Reveal in Bridge from Mac Finder

Hello all you Creative Suite users!
I want to right-click a folder in the Mac Finder (OS 10.5 or newer) and be able to choose Reveal in Bridge.
This is the reverse of right-clicking a folder within Bridge and choosing Reveal in Finder.
In Windows 7, an edit of the Registry gets this job done.
How can I accomplish this on Mac OS X (10.5 or newer)?
Best to you,
Mike Witherell in Maryland
PS: I am using CS6 on a two-year-old MacBookPro running 10.5.x

Couple of years down the line, but here are the instructions to write your own automator script for opening files from Finder into Bridge
1. Open Automator - you can do this by just typing the name into the spotlight search tool on the top right of your screen then click on it when it comes up as the top hit.
2. In the dialog that automator offers you when it opens, choose Service
3. At the top right 'Service receives selected' choose files or folders and Finder in the dialogue boxes. Then drag Open Finder Items from the list to the left and find Adobe Bridge CS6 in the dialogue box that comes up on the right in that red highlighted area - you may have to choose other and navigate to the Bridge app.
4. Save the file giving it a name that makes sense (like Open in Bridge CS6) as it is what you will see when you get the context sensitive menu (see below)

How do I open a photo from Mac Finder in Lightroom?

Here's the problem: I frequently need to search for photos in the Mac Finder (I actually use HoudahSpot and Path Finder, but it's similar with an exception I note below). I can search for keywords, like "yosemite." But the Finder and QuickLook are rather limiting; they don't reveal much photo metadata if any, and of course they show originals, since any edits or developments are in LR, not in the files themselves. And one does not export willy nilly, for that would defeat the purpose of having a DAM.
So far, OK (I'd love to have LR integrated into more applications, as Aperture and iPhoto are in some "Insert" menus, or in dialog boxes, but that would be too useful...maybe the new Photos application? ). So I'm looking at a jpeg (because Apple still doesn't have support for my RAWs, but same result) that I think I wanna use. And I want to find it in Lightroom. But if I double click it, of course I'd get Photoshop or whatever application is the default for images. In Path Finder or some other utilities, unlike the Finder, I can actually select open in LR. But when LR does open, it shoots me to the import module. Not what I want.
So, if one is looking at an image file in Finder, or otherwise outside LR, how does one easily and quickly go to that image in LR, in the Library module? sort of a "find in LR" command?
I was looking around for Applescripts or Automator workflows, but only find ones that import, not find. There's an automator "find in iPhoto" step, but interestingly the Aperture one is deprecated. I thought I might have been able to modify it.
GraphicConverter has a very nice "service," "GraphicConverter: Open in Browser" that does exactly what I want. But I couldn't find one for LR (and it's kinda hard to search successfully online for "services" related to LR, and I didn't find any services).
Ideas?

I have written the Lr (plugin) side, and created the capability to use Windows "Send to..." context menu to send a list of folders/files to Lightroom for selection.
Here is the content of the god-aweful command file which does it in Windows, 'Lightroom File Selector.bat':
@echo off
for %%x in (%*) do (
    call :concat %%x
start "%~n0" "lightroom://com.robcole.FileListener/Select/%pstr%"
exit
:concat
set a=%1
set lc=%a:~-1%
if "%lc%%lc%"=="""" (
    set pstr=%pstr%[%a:~1,-1%];
) else (
    set pstr=%pstr%[%a%];
Note: what it's doing is wrapping/separating all the folder/filenames received as arguments to the bat file, then appending them to the base url, for example:
If you select folder "C:\MyFolder' and file 'C:\MyFiles\myfile.jpg' in Windows Explorer, then invoke the 'Send to' context menu item (or drag and drop directly on bat file), it will send the URL:
lightroom://com.robcole.FileListener/Select/[C:\MyFolder];[C:\MyFiles\myfile.jpg];
to whichever app is registered to handle it, i.e. Lightroom, which parses the plugin ID, and passes it to the plugin, which then parses the paths and then does the same thing as the "Choose Files Via OS & Select In Lightroom" script.
Although I haven't got the Mac end, the goal would be the same - somehow translate the target folder/file paths from the format they're in to the requisite URL format and submit to OS, which submits to Lr, which submits to plugin.
You can download the plugin here:
http://robcole.com/Rob/_common/DownloadEasy/Download.cfm?dir=FileListenerLrPlugin&file=rc_ FileListener_(lrplugin)_1.0.zip
There is no web page nor documentation for it, yet.

