Weird color in Bridge CS5

I have dual monitors but one video card, I always calibrate one monitor only. I calibrated my monitor as usually this time, but Adobe bridge and Photoshop started acting very weird. Once the window is dragged to the calibrated monitor the colors go crazy. The first and a third image is the monitor that I never calibrate on the second and last image is what happens when I drag the window to the second monitor(the one that I usually calibrate) Can anybody explain what is going on here?

Update your video card drivers. If this does not clear up problem try the option "use software rendering" in the advanced preferences.

JPG and TIFF colors in Bridge CS5 way off, but fine in Photoshop

Just started happening, but not sure if it was after updating to Bridge 4.0.3 or Camera RAW 6.2. The colors for RAW and PSD files are fine in Bridge, but all JPGs and TIFFs colors are blown out and way off. Opening the JPG or TIFF in Photoshop looks fine though. Anyone else having this issue, or know how to fix it?
Update: If I set the "Develop Settings" in Bridge CS5 to "Camera Raw Defaults" for the JPGs/TIFFs that are displaying improperly, the colors and tones go back to normal, but if I "Clear Settings" everything turns to crap again.

PLEASE help save my sanity and my reputation! --I have spent the last five days exhausting every possible solution to this debilitating issue. I have spent countless hours perusing the web for a solution, spent 4 hours yesterday with Adobe customer support and yet, there is no solution to be found. My issue is that the color (in every file format NEF, JPEG, PSD) completely changes color and desaturates in every one of the adobe products: Photoshop CS5, Camera RAW 6.2, Lightroom 3.2. -
Everything was working fine, and then out of no where my productivity has come to a crashing halt. This is the steps I have taken to this point:
-Uninstalling/re-installing all of the software
-Purging anything that can be purged.
-Changing color profiles
-Resetting defaults
-Resetting preferences
-Installing updated drivers for monitor, video cards
-rollling back drivers for monitor, video cards
-monitor recalibration
**and finally, today...I set the monitor up on another computer, OS windows xp, and to my complete surprise, the issue persists even on another pc with completely different hardware.
-I am at my wits end with this. I have clients ringing my phone off the hook. This is crazy!
-I have sent out for another monitor as a last ditch effort to see if something is wrong with the monitor.
PLEASE, if anyone has a solution please let me know. Apparently, the folks at Adobe are just as perplexed by these issues as we are, as I have found numerous posts on forums throughout the Internet with this same issue---and yet none of the post every found a solution.

Preview panel loses Color Management after Minimize Bridge CS5

Whenever I minimize the Bridge CS5 application window to the Windows taskbar, upon restoring or maximizing the Bridge application window the image(s) currently showing in the Preview panel no longer appear color managed (they look exactly as they would appear from a non-color-managed app.) In order to see them as color managed again, I have to either de/re-select their thumbnails or double click the Preview panel twice (once to minimize it, and once again to restore it.) Otherwise resizing the Preview panel has no impact on the color. The thumbnails in the Content panel are fine. This did NOT occur in CS4 or earlier versions of Bridge - otherwise the same environment.
I have a wide-gamut monitor, which causes many non-color-managed images to look super saturated, especially reds & greens, so it is probably much easier to notice this behavior in this environment than from a typical-gamut monitor.
Windows 7, x64, ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card, Bridge v4.0.3.9
Anyone else notice this annoyance?

Thanks Curt,
I doubt this is a video issue as no other versions of Bridge behave this way on this system. I have the same preference settings in Bridge CS5 as for Bridge CS4 - which works fine. Nor does Photoshop exhibit this behavior post-minimizing, & Photoshop behaves perfectly for all the OpenGL Drawing settings (which I have set to Advanced in PS.) Bridge just seems to poorly manage the Preview panel color post-minimizing the application window, but otherwise everything displays fine during operation. I'd be surprised if it was just me but if it is, it's an easy enough annoyance to work around. I'd imagine that this isn't too observable on a normal-gamut monitor.
I tried your suggestion of "use software rendering", just in case, but it made no difference. Appreciate the idea though...
One more observation:
While thumbnails are being generated for the first time on large images, they also have the non-color-managed appearance until they complete their generating, at which time they take the managed appearance - but I just consider that a processing-timing final step & it hasn't changed behavior from previous versions of Bridge.

