Bridge

I am writing to express my frustration regarding the unresponsiveness of Adobe Bridge 2023 on macOS Ventura.Whenever I try to launch Adobe Bridge, the software simply doesn't respond. It does not crash outright, but it remains unresponsive, making it impossible for me to use the application. This issue has persisted despite my attempts to troubleshoot, including reinstalling the software and verifying system compatibility.Anyone facing the same issues?

Long time user of Bridge, one Keyboard Shortcut that was removed several versions ago was the TAB key's invoking a maximized/full screen Thumbnails content panel (now, by default, TAB just goes to "next item"). I find the full-screen thumbnails view quite useful for navigating/selecting images in a folder but navigating the menu system to achieve it is quite cumbersome (selecting the Menu in the thumbnails Content Panel tab, Panel Group Settings, Maximize Panel Group... Then returning to original view requires reverse navigation of this menu and selecting "Restore Panel Group Size"). I'd love to return the TAB key to this toggle this function but have not figured out how to do so with this new Keyboard Shortcut creation option. Is this possible?

For the last month or so, even with the updates to Bridge just a few days ago, I am still getting two of every photo showing up when I attempt to download from my camera into bridge.  It's frustrating to try to go in and check and uncheck boxes when I have hundreds of photos at a time that I'm trying to download after a wedding or event.  HELP!  The current version is Bridge 14.0.0

I've been a pro retoucher for many years -using Photoshop/Bridge combo.I have preferred using Bridge/Camera Raw to organize & process files.Some associates prefer Lightroom, which I have been told shares internal engines with Bridge.I may soon receive some raw files that have been partially processed in LR -with LR Presets. Will those presets remain with the Raw files if I open them via Bridge, or will I need LR?I actually have Prefs set with Photoshop as the Host for Camera Raw -if that is a factor.(using latest versions of Photoshop/Bridge, and I have LR if needed) Thank you

I am using Bridge workflow to resize a batch of images. I have entered all the settings in the right hand panel, and SAVED. But when I run the workflow it saves the images (in the new folder as specified) but does not reduce the file size. I am wanting to reduce the file size significantly so I have the SCALE IMAGE setting at 20%I use tbhis at home on my Mac and it seems to work ok.  Not sure what I am doing wrong at my office on a PC

Hi, I have updated Bridge to the 2024 Version, Mac OS Ventura, however any Smart Collections I had do not work now. I have tried setting them up again, but it does not work. I am trying to find pdfs for each customer so I can refer to each job. This worked fine before the update. I have reset prefs/cache but this does not work.  Thanks

hi, I cant find where thy put the image processor in the new bridge.normaly is under tools- photoshop. can someone help? many thansk.pernille

This was an answer in a different post that I wrote but it needs its own thread, so hopefully Adobe progranmmers will fix this. I just found a WEIRD solution for the insanely high CPU when Bridge 2023 just sits there unused... it works and not sure why. If I start up on Bridge in the Essentals view, the CPU hits around 45-50% and temps go to 85-90C on my MSI M16 Content Creator laptop (Win 11 Pro, 12th gen proc). I've attached an image showing this. SO, at the bottom of the Bridge window, grab the slider that changes the view percentage, and drag it all the way left, so your thumbnails are super tiny. Your CPU should drop to 0.2% or so. Seriously. Then for me, I dragged the slider back up to about 40% which works for me size-wise, and it's holding steady quite nicely... Bridge is sitting there at less than 1%. I've left it running while I work in Photoshop on other stuff, and Bridge is quiet as a mouse. Hopefully this bug can be addressed and fixed quickly. If someone co

See screenshot.  The Filter area says there are 66  2-star files.  The count at the bottom of the screen says there are 132 items, which is correct.  Same for all of the other star counts in the Filter area - they are all wrong.

