Using Bridge and CR on alternative computers

As a complete newbie to Adobe products particularly Photoshop this may well be a simple question to answer and may already be possible but...
I have recently installed CS4 on a Intel i7 running Vista-64 fortunately with 6Gb of RAM and am impressed. I particularly like Bridge and CR5 and would like to learn to use the workflow practises that the 3 programmes suggest.
Occassionaly I find myself overseas with a camera and a portable computer and would like to use the flexibility that the latter two provide for indexing the photographs as they are taken and looking at/doing minor tweaks on the photos at the time they are taken. I don't need or want to install CS4 on the portable as the main manipulation is going to happen when I'm back home and have some processing power behind me but I would like to use the other 2 on the portable while I'm away from home ase. Now clearly they won't be used on the main system (I'm the only one that uses it) while I'm away so there is little danger of them being used by 2 people at the same time so personally I don't have a problem using the same software on the 2 pcs.
I am fully aware of the potential problems and also realise the needs of the copyright owners to ensure that the software isn't duplicated (I'm also a musician and fully understand the issues of copyright). I understand I can unauthorise the main installation and install the software on the portable then presumably switch between the two in similar situations as I wish but this seems to require the continual feeding of software keys into the two machines. This is one situation where the use of USB keys would actually be an advantage.
Perhaps this is something that Adobe could look at for future versions. Or maybe there is a way to do what I want already...

I am pretty sure that license allows you to use Adobe's software on two computers; however you should check it by reading it.

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
DNG Converter 8.8

Using Bridge and LR with same folders/files

Having organized, edited and rated my photos using Bridge CS4 but recently started getting seriously into LR3 I still want to keep that file structure, either in a transitional period or indefinitely.
I normally use Bridge to import the photos, then spend some time creating sub-folders (one folder per event), organizing them. I'm hoping that I can add those (already organized) folders into LR, but can't figure out how. I see how I can import the photos, but I don't want that as I want to keep them all in the same location (they're all organized on the hard drive as I want them), just have LR "see" them so I can further edit and rate them. How do I do that?
I also want LR to understand and see the edits I've made to my RAW files as well as my ratings, keywords etc.
Are there other things I should keep in mind when having my photos work with both Bridge and LR?

It's possible to work the way you do, but with Lr it's a bit awkward, particularly if you start editing (developing) your images in Bridge.
You ask: " I'm hoping that I can add those (already organized) folders into Lr, but can't figure out how."
You have to import the images. Without importing nothing can happen in Lr.
So, open the Import Dialog. If it shows only the small window of the Import Dialog, click on the triangle in the bottom left corner, to expand the window.
On the left side you'll see the <Source> panel. navigate to the folder in question and click on it to select it. You will see all images in this folder in the main window of the Import Dialog.
Then in the top center of the Import Dialog select <Add>.
<Add> is for importing images that are already on the hard drive and you do not want to change their location.
<Move> is for importing images that are already on the hard drive and you do want to change their location.
<Copy> is for importing images from camera / memory card.
By selecting <Add> Lr will import the images in their present folder and will display the folder.
Your Bridge edits will also be imported because on import Lr reads the image file and the xmp-file where Bridge has stored the metadata of your edits.
But this is true only for import. Should you then decide for an image that has been imported in Lr to edit it in Bridge again, these edits would not automatically be visible in Lr. This is so because with imported images Lr stores all edits in its catalog, and does not display the metadata from the xmp-file where Bridge saves edits.
But you can make Lr read and display these additional Bridge-edits by doing a <read metadata from file>. But this is problematic because <reading metadata from file> will overwrite any Lr edits.
So you see that because of the fact that Lr works with its catalog while Bridge does not, editing images in Bridge and in Lr is a recipe for frustration. It can be done, but it's awkward and prone to mistakes.
Therefore I would suggest to bite the bullet and henceforth use Lr as your only editor. Import images from camera in Lr, do all your editing in Lr.
Since you are used to do edits in in Bridge Camera Raw, Lr will pose no big problems for you.
But if you don't want to let go of Bridge right away, I'd suggest you do at least one thing: After importing the images in Lr refrain from further editing these images in Bridge.

[SOLVED] eth0-wlan0 AP using bridge AND keep internet access

Hi there!
This is my very first post here, so please forgive me if I (unintentionally) violate some rule.
I have set up my system as an eth0-wlan0 access point with hostapd using a bridge.
The IP addresses are provided by a separate dhcp-server (router resp. cablemodem).
My problem is: when I work on the AP I would like to have a working connection to the
Internet/Router. But to get there I have to execute
systemctl restart dhcpcd.service
The AP via the eth0-wlan0 bridge keeps working and I now have a working Internet connection.
AFAIK the dhcpcd service acts (invoked by netcfg) on the bridge-profile to assign an IP
to eth0. After that the bridge is set up and (now hostapd.service is up) the wlan0 is
added to the bridge in AP mode.
It would be great if someone could point out the problem for me.
Thx, Benedikt

After switching from netcfg to netctl everything worked "out-of-the-box". The bridge gets to be the new standard network interface and all traffic on the machine gets directed through it. YAY

