Unable to view Raw Photos in Bridge CS4

I'm using CS4 and Canon 50D with Windows 7 64Bit. I cannot view the Raw photos in the Bridge viewer. They open in Photoshop OK but just not able to view in Bridge.
Thanks

Thanks for your suggestions - I made sure I had only one camera raw file and that the latest plu-in were installed. After reading the support sites I finally was able to get it working very simply - going to View and then Show Hidden Files; that worked!
Thanks Again

  • I can no longer view raw files in bridge - CS4

    I have already updated camera raw to view my CR2 files from my Canon 50 D.  All was working well, I have already edited over 1000 photos using bridge to browse.  I used it yesterday and it worked fine.  Shot some more photos, loaded them to my computer and then tried to browse in bridge.  Now bridge will not show me the photos, I get the raw icon only.  I reset preferences.....restarted my computer.....installed updates...... I have no idea why it suddenly stopped working....or how to fix it!  Has anyone had a similar problem?  I am using windows vista.

    These same files however do open with my photoshop elements 5 and I have updated the camera raw in this file also.
    I would guess that the RAW files were updated  into the wrong folder.  There can be only one ACR in the file, and it must be in correct location.  Re-read the download instructions to make sure you did it correctly.

  • Unable to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge since getting new camera

    Hi,
    I have just purchased a new camera, and am unable to see the RAW file thumbnails as I would normally, when using the Photo Uploader in Bridge.
    I have Elements 8, on a Mac.
    I have downloaded the latest version of ACR, 6.2, in order to recognize the new camer's RAW files.
    I can see the RAW image, but only if I open it via PSE8, and not when uploading to the Mac via Bridge. The only way I can see and process the RAW image is if I open the file via PSE8. If I look in Bridge, all I can see are lots of generic thumbnail images from PSE8.
    My question mainly is how do I resolve this, as I am used to being able to see all of my RAW files in Bridge, and like using Bridge.
    Do I need to update Bridge separately from ACR 6.2?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Barbara,
    are you saying that I will not be able to use Bridge with any RAW file taken with the Lumix LX5?
    If that is the case, what are m options? I would like to be able to see the thumbnails of the photos I have taken, in a Workspace setting, but at presnt, all I can do is see an individual photo by opening it via PSE8.
    This is now extremely cumbersome, and frankly a real pain.
    Would there be any advantage to purchasing PSE9?
    I would appreciate any help at all.

  • Suddenly unable to view RAW previews in bridge

    I was recently using bridge and received an error message of some variety saying something about purging the cache so I closed the message and purged the cache.  Now none of my thumbnails are working for any of my RAW files.  I am running PS CS4.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hmmm....I had 5.6 ACR installed but I can't tell if it's active.  When I try to do what you tell me above the logo for ACR plug in comes up in a box on the screen but then it disappears and nothing happens.  It's just a box that has the logo and version installed then it just takes me back to regular PS.  I did go back into bridge and I am unable to open any of my raw files in ACR, they just go straight to PS and the button on the toolbar is faded out and not letting me click on it.  This is making me think that it's a ACR issue.  I updated my software and my ACR 5.6 was updated with ACR 5.7 but I am still getting the same thing.  I run CS4 so I can't install the ACR 6.X.
    What else should I try?  Thanks again for your help.

  • Problems viewing RAW photos properly in Photoshop/Lightroom/ACR

    Hey folks. New here and looking to find some assistance with a  problem I'm having in Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2 and Adobe Camera Raw  5.7 when attemtping to view RAW photos straight from my Canon 450D. My  computer is a Mac PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.8 with a single 1.8Ghz  CPU and 3.5Gb of RAM. Photoshop CS4 is version 11.0.2. Lightroom is  version 2.7. Adobe Camera Raw is version 5.7.
    What I am  having problems with is viewing RAW photos from my camera in all of  these applications. No problems are encountered with any other file type  such as PNG or jpg.
    I have attached a screen capture of  what I am seeing when I open a .CR2 RAW image in Camera RAW before  opening in Photoshop. As you can see, the software seems to be having a  difficult time rendering the photo properly. I can view these files on  other computers using the Canon software that came with my camera. I get  this same problem if I view the image in Lightroom.
    As  far as I know, I can't upgrade to PS CS5 or LR 3 because I am still  running on the PPC architecture, so I need to find how to fix this  without having to buy a Mac Pro and the newest software.
    Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? If the screenshot is too small, I can provide the full-res version.

