No longer able to open Illustrator files when in Review mode in Bridge.

No longer able to open Illustrator files when in Review mode in Bridge.
This used to work in CS5.
Control click the focused image (at front). Near the bottom of the contextual menu select 'Open' and nothing happens.
Anyone else having this problem?
Note: Files can be opened from the regular grid mode in the Content Panel.
Preference File Type Association is correct ai=Illustrator CS6

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Is it possible to add keywords on review mode?

I was wondering if it is possible to add a predefined keyword on selected photos in Review Mode in Bridge CC. This will definetely make my photo library quickly organized.

No, you can only use the rate and label option in review mode. Once you have rated or labeled the files you can easily select all of them in the content panel and then use the keyword panel to press on a predefined keyword from your keyword list ( or more if needed). They are all aplied to the selected files in one go.

Adding stars in Review mode Bridge CS4

Hi,
Although I can right click to add star rating in review mode, I can't do it using the space under the picture on the screen, it shows the 5 dots but you can't add stars by clicking on them.
Kinda makes the whole review mode pointless if you can't rate quickly as you work through the photos.
Any help?
Thanks

Another huge issue which more or less kills this albeit beautiful way of sorting through photos, it always starts at the beginning of the folder! How useless is that? When I come home from with 1000+ images I don't want to have to start from scratch every time I come back from pouring a drink. I often edit on the plane and not being able to immediately start where I left off is a feature killer for me. Hate, hate, hate.

CS5 Bridge - zoom in review mode

This is what I would like to do in Bridge: In review mode with 2 photos side by side be able to match zoom. Is there any way to do this or is the magnifiying loupe the only option? If the the loupe is the only option how can I request Adobe look into this? It sure would be handy if you could match zoom and pan around to compare two similar photos.

no, Im afraid this is not the case...
Ive seen it work perfectly on my home Dell laptop,
but my desktop at work has some issues I ve already described above.
This must be some picture rendering / memory issue... perhaps Windows 7
fault. I use Vista 64 on the laptop, everything works perfectly fine there.
I dont know, im really tired with trying to solve this out.
Pains though, since review mode is extremly efficient in fast image
sorting. Oh well.... guess I need to pass on this one, since Im clearly
the only one with the issue. Perhaps future system wipe will solve it,
when the maintance time will come. Its up to IT guys now I guess.
Curt, thank you very much for your tireless commitment to solve this one

Bridge selectively ignores JPGs in Review Mode

hello.
I have this issue :
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/6060/60232032.jpg
and after restarting the review mode:
http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1466/37671094.jpg
as you can see, Bridge selectively denies to render jpg images in review mode.
This happens in various catalogues, with photos made with different cameras, I really see no pattern here.
If I press Escape, return to main view and then again go into Review Mode, Bridge refreshes the missing photos and renders them correctly HOWEVER he then picks up a new set of images from the same folder, he chooses to ignore. The very same pictures he displayed normaly the first time.
any ideas?

Pressing 'O' in mini bridge review mode doesn't open file in Photoshop

New Photoshop user here and going through the basics.
When using Review Mode in mini bridge I can cycle through the images using left/right arrows and open the image in front in Camera Raw using the 'R' key, but pressing the 'O' key does not open the file in Photoshop as I understood it was supposed to. Am I missing something obvious? Pressing the 'O' key does nothing at all.
Using Photoshop CS6.
Thanks for any tips!
-Daniel

Gene,
Unfortunately this did not do the trick.
I've got the exact same issue on two systems, both Windows 7 based with fresh installs of CS6 and Lightroom 4.
Spent a good 45 minutes on the phone with Adobe support and they are scratching their heads as well. For now looks like using review mode in mini bridge would be a great way to open up files you want to work on, but in reality it doesn't work. The tech I've dealt with at Adobe is having the exact same issue as well.
Not quite ready for primetime...