Questions about using Rescue and Recovery backup / Alternatives

I have used R&R, created DVD backup set, restored to a new HD. All worked great. Now a few months later I'd like to create another DVD BU set. Apparently we can only create ONE R&R dvd? It tells me I can continue to create the BU dvd set or cancel. My son has an identical X61 tablet and he could not create R&R the first time on DVD. I burned him a copy of mine and he was able to restore to his new HD. So, why restrict to a single copy of a dvd which is easily duplicated?
Question: Is the old R&R dvd compatable with new version of R&R (4.2x)? Can I continue to use it with new dvd BU sets?
Second: has anyone found a good backup utility like Casper which allows complete HD BU to an external drive? This is something I always did before the Lenovo, kept a spare HD to simply plug in in case the operating one failed, great BU. Casper will NOT work with Vista and the X61. Worked with them for several weeks, no progress. Created some hard to remove problems as well.
Thanks!
I do weekly BU to an external TBHD using the Thinkvantage utility but my confidence is not complete.

CS5 using Bridge and a Nikon D750

I have CS5 and a NIkon D750, having trouble with the DNG converter and finding a good download. The one I found doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Downloading the DNG Converter won't magically install it, launch it and run it on each new batch of raw NEF files from that camera.

Two VM's running on different Host needs to be connected using Bridging and joined to VM's domain

Hi,
I am new to the form and vm workstation. Thanks for your inputs in advance.
I have 2 physical machine running Windows 7 OS.
On Host1, I have 2 VM's running Windows 2008 Server & XP. I have joined XP to Windows 2008 Server. If I try to join the VM machine running on Host2 to windows server machine running on Host1, I get the DNS error. However I'm able to ping all the vm machines in any direction. Is it possible to join this VM3 to windows server??

I would suggest you to readjust the wireless settings on your Router....
On the Linksys Setup Page,reduce the MTU size to 1400 and click on Save Settings.Click on wireless tab.... Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings....Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304,Click on "Save Settings"...

Bridge and Camera Data (EXIF)

I need to know how, using Bridge and its metadata routines, to include EXIF data into a record set.
I am a digital archivist of old, long out of copyright books, manuscripts and other ephemera. When scanning an old book I scan them as signatures. Each scan will have two pages which are split, i.e. page 1 and page 4.
Page 1 (the original scan) contains the camera data. The page four image, copied out of page 1, does not contain any camera data when saved. After processing page 1 I add to it the applicable metadata for the volume and export it as a template, applying that template to the record set.
However, the Camera Data (EXIF) does not get applied to all the pages in the record set. Is there any way around this?
Cordially,
A. Wayne Webb

Batch Processing using Bridge to PhotoShop

- I am using CS4 on a PC.
- I shoot RAW and from Bridge I go into Camera RAW and adjust my images.
- Usually I save each one at a time however I would like to learn how to be able to edit each photo using Bridge and Camera RAW ( I’m already doing this), then be able to take all of the photos in the directory and batch process to save as a tiff or jpg for further manipulation.
- I was using Canon’s DPP but want to do all my work in Adobe. The process in DPP is straightforward.
I'm sure this is simple but I can't seem to find it in the menu's or Help.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank, this gave me the direction I needed. After a few tries I think I've got it down pat.
Thanks again.

CSM concurrent bridge and router mode

Hi,
Is it possible on the CSM to use bridge and router mode at the same time ? Or is it only router mode or only bridge mode ?
E.g. in the example below, when using HTTPS entering the vlan 3 , it will be bridged to vlan 3....But when using HTTP entering vlan 3...it will be routed to vlan 4... Will that work ?
Thanks
vlan 3 client
ip address 3.3.3.1 255.255.255.0
vlan 3 server
ip address 3.3.3.1 255.255.255.0
vlan 4 server
ip address 4.4.4.1 255.255.255.0
vserver HTTPS
vlan 3
virtual 3.3.3.10 tcp https
serverfarm HTTPS
serverfarm HTTPS
no nat server
no nat client
real 3.3.3.11
inservice
real 3.3.3.12
inservice
vserver HTTP
vlan 3
virtual 3.3.3.11 tcp http
serverfarm HTTP
serverfarm HTTP
nat server
no nat client
real 4.4.4.10
inservice
real 4.4.4.11
inservice

HI Michel,
first of all you can run bridged and routed mode at the same time but you can not define the same vlan as client and server. If you would change the above config from vlan 3 server to vlan 30 server and place the reals in vlan 30 it will work. A proper layer 2 configuration is for sure the prerequisit.
Kind regards,
Joerg

Using Lightroom in conjunction with a Lab using Bridge

I use Lightroom for my photography on my laptop. However, I am taking a class that uses a calibrate lab and printer setup that only uses Bridge and does not have Lightroom. I would like to manage the photos on lightroom, but export and import the photos to be printed and edited in the lab. Is there a way to do this slickly in Lightroom besides pulling each photo in and out each time? I know how to export in mass, but I don't know how to import a significant number of photos back in after editing. Thanks!
-photolede

Not sure why you would want to re import images you have sent to be printed. It doesn't really matter what the particular software is being used by the class is to print from (and you can't print from Bridge as far as I am aware...it is just a file browser) as long as the system is colour managed (and of course your own system running LR is also colour managed). All you need to do is use LR's print module, print to jpg files from that using whatever the colour profile used by the final printer and on the correct size and type of paper being used. Pass these off to them and the job is done, no further editing should be required at the printing side of things. I
