Stars don't show up in Bridge

Hi,
I'm a new Bridge CS4 user. When I do edit my pictures on my Epson P5000 by putting stars on chosen pixs, I don't see those stars appearing on Bridge. Is there a trick to resolve that? Those stars appears in Expression Media (ex-Iview Mediapro)... So technically, It should work.
Thanks for your many answers!
Albin.

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.

  • Changes to PSDs in LR4 don't show up in bridge or photoshop.

    I just downloaded ACR 6.7, now tiff adjustments  in LR4 (PV2012) show up in bridge and photoshop when I save the metadata to file in LR4, PSD adjustments in LR4 don't show up. I'm running CS5.

    Peggy, your post fixed this problem for me.
    My guess would be that the Pages folder in the Mobile Documents folder on your Mac is corrupt. That does seem to happen more with the Pages folder than the other folders in there. The Mobile Documents folder is on the first level of your user library. The user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Move the com~apple~Pages folder to your desktop & restart Pages. A new com~apple~Pages folder should be created with copies of the files from iCloud. If it doesn't repopulate, you can open the copies in the folder you moved to the desktop & again move them to iCloud by clicking on the document title.
    Saving the files locally to your hard drive & then moving them to iCloud seems to have less problems with corruption of this folder.

  • RAW Thumbnails don't show in Bridge

    I am very new to using Photoshop and Bridge (complete novice); I just took my first Photoshop class this weekend. Have never used either program before the class.
    Thumbnails of my .NEF files (Nikon Camera RAW) are not showing up in Bridge. The files are there, there's just no image---it's just a generic icon. JPEG files are fine. They display as thumbnails in the "thumbnail view" just like they're supposed to. Also, the camera Metadata doesn't seem to be working either. It's like bridge isn't recognizing the .NEF files. the I've loaded the appropriate plug-ins into Photoshop which made it so I could open the .NEF files in that program (at first I couldn't). I found a plug-in folder in the Bridge Application Folder and copied the same plug-ins but it's not making it work. I also tried adding the files in Bridge by creating a new batch and also by clicking a dragging. What can I do to fix this? I want to be able to see the thumbnail image.
    I'm using CS2 (9.0) on a Macbook Pro with OSX (tiger) and 1 gig RAM.

    Since I have to go, I suspect that it is not Photoshop, but Windows 7, whose dialog boxes Photoshop uses.
    You can set up Windows to display raw thumbnails using the Microsoft Codec Pack which you get here:
    How do I view RAW pictures in Windows 7? - Microsoft Windows Help
    Then Photoshop should be able to display them as thumbnails.

  • Custom XMP panels don't show in Bridge CS4's Metadata palette

    I've got a CS4 custom XMP panel working (using the "Generic" panel in the SDK) but I can't get it to display in the metadata palette of Bridge CS4 (the thing normally bottom right in the default Bridge "essentials" view).
    In the old CS3 format, you could do this by adding an "fbname" attribute to fields of the custom panel. How do we now do this in the new SDK?
    The Bridge metadata palette is mentioned on page 25 of the SDK programmer's guide, but the example given is merely of Dublin Core keywords (i.e. dc:subject) so shows in the Bridge metadata palette by default already.

    Following on from this question, is it possible to build up a Metadata panel group of fields drawn from different namespaces? (by group I mean something like the IPTC Core label and arrow which expands into the IPTC fields).
    One would have a heading such as "My data", which when expanded shows x fields from one namespace #1 and y fields from namespace #2. I've tried to do this by leaving the namespace blank and hardcoding it and the prefix into the properties' name argument - eg http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/photoshop:Urgency
    Hope this isn't a hijack!

  • .BridgeSort Files No Longer Showing Up In Bridge

    Hello, my <.BridgeSort> bridgesort files are no longer showing up in bridge? I also get an error "Bridge encountered an error and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation." I have tried this and it did not fix the problem. Any ideas??
    Thanks!

