Bridge

I use an external hard drive to hold high-res images and vector files used in client projects. Bridge usd to work well.  Lately, it seems to crash while loading thumbs. Any wisdom on best settings - cache or otherwise- so images load without crashing?Thanks very much!

I can't adjust the light gray color on the entire Bridge,I am used to working with that Light Gray interface and since BR 2023 only have Dark or Light colors, but can't adjust them to be consistent only Preview and Content are changed brightness, it looks quite annoying..black too dark and white color too lightI hope the BR team will bring back the Light Gray interface applied on the entire panel. Thank

n Bridge, I'm trying to get my display to show in rows and columns. When I enlarge the thumbnails to a certain size, the display automatically switches to one long line and I can't deal with that display.. I've never had this problem until recently, and it doesn't change even when I click on the grid display at the bottom of the Bridge window next to the sizing of the thubnails..

Hello I have a Mac Mini M2 Pro and when I press the space bar on an image, Bridge open it in preview, but that is BLINKing .... Normal view and a gray view ... Anybody has any idea about it?

I created a contact sheet using Adobe Bridge CC.  I added image files, set up the page template and save the resulting file as a pdf.   the resulting pdf had three pages of thumbnails.   I would like to go back and modify that contact sheet --add some additional images and remove/rearrange some existing ones.  Is there a way to do that using Bridge or must I recreate an entirely new contact sheet from scratch.  If I try to open the PDF in Bridge using the Output workspace, it puts the entire pds file into one cell on the contact sheet layout., which is not what I want.  I need each image to go back into an individual cell of the contact sheet and then be able to move/delete those images and insert others.

Reinstalling Bridge, after a clean reinstall of the operating system, I can't seem to get the Labels to show under the thumbnails. I went to Edit>Peferences>Labels and checked the boxes but the info doesn't show. On my other computer that works fine. Any suggestions?

HiI know I've done this in the past but cannot seem to work it out today.I have a series of images "_####_[layercompName].png".  I would like to remove the underscores and numbers.  The underscores removal is easy, but how do I remove the numbers (####) when they are different for each filename?  I would like the end result to be [layercompName].pngThe reason I have these filenames in the first place is that I have run the photoshop script "layer comps to files", and this adds a number sequence prefix.  I have tried to alter the script following various instructions I've found from trawling the internet (this one included How do you remove the number sequence when exporting layer comps to files? CS6. Windows 8.) but without any luck.  So now I'm resorting to batch renaming in Bridge.Thanks!

Someone mentioned that new window which was taken away in Bridge is back , but I cannot find it. thanks.

I mostly use Bridge to preview big tif/psd/psb files, nothing much else.  I have my preview settings maxed out for files sizes and it works fine most of the time.  Sometimes, a few of the files will never preview or stop loading a preview, clearing cache for selections doesn't work (sometimes it will trigger the preview to never load again).  I've tried making dupes, the duped file will act the same.  I've opened the files in PS, made a new file, copied the layers over, the new file will do the same thing.  I'm in a work/photo studio enviroment so these files are flowing through multiple computers before I touch them, but it won't be everything that's from the same shoot/other retoucher or something, it's just seems to happen randomly and it never comes back.I've been dealing with issue for years at this point, over multiple different computers and companies.  It just makes me want to smash my head into the wall sometimes as it's the only thing I really wa

When having two images side by side in review mode (ctrl+b), is it possible to get the magnifying glass to start at the excact same location on both images and have it's movement be identical? I recall in days of yore some Adobe software that did this, but can't for the life of me remember which or when..

Bridge Newbie here!I have several hundred hours of family videos captured over 3 decades, that have been professionally digitised (and therefore don't require much further editing to cut out problem areas, etc.) and are now stored all together in the Cloud in 3 main folders each containing over a dozen files. Most files contain 3 hours of video.What I am hoping to achieve is to create a bunch of key words - e.g. Country, year, activity, family members by name, etc. I will then watch each clip in the preview panel and as the video plays click on keyword(s) that are relevent to that portion of the clip. For example, if my son Peter is on the video from 14m 20s to 16m 5s, then I click 'Peter' on at the start of this segment, and click his name off at the end.My question is this, if I subsequently search for (say) "Peter" + "Italy" + "1997", will all the clips that meet these criteria be correctly filtered, and if I click any clip, will it start playing at the relevent point in the clip?Wh

