Viewing multiple images in Bridge preview

Hi - whenever I try an view more that 9 images in Bridge I only get a preview of 9 - no more ( in essentials view) anyone know why this would be?

(and makes some odd layout decisions to make sure it is only 9).
You are right about the odd layout and also the odd way of inconsistency Bridge handles its option for rating in multiple workspaces and panels. They should work on that and I believe (hope...) they are doing so for the next version. But having an unlimited amount of previews in the preview window is not the best idea to my opinion because when you select the lot in the content window it would mean even much smaller then thumbnails previews in the preview panel. It seems something as the best of both as it is now but again, they automatically layout choice of the preview window is mostly unusable and you are more then right at that point.
A second minor for me would be that choosing between more then nine files in detail is also not easy. Although I'm using a very big (30") cinema display personal more then 4 HQ previews for detail comparing is pointless for me but that is my workflow :-)
Using the content panel in Light Table workspace could help if you increase the size of the thumbs but this is very processor and memory consuming so you have to own quite a configuration to make this an easy workflow.
Using the review mode is also not my favorite sorting method but I do like the full screen preview using tab. I have set preferences to build monitor sized previews and when I want to choose I select the similar files and with arrow keys run through them for the first choice. Rating with the cmd + . (dot) and cmd + , (comma) for increasing and decreasing stars and for final choice use a few in the preview panel next to each other.
I often state, so many users so many workflows, it's not easy to produce an app that fit's them all...

How do I view multiple images in one window?

How do I view multiple images in one window? I want to compare images side by side, not in tabs.

Thank you, Barbara. I found that I had to close the program after I turned on "allow floating documents" and restart, before I was able to go to "float all in windows".

I can't view multiple images in tabbed panels in photoshop CC (do not have this problem in PS5 or 6)

I can't set up multiple images in tabbed panels in photoshop CC (do not have this problem in PS5 or 6). Has anyone had this problem with CC and if so do they know the fix?

I just discovered something really weird. If I open the images in
photoshop (and the tabs are not showing) and then open another window on
top of photoshop (for example word or safari) , then the images and tabs
show in the photoshop window. But if I move Pshop to the front screen then
the tabs disappear!

How do I view multiple images from different projects at the same time?

Hello
I've been trying to find the answer in the user manual, but no luck so far.
I did find how to open 2 projects at once, but I can only see one image at a time in the viewer and I have to keep going back and forth between projects to compare images. (These are scans of old photos and I want to eliminate the ones that are poorer quality, so need to compare numerous images from 2 sets of scans)
How can I view an image from one project at the same time as an image from another? I know that it can be done in the same project by apple-clicking the second, third etc image, but this doesn't work if the images are from different projects.
Thank you
Elizabeth

Thank you again Tony
I've now created an album, independent of the projects, and dragged test images into it and it does just the job I needed. Now i just need to keep my brain sorted with which ones are which while i'm working

Using Preview to view multiple images in their own window

So I'm using OS Tiger with Preview 3.0.9 and have selected "Open each image in its own window" in the Preview preferences. And this works, at least for the first 20 or so images. Then it automatically starts to open all subsequent images in the last window as little thumbnails that can be clicked on. When using my newer computer with Snow Leopard I am able to open (seemingly) unlimited windows, each showing its own image. However on this older maching, even with the correct preference setting, I can't view more than a few images at a time in their own window. I hate having all of the images grouped in a single window as it makes it very difficult for me to compare things. I have to keep clicking back and forth, back and forth. I want everything to be in its own window and I will choose to hide or have them floating onscreen, etc.
Is there a limit to how many this version of Preview will show?

Hi Steve, in 10.4.11 I just dragged 223 jpgs to Preview, all opened on one long page or series of pages.
I'd get GraphicConverter, all 223 opened in a seperate window, but you can use it's powerful Browse function to preview & open the ones you want...

Images in Bridge preview too red and saturated

I have used Adobe Bridge CS3 successfully for many years. Now all of a sudden all of my images in Preview appear very red and overly saturated. Can anyone tell me what has gone wrong?? thanks.

