Ungrouping while in PS Bridge

i have created a number of groups while in Bridge. later, i need to ungroup the photos. to do this, i right click on the group, and then "Stack>Ungroup from Stack" and all is well, ie., the pictures are no longer stacked/grouped. but then, if i go to another folder in the tree structure and then RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL FOLDER that contained the stacks, the photos are re-stacked, regrouped. once i have desolved the groups with the "Stack>Ungroup from Stack" command, i don't want Bridge to re-group them. how do i ungroup them in a way that when i either close bridge or go to another folder and then return, they stay permanently ungrouped? it seems thast Bridge remembers that the records were once in a group and always wants to regroup them when i return to the folder.

Solutions to common problems
The first thing that you should do if you have any problems whatsoever is to apply the latest Photoshop patch (currently 11.0.1) and update your video card drivers.
If Photoshop starts acting weird then you should also reset your preferences

Bridge cashe fail while in mini bridge mode.

bridge cashe fails when opeing and I purge it but the message returns each time while in mini bridge mode.Also it has stopped displaying thumbnails it mini bridge. Any ideas?? The full message is 'Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cashe. Please try purging the central cashe in cashe preferences th correct the situation." This doesnot correct the situation. I recently uninstalled my CS5.1. Might that be an issue. I reinstalled it to no avail. thanks, Uhane
More info
Bridge CS6 no longer can find the cashe to update at all and will not quit on it's own I have to force quit the app.. Nor does it update changes in mini bridge. It is static. It does not show any new changes to files since this AM. It seems to not be able to find the cashe to update.. I have purged the cashe many times since and the more I do it the worse it becomes and the more I get the message that I have to do so. I really don't want to have to reinstall yet again. Is there a corrupt file path somewhere? Or can it not get to an open port for some reason. This problem is a rather sudden one. thanks, Uhane.
Thhis is the message I receive when I open bridge siince this AM.

To summarize so there are not a lot of repeating motifs.
••I ran CS5 and had CS6 on my system and had no problem.
••I unistalled CS5 using the adobe unistaller.
••Bridge began to not be able to find the user cashe after that and crashed upon loading the folders lib.
••CS6 worked fine but I could not use the mini bridge nor the bridge proper.
••I unistalled CS6 and reinstalled it. Still had the same problem.
••Used the script cleaner mentioned earlier in thsi thread on CS6, there being no CS5 listed.
••And then, of course, reinstalled CS6 AGAin.
••Still the problem persisted.
••I went into the user lib and hand deleted everything I could find for CS5. and then I reistalled for the 4 th time CS6, using the adobe unistaller. And still the problem persists.
••went the adobe script cleaner log report console to see there were no errors nor fails and there were none reported and showed a clean unistall.
So that is the history so far.
and here again is the screen shot of the message In receive upon opening bridge CS6.
well .... the uploader is not greyed out at the moment.. see the screen shot in entry 6 of this thread, thanks
THanks to everyone for your help, the opt/launch/reset. trick worked with me only having to detete the specified cashe. thanks again, Aloha, Uhane

NEF (nikon RAW) files are becoming Desaturated while 'viewing in Bridge'/'opening in ACR'..HELP!

i use
1)Nikon D80
2)Adobe bridge to get the images from the camera
3)ACR to retouch the the photo a lil bit.
i set 'Saturation +2' and 'contrast +2' in My camera.
I get very nice vivid tone in my images IN MY CAMERA LCD
but recently my life is in jeopardy
i dont know why but my NEF files are not that nice when i open them up in bridge.
I wasn't sure where it went wrong.
So i shot RAW+JPEG so that i get the JPEG from the camera.
and My JPEGs are perfectly OK.
lets give you guys a look what i am talking about::
this came from the camera as JPEG
and this came from the SAME camera as RAW (i saved it without any modification from ACR)
WHY? AnD WHAT IS THE SOLUTION??
EXTRA INFO YOU MAY NEED ::
my JPEG says sRGB
and my NEFs says Untagged
and in my camera setting i used sRGB...which is 'MODE3A' in my D80
And now i have some important pictures in my camera
Very important.
Is there any way to save them?(except working in ACR)

