Bridge

My Client spends hours typing in "Keywords" in bridge to camera ARW Raw files. The XMP files are sent with the Raws. I can see my clients Keywords in Bridge. I Export the Files from Capture One and they no longer appear in under the headline of "KeyWords". Yet if I do finder info, they are still there? I couldn't find anything on Capture One about this. I see them in there when I process the files. I had ADobe log into my machine for 2 hours today. Couldn't find a solution. I upgraded my MAc OX to 13.5 ( As PS Beta was asking me to for all the features ). I have litereally spent half a day on this.. Hoping for a solution. I can't see this issue being even posted on any of these forums. Please Help!! Will be muchly appreciated...

I feel like this deserves a topic thread. It might even be useful for Adobe to understand what an opportunity they are missing out on! Since Bridge was first introduced, on every single system, every OS, every GPU and CPU configuration i have had over the years, - it has always been terrible. Why?  It should be a replacement for windows explorer/finder. An advance file management system. Instead it is a space grabbing resource chugging nightmare. In the five minutes I have loaded up this forum, typed this message and will hit send - in that same five minutes adobe bridge has generated two thumbnails. If I do this within windows or finder, it takes less than 20 seconds to batch rename all my media. Please solve this riddle and make this tool worthwhile.

Hello, I've just update both Photoshop and Bridge to 2023, but I can't find Image Processor anymore.  Anyone knows where it is?Can't image process from Photoshop as it processes all images from the selected Folder!  I need to select only some files from the folder!Thank you,

haha I feel like i'm in the twilight zone posting about this... again.    Images filling the screen is a cornerstone for the viewing, presenting and rating experience, which is what this program is all about, no?  Currently fullscreen is a draining and distracting experience if you have size variations in your images and you want them to simply be 'full screen'.   People have been complaining about this for years & years along with the 200% incremental zoom limit which seems to be tied to this.  Scaling images at any percent is incredibly easy in code so there must be some other reason???  Can Adobe shed some light on why this basic, essential feature has been continually excluded?    Also theres a UI bug with the new Mac Laptops that have added the notch, which covers / blocks Bridge's overlay UI in Full screen mode.  

For example I am searching within one folder 2023Dogsthen the name of the dogUnfortunately it displays all the photos labelled 2023Does anyone have a solution?thankyou Shannon

Windows 11 23H2 (I9 CPU and Nvidia RTX A4500 GPU)Adobe Bridge 14.0.1.137 I have just noticed that playing a slideshow fails to work correctly (halts completely on the third image) in the following circumstances:The selected images are from a collection (smart or not)Images are selected by choosing a higher level folder and using View>Show Items from Subfolders This is not dependent upon the file type - tested with JPEG, DNG and TIFF nor the number of images.Slide duration, Caption, type of fill (Centred, Scaled to Fit, Scaled to Fill) Transition Options and Transition Speed do not seem to affect this issue for better or worse. Note that there is no problem with the slideshow displaying correctly when the images are from a single folder, regardless of the number of images in that folder or their type.

When I select all of the files I want to rename on my SSD, and open Batch Rename, the option "Rename in same folder" is grayed out. How do I enable it? I haven't had this issue before, but this is a new external SSD I transferred all of my files to. Thanks.

I use Bridge, Photoshop and Lightroom. Photoshop has A LOT of glitches, Lightroom is better but painfully slow, but Bridge is simply unusable - I am opening a folder with ONE SMALL JPEG file in Bridge and it takes literally forever - I mean like 10 minutes or more. Hey, developers! It takes TEN MINUTES to open a folder with one small file. WTF?

I use to be able to run this action set and save as _RT now when i type it in it changes doc name to NONE and keeps saying to put in a name what am I doing wrong here?  I've tired it on both 2024 and 2022 version. Im lost

I have read many posts on this forum about bridge not showing file extensions after a batch rename. posts like this:https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/bridge-is-still-removing-the-file-extension-when-performing-batch-rename/td-p/11212492I am experiencing a much worse issue with batch rename. I have tested this by duplicating a folder with images and after the batch rename comparing the 2 folders to see what has changed. This is what happened: 1. File names are not all renamed (some are always left and I have to do a 2nd rename process to get these right). This is a minor problem, though annoying.2. Bridge changes file extensions. Many of my dng files are now .HEIC or .JPG. I can change back to dng manually and it still has my edits also. So it doesnt seem to change the file content, just the extension.3. Some conversion is taking place. In the duplicate folder the smallest file was about 1MB large. But after batch rename I now have 300 , 400 KB files in the folder.

My issue:I saved an HDR file in jpeg after working on it in the latest Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge as of 2023, I then opened that jpeg on my Mac desktop but I didn't see the HDR edits, I also uploaded the image to Google Drive and don't see the HDR edits. I open that same HDR file in Bridge Camera Raw and I see the edited HDR settings. My conclusion is that it's Adobe Bridge Camera Raw can view the HDR settings but those settings can't be viewed otherwise. I can't find a way to capture the image how Adobe Camera Raw previews the file. ChatGPT response below but I still have the same issue:Based on your description, it seems that the HDR edits you are making in Adobe Camera Raw within Bridge are not being correctly reflected when the file is saved as a JPEG and then viewed outside Adobe software. This issue can arise due to several factors:Non-Destructive Editing in Adobe Camera Raw: Adobe Camera Raw performs non-destructive editing, meaning the changes you make are not directly app

Looking for a way to duplicate the same content tab (the same location path) so I would have two identical content tabs of the same path.

