I've been using Bridge and Camera Raw to process my NEF files. It has been unbeliveably fast and efficient. All of a sudden, when I make an exposure change or other adjustment, the hourglass shows up and there is a delay in the change taking effect. I've purged the cache, but it is still very slow.

Here's my workflow:
open NEF folder in The Bridge
ctrl R to load in Camera Raw
Click on each image to adjust. For example, I could grap the exposure slider with my mouse and move it back an forth to adjust the exposure. Now when I grab the slider the hourglass comes up before the slider is able to move.


What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

Have you tried trashing Bridge preferences?
And- Adobe released a Bridge update (for Windows?) just a few days ago. Good luck. Let us know.

First off mine runs at a snails pace all the time! but as your was running ok, I'd suspect something on the pc maybe slowing it down, try cleaning temp files etc, they can really slow up your system. Wayne

Wayne,
I cleaned up everything that I know of and ran a defrag

cbadland,

Can you give me a bit more info on trashing the preferences? I checked for updates, and it said there were none.

Thanks!

Hold down Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) keys when launching program to reset prefs. (Same for Photoshop as well, might as well do both.)

And how much RAM do you have?

Below is Bridge for windows update page:

And ACR downloads:

Well, enough RAM.
In Photoshop (and other Adobe programs) if a problem crops up “all of a sudden” trashing prefs is a good shotgun approach to try to get everything back to normal.