    I'm well-versed in forum ettiquette, thank you. I do, however, see no problem why posting about this problem once in each forum covering the software involved in my problem would be an issue. If I posted about the problem in only one forum, let's say in the Lightroom forum, and the problem was experience by another person who did not use Lightroom and would not be browsing the Lightroom forum for help, how would they have come across this post? Unless they also looked in the Photoshop forum, they might not have seen this post. So where's the harm in having it viewed by a greater number of individuals?
    With that aside, my problem is now resolved. After looking around a bit more on the forums here last night, I came across a thread started by a fellow who was experiencing the same issue as I, except he had newer versions of the software. Someone had replied to his post suggesting that it could have been faulty RAM modules and that they once experienced similar issues which were resovled by replacing the RAM. This was good news to me, since I had just purchased additional RAM for my Mac last week. It arrived today and I installed it and booted the Mac up. I purged any cache files used by these three software titles and then reattempted opening a RAW image in Photoshop. I took my latest RAW images from my camera, exported them to a USB thumb drive, and then from there exported them to my Mac. I tried to open on of the images in Photoshop and it opened successfully with ACR along with a complete and pristine preview of the image. Open the other RAW images in Lightroom, no problems.

  • Unable to see RAW thumbails in bridge

    I'm not seeing RAW tumbnails in bridge CS4, whereas I can see them on the desktop screen when I copy them there. If I browse to these files in bridge again I still can't see the thumbnails, and at the same time it is visible on desktop. I downloaded Pentax drivers, graphic card drivers and moved over files to other locations. Also the open in camera raw function is not lite up in Bridge. Files open by the way when I click on them in Camera Raw. Any suggestions? I'm running Windows Vista. Thanks.

    The camera software should not have any influence on how Bridge processes pictures.  One red light is moving files.  If you have edited the RAW files and them moved it, or renamed it,  outside of Bridge you could get the XMP file seperated from the image file (or different name).  If that happens it might cause you loose the thumbnail.  To check this you can look at the folder in Windows Explorer, but as they are hidden files the option to view hidden files must be checked.  While there also check to see if the thumbnals are OK.  If some do not show you may have a contaminated file casusing the problem.
    Once you check on this select tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder (use problem folder).  Let them rebuild and see if you get the thumbnails.

  • Unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer

    unable to view recent photos on my Mac in PSE 11 organizer ..I see them in Iphoto not organizer..Please help

    On import, iPhoto copies photos into its library, which is proprietary to itself and should never be poked and prodded from outside iphoto or you run a strong risk of corrupting the library and losing your photos. So you eventually need to choose between iphoto and organizer.
    If you want to use iphoto, then you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto to PSE, edit them, then save without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the pse preferences>saving files>on first save), and iphoto will remember your last edits and the orginal. However, you must to lose the edited version to use the original again, and this method doesn't work well with raw files.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, user File>Open in the editor,  edit the photos, make all the changes to name and format that you like, save the photos and import them back to iphoto as new files.
    Or if you decide you prefer organizer, set the this iphoto preference to No Application and you can call up the photo downloader from within organizer, or just drag the photo with the images in it from the card to wherever you want to keept them:
    and of course you don't need to user either iphoto or organizer unless you want.

  • Unable to view all photos in version 8.1.2. Can only see last 18 month.

    Unable to view ALL photos in V 8.1.2  Only able to view past 18 months.

    Wild guess:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • Newbie Question- unable to view certain photos in iPhoto 6

    First time Mac user..just got my MBP.
    I created folders and albums under iPhoto. I then copied .JPGs from my shared Windows drive directly into the albums. They get imported correctly because I can see all the pictures in the "gallery" view. However, when I click certain individual pictures, I get a outlined grey box with an exclamation in the middle. This happens with about half the photos. I can't seem to view them.
    However, when I go through Finder, I am able to double click on the same photos and view them using Preview. Full size.
    Anyone know why I am unable to view certain photos in iPhoto but am able to view everything in Preview?
    Any help is appreciated..
    Thanks!

  • Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?

    Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out? 
    Bridge 5.0.2.4. 

    There is an ignore EXIF setting Preferences. I can't remember if that is Bridge or Photoshop, but IIRC it is for DNG files.
    Right.  Check Photosho > Preferences > File handling and make sure 'Ignore EXIF tag, is not checked.  I think that might do it, so long as it refers to sidecare files, because only RAW files would have one.

  • Ipod view RAW photos?

    Hi there, everyone.
    Just wondering if the ipod and itunes is able to view RAW files? I shoot all RAW these days and I'd still love to take my photos with me on my ipod.
    Before I could do this with my jpeg photos, just by pointing my pictures folder.
    Now my RAW files are in my picture folder (all RAW now)....
    So, is it possible to view RAW photo files on my ipod-video?
    thank you.

    One other thing some cameras save two copies of an image, raw and jpeg, so you may already have jpegs to put on your ipod. But this depends on your camera.

  • Unable to import raw photos

    Support for your camera model was added with the release of Lightroom 5.3.
    What version are you currently running?

  • Unable to preview raw photo on adobe bridge cs6 taken from Canon 6d

    Hi!  Hope you all can help me with this problem.  Some raw photos taken by the same camera (canon 6d)  on the same memory card can be previewed on adobe bridge but other raw photos cannot.  The setting for all of the photos are the same.  The photos that I can't preview shows a gray screen with CR2 icon.  Jpeg images can be previewed. 
    Your help is appreciated!

    Did you use a card reader for the download? 
    Are all the 300 files relatively the same size?
    Did you ues Tools/cache/purge and rebuild the folder cache?
