Bridge

Before the Update to Version Bridge 13.01.583 it was possible to do this:Bridge is already started, and I have the folder X open in bridgeIn another task through Windows Explorer, I make a right click to folder Y, then I choose "Browse in Bridge": the task change to bridge and bridge shows me the folder YPerfect! Now after update:Bridge is already started, and I have the folder X open in bridgeIn another task through Windows Explorer, I make a right click to folder Y, then I choose "Browse in Bridge": the task change to bridge and bridge shows me the folder XI wish that bridge shows me folder Y not X. Is this a bug or a setting that has changed with the update? (When Bridge is not started, then the “Browse in Bridge” function in the Windows Explorer context menu works well. Then it opens Bridge and show me the folder, that I selected in Windows Explorer.)I use Windows 11, last updates. 

Recently got a new M1 Max laptop, downloaded bridge and this has popped up since downloading it. Just wondered if there was anything I could do to fix this as bridge has been freezing and randomly shutting down ever since I got the new laptop. Thank you!

I understand there is a deluge of people reporting this problem, which is really part of a larger problem with the Ventura update.  Apple wants to further reduce support for NTFS-based architecture, and so virtually everyone using an external drive which comes with an NTFS-for-MAC program has had their workflow very brutally interrupted.  This will of course include virtually all photographers, whose massive archives will typically not fit on their Mac hard drive.My previous NTFS-for-mac softeware became completely nonfunctional upon upgrading the OS, and I was no longer able to write to external drives, leading to a collapse of my itunes, my ability to torrent, and a realy appalling slowness in even reading data on externals. I've since been forced to purchase a new NTFS-for-Mac program (I'm currently using Tuxera), which somewhat addresses the issue, but my computers ability to read the data on externals is radically slower.  Using Bridge to open a folder of image

Hello,When I try to drag Multiple photos from Adobe Bridge into Apple Photos, only one photo is added and I get the following messege:"Cannot Import Item This item cannot be added to your Photo library because it may be an unrecognizable file format or the file may not contain valid data."I than have to drag one by one.Any idea why?All the photos are JPG.Thank you,Shlomit

I added a snapshot in ACR to a CR2 file, and now cannot display the Raw Data in the File Info dialog. Note the file size difference for the sidecars, all other XMP files are 374KB. This is identical behavior in Bridge 12 and 13. The file has a mask and the mask data appears both as crs and crss namespace data.

Hello allBridge always shows me the images from the memory cards from my reader without any problems.If I connect my mobile phone or my Fuji x100V directly to a USB port, I only get icons but no pictures.Also, the icons cannot be opened by double-clicking them in Photoshop.Does anyone have any advice? Thankswww.foto-hamacher.de

I do near-daily photoshoots, and for each shoot I create a folder titled according to the model's name, like this:John Anderson 4.28.18John Doe 8.4.21John Doe 11.21.22Joseph Jackson 1.31.15In bridge these are ordered alphabetically by name.  Very, very often however - many times daily in fact -  I need to know which are the most recent shoots in order to complete outstanding jobs.  There are thousands of shoots and it's not a simple thing to browse for recent dates.  I have never found a way to neatly resort this list of folders within Bridge by SHOOT DATE.  Anyone have a workaround?  I've been asking for this for many years and everyone always just tells me to switch to Lightroom. I DO NOT want to lock my images into place with Lightroom and I don't want a lot of responses telling me how much better other programs are. I am specifically looking for suggestions on how to use Bridge to do this.  Perhaps there is some way to add tags or keywords to the

I have seen this question but no suitable answers.  I am using a Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1, Bridge 2023 version 13.01.583, Photoshop 2023 version 24.0.1.  I have always used Bridge to select the files I want to edit.  When I double click on a photo Bridge opens it in camera raw.  When I have finished editing in camera raw and click open it takes the photo back to Bridge.  Then I have to right click on the photo, select open in Photoshop 2023 which takes me back to camera raw and then when I click open I am finally in Photoshop.  Never used to work this way.

In Windows Explorer, clicking on the down arrow while holding down the CTRL key will collapse that folder and all of its subfolders. This feature has also been implemented in Dreamweaver. It would be helpful to have this feature in Bridge also. Currently, the only way to collapse all folders is to quit and restart Bridge. On my site there are well over 1,000 folders and subfolders on three drives drives, including many A, B, C, ... X, Y, Z folders nested five levels deep. After several additions or edits, the folder list in the Folders pane gets very long, requiring several folders to be manually closed just to make navigating easier.

Hello, I'm used to using Bridge with local files on my HD, but I'm on a new team and we are trying to use Bridge in conjunction with Adobe Libraries. Currently, I'm not able to add Keywords to media items that are in a Library. When I select the image, and try to check the box on the Keyword, it doesn't fill in and it doesn't add the keyword to the image. It works perfectly when I select an item on my computer's hard drive. Does anyone know why I'm unable to add Keywords to items in the Library? I am running the latest version of Bridge on MacOS 12.5. I appreciate any help.

