Exit (instead of clicking the close button in the upper-right of the program window) and after restarting I'm able to open the .ico files.

  • Unable to Delete Files From Bridge CS4

    I am trying to delete file from bridge and all the sudden I am getting the message that I dont have permisson to delete file. I have done several troubleshooting methods and nothing works. Deleted prefs, cache, checked file permisions, repaired HD permissions, reset workspace, turned off startup scripts, etc..... Anyone had this problem or have any idea what may be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Colby

    Ok I can delete via bridge using a different user account. So its bridge/user
    account but not sure what the solution is. Would it be best to remove/install
    a new copy of bridge?
    I don't think reinstall Bridge is the solution. You might first want to try
    this:
    Quit Bridge, from user library preference folder delete the Adobe bridge
    plist file manual to the trash.
    Then restart Bridge again with holding down option key and from menu choose
    refresh preferences.
    Try again, if no luck then consider a better user check then only disk
    permissions.
    You can start with the original install disk from MacOs. Restart from this
    disk and start with a check and repair disk and check and repair disk
    permissions.
    You also might consider an other disk utility like Disk Warrior or Disk
    Tools Pro but they are not for free.
    If not the solution you might consider to migrate your user to a new
    account.

  • How to correct "No timestamps were found on any of the image files" in Bridge CS4?

    I am trying to process a "Auto-stack Panorama/HDR" images and I keep getting the error message "No timestamps were found on any of the image files".  I don't understand what this means and how to correct the issue so I can process my images.  All of the images are .CR2 raw files, which Bridge shouldn't have issues with.
    Can anyone help with correcting the issue of the timestamps?
    Thank you.

  • Can't assign keyword to my raw (.nef) files in Bridge cs4

    I have no problems assigning the keywords on my list onto my .jpg files (by selecting the file, and then check the box on the left of any keyword on the keyword list), but when I try to do the same to my .nef (raw) files, the message "The file "xxx.nef" cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." comes up, and won't let me add the keywords.
    I believe that metadata (including keywords) for this type of files in Bridge is stored in sidecar xmp files in order not to alter anything in the original file, but if that is the case, is there a way that I can add keywords/ metadata into the sidecar xmp files in Bridge?
    Thanks in advance!

    As a Canon user I have no experience with NEF files but also can't recall problems with not writing metadata to it in Bridge.
    Can you provide more details on how you handle these files. Are they not locked, and not stored on read only storage? or are they just plain NEF files imported from your CF card to the computer?
    Have you also tried to convert the NEF to DNG files using the free Adobe DNG Converter?
    Metadata is stored in the XMP data inside the file itself and should also stay there after converting to other file formats like tiff or jpg. The data for changes made in ACR are stored in a sidecar XMP file if you have set the preferences for it in Bridge.

  • Can you rename files in Bridge and relink in InDesign automatically?

    I have a 250+ page InDesign file with 800+ links to images.
    The problem I'm having is the images have French file names.  I want to remove the French text and rename the images to English.
    If I rename the images in Adobe Bridge will the Indesign links remain?
    I'm using CS5.5

    Unfortunately no.
    But fortunately there's a script!
