Bridge

After having trouble copying files from an iPad to my computer, I changed the setting in the iPad Photos to "Keep Originals". That allowed me to successfully copy files from the iPad, but now when I use Bridge to try and view the thumbnails and preview the videos, it does not work on the files I just copied. I can see the thumbnails and preview other videos that came from my iPad before the setting change, but none of the ones after. Note, I can open and play the videos in Windows Media Player without any problem. CC Bridge version 10.0.0.124 Note I have done this as suggested in another post, but it has not fixed the issue:Edit > Preferences > "File Type Associations" and I went to .mov and .mp4 and set it to Premiere Pro by hitting "Browse" and selecting the app icon. Thanks for any advice.

Adobe Bridge 2025 (15.1.1.729) on my MacBook M1 Pro running Sequoia 15.5.  When I preview a selected thumbnail by hitting the space bar, Bridge displays a full-screen image and a notification that it is generating a 100% High Quality Image. However, the image is not 100% pixel for pixel and appears blurry. I can force Bridge to generate the preview with this workaround:1. Click the preview to zoom out to "fit in window" view.2. Click again to 100% zoom in.After a second, I get the real pixel preview. So I know Bridge can do it, but this method of clicking in and out costs so much time with multiple images. Note: once the rendering of the image is complete, the preview looks good from there. This only happens to new images. I've tried every variety of preference settings for cache and cache management. Is there a fix other than reverting Bridge 2025 for this? Script support is also gone from Bridge 2025, so I can't use a script to force the preview generation. If I h

I opened Bridge today and it had automatically updated to 2024. When it asked me to imprort previous settings, I said yes, but my keywords did not import. Are my keywords totally gone because of the automatic update? Why did they not import over when I said yes? 

I add metadata to raw files in Bridge (version 15.1.1.729), and then export them to jpeg. The problem is that if I make a change to the description metadata item in the jpeg file, using Bridge, other applications (including Preview on MacOS) still show the original description. To get it right I have to make the change on the raw files, delete the jpeg files, and then re-export them. This adds significant time to my workflow.   Using the Jimpl.com metadata viewer I can see that the old description remains in the legacy IIM Caption-Abstract field, while the new one shows up in XMP description. The IPTC doc says that these two map to each other.   The attached jpeg shows the edited description (T. Wicklund #22) in XMP description and the original description (Tim Wicklund #22) in IIM Caption-Abstract. I need to make sure the original description is removed and won't show up again.   Since I cannot alter what is in Caption-Abstract (except by deleting and re-

Since version 15.1.1.729 I cannot dowlload files using Bridge. My memory card does not show up at all under the "get photos from camera". Win10 file explorer does, however see the card and files on it. Is there a fix to this? Thanks, Ed 

I have Bridge 2024.  I have several questions about thumbnails and previews.  The Adobe documentation I have found is vague.  Questions:  1) What specifically is the difference between a thumbnail and a preview?  2) When and where are they used, and how?  3)  When are they generated, and where are they stored?  4) Is there a way to tell Bridge to keep thumbnails FOREVER [I don't care about disk space.]  My problem is going to a folder with many -large- images, having generated the thumbnails at one time in the past, and finding myself sitting for a -long- time while Bridge slowly regenerates and displays the thumbnails.  This makes revisiting older image folders very tedious. 

the panel disappeared.  I was able to get a panel back by including preview, but all the info, data, keywords I can't find to reappear there.

Is there a panel or setting that will show a file's physical path location when clicked on.I've examined all of the panels and have checked settings.Scenario: While viewing hundreds of files (show items from subfolders), when I click on a file obviously there is a ton of info about the selected file. But I would like to know exactly (the path) to where that file is located. IS there a setting or particular panel, workspace or view that would show this?

I try to eject the hard drive from Bridge and nothing happens.I have to close Bridge entirely to be able to eject the hard drive from finder once Bridge has been open and browsed said hard drive.I've been searching the forums for a similar problem/solution, but haven't found anything.Can anyone point me towards a solution to this? I really like using Bridge over finder, but this but drives me up the wall.

