It could depend on your version of MacOS and Bridge; and if your system meets requirements. You might start here, riswest: Troubleshoot Bridge for freezes and performance issues   I'd start with step 10, then Step 2, then if those don't work, start at the top. "10. Make sure that Bridge is not set to open a folder that resides on a disconnected network on startup. Bridge may not start if the folder that it is set to open to on startup resides on a network that has been disconnected. If Bridge is not starting, and you suspect that a disconnected network drive is the problem, reset the Bridge preferences upon startup to get Bridge to start. Bridge will open to the desktop after the preferences have been reset. See Solution 2 above for instructions on resetting Bridge preferences." ... View more

It worked and then it didn't? Probably due to opening a file that taxed the GPU.   Photoshop system requirements selected bits: AVX Intel or AMD CPUs having AVX2 support Graphics card To find out if your computer supports Metal, see Mac computers that support Metal See the Photoshop graphics processor (GPU) card FAQ   The GPU FAQ lists 9 characteristics that require GPU acceleration (like Camera Raw) and 8 features that won't work without a GPU (like flick panning, perspective warp).   key -- "AVX or Advanced Vector Extensions are additions to the x86 instruction set architecture, which pertain to Intel and AMD CPU's that use x86 architecture." (serato.com; first definition I encountered in my search) "Intel SSE, or Streaming SIMD Extensions, is a set of instructions designed to improve performance by allowing a single instruction to process multiple data points simultaneously, primarily for floating-point operations. Introduced in 1999 with the Pentium III, it has evolved through several versions, including SSE2, SSE3, and SSE4, each adding more capabilities and instructions.

Yes, it is a bit pricey for a photo-only scanner. I have not used it but I have need to scan hundreds of photos (after I take them out of their "magnetic" photo albums, a literally sticky issue). I have $hundreds tied up in orphaned scanners that won't run on updated operating systems, so price is a consideration. It doesn't help with with the 10,000 slides in another project.   As far as damage, high-speed feeding of photos -- old, curved, bent, thick/Poloroids -- certainly increase the odds of damaging them. The best archive is a print; magnetic media aren't really as trustworthy as a print, imo. ... View more

Being "stuck" as a smart object is a good thing, Cari. Smart objects retain the ability to be edited. I'm not so sure about converting the text into a shape; I don't believe that step can be undone.

joeyo, I tried Filter>Lens Correction>Geomentric Distortion>Remove Distortion slider on your posted image, but did not get good results. Perhaps with the original image.

Sometimes borrowing, buy or renting a less-distorting lens is easier than "fixing in post."   This is my attempt to remove distortion using Liquify's Push Left tool, but the chairs (tables?) look bowed. If it's just optics causing the bow, try moving the central portion to a new layer an Transform the chairs. Crude method. ... View more

Liz, before the advent of Lightroom, I used Bridge as my front end for importing and editing my photos but I never bothered using keywords.

hhost, as long as we're asking for a miracle solution, double-sided scanning would be great. One of the difficult parts of scanning larger numbers of prints is turning the prints over to find ID, then naming the file (people)_yymmdd.jpg. 4 prints/scan = 250 passes, ignoring the crop & straighten/save as separate files.   In my experience, I minimized that mess by aligning the prints on the scanner glass as carefully as I could (at the cost of taking even more time).I saved the "contact-sheet file to go back to manually rotate and crop the files with which I had trouble.   Maybe look into buying or renting a dedicated photo scanner? [old name brand] digital film scanners on Amazon, $405US and up are possibilities. Skewing can occur when using motorized feeders [automatic document feeder], but it could be helpful.   For our sakes, maybe someone else in the community has a better solution. ... View more