First off, the only camera settings that have any direct impact on the raw files is ISO and F stop/shutter speed. All other camera adjustments to the image are merely metadata adjustments used by the camera or camera software to process the image. Camera Raw doesn't use any of those settings at all. So, if you are shooting raw intended for processing in Camera Raw, you would do well to not use camera adjustments to the images.
As far as matching the basic default camera LCD, that's a function of knowing how to use the DNG Profiles for either Camera Raw 4.6 or 5.5. There are specific profiles intended to render certain camera makers "looks". If you wish, you can either modify your camera's "Default" in Camera Raw or use Presets to apply settings in Camera Raw or Bridge.

Hi cyberwasp,
Does this happen only with Bridge CC or with other Adobe apps like Photoshop CC as well?
What version of Bridge CC do you use?
Do you use any Wacom or other brand tablet? If so, have you checked for an updated driver? Disconnect Wacom and use a mouse instead and check.
Disconnect all the external devices and then retry.
Install all the Bridge updates. Help > Updates
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers!

Bridge CS5 freezes after error message...."The operation could not be completed, there is not....

Error - The operation could not be completed. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
After this happens I have to close Bridge as it is unresponsive to any further commands and I often I have to use the task manager to close it.
I have scoured these boards and the web for a solution and have found others w/ the same problem (even people w/ much more RAM) but have not found a solution beyond the usual advice of changing cache settings, increasing page file, or making sure there is enough hard drive space.
I have two 1TB hdd's w/ over 80% free space on each but I only have 2 GB RAM (all my old motherboard can handle). However, this error message occurs even when Photoshop is not running (only Bridge) and my RAM usage meter shows that I still have plenty of unused RAM available. I did not have this problem w/ Bridge CS4. The error msg. of not enough storage doesn't make since considering the available RAM showing and ample space on the hard disk assigned to the cache (which is a different physical drive than my OS or the Bridge program.)
Here are some of the things I have tried:
reset Bridge preferences at startup, changed the location of the Bridge cache, its size and options, purged the cache, changed the page file size on both drives to the max, defragmented drives, disabled Norton anti-virus, etc.
-What else can I try?
-Would creating a new partition on my 2nd hdd to be used solely for the Bridge cache make any difference and if so, why?
Please help, I am willing to try anything to get this to work. It is a personal challenge at this point.... and I am determined to get Bridge CS5 to work on my machine......
Thanks in advance for any advice or insturctions you may offer!

JMS Bridge from WLS to OAS not working; automatic redirection to JMS Port

We have setup a JMS Bridge inbetween Weblogic Server 10.3.0 and Oracle App Server 10.1.3. In our test environment it is working fine. But, in LIVE, we are facing a problem. Firewall is there inbetween OAS and WLS.
1. OAS Admin port 6003, is blocked by firewall. So, from outside environment we can't connect to this port.
2. OAS Port 12401 (RMI Port) is not-blocked
3. OAS Port 12601 (JMS Port) is blocked by firewall
4. We created credential "JMS_USER" while configuring QueueConnFactory at OAS end and used it while setting up WLS JMS Bridge
We are using ormi://172.24.255.59:12401/default as Provider URL from Weblogic while creating JMS Bridge.
Problem
========
While connecting from WLS we are getting the following error from WLS end:
javax.jms.JMSException: Unable to create a connection to "apgst366/172.24.255.59:12,601" as user "JMS_USER".

     at com.evermind.server.jms.EvermindQueueConnection.<init>(EvermindQueueConnection.java:71)
Question
=========
1) We are requesting for 12401; then why the JMS Port 12601 is being referred?
2) Is there any automatic redirection from OAS end?
3) Will unblocking the 12601 port by Firewall help?
Please help me, as this has become a burning issue for us.
Thanks in advance.

