Sorting in Adobe Bridge

When I add a photo to a folder how do I get the thumbnails in Bridge to sort automatically? Right now I have to move them around manually. This becomes quite a chore when I add several pictures.

On the right hand side of toolbar there is a dropdown box with sort options.

How do I export my "manual sorting" of files to my new Adobe Bridge CC installation?

Hi all,
I'll try to explain my situation:
I have Adobe Bridge CC installed on my computer. I use the "manual sorting" to view and manage my files (mostly .eps/.psd).
I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting. How do I save/export my manual sorting in order to import it on a new Bridge installation?
Thank you all in advance,
Francesco

I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting.
Manual sorting is not meant for a permanent sort order nor is it designed to do so, when switching to a new window or other sort order you will loose the previous sort order. However there is a way to retrieve the last sort order used with a script Paul Riggott once wrote. But I'm not sure you can transport this sorting to a new system version because when you install a system from scratch you also need to recache the files for the Bridge Cache library. It might be possible to also copy the hidden file with the last sort order but that would mean a trial and error procedure.
Check this post, at the bottom is also a link for the site where you can get the script and how to install and use it:

Personal I would use batch rename to keep the sort order safe. You can select all files in the content window and add a sequence number in front (with enough digits to match your number of files) of your existing filename. In this way you can easily resort your collection when your manual sorting is lost for whatever reason and also the files will have the correct sort order on your system folder also.

Adobe Bridge "sort" tab crashing iMac computer

Using adobe bridge go to the view tab, then sort and sort by file type etc. This function does not work, instead my iMac crashes. Any suggestions as to corrections?

What bridge version and OS?

Sorting by date ala Adobe Bridge

Disclaimer: I am a complete Aperture n00b. Until now, I've used iPhoto to import my iPhone images and Adobe Bridge for everything else. In both iPhoto and Bridge, it's very obvious as to how to sort individual images by date. I am completely at a loss as to how to do this in Aperture. iPhoto imports and creates Events by date shot, but if Aperture can do this, I have no idea how to turn it on. It is importing all of the images in one batch, no matter when they're shot.
As a bit of background, I have been doing the "Picture a Day" thing this year, but I usually do all of my digital darkroom work once a month or so and then post them. As such, I need to easily see what dates the pictures were shot. I know I can set up a smart gallery and isolate images that way, but as best I can tell, it's time consuming to then go through individually by date.
An easy fix would for me to simply be able to turn on the date information in the file browser, but the only metadata I've been able to turn on is file name.
I know I must be missing something because this seems like a very basic thing to do.
Thanks in advance for any help you all can pass on!

Welcome to Aperture, From what you say i would make a folder for the year, sub folders for every month, and a project for every day. This is my exact set up and it keeps the library neat and easy to navigate, as well as being easy to find images without searches. I also keep the same structure on the HD. for the Referenced Images.
It is essential to split that one big import First of all.
To sort them by date: In Browser View go to the little Q at the top right and click. Now click Add New Rule, and click Calender on the drop down list. Click the little circle that has a minus sign in the middle to get rid of all the other search fields, you don't need just now.
Click a Date then select New Album with current images.
You can use command click, or **** click, to select multiples.
This is the important part: It is essential, that you do then split them in to Projects and don't leave them in a single Project. Projects are the the Containers for your Master Images, though they can be viewed in folders, It is only the Project that holds the master. You are best to keep them limited to about one thousand each. Keeping track of the Masters seems to cause a lot of problems for people here on the forum, but not if you Start off correct. To do this, keep the Album you just dropped in to a Project and do all your work from this. In this way you never have any duplicates in the project. You can work with gay abandon in the album and never get in to a mess that is difficult or impossible to reverse.

Adobe Bridge CS6 undefined in not an object Help Please

I am so sick and tired of getting this error message when I try to create a pdf contact sheet - undefined is not an object. Can someone help me?
What frustrates me the is there is no log file telling me what image has the problem which Bridge does not like.
This example is of brand new eps files that were created in the last month
I also have the same undefined object is not an object using AI files but none are shown in this example.
If there is no solution to tell me what eps or ai file(s) bridge does not like - is there a setting I can change so Bridge skips the file it does not like? Sorta silly skipping a file for a contact sheet but if that is a workaround to make it bridge work that would be a huge improvement versus the program not working at all, LOL...
1. I have tried using another program to rename all my files to be sequential numbers too, so that is taking more time and I am losing the ability to find my files by name and I still get the undefined is not an object.
2. I am to the point of using other programs to create jpeg images of AI and EPS files and then using bridge to make contact sheets and doing that takes a ton more time and is just silly to do so now I am to the point of asking for help.
3. Operating system is Wondows 7 - I use CS6 - Adobe Bridge for making contact sheets - screen shoot is attached - all CS6 items are up to date with updates.
4. Yes, I have searched the internet for help and searched adobe for help --- seems like no one has posted a solution.

