Bridge

I cannot run Bridge v 12.0.3.270 on an Apple Mac Pro running Monterey OSX v12.6.  Once Open, I get the spinning wheel.  It had been working OK until recently.  I have Quit & Restarted, resetting Preferences and clearing Cache, four times.  No luck.  I have Uninstalled Bridge and downloaded & installed a fresh version of Bridge three times.  No luck.  I tried installing the previous version of Bridge (12.0.2.252).  No luck. I have run Disk Utility several times on my boot drive and even, using Apple Recovery Mode, installed a fresh copy of the OSX.  No luck. I am a working professional photographer and simply cannot function without a working version of Bridge. I have wasted hours on this.  Any suggestions sure would be welcome. Thanks.  Mark W.

I'm running Bridge (12.0.3) on a Windows 10 pro workstation. Every time I try to delete a subfolder, Bridge freezes and crashes, eventually requiring me to launch task manager to shut it down. On one occasion I left it for over an hour to see if it would "come right", but alas it remained totally unresponsive. This affects only folders and happens whether the folder contains files or is completely empty.I thought perhaps it was a cache issue, but I've jumped through all the hoops outlined in other threads and still no joy. The only work around I've found is to use the "reveal in explorer" function and delete unwanted/obsolete folders there before returning to Bridge to continue work, but inevitably muscle memory eventually lands me back at square one.I would love to hear if anyone has experienced a similar issue, and would appreciate any advice or guidance you guys have to offer!

I'm new to Bridge (Adobe Bridge CC ver. 9.0.1.216 x64).  I'm in the Filmstrip view and have added the Metadata panel so I can view and edit the metadata in my files.  I only use a small subset of the metadata fields and currently have to go through all different types (IPTC Core, IPTC Extension, File Properties, etc) to change the values.... I'm curious if there is a way to create a custom view / panel for metadata that only shows the metadata fields I want to see.  I tried using Metadata templates but that only seems like a way to apply standard data to a bunch of files... The data I'm adding is specific to each photo for the work I do with genealogy (people in the photos, description, location, date photo was taken, who is in the photo, etc).

Can't get Bridge to access my Time-Machine backup. I've been looking for a solution for a while, but can't find anything useful. A link to a supposedly previous chat on the issue does not work. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,Every folder XMP files are just appearing.   When scrolling through the images, every other image is an xmp square, I can't compare images with the xmp files inbetween.  Can someone help me stop this ... Please?  I am on windows, and haven't made any changes.  I have been doing this for 12 yrs and never had these show before.  I start with lightroom then import to PS, rename to PSD.  I use Bridge for viewing.  

Hi there, I make duotone BW images in PS (using Pantone coolgray) and they show very ugly and dark in Bridge. I have sync color spaces and tried to reset Bridge. Any idea how to fix this? My images show perfectly when I open them in PS or in Preview, with old Bridge CS5 I never had problems in visualization of duotone psd files...Thanks

All of a sudden, instead of just the photos, I have xml files (I know what they are and what they do) showing up with the photos. I've tried the preferences in Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop and can't find a solution. Is there a way to NOT see the xml files while working in Bridge? Thank you.

How to count files in a folder with other folders (holding images) in Bridge?

Hi! I am unable to import files into Bridge from my desktop or Lightroom. It just kicks them back to the file or the desktop. I was using it fairly recently with no problems, so I may have hit a button I didn't realize or something. Can anyone help with this? Thank you

Can the Illustrator team please ad a line into their metadata that bridge can access. Obviously illustrator knows the size of the document... why can't bridge?Bridge should have under Dimension the following:Default to Document measurement = What ever the document is saved as (pixel, cm, in)Select to Measurement: Pixel, cm, inPlease don't tell me that it's "Vector" and that vector can be any size you want. that's not the point. It's an Illustrator file (ie a poster or a print ad with Pixel Data such as jpgs or tiff placed in the artwork)ALSO Bridge should include Artwork exceeds art board: Yes/No (this would be good for Bleed info or additional artwork material the Preview icon can't display)

Bridge is not letting me rate WEBP files, while all other file formats work just fine. Every now and then I find a WEBP file that is rateable, but 95% of them they are not. So does that mean not all WEBP files are created equal? What would cause this anomoly? WORKAROUND: Batch convert all WEBP files to JPG or PNG but who's got time for that!?

so Bridge is showing this error message on startup apparently this script is to let other adobe apps communicate with Bridge, and it ain't working, so what's the whole point of using Bridge? The following is the google translated error message: An error may have occurred while running the script named "12"The incompatibility of this book can be selected by selecting "Update" in the "Aid" list.new" command to check for available updates.

