View 2 RepliesI just installed Photoshop CC last night and today Bridge is VERY slow. Every folder I open even if I opened it yesterday has to build some kind of an index. Also it keeps crashing it never crashed before.

The message says: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation." I have cleared the cache, but the message keeps appearing.

Mainly, I'm just trying to get the Photoshop to work, but the other programs would be really nice as well.
Every time I try to start photoshop, this error message comes up: "Your Adobe Photoshop User name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."
I just installed Windows 8, and while it was very confusing I accidentally deleted all of my programs (I got confused with what the Reset Tab was) and when I went to go and install Photoshop Trial, it's telling me I need to update Adobe AIR because It's not available to my system.
I've installed it before, the only change was from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and I've seen other people with Windows 8 use Photoshop CS5?
I was gifted cs4 extended and when trying to install it says the database is corrupt.

With my DVD installed on my new computer that runs on windows 7. After the installation, I tried to open photoshop to activate. When the program stats to open and freezes almost instantly. I have to open the task manager to close the program that appears not responding.
My new computer is a Workstation, S5000XVN Intel motherboard, 24 Gb of Ram, NVidea Quadro 2000.
Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
I have a brand new Dell desktop that runs windows 8. I installed the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection and got a message saying that there were errors during installation and some things might not work properly. I uninstalled and did it a second time. Same message.
I then spoke with an Adobe agent who told me to download a program to detect what the errors were. He said they were minor issues and shouldn't affect the programs. I then spent hours today speaking with Dell on the phone and the rep took remote control of the computer and did a diagnostics check on the hardware. He said everything is fine. I asked him if it might be the video card needing an update so he ran an update. Same issues, no change.
We changed the compatibility to windows 7 and still no change. I then uninstalled the creative suite and tried installing it from the desktop. Still same problems. These are the issues in Photoshop:
1)When using certain tools (transform tool, crop tool) the images goes completely black.
2) The background switches at random- sometimes checkered, sometimes grey, and sometimes black.
3) Color saturation is incorrectly represented. It switches whenever it wants. For instance, when I zoom in and out it changes.
In Adobe Bridge some of the RAW images don't show in the program. Some I just can't open. Others open fine. Those images will open in Photoshop but not in Bridge.
Adobe Bridge and reading from three cd's worth of pics. As you can see from the attached screen shot, I'm getting strange posterization. Sometimes the thumbnail is posterized and opens correctly, sometimes the thumbnail is good, but opens up in ACR posterized, sometimes the thumbnail and image open correctly, and sometimes they're both posterized. I've cleared the cache several times. My verson of Bridge is up-to-date.

