Bridge

Just installed newest version of Bridge to my wondows computer from creative cloud. It starts, but will not open in full size. Just opens as a small icon on the bar on the bottom. Have tried to open from different locations, restarted the computer, used clean up in files and registry cleaning, but nothing works. Help! I am doing a course in using the Adobe creative cloud and some of the programs and need this to complete my assignments.

Hi, New user to Bridge.  I'm trying to manually rename a billion videos of my kids but periodically get the error listed. "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." I am almost 99% sure it's because the video is being "previewed", i.e., still running on the Preview pane, while I try to rename the file.  I say that because if the video is stopped, renaming works perfectly.   Please tell me that's not the case!  Why even have a preview window if you can't do anything to the file while it's running?? Help! Thank you,Steve

Wenn ich, was ich schon immer regelmäßig mache, in bridge camera raw einstellungen kopieren möchte,  funktioniert es nicht und ich bekomme die Meldung "Camera Raw Bearbeitung ist nicht aktiviert". Siehe Foto im Anhang

Hi, is there any way to start Bridge via command line and open a specific folder through it?I manage projects in Excel and can open folders using a hyperlink. I would like to open folders directly via hyperlink in Bridge.Does anyone know if something like this works?Thanks in advance!

Hello, I need some help. I use Adobe Bridge to sort images by holding the control key and clicking. For some reason, it is now randomly opening an image in photoshop and unclicks all of my saved pictures and I have to start over again. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you

Good AfternoonMy photographic club use Bridge. We would like to be able to batch edit image names in order to make a random slideshow. The filename format is "123 Sunny Day", i.e membership number space image title. We'd like to be able to have the 123 replaced with a 3 digit sequence number 001, 002 etc. I saw a solution on the net and tried it but it didn't work - I can't seem to find the right formula so any help appreciated please.

Hallo!Ich möchte gerne in Adrobe Brigde z.B. 10 einzelne Fotos auswählen, welche dann automatisch mit einer Reihe von z.B. 20 verschiedenen Presets versehen werden und mit dem jeweiligen Preset-Namen vor dem vorhandenen Dateinamen gespeichert werden.Am Ende müssten dann 200 gespeicherte Dateien rauskommen.Gibt es eine Möglichkeit dieser Stapelverarbeitung?

Working with Bridge for a whole year. Now I can't edit Keywords, getting an Error table. Workspaces are set to default and cache cleaned. Working on Mac, files are in Google drive. Could someone help?

Hello, I organize and edit Canon RAW files (Cr.3) with the bridge. Lately it has happened more often that the export (raw->jpg)simply stops after a number (approx. 40) of images and that metadata (Exif, IPTC, ratings) are not exported with some images. Clearing the cache only helps to a limited extent, then it exports again for a while, the problem with the metadata remains. Win 10(current), Ryzen5 3600(6 cores); 8GB Sapphire Radeon RX 570; 2x8GB RAM DDR4 3200 Dual Channel. the system worked for 2 years without any problems, where do I start with troubleshooting? All updates have been made. More RAM?

Hello,when I want to open a RAW file in "Bridge", I get the following error message: Camera Raw processing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing is only possible if an authorized product has been licensed before.When I double click on the RAW file, then open the internal Bridge Camera RAW. Then everything works normally. But I can then only edit one file at a time. And when I want to copy the edit settings, I also get the same error message. I have already uninstalled and installed Photoshop as well as Bridge. And the Creative Cloud is also properly licensed. We pay monthly. Does anyone have any idea what is causing me to be limited?Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

When viewing thumbnail gallery I am having continual problem with pop-up file metadata freezing on the screen.  I must close the program to get it to go away.  Even if I open the photo file in PS this metadata pop-up remains as the top thing on the screen.   {Thread renamed by moderator}

Being able to PLACE images that you see in BRIDGE in a Photoshop Image is a great feature.It would be even better if the Thumbnail background color could be changed so that you could see light images like clouds that are on transparent backgrounds.According to our code writer, this isn't a big trick when creating a third-party program.By having the background layer of an image a darker color, he can have the selected image PLACED without the background.Thumbnails in Bridge will display the background color now but do not separate the image from the background during the PLACE process.Perhaps just having the Bridge background a darker color would show images like clouds properly.

I just came across a something weird. For some reason Bridge is not reading the XMP sidecards of RAW files. I can see that the XMP files are in the folder but they are not recognized. I remember having spent several hours editing those photos some months ago in the same computer using Bridge and Camera RAW. However, the folder where there the issue appreas, the preview images do not get updated and opening photos in Camera Raw do not show the edits in the side cards. What it is even weirder, the XMP files seem to have no information about the edits that I did. What went wrong in Bridge? I do not think there is a way to recover the edits though. 

Can adobe please add Pick flag support for Bridge?  They have the "Reject" flag, so why not a "Pick" flag.  The reason I'm requesting this is for those who need to go back and forth between LR Classic and ACR perhaps, and Pick Flags don't seem to be supported in Bridge (the workaround I've found it to use 1-Star ratings as pick flags, but would be nice if Bridge actually supported the pick flag itself).