Canon G15 - problem seeing correct Exposure Mode when browsing in Bridge CS4

I have PSE8 & Bridge CS4.
In Bridge Preferences I have ticked the box Exposure Mode under Camera Data(EXIF), but regardless of which Mode I actually shoot i.e Auto, P,Tv,Av etc, the indication in Bridge when browsing the photos always shows the Exposure Mode as Auto with the exception of when shooting in Manual Mode when it is shown correctly as Manual.
I would be grateful for any assistance in enabling the correct display of Exposure Mode when browsing in Bridge.
My Mac OS is 10.6.8.

Dear Curt,
yes, updated to latest versions (11.0.1).
I use the camera for uploading already 5 years (with all previous Canon camera's also) without any problem.
The files are not visible as a thumbnail in explorer because they are RAW format and windows does not support that format.
For that reason I check the files with Canon software first, and then they show correct.
If I check first with Canon software the files open correct without problems.
After that I open them with Photoshop and then a problem occurs.
So I am convinced that it is a software problem with the Adobe package.
I just hope that the original files are not corrupted.
I am afraid they are because after opening with the software from Adobe they also open corrupt with Cannon software (this means that Adobe does something with the file).
It is very strange to me.

Bridge CS4 image Previews are too small

In Bridge CS4 I cannot get the preview images to display anything larger than a large thumbnail view, see image below. I have tried all of the Preferences in Edit menu (e.g. Thumbnail: do not process files larger than set to 10,000 MB, cache options are keep 100% previews in cache checked/automatically export cache to folders when possible checked/cache size slider is set to 50%, software render has been checked/unchecked/generate monitor size previews checked). None of these options change anything for the size of the image preview. I have a DX10.1 ATI Radeon HD4890 XOC 1GB, so my video card is not the issue. I am running Windows 7 Ult x64 on ASUS P8P67 Deluxe with 16GB RAM and over 2 TB of HDD space. So my system should not be an issue either. These are Sample artwork images that were installed with Illustrator cs4. How do i increase the size of these images?
Also, these images are showing everything in the ai image, not the individual images in each ai file. How do i get it to show the individual images in each AI file like they were separate images, like Illustrator?

Actually, you just solved both of my problems with your question. I never thought about how the images were created/saved.
It turns out that for some reason when i re-save the images as version CS4 of course and all options selected in dialog box now the images act correctly and resize accordingly when the separator is moved and will get quite large as they should.
I also had to use my mouse and select each artboard/image inside the file then re-saved with same settings as above to get multiple images to show up with the buttons at bottom of image in preview mode. Now all is good.
These are the default installed sample artwork images. Not sure why they were like this, may have been some kind of format/process error. Thanks a lot Curt Y.

Elements 8.0 and Adobe Bridge CS4 problem

I have two problems that appeared in Elemens 8.0 and Adobe Brigde CS4 recently. I'm using the Mac version and a Macbook Pro (4 months old).
I don't really know where to address the problem, but I hope someone in this forum would be able to advice me.
Problem 1
When I browse a RAW-file in Bridge and click the photo to view a 100% zoom and then go back to a normal view, after a few seconds the photo turns alot darker. I've got alot of macro photos of flower and they really loose structure in this process and I would say they get damaged.
On the attached file the left photo is the photo I've viewed and closed and the right one is the original file. Does anyone have an explanation to this problem? I do like to review my files and do a 100% zoom before I choose the best one, but this is not possible in Bridge due to this problem.
Problem 2
After postprocessing my photos in Elements some of them cannot be viewed through Brigde anymore, they get sort of unclear and some show pixels. If I use Finder or other programmes to view the files they look perfectly allright. See examples below, the left one is a screendump from Bridge and the second one is the processed file.