I am having this same issue. I'm attempting to make a pdf in Bridge but am getting the error message "undefined is not an object." A log or a report of some kind would be very useful here to find out which object is the offender. Looking at my files they appear to be in order but obviously something is amiss....

Adobe Bridge CS3

Hello, All
I recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS3 for serious image manipulation and realized Bridge would (Should!) solve some frustrations with iPhoto's organization characteristics (such as its inability to sort named filmrolls alphabetically other than by drag and drop). But I still want to use iPhoto as the primary application to view, slightly modify, create slideshows and email images, because sometimes Photoshop is overkill.
Bridge allows, in Preferences, to specify the application to open images, and defaults to Adobe Photoshop CS3. After browsing and changing the application to iPhoto, and navigating to an original photo in iPhoto/Library/Originals/FolderName, and then double clicking the image in Bridge, it opens the iPhoto application but then fails to open the image. The error message displayed is "the following file could not be imported. The file is in the iPhoto library," and then the path to the file is also displayed.
Well, of course the file is in the iPhoto library because that's what my Mac defaults to import all photos with (or did in the past, and I might change that).
So, if you have beared with me this far, my question is -- does anybody know how to make Adobe Bridge 3 open images in iPhoto properly? Obviously, I'm missing something, and would appreciate your help. Thanks.

You can use Bridge to view the Originals folder of your iPhoto library but you can't do any editing, moving, renaming, etc. as that's the same as Tampering with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. A big NO-NO. But you can view them and their metadata.
Bridge is primarily a browser with metadata capabilities associated with an editor. And, as PhillyPhan pointed out, is exclusive from iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge

Wanted to post a note to what I've discovered/worked out -- a
way to
generate a very useful photos.xml from Adobe Bridge. If you
use Bridge,
it's very easy to add titles, keywords, ratings -- all kinds
of metadata
that one might use in a photo gallery. Here it is in case
anyone wants
to use.
The script is based on one I found at the Adobe User to User
Bridge
Scripting Forum for exporting a CSV file.
Note 1: this particular script doesn't take into account
CDATA that
might exist in your metadata, like ampersands in your title.
I've just
avoided using those, but you could also have the script write
out a
CDATA node for that info instead.
Note 2: this script does not write out a thumbpath,
thumbwidth or
thumbheight attribute. But usually the thumbpath is the exact
same as
the regular "path" attribute, and the thumbwidth and
thumbheight are
just a ratio of the regular "width" and "height" attributes.
I added a
bit of JS to the gallery.js file to calculate those before
growing the
thumbnail on rollover.
Personally I'm using keywords as categories and titles as
captions and
sorting by rating (stars in Bridge), so here's the .jsx file
I created.
The script should be saved to the folder "StartupScripts" in
Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe.
Hope this is useful for others too!

I updated the script so it exports an XML file from Bridge
with full
compatibility with the Spry Demo Photo Gallery, to use as
photos.xml.
It's at the same address:
http://www.imagicdigital.com/spry/bridge_export_xml.zip
To Use:
The script goes in the folder "StartupScripts" in Program
Files/Common
Files/Adobe.
Launch Bridge and browse to a folder that contains the files
you want in
your gallery -- the "source" folder, as it were.
Choose the menu command "Tools > Export XML for Spry
Gallery".
Type a name for your XML file in the Save dialog box, choose
a location,
and hit "Save".
In the dialog box that pops up, enter a max length/width for
your
thumbnails, in pixels. Some common sizes are "75" , "100" or
"125".
Hit "OK". You should see an alert pop up telling you "XML

IPhoto: Using Adobe Bridge

I am presently using both iPhoto and FCPX. I only use iPhoto store the photos and images I use in albums. If I need to modify them I take them into Photoshop and then save them backin iPhoto. However, I now have about 5,000 images and feel a need to be able to sort them further and do more global commands on them (such as resize). For this, I really miss using Adobe Bridge. Is there a way to use Adobe Bridge with iPhoto?

Thank you. I am beginning to think I need to investigate exactly what and how much iPhoto really does. I didn't know it was this powerful. I will go to the link you gave me.
I think I am feeling overwhelmed with so many images because I need to find a good way to organize them via keyword (which I know iPhoto does - I just don't know how to select by keyword "yet").
I did like the capability in Bridge of selecting a lot of photos together and resizing them to all the same size in one command (via Photoshop).
I really do need a powerful photo manager so I need to understand how much iPhoto can do for me. I see I also have a lot of duplicates now so my initial idea of sorting by photo album name was not a good idea. I need to use keywords instead.
If iPhoto doesn't allow me to resize a batch of photos in one command, for the few times I need to do it, I can always export them into a folder and then do it in Photoshop because I would want to retain the photo in its original size anyway.
Now to the link you gave me . . .

