Bridge

There is a new issue with Bridge 2023. I cannot continue working while moving files in Bridge, as the Moving Files window prevents me from being able to do anything else in bridge while the move operation is in progress. If this is an hour long moving process...this is a big problem. Please fix this. Video attached.

Images in Bridge Beta 13.0.4.741 are inconsistent with Adobe Camera Raw. See attached screenshot. Highly saturated colors appear out of gamut in Bridge (on right) but are properly saturated in ACR (on left). The result of which is I go back to edit images because the colors are poor, only to find that they are OK in ACR.This always wasn't the case with previous versions of Bridge.

Just get it off or make it an option on the visuals. Incredible disruptive.   [abuse removed by moderator] 

There is an issue with Bridge 2023 that didn't exist with Bridge 2022. To replicate: 1) Filter images by "no keywords"2) Apply keywords to more images than fit within the Content window3) Note that Preview and Content window doesn't "snap to" the currently selected image. Bridge 2022 would do this fine. Bridge 2023 does not. I've attached a video for Bridge 2022 (how it *should* behave) and video showing the problem with 2023. Note that the Content window doesn't "focus" on the image that's selected.

I cant get the find function in Bridge2022 (ver 12.0.1.246) to work. The pull down menues are locked so building criteria for searching is not available.My computer runs Windows 11 (pro) with 32 GB ram. I was in contact with Adobe agent and he opened a remote session but he could not find anything./Bertil

Just started with Bridge (v 13.03.693 with win10). Some learning curve but I enjoy the fast file handling. It seems though that I have to activate in "view" "show hidden files" to all see headers to metadata as shown from screenshots. It is annoying too see the xml-file for every picture in the file folder. Info about lens type, focal length,  camera model and so forth are independent from XML-sidecar files, right? Are there any solutions?Greetings!Mikael   

HiI am using the latest version of Adboe Illustrator and Bridge.I am trying to find out how to make the preview thumbnail bigger so I can view it (not zoom in)Attached is a screenshot of what I am trying to achieve. The old 2018 version did this very nicely, but my recent updgrade has been making me pull my thinning hair out. Any adeas?Nick 

Hallo,meine Fotos lassen sich im Fotodownloader nicht in das Format DNG konvertieren. Das DNG-Kästchen ist nicht anwählbar und grau hinterlegt. Vielleicht kennt jemand die Lösung. Vielen Dank.

Recently added subfolders aren't reflected in Bridge Beta until the parent folder is selected. This can be a problem when going back and forth between folders with a large number of images that have to "repopulate" when navigating. Attached is a video of the behavior.To recreate:1) Open Bridge2) Create a subfolder inside a folder that currently doesn't have a subfolder3) Note that there isn't an arrow to "expand" the parent folder, as the subfolder is not "detected"4) Select the parent folder.5) Note how an arrow appears once the folder is selected.

I open the folder and it says Generating Previews. But it takes several minutes and sometimes doesnt even complete if I leave the program to check it later - I have to keep moving the screen to prove to Bridge I really want to see my images.  Even when I am accessing a fast SSD. It happens in folders with thousands of images in RAW (I mean 40Gb in a folder). Am I not supposed to have a folder with thousands of images? Or it is just about Bridge or computer's settings?

I just updated to a fresh clean install of Windows 11 and installed the latest Adobe CC apps.  The OS is set to Dark.  Bridge and all Adobe apps are set to Dark.  For some reason Bridge maintains a white title bar (see attached screen capture) and it's super distracting and not working as it should.  Note that this is the only app and only window that behaves like this.  Every other application window and explorer window is dark as it should be.  Anyone else experiencing this?  Does anyone have  a fix for this?  Note that the white title bar is persistent regardless of whether Bridge is active or inactive.  

Is there any way to force Bridge to display the first frame of video clips in their thumbnails and in the preview window prior to playing the clip? I have a slate up in the very first frame of every clip, and it stays there for the first 2-3 seconds. However, Bridge always chooses to pick a frame later in the clip to display as the thumbnail and static frame in the preview window when you select a clip. So, I have to play each clip to see the slate information. I'd really like Bridge to just show the first frame of the clip, always. I don't see any way to adjust what Bridge does in these cases.