When I open a folder in Bridge to apply a metadata template to the list of files, some of them don't show the thumbnail image (only the PS symbol). These files won't allow their metadata to be changed, either with a template or manually. I can't find any file restrictions or any other reason for this happening. Maybe I'm running up against memory limitations, but when I select a folder in Bridge, it just loads all the files - I can't see a way to just load a smaller group of files. Having to open each of these files in PS and appply the metadata one by one will be a real hassle. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, I have came to a problem with the new 3x M1 Mac Minis with newest Big Sur. Problem is that mostly newly imported files cannot be opened, says it's locked.  OS X Finder shows that files have full access. Once i restart Bridge, then the files are avaible to work on. Same is with Photoshop. Any ideas?

Buenas tardes.He instalado en Photoshop cc el plugin para convertir imágenes en formato Webp, pero no las puedo ver en el Explorador Window ni en Adobe Bridgede,  sólo puedo verlas en el navegador o si las abro en Photoshop.¿Conocéis algún plugin para poder visualizar imágenes webp en Adobe Bridge o en el Explorador Window?  

WindowsBridge Ver 12.0.3.270 As a part of my workflow, I have several subfolders. Some contain PDF files, some contain single-layer tif files, and some contain layered tif files (LZW compression). This has been a part of my workflow for several years. As of the most recent Bridge update, whenever I open the subfolder containing the layered tif files, Bridge crashes. I've went to multiple subfolders, and the same thing consistently happens. I've accessed local versions and remote (networked) versions and after opening the subfolder and seeing the thumbnails, it crashes. Photoshop is not affected as I can drag from Windows File Explorer into PS and they open.  I had a coworker, who updates Bridge regularly (is on save version), but doesn't use it as part of their workflow, go into a networked subfolder and the same thing happened to their Bridge. Then, because they don't remove old versions when updating (as I do), they accessed the same subfolder with Bridge 2021 and

I'm running the latest version of Bridge on a MacBook Air on Monterey OS. This morning I launched Bridge and no thumbnails for any folder show. I tried resetting preferences at startup and that didn't work. Restarting laptop didn't work. What's going on Adobe? Is this because Bridge is not compatible with Monterey. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling. Help please!

I am on the Beta build of Bridge using Windows 11 Pro.When viewing thumbnails in bridge, images appear really low quality. If the preview window is resized to be the same size as the thumbnails the previews are also extremely low quality. They exhibit a very grainy pixelated look to them which makes me think it's using the nearest neighbor rescaling instead of a better quality rescaling algorythm. I have tried dozens of options to fix this including every preview quality and loading. Results are mixed - sometimes the higher quality thumbnails will be visible until I click on the image (forcing a thumbnail to generate and cache?) and then the low quality thumbnail will be visible. At one point I turned off hardware acceleration for previews - which appeared to fix the preview window but not the thumbnails. I have played with every single option and none of them seem to fix the issue. Some options appear to delay it (I can see a higher quality thumbnail for a few seconds), I'd

Hi All,Any solution to this problem? Opening any file in Camera RAW from bridge suddenly stopped working. I can open one file at a time (raw, jpeg or tiff) but not batches.Error message: "Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been licensed."All my Adobe software is paid for and updated to the latest versions. PLEASE HELP!

When importing my images from my camera to my computer (Windows) using the Adobe Downloader via Bridge it's now creating a duplicate of every image. How do I stop this? I can't find an obvious setting that is telling it to do this.

I have Bridge and Photoshop CC 2017. Both have been working fine until this morning when I tried to open a Camera Raw image from Bridge and I got the message "Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature". I am not sure what has happened to Bridge overnight. I have launched Photoshop and I am still getting the message.Your suggestions as to how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Anna
