The Bridge

i find one of the most difficult things to accomplish is the bridge. that dynamic change that really brings a journey to a song. with me, i think my songs are lacking in that area. does anyone have any ideas on ways to create bridges or cool changes that that can really make the song jump. or just any neat ideas for changes alone? thanks for your input

Don't tell me...you must write r&b or hip hop
right??
Used to be every song had a bridge...technology and
loops got rid of that....
I disagree. Technology and loops are just things/tools. People are still the ones making music and making decisions about the structure of their songs. Hip hop, R&B, dance, these styles haven't dispensed with the bridge; instead, they've transformed it into something that still performs the same function but often has a different energy. Unlike the traditional pop song's bridge where the arrangement is heightened or thickened, or a modulation occurs, in dance music, for one, the "bridge" is often created by doing exactly the opposite -- the breakdown. This is a device that goes back to the early days of funk, so it's not exactly like it's something new, but of course the sounds and attitude are.
Song structures change with the times. If you listen to popular songs of the early 20th century you immediately notice that the presentation of the 'verse' is nothing like it is today. A typical song form consisted of a preamble-like verse followed by a chorus, followed by an instrumental, or a repeat of the chorus, or perhaps a bridge. The chorus remained the focus, but it was presented with a wholly different setup. Everyone's probably heard the novelty song, "Yes, We Have No Bananas". But the preamble/verse that precedes the otherwise well-known chorus of this song is little-known. This is typical of the style of the time.
So song structures change over time. So does the technology used to create music. But ultimately it's people who shape the music, even if they use somewhat advanced technology to create it.

Asking the Bridge Team: Bridge "working color space" setting when one does not have the Suite?

Common sense tells me there is really no such thing as a
"working color space" in Bridge, because
Bridge is not an image editor, just a browser
Therefore, this may turn out to be a purely academic question; but that doesn't keep my curiosity from forcing me to ask it anyway. ;)
Is there a way to set the Bridge
"color settings" when one does not have the suite?
The only Adobe program I keep up to date is Photoshop, so I've never had the suite. My version of Photoshop is 11 (CS4) and I run updated
(not upgraded) versions of Adobe Acrobat 7.x, Illustrator 10.x and InDesign 2.x. Consequently, the Synchronize color settings command is not available to me.
It seems to me that Bridge is behaving like a proper color-managed browser (e.g. Firefox with color management enabled), in that it displays tagged image files correctly and assumes sRGB for untagged image files. This normally works fine.
But what if I wanted Bridge to assume my
Photoshop color working space for untagged images
so that it behaves the same as Photoshop? I'm just curious, as I deal with a minuscule, practically negligible amount of untagged files.
My reason for bringing it up now is that I don't recall this being explicitly mentioned in forum replies when users inquire about color settings in Bridge. A recent post regarding Version Cue in the Photoshop Macintosh forum got me thinking about this. Just wanting to make sure that I'm right in my assumption that
there is really no such thing as a
"working color space" in Bridge, because Bridge is not an image editor, just a browser.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramón,
Thanks for sharing the outcome of your tests. However, I may have found a bug/exception to Bridge's colour management policy!
It appears that CMYK EPS photoshop files are not colour managed in Adobe Bridge, even if they contain an embedded ICC profile.
I've tried every combination in the EPS 'Save As' dialogue box, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with file encoding. Also, Bridge doesn't rely on the low-res preview that is held within the EPS itself.
My guess is that Bridge is previewing the CMYK EPS with a Bridge-generated RGB image, but it's being displayed as monitor RGB (assigned) rather than colour managed (converted to monitor RGB). For most users the difference will be barely perceptible, but the problem became very noticeable when using Bridge to preview Newsprint CMYK images on a wide-gamut monitor (images that should have appeared muted really leapt off the screen!).
How do I report this to the Colour Police at Adobe?!?

