WinVista CS4 Bridge opening to PhotoShop problem???

I am doing a Total Training class on CS4 PhotoShop Essentials ... great class btw ... and instruction for Bridge says to double click on the file to open said file in PhotoShop. This doesn't work ... known problem??? I am using the latest updates as of yesterday in Win Vista.
Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Sherry

This is definitely your problem. Have never played with the file association page so can't say for sure what to do. Might press "reset to default associations" as that is safe. If that does not correct it, suggest you look in knowledgebase search for file associations and see what they suggest.

CS4 Bridge Opening Directory

Is there a way to configure Bridge to open with the last used directory? My Bridge opens to the directory it was on when I first saved my workspace and I would like it to open with the last used.

Do you have bridge set to launch at start up?
I do and have found that if you want it to open in your last used folder,you need to exit bridge before you shut down not just close it.
I think bridge should automatically exit at shut down making one less step for the user.

CS4 Bridge opens 16bit, is resizing without input from me

Photoshop expert changed settings on me, Bridge now opens all photos in 16bit, I don't know how to change back to 8bit automatic opening like it used to be. Now there is a new after three years of no such problem: I convert a 8x10 to 8 bit, change rez to 72 dpi from 240dpi, save it but when I reopen it it's back to 240dpi and a thumbnail size. Cannot get size/rez changed. Where do I start? 10.8 Mac equipment, these are all new problems with no changes I'm aware of.

When opening a Raw file in Adobe Camera Raw (that is the plug in that is
used by both PS and Bridge to convert Raw files) there is a small blue line
at the bottom of the window. Inhere is a menu where you can change the
setting back form 16 to 8 bit, also the default dpi setting can be set here.

You need to be a bit more specific inhere, do you use PS to change the
size?, can you describe exactly what you do to change it?

Can't Open Bridge Images in Photoshop

Upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6, Windows 7. Uninstalled CS5. Now can't open Bridge images in Photoshop.

Thanks, problem solved!
The first thing I did was check the file associations which, indicating “Photoshop”, I assumed was OK.
But then, motivated by your suggestion, I checked more carefully and found that “Photoshop” was pointing to an earlier version.
Next I “browsed” and reset the association to the Photoshop CS6 .exe file and now images in Bridge open in Photoshop just like they used to.

Bridge CS4 won't open to Photoshop CS5 out of Camera Raw?

I use Bridge CS4 because I prefer it to bridge CS5 but when I edit images in ACR in bridge cs4 and click 'Open Image' I want it to open automatically in PS CS5 and instead it opens always into PS CS4. In preferences>file type associations, everything is set to CS5 so I don't know how to direct opening images from ACR to open in photoshop CS5 not CS4. I've had it working on a different system but I don't remember what I did to get it to work.

Uh huh...and why would you expect CS5 to open the image from Bridge CS4? You haven't stated why you are trying to use Bridge CS4, but as you've found out, that is not an optimal solution....(BTW, troubleshooting 101 dictates that you at least mention what platform and OS you are using).

I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

Make sure you have the right version...

.CR2 files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I recently got CS4 Extended version of Photoshop and need to work on my RAW files, but they won't open. I can see the thumbnails in Bridge and when I try to open them Photoshop says they're "not the right type of document"...so...not sure what to do. I've done a ton of research and cannot figure out why these files are unable to open. I need help!

I've had the same problem recently and worked on the solution this morning. I havn't read the full info stream here, but can tell you what finally worked for me today.
I also have CS4, and recently bought a Canon 7D. My .CR2 files would not open, due to proprietay issues with the new camera.
I first had to buy a download of WinZip, since I wasn't able to open any download from Adobe. The WinZip was about $30. Next, I went back to Adobe/downloads/updates and used Find Product Updates menu. I found the compatable update of RAW plug in was 5.7 for our CS4 version. I clicked the link to this download, and began the process by clicking Save. I then went to the Download folder and found the file from Adobe in the WinZip folder. At this point I went back to the Adobe download site and printed out the download instructions concerning where to find the old plug in, what to do with it, and how to install the newer downloaded plug in.
After all this, I opened CS4, Bridge, located my first .CR2 file, and it worked just fine. I was also able to convert these .CR2 files, once opened, to DNG files.
Hope this helps.

