I'm moving soon to Mountain Lion, what should I do? Iview is power PC.

Go to Expression media? is that for Mac? Is the interface similar? Does it recognize iview .ivc data files. other ideas? thanks

Kevs

When I have folder of CR2s, unfortunately every other image that comes up is a white page with text. Any way around this? It's so annoying.
Also strange if the .ivc file will not bubble up to the top even though I put a space in front of it.
I can convert to DNG to eliminate this annoyance, but strangely, with DNG, the previews are not crisp at 200% as the CR2S are, why is that? thanks.

Am I doing something wrong?
I title my folders with model names.
I put names, first, last, nothing works, no folders come up with Bridge search. help. thanks!

Currently, in Bridge, I can have one person star an image and one person label and image. Then I'm out of ideas.
What if I want to see the opinons of four people?
Problem is, of course, that the minute someone labels or stars an image it overwrites the previous label or star. So I'm out of idea on this. any help appreciated. thanks!

Hope someone can help:
1) In Bridge, always seems, I caches a folder of 3000 images. Then two weeks later I open this folder, and it's like Bridge has never seen it before. What is this about? thanks.
2) You have three up in preview window. Bridge put first one on left, next one to the right. No way for me to order how they look in the preview window? thanks.

3) Can someone help me get my head around what this means?

A warning comes up saying something about taking more disc space.
Disk space for what?
The file size is not going to increase, right?

thanks.

and what is the difference between choosing this and "always hi quality"

Lastly, what about the loupe? I had a G5 and it took 4-5 seconds to work. Just got new imac and for a week it was instant, but now it's back to four seconds. is this normal? thanks.

Thanks Dirk, I'll hold onto that info. If anyone has other tricks let me know

Dierk, don't over-analyzie this.  The pdfs are just for emailing a an email portfolio. So let me re-ask again:

LEt me ask. What would you make the settings at for the optimal sharp/ crisp look. I would love to see the screenshots and pass them along.
I can always compress later to my taste with PDF comperss app.

Roger, thanks, great info.

I'm just exasperated. My designer has created some pdf portfolios from In Design (which I don't own and have never used) . They are quite blurry and off color. I have taken the same images and run them in PHotoshop and Bridge 4 and the pdfs produced by PS and Bridge looks 10 times shaper and clearer.
Why? This gets complex becuase they are all formatted quite complexly for In Design, and it will take too much time to re-formatt them for Photoshop or Bridge. But she has no idea why they are not coming out sharp and nice with In Design. any ideas. It's not compression. She has been outputting with no compression from In Design and they still look subpar.

I think I did that, reset prefs. helps a lot

Go over  cache, have not dealt with that in years. What will it do for system?

Thanks John, I redid preference for Bridge and I'm ok. Still, it' has a problem with workspaces, remembering them.

I'm staying about from CS4 PS until I do big Hardware upgrade.

Today, I'm trying to force quit Bridge CS4 and it wont even force quit. I don't know what to do.
This is 4th edition of this sofware, and it's still the most unstable software from a major manufacuture for me.
Am I alone in this whine? thanks.

Scott, thanks, I'm on 'Always'

The delay is somtimes improved by scrolling up and down with the tool bar. But its' very annoying.

Could it be because I'm on an older G5 computer?

Maybe CS4 bridge requies  faster computer than CS3 Bridge

This delay never existed in CS3 or CS2