I've been working with AI for some time time now & would love to have a light weight viewer to open the files. The bridge is fine when we're working but just being able to toggle through folders is impossible otherwse

I was thinking of keeping things a bit easier in the way of clicking & dragging artwork into Illustrator. The bridge is fine when we're in the print shop & working but still has problems with some of the file extensions with the vectors. A lightweight no frills viewer that would open anything that Illustrator would open, so we could just burn through our regular file folders without opening AI or the bridge would be a great deal. Add the PS extensions too & we could dance by the firelight. Just offer it to those with the software & the valid codes for their software. I mean if there would be a problem with folks just grabbing it up. Love to have it though.

A thumbnail preview file icon option would be nice. CorelDRAW has had this capability for its past few versions. It does make it a whole lot easier conducting searches in Windows File Explorer. You can find the right files pretty quickly and then drag/drop them into CorelDRAW.

Problem closing an ActiveX created with the bridge and used in a scada.

Hi all,
I cretaed an ActiveX (using the bridge) to be used in a scada software. I inserted the activex in a panel and it opens and work properly when the panel is open. The problem is that when I close the panel, the scada doesnt free the memory. Is it supposed to do free it or is it my bussines? Should or can I do it by calling any method, function? Any suggestion?
Thanks!
Bobby

I guess that on exit scada does not release resources. Try the tool at

THE Bridge CC Extensions, so where is this folder to be found on a Windows 7 64?

Maybe I'm the ******* but each time lately it is something else, something new with CC, things are taken out put in another place, things are completely taken out, later added again by special downloads and you have to go and search for the right files to copy and paste files and so on and on and on.... I already lost several hours by each time researching the needed info, files,patches before I actually can do something!
Now I needed to make for school an assignment, a contact-sheet that we needed to export import Bridge-Photoshop to create a video-wall. In school we're on the CS6 where contactsheets and PDF, creating in Bridge no problem, now at home running on the CC i'm kinda fu...d, after some research i find following message,
for now I'm afraid you have to keep your Bridge CS6 on your computer and use it for generating contact sheets (on my Mac I have to close Bridge CC before I can use Bridge CS6).
- bad news: The Bridge CC online help says that in the current version the Adobe Output Module isn't available anymore and so it doesn't support generating contact sheets: "The functionality to create contact sheets, PDFs, and web galleries is available in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom, which are included in your Creative Cloud subscription." Generating contact sheets from within Photoshop is a mess. It's not as comfortable like in Bridge CS5/6, results are not predictable and the time it takes is not acceptable. Using a still fast Mac Pro with 2 x 3 GB quad cores took more than one and a half hour to create contact sheets out of o folder with 140 files – Bridge did that in minutes. Let's hope for Adobe developers working on Bridge CC to make things easy!
After doin some further research i find this:
Install the Adobe Output Module
When Bridge CC shipped, it didn't include the Adobe Output Module, which allows you to create PDF presentations and web galleries. Adobe Output Module is now available for Bridge CC.
Make sure that you have the most recent version of Bridge CC installed. To check for updates, choose Help > Updates in Bridge. Follow the instructions to install any updates.
Download the appropriate file below by right-clicking (Windows) or Ctrl+clicking (Mac OS) and choosing to save the file. Save the file in a location you can remember, such as your Desktop.
So far no problem, following the instructions hoping my problem was solved,
Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
What do you think? Of course everything to be found in my file paths except of course the file i needed, THE Bridge CC Extensions, so where is this folder to be found on a Windows 7 64?
Added to make things clear a print screen of C:drive path....
So any idea how to resolve this problem would be very much appreciated. Cheers

Hi Ronald,
Sorry for the kinda late reply, busy days these days, lol but indeed somewhere i went wrong in the path. Went in search for the one you gave, progs-COMMON-Adobe and indeed correct. Thanks for the reply as the helping hand, cheers.

When viewing a note in the bridge how do you switch to landscape full screen mode?

When viewing notes in the Bridge, there are two modes after pressing messages. One is portrait where the note being viewed shows in full screen after going to it from the inbox list. The other is in landscape where the inbox list is on the left and notes on the right. I want to zoom to a full screen landscape view of the note. I know that the device is capable of displaying a note this was as this is what you see when you touch the icon in the upper left corner to go directly to a new note or an urgent one, but I can't figure out how to get there from the normal note display.

