Bridge

We're happy to announce the Public release of Adobe Bridge 16.0.4 This June 2026 release of Adobe Bridge includes security fixes. Note: As always, the update will be rolled out incrementally. If you do not see the update in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, please wait until we roll out the public update to all users. To update Bridge to 16.0.4, click "Update" in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Bridge. More detailed instructions for updating

Updated new release. Try to launch. Nothing happens.

Updated Bridge to 16.0.5.19. Using with Canon R6 Mkii. Selecting Get Photos from Camera, the R6 is present in the drop down. However, selecting the Rg Mkii drop down now takes me to the camera file structure, and does not see any photos files on the cards. Canon EOS Utility will see and download the photos from the camera.

I open an image from Bridge 16.0.3.21, 16.0.4 and 16.05.19 too n Photoshop, edit it, and close it, but Bridge jumps to a completely different image a few entries down in the same folder. The issue does not occur in Bridge Beta 16.01.15..

Bridge has become wildly unstable on my system. I can’t reliably do ANYTHING - delete a file, open a file in Camera RAW, etc.Bridge + RAW crashed my system hard yesterday, actually re-booting me.  I couldn’t do anything in Bridge, not even click on the menu. I un-installed and re-installed Bridge. Cleared all my caches. Got it to work again.However, it had re-arranged all of my stacks. I had 100 - 200 of them, with my favorite shots on top. (1,2,3,4).When I got Bridge to open again, the top of each stack had been moved to the second spot.(2,1,3,4)I spent forever re-arranging things and then, when Bridge hung/crashed the next time, the were back out of order again.Now, Bridge hangs ALL THE TIME. Right-click on a thumbnail - it hangs. Try to delete a file - it hangs. I’m editing a wedding and I’m at my wit’s end.

When I open bridge, every time a popup  appears with the message “Adobe Bridge 2026.app” would like to access data from other apps.”  I want to NOT ALLOW. How can I eliminate this popup? There seems to be no way to turn it off. The number of annoyances just seem to keep growing.

I believe I used to be able to do this in the past, but now as I’m trying to batch export files into larger images, the dropdown is greyed out, and I can’t select it. This has been particularly inconvenient because I’m trying to export a batch of pixel art into larger images, which requires the resample method to be “nearest neighbor”. I have tried a lot of different file types and it seems the dropdown only becomes available if I use “Scale Image” for a smaller size. 

I am purchasing Adobe Photoshop Elements 2026, 3 year version without CC.   I used to have bridge, but need to update it in order to use it.   I would like just free bridge to work without having to pay for a subscription or having to go thru CC.   I only use it to manage my photo files and access.   It use to be the best at this.   It use to be free.   So can I still get bridge free without having to go thru CC? 

Following upgrade to Ps 27.8 and Br 16.0.3.21 remove tool edits not visible in Br. If reopened in RAW they are still there. Problem on both Mac book and iMac (AMD). I have tried CC cleaner and reset all preferences etc. Does anyone recognise this? Any solutions?

When I use Bridge without internet, it rapidly becomes unusable...takes forever to do things such as generating thumbnails. When I return home, its behaves normally. Lightroom and Photoshop give me no such grief. Is there a workaround???

Don’t know why but all of a sudden today when I select the crop tool in Camera Raw (from Bridge) trying to lift the crop tool bottom edge, keeps grabbing the top of the filmbar located below.You have to be very very specific now which is a pain  

Using bridge When viewing an image using the spacebar the view does not fill the screen as it did previously. It has grey sidebars. this has only happened since the last upgrade.  I’ve tried a number of changes to setting but nothing seems to work.  Suggestion on how to fix most welcome.

In Bridge 15 HEIC files are not displayed (no thumbnail, no preview, no full screen picture), if the name of the folder includes special German characters (ö, ü, ä) - tested with "ö".  With usual folder names HEIC files are displayed correctly. The bug is still in version 15.03.525 under up-to-date Windows 11 24H2. Please forward this bug to the development department. The workaround to rename the folder names is not a useful solution. Some weeks ago I had a chat with the hotline, but the ticket has been closed as solved at the same day. Seems that they did not understand the problem correctly.

I am using Adobe Bridge Workflow for high-volume professional image delivery.Steps to reproduce:Select high-resolution JPEG images in Adobe Bridge. Run Workflow to export smaller preview JPEGs. Resize images to 3840 px long edge. Set JPEG quality to 7. Compare exported file size with Lightroom export using similar dimensions and visual quality.

Ik kan op bureaublad klikken maar zie geen foto’s. voorheen was er geen wit vel zichtbaar en kon alles getoond worden. wat te doen?

More annoying than anything, but when I copy and paste a folder containing a few hundred images, the file path in the Path Bar will change to a random location. All the files are in the correct folders and location. And using the back button will reset it to the correct path but I’m used to clicking the Path Bar to skip a few folders but due to this issue, I can’t do that. Again, more annoying than anything but still, I’d like to find a fix.

Has anyone found a solution to the blue thumbnail glitch on Adobe Bridge on macOS? Thumbnails on ProRes HQ footage look normal, but any H265/HEVC footage has a blue tint. I know Windows has a solution by installing HEVC extensions, but I can't find any for macOS. I am on the latest macOS Sequoia and Adobe Bridge versions.

We're happy to announce the Public release of Adobe Bridge 16.0.3 This March 2026 release of Adobe Bridge includes security fixes. Note: As always, the update will be rolled out incrementally.

Version 15.0.2.432 (but the issue is present in prior versions)I am using a very high-end machine, and Bridge performs well when connected to the internet. However, I am often offline for days at a time in the field while taking and processing photos. Bridge is effectively unusable when there is no internet connection. Once I'm back online, the issue disappears. To be specific, the issue involves extreme lag when adding/removing labels, ratings, navigating thumbnails, viewing "high quality preview" and opening images into Camera Raw. I would imagine that many other actions are impacted by the issue, but these are the actions I most often perform when culling images in the field while offline.I am 100% certain that Bridge is attempting web calls on nearly every single user action (presumably for Adobe's own internal user analytics), and it is doing so in a terribly inefficient manner that renders the software inoperable with repeated crashes and/or unnecessarily long wait times between

Anything I search for in the Adobe Bridge quick search (in the top right of the app) yeilds zero results. I'm trying to search terms in my Sound Effects library. No matter what I search, no items are found. If I search a term in the general File Explorer (outside of the Bridge app) I get results.  I've unistalled and reinstalled Bridge. Still not working. I've downloaded the beta version of Bridge. Still not working. 

Bonjour, je constate un bug dans Bridge : Certains fichiers (InDesign) que j’ai enregistrés aujourd’hui (26/06/2026) s’affichent dans Bridge comme enregistrés au 23/01/2026 !? En revanche, dans l’explorateur Windows, tout est correct. Précision : tous les logiciels Adobe sont à jour sur mon PC. Merci, si vous pouvez remédier à cette gêne. 

When I'm loading images into layers via the Bridge dialog command, it no longer queues the tasks, in stead I get a dialog box saying photoshop is busy. I use this function almost constantly, the impact on my workflow is quite severe, anyone else having the same issue or got a fix?