I am going to photograph a few works of art (quilts) so the artist can make a book of her works. I figure I will fill out the metadata like I usually do for photos I take, including the copyright since the photo and the copyright to the photo are mine. But I believe there are fields I should fill in that provide the artists name, title of work etc. What should I populate?

I'm using Adobe Bridge Version: 12.0.3.270 on a PC with Windows 10.  I'm using it to keep track of videos.  Yesterday I recorded two versions of a video and uploaded them both into my computer.  They are extremely similar including the size of the file at about 6.9 GB.  They are in the same folder and one of them allowed me to add a description and keywords to it but when I tried to add to the other one I get a pop-up that says "The file XT4B1722.MP4 cannot store xmp metadata.  No changes will occur."  It won't even accept any input into the description field.  The previous one that did accept xmp metadata  is XT4B1721.MP4 so the file name structure is identical.  When I uploaded the files from the SD card I simply selected the two files and drug them across and dropped them into the new folder.  I have had some other files do the same thing to me, but use this example because they are like twins and one of them allows it and the o

My working space in Photoshop CC is Prophoto RGB.My monitor can display most of Adobe RGB. When I look at the images in Bridge, the colors are wrong. When I open up Bridge color settings, all I see are some weird prepress color spaces, but no Adobe RGB, no Prophoto RGB.This color settings dialogue seems to be from 20 years ago. How can I get Bridge to display my images properly. Especially blues are terrible. I read that you have to create some color profile and import it into Bridge, but the instructions are incomplete (bypassing the step of creating that profile) Why is it, that in 2019 Bridge cannot display correct colors and syncs automatically with Photoshop?How can I achieve this?

Hi, having a strange problem that happens several times a day, that I will be retouching an image, and all of a sudden, I am not facing photoshop, even though I was working eg with clone too on something say in the middle of the image, not near the edges, and next thing am not looking at Photoshop, but whatever program I have behind is now to the front. and I have to either Command-Tab (M1 imac) to bring it back to the front, or mouse down to the menubar I have at the bottom of the screen. very disconcerting... and puzzling.. don't know why. only on the rare occasion that I have not yet saved the image I am working on, will it crash photoshop. I breaks my concentration... any clues...?? I mainly have Music playing in the background.  Regards, Sandy

So  I have a strange issue that has come up recently.  There are three scenarios I've run into, one of which doesn't work as it should (Scenario 2) SCENARIO 1:When I open a RAW file from Bridge using ACR, and add some basic edits and basic masks (not the new AI masks, but things like Brushed masks or radials or gradiants) and then click "Open" or "Open Object" or "Open Copy" ACR saves the edits,and then opens PS and the image appears.  This works fine as it should. SCENARIO 2:HOWEVER, If I repeat this process and use some of the new AI masking features (like Select Subject or Select Sky) and click Open, ACR saves the edits and then closes, but PS won't load automatically like it did in the previous scenario.  Now, if I go and do the "Clear Settings" from the Develop Settings optin in the popup menu (in Bridge) and then repeat the first step, it works fine again.  This does not seem to work as expected. SCENARIO 3:I open PS first and then open a R

I saw another contributor complaining about this issue for Bridge 2023, but I am nowe having the same problem in Bridge 2022.  In fact it obscuring this page as I'm attempoting to type this report so excuse any errors in my typing because I can't see it on the screen.  I've attached a screen grab showing it obscuring Task Manager with Bridge underneath that.  My system is Windows 11. I have a six-core i& with 64GB RAM and a GTX1070 with 8GB RAM.  What is going on Adobe?

Hi Everyone,I was wondering if there's a way to filter in Bridge TIF that contains path in it?Thanks in advance,sincerely, Carmelo. 

Trying to standardize across our creative department different templates that we use for contact sheets. Is there a way to export them or does anyone know the file path where these are stored?   

It says it will take 30 minutes to copy 40 files and time keeps climbing!! mac 12.6.1bridge 13.0.1.583

Hi I'm trying to sort a large batch of tiffs, 90% of with have paths, between those that do or do not have paths. I can't find any scripts or methods to sort them this way in bridge currently. Any scripts or tips would be appreciated. Whatever the method, sorting into folders, labeling in the finder, labeling in bridge, I can make work. Thanks in advance.

This is the first time I ever encountered this. The files are there, restarted computer and the same error stays... "All files have been moved, deleted or renamed and are no longer accessible for PDF conversion.Please reset and create a new contact sheet." I tried to reset and also use a new template, the same error remains, anyone?

But won't I lose my folders?same for LR classic ?Adobe Bridge 2022 12.0.3.270LR classic 11,5 -  Camera RAW 14,5macOS Catalina 10,15,7Ram 8 GB.