Droplet to send images to Image Processor from Mac Finder?

Is there a way to create droplet that will just send whatever images you drop on it to the Photoshop Image Processor script?
Basically the same thing that happens when you select images from Bridge and select Image Processor from the Tools > Photoshop menu.
I'd just like a way to do that via drag and drop from the Finder.
Thanks.

No, Bridge can communicate with Photoshop to send a list of the selected files, this can not be done with a droplet

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

A Good samaritan answered this for me on another forum

Sony bridge for mac RESTORE phone not working after exchange xperia from Sony

Hi everyone,I have been sent an exchange unit from Sony to replace my previous xperia zThis phone has an older imei number than mine and wont allow me to restore using the Sony Bridge for Mac softwareIs this because of the different imei number???i have lots of notes, messages stored in a previous backup using the Sony bridge for mac softwareWhich i need to retrieve onto the "second hand Marked and scratched exchange unit" which Sony have sent me DOES anyone have a sollution to this please Thanks in advance... Steve

Hi Echo_steve Unfortunately, as I expected, you're not able to restore to another phone. However, there is one possible solution, but there is no guarantee it will work and it might mess things upp so you'll have to do it on your own risk. I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Here's how to work around the restore block. Again, use this with caution as there's no guarantee it will work. Also make sure Bridge isn't running when you attempt this:- Do a backup of the new phone
- goto ~/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/
- Go to the "Backups" folder and find the backup sets
- Try to locate the old backup folder and rename it to the name of the new backup.This can be quite tricky, as the folders are named things like "CB5A1JYXNQ". But basically, if the backup set of the old phone is named "ABCDEF01" and the backup set of the new phone is "ABCDEF02", it should be enough to remove (or rename) the new backup set and rename the old one to "ABCDEF02".
Again, I'm sorry there's no easy fix. Please let me know if it works for you. Best Regards, David

Where do the photos imported from my xperia to my macbook using bridge for mac software get stored?

Using bridge for mac software, I tried to import photos from my xperia to my macbook. It was shown that the import was successful. But I cant find the imported pictures in my iPhotos folder or anywhere else. Why is it so?

Sounds really strange. What if you try to import the photos once again?

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

Bridge for Mac without cover arts from iTunes

Hello,
I just upraded to Sony Bridge for Mac 3.9 (3903) and since then no cover art from iTunes albums is displayed any more.
Previous Version of the Bridge had already some difficulties with Cover Art, mainly regarding TIFF-images. But now
nothing at all is displayed.
Of course I have restarted the application as well as the Mac itself - no change of the behaviour occured.
Do I still have any options to try?
with best regards
Matthias
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
I have mostly MP3-Files in my iTunes library (90%). Even purchased songs are converted to MP3 because of the higher compression, even with 160 kbit/s and VBR. But I think regarding coverart the graphics format is more important. Here native Apple cover art seems to be generally TIFF, which sometimes makes problems with Bridge for Mac, esp. larger images. If I convert those large TIFF-images to JPEG, the problems disappear most of the times.
And "Yes", I sent a bug report to SONY directly.
Thank you very much - Matthias

Why are files viewed in Bridge a lot brighter than Mac Finder window?

Why do my camera raw files appear a lot brighter when viewed in Adobe Bridge than when viewed in the Mac Finder Window? Like a lot brighter. I'm not really sure which is the 'correct' brightness. Thanks!

No one?
Bridge shows the raw files according to the settings you have applied in ACR or if you have not applied any it shows the default ACR settings. The finder uses the embedded jpeg preview to show the contents of the raw file.
Without a screenshot it is hard to judge your situation but also check your Camera Raw settings (under Adobe Bridge menu see camera raw prefs) and in the default image settings be sure to have the option 'apply auto tone adjustments' unchecked.

Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it shows up in the new Mac's computer folder. It seems that Mac-mini Tiger is as it should be and the firewire cable is OK. Something about the Migration Assistant is being missed, but I have no idea what it is.

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?