Color in both Bridge CS5 and ACR look yellow.

The color in my images are all yellow. I've seen some posts but so far no answer to the problem. Can anything at all be done to fix this problem. It it very, very frustrating. Because it's so yellow I cant use ACR for anything at all. Please help
Igor

Ok, for anyone having this problem with both Bridge cs5 and ACR. Here is what solved my problem. All images were looking yellow both in bridge and Camera Raw, so after I did a back up of my harddrive as a System Image all problems were gone! I have no idea what happened, but now the colors are just fine. The problem corrected itself. So, there you have it. Problem fixed.

Bridge CS5 - weird goings on with thumbnails...

Hi, I'm using Bridge CS5 and raw images from a Minolta Dynax 7D.
Initially I thought the problem was just that thumbnails weren't being updated after an edit in Camera Raw, but its a bit more complicated than that.
If I view my thumbnails through folders (explorer type view), CR changes are seen immediately in Bridge (as I would expect!).
If I view my thumbnails through a saved collection, CR changes are not seen in the thumbnail unless I then make some other change with Bridge - give/change a label or star rating for example - or switch to Folder View - or choose Clear Cache for Selection from the pop-up menu. Not only are the thumbnails not updated, if it was a first time CR edit, the icons above the thumbnail that show a CR change are not displayed either until one of the above is done.
This is so weird, please don't tell me this is by design!
I have Camera Raw version 6.3.0.79; thumbnail options are set to Always High Quality.
Thanks in advance for any help.

To keep you cache in good working order I recommend you compact the cache occasionally to get rid of the junk.
Thanks for your repsonse Curt Y, sadly it doesn't solve the problem.
I've played around with various cache settings in CR and BR and although purging it does force the thumbnails to be re-drawn in any view, subsequent changes when viewing through a Collection aren't shown. Compacting the cache appears to do nothing.

Color label incompatibility between LR3 and Bridge CS5

I have LR3 in English and Bridge CS5 installed in other language. Is this why whenever I assign color labels in Bridge they show up in LR as white(custom). BTW, star ratings transfer correctly.

Color labels are just words (strings) assigned to the photos, and if you use different laguages, those don't match. You can build your own Color Label Set in LR where you enter the words assigned by bridge to the different colors (Menu Metadata/Color Label Set/Edit). Then choose this color label set in LR and you'll get the colors.
LR shows white if it cannot assign the "word" in the photo to a color in the active color label set. You can see the "word" assigned to the photo in the metadata panel ("Label") or all of them in the metadata filter.

Hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 / Lion Problem

Updated to Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion and got this "problem":
The hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 (unlike in 10.6 Snow Leopard).
Normally these network drives are hidden (in Finder and other Apps) - but Adobe Bridge CS5 is showing them, despite "show hidden files" is unchecked in Adobe Bridge.
Not a dramatic "bug", but it also shouldn't be a big problem for Adobe Bridge engineers to solve this. My first question to the Adobe Support was answered like: "we don't know what Apple did change, so we cannot do anything". Hmmm, are you serious?
I tried to resolve that problem by myself but failed. So, if an Adobe engineer is reading this post: perhaps Adobe Bridge is ignoring the automounter master map (that was my approach to resolve it):
# Automounter master map
+auto_master                    # Use directory service
/net           -hosts                 -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home                                        auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers               -fstab
/-                              -static
You cannot do anything to these folders, so it is not a serious issue, but, I mean, did someone at Adobe check compatibiliy with 10.7 and ignored this issue? If so, are there an other issues ignored?
But I guess, the compatibilty update for Bridge CS5 for Lion is Bridge CS6 - to be fair: I also have to say, that in general Bridge is running okay on Mac OS X 10.7.2 (but could be better, as always;)

Hi Curt Y,
thanks for your answer! Yes you' re right, I forgot to mention that ... before I posted here, I sent a bug report via the Apple Bug Report webpage about the issue ... of course, here are 2 parties involved.
I had a similiar problem once and I got a meesage back from Apple: "that it is a 3rd party problem, sorry" (it was about color management).
I am just a user and I often feel very strange about Apple's (topsecret) communication behaviour ... Whatever, what do I know about software engineering? - Right.
Maybe someone on this forum has an idea, because I'm afraid, thus it is not a serious bug, no one would take care about it in the next time (during my research I found an older post here on the forum about the same problem ...).
thanks for help in advance,
jobumac