Dear all,I selected a group of photos under Bridge 2024 and tried to assign a common keyword to all of them.  However, the keyword was only assigned to the first photo but not the rest, and when I closed the Bridge and reopened it, the assigned keyword just disappeared.  I tried purging the cache but it didn't help.  What can I do?  Thank you.

The latest version of Bridge is has become very slow.What settings should I have or use to make it as fast as possible.Example of what is going slow:I have a folder with 1000 images. 200 are labeled.I want to select all images with a label.After checking the red label left in the filterbox I have to wait sometimes more than 10 to 15 seconds before something happens.... It wasn't like that before....using windows 11 (before the last adobe updates everything was working fine) Help me, this has to change! Thanks!

Today keyword searching accidentally stopped working, I just tried update Adobe Bridge to latest version but still not working. What happened? It doesn't even try index files/folders...

I want to move 3 modified images to another spot within the same folder so they will beside each other to view them side by side and compare.  When I highlight all 3 images to move them, Bridge won't scroll the folder images up or down so I can move them.  The panel has that stupid blue box surrounding it so it is active but it won't scroll so I can drag the images. Why?  Bridge 2022 does it fine.  

I have saved settings for a contact sheet in Bridge 2023 and wanted the saved Contact Sheet Template to transfer over to Bridge 2024. Is there not an option to save the template and import into Bridge 2024.  Thank you!

We are using the most current version of Bridge on a Windows 10 laptop. We wait until Bridge shows that it is finished indexing before we start editing images. Our problem is that a lot of the time after we delete an image, Bridge jumps back to the first image in the folder.  This is very frustrating as we then have to scroll down to find where we left off.We are sorting by date created and have tried using both the delete button on the keyboard, as well as the delete function on the numerical keyboard--same results.  It doesn't happen every time we delete an image, but does happen more often than not.We have tried re-starting the computer, as well as purging the cache.Any help would be appreciated!

In my photo library I use DNG files (for all my RAWs), jpg and HEIC.For DNG files I know xmp is written into the file, no sidecar file needed. Works fine.For jpg I have also never seen any xmp sidecar being created so it seems to be written into the jpg also.Only for HEIC images, if let's say I add a keyword, then a xmp file is created automatically for that HEIC image in the same folder. Or I make some edit in Camera raw, xmp file is also created.Is that correct? Is there no way to save this info directly into the HEIC file? I would much prefer to not have hundreds of xmp files in my image folders.I did look at many posts on this forum and other websites but the info is conflicting when it comes to HEIC files. So I'd like to get some updated information on this. Thanks for any help.

I am very new to working with metadata. I have a microsoft excel file with the IPTC Core fields I need for each image file.(Creator, Headline, Description, Keywords, Title, Job Identifier, Credit Line, Source, Rights Usage Terms, Copyright Status and Copyright Notice)Is there a way to get the metadata into the files without having to copy from a cell into each metadata field individually?I am hoping some for sort of script, possibly... Also, if only ONE of these fields needed updating in all of the files (i.e. Rights Usage Terms) can that be done?I have Bridge 5.1 (and earlier versions CS3/CS4)

I've spent decades ensuring every photo I took had keywords and other XMP data so I could find it again when I needed it.  I allowed Adobe Bridge to update to version 14.01.137 and now it's deleted ALL XMP data! Even the date created and modified has bogus dates in those fields.Anyone find a cure for this or am I recreating starting from scratch? Is there an alternate for Adaibe Bridge?

Hallo, Ich habe vor kurzem aus Firefly einige Bildwerke runtergeladen.Wo hinterlegt ihr in den Metadaten, die Prompts, mit der die Werke generiert wurden?Ich vermisse im IPTC Core explizite Eingabefelder dafür. Natürlich kann man diese Eingabe in die Beschreibung eingeben, aber ab und an sind die Prompt-Eingaben länger als die verfügbaren Zeichen in dem Feld.Schon mal danke für jegliche Rückmeldung.

I have an idea....an option to reduce number of displayed images or current images read to display mathematically. 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 etc. You could then have pages with the other photos ready to be displayed and not qued up all together. Get my point?If I use "Collections" to find all images with say "Beer" as a keyword, I get 3945 images under that term within the "Content" window. This slows down my computer considerably. Granted it's an 8 year old Windows workstation, but it has a Intel 3.5GHz Xeon, 32GB EEC RAM and a old NVIDIA Quadro K4200 graphics card...but it should be able to render those without turning into quicksand. If I use "Filter" to finetune with another keyword, say "Outdoors" I get 599 images and everything runs smooth as butter on a ward summers day.So If I can flip a switch to only que up 1/4 of those 3945 images, everything would be smoother. I don't NEED all those to be available immediately anyway.

Adobe Bridge freezes for 15 seconds. That happens with .mov files (with alpha channel). And when I preview (pressing play) the video is not seen, only the audio is played.

I recently recovered a large lot of files that had been inadvertently deleted. Most of them came back like this:What is it, and how do I convert it to JPG?  This is new to me. Please be gentle - I'm not a tech expert. Or point me in the right direction if this isn't the place to ask. Thank you!!Thanks for any help you can offer.
