Saving changes made in Bridge

I am a new user. I've edited & cropped photos and the changes are visible in Bridge. But when I save them elsewhere, the image reverts back to it's original form. Any advice is appreciated.

I assume you are talking about editing in ACR. If so the edits are written to an XMP sidecar file. Other programs may not be able to read this files and piece the two together.
It is advised to move or rename these files outside of Bridge as the XMP file may get seperated. If you use a DNG files format I understand all the info is written to the image so there is no XMP file.
Does this fit with what you are seeing?
Two points about Curty's answer,
1. The changes are not always written to a sidecar file. I mention this in case people go looking for it where it doesn't exist!
2. I believe he meant to type, "It is advised not to remove or rename these files outside Bridge". Slightly different!

BUG? Keywords (and other changes) made in bridge don't show up in lightroom

When I put keywords to images in Bridge _after_ editing them in lightroom, they never show up in lightroom.
And seems like color labels doesn't change if I try to do it in Bridge. Bridge shows new color label, lightroom shows old one.
and no, image is not open in lightroom when giving keywords in bridge.

I do not have that problem, but I am sympathetic to how much you dislike the LR keywording system. You would think Adobe would adopt a single system for all their related apps?
The best way i found to deal with it is to have both apps write to the xmp suidecars(for RAW)and to make sure there is a copy of ACR 3.7 8bi in the file format folders of all Adobe apps that I interchange files to and from. Presumably, by the time Bridge 2 and PS CS3 are out of Beta, all three apps will be on the same page using ACR 4.
My setup does work without a hitch--but I do not like the LR keywording at all. Like many attributes of LR, it is simplistic and largely designed for the new or casual user (and those that shoot or process the same category of images day in and day out (weddings, etc), rather than for someone with an existing, large DB and established workflow--and hundreds of diverse subject images a day to do!
I do all my keywording, renaming, and initial sorting and culling in Bridge CS3, and it goes at least two to three times faster than using LR for those workflow functions, and that is not due to inexperience with LR, but rather to far better workflow design for those functions in Bridge- tabbed, rather than a slider, driven interface for "developing" in bridge is also part of that better design.
I am using LR for its Develop module only--all the other modules fall far short of what I need and presently use--especially the Library--and doing that simply because Bridge 2 has a terrible memory leak and numerous beta bugs and interfaces more poorly with beta PSCS3 than LR (and that is not to say that LR does a sterling job at at all) for the moment
Maybe Adobe can get the Bridge and LR teams together over lunch and politely (but firmly)tell them to get the best of the common features from each into both.

IDVD 06 not saving changes?

Greetings. I teach an adult ed class in iLife. Unfortunately, the lab has old single 533 G4s. When we use iDVD 06, the program is not saving changes made in the different drop zones, etc. We place elements in drops zones, tell the program to save, quit and relaunch...nothing saved.
This problem was repeated by a student on his G5 at home.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

"Rendering: settings changed" after saving changes from Bridge

I have LR 2.6 on my Mac. I import RAW images through LR, let LR build 1:1 previews. Once the import has finished & previews are built, LR moves from image to image fine. I then do my basic edits, deletions, and do a batch renumber.
Next I go to Bridge to make my adjustments in the RAW window without opening the files. I go back to LR, save the changes, allowing the Bridge changes to overwrite the LR development import presets in the xmp files.
It usually takes LR a while to save all the changes, but eventually it does it. However, here is my issue. No matter how much time I give LR to render new previews, I don't think it does, at least not until I go to Library mode double click an image to view larger (to fit the window). When I go from image to image, it takes a few seconds while displaying the message "Rendering: settings changed..." Now, this is not necessarily right after I save the changes, but it still happens weeks later- whenever I go to view those images. Does LR not automatically re-render the previews after development changes have been made and saved to LR?
And if not, how would I force LR to do it for that catalog, or for all my images?
Thanks,
R