HiWhen I have .docx or .doc files in Adobe Bridge, they always open in WordPad instead of LibreOffice. I can't find the file type in the presets at all. So I can't change the assignment. Any ideas?Kind Regards, Oliver

This was a simple task with previous versions of Bridge but I cannot seem to do it with the current version. Thank you

My workflow has always been Bridge > Tag and sort > Quick edits in Camera Raw > Open as batches in Photoshop. For some reason when I click open, or any of the other open options (as a copy, as an object) nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and reset Camera Raw settings and ensured that the file association for my raw files is set to Photoshop. Has anyone else experienced this? Other notes: I'm on a pc, running Windows 11. All my Adobe programs are updated to the latest version as of 7/4/23.

Hi Please add this feature to the future version of Bridge: Double-click to fill the screen size with Windows taskbar and menus of Bridge are reachable and double-lick on images to go back to images folder. 

As per object. I find Adobe Bridge so good that I use it as my standard file explorer. When I'm not working with pictures I don't need to show columns like Keywords, rating and so on. It would be great to me to create a specific Workspace where I have just few columns in order to speed up the usability. At the moment I can't do that. Any help to get what I need.  Thanx.

Cannot change properties in the basic metadata fields.  No matter how many times I edit the metadata template, the copyright notice in the “basic” section remains permanent as 2018.  Bridge 13.0.3.693Using Macbook pro 13.3.1  

Unable using the preview panel to see any photo files or any files.  I have tried everything suggested on this board except to uninstall CCPS and reinstall. 

hoi als ik mijn fotos van de camera naar de foto downloader in bridge laad krijg ik de fotos dubbel

I used Topaz Photo AI to process 30 tifs using the standalone version.  I was then going to use my saved action that adds a watermark and copyright and make a jpg., and it stopped before saving and offered a PSD.  I tried to save instead as JPG and this was not a choice, only jpeg2000. I decided to use save as on the tiff before the actions, and zip file was highlighted, something I never use, and saved as LZW as I have always for decades.  But it made no difference, so I saved as the jpf.  This shows in Bridge but when I go to load for a site such as Bugguide, it shows an empty box, so is useless.  Saving with no compression and trying again doesn't work either, so what kind of tiff can this be that can't be saved as a jpg?Still waiting for topaz response.

Ability to choose more metadata / exif / tiff tags to display in bridge Using other software like online metadata2go, i can see that my Nikon camera records lots of extra data points in the metadata, about the camera status.Specifically just one called external_flash_status, however in adobe bridge we only have one setting EXIF Flash and it only shows 4 variables that don't actually reflect the correct flash settings in camera.  ?How can i add more information to display from the Camera Data exif panel or search meta options?My goal would be to filter images byexternal_flash_status = Flash Attached (flash did fire correctly)external_flash_status = Flash Not Attached (flash did not fire correctly) 

Why does Bridge ask me to manually delete the cache, when I have activated the option for automatic deletion of the cache? Consider that the banner appears at least once per session with Bridge. Sometimes even multiple times during the same afternoon. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.     

I'm using Bridge to add metadata to scanned photos. But the Edit Capture Time does not have time zone selection. Without it Bridge defaults to user's computer operating system's time zone. This then appears in the xmp, for example as <exif:DateTimeOriginal>1971-07-01T00:00+10:00</exif:DateTimeOriginal>. The problem is that is the wrong time zone for my scanned photos. In this instance I want +01:00, not +10:00.First issue is Bridge doesn't show the offset in the Date Time Original metadata field, so the user doesn't realise there's a problem. Then when I import the files with this incorrect time zone from Bridge into Apple Photos it sorts the date/time incorrectly.Apple Photos has time zone support for changing date & time, but I'd prefer to use Bridge to enter metadata. So my work-around for now is to change my computer's operating system time zone to match the one in the photos I need to alter, then return my OS time zone to my actual time zone when I finish

I'm having trouble entering some keywords. Sometimes both come in and sometimes only the currently added one. What am I doing wrong.Mackaktus