How to add a Description Column in the Content Panel (Bridge CS5)

Hi,
Is it possible to add a Description Column in the Content Panel. If so, how?
I'm talking about the Description from the IPTC Core data and I'm using Bridge CS5.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

This is the screenshot of the Metadata Workspace with the Content Panel (not Metadata Panel). As you can see it shows Name, Label, Keywords etc. but it's not possible to show Description in that list as a column.
I still agree that it would be a big bonus if you could alter this workspace with description field (even with more lines etc) but what Curt shows you might be an alternative. I couldn't help noticing that you have not created your own custom workspaces.
Try and play with this. You have the option to divide the window in 3 columns max but you can create different panels as a row in 1 column.
Grabbing a tab and move it to a new location until a single blue line appears (between the borders, a bit tricky). A vertical blue line means as a column and a horizontal line means a row. A surrounding blue line means same panel but adding as a tab. You can rearrange the tabs by dragging to left or right. under the menu window you can select which panels are visible or use right mouse click menu on top of a panel to choose.
Sadly enough only 3 columns and only one panel of it's kind per workspace, but you can resize the panels also to your own workflow needs.
In Bridge preferences you can change the colors for background in the general tab and in the metadata tab you can select what info to view in certain sections. Personally I have set my IPTC to view only description, keywords, date created and a few other subjects.
That is the nice thing about Bridge, creating custom workspaces, save them and being able to recreate them without problems :-)
I attach some screenshot of my daily workflow (with the luxury of having a 30' screen) but there are plenty of other options possible, don't forget to name and save your workspace.

Bridge CS5 not showing contents of .ase files

Bridge CS4 showed the contents of ase files but Bridge CS5 just shows the .ase icon, can you help?

We have a machine with a fresh install and Bridge had not been opened. Same result as the rest of you guys. It works in CS4 (Mac & Win).
It's not in the "File Type Associations" of CS4 or 5, but they still work in CS4....weird.
There is an update to CS5 v4.0.3 out now. I installed it on a fresh CS5 install and it still doesn't work. I think they may have taken the feature out or something.
I'm not finding any evidence of it being a bug necessarily.

Dimensions in inches do not match in PS CS5 and Bridge CS5

Comparing the dimensions in inches between Mac Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5 show errors in Bridge's calculations.
Example: PS shows in image size 30 x 16.891 inches. Bridge shows in Essentials that the file is 30.1 x 17.
Is there a way to resolve the difference?
Seems that the dimensions of the file would be exact in the Metadata Panel of Bridge, but it shows the same dimensions of the Essentials data below the preview.

Well, I'm not necessarily suggesting it as a permanent solution, just a workable fix to get up and working again. Which is what I've always done - anything's better than those useless junk profiles that these manufacturers keep pushing down unsuspecting users' throats.
But it's true, some calibrators really are "silly devices" and in some cases you really are better off using sRGB. I've accumulated about 8 or 10 different calibrators over the years but if you ask me now I only trust two of them. Both especially and exclusively made for the displays they're used on.
Still, it never hurts to get into good habits early on. Your knowledge improves, your equipment improves, and you move on. The early takeaway for me was that it helped me understand what color management is and what it does - and where it does it. Pretty basic stuff, but nevertheless an important leap in understanding. A small step for a man and all that...

Bridge CS5 is Corrupting Raw and JPG Files Right Before My Eyes

I am using Bridge CS5 on a Mac to work on Raw files from a Canon camera. The files all looked good in the cameras review, and looked good when downloaded to the computer then the files started to corrupt and become unusable one at a time as I watched. They became all white or lines of color. Not all of them corrupted yhough (about 225 of 1100 did though). I eventually worked the uncorrupted files and even turned them into JPGs and sent them out. The next day I pull up the pics in bridge to see if they are still bad. All of a sudden files I opened and worked on yesterday started to corrupt one after another. Both the JPG and Raw files are corrupt and unusable even though they worked yesterday. It only happens when in Bridge. What is going on? This is riduculous.
Terry

