Tiff Thumbnails in Bridge Overexposed

I'm currently using Bridge 2.1.1.9. Once I convert the RAW file into TIFF format the thumbnail preview looks overexposed. It doesn't look like anyone has resolved this issue so I wanted to bring it to the top again. My Raw files look close enough to the photoshop file in the thumbnail preview. Although I was also wondering if there is anyway to color manage so that Bridge's preview is identical to what the image looks like in PS?
I've tried purging, changing the thumbnails preview preferences and selecting software rendering on but there was no change in the preview.
I've been trying to resolve this for some time but no luck. The other photogapher I work with is having the same issue. We are working off of our company network if that helps...although it doesn't sound like there is a problem.
Thanks for any input.

I have selected the fastest thumbnails without success. I can just save the
image as a TIF and see the changes.
Choosing the prefer Embedded thumbnails is what it says, it shows the thumbnail that is embedded when you have created it. first with the camera, after that saving as a new file (e.g. tiff) creates a new embedded thumbnail that shows the changes if you saved the file that had changes to it.
As long as the thumb is surrounded by a thick black border it has not cached as preview with or without ACR settings.
If you have the Path bar in Bridge active (see if under the menu window there is a checkmark in front of 'path bar' you will see at the right side the little checker board icons most left of the row. The left checkerboard icon is for 'embedded thumbs only the right icon gives you the option HQ on demand and Always HQ.
If speed is really such an issue you could choose HQ on demand but to be honest, if you wait a little longer with the setting Always HQ and let Bridge do its caching first you gain more speed in the following process of searching and selecting files, because they already are HQ and don't need to build previews or reflect settings after you have changed those

CS3 bridge: Tiff thumbnails overexposed...Why?

I'm working on a PC and I just upgraded to CS3 from CS2. In Bridge, when I save my files from RAW to Tiff, the Tiff thumbnails are all overexposed. All the Raw thumbnails are properly exposed according to the settings in Camera Raw. When I first save the tiff file, the thumbnail has the correct exposure settings, but then instantly changes to an overexposed setting. This happens to all the Tiff thumbnails and also to the large preview image, but not to the RAW thumbnails or preview images. When I open the Tiff file, the settings are correct.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the thumbnail preview settings in "preferences". Can someone help me please? I'm sure it's something simple.
Thanks...

That option that you changed is not one for viewing JPEG and TIFF images in ACR, but for editing them in ACR. I have it checked on my system, and I have all my thumbnails. Problem is that Bridge seems to behave differently on different computers. It seems to me that there are more problems with the PC than the Mac. I have an older PC that is slow by today's standards so I just kind of limp along with Bridge. Yes, you can use other browsers. I have used Faststone, but although it is faster, all of the features are not there. I surely hope Adobe comes up with a better solution. There certainly won't be one in CS3, but maybe it will be one of the motivating factors to get people to move to CS4. It's doubtful (in my opinion) that we will see an improvement in this version.

TIFF Thumbnails Not Showing in Bridge CS4

Hi. I just reinstalled PS CS4 (after system crash). Now I can not see TIFF thumbnails in Bridge (neither RAW but I use LR). I unistalled once with ACR 5.5 upgrade and reinstalled again from scratch and the problem persists. Nevertheless I can see TIF thumnail from Windows Vista Explorer. I also tried to access the Bridge Cache location and seems to be unavailable, even after 2nd installation. I tried to Purge Cache but nothing works. Any help? Thanks

Hi curt y:
When you say you try to purge the cache and "nothing works" what does this mean?
The program does not seem to do anything
When I look at the Preference/Thumbnail THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THUMBNAILS. I detected this before but I don't
know how to assign a place not even a default place apears there.
If you go to tools/cache/purge cache for xx folder does this work? Your thumbs should blank out and rebuild.
Nothing happens!!
I know I have to solve the thumbnail location issue, the problem is I don't know how!!