I think this solved the problem, at least some of it.
I deleted the bridge plist file and also ran an update of Bridge CS4. I wasn't sure how to update ACR in bridge, so I didn't do that.
But when I start Bridge now, only some of the files changes color slightly in the thumbnails view. The zoom (loading 100%) also looks different, it zoomed to 800% earlier even though it said 100%, it sort of never ended.
Thank you Barbara, I'm ever so grateful. Now I know where to go if I have more problems

Can't open raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

First of all, I use a macbook pro that runs on Leopard. My camera is 5d Mark ii. I have photoshop elements 8 for mac, but I love to use Adobe Bridge CS4 for basic editing. Here is my problem, it won't let me open raw mode to edit. I have tried the updates photoshop gives on their site, but no luck. I still can't open them. Please help me!

If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

How do I make a PDF Slideshow from Bridge CS4 with 500 images?

Every year I go for an extended photo shooting trip. I use about 400 to 600 of the images to make a PDF slide show. This worked fine in all previous versions of Bridge, but no longer works properly in Bridge CS4. I can create PDF files with up to 329 images, but when I try to make a PDF file with more than that, the PDF file is corrupted. Sometimes, the PDF file opens, but about 10% of the image at random location are corrupted, and their thumbnails show up as white or black patches. At other times, the file does not open in Adobe Reader. I get a variety of error messages. The most common is #109.
Just to be certain it is not caused by my images, I used 550 images I had used to make a PDF show last year with Bridge CS3. I get the same problem. The slide show created last year with 550 images in Bridge CS3 still works in Adobe Reader, ruling out the Reader a being the cause of the problem. It appears that some bug has crept into the CS4 Bridge code.
Unfortunately, a while ago a deleted CS3 from my hard drives without making a copy of the downloaded dmg of CS3, so I can no longer re-install CS3. BTW, other than this bug, I am very happy with CS4. As a photographer, I find the improvements made in CS4 ACR stunning.
Is there a known work-around for this bug?
Is it likely to be fixed in an upcoming update?
Is there a way I can download a copy of CS3 allowing me to install CS3 Bridge, or, if needed, the whole CS3 suite?
(I still have a record of my CS3 registration code.)

I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

Bridge CS4 Search Not Displaying NEF Files + Keyword Problems

Hello, I am hoping someone can be of service to peculiar problem that apparently nobody else has had.
I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar
file.
Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF
file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw. I quit the program and the next time I started Bridge, it crashed upon using the loupe tool. I looked up help on Adobe's website and it appeared I had corrupted preferences. Per Adobe's instructions I option clicked at Bridge startup to delete the preferences and purge the cache.
Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of
photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
I then verified and repaired all disk permissions from the operating system installation CD and Bridge started returning results as
usual. However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
Now I'm noticing that all my search results are not including NEF files; just JPEG and the occasional DNG file that I made through Adobe Camera RAW. I'm not sure if this has been the case throughout my problem or if I just noticed it late.
Regarding not displaying NEF files in searches, it appears that it will default to displaying JPEG if it has the option because as of lately I have only been shooting RAW and some of those files are showing up in the still-wonky searches (still displaying random or no photos of keywords.) However, if I manually navigate to a file, I can open and edit NEF files with no problem, they just don't display in any search modes.
Here's two short videos of what happens when I navigate a folder with NEF files by manually searching:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y9HkDK7DCs
When I click on a NEF file, the one ahead of it in Content view processes into a more contrasty image and the loupe tool previews jump between 100% and 400% and then change to 100% when dragged or they just process themselves right then and there.

