Bridge

Products: Photoshop 27.8.0, Bridge 16.0.5, Adobe Camera Raw 18.4.1.2647Hardware: Mac Mini M4 Pro with 24 GB, Apple Studio Display XDROS: macOS “Tahoe” 26.5.2Symptoms: Bridge deletes the sidecar (.xmp) file associated with a raw file, when a another file (with similar name, but different type) is deleted.Steps to reproduce:1) Double-click a thumbnail icon in Bridge to open a raw file (example: myFile.nef) in ACR.2) Make a simple edit with ACR, for example: changing exposure or contrast.3) Click "Done" to save the change and close the ACR window. Bridge should now show a small graphic superimposed on the thumbnail icon, to indicate that a sidecar file (myFile.xmp) has been created. In Finder, you should see the sidecar file in the same folder as the raw file.4) Use Bridge to re-open the same raw file in ACR.5) Click the "Convert and Save" icon (upper right of ACR window) to bring up the "Save Options" dialog.6) Select a different format (jpg, avif, etc.) to create a new file from the con

Ok Adobe, it's been years now, and the one blindingly obvious data point that any and every person needs to know about a video clip is still lacking in Bridge: "How long is this clip?" I don't need to know who the Referring Physician was. The Intellectual Genre of a clip is irrelevant to me. I'm sure the Audio Engineer did a great job, but I don't need to know their name. (those are all actual metadata points). I need to know how long the clip is. Stop whatever you're doing, and do this. Please. Think of the children.

Bridge will usually generate previews with the wrong size when "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" has been enabled (checked). I would guess that this bug has been present for a while. The setting can be found here: Preferences -> Advanced -> Generate Monitor-Size Previews On my system (see below), I have a monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. When "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is not checked, Bridge generates preview files with a pixel width of 2048 pixels in this cache folder (2048 seems to be the default size):    C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge\Cache\v36\1024\... Then, when checking "Generate Monitor-Size Previews", I see preview files with a width of 2560 pixels for new files, which may be the expected width (but see note below *). However, with "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" still checked, I exit Bridge, then starts Bridge again, then I double check that "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is still set in Preferences

M1 Macbook Pro. Having screen flickering for 50% of raw images. Was happening on 14, 15 and now 16 version of bridge. This is making me furious! Have 3tb of photography to work through. This is one of the most basic key functions of being able to view images.Aside from not correctly showing 100% previews which has also been for years. The flickering (as if repeated reloading and switching color profiles) when space bar viewing images is just shocking. There are posts on this going back to 2020.I've done restarting. Fresh installs. Clearing caches. Turning off generating, turning off keeping color profiles, tried generating previews for entire folders. There is not any combination that works to stop this happening.This was happening on Sonoma and is still there in Tahoe.

I am purchasing Adobe Photoshop Elements 2026, 3 year version without CC.   I used to have bridge, but need to update it in order to use it.   I would like just free bridge to work without having to pay for a subscription or having to go thru CC.   I only use it to manage my photo files and access.   It use to be the best at this.   It use to be free.   So can I still get bridge free without having to go thru CC? 

how do we get the file names to show on these thumbnails page? 

I’m posting here out of frustration. I just purchased a new $1500 Microsoft Surface with the Snapdragon processor, and Adobe Bridge will not run properly on it.I’ve used Bridge since version 1, and I pay over $700 per year for my Creative Cloud license. On top of Bridge not working, several other CC apps still don’t run on Windows ARM, which makes the situation even worse.At this level of investment, core Adobe applications should be fully compatible with modern Windows ARM devices. This is a major issue for anyone relying on Adobe tools in a professional workflow. Please address this — it’s critical.

I hate Bridge's behavior since the last updates. When I open Bridge, it doesn't remember the folder I'm working in; it alternates between the current folder and the previous folder each time I open it! It's annoying!

操作系统：Windows11 24H2软件版本：Adobe Bridge 15.0.4.534HEIC照片名字或者存放目录带有中文名称，BR中就无法进行预览。

In Bridge 15 HEIC files are not displayed (no thumbnail, no preview, no full screen picture), if the name of the folder includes special German characters (ö, ü, ä) - tested with "ö".  With usual folder names HEIC files are displayed correctly. The bug is still in version 15.03.525 under up-to-date Windows 11 24H2. Please forward this bug to the development department. The workaround to rename the folder names is not a useful solution. Some weeks ago I had a chat with the hotline, but the ticket has been closed as solved at the same day. Seems that they did not understand the problem correctly.

i cant label the photos exported by Magimir (.jpg) and i cant drag&drop from Filezilla to Bridge. Pls label thumnail pts on .psd to prevent confuse .jpg and .psd on the same photos

When I open a folder in bridge, thumbnails and previews are generated of the photos in the folder. If I open another folder and then open the previous folder again, the thumbnails and previews are generated again. Also if I close bridge and then start it again, the thumbnails and previews of every folder I open, are generated again.In this way bridge works very slowly and is not workable at all.How can I improve this?

Anybody else miss this?We have "Light," "Dark," and "Chunky Dark" but there's no "Medium" anymore! I definitely miss this. Adobe please answer my call!    

Hi updated to latest version and got this message on opening "“Adobe Bridge 2025” is damaged and can’t be opened."" Help anyone?

Summary: Drag-drop a new folder of images to Bridge and about 30 images in it starts making previews on demand.Steps:It is common for Photographers to quickly divide photos of a shoot into topics. Quick glance at Thumbnails (Windows or Bridge) and move them into folders. Folders contain 100 or more photos When done going through a folder of photos, rating the good ones, Photographer drags the next folder to the Bridge Preview Panel to start rating the next topic. About 30 photos into rating the photos Bridge starts creating Previews one at a time. On demand. This is very annoying. Theory: A Thread making the previews has suddenly died. HIGHLY REPEATABLE. For years. It can happen the first time a new folder is drag-dropped to Bridge. It can happen the 3rd time the next folder is drag-dropped.  IT WILL HAPPEN. My experience: DAILY. Every single day I reach this time consuming problem.Workaround: Restart Bridge. Sometime repeatedly on days when there are a dozen of topics to cull or rate

Bridge refused to install but I want to ask further questions: First, here’s the image of the error message:  This is the detailed bridge system requirements: https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/desktop/get-started/technical-requirements.html Second, Windows 11 is garbage. Third, I have a 10th Generation Intel processor HP Zbook Fury Mobile Workstation and it supports AVX2 under “instruction set extensions” https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/201897/intel-core-i710850h-processor-12m-cache-up-to-5-10-ghz/specifications.html  Finally, Microsoft has extended support for another year for Windows 10.  Why are you really doing this?   

I need to call this out because it’s unacceptable. I just bought a brand‑new $1500 Surface (Snapdragon) and Adobe Bridge doesn’t work on it.I’ve used Bridge since V1, and I pay over $700 a year for Creative Cloud. Yet multiple CC apps still don’t run on Windows ARM. How is this still the case in 2026?Professionals depend on these tools every day. This needs to be fixed.

I just tried to install Bridge on my new Surface Pro 11, which uses a Snapdragon ARM processor. While Photoshop works, Bridge would not install as the error message said a version of Bridge is not available for this processor. Does anyone know if Adobe plans to deliver a version of Bridge that works with the Snapdragon processor?  Thanks

Mac mini m2 pro os Macos Tahoe problem is ever time try open Bridge not openI do update new version still  same problem