Can anybody please help me?

Camera RAW / Bridge CC problem with Exposure in Mac OS X 10.9 Maverics

Recently I purchased MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9 Maverics and I have a problem as described below while working in Bridge CC:
If I open Canon RAW files (.CR2) in Photoshop by double-clicking the file (or File > Open With > Adobe Photoshop CC), Photoshop starts and a Camera RAW windows opens. If I set the Exposure value from -0.95 to 0.95 and choose Open Image or Done, a .XMP file is created, but the value of Exposure is NOT SAVED (Exposure value is still 0). If I set the Exposure to -1.00 (or less) or +1.00 (or more), it is SAVED.
On the other way if I open any RAW file just in Camera RAW (File > Open In Camera Raw) everything works fine: any changes of Exposure are saved in .XMP files.
Please note that I have all updates of Adobe and Apple software are installed.
Anyone can help?

Can't check with Mavericks because I'm still on 10.8.5, however I can't say I heard this behavior before.
Can you select a file that is changed with -0.95 but does not show the result and with right mouse click menu choose purge cache for selection, does that make a difference?
What version of Camera Raw are you using and What Canon are you using.

Photoshop/Bridge CS4 PDF Presentation Update or Plug-in

Full Parameter PDF Presentation is essential for me.
PDF Presentation (as in Photoshop - Bridge CS2 and CS3) with panels for selection of presentation prameters and saving with various levels of jpeg compression and image quality, presets and output color conversion, etc. . This was not only a very useful feature, but has become a required component of my workflow over the past three years. This to shoot all imaages in RAW, upload files to Bridge, develop a wide range of selected images with Camera RAW and then produce a PDF slide show of 20-25 'proofs' while still in Bridge with a size of 10-15MB that can be emailed to various recipients for review and final selection. Final selections are then fine truned in Photoshop for printing. While some of the improvements in CS4 are useful, CS3 at present is more satisfactory and remains more useful than the CS4 upgrade. Addition of this feature as an update or legacy plug-in (the basic componets exist in CS4) would be more than acceoptable and allow me to complete the upgrade to CS4. Your attention and help will be very much appreciaated!

APOLOGIES!!!
I just found it......
Using the Adobe Output Module script, you can create Adobe PDF contact sheets and presentations in Adobe Bridge. Contact sheets let you easily preview and catalog groups of images by displaying a series of thumbnails on a single page. PDF presentations let you use a variety of images to create a multipage document for slide show presentation. You can set options for image quality in the PDF, specify security settings, and set the document to open automatically in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat. You can also add the filename as a text overlay below each image in the PDF.
1. Select the files or the collection or folder that contains the images you want to include in the contact sheet or presentation.
2. Choose Window > Workspace > Output.
If the Output workspace is not listed, select Adobe Output Module in Startup Scripts preferences.
Adobe Bridge displays the Output panel at the right side of the window and the Folders panel at the left. The Content panel with your selected photos appears at the bottom of the window, and the Preview panel appears in the middle.
3. In the Output panel, select PDF.
4. Choose a layout option from the Template menu.
5. With your photos selected in the Content panel, click Refresh Preview to view the contact sheet in the Output Preview panel.
Note: The Output Preview panel displays only one PDF page.
6. Customize the appearance of the contact sheet by specifying options in the Document, Layout, Overlays, and Watermark areas of the Output panel.
7. (Optional) Change the images in the PDF by navigating to them in the Folders or Favorites panel, and then selecting them in the Content panel. You can also use the Preview panel to preview the images and refine your selection. Drag thumbnails in the Content panel to rearrange the order of the images on the page.
8. Click Refresh Preview at any time to update the PDF and see the changes in the Output Preview panel.
9. For presentations, specify the following options in the Playback panel:
Open In Full Screen Mode
Opens the PDF in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat.
Advance Every [x] Seconds
Specifies how long each image is displayed before the presentation advances to the next image. The default duration is 5 seconds.
Loop After Last Page
Specifies that the presentation automatically starts over after reaching the end. Deselect this option to stop the presentation after the final image is displayed.
Transition
Specifies the transition when moving from one image to the next. Choose a transition from the Transition menu. Depending on the transition, you can also specify a Direction and a Speed.
10. If youd like to automatically open the PDF in Acrobat after you save it, select View PDF After Save at the bottom of the Output panel. Otherwise, just click Save.
11. In the Save (Windows) or Save As (Mac OS) dialog box, enter a name for the PDF, select a destination for the saved file, and then click Save.

