Bridge

Would someone kindly advise me how to delete multiple unwanted image files (JPEG/Camera Raw) in Adobe Bridge on a desktop computer running Windows 10 after you have 'starred' the files you want to keep? I used to be able to do this on an IMac, but the keyboard commands for Windows computers are different, and I can't find instructions anywhere online. Many thanks.

I am brand new to this product.  I want to be able to edit a photo (crop, sharpen, etc.), then apply keywords.  Can I do this inside Bridge, or do I have to go out to edit and back in to apply keywords? 

I just replaced my computer (running on macOS Big Sur), and lost my Bridge cache during the transition. I have a pretty extensive directory of RAW images and files sorted into multiple folders. I'm now trying to build a cache of everything so that I can easily navigate between folders and see the content without waiting for it to find the content and generate thumbs. Does anyone have any tips for doing this when the volume is high? I tried going to my main folder which has a few thousand files and it says it's processed 2 files and then seems to get stuck. I've had some success by going to smaller subfolders and working backward, but there are a lot of folders so this isn't really ideal.  I would prefer to go into the primary folder and just let it run overnight, but I currently can't do that. Any thoughts?  

Hello there How can I change the tags that are in the right panel of the metadata? I need "ID de Asignación" to appear instead of "TransmissionReference" (or Referencia de Transmisión)   In the file info window I was able to do it, but not the metadata panel.  GraciasAntonio 

I’ve installed Bridge on a Mac (OS big sur). My images are stored on an external hard drive via a wifi network. The folder with the images is visible in the favourites section of Bridge. When I click on it I get the message ‘the item could not be mounted’. I’ve made sure that Bridge has full disc access and has access to files and folders. I’ve tried searching ‘how to mount a hard drive’ with no luck. Any assitance is appreciated.

Bridge 8.1 on my old Mac Pro (OS 10.11.6) won't read raw files from my new Sony camera. The computer is too old to upgrade my PS CC (19.1.9). The new DNG converter says it needs OS 10.14 to work. I've been told I can't upgrade the OS any further. What do I do?

I have a PDF that I need to replace the logo on. The problem is I have 200+ logos that I need to individually replace for that same PDF and save it each time as a different file name. Is there a way to do this in automated batches so I don't have to do one by one?

The Camera Raw Profile for the Canon 24-240 lens has an issue with landscape/foliage pictures.  In shots with grass, trees and other foliage, Camera Raw has artifacts around the border of the picture.  These artifacts do not show up when viewing in camera or when the lens profile is disabled.  It happens at all focal lengths and only with foilage shots.  This can be easily cropped out, but does appear to be an issue specific to Camera Raw.  

Is this possible from within Bridge? I'd like to play a slideshow on Bridge and be able to cast the slide show to a smart TV on the same network. Is this possible? Am I smoking my socks? 🙂 Thanks Stephen

Bridge ist nicht zu gebrauchen auf einem Latop mit Core I7 , 7700HQ und 16GB Ram, Grafik Geforce GTX 1060 Bridge speichert die Bilder im Cache  (einstellung nur Miniatur)  CPU auf 100 % Auslastung . Dann bei einem Einzelbild als Vollbildanzeige geht die CPUlast wieder auf 100 % und bleibt dort stehen, obwohl ich die Vollbildanzeige wieder weg gedrückt habe. Ich habe alles mögliche versucht in den Einstellungen der GPU, die ja einen Teil der Arbeit übernehmen sollte, nichts tut sich. Ich überlege ob ich das CC Abo wieder kündigen soll.

BonjourComment exporter les espaces de travail de bridge ( Mac ) pour les mettre dans une autre machine ?Avec photoshop, j'ai trouvé les présets mais avec Bridge  ?? Merci et bonne journéeAndré

Hey,  I am just wondering. So you open a folder in which there are several folder with images on you computer.Then you need what? "show items from subfolders"Ok:One of the moderator can explain me pls: why there is no short cut for this menu (very important) ? And why can´t we gernerate new one that we like? Did the Bridge Programming Team stay in another building while the rest of the stuff is having fun at the beach? Or is the Bridge Team in reallity only one person that has a special contract that dates back to 1980?  To make a long question short:  Who in this forum need shortcuts? They are so overrated.A keyboardlayout, what for? I know my shortucts. I learn them by memory.  It would be greate if more user request this feature.  Or maybe I am getting just old.  cheers Peter

When i open bridge on mac it crashes even though my mac is on the newest update and so is bridge it says that the softwhere isnt avaliable to work 

- You can't set Bridge to use sidecar- You can't set Bridge to sync with existing sidecar- You can't set Bridge to preserve modification dates- Bridge breaks every other media manager that uses modification date to organize files without EXIF timestamps 

I have a script that sets the metadata for the following fields: GPSLatitude GPSLongitude GPSAltitudeRef GPSAltitude and the data shows as having been applied in the Bridge Application, but the data is not in the sidecar XMP file, nor DNG files. If I move the file out of bridge the metadata goes away. Is there something I'm doing wrong when setting these values?