I keep having this problem where I am trying to do one thing and then Photoshop opens the image.  Like I might change the number of stars, clicking there and it opens. Now I just highlight a folder of images clicking once on the first and then shift clicking on the last to update metadata for all in the folder, and then had to wait while it opened them all.  This is constantly interfering with my workflow. 

Hi,   I wanted to be able to geotag images and show their location on a map view using Bridge, so I have been working on an extension to do that. Basic functionality seems to work so far so I published it on my github: bridge-map-view   It is based on Google Maps so you need to create an API key. It is a little convoluted process but Google has pretty conclusive documentation about it. The extension is also not signed/packaged, since I don't really understand how to, so you need to just download the source files and enable debug mode in Bridge to use it. More instruction in the README.   Let me know if you find it useful or if it is not working, I will gladly help.  

I updated to the latest versions of bridge and photoshop and now my tools photoshop merge to hdr pro is missing. If I use an old version of bridge is has the option but tells me I need to update photoshop. Which I have already done. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. 

Hi, since today morning I can not open any file in Camera Raw with Bridge (CR3, CR2, jpg).Deinstalled Bridge, reinstalled, no success, deinstalled together with Photoshop, removed every Camera Raw folder I found, no success.When clicking in Bridge in Camera Raw settings, same problem, Bridge freezes.Deinstalled the newest file for an older Version ( 11.1.4.213), same problem with freezing.In Photoshop I can open every raw file.Working on Mac OS 12.0.1Thanks for any help!

When I click Get Photos From Camera in Bridge, nothing happens. There is no error and no Photo Downloader dialog window. I use this all the time to import photos from my SIM cards.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and installing an older version and re-upping back to the newest version. No change at all in functionality.  Any ideas?

I have an unusuak probelem.We use Bridge on two computers:1 Windows and 1 Mac. They both access files on a networked drive. Sometimes the MAC will create a file folder and on the MIC its ist perfectly legible, but on the Windows PC it is not.IE:MAC Made a file in Bridge  Titled: Graham LopezIt will show correctly in all programs, as well as in Bridge. BUT..On the windows machine (all brograms and Bridge)  it shows as: GFK4CH~5  This happens about 80% of the time with the Bridge created file folders on the Mac. We then need to use the WINDOWS machine to rename them correctly. So as you can imagine, its a lot of double work. Has anyone else experienced this and more imortant, do you have a solution?The MAC is new running the lastes IOS and latest Bridge. Thank you,Paul

Would be abamazing if you could preview the image flipped horizontally for errors, and also preview an image in grayscale to check your values without always having to open photoshop.

So this sometimes I've always had a problem with since using bridge 10 years ago to this day, and that it that the zoom goes from 0% to 100% to 200%.These increments are too large to see your image. If you have a fairly small resolution image like 2000pixels x 2000pixels maybe its not too bad, but when you go above that the zoom is too extreme.Like for example if I have a portrait and I'm trying to zoom in on the head, it zooms all the way to the eye instead. I cant get a good look at the head from bridge.They give you zoom options in Photoshop. Like when using a filter such as the liquify or Camera raw, lens corrections, ect... the zoom options are 6%, 12%, 25%, 25%, 33%, 50% 66%, then 100%, 200%, and so on. Also they give side options to "Fit to View" +, and - .Image if your only zoom options for liquify were 100% and 200% like bridge is,  you couldnt use the tools if they were. Seems like it would be a very welcomed and not too hard change to add.Thank you!

I pretty much use Bridge for one task: sorting through and previewing assets I have collected into a single folder. The folder in question has tens of thousands of items, all of which are meticulously tagged with keywords. The hundreds of keywords are sorted into folders and subfolders so I can find the keyword I need quickly. But the problem is if I want to see everything tagged with a specific keyword, the fastest way to do this seems to be to filter the folder by that keyword. However, if I go to the filter panel and sort by keyword, it lists every single one of my hundreds of keywords alphabetically, regardless of whether those keywords are in subfolders. This means that if I want to look at every file tagged "owl," I have to scroll through hundreds of keywords to reach O. (Instead of going in the Keywords panel to Animals>Birds>Owl, right-clicking, and hitting Find.) Another issue might be if I don't quite remember what the keyword is. My keyword structure might be

I am using CS6 Brige in Windows 11.  Menus and icon are too small.I found a fix for Photoshop but it does not work in Bridge.        

I have recently started using Bridge 2020 on a MacBook Pro High Sierra (coming from the old Bridge CS5).  There are a number of degradations in the new Bridge 2020 and I can't see what's actually better - overall it seems to be clumsy port of the old bridge which worked rather well.  I shall create a different thread for each problem. I have lots of external drives which I plug in and out as and when needed.  An intrinsic problem of Bridge (even under the old version) was that if you create a shortcut under Favourites to a volatile directory (like an external drive), if you click on it when the directory is not available, in its wisdom it decides that it needs to remove the shortcut!! In order to get around this annoyance I had created a directory called "Switchboard" on my MBP and in terminal, I had created symbolic links to the said drive's target directory, (ln -s /Volumes/blah/photos ~/Switchboard/blahPhotos). I would then add Switchboard to my favouri