A fair question- one, when I have tried, LR is way slower on my Mac G5 than doing it in Bridge, which is slow itself. I just launched LR, had an open folder with 303 images in it which I had already rendered previews of, then clicked on Develop module- it took 13 seconds to go to that module & finish "loading". Yes, a new commuter would solve many problems <g>, but until then....
What you may need is more RAM. Or do you have other applications working in the background 13 seconds to build a preview!!!!! Using a old Macbook with 1.2 GB RAM an it does it faster than that!LR doesn't require a lot of power from a machine...it does need as much RAM as you can stick in a machine and the fastest disks you can use...but if it is taking 13 seconds to build a single preview then it isn't really worth using IMO
Why not make all you RAW adjustments in Lightroom Develop module. The raw processing engine is the same as ACR and you can choose "auto save changes to xmp" in the preferences.
Ah, bingo. That works, abet slowly (see above). Okay, I will just have to remember to manually do that once I save changes to LR from xmp data. I guess I thought LR would be smart enugh to do that itself, but I guess not. And again, I find it faster to go back & forths, even with an extra step.
LR can be set to automatically write any changes to xmp, it doesn't have to be done manually (set this in preferences) you just have the choice. It won't read changes made in other applications automatically as this would be a very bad idea..it would after all over write the LR database. So if you do want to over write the LR database you must activly choose to do so.

I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

Lightroom is not acknowledging changes made and saved in Photoshop Elements 11

I purchased Photoshop Elements 11 and Lightroom 4 to use together. I am a novice and new to photography and these softwares. However, I used both together in trial versions and did not have this problem.
When I start in Lightroom with an image, then take it to Photoshop to do some work with liquify, save it, return to Lightroom... Lightroom is not acknowledging the new changes made in Photoshop. When I ran the trial versions, they did. How do I get that feature to work again, is there a setting I'm missing?

Actually it started working and I'm not sure why or if I did anything different. I did't do save as, no. I kow I would have to go upload it again. I ended up just shutting down both programs entirely, fired them back up and it's working fine now. I probably should have done that and/or rebooted my machine before writing in the question . Thanks though!

Saving Changes to your Photographs in Lightroom 3 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

In this episode, Julieanne Kost will explain how changes made to photographs are saved automatically to the Lightroom Catalog. Then Julieanne will demonstrate how to use both the “Save Metadata to Files” command as well as the “Automatically write changes to XMP” Catalog Setting to push changes made to photographs from the catalog into individual files (or sidecar files) so that they can be read and utilized within additional applications such as Adobe Bridge.
http://adobe.ly/x0ry8V

This is great; I was just discussing the other day about what data gets saved with what file formats and how it actually gets saved. My only confusion now is in the example given: If you're a Lightroom user (as I am) why would you ever use Bridge? Is there anything Bridge does that LR doesn't?

When updating my jpeg file with metadata from Lightroom, does this in any way degrade the image in the jpeg file. I understood that any changes to a jpeg will result in loss of image data and a corresponding degradation of the image.

How to Track the changes made to the custom table field value

I want to track the changes made to the custom table field value in table maintenance generator.please help me it is very urgent
Thanks & Regards,
Kranti

Hi Satya,
These are the steps you've to do.
1. Enable the change document flag in the data element level for the fields of the tables you want to monitor.
2. Go to transaction SCDO. Create a new change object, and add your table to this object. After generation, you'll get a function module.
3. Call this function module in the table maintainence generator screen, after the data is saved to the database table. This function module automaticallly writes the changes, with the old and new values, and the fields that were changed to the tables CDHDR and CDPOS.
4. You can keep track of the changes made to the table by monitoring these tables.

Close and save dialog when no changes made

Hi,
Mac OS 10.8.2 / CS5.0 / file stored on networked share
Why amd I getting a save changes dialog when all I have done is open and then close an InDesign document?
Any ideas appreciated.
/timothy

If you change the zoom of the document then you'll be asked about saving changes.
I think also that if auto saves have been made that will also trigger the question.
Does it happen if you open and then close within a few seconds, without changing the zoom or anything at all?

DNG changes made in LR4 not visible in LR3

I am working on a MacBook Pro with both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 installed. I wanted to test my assumption DNG is a DNG and that changes made to a DNG in LR4 would be visible in LR3, so I made changes to a DNG in Lightroom 4, clicked Update DNG Preview and Metadata and then exported that file as a DNG. I imported that DNG into a different Lightroom 3 catalog and the changes were not visible, even after choosing Read Metadata from File. Those same DNG changes were not visible in Bridge either. The changes are visible in the Finder, but not in Preview. Anyone know why and how I can make Lightroom 3 recognize the DNG changes made in LR4?

Your DNG is original-image-data + an adjustment recipe stored as metadata that tells LR how to display and export the image. Your DNG does not contain adjusted image data like a TIF or JPG would.
Your adjustments are probably in Process Version 2012, new to LR4, and only understood by LR4 and ACR 6.7/ACR 7.x and newer. The embedded JPG preview in the DNG is what LR4 put there.
There is a difference between a DNG being understood as a valid raw file by older Adobe products which it can, and those older products knowing how to interpret the adjustment recipe, which they can’t.
Specifically, LR3 doesn’t know how to interpret PV2012 adjustments, since it was last updated in 2011 and only knows about PV2010 and earlier.
Other non-Adobe programs, like Finder, can only see the embedded JPG preview which is the LR4 rendering, but LR3 re-renders the image using its own interpretation of the settings it can understand.

Problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6

Hi there,
I am having some problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6 in windows.
1. In Bridge CS3 (Windows XP), most of the time with most of the files, there is no problem. But I found that in some files, the Label does not get changed. I usually change Label by right clicking on the picture, then Label and select any Label. When I do so in those files, nothing happens. But when I rename the file by changing or adding just a single character, then it works. And if I again rename to original name, it still works. But without renaming the Label does not change. Again this does not happen with all pictures, but occationally with some. We usually receive pictures from different clients for editing purpose.
2. In Bridge CS6 (Windows 7), if you create lot of Path using Pen tool in Photoshop for the purpose of removing background, you save the file, close, and change Label in Bridge, again open the file in Photoshop, you see no Path in the Path Pallette. So that means, changing Label works, but it removes the Path from the file. But if there is small amount of path, then no prboblem. But if there is lot of path, like you need to create for a necklace to remove background, then the problem arises.
I am using Bridge for a purpose where it is very helpful so I really need to use Bridge, and Labeling feature is the most important to me, but after feaguring out this problem, I am really tensed as to whether or not I will find a solution to this. So any help, guidance will really be appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance for any solution.
Best regards

I have re-checked the issue and I found that the problem is with JPG file.
I wasn't even aware you could save a path to a jpeg file (always use PSD because of wanting to keep the Alpha Channel, jpeg only can contain 1 layer and no alpha channels and/or transparency).
However I tried it on a file with a simple path and one with a complex path. It seems indeed you have found a bug. The simple path is no problem but the more complex path is indeed disappearing.
It is not only label but also rate or adding IPTC in the description field. The moment metadata is saved to this jpeg file and reopened the earlier present work path of a more complex path is gone.
Despite the fact that to my opinion a jpeg is not the most suitable file format for saving a work path this should not happen. If a work path is saved to a jpeg then it should be kept saved after just altering metadata in Bridge.
It still is the same behavior in Bridge CC because that is what I use. Don't know when it started but it still needs to be repaired

How to know the changes made to Quotations & Sales orders?

Hi all
I want to know how we can have the records of changes and alterations that are made in quotations and Sales orders. For example, once the quotation is created and saved, there must have been many alterations either on pricing or in terms & conditions based on the final negotiations with the customer. Please let me know how do we record the changes.

Hi,
what ashish told is exactly correct.You just go to the Environment-changes and execute,it will shows all the changes made for that order like pricing,payment terms etc.

Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode

Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode
I have installed Xcelsius 2008 (RTM) and also Service Pack 1 / Fix Pack 1.1. Unfortunately, I can now not preview changes I made in design mode (but can see the change in design mode). In addition, if I save the changes made to the Excel spreadsheet (using this as the datasource) and then exit out of the application, then go back in, the changes have not been saved?!
I have also installed Fix Pack 1.3, but the same issues occurs.
This is causing us issues as we have developed a number of dashboards that can no longer be updated.
Please could someone advise?
Many thanks,
Neil.

I would recommend decomposing large sets into more manageable sets. For instance, if you have data for a very large regional district, decompose the data into smaller sets for sub-districts.
As for a paper, I'm not sure, but the main determinant of performance is how many cells you bind to the component. For a typical component on a typical computer, I'd recommend no more than 9000 cells. On a weaker computer less, on a stronger computer more.

Camera Raw not seeing changes made by DPP

I am not sure whether this is a procedure problem or capability.
When I edit a (canon 50D) CR2 file in Canon DPP ver 3.6.1.0 and save it as a CR2 file, then open the same CR2 file in camera raw ver 5.5 it does not see any changes made by DPP it opens up the file as an original. All changes made by DPP are gone.
So my question is, is there a way for camera raw to see and use the changes made by DPP.

Thanks Gabor
You have confirmed my suspicion, I am aware that any changes made by DPP or most other software to raw files is only recording changes and not actually applying the changes until it is converted and saved to another format. Was hoping that ACR would be able to read the changes.
The reason I wanted this is I find that DPP does a better job removing noise from high ISO images then ACR, but I prefer the rest of the editing features of ACR, so what I hoped to do was to use DPP to remove noise and finish editing in ACR.
Was just a though, thanks for the help.
Boris