TIFF thumbnails are a logo & won't open in ACR except from PS

Using Bridge 2.1.0.100, ACR 4.4, Photoshop CS3 10.0.1, Win XP Pro SP3
I have two problems with TIFF files;
1. They show as a logo instead of a thumbnail in Bridge unless I change their name (NOT the file extension, just any other part of the name)
2. They will not open in ACR from Bridge, but will if I "Open as..." in Photoshop.
Clearing the cache doesn't help, neither did uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge and Photoshop.
In Bridge Preferences>Thumbnails I have Prefer ACR for jpg and tiff checked. When I open a jpg file it opens in ACR (there is no right click option listing ACR)
What to do?
Thanks!

Displaying thumbnails in Bridge CS2

Hello, I've organized the photos from my Canon Digital Rebel XT in Adobe Bridge CS2 (Version 1.0.4.6) for years without a problem. I shoot in RAW and those files are approx. 7 MB in size. I recently received a Canon T3i and the files sizes are approx. 3 times as large and I'm having trouble getting Bridge to display a thumbnail. I can't imagine it's a file size issue since I routinely have .psd files that are 70 MB and larger that I have no trouble having Bridge display a thumbnail. The photos from both cameras are CR2. Is there a settings in Bridge I should adjust?
Any other ideas why I can't get the photos from the new camera to display as thumbnails in Bridge?
Thanks for your help :-)

The fact that they have the same extension is irrelevant. The files are fundamentally different.
The Canon T3i was supported for the first time in ACR 6.4 and later, which only run with CS5.
There is and there will be no version of ACR that will work with Bridge CS2 to open files from the T3i.
Your only option would be to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw CS2 files to raw DNGs that you can then open in CS2.
If you have an Intel Machine, you want version 6.6 of the Adobe DNG Converter. If your machine is older than the Intel Macs, e.g. any kind of Power Mac, then you need version 6.4 of the free Adobe DNG Converter, as later versions will not run on non-Intel machines.

InDesign thumbnails in Bridge CS4

I've noticed that some InDesign CS2 and CS4 files do not show thumbnails in Bridge CS4. I tried the Build and Export Cache function in the Tools menu and nothing changed. Any suggestions?
Also, I would be interested in a Bridge extension for harvesting thumbnails for old PageMaker 6.5 and 7 files.

Here is a link that has the same problem. No real jump in your face solultion, but hopefully it will help guide you.

Help! can't see CR2 thumbnails In Bridge

what can I try?
I cannot see the thumbnails in Bridge but can go into CS4 and open them up no problem
I shoot Canon 5d Mark II
I downloaded Camera Raw 5.3
works fine for my regular 5D but no on the new Mark II
any suggestions?
thanks!

Hi - Joan's husband here (I built the computer hardware for her, but don't
really know Photoshop that well). I did a search for "camera raw" files and
found a second instance located in the adobe/common files folder (not in
program file subfolders as the proper plugin is located per instructions).
It was the 5.0 version, and I could not do anything with it, eg delete it as
it "was in use by a program", even though I had no prgrams open. I was able
to rename it to "old camera raw 5-0", and I copied the new camera raw 5.4
version into that folder. I rebooted and now had 3 camera raw plugins
appearing in CS4/hlep/about/plugins drop down list.
I then went back into the common file folder and was able to delete the old
camera raw file. I now have two camera raw files appearing in the
help/aboutplugins dropdwon, but they are both the same 5.4 version. Now I am
able to see a selection to generate a high quality thumbnail for the cs2
files in Bridge when I right-clicked on those, and this generated the
thumbnails for all of those file types. All is well now (I hope !!), thanks
for your input and advice.
I did purge the cache, but that didn't change anything as far as I could
tell. Also, the 5.4 update doesn't show the Canon 5D Mark II on the list of
updated cameras for this revision, so I don't think it is a necessary update
for this specific camera, but probably good to stay current.
If this was an "end-run" around a proper fix then I would like to know the
proper way to resolve this.
Best Regards,

Why JPEG - TIFF files in Bridge won´t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014?

Since a couple of weeks ago, whenever I click a jpeg or tiff file in Bridge (last reinstalled in 17/08/14) it won’t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014, but in Windows photo viewer. Am I doing something wrong or is it Bridge’s fault?

