Question

Bridge keys not working

Hello,

in our Studio we switched Systems (to iMacs) and with it to the newest Adobe Suite of Bridge and Photoshop from CS6.

Now i ran into some very annoying workflow issues.

 

1. When copying a Pictures from one Folder into another in Bridge, i create a new Folder inside with an articelnumber for those Images. The arcticelnumber in my clipboard gets overridden with the path/address of the images i just wanted to copy. The articelnumber are quiet long and are used often so I want to keep them in my clipboard for quick copy-and-paste.

 

2. when i want to export RAWs from Bridge to JPGs via Camera RAW 13.1 and maybe do some adjustments, I select all Images with CMD+A and save them with CMD+S into an specific articel folder (should also be in the clipboard), but when wanting to create a new folder I cant paste the number in the dialogwindow that pops up, so i have to manuelly write it again, which is timeconsuming.

 

3. also when i´m finished with creating a folder i used to just press ENTER to save and couple of times ESC, to close all windows within seconds, this doesnt work anymore also.


4. when doing a greycard pictures for whitebalance, in the older Camera Raw i justed clicked "save as standart-adjustment" and i was good to go. Bridge and Camera RAW used this settings.
In the newer version i dont have this option anymore.

 

I hope you guys can help me.

Best

What is articel?

You need to use a Clipboard manager if you want to reuse copied data after copying new data.

I'm not sure what you mean in Number 3. Escape doesn't close windows, cmd-W does.

You can still save presets in the newest ACR.

Im sorry, I meant productnumber of the product we were photografing.
So lets say the productnumber is 456735698734985, i have to make 3 different photos for this, so 456735698734985-1, 456735698734985-2 and 456735698734985-3. I want to copy/paste then with cmd+c/v in a new folder with the productnumber, but when creating the new folder and assigning a name the filepath gets copied with it, so than it is "/Users/macuser/Pictures/2021_03_03/456735698734985.CR2" and not just the productnumber, which is annoying and timeconsuming, when you have to make it serveral times a day, even more with the knowlege that in CS6 it worked just fine.

Never used a Clipboard manager, but wouldnt i be the same task, like opening the clipboard searching for the last number and copying it and pasting it again?

 

for 3: I know that Cmd-W closes windows but not Camera RAW nor the CMD-S dialog-box. I just found out that it got changed to SHIFT-ESC and dont know the reason for that or how to change it. the CMD-S dialog box doesnt close with ESC or SHIFT-ESC, not does the ENTER key work for a simple save.

Wouldnt the preset have to be applied on each picture/product seperatly? I just want a default setting which is always the same when opening a RAW in Camera RAW, without having to apply it first.