There are two full screen modes in FCP X when running in MacOS X Lion.
Fullscreen playback:
     Enter using the double arrow on the viewer or with command-shift-F.
     Exit with the Escape key.
Fullscreen editing:
     Enter using the double arrow on the top right of FCP X's windows or control-shift-F.
     Exit using escape or control-shift-F.
This is how it works for me.

How do I get the Bridge to work on my 9300?

I have been trying since April 2011 to get the BlackBerry Bridge to work on my Curve 9300. I'm using OS 6. I've spent hours and days on the phone with bewildered but friendly phone support agents.
It's been working twice after a security wipe and both times it turned itself off once I pair any other bluetooth device to the phone includoing the BlackBerry Visor Mount. Removing the paired device from the phone does not allow the Bridge to work. It seems to konk out after any change to the phone.
Is it really a choice between hands free in the car and bridging to my Playbook?
I'm hoping for some new insight since it's been almost a year. I love my phone and tablet but if I can't get this to work by April I have to look at other phone/tablet combos and it sucks since I invested in RIM with hope.
Nothing is wrong with the Playbook. This is a phone issue.
"Failed to turn off MAP Services. Blackberry Bridge cannot start. Turn off unused Serial Port profiles under Bluetooth > Options and try again."
Yes I've turned them all off except Data Transfer, and have also tried it with them all off. It has no effect. I've uninstalled, battery-pulled, reinstalled, no effect. I've downloaded the bridge from rroyy.com and no change.
Anything new?

Push it all the way in.

I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years. When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but the problem remains. Looking for help. Dan

Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge. This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge. At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu. The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal. This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts. I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens. And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5. Thank you for your help. Dan

How do I open a raw image with the Photoshop raw plug in as opposed to the Bridge raw plug-in.

I read in a book on adobe raw that it is often useful to open an image at the same time with the adobe camera raw bridge plug in and the Photoshop camera raw plug in.
I can open a raw image in photoshop but I suspect I am not actually getting access to the camera raw plug in as none of the controls present in the bridge raw plug seem to be available from within Photoshop.
Of course I can access bridge and the bridge raw plug in by opening bridge from within Photoshop but this is not what I want to do. I would like to open the image using the photoshop raw plug in not the bridge plug in.
Clueless . . . and confused.

Thanks for the discussion. It is interesting. Let me clarify a bit regarding my issue.
I am using Mountain Lion OSX on a mac, of course, and CS6. I have been using Aperture, a piece of Apple Software similar to Light Room to organize my images, opening them from Aperture in Photoshop to edit them, as I am both familiar with Photoshop and like the way it does things better than Aperture. I recently started using CS6 and working with Adobe Camera raw 7, which I think is the version that comes with CS6. All the info I can get from the web site, including a very nice tutorial from Adobe on camera raw, simply tells me to open it from Bridge. When I do this, I get a nice set of sliders and other adjustments specifically associated with Adobe Camera Raw and the camera I am using.
I can open a file in Photoshop using the method SkillRooster suggests and, sure enough, it opens it with the camera raw plug-in (if I simply open the image by double clicking on it it opens in photoshop, no plug-in). If I then go to bridge and open it from there, I don't get a second instance of Camera raw, it simply points me at the instance opened through Photoshop.
However, when I open a raw image in Photoshop from Aperture (raw images open with no problem) I simply get the Photoshop interface, not the camera raw plug-in, the same as if I had double clicked on the image to open it from outside of Aperture. I am trying to figure out if there is some way to open an image from Aperture in Photoshop so that it opens in the camera raw plug-in. One possibility I could imagene is to open it in Photoshop and from there open it in the plug-in. The only thing I see regarding this in Photoshop is a menu item that lets me close the image and open Bridge, which doesn't help me with my Aperture issue. I could decide to switch to bridge, but with the thousands of images I now have in Aperture, this would be quite a bit of work. I may just have to work with both going forward.
The root of my original question comes from something I recently read in a book by Bruce Fraser on Camera Raw which is excellent, but it focues on CS 5.5 as he died before being able to update it. In that book he describes a trick he uses where he opens the raw image in a plug-in in Bridge and then opens it a second time using a plug-in in Photoshop. This give him a chance to compare adjustments between the two open images. As I mentioned above, when I try to do this by starting with Photoshop and then going to Bridge, it points me at the same instance. I can't open it in Bridge and then Photoshop since once it is open in Bridge, it won't let me into Photoshop without closing the image in Bridge. I was thinking there might be something in Fraser's method that would help me with my Aperture issue, but can't reproduce what he describes.
Perhaps this was possible in CS5.5 but no longer in CS6.
Another work around I can imagine is to do all my raw editing from Bridge and then save the file as a DNG file in Aperture. I suspect that after that, I am stuck with doing any more raw editing using the Aperture camera raw funcions, which are a bit lacking compared with Adobe Camera Raw.
Hope I am being clear here about my dilemma. Any help would be welcomed.