Thank you for your help. I tried this, but, at least in Windows OS if I do it, every time I'm within any window, a JPEG or TIFF file will open directly in Photoshop, not Windows Viewer. I contacted Adobe support and they sugested me to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop and Bridge. It took me some time, but the problem was solved. I suspect that my issue began the moment I uninstalled Photoshop CC, which was active at the same time with Photoshop CC 2014. So, if you have both, try to live with them or uninstall both apps and reinstall only CC 2014.

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

RAW images from D300 appear as thumbnails in Bridge

I have CS3 and ACR 4.5 and Windows XP, for the past month all RAW files from D300 have loaded perfectly and opened fine. Yesterday, I loaded files and they appear only as thumbnails in Bridge. I am not able to rotate, or apply any adjustments to these thumbnails. If I double-click them, they open as RAW files in ACR, and I can proceed and work on them as I normally would.
Another strange thing: all of the other files I have loaded from my D300 now react the same way, even though they were perfectly fine before. Images from D2x are fine.
Should I try to uninstall/reinstall Bridge? Any other suggestions? There have been similar threads here, but not this specifically.
thanks
alan

I just experienced the same phenomenon. It actually started in the middle of a session working in the Bridge. Other then the thumbnail appearing there were a couple of other strange symptoms I noticed when this happened to me.
1. If first happened to some files, then got worse as I went back and forth between folders. However, it never effected all the raw files. Some stayed as normal.
2. It effected .ORF files and .DNG files equally.
3. For both files effected and those not effected it created a corresponding .XMP file in the folders
4. If used the DNG converter to convert the ORF files to DNG the resulting DNG files appeared as normal thumbnails.
In any event the reset suggested by Curt did work, and restored everything back to normal.

Still no Thumbnails in Bridge CC

No Thumbnails in Bridge CS5

I have no thumbnail previews Bridge CS5, just empty boxes.

I have installed cs5 extended.
bridge will not create thumbnails for my RAW images from the canon t2
1/550
the newest RAW plugin update is dated April 21, the RAW plugin which installs with CS5 is dated April 3 I believe??
I downloaded the April 21 RAW update and replaced the RAW file formats that came with CS5, with the latest as directed on the Adobe Website.
Now bridge will not create thumbnails for any RAW files from the Canon 40D on up
Photoshop will open all RAW files fine including all supported as of April 21, including all RAW formats supported with the RAW file format updates from April 21,
and the RAW converter works fine, and saves the T2i CR images in DNG format as well.
However nothing works in Bridge, and and cannot import using bridge and convert to DNG simultaneously.
Is there a fix for bridge and this problem?
Thanks

.NRW files not displaying thumbnails in Bridge

.NRW RAW files from Nikon P7800 do not display thumbnails or metadata in Bridge. PsCC, Bridge and CR 8.3 are all showing as up to date on CC Desktop App. Files display correctly in Lr 5.3. Any suggestions ?

I have:
PhotoshopCC>Edit>Preferences>CameraRaw>8.3.0.141
BridgeCC>Edit>CameraRawPreferences>8.2.0.94
The computer found 6 files named Camera Raw.8bi. They are in pairs , two in the CS5 folder and two in the CS6 folder, two in the CC folder. One of each pair has >Program Files(x86)> The other one has >Program Files>.
When I go to C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ only one (Camera Raw.8bi) file shows. This was created on 18 March 2013 and modified on 3 December 2013.
If I go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ another (Camera Raw.8bi) file appears, created and modified same date and time as the first one.
Is this making any sense ? Thanks for your help.
It appears Bridge is using CR 8.2, the question is why and how do I persuade it to preference CR 8.3
By the way, I failed to mention it previously CR is converting and editing the NRW files normally, I just can't see their thumbnails in Bridge.

Icon does not appear in the image thumbnail in Bridge

After processing a camera raw file using the Camera Raw plug-in, an icon does not appera in the image thumbnail in Bridge. Using raw plug-in created april 19 2007 in windows vista. The same CS2 program does create the icon on another computer using Windoes XP. Jim

Please check your top toolbar left side, you should see a small arrow icon to expend the toolbar, located near the Tools option
(Ignore the location side in the sample picture, it should be the opposite for your language )
If you cannot locate the HP Smart Web Printing there either, Click Tools > Manage Addons
and make sure the HP Smart Web Printing addon is enabled,