    Sam:
    Would one of those files you delete be "Library6.iPhoto" located in the top layer of the iPhoto Library folder? That's the dB file that links all of the original files to the thumbnails to the albums, slideshows, etc. That's probably the most critical of any of the library files.
    If you did delete it then a new one gets created and the library will essentially have no photos in it even though the originals files are still present.
    If you feel that's the case then you will need do start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
    1 - move the old iPhoto Library folder to the desktop.
    2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to create a new library.
    3 - with the new library open drag the Originals folder from the old library on the Desktop into the open library window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as in the old one. However, many of the rolls will have different dates which can be edited in the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane
    To help prevent this same problem in the future read the tip at the end of my signature and Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
    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.

  • LR adjustments not showing up in Bridge CS2

    When working with .DNG files in LR, it seems that Develop settings show up in Bridge CS3 (beta), but only some show up in Bridge CS2; the same is true for metadata, but only sometimes -- keywords tend to show up, Location, City, etc. don't. Using the "Export XMP Metadata to File" doesn't seem to make a difference.
    For example: if I adjust the contrast, then export xmp, I can see the difference in Bridge CS3, but not CS2. But if I change the white balance, the change shows up in both versions of Bridge.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Brilliant, Geoff! I had downloaded ACR 3.7 for the DNG converter, but apparently hadn't installed it for Bridge/Photoshop CS2, which were still using 3.6. I used "updates" in the Help menu, and 3.7 was installed automatically. All of the LR adjustments now show up in Bridge CS2.
    Thanks!

  • ACR adjustments not showing up in Bridge

    I've done some searching but have not found an answer to my ?  So hope it isn't a repeat.  I'm on a iMac with 16 gig of RAM and updated graphics card running the latest version of Lion.
    After downloading the beta of CS6/ACR7 I have noticed that if I'm working on a photo in ACR and click "done" (not save image), the ACR adjustments don't always show up in Bridge.  Sometimes it might show the adjustments and other times it doesn't.  Doesn't seem to matter if the raw file is NEF or DNG.  It is very hit and miss.
    I did an update on CS5 before I downloaded the beta of CS6 and I've noticed that it does the same thing.  Went to my lap top with none of the latest updates and all adjustments in ACR show up in Bridge.  I compared ACR and Bridge Preferences and all was the same between the machines.  (Lap top is a MacBook Pro 15").
    Anyone have any idea what needs to be changed so all adjustments in ACR show up in Bridge?  If the adjustments in ACR are all I need to do, it is frustrating to have to do a "save image" and make a duplicate just to get the adjustments to show up.  I can use LR and have it work this way, but I prefer ACR.
    Thanks,
    Sue

    Thank you Ann!!!!!  That was the problem.  I sure appreciate your help.

  • My contacts don't show up when people call

    I reset the settings on my iPhone 4s and now my contact names don't show up when people call. It only shows the number, but they are still listed in the contact list. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Which phone do you have ?
    This happens when there are multiple entries with the same phone no.
    Also if the same contacts are stored on SIM and in Phone memory also and you have selected to show contacts from both these destinations..
    In contacts-->Options-->settings.. contacts to display.. select preferably the Phone memory only.. Also save the contacts to Phone memory to get better functionality of the phone book.. There are many limitations of storing contacts on SIM.. Periodically take back-up on PC to avoid unforeseen problems with your device..

  • Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

    I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
    The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
    The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

    This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

  • Iphone and ipad don't show up in left column of new iTunes

    I recently installed the new iTunes version.
    I don't understand how to "manually manage music and videos". How do I copy a file of music or an ap from iTunes to the iPhone or iPad? They don't show up now in the left hand column that lists the playlists. I don't see how to drag something to the device.
    Both the iPad and the iPhone appear in the upper right corner of the iTunes screen. I can click there and see the summary of memory use and options on the device. I can also see both of them as disk drives in "my computer." I can drag photos from the folder that shows up there onto my computer.

    They don't show up in the left sidebar or you don't see the left sidebar? Press Ctrl+S
    Where you say you can see the device click the device name to open the settings page
    Hope that helps
