just to note, I can click on all the other options under the Edit tab and I can see the Keyboard Shortcuts, Color Settings, and Camera Raw Preferences. I just can't get the Preferences options to pop up. 

I'd say you might have to make sure you don't have ANY other programs open (particularly Photoshop) while using Bridge.  And restart pretty frequently.

This can't be right, surely?  Can you check again?

Its hard drive has 136GB free out of 237GB

These are really feeble specs for modern Adobe, I'm afraid.

Hi @Farah, can you do this for me?  https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

Try this, but no promises.  https://www.damiensymonds.net/act_cellulite.html

Right.  And did you do this?

You DEFINITELY have to turn off the stupid "Auto Select Layer" checkbox in the options bar.

On the Move Tool, I mean.

No, I mean on the flattened version.

Do they stay there even when you zoom in and out?

No.

It looks exactly how I'd expect a still from a video to look.

I'd be fascinated to know why you suspected image fiddling here.

Yes, but have you watched the video?

Yes?  No?

Yes, but have you watched the video?

I think if anything is Photoshopped, it might be the sign, not the guy.

This is a screenshot from a video, yes?  Have you watched the video?

Ctrl O or Ctrl R?

Ctrl O uses ACR through Photoshop.

Ctrl R uses ACR through Bridge.

I'm interested to know if that makes a difference to your problem.

Which is the equivalent of Ctrl R.

I'd be interested to see if it makes any difference when you use Ctrl O instead.

Huh.

And out of curiosity, how do you open your raw files from Bridge?  Ctrl O or Ctrl R?

Just to check - does it crash when you only open one photo?

I also just saw (on another post) that there are new presets from the RAW class. Is there a way I can access or purchase the new ones? Please...

I'll send you an email about this.

I've moved this thread into Brian's area because he's much more intelligent than me.

I suspect your 2080 might not be strong enough, but I don't know.

It's definitely not great, but it should sharpen up okay.

If you want  to add a logo, this is the action you need.

Oh gee, those presets don't exist any more.  There are new ones.

I've sent you an email.

Not at all.

Unfortunately it's not that simple.

If you sent me a carton of eggs, a bag of flour, a tub of sugar, a block of butter, etc, you could ask me to bake a cake with it. I'd measure the quantities I needed, and make a delicious cake.

But if you sent me those ingredients already mixed together and asked me to pop it in the oven, the cake would be a disaster.