1. When I copy the Lessons to my hard drive they are a read-only file and I cannot apply another attribute.
2. When I try to open the Lessons in Adobe Bridge from the CD but will not open. It gives me a message "No items to display with current document kind filter". I can see the files in the left pane and the folders in the roght pane but nothing will open.
3. I have been able to do a workaround by using Widows Explorer, double click on the lesson and it will open in PS CS2 but it will not open in Bridge.
Does anyone like the 'bridge'. I can move images into the workspace faster from a folder on the desktop. Tried using the bridge and found it slow and not user friendly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got gigs and gigs of image data on my HD, and I'm a bit nervous. I was keeping things in esoteric folders, buring CDs occasionally, and sometimes actually backing up. In recent months, I've decided to take my 'shopping seriously (in a business sense) and started to investigate workflow methods. Right now, I'm concentrating on capture and archiving. Some of the Bridge's new features are quite appealing, but still not all that I want.
What I want from my friends here is a discussion on particular approaches, and why they do/don't work for you.
Here's what I am putting together now... Until today, I would dump my camera files directly into a TEMP folder with a date-based name, something like 2005-17-05, that reflects the dump date, not the actual shoot date. I would then let these sit for quite a while before doing anything with them. Really, the problem was that I got too caught up in details when trying to devise a folder structure, so I didn't follow through and kept inventing new things to confuse me. I'm very good at that.
I've decided on a handful of broad categories that represent my usual work, and have 3 main folders: Stock, Working, Final. Stock is essentially the images straight from the camera, working is a copy of the file saved as .PSD and where I actually do the image work, and Final is a flat, full-res .PSD of the completed image, as well as output-specific formats like web or print.
Within those folders I have subfolders for various things. The philosophy is this; Stock is broken into general categories that reflect the image's intent (Nature/Trees, or Places/Buildings for example). I also have a Projects folder for directed or consigned collections. Working also has folders, but they are based on the intent of a collection of images that may have different subjects, but fall into a project scheme (New Mexico Hikes, Horses, etc) - more on this in a bit. And the Final folder is a duplicate structure of Working.
I'm OK with 'Stock' as-is, but I'm still waffling on the Working/Final folders. An alternate approach is to keep the same structure from Stock in Working and Final, then have a separate Projects folder for collections. The advantage here is that I can work piecemeal and decide on a collection from a gallery of finals. I can also go back and find the layered PSD used in a Final simply by looking in the same-named Working folder. The disadvantage is in the fact that if I decide early on (before the working file) to create a collection, I'd have to make another collections folder in Working folder, which now spreads out my images. Put another way, I'd have thematically similar works potentially in several locations which makes finding them later a real challenge.
I guess I could just make a list of the images I wanted to use and track them through that way...
In any case, I do not rename any files, except in the case of versions, until I get to the final collection (which will have a text file relating the names to the originals).
Now let's throw in DNG! Not all of my shots are in RAW format, and I've not read enough about the Adobe DNG converter to know if it will 'force' the format on JPGs (I would guess not). So, part of the new workflow would be to automate RAW conversion. The question here is whether to save the original RAW file elsewhere, or in the DNG file itself. That's up for debate, but I will probably keep the RAW data directly in the DNG file.
Finally, we come to Adobe Bridge, which can help sort all this out. Mostly...
I spent most of today devising and implementing a handful of keywords/sets, as well as descriptions and applying copyright via the interface. Good stuff. Since I've got a mixed bag of formats in Stock, I've ended up with a LOT of XMP files, and decided to keep the Cache distributed (read up on Bridge if you aren't familiar with this). Doing this helped me sort and shuffle my collections into the scheme I've laid out above. There is some collateral damage since I've not been consistent in my naming or storage locations, but it's a real head start.
Now I'm on to Archiving, and I see a little snag. I can potentially save all my stock files to a fistful of DVDs, then do the same with the working files and finals. Since I'm using single-use DVDs, I can't add files later to fill up. And since I'll be adding stuff randomly to Stock, I've got to decide on an archiving scheme that doesn't just totally waste time creating a new DVD every time I add a handful of images. There is too much info to squeeze it all onto one disc, so I have to break it up somehow (and yes, I've been considering removable HDs).
The other problem here is that Bridge doesn't appear to support cataloging removable media. I may be mistaken, but I've not found it. That means I'll have to maintain some log that tells me what images are on what disc. Sure, I can use another application, but this would be a killer feature for Bridge 2.0 (are you listening Mr. Brown?).
I've been retreiving picture files from CD's and saving them to my computer through Adobe Bridge in CS3. When I put the CD in the CD drive, I would get a dialog box asking "Open With" and listing all the different programs that are in the computer like Adobe CS3, Adobe Bridge, Windows Media Player, etc. I highlight "Adobe Bridge" then "OK", and then click on that drive in my folders list and the pics open up in Bridge. My problem is that I (stupidly?) checked the box at the bottom of the dialog box that says something like "Always open with this program". Now when I load in the CD, that dialog box doesn't come up and the pic files don't come up in Bridge, even after going to that drive in my folders menu and clicking it..

But Bridge still is not working anymore. I can visit some folders once or twice, but after 2 tries, it stopps and give no reaction.
I have been having problems with Adobe Bridge and ACR and after talking with others, including NAPP Help Desk, it has been determined that I need to uninstall and reinstall both programs. I was told to uninstall through the Adobe Application Manager, however, I see NO option there to uninstall.

View 2 Replies View RelatedYou will need to have CS4 for some of these, and you need to make sure your Extension Manager is up to date. If you aren't familiar with EM, it's a way of managing scripts and other extensions without the copy/paste into folders. You can turn extensions on and off without uninstalling, all from one interface.
Coming soon will be the Configurator which allows similar functionality within Photoshop, but is aimed more at user-interface enhancements.
For some unknown reason...CS2 has started placing "Adobe Bridge Cache" file shortcuts on my desktop. When I click on one, I receive a Win XP error message that says the file .bc is unkown and can't be opened.
These shortcuts have never appeared before. Now the simple act of opening Bridge and looking at jpeg files seems to initiate it.
Questions: Why is PS doing this? Do I need to pay attention to it? If not, how do I stop PS from cluttering up my desktop.

I have a vector shape (which is simply four rounded rectangles) that I have converted to a 3D object,now you can see I've angled the flat plane so it's a little oblique, but what I want to do now is map the 'face' of the extruded shape so instead of lying on a flat plane, the plane itself is warped like a sphere.
Imagine taking these 'chicklets' and pressing them onto a bowling ball instead of lying on a flat table.Is there any way to do that in CS6 or am I going to have to do this in another 3D application?
