Bridge

I am having a lot of troubles using Bridge. After computer ( Windows 10)  startup i can load Bridge via Photoshop once.....when i close down Bridge screen and try to start it again after a few minutes nothing happens. I allready tried previous versions and the latest updates for the latest version. Does not work. After starting up my pc again...i can load Bridge just once again , but only once. When is this going to be fixed...seems i am not the only one sick and tired of this problem. 

Buenos días, he actualizado Bridge hace dos días y desde entonces no consigo que abra. He desinstalado y vuelto a instalar pero siempre me sale el mismo error.   Tengo un iMac con procesador intel con MacOS Ventura. ¿Alguien sabe a qué se debe este error?, porque en la ayuda no encuentro nada ni que se le parezca siquiera.Gracias por adelantado.Un saludo. Óscar.

Photoshop updated and now XMP files are no longer hidden. I hate these. Please help. I've followed instructions listed here, but it's not working. My settings:

Hi!Where has Photoshop under the menu of Tools gone? I need to do some actions over several pictures.

I use Adobe Bridge to proof my photos and quick edit in camera raw and I've noticed since Tuesday, every time I'm doing my usual workflow my files keep disappearing completely from my hard drive that I work on. I don't delete them accidentally or anything but I just went through and made selects from a 600 photo gallery and I go to a different folder and go back to it and the photos are completely gone!!! It says files cannot be found. I go to my hard drive and they are gone from there too. Nothing in my trash can. I'm getting so frustrated because I've spent so much time going through these images already. Help!!!

I use Adobe Bridge to sync my colour profiles, using 'Europe Prepress 3' But I'd like to use sRGB instead of Adobe RGB 1998 Is this possible? I can't find a way to do it 

I'm working between Bridge and Lightroom. I cull photos in Bridge, make minor edits and give ratings to selects, and the edits get stored in XMP sidecar file. Next, I import them into Lighroom for further editing.  I finish them, give them ratings, and save the metadata to XMP.  I then load Bridge, and Bridge does not synchronize the edits.   How do I know?   There should only be 289 photos with a 1-star rating or highter.  I load into bridge and it shows 294 photos with ratings. Which 5 photos did not sync?  This is maddening! I've purged all cache in Bridge and it wont update. It still shows 294 photos. Which makes me think Lightroom isn't actually saving the metadata to XMP files for all the images.   PLEASE help. This is so frustrating.   What am I missing here?

Is it possible to download the installer files of Bridge 2022 and 2023 so i can install them when im ofline?

I am paying monthly for this monopolisitic program, that doesn't improve and gets worse.  I have been using Bridge to store data for all my shots since Photoshop 3.1, and Bridge is ruined.  It has been months since one can no longer have 2 Bridge Windows open, see thumbnails of more modern cameras such as the Nikon Z9.  Free programs such as Nikon Studio, Resolve, and Windows Media can play these videos, and Nikon Studio has the data, and now I can't even add metadata to any videos.  So I can't see them, I can't have a description, or keywords or any relevant data and have to keep going to other programs to see what each is, back and forth. How can it be legal to charge a subscription fee for something one is essentially wedded to, because of decades of use and storing and keeping track of data,  and then render it almost useless while promoting Lightroom which I don't like, never will.  I could see videos play and have data with CS6 and earlier.&nbsp

I use a Macintosh Apple M1 Pro chip with 32 GB memory.   OS version Ventura 13.2   Bridge version 13.0.2.636   Photoshop version 24.2.0 release     I have extensive experience with Photoshop from way way back.   Everything has been working fine until recently a couple of weeks.  Work flow involved download files from camera (CR3) to a folder and then been opening CR3 files from Bridge so I could adjust them them and then send them the adjusted files directly to Photoshop 2023.  A couple of weeks ago I noticed some hickups with Bridge not sending the adjusted files to Photoshop 2023.   Sometimes no file would be open in PS, sometimes on or two images would open, sometimes all images would open.  I thought I had that resolved but today the issue returned.Sometimes the all the adjustments I made to the Raw files would not even save in Bridge if I clicked DONE. Sometimes they would save.  If I tried to use the OPEN

A thread was closed regarding bridge flickering  (First seen Approx 1 year ago) whilst previewing images appartently lastest update sorted issue NOT SO its as bad as ever a epileptic seizure warning needs to be issued Its OK for the first 10 or so imaging then goes into complete melt down and makes viewing image impossible I know alot of customers have left and have Photo Mechanic 

I have both a laptop and a PC tower and on the three latest bridge updates the preview is blank on both machines. The version 12 works fine. Also on my new PC (when I search the exact same search on both machines) it only finds a 10th of the imges that my laptop finds.

Hi, I can't use bridge while I'm transfer photos anymore. Is there a fix for that or a settings option that I'm missing? Bridge 13.0.3.693. Thanks.