G'Day. I would like to export files currently in the .NEF format as .PSD files. I don't see the .PSD format listed as one of the options. There is TIFF, GIF, JPEG, etc. as options, but no .PSD. I must be overlooking something as surely Bridge will support a key Adobe file format. I'm using the Custom Export panel in Bridge. Can someone clue me in please? Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a PC computer i7-8700K with 64 gb of Ram and a Navida gtx 1070 GPU with lots of room on it's Samsung solid state drives.I've always had some issues with Bridge running slow after about 6 hours of working in and out of Bridge but in the past I would just restart my computer and all would be good for about another 6 hours. Now this doesn't make any difference and I'm only working in bridge when I have to because it's running so poorly. I must wait for everything.  I uninstalled and reinstalled bridge and also cleared the cache repeatedly.Cashe size is set to 72 gbKeep 100% previews in Cache is not checkedCompact cache on exit is checkedAutomatically import cache when possible is checkedPurge Cache older than 30 days is checkedI don't know if this is related but it occured at the same time, when in Photoshop using the ACR from the filter menu, if  use "apply previous setting", it will often leave a very thin strip on one of the edges of the image that is a do

For awhile now I have been seeing that raw files that were processed in camera raw, cropping and exposure are not showing up in Bridge.  Usually if I just reopen in CR and come back to Bridge, they recover and display as they should.  But now I came across 4 pictures that are very dark and uncropped and went to CR and back and they remain the same.  In CR they are cropped and with good exposure.  I went back and made a slight temperature change, as sometimes this stimulates a return to the corrected status but now that isn't working either.

Hi,  can someone of the moderators please explain why the dual monitor feature is no longer supported? Who thought that it´s a good idea to downgrade the app? In every app I can dock or undock windows but in bridge it seam like there is a seperate team programing that is not talking to the other teams?  We are not working with less windows in future. Its going to be more. Otherwise: Can someone explain how we are suposed to work with this?  kind regards Peter 

A few months ago I switched my Canon camera system from the 5D Mark IV to the R5 body and all RF lenses. I’ve processed many RAW images in Bridge and all of my Canon RF lenses have always been in the Optics > Profile. As of today, when I now go to Optics > Profile > Use profile corrections > Setup (Default) > Lens Profile > Make (None) > Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically, my RF 70-200 is never contained in this info (but my other Canon lenses are) which means I have to do this manually. Would anyone know why? Thanks for any info.

I've followed all the directions, but I can't update Photoshop until I close Bridge, but I can't close Bridge. on Windows 10.  How do I close it? 

Hi CommunityIn Bridge preferences I chose start in Background. But when I start the Computer Bridge is opening complete in the foreground.What can I do that Bridge starts in the Background without opening a window (in CS6 it worked fine)?I use Bridge 2021 on Windows 10. RegardDiddi

I happily used Bridge for years in my CS6. Now running Mac OS Catalina and Creative Cloud All Apps. Bridge is so slow, but most frustrating, so far, is selecting a file (jpeg, png, pdf, psd, anything), & double clicking - nothing happens. Try Command > O - nothing happens. Try several other suggestions made in an Adobe forum - the only thing that works is to drag the file onto the appropriate app - this is a drag!Bridge was a wonderful tool for so many years, why make it harder to use??

Hi:I have hardly used keywords for images (a mistake, no doubt) but I have to do add them to some images I wish to upload to a library. Unfortunately, when I go to essentials and click the keywords tab at the bottom of the image, nothing happens.  The library sent me three of my images on which they had entered keywords, and I can see them when I use the metadata tab, but there seems to be no way to enter a window where I can copy, edit or add to these keywords. If I click on the three-line button bottom far right of the window and click on 'new keyword', nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?  

I like the checkbox-approach used in the Keyword-Panel, It's non-modal implementation (→ no need to press "Apply" to confirm a selection of keywords), however, seems to lead to painful usage errors – likely for as long as the program exists. I found numerous threads in the forums, where users express their frustration with keyword-assignment. This post describes the problem nicely – it's exactly what I see.The short version is: Selecting a few images and assigning a bunch of Keywords with the Keywords-Panel doesn't work properly. Bridge will erase and partly overwrite existing Keywords, throw unjustified error messages, and in nine out of ten instances stop before the assigned job is done.As a workaround, I assign the desired keywords to a single image first (using the Keywords Panel). Then I copy them from the Metadata-Panel (which comes with a modal "Apply") to the remaining images. While this works, it is needlessly slow and clumsy. Has anyone found a clever way to deal wi