CS3 PhotoShop CS4 Bridge

Hello
I have Photoshop CS3 and Flash CS4. I got photoshop more recently, it's legal incase you are wondering. Photoshop shipped with Bridge CS3 and Flash with CS4. I use the most recent version of bridge because it's better, but I cannot get it to work with Camera Raw and photoshop CS3, it tells me that camera raw editing is not enabled and that I have to get the program to run first.
I won't die if I can't use camera raw, I just want to know why it won't work. I am not going to upgrade to CS4 just becuase I plugin won't work.

If you want to run Bridge CS4, you need to install ACR 5.4 for use in Bridge.
If you want to run PS CS3, you need to install ACR 4.6 for use in PS.
I would recommend that you do all of your Camera Raw edits in Bridge CS4. ACR 5.4 is a significant improvement over ACR 4.6.
When you need to perform additional edits in PSCS3, first save the image to tiff or psd (or whatever) from within ACR 5.4.
Do not open ACR 5.4 editted file in PSCS3/ACR4.6. You may have edits in the file that are not backwards compatible.
Once you have a tiff file, PSCS3 will not have any problems editting the file.
In your situation, I would recommend not having ACR 4.6 installed for PSCS3. Do all of your raw edits from within Bridge CS4.
And don't use Bridge CS3 at all.

Bridge CS4 always opens in the same folder

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS4, Bridge always opens in the same
folder. It used to open up whatever folder I was working on last.
There must be a setting somewhere to tell Bridge to open the last
visited folder but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

Thanks Curt. That helped. I do have Bridge set to automatically start with Windows. I thought that shutting down Windows would cause Bridge to remember the last visited folder since Bridge was closed but I need to right-click on the Bridge icon in the system tray and exit before shutting down Windows. At least now I know why this was happening!

Why does Bridge open raw files (ndg) in Raw window even though the 'Open in Photoshop' option is...

I don't understand why in Bridge there are 2 choices, -1- Open raw and -2- Open in Photoshop and yet both choices give you the same result--The raw window opens with PS below it. After having worked on my raw NEF files I save it to dng. My thinking behind this, is that I alreay have done what was needed and would now like to start working on it within Photoshop. It seems that the only way to automatically open it directly within PS is if I save it as a tiff, psd or jpg. But since this is not what I want to do then why must I add extra steps as opposed to just opening it hwere I want. I mean the 2 choices are there, so why not do what it is being asked?