Thanks for responding. What happens is I highlight a large group of files then click on open with Bridge or in Bridge I go to the subdirectory with the files. All the files are in a filmstrip on the left side of the screen. All of a sudden the file that I am viewing becomes corrupt (that is it turns into multiple horizontal lines of colors. Then I can watch as it happens to one file after another. I would compare it to when you quickly view film strips that were just uploaded and the initial thumbnail is blurry and then slowly all the thumbnails get clear as they process. But here they appear to already be fine thumbnails but then turn into the files with horizontal lines or sometimes just 30% or so so of the pic is visible and the rest is white or gray. When I try to open it the file cannot be opened because it is corrupt. It happens to both the RAW and the JPG file (I shoot in Raw+JPG). The first day it happened to about 200 of the 1200 files. So I was able to process the 1000 good ones in Raw convertor and create JPGs with no trouble. The next day I open all the files in Bridge again to see if the bad ones are good now and files I had already opened and were perfectly fine in RAW converter start to corrupt one after another like the ones did the day before. So I doubt it is the card or hardware it only happens in Bridge. Bridge must have the capability to do something to the files. It isnt making XMF files so thats not it, it is actually corrupting the RAW and JPG files. Have you ever heard of that. I found another forum with what sounded like the same issue to someone who had a Canon: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/645620
But this happened to Windows and I use MAC.....but I do use a 7D like them. I still wonder if Bridge just doesnt work well with Canon 7Ds or something like that. The above thread never found a solution. Maybe someone from Adobe has heard of this from others and discovered a reason or solution. Until then I cant trust Adobe products at all....which really sucks after how much it cost me, but whole shoots lost is worse, I guess.

Corel Painter RIF Files In Adobe Bridge CS5.1?

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can view Corel Painter 12 RIF file thumbnails in Adobe Bridge CS5.1 For Windows? Right now Bridge just shows a blank icon. When I used Painter 11, the RIF file icons showed a thumbnail of its image in Bridge. When I upgraded to Painter 12 this went away. I can see the Painter RIF file thumbs in Windows Explorer, but not within any Adobe application.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Michael R.

Yep, same here. Running Adobe bridge CS5.1, upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. Navigated to folder that contained a zip file and Bridge crashed. I removed the zip file, launched Bridge again,and went to that same folder. Worked perfectly. On a hunch, I dragged a zip file back into that folder in Bridge, and *WHAP* down she goes again.
Looks like we wait for a fix. *sigh*
Unless...File type association somehow comes into it? Interesting, I just checked (it's under Preferences) and neither a zip file or a doc file is in the list.
Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any way to add a new file type. Hm. Don't know if it has anything to do with the crashing, but man, what a pain this is!

Adobe bridge cs5 64bit - HELP: photoshop plug-ins doesnt work

Hi to all this is my 1st post since its my 1st time to have a problem with adobe. My problem is that i selected a number of images and tried a batch image process thru Tools > photoshop > image processor. After clicking nothing happens. I also tried the other plug ins like HDR, Batch etc but nothing seems to work. I went to the directory folder and all of the plug ins are intact and in the " plug-ins " folder. I also updated everything just now but still no luck. What happening here,please help me out. Thanks
Dex

"Reveal my scripts folder" is to reveal the user's folder for costom scripts, not public scripts. If you have no custom scripts like you developed yourself and want to load it into Bridge, then the folder is empty. It's normal.
The issue seems not plugin but scripts installed by Photoshop not working. Could you please let me know the version of Photoshop and Bridge:
Photoshop: Help>System Info
Bridge: Help>About Bridge
You mentioned you updated it 1st time, you mean update PS or Bridge? Could you please send me via private message the install log of update? You can find it here:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.*
Windows 64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.*
Thanks,

Problem opening Bridge CS5 in Windows 7

When I open Bridge CS5 in Windows 7, I get a pop-up window from User Account Contro that asks "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" The program listed is Bridge. If I say NO, Bridge doesn't open. If I say YES, Bridge opens normally. This question pops up every time I open Bridge but not with any other CS5 applications or any other program. Any suggestions? Thanks,

This is a permissions issue within the OS. Next time you start Bridge right click on the icon and select "run as administrator" and choose yes. Perhaps it will stick that way.
