View Quark File Previews in Adobe Bridge

I would like to have a way to preview Quark Files in Bridge. This would be useful for people who switch between Adobe and Quark products or who are migrating from Quark to Adobe products, or like me have taken over a position where I use InDesign, and the person before me used Quark. It would increase my efficiency greatly I believe :-)
Thank You!

Is Bridge set up to store the ACR modifications to those XMP files? Only then it can update the preview right after working on it. Else you need to refresh the preview cache.

  • Viewing RAW file thumbnails in Adobe Bridge

    Hello folks have a problem which is driving me crazy and I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some pointers. Until recently I was able to view my NEF RAW files as thumbnails in Bridge, click on them and they open in camera raw fine. But all of a sudden though, as I open a folder in bridge I get a brief display of thumbnails which then all convert to just a white sheet icon. If i click on any of these identical icons then the file opens as normal in camera raw,but I cant see the thumbnail preview to know which shot is which. Has anyone had/solved this problem - any ideas as to what it might be causing it? All ideas gratefully received. I am using Elements 8 and Bridge CS4. I have looked through Adobes threads and they had some trouble shooting tips on the issue but these have not worked.
    One of the issues they mentioned was checking if your bridge files were in the right place. I am not sure if the bridge file should be inside the Elements file or or not - i am wondering if this might be the problem as i accidentally moved my bridge file and then moved it back to the applications file - so i have included a screen grab of where my files are. and this is what the NEF - RAW thumb looks like instead of a thumbnail
    Any help or pointers very GRATEFULLY received

    Since no one else, like Barbara has replied more to this, at least publically, I will give some suggestions although I'm a Windows user and it would seem you're on a Mac.
    The momentary flashes of image followed by a white sheet icon means that Bridge is initially showing you the camera-embedded JPG preview image, which typically has black bars, and then what is supposed to happen is Bridge uses its ACR to render each RAW using Adobe settings and recreate a new preview.  Apparently something is wrong with Bridge's usage of ACR so the Adobe-specific preview never gets created. 
    Your "new" D300 has been supported since CS3 ACR 4.3.1 so it isn't your CS4 ACR version being older than your camera that is the problem, unless the model of camera was mis-reported. 
    A clarification question: is it the case that NEFs from both your older camera and the newer D300 fail, now, in Bridge?  Another question would be what version of ACR is being used in Bridge and what is being used in Elements.  You can figure this out by doing Help / Plug-ins... / Camera RAW in Elements and maybe there is something similar in the Bridge preferences area.
    As far as what could be wrong:  on a Mac, I believe there is one ACR plug-in for Bridge and another ACR plug-in for Elements, but I have no way to verify where to look on the Mac for them.  Your symptoms suggest that the PSE ACR is ok, and the Bridge ACR went missing or was damaged, recently, and you may be able to fix things by updating the Bridge CS4 ACR plug-in on the Mac to whatever it thinks it needs, or ACR 5.7 if you want the newest one compatible with both CS4 and PSE8, although PSE8 can be updated to ACR 6.1 which wouldn't be compatible with Bridge CS4.
    First, try to use Bridge / Help / Updates to check for a new version of ACR and install one if it finds one to install.  If it sees nothing to update, then try to manually install it via the instructions on the Mac-ACR 5.7 updates page.  There is an install for CS4 and an install for PSE 8.  It isn't clear if you can merely use the update for PSE 8 or need to also do the update for CS4.  I would try both updates if you can find folders that match both the PSE and CS4 ones mentioned in the instructions. 
    To find the ACR 5.7 update for your Mac:
    Go to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    Change the drop-down up top to Camera RAW - Macintosh and Go
    Click on the ACR 5.7 link.
    On the page that comes up there is a download and instructions for various products including PSE 8.
    You may need to clear your previews cache, again, after installing.

  • FFX file preview with Adobe Bridge

    Hello all,
    I did post a similar thread in the Adobe Bridge Forum but I thought that possibly the AE comunity may understand my problem a little better.
    I wanted to begin learning After Effects CS4, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS4 is halting my education.
    My approach to viewing the presets, I begin from within after effects, I click the drop down tool bar on the right hand side of the [effects & presets] panel, I then click browse presets
    If I explore any kind of After effects CS4 preset, and preview it inside of Adobe bridge, my pc freezes. The preview window, within Bridge CS4 turns blank white while it freezes,
    the Windows toolbar of Bridge CS4, says not responding temporarily, if a wait a little while around 30-45 seconds I regain control of my pc again, the preview box occasionally will show a still image and sometimes it will stay white or flickers. If I do wait the 30-45 seconds the toolbar window no longer says 'not responding' I can click to a (non) After effects preset folder, (for example) 'My family pictures' and it will operate normally but if I go back to the After effects CS4 presets again the freezing will occur once more.
    What I find strange is that Adobe Bridge previewing, works absolutely fine for my photoshop documents, Illustrator documents, and any Jpeg photos I have, all after effect presets fail to preview, regardless of type if it's a still shape background or animated sprite, the same freeze issue occurs
    I was wondering if anyone has helpful tips?
    so far I have downloaded all important driver updates for my graphics card, my card is a nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 256, I have also reinstalled bridge and AfterEffects, I have downloaded the latest Quicktime player, I tried reinstalling it additionally.
    I am a Windows vista user, also I have enough RAM I believe, just over 3 Giga
    I dont know how useful the info is on my Pc spec is, but I thought it could be worth mentioning.
    I have looked for a few hours to find some kind of thread with a solution, I have been unsuccessful, I hope someone can help.
    Kindest regards Julian