CC installed 3 versions of Photoshop. Which one should I use? How do I get bridge to point to this version?

I use Photoshop CC (64). I have all my action scripts and hot keys set up there and everything works fine. Until I try to use bridge to run a batch in Photoshop.
When I try to run a batch operation from bridge in Photoshop using an action I made in version Photoshop CC (64). Nothing happens. Photoshop doesn't open the batch screen and bridge acts like I never tried to run the batch (keep in mind, this happens while I have bridge and Photoshop CC (64) open.
If I shut down Photoshop and then try to run the Batch operation. Bridge opens a version of Photoshop I don't use, therefore it doesn't have any of my actions scripts that I want to use. (I'm guessing it is opening CC 2014. Is this better than CC (64)? Should I just go ahead and use it instead?
Keep in mind I'm using Bridge labeled Bridge CC (64bit) so in my mind it really should be looking at Photoshop CC (64).
I tried using bridge preferences to pick CC (64) for the file type but this didn't work/help.
I don't mind using CC 2014 but I think Bridge should have an option to pick which version of Photoshop to run the batch in. This saves me time having to save out my actions and load them up in another version of Photoshop.
Anyway. Please let me know which version is the latest/best. I have Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (64) and Photoshop CC 2014. It would be nice to be able to remove the ones I don't really need.

There are three Cloud versions of Photoshop: CS6 13.1.2, CC 14.2.1.570 and CC 2014 15.2.1. There are two two version of Adobe Bridge: CS6 5.0.2.4 and CC 6.1.0.116. Bridge CS6 works with Photoshop CS6, Bridge CC works with Photoshop CC 2014. There is no Bridge for Photoshop CC except Bridge CC with out the Bridge CC updates. The Photoshop Version are not fully compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. Subscription CS6 removed some Plug-ins support that in perpetual CS6 so some Plugin that work in perpetual CS6 don't work in Cloud CS6, Photoshop CC is quite compatible with Subscription CS6, CC 2014 had Flash Panel support removed so old extensions like mini bridge don't work in CC 2014. There are bugs in CC that are not in CS6 and there are bugs in CC 2014 that are not in CC.

Can't open Camera Raw in Bridge

One thing I noticed is that with CS5, when I choose Browse in Mini Bridge while in Photoshop, Bridge opens in the background. In CS6 when I browse in Mini Bridge, regular Bridge does not open, although I can open Bridge directly from Photoshop. The other strange thing is that I can open Camera Raw from mini Bridge, just not from regular Bridge. I get the same message as others get, that Bridge's parent application is not active and that I must launch a qualifying product at least once in order to open Camera Raw. I searched all the files I downloaded and installed for "trial" but nothing came up. Is there a certain file name or extension I should be looking for? Or is there some other way to solve the problem?
Thanks

It sounds like your on a PC (Windows). Windows only allows one version of Photoshop and one version of Bridge to run are ang given time. There are also Preferences in the Bridge Advance setting to start bridge at log on. When this option is check Bridge stays open in the background and may be hidden. So if Bridge CS5 is running and you start Photoshop CS6 Bridge CS6 will not be able to start. So make sure the check box to start Bridge is not checked in both Bridge CS5 and Bridge CS6

Reading Advanced Metadata in Smart Collections, not working in Bridge CS6

In Bridge CS5 you could make an Smart collection that were looking for: All metadata > contains > "here we add a value from a metadata only visible from the Advanced tab in File info"
But this nolonger works in CS6.
Although I can go to File info and see the metadata value that are visible from Advanced. But the option All metadata, clearly doesn't support the advanced metadata in the file in CS6.
Could this be a bug in CS6?

