If you need precise selections, use the pen and not quick select. What is happening is that the selection marquee only shows areas that are 50% selected, IIRC. Try adding a Levels Adjustment layer above your image layer. Drag the Black slider WAY to the right, you'll get a much better view of what areas are what shade of grey or actually 255 white. ...

This cannot be done in Bridge. You would need to create an Action in Photoshop that converts the photos to grayscale. This is NOT colorspace, which would be sRGB or whatever. You cal use an adjustment layer, channel mixer, desaturate, or a few other methods to do so. Camera RAW can do these conversions but it can't be scripted. ... View more

I hope you are charging them enough. You can try using a Levels adjustment layer to change the image contrast and make selections easier, but this is going to be a lot of manual work. ... View more

My suggestion is that you take a Basic Photoshop class because I can tell that you are in way over your head. ... View more

You can change the default in Preferences. Bridge doesn't (at least on Windows 10) use the list of system apps. And oddly, in Windows Settings, neither Photoshop nor IrfanView can be set as the default to open JPEG files. I tried editing the actual list of openers and apparently (for JPEG files) only one choice beyond Photoshop will be displayed. ... View more

Since xmp files are plain text, this could be fixed with a script in a text editor or something like Perl. I don't use presets so it isn't a problem for me, just saying. ... View more

I haven't tested LR yet but I have a standard import preset that applies Camera Neutral profile to all RAW files. Typically if you apply another preset you get odd results, It SHOULD only change the XMP settings in the second but sometimes it doesn't seem to work right. ... View more

Maybe I'm missing something here. If you need images with a specific edit, do that first. Get all of your source images adjusted, possibly with a script or action, then worry about a data merge. ... View more

You aren't the only one who has complained about this issue. I suspect that Adobe would have to make major architectural changes to Bridge to fix performance. I mostly use Bridge on Windows at work and both Windows Photo Gallery and Faststone smoke it in performance. ... View more

You must have misunderstood. Applications don't "rewrite the OS kernel" or anything like that. I'm a former Mac Genius and this is not an application problem. You either have other software that DOES runs a kernel extension (hard drive software, anti-virus, whatever) or you have bad hardware. RAM speed doesn't cause crashes. Computers have a RAM spec and there is always a range of RAM with slightly different speeds that is compatible. You wouldn't ever know the difference. Since this doesn't happen to other people, there is something about your system that is different. Try removing any third-party software that might be causing the problem and see if that makes a difference. If not, its bad hardware. ... View more

You'll have to wait until it times out and Bridge removes the folder. Bridge is trying to connect and it no longer exists. ... View more

Bridge does not change file dimensions. And you can't open files in Bridge, you can only view them in the Bridge browser. What does Photoshop show as the dimensions when you open it there? Have you gone back to C1 to see if you mixed up your dimensions? ... View more

You realize that we are users just like you? All you are doing is raising your blood pressure. Adobe knows about the problem. They are working on it. I'm not sure what other answer we can give you. ... View more

Sounds like a hardware or system problem. A Kernel bad address is low-level, not something an application would cause. I'd do a clean install of macOS and run memtest to make sure your RAM is ok. ... View more

You don't want to make changes anyway, it will just confuse Photos. I doubt you'll see Bridge get support for iCloud libraries. ... View more

Basically, it depends. Different platforms and different filetypes have different capabilities. Your IT people should find a program (Bridge or whatever) and train the users to do searches. That's the solution. ... View more

You can't use commas in a .csv file because comma delimits the fields. You may be able to use an Excel macro to change or escape the commas, not sure. There are also Adobe Bridge and exiftool scripts to import metadata. i would look into doing it that way if LR won't work. ... View more

None of that should matter. I'm a former Mac Genius myself and have supported Macs for years. Usually when we see hard drive problems, its a power issue. If not that or bad cables, then you have a hardware problem with the computer. Even if Bridge was forcing a software eject, you wouldn't get that message. That is caused by a hardware/physical disconnect of the drive. ... View more

From your USB what? Hard drive? Memory card? Thumbdrive? If you get errors in the Finder, Bridge probably won't do any better. Run Disk Utility on the USB drive and see what it says. You may have a corrupt drive or card. ... View more

I don't agree at all with the idea that Lightroom is for photographers and Bridge isn't. I'm a working pro who does product photography and Bridge is the better product for that. I also shoot landscapes and models and Lightroom works better for that work. Bridge has tighter integration with Photoshop and easier extensibility via scripting than Lightroom. For a workflow using multiple computers and network storage, Bridge is far superior to Lightroom. ... View more