Anytime I change or add metadata to an image in a folder all the images in the folder are duplicated.  If I do it again they are triplicated.  I can clean the folder up by jumping to another folder then back to the original.  Never happened before in the 20 years I've been using Bridge.  Any help is appreciated.Bridge 15.1.1.729Imac Ventura 13.7.7 

Super specific question.. I am wondering if there is a way to notify computers on a local network when a label or keyword is added to a file. for example, we use Bridge to view and moniter InDesign pages for a newspaper, and currently we are wondering how we can improve the time between certain stages of each page, each page of the paper is its own InDesign file and each department (Ads, Journos, Designers) use bridge to access and view the pages, what usually happens is the journos will open a page, place any storys and photos on to the page, get out, us designers will see that, jump in and layout the page with place holder headings and anything else needed, then the journos will jump back into the page, write any headings and captions needed, then it gets printed for proofing and plating up. we are wanting to know, can we have the journolists jump out of the page, then mark it with "Ready to Layout" and us production people get a windows notification saying something l

Select any image (jpg, nef, tiff) > View > Full screen preview > right arrow key for next image. On changing slowly to view the next image and viewing it for 5 sec or more, the image is displays properly. On changing quickly, or very quickly, through the next 3-5 images, then stopping to view an image, the viewed image does not display properly; its brightness flickers and someimes its size flickers. Must restart Bridge to fix this. Tried purging the cache and relocating the cache, but neither solved the problem. Bridge 13.0.0.562.

Hi all! I wanted to share a script I've been working on - Text Substitutions! Inspired by PhotoMechanic's Code Replacements feature, this lets you add substitution [[targets]] to your metadata, and then have them replaced by any kind of text! About 50 substitutions are built in - letting you quickly swap in other metadata fields like the creation time, credit line, and location - and you can also create your own substitutions. You can find the script on Adobe Exchange for $5/month, or for free in my bridge-scripts github repo (the two versions are identical). Detailed information about how to use the program and its various features can be found on the wiki. This is still in development and it's based on my workflow, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them out!

I am running Bridge 15.1.1 on Windows 11. My problem is that Bridge does not show preview thumbnails for google pixel 8 pro mp4 video files. It works in Lightroom as well as Windows file explorer (after installing hevc codec).

Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this pretty please thanks 

I have Adobe Bridge 2025 loaded on my laptop.  It allows me to download and batch rename files.  I also have Elements 2025 loaded on my machine.  From Bridge 2025, I cannot trigger access to Camera Raw - I receive an error message of  "Camera Raw Editing is not enabled".    If I right click on an image and try to open in Camera Raw I receive a message that "camera raw requires a qualifying product". I have older versions of Bridge and Photoshop and with the older Bridge I can get an older version of  Camera Raw to work BUT - the camera raw file types are limited to older camera versions from years ago. I now have Bridge 2025 and Elements 2025 since I wanted to use Camera Raw on current camera raw files.  I like Camera Raw's simple UI.     From time to time I can get Bridge 2025 to open camera raw for a .CR3 file by double clicking but not consistently and not more than one image at a time.  I can eget camera raw from

The Full Screen Preview Key Command - Space - does not work on video files. Previews on videos can be initialized manually from the video, or through the key command if any other file type is selected first. Space to Full Screen Preview is a critical QOL feature for any digital media artist! Let's get this working! This mistep has gone on for far too long, and underserves the often under appreciated Bridge. Thank you! OS: Win10

OS and App icons render aliased (jagged) in Bridge (15.1.1.729) on Win10.

The latest version of Bridge is displaying video file thumbnails with a heavy blue cast. This is after a clean install for a brand new  Mac Studio M4 Max . The issue manifests for all video formats from multiple camera systems. This phenomenon has been mentioned by other users. Adobe please devote some attention to a fix. Previous versions of Bridge were free of this problem.OS Sequoia 15.6Bridge 2025
