Bridge

Just subscribed to Adobe CC on new laptop. A Bridge feature I use constantly in my work is the compact mode. This feature is now gone. The workaround is clumsy and inefficient, to say the least. I find online only that it is gone but no explanation other than 'it cannot be used in other Adobe CC apps' or something to that affect. Is there a rational explanation and an efficient alternative? I've returned to my old laptop just so I can finish two projects with fierce interplay between InDesign and Bridge. Please restore this invaluable feature! Thanks for any advice.

Bonjour,J'utilise quotidiennement Bridge pour renommer, pivoter et scripter via photoshop des lots d'images.Or depuis 5-6 jour, l'affichage des miniature, et la mise à jour des noms de fichier est d'une lenteur anormale par rapport à l'utilisation habituelle.    Bridge est à jour.Et est utilisé sur PC windows 10 ProfessionnelUne idée du prolème?   bien à vous           {Title edited by Moderator}

For about 1,5 hours I was editing Canon raw files (cr3) and besides corrections in brightness, white balance etc. I also applied automatic masks to edit the sky. So far so good. Suddenly I couldn't do anything in Bridge: neither switching to other photos, nor going back from the raw fil editing to the thumbnail preview, nor eciting the application. All I could do was to termintate the program via process explorer.Then I recognized that all my changes I made to hundreds of photos were lost: neither the xmp files, nor the acr files were saved.Is there a place on the hard drive where copies of theses files are saved so I can restore my changes?

I spent today trying to get used to the new look but I seemed to be doing a lot of scrolling that I wasn't before. I work with hundreds, sometimes thousands of images at a time, rearranging them before giving them a final name for archiving. I was very happy last year when I got a large display that reduced the amount of scrolling I had to do. With this new version of Bridge, I can see 30% fewer thumbnails at a time. I have noticed an improvement in the overall performance of the application but, having to spend much more time scrolling cancels that out. Between this and the Workspace buttons issue I am very disappointed in this version. With version 2018 I can see 78 images at a time, with version 2019 I can only see 60. Screenshots attached, the first is 2018. Thumbnails measure the same in both instances.

There seem to be various posts discussing issues with these consuming lost of RAM / CPU, but I've not been able to find any information on what they are actually for? For the moment I've renamed both the files to prevent them from running and have seen no ill effect. It would be useful to know what they are actually for?

Several times this has happened.  I am viewing files or videos in Bridge and the window shrinks back to the icon on the taskbar.  If I hover over that, I see a preview of the folder and contents of what I was just on, but it won't open. In another case, just the filename showed and that desktop turned from blue with icons to gray and blank. In one case, I rebooted as all the other icons shrank and became response and I had to reboot.  Last time I used task manager to restart Bridge.

When I review my images in Bridge, I press the space bar and get a full screen image, I press arrow to go to following ones sequentially..  This doesn't work with videos.  If I'm on the icon and prss spacbar, nothing happens.  But if I am viewing an image file selected thus, full screen, and press the arrow key and the next one is a video, then it shows and plays full screen.  I prefer this to using the smaller preview above the metadata.  Isn't there another way to do this?  Videos are often adjacent to an image file.

Come on Adobe, Bridge has been so bad for years. Now in 12.02 fresh install of macOS and Adobe so many things don't work. Folders don't showw all files. Can't remove labele from files. Some folders don't show up in the folder list. That's just in the last five minutes. PLEASE FIX! 

I am new to bridge as i have lightroom and it is, and remains my primary app for photo management, however i was looking into what bridge could 'add' to the equation. Whilst in some areas the interface adds a great deal, the most annoying 'feature' is that it doesn't show items from subfolders by default and each time you move around the folder tree, it once again 'un-ticks' the 'show items from subfolders' option. my question is WHY?I have read a couple of posts that in general point to: 'speed of browsing and catalog management'. Well my question would be: If lightroom can cope with it, why can't bridge?whilst trying to avoid sarcasm, i'd need to remind adobe it is 2019, soon 2020. NOT 1982. Our processors are a little faster than an original 80286 processor and our hard drives are somewhat faster, especially using SSD drives. how can they build the functionality and performance into the lightroom classic catalog but can't do the same in a sister product? what significant d

Hello Can someone help please I have been sent a csf file for colour settings via email and want to install them through Adobe bridge. there doesn't appear to be any way of  loading the file. I am using the most up-to-date creative cloudThanks in advance.Angela

Bridge 12.0.0.234 is consuming over 90% of the CPU - AGAIN.  This was sloved in previous versions of Bridge, but now it's back.  It consumes so much resource that the mouse is even laggy.  Opening a raw file in PS takes 20-30 seconds.  Slider movements are laggy - at best.  Sometimes they are completely ignored. Once again, you've made PS virutally unsuable.  Sigh...