I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
Snow Leopard and Bridge CS4 do have some issues. Some have no problems and others have much problems I'm afraid.
I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar file.
To my knowledge the keywords are written into the XMP Metadata that is saved in the IPTC section of file itself, the XMP data in the sidecar file contain the changes you made in ACR. In other words, the keywords you have added should still be there.
Also see this Knowledge Base article about Keywords:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402660.html
Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%.
Changes metadata in prefs only affects the visability of the fields in the metadata panel. put or deselect a checkmark in front of an option will let you see or not see the field in this panel, the actual data and fields ar still in the file.
it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw.
You can change the magnification for the loupe to 100 / 200 / 400 and 800 % using the scrollwheel or with loupe active the + and - keys. Bridge shows the settings that you made in ACR. If you have changed the default Camera Raw setting it will also change the thumbs for this file. A thumbs needs some time to be cached. First it shows with a black border around, when first cached it shows the embedded preview and in the second round it renders the ACR settings and High Quality preview (if you have not disabled this setting). Caching needs some time.
Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
Maybe you need to let the indexing in find do its work again but it might also be a snow leopard issue. Try an other app (Digital Asset Management like Expresion Media or Portfolio) to check about the keywording and find. You can use a trial version for several days. You have several options to use find keywords. In the panel itself, in the filterpanel uner the keyword tab, when clicking on a visible keyword it only shows the files with that keyword or in the menu Edit / find (shortcut cmd + F) explore the options in this menu and also choose include non indexed and let Bridge start to index your files again.
However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
Don't know about that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y9HkDK7DCs

As you can see the black border around some file that disappear after a while or when you select them they have not been cached. You used purge cache so most of your earlier cached results are gone and need to rebuild.

Bridge CS4 - pdf scrambled previews on pages after page 1

I have a set of pdf files from InDesign that have multiple pages. On these files, the first page displays fine, but on subsequent pages the preview is scrambled and I detect some overall display glitchiness while Bridge is showing me a scrambled preview.
I understand Adobe's hooking into OpenGL hardware acceleration, so I checked preferences in Bridge CS4 for acceleration settings. I checked the "use software rendering" option in the Advanced settings, restarted Bridge and the problem disappears.
I'm running an ATI FireGL 3400 card with the latest driver on an XP Pro machine. Not all multiple page pdfs show the problem. The files with the scrambled previews are banner layouts and several letter size page layouts display multiple page previews normally. I'd be happy to provide Adobe support with a file (under 2MB) for testing. So far Photoshop appears to be happy with OpenGL acceleration enabled - except that I get messages that I don't have enough ram to run more than two image windows accelerated with my hardware.

I don't have CS4 but in CS3 I could get the same results as "use software rendering" as when I clicked on "restore down" (middle symbol in upper rt corner of windows screen) even though I enlarged the window to full screen.
In maximize window mode I had several problems with the preview without software rendering, and knew my video card was weak point. I know this is not the same issue but does not cost anything to try it. Don't know why it worked either.

Notes & Columns- Bridge CS4

Hello,
Just a quick question, I'm in the Essentials mode of Bridge; to the right of the main content window is the Preview pane atop the Metadata and Keywords. Metadata is active and File Properties expanded, I have notes ticked in the Metadata, File Properties preferences (beneath- Rating and above- Supports XMP), but no notes field is available in the Bridge, Metadata- File Properties pane. How do I get it active?
I take it that as a user I am able to enter notes in this field (please let me know if I have made an incorrect assumption), but if not where can I enter notes regarding an image and have them displayed when using Bridge? I understand the File Info pane does accommodate this with the Description field, but this is an inconvenience when one just wants to quickly add a few words to an image for future reference.
And while I have your attention...
One other point: When using the Close Column option (after right clicking on a column header while in MetaData (now the main active window)) I have found that when I, for example, traverse to Filmstrip, then return to Metadata the column has reappeared, is there a way to turn off redundant columns so that they do not reappear when navigating back to the Metadata window?
I am sure there are options covering both of my queries, but clearly I have been unsuccessful in locating them.
Thank you.

I think the notes have to be written with some other software other
than bridge cs4 and then you can see the notes in bridge, but not
modify the notes in bridge.
For example you can make notes with the photoshop elements
organizer (windows not mac) and they will show up in the notes field.
As far as i know, the elements editor (both mac and windows) does
not have a method of entering notes that show up in the notes field.
If your in the pse8 editor and want add some kind of notes, you would
have to use the file info dialog. In bridge cs4, you can add notes using
the IPTC Core in the metadata panel, usually just below the file properties.
As for the second question, in bridge>Edit>Preferences>Metadata, you
can choose which columns you want to appear by unchecking beside
the names.
They might know different over in the bridge forum