    Hi Mylenium, thanks for sparing me some of your time.
    I did as you said, within my QT panel, *GDI only* sadly had no positive effect from my perspective, the freezing occured as it has always
    For future reference is this setting how I should have it normally, or should i put it back on DirectX accel?
    any other thoughts on what the problem could be?
    regards Julian

  • Don't have permission to delete files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3

    Help!
    I'm unable to delete image files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3.
    Workflow:
    1. Take a bunch of photos on my Nikon
    2. Load them to my MacBook Pro, 10.6.3
    3. Open them in Preview and right-click "Move to Trash" on the photos that I don't want.
    ==> this results in "Move to Trash Failed. Some files could not be moved to Trash."
    4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
    ==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
    I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.
    Permission on the image folder start out at
    me: Read & Write
    admin: Read only
    everyone: Read only
    but even if I change all to Read & Write, I still get the same errors.
    What's going on?????
    Thanks.

    Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue...

  • CR2 files from CANON will corrupted when preview by Adobe bridge

    Hello Frides
    This problem started for me since Sep 2012, on CS5 and CS6
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    64 GB Ram
    Quad Core i7
    ACR 7.3
    ACR 6.2
    Camera Canon 5D M2
    The problem is when I preview my archive files it corrupt the as well; I can see the CR2 file using ACDsee Pro 5 but when I convert them to Tiff or JPEG it export the corrupted file.
    The scary part is if I'm losing my archive CR2 files,
    I can’t open these file in Canon Digital Photo Professional after they damaged with Adobe.
    This evening I was working on a photo and export it as Tiff , when i change directory in Bridge the same CR2 file corrupted!!!!!
    I delete the XMP file associated with the CR2 didn’t help, its look like when bridge try to update the thumbnail somehow it
    I tested on my portable workstation
    Lenovo w701ds
    16 GB Ram / i7 QC / Window7 Pro
    stil get this random problem.
    CHecked the CF card / Card reader / all my cables  on both PC's
    My problem is a software problem
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!   SOS

    I have tried all of those and different versions/order of import, different drives and different cards.
    Sorry, cross posting the same time it seems.
    I just put the image back on the memory card and checked it in the camera and it views normally in the camera.
    Again, you are not viewing the Raw file at the back of the camera, it can't show because the Raw data needs to be first demosaiced using a dedicated Raw converter like ACR or Canon DPP. What you see is the embedded jpeg preview the camera produces for this purpose and for using in Finder and other systems that can only view jpeg.
    I did try downloading it to a different hard drive directly from the camera...I was able to view the image for about 30 seconds before it corrupted. As I mentioned, for this particular image I actually did a full ACR edit and created a jpg from the RAW file yesterday.
    Here we are getting to the strange part of the problem. Can you provide a screenshot of the problem file?
    When this happened about 6 months ago, after re-creating a file in the adobe library (unfortunately I can't remember where it was or what the file name was)...it stopped.
    That probably would mean the Cache file and plug in from the User library / caches/ Adobe/ Bridge CSxx / Cache and plug in
    or from same user library / preferences / Bridgexx plist file. Both files are recreated fresh and empty after restarting Bridge
    I was actually able to go back to the corrupted images (4 out of 6) and view the corrupted images and edit them normally!
    Try to reset the default setting in ACR
    It just started again recently and I have 5 or 6 images that it's happened to. The first 5 corrupted as soon as I loaded them in ACR, this is the first one that corrupted after I edited it. I've tried opening them in iphoto and Canon DPP and they initially preview normally and then corrupt once they fully load the jpg preview.
    Can you show both results from ACR and DPP in a screenshot?

  • Problem viewing video-content folders in Adobe Bridge

    Hi there.
    I have problem browsing folders inside Adobe Bridge CS6. When I get into a folder that contains files that are not just images, Adobe Bridge would not responding and would have to be closed. With the folders contains only images I have no freezing issue and Adobe Bridge run very fast and normal. I usually store images and videos inside the same folder on my image-video albums. I am running windows 8.1 on my laptop computer. I have selected several files with diverse formats inside a test folder each time to check if the program is able to represent the folder or not. I choose a mp4 file inside an image album and it did not response. I replaced mp4 with a ts video file, a wma (audio) file and a docx file (Microsoft word) to see if Bridge can show the folder or not.  Only in case of Microsoft word file the program worked but with the mouse indicator twinkling. Is there any solution to the problem? Should I use a newer version of PS to overcome this drawback?
    Thanks for your attention.

    Even the latest versions of Photoshop do not support all types of video files, only some.

  • Testing on a Mamiya 645DF  with an Aptus II-7 back.  What do I need to do to make the files readable on Adobe Bridge CS6?