Win 10...Updated Bridge to 14... In my previous version, I could Clear and Import my hierarchial keyword .txt file and it would bring in a nice keyword setup. But now, when I import that same file, nothing is even remotely correct...  and when I look at the .xml files it is using, one can see the difference... So, after Clear and Import... the .txt file that I've used for years in Bridge... if I go to user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2024 and open up the Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml file, this is what I see (beginning portion) Now here's what that same import of the .txt file imported, should look like... and has always looked like: (I rolled back my update... to Bridge 12... , 2022?) What the ___ is going on! If I look at the xml file in user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2023 I see the same deformed xml file but if I look at user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2022 the xml file is correct)Previous (pre-2023?) Bridge didn't butcher txt files like thi

Hello. In Bridge is it possible to independently change the Interface Appearance color themes (Set the Brightness of the Work Area) of the different work areas/panes? It seems the only option is to have the entire page either completely Black, 2 shades of Grey, or White. I find the lack of contrast makes quickly reading this window very difficult. (I have CC 2019 using Windows 7 Pro.) Thank you.

Hi, Good morning.I don't know about you, but I feel helpless that the Bridge search isn't working. I've tried with several criteria, searching external and internal disks, searching subfolders and nothing. What's the point of being able to put in Keywords if nothing works afterwards? Any solution for this? Thanks. 

all of a sudden today bridge wont open PSDs in photoshop. All of the image formats now say use explorer settings. Which is just marvelous because my explore settings are to open picture formats in bridge.Not only that, but photoshop isn't even available in the dropdown, meaning I have to manually navigate to photoshop.exe for all my image formats. And about that. Why not group all the sodding picture formats? There is free software that does this. Why am I so cranky? BEcause dear adobe  - this isn't what you'd expect of a billion dollar company, but mostly because its endemic to every bit of software you make, and multiply it by 5 apps and there isn't a week that goes by without trying to fix or workaround a bug like this.  

Bonjour à tous,Je visualise les disques durs connectés dans le panneau de gauche, mais pas leurs contenus. Y a-t-il une procédure pour faire apparaître ces contenus ?Merci pour votre aide,Daniel

I have a collection of about 600 images. How do I search within only that collection for a particular word in a title? I'd like to open the collection, and search for, for example, all files with "FMC" in the file name. Thanks, Phil

Updated to Sonoma (Macbook Air, M2) and folders no longer open when dragged to the Bridge doc icon except if Bridge is closed. In other words, it will do it once and open Bridge in the process but not again. I have to navigate through the "folder" window after that. What's up? Is there a fix in the works or one people know? JS

Hello, could anyone kindly help me, please? I use Adobe Bridge app, and lately I started having problems with the Photo Downloader app unasked opening, which is increasinly irritating. it pops up a few times while the Bridge is working. I haven't found any Settings on how to turn it off.How to disable or get rid of it (I am planning to keep using the Bridge itself though)?Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thank youAnna

Hi all.I scroll through images and very often I need to expand these stacks and automatically, when you do everything quickly, you need to think whether the photos are collected in a stack or not, since even with the expanded option, numbers are displayed on them, and the expand all option does not always work correctly.This functionality is very inconvenient for me. How to disable auto selection? for ever.

Hi All, recieved a strange error message while using bridge. see below. have no clue what it means or what I did wrong to get it. Any one have anexplanation that makes sence to me.? regards, Sandy 

I have thousands of images assigned to collections in Bridge. How do I back up all this work so I can restore it on another laptop? At some point I will get a new laptop and I don't want to have to recreate all this work.  Thank you! 

There appear to be two new issues introduced into the most recent version of Bridge 13.0.4.755 1. Scrolling in the non-content windows is extremely slow, and has been made slower since the last update. It is so slow that I need to click and hold the side slidebar in order to effectively move up and down within the window.2. In the content window, after changing a file name, the tab key doesn't move you to the next file; instead it skips the next file and moves you to the one thereafter.

I can't import any presets from Bridge CC 2023.There's a message:After effects error: Can't import file"XXXX.ffx": unsupported filetype or extension. ( 0::1 )How to fix it??Thanks.Eric R.

I had just powered up my PC (latest release of Windows 11), opened Bridge and started to open the file hierarchy when Windows had a catastrophic failure (blue screen) and shut down.  When it restarted and I tried to open Bridge, it failed (Bridge has sent the details to Adobe) and will not load up.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge, but to no avail, it still fails at the same place.Any advice on how to get Bridge working again would be gratefully received. Charlie