If any one like to try this yourself and get same or other result, please let me know!
Otherwise this must be a bug to report to Adobe.
I don't have CS5 installed anymore but CS6 is still present while I use Bridge CC for my daily workflow (MacPro MacOSX 10.8.5).
I first copied 4 DNG files from my main folder to a subfolder. Those files I added a name to the IPTC extension persons name and saved.
Checked and this name shows in the IPTC extension persons name field in Metadata panel as well as in Advanced Tab in File Info IPTC Extended Properties / IPTC4xmpExt:PersonInImage(Bag container).
I closed the subfolder and used the smart collection icon to bring up the Find window.
I then selected All metadata and filled in the persons name, had subfolders and non indexed already included and put the source field to the main DNG folder.
The result was almost instant with the 4 files showing.
I then quitted Bridge CC and started Bridge CS6
Since I had not used this for a while and my main folder contained 4500 DNG I set the cache quality icon to embedded only. Selected the same folder and followed the same procedure as in CC.
Naturally it took a bit longer because the files needed to be indexed first, yet after this the result was still the same, the 4 DNG files with the persons name showed in the smart collection.
So on my behalf I can't reproduce your problem and for me it is not a bug also I'm afraid.

Bridge has started to destroy our JPEGs; known problem?

Hi,
half an hour ago something - possibly Bridge - has obviously started to destroy our JPEGs. We first noticed strange artefacts in the Bridge previews; then we were shocked when we discovered that the files themselves were altered (without changing the modification date of the file). We checked this by connecting the external drive that contains the files to another computer: It's not a problem with the previews, the files themselves are destroyed. (On this other computer GIMP gives the error "Corrupt JPEG data: 3841 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9" when opening the file I've attached to this post.)
Fortunately the NEF files are unaltered. A check of the hard drive shows no problems.
We're not 100% shure that Bridge is causing this - but since Bridge was the only program open at the time and since the problem developed while using Bridge it seems very probable to us that Bridge is involved in this phenomenon.
Did you observe anything similar? Is this a known problem? We didn't find anything when searching Google or this forum.
Thanks for your help!
(We're using Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5.11 on an iMac with Mac OS X 10.7.5)

- mainly (only? I don't know exactly) files are affected where we added metadata;
The clue about no change in modification date in the first post would mean you did not alter the files. However this changes things because you seem to have done so.
In normal use while adding metadata or rename the file needs to be saved again to apply the changes. While doing so Bridge updates the thumbs and previews to reflect the new situation.
If this save action would be the cause of the destroyed jpegs they should have shown so immediate after applying the changes. But yes, we all are in a hurry and have a short memory
If you have pointed Bridge to another folder while the save was still in progress then you would not notice it but also the cache is not likely to rebuild until you point Bridge again to the folder.
The moment you point Bridge to that folder first the thumb rebuilds and then the preview to reflect the changes. Because the modification date did not change to the date you saw the changes happening it is likely the problem has been caused before but you have not noticed earlier until you pointed Bridge to this folder which started the recaching of the files (only modification of the cache file, not the original jpeg) to reflect the new situation.
Don't use Gimp myself but a jpeg is a jpeg and an international standard so they both should be able to read and write correct files.
Therefor it stays a strange problem and you should back up your files frequently in case this starts happen again. If it is a one off we keep wondering what it might have been but if it repeats I would first suspect the disk (running a health scan is not always pointing to other problems like correct read write permissions and also folders can get corrupted for strange reasons).
BTW, I never have been a fan of RAID, to expensive and to much space needed. A simple back up scheme with different disks has always done the trick for me.