I did ALL those things and the problem remains.
Just to be sure about ALL, you followed the KB article with removing cache
and plist etc also?
Strangely images look okay in
the "content" area but overly saturated in preview.
Could you provide more detail about the file types you are using for this
(maybe even provide a screenshot to clarify better) and OSX you are using.
And are you using High Quality settings for preview?
Do you think this means my Bridge is cooked
No, I can't think of that, it must be a setting (or rather resetting)
problem and should be possible to solve to my opinion.
and i'll have to upgrade?
That's entirely up to you, I can only tell you that Adobe has a 3-version
upgrade policy, after this you need to buy a full version to keep on track.
But you surely benefit from CS5 Bridge that is much faster and more stable
then the CS3 edition

Full Screen viewing of images in Bridge CS3

I have Bridge CS3 on my macbook pro that I generally use when I'm on the road. Up until last week, I would use the space bar to view images in full screen mode. Now, mysteriously, pressing the space bar does nothing and I can't for the life of me figure out how to view images at full screen (without resorting to starting a slideshow playback).
Has anyone else experienced this before? Can you offer any help?
Thanks!
J

Can you offer any help?
First thing to try when sudden odd behavior starts is resetting the preferences. Hold down option (alt) key while restarting Bridge, from the pop up window choose reset preferences and try again.
Be aware that Bridge CS3 was the version with the most problems, maybe you have already a newer version? if so you may install and use this on two machines. Otherwise consider an upgrade, you will surely benefit from that

Viewing RAW images in Bridge CS3

After downloading a EOS Canon picture (*.CR2) the Bridge shows the picture correct in thumbnail mode (1).
Switching to Viewing screen mode (2) the RAW picture starts somewhat blurry but within a few seconds it switches to a clear picture.
Recently this feature does not work anymore. The picture remain blurry
What have I done wrong or unintentional changed?

In the viewing screen and slide show mode problems frequently point to the video card driver. Make sure you have the latest update. In some cases the latest update can BE the problem. If so try rolling back to the previous version that worked.
Another option you can try is to go to advanced preferences and select "use software rendering".

HELP! - adding keywords to multiple images in Bridge

I have about 2000 images that a client wants multiple people to add keywords to. Is there a way to export thumbnails and keywording fields to excel and reimport when the keywords have been added? Photos are of different locations and need to be emailed to those locations. I am trying to streamline this...any suggestions?
Thanks!

One is to extract the data to a CSV file the other is to import data from a csv or tab delimited file.

How can I change "date created" exif on multiple images in bridge cs6?

I want to sort images from two different cameras, but the time was set wrong on one of the cameras. I need to match the time. In order to do that I need to change the exif "date created" on all of the images from that camera by 1 hour. Is this possible?

Saving multiple images while in bridge after editing in CR

I have a question involving saving multiple images while in Bridge after they were edited in camera raw PS CS4. I usually view my images in Bridge and select the ones I want to edit in camera raw. I then open the images in camera raw and make the edits which I want to the first image of the group. I then click on the select all button on the top left corner. I then click on the sychronize button and choose the edits from CR which I want to carry through the whole group of images. I then click on the save images button on the bottom left of the CR page. This now brings me back to bridge where I'm looking at the images in their edited version.
This is where the question begins. At this point, I thought the edited made in CR were saved to the images folder located on my computer. But up to this point when Ive gone back to the image folder and looked at the images they were still in their original unedited state although the edited versions showed up in Bridge.
At the point, where I am looking at the edited photos in bridge, do I have to go through another step to save the edited images in Bridge so they will transfer over to the image folder where the images are stored in my computer?

I was looking for the metdata in another window. Ok . I found it and HQ thumbs was checked already. I can see the edits from CR in the Bridge window.
After I check save image in CR, does the edited info get saved only to Bridge or should that be saved all the way to my image folder?
The problem is that when I exist Bridge and look in the image folder the changes I made in CR are not there. How do I get those changes from CR saved to my computer (my pictures)?

File associations in Bridge CS4 for multiple images

After a "cache purge" my file associations got altered. I can go into Edit>preferences> file associations and change that to photoshop; but if I click MULTIPLE images in Bridge and right click "open with" I only get Illustrator as an option. How can I change this to photoshop as a default when trying to open MULTIPLE images?

