I hope that we both find solutions for our respective challenges. Good luck! Thank you! Good luck to you as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I purge my Bridge cache and then the Raw files will load correctly since it seems what I'm seeing in Bridge is not correct? I do see things are loading faster. Yeah, sorry, I should have clarified that. I'm hoping that these changes might help preventing the problem in the future. I'll be interested to hear. However, I didn't expect it to fix the existing problem. So yes, you'll need to purge Bridge's cache. Don't purge the WHOLE cache at once. Just choose a folder in which there are some troublesome files, and purge the cache for that folder, via Bridge's Tools menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purged the cache on just the folder of the session I was working on and they still don't match. Should I be concerned or just pay attention moving forward to see if it happens again?

Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ok, now save a new jpeg from the raw file, and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did that right before posting that. They still don't match. The jpg is darker than what the raw file is showing in Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I also can't remember what you said - does ACR match the raw file, or the jpeg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the jpg version. However I just opened the Raw file & jpg together into ACR and they don't match in ACR either so now I'm less confident. The raw file in ACR does seem darker though the raw file I see in Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 When you save a jpeg, are you doing it directly from ACR using the "Save as" button, or are you opening the file into Photoshop and saving there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing it directly in ACR using the "Save As" button. I just tried opening it into PS and saving it but got the same result. My jpgs that were saved in ACR & PS match, but they don't match the raw file I'm seeing in Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This I need to see. Please open the raw file into ACR, and take a screenshot of it there. Then open one of the jpegs into PS (NOT via ACR, this is crucial) and take a screenshot of it there. Then post both screenshots for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Simmons Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Wait, wait, wait! I'm wrong! When I opened the Raw & Jpg into ACR I thought they weren't matching but they are! I was clicking back and forth quickly and didn't realize it was reloading the raw file everytime I clicked back. If I click slowly and give it about two seconds, the Raw file & Jpg are matching in ACR. They just aren't matching in Bridge. Do you still want a screenshot? Sorry! It wasn't making sense to me so I tried again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ok, good. In that case, I think we need to go to the (almost) nuclear option. You'll need to reset Bridge's preferences. http://planetphotoshop.com/resetting-bridges-preferences.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Simmons Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Sorry, it took me forever to get that option to pop up. I clicked to reset Bridge's preferences and looked at the session. They still don't match! It still has my workspace saved though. Did I do it correctly? I assumed that was going to be wiped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Simmons Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes I got that box and clicked the top one. Should I have clicked all three or was that enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 No, you did right. Although maybe we should have purged the entire cache too I can't figure out why you think it would have wiped out your workspace, even though you didn't check that box?

I didn't necessarily think that. I just assumed by doing a factory reset it would have wiped everything and was worried I didn't do something right. So should I go ahead and just purge the entire cache then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yeah, I fear so. Just to check - do you only have one screen? Not a dual-screen setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Simmons Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes only one screen, although I've wanted dual monitors. Maybe one day. I purged the entire cache and they still don't match ?. I deleted the jpg files I had made previously and resaved the raw file just to be sure but the raw file and the new jpg still are not matching.

Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Ok, let's forget about the jpegs for now. (We'll come back to them later, because they're important, but not in the way you think). If we boil this problem down to its bones, it's that raw files don't match between Bridge and ACR, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Simmons Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes basically. I see the raw files in Bridge. I click to open them in ACR. When they first show in ACR they look as I see them in Bridge but I see the yellow exclamation point triangle in the right corner of the image so I assume it's still loading. About 2 seconds later, the triangle disappears, the histogram shifts to the black, and my image darkens. At this point the raw file matches my jpg's.
