Sorting by Stars in Bridge CS6

At some point, my previous version, CS4, stopped sorting based on stars or labels. While I could star or label, clicking on Sort didn't do anything -- it remained in the view where everything was shown.
Unfortunately, this has continued over into CS6 Beta and now the CS6 release. I thought I had a glitch in CS4 that would be fixed in CS6, but apparently some sort or setting was carried over from CS4.
The trouble is that I can't find what or where that setting is. Can someone please point me in the right direction to reset Bridge so that it will sort based on stars or labels?
Thanks
AC

Sound like you have changed your labeling system to make it unreadable.
Can you give more specifics? 
What OS?
Did you change the defalult defination of labels and stars?
In you filter panel do you see number of images for Labels and Stars?  Such as    ***      6.
If you click on entry for ***  (if you have stars) what does it do?

  • Bridge CS6 not starring properly anymore

    Running Mavericks 10.9.2
    Apple pushed out a camera raw update and ever since, Bridge CS6  has not been the same.
    If I open a set of rated .CR2 raws into BR the stars don't carry over unless I manually select and apply the stars in Camera Raw.
    And when I batch-save said files, the stars don't get applied to the JPEGs.
    Lastly, in some albums, previously starred RAW photos no longer have their stars. But the JPEG's do
    It's really weird.
    I've reset the workspace, but that didn't help.
    I have 2000 photos to process and I rely on those stars to sort the photos for publishing.
    Please advise.

    I'm on ACR 8.4...
    But that's when all the problems started, I tried to launch a set of photos I had starred and Bridge crashed... it's never been the same since.

  • What is wrong with Bridge CS6?

    I have recently been experiencing a rash of strange problems with Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.2.4). Basically, it seems to no longer be able to recognize metadata. The list of malfunctions include: No EXIF data displayed, can not launch ACR, can not rotate images, thumbnail metatdata does not display dimensions (a blank space where dimensions should be), full screen previews are small, Bridge does not recognize or display changes made to images in ACR, Star ratings dissappear or can not be sorted. I am finding some new problem daily. ACR and Photoshop are uneffected. Running on Mac OS X 10.9.2. Seems to have failed shortly after an update from Adobe.
    From my perspective it seems like an Adobe problem since the last thing to change on my system was an Adobe update. Everything was working fine after my most recent OS update. So, I do not immediately suspect Mavericks. Anyone else having these problems? Any ideas on a solution or troubleshooting? Already performed the "opt-click" on launch reset/purge, etc.

  • Bridge CS6 Previews of raw-files have bad (pixelated) quality after editing.

    I'm having problems with using Bridge for browsing my pictures. Preview quality of edited raw (nef) files is terrible. It looks like a very low quality jpeg. The untouched NEF's are fine, and saving the edited NEF as PSD also gives a perfect preview.
    Purging Cache doesn't work.
    I'm using:
    Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
    Adobe Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4 x64
    Camera Raw 7.3.0.71
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1  x64
    2x Monitor 1920 x 1200
    Photo's made with Nikon D800E (7360 x 4912 px)
    See screenshots of settings. Any Suggestions?

    What I find frustrating is:
    1. Raw previews look like crap compared to the file itself.
    2. Its possible to generate decent previews by a complicated purging-process.
    I can imagine you are frustrated.
    There are two differences on my set up so I can't check, first I use a Mac and you are on Windows and I use Canon and you Nikon.
    However it should not result in this much visible flaws in the preview.
    There can be a lot of cache files but Camera Raw Cache is something completely different then Bridge Cache.
    Camera Raw is a .dat file and contains some info from the raw settings and probably other stuff that I can't find, it states being a video file but you can't play them.
    Bridge cache are jpeg files that you can view, even without Bridge, for example they can be opened in PS itself without problems.
    If you have set to build all at 100% then it will generate jpeg files in the original size at a high quality jpeg setting.
    As said, I have a Mac but Yammer or Curt can provide you with the correct path to find the Bridge Cache folder yourself.
    On my System this is in the user Library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CS6 and inhere is a folder called cache. This folder contains 4 folders.
    - 256   : contains the thumbnails, very small files (in the range of 10 to 50 kb)
    - 1024 : contains the HQ previews, relatively large files (500 KB to 3 MB, depending on the files itself)
    - data  : a text file containing all sorts of info, don't know what exactly but is a text file that also can grow to several 100 MB
    - Full   : in here are the 100 % previews settled and they can grow to huge proportions ( around 10 MB for 18 MP files, depending on file size and content etc)
    If you have set to keep 100 % previews in Bridge prefs this last folder (full) will be taking a lot of space on your disk
    If you also have set to export cache to folder it creates same size (hidden) files with this cache in the folder itself.
    I never understood the need for export cache to folders for several reasons, first and most important, I had a longstanding bug preventing me from doing so (error message about overwriting a CacheT file) but also each version of Bridge has a different Cache format and you can't read older cache files. Also reading the cache file (especially when on DVD etc) takes a very long time. For purpose of needing to view archived files on external devices you better select the 'Prefer Embedded' option, works faster ten reading earlier exported cache.
    Not sure how you did purge the Bridge Cache but in your case I would Quit Bridge and find the equivalent Cache folder on Windows (Yammer, Curt?).
    manual delete this Cache folder with all its content and restart Bridge.
    This provides you with a new, fresh but very empty cache file. You need to recache the lot for the previews.
    If you are not sure just try it for experiment, move the old folder outside the library and try it. If it does not make any difference just Quit and replace the old file

