Question

No version of Bridge will display raw thumbnails

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Bridge 13.0.3 and 13.0.4 and also uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop 24.7. Nothing works. At each uninstall I selected do not retain preferences. The Raw files will open but no thumbnail is shown. Others appear to have the same problem. How can this be fixed ?

Hello @Andrewspix @dawid5E0B  @@gbrantmon 

 

This issue is fixed with the latest Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 15.5.1 update.

We recommend you to update to ACR 15.5.1, 'Purge' your files in Bridge and confirm if the issue is resolved at your end.

 

Update: Go to the Creative Cloud desktop app, click on Update in the left sidebar of the Apps panel, and Check for updates. Then click Update for Camera Raw.

 

We appreciate your patience and support.

 

Regards,

Bridge team

HI, Thank you for your answer. The problem has not been evident for several days now and Bridge is behaving just fine, although why this is so I have no idea.  My workflow is Bridge downloader>Bridge>Camera Raw>Photoshop, all with the latest versions but I am not currently using beta versions. I will come back with the logs when I can get my head around the procedure.

The first thing I'd try to do is to Purge the cache for that folder.

Go to Tools (menu) -> Cache -> Purge Cache for (xxxx) folder.

 

If that doesn't work, I'd rebuild the Preferences for Bridge.

Quit Bridge (if running). Just before clicking on Bridge in the Dock or double-clicking the application for the Mac, press Command-Option-Shift. For PCs, press Control-Alt-Shift. Then open Bridge BUT KEEP your fingers on those keys until you see a window pop up. From the window, choose “Reset Preferences," "Entire Thumbnail Cache,” and/or "Reset Standard Workspaces.” In your case, choose "Reset Preferences."

 

Let us know if that works.

 

Oh, one other thing to check, be sure you're using the latest Adobe Camera Raw. See if there's an update in your ACC account. You'll see an update for it in the Update tab. If you do not see an update, you should be good.

Hi Gary, Thank you for your reply. It seems life and Adobe are full of mysteries. It appears that while I slept overnight (in Australia) something happened because this morning Bridge is now working as it should with no intervention from me.

Ah, apparently, your computer had a "chip fart!"

 

It happens.

 

Glad things worked out