IPhoto with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and Adobe Bridge

I have not used iPhoto before now as I have been downloading photos from my Canon and Nikon cameras using their software. I have now moved everything into iPhoto but cannot find iPhoto using Adobe Bridge so I am unable to do any editing using Elements 4. Previously I could find the Canon and Nikon photos using Adobe Bridge. With a simple click on the relevant photo it opened up in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and I was able to edit it. Now using Bridge I simply cannot find iPhoto thus I cannot use PSE4. Can someone help before I go crazy ? I havde called Apple support but they have been unable to help me and suggested using Discussions@Apple

Many thanks for your quick response although, as a new iMac user, the mere mention of the word "corrupt" scares me ! I previously used a PC with Windows XP and PSE3 and loved being able to sort all my photos into albums with PSE3. Unfortunately the PSE4 which I have installed on my iMac doesn't let users sort their photos into albums and the only alternative is Adobe Bridge. I only recently started to use iPhoto after a visit to an Apple Store and it's great being able to catalog my photos so easily. Unfortunately PSE is far and away superior to any editing software that iPhoto has to offer. Anyway, I'll cross my fingers and try your suggestion first thing tomorrow morning.

Bridge Help | Work with metadata in Adobe Bridge

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/metadata-adobe-bridge.html

Might check this past post to see if you have ownership of your HD.
The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

Library Cache for Adobe Bridge CS4

I'm trying to clear up space on my harddrive for my macbook, and in my library folder, there is a cache folder which then has various adobe products. The Adobe Bridge CS4 folder has almost 20 GB of stuff in it. Can I get rid of this (safe to delete)? Why does it build up so much? Do I need to periodically manage this manually? Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The cache folder for Bridge can grow to huge proportions because it keeps
information for all earlier cached files. After quitting Bridge you can
delete this folder (user library/caches /Adobe/Bridge CS4/cache) by dragging
this to the trash and empty bin to make space on your HD.
Restarting Bridge creates a brand new cache folder in this place but this
one is empty. Therefore you will need to recache all files you want to show
at high quality in the preview window again because with deleting this data
the cache with all previews (including the HQ preview that are mainly
responsible for the huge size) from previous cached files will also be gone.
Personally I use this method on a regular base including restarting Bridge
holding down option key to refresh preferences, this gives a fresh start for
Bridge.
I mainly use Bridge for sorting, rating and adding metadata and once the DNG
files I want have been developed they are transferred to my archive and
don't need to be in the cache file anymore
So with keep in mind that you need to recache the current files you are
using (takes some time depending on amount and size of the files you can
safely delete the current huge cache file.
Can I get rid of this (safe to delete)? Why does it build up so much? Do I
need to periodically manage this manually?

That depends on what you mean. If you mean, if you have a previous version of PSE that came with bridge, can you use it with PSE 10, the answer is yes, sort of. You can send photos to PSE 10 with no problem, but you can't call up bridge from within PSE 10, and you won't be able to update the bridge version of the raw converter beyond when adobe cut off updates for CS4, or see thumbnails for photos from camera models newer than that, even ones you can open directly into the PSE 10 editor with no problems.

Adobe Bridge CS4 causes Blue Screen of Death! Help?

Can anyone help?
I keep getting a Blue Screen of Death every so often when I am using Adobe Bridge CS4 and another program, either Photoshop or Bryce or Cinema4D.
When I have been working in the other program for a while and attempt to return to Bridge, the instant I click on the bridge icon in the low taskbar, the PC blue screens and everything dies instantly with no time to read the blue screen or to take a photo of it, never mind do anything useful like save the file I was working on.
I have winXP Pro and an NVidia Ge Force 8800 GTS graphics card. (both are up to date)
I recently got the Adobe updates but there wasn't one for Bridge.
Buckets full of memory: 289GB free on the C drive and I store most (work) things on my F drive which is a terrabyte with 315 gigs free.
Um.... dunno what else to say.
Except: HELP!!!