If I may step in in this discussion, I always use DNG but never have used ACR to achieve this result.
As Curt stated the changes made in ACR to a Raw file (or for that matter a DNG file) are undoable without problems.
My workflow (using Canon CR2 but that is not important, let's say a dSLR generated Raw File) is to use Photodownloader in Bridge (not perfect by far but still the best and easiest way for me).
I connect my CF card using a card reader and let Adobe Photodownloader do the work.
Inhere I use several options:
- convert the CR2 file to a DNG
- back up the original CR2 on a separate disk
- rename the DNG to yyyymmdd (shot date) and sequence number
- add a metadata template for copyright to all the DNG files.
Sorting out the keepers I open the DNG in ACR and either hit Open (for open directly in PS) or use save as Tiff or PSD depending on next step in development or simply hit Done to apply changes and leave it for later use.
The advantage of having both ACR in PS and Bridge is huge. The only difference between both is that by default PS has the Open Button selected and Bridge (open in Camera Raw) has the Done button selected, thats all.
But here is the good part, you can use both simultaneously! For example have PS in film strip mode with multiple files selected and when changes are ready hit Save as start the process but locks up PS itself. Switch to Bridge and use Open in Camera Raw and start with the next job while ACR PS is still running in the background
When I open a DNG in PS using ACR in either PS or Bridge I continue developing with actions and fine tune with layer mask, brush etc etc.
Sometimes use Save As for PSD with the layers still active (huge files) when needing to revisit or not quite ready. But mostly I use an action to flatten the files and save as PSD.
Both DNG and PSD are ending up in my archive, my clients receive whet they want, PSD, Tiff but mostly jpeg and resized.
When having the job finished and every once in a while I clear out the original CR2 files from Back up because in all the years I use DNG (at least 5 years) I never had to use the original CR2 instead of the DNG that is thoroughly backed up as is the original PSD.
But since disk space is cheap you can choose to keep them.
An other option is to include the original raw file in the DNG but I would not recommend that because the file size is getting almost twice as big.
The biggest plus side for me using DNG is that the xmp data is written directly to the file while original CR2 or NEF needs an xmp side car file next to it with this data.
However saving changes to metadata is taking a bit longer to a DNG then to an XMP side car file, depending on system resources and time this never been a real problem for me

Bridge CS4 only opens PS CS4 64bit -- How to change to 32 bit?

Opening a RAW file in Bridge CS4 automatically opens Photoshop CS4-64bit (via Camera RAW). Is there any way to have it automatically open the 32-bit version instead?

I'd like the option to choose EITHER the 32-bit OR the 64-bit version for RAW or for JPGs. It is not obvious how to do this.

Open with photoshop in Bridge CC

When I try to open a file in bridge CC with the command "open with photoshop (default)", I get the message "windows cannot find photoshop CS4, make sure you typed the name correctly and try again". Yes, I had CS4 a long time ago, before CS5 and 6. How can I get bridge to open my files in photoshop CC?

Ok, I go to edit > preferences > file type associations. It shows me a list of file types. I suppose I have to go to canon camera raw in there. It says photoshop, so I click the little arrow there It gives me three choises: photoshop, COM surrogate 6,1 and browse. I choose browse. That brings me in my program files. There I click on adobe and than what? Do I click adobe photoshop CC and open or do I have to go further and click a folder within CC? I hope I make myself clear enough, its difficult for me in English.

Problem with CS4 Bridge and Camera Raw

I just bought a Canon 5D Mark III and can not open the images in Camera Raw through Bridge. I was told to upgrade the Camera Raw plug in. I have 5.7.0.213 already and that is what I could find to download. Can I upgrade the plug in into CS4 Bridge or how do I make this work.
Please, I need help with this soon.
Thanks, Tom

Isn't there any other option? I don't have a compter that can run CS6 and at the moment, upgrading compters and Photoshop isn't going to happen. All I need is to upgrade the Camera Raw Plug-in. There has to be some sort of work around for this.
Anyone have any ideas?

CS3 Extended - Can't get images from Bridge to open in Photoshop

I am wondering if I have this CS3 installed incorrectly. I had CS2 before and after my hard drive failed I ordered CS3. Before the new CS3 arrived I downloaded Picasa from Google and that was my image viewer in the interim. I also installed a trial CS2 on my computer from finding it on the internet. When I downloaded CS3, my RAW images were opening up in Picasa which I didn't like. So, I went to Picasa's software and clicked no to opening RAW images in it. That fixed that problem and I also uninstalled the CS2 trial. But now my CS3 Adobe Bridge doesn't recognize that there is CS3 Adobe Photoshop when I want to open TIFF or JPEG images. It opens them in Windows viewer. Even when I right click on an image in Bridge to Open with, it only offers me two browsers, Firefox and IE. Where do I go to reset the Bridge images to open in Photoshop? Right now I have to switch back to Photoshop from Bridge and go to File-Open.

In Bridge, go to Edit->Preferences->File Type Associations
