TOPIC: Bridge CS3 - How to remove?

Am trying to clear up space on my laptop and in doing so searched for a way to remove Bridge as this is one application that I don't use at all on that machine. However, Bridge doesn't appear at all in the Add/Remove programmes list (Windows XP2 Pro) which has thrown me somewhat. I then attempted to remove CS3 hoping that Bridge would appear in an options list which of course it doesn't :-( so had to back track from there as well. Has anyone got any suggestions please?

I don't think you can split Bridge from Photoshop CS3.

Get an external drive and move all non-system and non-program files to it.

You can't nor should you. If you're that desperate for space I suggest
you buy a new harddrive.

I just took a look at my CS4 installation. The Bridge executables directory takes up 144mb. Not that terrible really in this day and age.

If you happen to have either the "Goodies" or "Documentation" folders in Program Files>Adobe, you could consider backing up and deleting those. It might give you about that amount of space if you really need to free up every last megabyte.

Creativepart:
Click on start then help and support. Type in clear type in the search and hit enter. There you look for "make test easier to read using clear type". From there you can find what you need.

Windows font size can be found in Appearance Settings. Several options to choose from. Color and size is driven by what scheme you choose too.

The windows setting for fonts is set to standard. Cleartype was activated, but deactivating it didn't change anything.

All tracking/kerning options are grayed out still when any characters are selected.

OK, I found it.

It was a setting in PS Preferences. I'm not sure how it got turned on, but it did. The setting was in Preferences > Type and "Show Asian Text Options" was checked. I decided to uncheck it only because I don't use Asian text and I didn't make that setting.

But unchecking that option fixed the problem.

So, put that one down as an unexplained oddity.

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it. Even though the answer didn't come from the suggestions, it was good of you both to jump in and try to help.

File this one as solved and remember that "Asian Text Options" disables tracking and kerning options -- at least in US English versions of CS3 Photoshop.

Can you post a section of the image that illustrates the problem.

It does sound from your description that it's a simple color correction where you just need to set the white point using Curves. But it could be more complicated...

Kelli: Just use the eyedropper tool in the curves palette and set the grey area as the white point, should correct all the colours.

Hi all. I just bought a second Sata2 drive to use as my scratch disk for CS3. Someone told me in another thread I need to partition this drive so that one partion is for the scratch disk and one is for the storage ofthe pic I will be working with. This is a 750 GB 7200rpm Sata2 Samsung drive. Does anyone have an idea how much/big each partition should be? Thanks in advance!

BTW, my primary HD is the exact same SATA2 drive...

Partitioning will do nada for performance.
Partition only if you want to for whatever organizational, stability,
security reasons float your boat.

I should probably add that I use two computers. One is a crumby laptop that I use for the internet, which I am using now, and the other is the computer that I described in my first post, which is for work. My work computer is never connected to the internet unless it needs to be to install something. So, I don't have any AV or firewall to slow things down. The only programs I have installed that run in the background are the "ATI Catalyst Control Center," for my video card, and the "Emu Patch Mix DSP Services," for my sound card. They both use minimal memory.

I have two drives:

Western Digital 150 GB with 120 GB still free: This drive has all of my applications installed on it, including Windows XP SP2.

Seagate 300 GB with 120 GB still free: This drive is strictly for storage. There are no programs installed on it.

Thanks for responding!

Do you have your scratch disk pointing to the second drive?

This is far from insurmountable.

Does anyone have a Photoshop 4.0 PSD with a thumbnail they'd be willing to share with me, or perhaps know of where I might find one?

If you can provide one of these, post a link here or contact customer-service at ardfry.com

Teaser screenshots to follow.

I recently moved from CS2 to CS4 and here's another basic task I can't do. I could say lots of negative things, instead, just the basics. I have a PSD file with a background layer in one color and a text layer with text in another color. All I want to do is create a GIF which uses the background color for transparency but no matter what I try I only get the background color. This is really discouraging.