  • Bridge CS6 workspaces suddenly greyed; content panel is only active item

    I am running CS6 and OS X 10.8.5. Everything was fine, and today suddenly Bridge has stopped working properly. Under the Window menu, workspaces are greyed. Under the View menu, As thumbnails, As details, As list are greyed/disabled.
    Bridge appears to be locked into the Light Box workspace, except that there is no preview panel. The only panel available is the Content panel; when I select one or more files, there is/are no previews.
    This is what the window looks like.
    So far, these are the things I have tried, to no avail:
    I have restarted the computer, restarted Bridge, I have purged the cache, disabled startup scripts.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    First try to delete the Bridge plist file from the user library.
    Quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX10.7, use menu Go with option to reveal).
    User (your user name) / library/ Preferences / inhere find and manual delete the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist".
    Again hold down option key while restart and again reset prefs.
    If this is not working I'm afraid you have to reinstall Bridge CS6. First be sure you have backed up your keyword list if you have one and also look in the aforementioned user library but now Application Support / Adobe/ Bridge CS6. Copy this folder and content to a back up place for security. Inhere all are sort of custom settings including your custom workspaces, so if needed you can copy some of these setting back to the same folders and location of your new install.
    Repeat this also for Photoshop (both same library / app support and preferences) for back up security of your custom settings because Bridge is part of PS install in CS6.
    Be sure to have your install disk or image file for PSCS6 at hand including the serial number. Use the official uninstaller and once you are doing so also try the Adobe Cleaner Tool :
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  (read the instructions carefully before acting).
    Run Apple disk utility to check and repair permissions and then reinstall PSCS6 that also installs Bridge CS6. Run the updaters and try again.
    And a final thought, before doing the above create a new user account for testing and see if this helps. Sometimes User Accounts get corrupted and Bridge is very sensitive for that. MacOsX recovery disk can help to recreate the problem user account.

  • Have you had problems with Bridge CS6 after CR 8.4 installed?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 running on Mac OS X 10.7.5 crashed several times while sorting images .  After installing Camera Raw 8.4, images in portrait orientation rotated to landscape and now the rotate image buttons and menuitems are unavailable for raw files including dng's.  Camera Raw preferences will not open from Bridge.  What is the best approach for uninstalling/reinstalling Bridge and CR updates?  Should I reinstall Photoshop as well?

    I do recommend that anyone who is having weird issues with iTunes try Dave's suggestion of UNINSTALLING Flip4Mac and see what happens (but will an uninstall get rid of this particular file? who knows).
    Good point, and something I should not have trusted without confirming. I just tried it and the uninstaller does not remove that framework. That's a serious "oops" on the part of Telestream (and I did confirm that the Flip4Mac installer does install that framework). The framework folder will need to be removed manually.
    Regards.

  • Unable to open Bridge CS6 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

    I have been using Bridge CS6 successfully until I installed Photoshop Elements 8 to use with a scanner I bought.  After the installation, when clicking on Bridge CS6 it opens Bridge CS5.   I had a look at some of the forums and tried Ctrl-clicking on Bridge CS6, but it still opens  Bridge CS5.  I have also re-installed Photoshop CS6 in the hope that this will fix it.  Any suggestions as how to get Bridge CS6 going again will be appreciated!

    Thanks for the replies.  I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/   I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop.  I restarted my computer.  Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened.  I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked.  Don't ask my why, but it did the job!

  • Setting Geo-location in Bridge CS6

    Is there a plug-in for Bridge CS6 that allows you to set the geo-location of an image or set of image using a map.  Google Maps for example?

    You might also have a look at this blog entry giving some ideas to allow this sort of feature:

  • Viewing Slideshow in Bridge CS6 causes Black Screen

    Not a question, just an observation that I don't know where else to report this.
    I was using Bridge CS6 to view a folder of 200+ photos in Slideshow mode (Ctrl + L).
    I was simply using the left and right arrow, occassionally the Spacebar, and marking about 25% of them as rejects by using the keyboard shortcut Alt + Delete.
    Suddenly the entire monitor went black. No text message (not the Black Screen of Death), just black. I tried several standard Windows keyboard shortcuts to try to get a different view (Windows + Tab, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, etc.), but nothing worked. I could tell that the monitor was still functioning correctly by simply bringing up its on-screen menues. The only thing that I could do was to turn off the power to the computer. After rebooting, Windows, Photoshop, and Bridge all seemed to operate correctly (but I haven't yet gone back to Slideshow view).
    I haven't had a program or Windows crash for months now, but I just installed Photoshop CS6 (not the extended version) late last week.
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    nVidia GTX-460 video card with newest drivers installed (296.10)

    I can't help with the black screen, but that sounds like a slightly risky way of cleaning out the rejects.  I prefer to give non keepers a single star (Ctrl 1) and bring them up with the filters, so I can look through them one last time. 
    Just a thought, but there is a tenuous link with slide shows and projectors.  I wonder if it went into external monitor only mode.  (Windows key p)   I have just tried it here, and was unable to make anything appear on my main screen.  You'd be working blind, but a possible solution (if it happened again) would be to go Windows key p  > right cursor key (once) > Enter.   That would put you back into main monitor only mode.