Ronald Keller - thank you. I am practically in tears laughing about how something so completely simple has had me fretting for days. Could it be my over 60 mind has completely failed me now, or is it I am just a bit rusty on using my software? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to offer up this response!

How do I open and view several images at once?

I like to compare and see what images I've worked on and would like to have them all open at one time. In CS4 you could have up to 15 open and reduced so you could compare them at once and quickly move from one to the other. Is this possible in CS6?

There's actually an instant way to see multiple images in CS6 without changing preferences. Choose Window > Arrange and pick one of the tiling options at the top. I think the new tiling options are a faster way to arrange images than what was available in CS4. If you don't like the tabbed/paned display at all, the Interface preference you want to turn off is Open Documents as Tabs. Whichever way you do it, the keyboard shortcut to flip between open documents (Command-`) still works.
Sometimes it's faster to compare multiple images in Bridge, especially if you want to do a full-screen comparison (select multiple images in Bridge and choose View > Review Mode).
If you don't want to see the background, choose Window > Application Frame to turn it off. Even when it's on, you can still see windows of other applications if you drag any edge to make the application frame smaller, exactly as you would in software like Apple iPhoto.

Soft images in Bridge/ PS CS4

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here who uses PS CS4 & Bridge can help me with an issue that has been bugging me for a while. I am at the point where I am considering selling my gear and reinvesting in something else, both in terms of software and hardware.
I shoot with a Sony A700 and a number of lenses (nifty fifty, sigma 24-70 DG HSM, Tamron 90mm 2.8) and have noticed that no matter what I shoot the images look a lot bright, softer and fuzzy when i get them onto the PC (even considering that the pc screen is so much bigger than the a700's screen).
I have noticed that when I view the images in Bridge, there is a short period of time before bridge has loaded all the images that the image thumbnails themselves appear nice and sharp (as i see them on the cameras screen), then a split second later they are changed so that they all look brighter and a lot softer. If I "purge cache for selection" then the thumbnail appears nice and sharp again. Then when I open the image - which takes me to ACR in photoshop the nasty processing is reapplied.
Is bridge applying some kind of processing or profile to all the images before i even get round to processing them myself? It is ruining my pictures and I am at my wits end with it.When the images are opened in ACR the brightness has been ramped up (although i cant remember the exact settings that are listed as i am at work and my pc is at home), and changing the settings to "As shot" makes no difference at all.
What am I missing? What settings are being applied by the software (this also happens when i load the images straight from CS4 and cut out Bridge altogether) that makes the images look so much worse than they should? I'm fed up with the images loading all soft and a fair bit brighter than they should be. Trying to manually get the images back to where they should be in terms of clarity and brightness/ contrast has so far proved to be impossible, for me at least. And besides, I shouldnt need to be doing this in the first place!
I should also note that I am obviously talking about RAW images and not JPEGS!
Look forward to any suggestions as to what is going on??!

What you are seeing here is the processing, or lack of processing, of the Raw image. Raw is just that it is unprocessed. The image you see on the camera and for a brief instant in Bridge is the jpeg image (embedded thumbnail) the camera generates.
The is a lot of stuff in ACR that could affect this, and I am no expert. I recommend you copy and post this question in the camera raw forum. http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw?view=discussions
When you get a concise answer that gets you sharp images please post it here so others that come across this thread can benefit.
Message was edited by: Curt Y Shooting Raw is not for everybody as it does take more effort to process than a jpeg. Just depends on the subject matter, what you want to do with final picture, and how much you like to tinker with the image. If you find you like the pictures as shot, then use Raw only for tricky exposure shots that might require more manipulation to get a good image.

Viewing raw images

I have photoshop elements nine and have had no problem viewing raw images when i use my compact flash, but i recently purchased a camera that uses sd cards and when i load them i can't see the images only a white sheet with a turned down corner. I need to figure out how to view these images in bridge as well.

I don't think card is doing anything here. Which camera is this? Every version supports a limited number of raw files and new cameras are supported by latest Adobe Camera Raw. Check out following to know more - http://bit.ly/IUMGIc
Latest ACR version available for PSE9 is 6.5