Well, I don't find that the magnifying glass ability is all that much help to me as often what you see in that magnified area is too blurry to be of any use - my eyes aren't wonderful with small things (including small text - I therefore have the text on all the machines I use set to quite large, browser included) so I like large thumbnails too, and usually I find that the big thumbnails are sufficient for me to find what I want.
So that's not been the cause of my BSOD.
By the way what's "ralentize"? Is it like "pixilate"?
On the BSOD - it sounds to me that there can be more than one cause in Bridge of the BSOD, so it sounds as if Bridge CS4 - is just not stable, period.
The fact that Bridge in CS3 and CS2 worked just fine is a good indicator of this, (to me anyway) as most people seem to be saying so.
I wouldn't like to rely on NVidia's next update fixing this, as I've already updated NVidia once since this began and it didn't help, I now hear that there's now another update out for the NVidia Ge Force 8800 GTS (which is what I have in my PC), so I will be updating that when I get back, but as the last update didn't fix it, I doubt if this one will either, I think it's something that Adobe will have to sort out, but I doubt if they will.
So it looks like those of us with that graphics card are just left without being able to use Bridge properly - if at all.
I've given up on it on my PC and so I'm refusing to use it on my Laptop either, since it would be silly to get so used to it that I can't work without it.
I have tried using Irfanview, but it's functionalitly is comparably limited. So I'm looking out for something else.
I don't at the moment have PhotoshopCS4 on the laptop and as I left the box with the program in it in my room at Uni I can't install it on the laptop with its different Graphics card (although still an NVidia it's a Ge Force Go 6800, not the 8800 Gts), until I get back next week... not that I really want to, if it's just going to crash the laptop like it does the PC.
I do have Corel's Paintshop Pro Photo X2 on here, but I don't use it anything like as much as I do Photoshop, but at least the Bridge or Browser (they call it "Organiser") on that doesn't kill the entire computer, although it does take up room on the screen instead of opening as a whole new window.
Also PaintShopPro does not save an inferior version of the image when saving as BMP, which I've noticed does now happen with Photoshop CS4 (when comparing .psd or pspimage with bmp).
emirkill,
I will also try the "enable software rendering" when I get back, that you've used, in case that helps.

Adobe Bridge colour management problems

It appears that jpeg images, converted from Neffs, are not being displayed correctly in Bridge, V2.1.1.9. They display overexposed and open from Bridge into Photoshop CS3 overexposed (faithfully overexposed to Adobe Bridge's representation) and yet shift clicking, or opening in Photoshop CS3 directly from the file the images display correctly. I have tried purging the cache for one of the offending folders but this has not resolved the issue.
I have also Optioned clicked, on launch, and cleared all prefs - this rectifies the problem but once Adobe Bridge is relaunched the files initially preview correctly but then Bridge decides to amend (I can see this happening) and display overexposed thumbnails once again.
It appears that all Canon jpegs saved from RAW (.CR2) files are okay. All Nikon NEFF files display correctly, as do Tiffs saved from the NEFFS, the error appears to be restricted to jpeg images saved from NEF files.
I am using Leopard MacPro 2.8 quad - all Adobe and Apple software up to date, freshly installed and monitor calibrated - correct monitor profile being used, not hosed, as CS3 is good. I am not running the CS3 suite just Bridge, ACR and CS3.
I didn't suffer from this problem on my previous PowerMac G5 (it recently died hence new MacPro), with the same images, using Tiger, Adobe Bridge and CS3 - could this be one of Leopard's many teething problems?
I have some low res screen grabs to demonstrate the problem but I am not sure if, and how, I can upload them to this forum?

PROBLEM SOLVED, sort of any way.
I figured out my problem and it really has nothing to do with Bridge.
Basically my D300 along with other digital cameras is adding additional information into the RAW format that Bridge and other programs like Apeture and Lightroom ignore. Stuff like D-Lighting, Color settings and other information that can make the picture look a specific way is simply dropped at import when opening in bridge because those certain settings are specific to Nikons RAW NEF files. Canon does the same thing on their RAW files as well.
The reason people see the graphics change is because Bridge and other programs usually use the camera's JPG preview with all tweaks to first pull up the thumbnail image in Bridge. When the user clicks on a thumbnail to view the RAW file info or import it into Photoshop, Bridge interprets the RAW info as it can and opens the file. The extra information that helps the photos look a specific way are simply dropped because Bridge does not know how to apply that information.
So unfortunately for now, I guess I am stuck with Capture NX from Nikon if I really want to see the image as it was taken originally without having to do extra work inside of ACR. And before anyone says it, I know you can build profiles that will import the RAW files the same way every time, but so far I have not been able to tweak the settings where the images look exactly the same to this point. It also looks like Nikons software does a much better job of importing the RAWs with less color noise. Too bad their program is slow and completely crappy to use. Kinda sucks, but I guess that is the name of the game right now.
Laters,

Indesign Contact Sheet script for Adobe Bridge 1.0.4.6

Our company currently has all the Adobe CS2 products but as stand alone applications and not part of the Creative Suite. Therefore, we don't seem to have all the functionality of the suite.
In particular the script to create Contact Sheets from Indesign CS2 of items through the script in Adobe Bridge.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to add the functionality of the contact sheet script for Indesign to Bridge without having the Adobe Creative Suite? And Why?
We are looking for something to replace an extension used by Quark to create contact sheets from Badia software. I am loath to upgrade this extension unless absolutely necessary. We receave thousands of photo's a week and output contact sheets for our editors to pick and choose which photos they want/like.
Thanks in advance.