I'm new to CC version of Bridge Previously, in software based Creative Suite version of Bridge, when the images were displayed in the "Essentials" layout, choosing an image and making alterations to it (using camera raw), those changes would remain (even after quitting Bridge).  The changed image would have a small icon above the top right corner of the postage stamp image. However, with my newly installed version of Bridge, when I make alterations to an image they only last while Bridge is open, and no "change icon" ever appears. Is there a pref I need to set to make image changes permanent?  Or, is this "feature" no longer available? Any help in resolving my issue would be much appreciated. Thanks!! Mac OS 12.4MacBook Pro 14Adobe Bridge 12.0.2.252Camera Raw 14.4.0.1121  

Eu trabalho com design e ilustrações. Tenho um banco de dados com mais de 50 mil imagens, com diversos tamanhos e extensões. Muitas vezes faço busca dentro desses arquivos. Sempre usei o Explorer do próprio Windows para fazer essa busca. Nunca precisei do Bridge. Faz algum tempo que os thumbnails do PS não aparecem mais no Explorer. Isso impossibilitou que eu fizesse essa busca, ou então trabalhasse com ele para procurar arquivos. Cheguei a instalar softwares third-party para apresentar os thumbnails. Mas ultimamente não tenho encontrado mais programas assim que fossem gratuitos ou então que funcionassem.Fui forçado, pela própria Adobe, a usar o Bridge. Justamente porque o Explorer não consegue mais mostrar thumbnails de PSD. Até aí tudo bem. O Bridge vem junto com minha assinatura. Acontece que o programa, para mim, é uma tragédia. Ele é lento, precisa sempre carregar TODOS os arquivos para que eu faça uma busca decente. Muitas vezes ele congela e preciso

Bonjour Tous,Je lance Bridge comme d'hab mais il ne s'ouvre qu'à moitié, c'est-à-dire que je ne peux plus explorer de dossier, et que je n'ai pas accès aux fonctions habituelles dans le menu horizontal. Comme s'il n'était pas lancé en fait. Dans "Forcer à quitter", il apparaît bien comme ouvert. Je l'ai désinstallé et réinstallé mais cela n'a rien changé. C'est la seule appli qui me pose problème. Heeeeelp !

I am simultaniously shooting Canon raw cr3 files and jpeg files with a Canon R5 and storing them on an external drive. Bridge will read both files; Classic Lightroom will import the Canon raw cr3 files but not the jpeg files. Why is this? 

I've tried downlaoding older version of Bridge and got it work after many attempts and opening with Command, Option, Shift resets  But when I have to restart my computer it wont launch after many attempts and I even tried the newest Bridge and scared to upgrade my Big Sur 11.3.1 (20E241) to newest Monterey 12.2.1 Does any one have issues with Adobe Creative Apps and Monterey?I really need bridge to work for me. Would appreciate it if any one can help...

Hello! We have a team of ten people and are struggling with image asset management. I am hoping we can use an Adobe product rather than paying for yet another cloud-based system. We've been trying to use Lightroom with shared albums buts very glitchy and we are constantly losing shared access. I think Bridge *could* be what we're looking for: a cloud-based library where we can upload all our assets, tag and categorize as needed, and most importantly, easily share, update and use as a team.Has anyone had success using Bridge in this way? We are using Adobe Teams and need all users to be able to access it. I'm struggling to find support articles from Adobe that explain how we can get this running (we would be syncing from Google Drive). Thank you!

Bridge has pretty good editing capability for IPTC fields, but I can't see any way to search the IPTC fields (such as City, Country, Sub Location?) Any thoughts on how to do this ? Thanks   

There just doesn't seem to be a good digital assets manager for video stuff for individuals. Some good expensive enterprise stuff, but everything seems to be falling short for individuals.  I've tried having libraries in premiere composer, and it's not bad, but it's slow to generate and a little cumbersome. Bridge seems to be the way to go. I have tons of overlays, etc. It's all so hard to actually get through and use because i have no idea what any of it looks like. Anyone using bridge for this kind of work? I have it sort of set up now but it seems slow as hell and really clunky and just not useful for this. If you do, what is your setup and workflow? All of my assets are on a pretty powerful NAS over gigabit hardwired to my tower. 

I have  been working with Bridge for many years now and thought it was a great app. But since I have a new Mac Mini with Monterey installed there seem to be several issues. The most serious of them is with Labels. I use the labels to keep track of my designs and scetches; which one is sold, still needs work, has another version etc. I have built a whole ystem around this feature.Now when I open Bridge the labels are gone ore mixed up. Designs suddenly have a 'sold' label when they are still unsold or vice versa or they have a label that has not been named yet. At first I thought I made some errors but now it is clear it is an error in Bridge.I am very disappointed in Adobe especially since I now pay a substantial monthly fee for these programs. The good old CS6 was far more reliable...Please help!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if it is possible to preview multiple slides in Adobe Bridge for a .pptx file? I can currently preview the cover slide, but nothing more. Both .pdf and .indd I can preview all of the file. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hello, I shoot in JPG + RAW then I sort my photos on Bridge.I sort JPGs because it's quicker to scroll and rate.I would like to be able to apply the same sorting to my Raw automatically.In situ: I finish sorting my JPGs, I move them into a folder. I still have the Raw to sort. I want to apply a selection match (by filename or whatever) that would save me from re-sorting the raws behind.Thank you very much, have a good evening.

I am using a Mac + Adobe bridge- latest version. 12.0.2I am going through multiple memory card from a photoshoot, the first two cards it let me rate. I switched cards and now it wont let me rate photos. This happens all the time. I have cleared the cache. I have updated the app. Deleted the app + reinstalled it.It's so frustrating and pretty much stops me from working until the program decides to magically work again.

I teach HS photography. I have the preferences set in photoshop to record detailed editing information in the metadata. I need to see that they have actually done certain things (and try to catch sharing of files--its kind of futile but I do catch it sometimes.)But sometimes I don't know what the terms mean. For example, 'Open False, true'. What does that mean? Is there someplace I can go to define all the terms? I know there are others.