  • Bridge CS6 click to change ratings

    I just upgraded to Bridge CS6.  In previous versions I could change ratings by simply left-clicking the stars under the thumbnail in filmstrip mode.  I can't find how to do this in CS6.  I can use the keyboard shortcuts  to change ratings, but I'm kind of used to the left-click method.  Is there a setting I can change to get back to clicking?

    hmmm. i just checked it on my desktop and it actually works fine for me too.  i'll check it again from my work laptop tomorrow (where i noticed the problem) and report back. on my laptop, i did notice that instead of a row of stars like ***, in Slideshow mode, rated images were labelled 3*.  And under the thumbnails in unrated images, the 5 dots that usually appear were not visible.
    BTW - i don't know if it matters, but I'm running on a PC with Windows 7. 
    thanks Kurt!

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 stalls in Photoshop...

    I downloaded CS6 Design Standard from Adobe webpage and have tried several times to get mini bridge/bridge to run, but the message 'Waiting for Bridge CS6' runs for hours. I am using a 64-bit Dell desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium. I have tried option 4 on Error: Waiting for Bridge | Mini Bridge panel, but nothing changes on deleting the Switchboard from the registry. Some folks here have suggested looking up bridge.exe in the Task Manager, but my task manager doesn't even show it up.
    I would appreciate help, and soon.

    Well… that's your expectation.  Did you pay for the download? During the first 30 days you'd be entitled to your money back, but it's been a heck of a lot longer since Adobe demanded or accepted any mnoney for "CS6 Design Standard".  If you just recently acquired that obsolete suite, it was certainly not through a legal purchase from the Adobe store.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6, Camera Raw

    Hello,
    I need urgently help.
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro with Adobe Bridge CS6 since more than 1 year, using Camera Raw, v 8.6.0.254 without any problems.
    Last month I bought a Mac Book Air and installed Photoshop Elements 12, Adobe Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6. But I'm still missing the possibility to open my pictures in Camera Raw.
    After downloading the actual version 7.01 of Camera Raw from the website of Adobe.com and trying to install it I got the following error report:
    UPDATE FEHLGESCHLAGEN;
    Updates konnten nicht installiert werden. Dieser Path ist für Sie nicht geeignet.
    Name of the downloaded program is: AdobeCameraRaw-7.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.
    What shall I do to get Camera Raw running?
    Thanks so much for your help

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 on Retina Display

    I just installed Photoshop CS6 Extended on a Retina Macbook Pro and updated Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop with the latest updates. In Photoshop, everything looks crisp (including Camera Raw when opening it from Photoshop), but Bridge is still blurry. In addition, when opening Camera Raw from Bridge, everything is blurry. There are no updates available for Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw when I check for updates...any ideas on fixing this?
    Adobe Bridge CS6 - 5.0.2.4
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended 13.0.6 x64
    Adobe Camera Raw 8.3.0.141

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 display question

    I am a landscape photographer.  Many times I shoot multiple exposures of the same scene to combine them later in HDR.  These are generally 3 or 5 exposures taken at the same time.  It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR.  Does anybody know how to do that?  I could not see it in the View options in the menu bar of Bridge.  I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (5.0.1.21) on MAC OSX 10.6.8. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    It would be very useful to see each set of multiple exposures on a separate line in Adobe Bridge so I can quickly choose which set to use for processing in HDR
    You can't do so in Bridge when having different amounts of series. If you shot always 5 you could drag the content window to a new size in combination with changing the thumbnail size so 5 thumbs would show in a row. The same with 3 but there is no way to have a content window showing 1 line with 3 and 1 line with 5 files in the same panel.
    In filmstrip mode you have 1 single line but that does not meet you wishes also.
    There is the option to auto stack for HDR or Photomerge (Stacks / Auto stack Panorama-HDR) but frankly spoken this sucks because it either does not do the job properly or simply crashes Bridge to my experience.

  • Adobe Bridge (CS6) - bulk action - JPEG Options must be OKed for every image

    Hi all-
    I created an action script for a watermark in Photoshop CS6. Then, I ran my script as a bulk action in Adobe Bridge (CS6) against my JPEGs. However, the JPEG Options dialog/window appears for every image in PS. Is there a way to have this automatically OK (and at the highest quality) so that I don't have to sit and click OK over and over?
    I am on a Mac btw.
    Thanks!