 Normaly while in Bridge I double click an image and it opens in camera Raw as it should. I edit it in camera raw and when I go to open it in PS by clicking the "open" button bottom right nothing happens. It just closes down and I'm back in Bridge without my edits being saved, Very frustrating.I just noticed that if while in Bridge, instead of double clicking an image to open in RAW as I normally do, if I right click on the image and select open in PS 2024, it opens in Camera Raw and then will open in PS when I click the "open" button at the bottom right. It's a workaround, but an annoying one to say the least. BTW, I'm running the most current versions of Bridge, ACR and PS.Thanks 

I used camera raw through adobe bridge to edit one of my images. Once I was finished with my edits, I saved it as a Tiff file. Then, I went back to edit it some more and save a second version of the image– also as a Tiff file. What I didn't realize was that when I saved this second version, it also changed the first version Tiff I exported. I thought once I saved a particular version as a Tiff it was untouchable and finshed the same way a png or jpeg would be, but I seem to have been wrong about that. Can anyone explain why this happened? Also, is there a way to get the first version with the initial edits back while still keeping the second version in tact?

Hi, my workflow in Bridge is to simply hit spacebar then go through all of my photos either deleting them or rating them, but for any HEIC files from my phone the quality is really low and they look really blurry. I've tried going Preferences -> Advanced and making sure 'Generate monitor-size previews' is checked and I've purged the cache but they're still the same as before. I do have the Windows 10 HEIC codecs installed and they open fine in Windows 10 Photos. Any suggestions please?

When reviewing images in Bridge, I use the right arrow key to advance to the next image.  I have noticed that Bridge will, on occasion (frequently but not every time), advance two images instead of moving to the next image in numerical order.  In more lay terms, the images should advance 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 but will often advance 1,2, 4, 5, 7, 9 etc. Does anyone know of a fix for this behavior? Thanks 

Adobe, the taker of my money and guardians of updates.Please, listen. V14 does nothing in the very import area of navigating, scrolling and culling of images on PC. NOTHING have happened since the release of v13.  Can you please contact me so the clever peaople at Adobe can connect to me and se the problem for themself? I really wnat to update, but it's impossible with the unpresedented slow performance. Please look at the videos. As you can see me scrolling it's really and incredible difference in performance between 12 and 13-14. This is V12This is 14

How do you unzip photoshop files in Bridge 2024?

 MAC M1 VENTURA  j'ai fait un reset et ça marche plus plus de label ou étoile, j'ai corrigé ça dans le préférence systeme mais le message continue a revenir a chaque ouverture de l'application ? que faire

I attempted to drag files from Box Drive v 2.35.95 (Mac Finder view) into Bridge v14.00.102 and they were immediately removed from Box. What is going on here? This looks to be a known issue. Help me understand why this ever was an issue and why it hasn't been addressed? 

I've had this issue with bridge for awhile. Updating to the newest version hasn't fixed it. If I go to my desktop it will show the pcitures folder multiple times, they disappear with a refresh. If I leave it open they will start to multiply. They are just shown multiple times not actually duplicates. Any way to fix this from happening? 

Hi guys! I selected som images to create an HDR file with Bridge and I got a window explaining me about an elaboration of the program. At the end of the process I got all the PSD with the HDR image. The original RAW have been saved by the process as something like they are together in a collection. How to remove them from the collection? (I want to label them but when I do that I can select just the first picture of the collection and id I want to select the one behind I have to click perfectly on the edge of the collection).I just got to open the collection and it appears like the photo uploaded, but I don't know how I did and how to go back to the closed view

Since updating to bridge 2024 when upload photos via file- get photos from camera when the file upload completes they folder created/images imported open in a secondary window. Why is this happening now and is there a way to stop it?

Bridge doesn't preview thumbnails video from panasonic S5 2.I have checked all settings mutiple times in Bridge and in VLC media player to make sure it should preview the thumbnails. It does preview video's from my Nikon z6 2.Does anyone know how to fix this?

En las últimas versiones ha desaparecido un método abreviado de teclado muy práctico: copiar ajustes de imagen (comando-option-copiar) y pegarlos (comando-option-pegar). Lo que permitía desarrollar ajustes de camara raw de una imagen a otra o a un grupo de imágenes. Ahora sólo se puede hacer a través del menú contextual, lo que es mucho más largo y tedioso. No parce que se pueda editar los métodos abreviados de teclado como se puede hacer en Photoshop.¿Alguna idea?

Year 2010 Bridge had a function to save the cache to folders.  Why has it been removed in the 2013 version? Feature request:  bring back the function to save the cache to folders.  This is better for file saving of individual folders (and their subfolders) rather than having to have one whopper sized Bridge Cache file.