When I open a jpg in Bridge it tries to open it in Lightroom and I want the default to be Photoshop. My preferences all have photoshop in them but when I right clight the jpg in Bridge it says Lightroom is the default. How do I change this? It is a pain. When I double click an image with intent to open it in Photoshop, it automatically picks Lightroom which I have to cancel and respecify which program I want it to open with. 

Since 2023 / Bridge 13, the Metadata hover box has been REALLY glitchy. It used to get stuck on screen with previous versions, but now sometimes it shows up for a split second only while the mouse is moving (seemingly) and other times it shows up and won't go away. I have to fully quit bridge to make it go away. Leaving Bridge open and toggling the "Show Metadata on hover" option on and off doesn't work.  I will sometimes have 2 or 3 stuck metadata boxes on top of whatever I'm trying to work on, including opening files in ACR. And the box stays on top of the entire system. I haven't found any app that covers the box once it is stuck. Driving me crazy. Mac Studio M1 Ultra, Bridge 13.0.1.583

Problem with Adobe Bridge 13.0.3.686: When photos are exported, one cannot continue to work in Bridge while images are exported in the background.

Hi,    Bridge 2023 fully patched on a Mac    I store my images in folders based on camera model and then handle them by creating a collection based on event.  From then on I work in the Collection and not the folder.     The problem is that on my first pass through the images, I delete failed images, duplicates and other undesirables.  All looks well during that session.  The trouble is that next time I start Bridge and look at the collection I have an error at the top of the screen saying that the collection has many missing files.    It seems that deleting a file inside a collection does not remove the entry in the collection.  Instead it remains as an orphan.  On reopening the collection, e.g. on reopening Bridge, it then gets all upset because it can't find the files.    Is there any way I can report this as a bug please?

WTFPlease bring this basic and so needed feature back!!! For the love of God!! Jesus!!!crazy 

Using latest version of Bridge:13.0.3.693  Windows 10 Pro 64 bitI'd like to add a panel group vertically, i.e. add a "row" to a verical column of panel groups and can't figure how to do it nor find any google searches to show.  All of the preinstalled workspaces provide with bridge only show one or two vertical groups so I wonder if it's even possible.  See screenshot.

I recently processed some RAW files using Capture one.  I then created large jpgs of the images.  They output to my tablet fine as well as when I view them in Windows Explorer.  However when I look at the same files in Bridge, two are very dark with one looking like it has a bad high dynamic range effect applied. I would understand this more if they all were weird looking but I don't understand what would have happened to make Bridge act this way to only a couple of images of a bunch that that were all processed pretty much the same way.I've included the worst one below.  It will be interesting to know if this looks OK to everyone.  Maybe open it up in YOUR Bridge.Thoughts? 

Was there a 2020 version of Bridge?What is the latest version today?Is it free?

I like to display images in a two column grid Content panel, leaving plenty of room for a good size Preview panel.I thought old Bridge used to display keywords next to thumbnails in this grid view configuration. I can't see how to make it, now. The Details view is good, but only allows one column?

The last few iterations of bridge (13.0.2 down through 2022 versions) are essenrtially unusable on mac (I cannot speak for all macs, but for me it's on big sur and montery). I know I've read of this "flickering" issue before, but I'd like to know if there's been any news on that front or if it's been reported. When trying to use bridge to view raw files, upon hitting spacebar to view full screen, the image begins to kind of flickr. Not a screen issue, it seems more like an effect issue - like the initial flickr you get when viewing full screen gets stuck and just keeps blinking which makes it impossible to view images. The other issue that I've heard before and, again, am wondering about, is the excessive cpu usage of bridge 2023 (on mac, at least). While running bridge and with no tasks going on or previews being built, the mac's fan will get loud and the activity monitor will show that bridge is using like 500% cpu. Between those 2 issues, and the fact that delete and fill is missing

Before updating to Bridge 13.0.2.636 and Mac Ventura, my workflow was to Plug in the SD card, open Bridge, import all the files converting them to DNG files in the process, then doing a batch rename. Now after getting a new Macbook, updating the OS to Ventura, then installing Bridge13.0.2.636 I can't find any reference or tools to continue this workflow. Why can't I continue to convert my new downloads to DNG files in the import process?

I have updated to Bridge 2023 and lost most of my previews for  Rhino Files - just gettng the Rhino software icon. I have tried a number of settings (software rendering on and off, clearing cache). I may not understand how to truly clear the cache. If I continually work in a folder,  it eventually changes overs to previews. I have about 3,000 relativly small Rhino files in folders. Is there a way to just make this happen all at once? I have this issue everytime I update Bridge. Also, Bridge's  search often just doesnt work. I can type the name of the file into the search bar and it won't find it. But if I just sort by name the exact same text is there in the file name. This is a constant issue. Thoughts on this? It is probably obvious that I am not a tech support perons :), but it sounds like some sort of indexing issue? 🙂