ACR and the Bridge thumb regeneration problem.

I just installed the 8.4 RC version of ACR to see if it fixed a bug that appeared back in version 7.2. It did not.
The bug appears in Bridge where Bridge randomly and repeatedly regenerates thumbnails. The bug is discussed in several threads on the Adobe Bridge forum. It is a difficult and mysterious bug because it appears to effect only a few people (maybe others don't notice). And those affected report different suspected causes.
Everyone in those threads assume the bug is within Bridge. But in my case, I believe the bug is caused by ACR.
In my version of the bug (Bridge CC on Win7) when I point Bridge at a folder of images, the progress wheel in the bottom left corner will spin and report "xxx thumbnail extractions" while xxx counts down. If I leave that folder and return later (with no changes made to the images) it will regenerate thumbnails and count down again. But not for the entire set of images, just some of them. By "return later" I mean 1 second later.
I've saved proir versions of the "Camera Raw.8bi" file. If I use version 7.1.0.354 of Camera Raw, regeneration of thumbnails ceases. Any version greater than 7.1 causes regeneration.
I have a theory, but ask for help or comment on the likelihood of my theory.
When Bridge scans the images in a folder and compares them to the existing thumbnails in the cache, that comparison has to involve dates. If the date of a thumbnail file is different than the date of the image file, Bridge needs to regenerate the thumbnail.
I don't know what dates Bridge is using to compare cached thumbs to images. I'd guess they are what we see as "Date File Modified".
I don't know where Bridge is getting those dates. Is Bridge getting the dates from the Operating System file management service? Has Bridge stored the thumbnail date in the cache index, and compares it to the image date? Because the regeneration comes and goes depending on the version of ACR, it would seem that Bridge is asking ACR for one of the dates.
All programs display dates in human readable form (Example: 7/15/2013 1:11:50PM). But dates are stored in some other form. I don't know what format is used, but it's probably some floating point format.
My theory is that the dates Bridge uses are in stored in different formats or different precisions of floating point. So, when Bridge compares two such dates they sometimes look unequal when in fact they are the same.
Different CPUs with different math chips might behave differently on critical floating point ops. This would explain why some users suffer the problem while others do not, even if they have the same version of OS.
My knowledge of floating point operations dates back to the IBM mainframes of the 70s. I have no idea how modern CPUs work. I'm hoping someone with current knowledge can comment on my theory. Also hoping the theory reaches Adobe techs, who currently appear to be stumped by this problem.

I found a folder of about 60 images, of which about 80% always repeated extractions, even if changing focus to another application for a couple of seconds.
If I batch-toggled Enable Lens Profile Corrections checkbox on every file in the folder, the repeat extractions stopped. If I toggled them back again, it started again.
This didn't surprise me too much, as the pre 7.3 bug, where repeat extractions occured when active Lens Profiles were combined with touching edge crops (fixed in 8.2), was also Lens Profile related.
Unfortunately, I couldn't isolate the combining factor which causes the repeats in combination with 80% of the files in that folder. Totally stumped.
As ssprengel suggests, it might be date/time-related. I did once notice some weirdness with file system timestamps in the Bridge cache folder. Maybe my 'bad' folder had files with a significant date/time.
Meanwhile, I now disable Lens Profile Corrections by default, which is the factory default setting. I only enable it on some shortlisted images. Repeat extractions a greatly reduced now. YMMV