    Hi there.  I'm running tests on a Mamiya 645DF + with an Aptus II-7 back.  The RAW files are "mos."  What do I need to do in order to make the files compatible/readable in Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6?
    Thanks!!

    I do not see a camera named "Mamiya 645DF" in the Adobe list of cameras supported by any and all versions of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).  However, the Leaf Aptus-II 7 has been supported since ACR 4.6 in CS3 and ACR 5.1 in CS4.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Unless Mamiya somehow messes with the raw format of the Leaf back, your files should be opened by any version of ACR that runs with CS6.  The current version is "ACR 8.6 for CS6".
    Try Purging the Cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge.
    Tools >  Cache > Purge Cache for Folder "xxxx".

  • Previews in Adobe Bridge in Essentials View do not update after manipulation in Adobe Camera Raw

    When I open a RAW file in Bridge and manipulate it in ACR, the preview is not updated in Bridge Essentials View.  The only way I can get it to update the preview is to open the file in "Preview" view, then it updates and looks fine in Essentials view.

    Is Bridge set up to store the ACR modifications to those XMP files? Only then it can update the preview right after working on it. Else you need to refresh the preview cache.

  • Fxp file issue in adobe bridge

    Hello, I am posting here because I believe I have a small bug with fxp files in bridge.
    Basically, when I go thru Bridge to open an fxp file it opens in Flash Catalyst, but does not load the panels.
    If I go thru the program and open the project in Flash Catalyst, not using Bridge in anyway it works fine.
    Using Bridge 4.0.3.9 and Flash Catalyst version 1.0.0.273393
    My machine is windows 7 - 64bit, i7 920 processor, 6 gig ram, gtx480 card. Drivers should be up to date.
    Issue: Panels do not load (stay white) in Flash Catalyst if clicking a .fxp file in Bridge. Does work fine if opened thru the program itself.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for looking into it. One thing to add.
    the panel tabs show up, and I can switch between tabs, unfortunately they are still white with no information in them.
    Also the first time I tried to open a fxp file thru bridge, it tried opening them via After Effects, which was wierd.
    A quick log off, and it fixed the problem.  I looked to make sure that the fxp extention correctly attached to a CS5 program in preferences, but I did not find a fxp extention listed in there.
    Although if I right click the file and use Open with, it says, Flash catalyst is the default program for it.
    Thanks again.

  • Having troulbe viewing pdf files in my adobe reader

    I am having trouble seeing some pdf files like income tax returns or my sons fafsa application both online and when i try to uninstall to reinstall to see if that would fix the problem, in my add/remove programs it comes up and says "this patch package could not be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch package. when i open up up my adobe reader it says the version is 11.0.5. can you help me in telling me what i need to do?

    I have a similar problem. After updating to Reader 11.0.6 on January 17, 2014, I could no longer print on certain printers. I finally was able to print again after uninstalling 11.0.6 and going back to a previous version which I selected from the Adobe other systems page - it was 9.5. Prints fine.
    I tested this on two computers with the same results. The printing dialog box does not even appear - it works correctly with files from other applications such as Word.
    My system configuration (I know it is old, but it works) - Windows XP Pro - both an SP3 - 32 bit and an SP2 32 bit. Network is Novell 4.12 and the printer is configured on a Novell print server. HP4050 laser.
    I did try printing to another printer on the network, HP3012, which is configured as an HP IP printer - which worked OK using Reader 11.0.6.
    Reader 11.0.5 was fine, 11.0.6 has a bug.

  • I cannot view PDF file (though have Adobe Reader 9 on my computer)

    Why do I get the message "the application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.  Reinstalling application may fix this problem" whenever I try to open a PDF file (both from Email and from Harddrive). I have Adobe Reader 9.  Does anyone have any clues?  Thanks.

    Uninstall, use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove anything left in the Registry, then re-install.

  • Is it possible to view "Attach File" annotations in Adobe Reader for iPhone 5s?

    Most of my annotations transfer well from Adobe Reader XI to Reader for iOS but "Attach File" annotations don't seem to carry over. I would like to be able to attach image and video files and have them function on an iOS device.
    Versions:
    iOS: 7.0.4
    Adobe Reader iOS: 11.2.1
    Adobe Reader Windows: XI 11.0.0
    It would also be nice to have the same comment tracking functionality that exists in the desktop version. Knowing when and by whom each comment was made would be helpful in the field.

    Thanks for your feedback. Adobe Reader for iOS does not support attaching of images and videos at the moment.
    We have taken note of both your requests.

  • Adobe Bridge Image previews missing

    I have 2 digital cameras one is a Fujifilm Fine Pix Pro S3 and the other one is a Nikon D200. The Fuji photo files show image previews in Adobe Bridge (I use Photoshop CS2) but the nikon files only show an icon with NEF displayed. How do I get the image previews? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am using an iMac 27" too and I've faced in with this situation as well as you are, I hve tried several different setting but it feels like it is normal. I've gone trough on Bridge, CC and CC2014 nut they are all the same. If you open on camera raw any raw files you might see similar softness. As soon as you convert to JPG,TIFF, PNG... it will be fine.
