Bridge

I'm just starting to use PS again after being away for awhile and just updated everything to 2021.  I'm using a Mac running 10.15.7.I could swear I used to be able to bypass CR and open files directly from Bridge to PS but can't seem to do it anymore.  No matter what I try I always get CR first for all file types.  Am I remembering this incorrecctly ?Thanks for your help in advance.

When editing keywords in Bridge 11 they do not get saved.  This is not an issue with permissions open the files as the keywords are saved if I edit them in Bridge 10.1.1.  The same also applies to image rating.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Bridge won't include some of my illustrator files when I create a contact sheet using Output. I get the error below. I tried resaving the missing files but it made no difference.

I just did an update for Bridge to V9.1 and now I get a error "unable to use the camera raw plug in. not compatible with this version of bridge. Would love your guidance

Hi there, I installed the new Bridge verison (2021). Folders and subfolders from my external harddisk (LaCie 2big Dock 20TB) fail to load. It works fine with Bridge 2020, so I don't see what is going wrong.Who knows the answer to my problem? I have 177 folders on the external HD. Subfolders not included ...No miniature is coming up ...Thanks a lot!Patrick

Just installed Bridge 2021 and the desktop folder is blank, shows no contents.All the other areas are accessable and show contents except the desktop folder.What the heck?Anyone else experience this?Anyone know how to make the desktop folder ACTIVE?

Some years back I successfully used a couple of startup scripts in Adobe Bridge (pre-CC days) which allowed me to import and otherwise wrangle photo metadata. I'm now trying to do something siilar using Bridge 2021. Specifically I'm trying to install a script  VRA_Export-Import_2_0_2020-01-03 that facilitates the import of metadata from an Excel spreadsheet. I have placed the .jsx file in the startup scripts folder, but after restarting the app I got no prompt to allow the script to run, even though it shows (and is enabled) in the Preferences > Startup scripts window. I am not entirely clear as to how the script should be run from Bridge (Tools?), but in any case I see no sign of it in any of the menus. Can anyone advise whether that script should run in CC Bridge 2021 or whether I'm chasing a lost cause. If that's the case, can anyone recommend alternative solutions? I know Exiftool is an option but from previous experience I find that a bit of a mind bender. Gratef

Also, the filter isnt working  - Clearly there are 16 files with this filter, but only 13 are showing - the others are not hidden or anything and appear when I turn the filter off...Nice update Adobe, you never cease to impress. 

Hi, since I updated the application to Bridge 2021, the app uses a huge amount of CPU time. This also results in an increase in the temperature of the Mac (iMac 27 late 2017, i5, 24 GB of ram), and the massive use of RAM.Why? Possible resolutions?

I'm looking for guidance on the best way to export basic metadata to a .CSV file from Bridge. I don't know anything about command line, so I'm trying to avoid using exiftool, a resource that's been recommended for this issue previously. I'd rather avoid having to teach myself how to troubleshoot an entire additional skillset. The big issue I'm running into is my keywords are divided under sub-headings (so it will read Locations > Honduras > Tegucigalpa) and when I try to export using Lightroom, all it picks up is "Locations" with no information further down. I would prefer the export to include subheadings by kind of any means, so if that means it just reads "Tegucigalpa" or it reads the full path, either is fine, I'm just trying to avoid giving myself more work on this export. Thanks for the help!

Greetings, running BR 21 and PS 21, OSX Catalina 10.15.7. Doing product shots of t-shirts, shooting in Sony ARW (raw).  I do most of the edits in Camera Raw within BR, then to remove the back ground I open in PS.  Quick selection, erase background, great.  Now I need the save function that is within the Camera Raw popup that allows me to save images in jpeg, constraining the longest edge to 2500px, and size to 500kb.  I'm saving these images for my website, Squarespace says these are the best settings for that.   Is there a way to reimport photos from PS back to BR, so I can export in a manner with which I am familiar?  Or is there a better way to do this in PS.  The end goal is to use Bridge to quickly/easily make edits to large product photosets, remove the background so it is pure white, and export as a jpeg with specific settings to the pixels on the long end and maximum size constraints. Actionable responses are appreciated.&n

My iMac (2017 - 10.15.7 - 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 - 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4) is constantly crashing while I'm editing photos in ACR and using Bridge.  Everything is up to date on both the computer and Creative Cloud.  It happens constantly and shuts down my entire computer several times in a short time span.  Which is making editing impossible. It's gotten increasingly worse over the last few weeks.  More than enough memory available. It happens when I have anywhere from 5-20 images open in ACR.  I had a complete new hard drive upgrade installed earlier this year because it was happening so often then as well.  The computer shop couldn't find the issue but recommended the upgrade.  I've tried resetting bridge and emptying the caches.  I'm at a loss and hoping someone can shed some light. Below is the crash report: panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7f91fbaa8d): watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd in 97 seconds (112 total c

Anybody else experiencing issues with the new video thumbnail view?  The system crashes every time and frankly, it's a real pain because it doesn't work.  I just need bridge to sort so I can rename.    anybody know how to turn off this incredibly annoying "update"off?

Bridge appears to be auto applying a preset to all of the images on my memory card when I open it up. How do I undo this? I have not set it to do this and I have never had it happen before.

I've been using Adobe bridge ever since CS4 and have never had this problem before. Until they went from CC version 8 to 9, I mean. I have searched though the preferences and set my catch to over 1000MB but it helped nothing. It is to great inconvenience thta I can not see the picture, but only a PSD DOC thumbnail! Are their any others who have the same problem or had, and have found a solution?

After the latest update, Camera Raw doesn't want to launch from inside Bridge.  I get an error message saying its not compatilbe with this version of Bridge.  All software is updated to the most current version.  Any help is appreciated.

Can anyone please advise how I can index my Keyword templates into separate folders? When I crerate a new Keyword template it just joins a long list of previous templates, I would like to have separate catagorised folders but can't see a way to do this?I already have a keyword folders from a previous programme (Photomechanic), I can access these folders from Bridge but cannot find a way to add any new templates to them either!Any assistance, in simple terms please, will be much appreciated. 

When I select an entire folder of files and batch rename, the status bar that loads only gets part way before it goes away and somehow deselects a portion of the batch so those files are not renamed. It's also, in some instances, changing the file extension -- mostly from jpg to mov or sometimes jpeg. This file extension issues happens mostly with iphone jpgs (not HEIC). The arbitrary deselection of batch rename files happens with all file types.  Batch rename and metadata is a common daily thing I do and this has never happened before.  I have updated my software and restarted multiple times yet the problem persists.  

Hello, a curious question as I cannot get any help from Adobe on this issue.  I have been running Creative suite CS6 on a Windows 7 laptop successfully for at least 5 years.  I just upgraded to a new Windows 10 laptop and installed CS6, which appears to be working fine.  However, Bridge on my new computer will not open CR2 raw files, whereas I never had that issue on my older laptop.   I downladed and installed the DNG converter ver 13 and it will convert my CR2 files so they can be opened, but that is an extra step, of course.   Any thoughts on why Bridge on my new computer will not open the CR2 files?   Thanks,

For years I have used Bridge to sort and organize my raw files, open multiple .cr2 files to edit and color correct, then export. Today I was editing a bunch of photos and I did my normal thing, but then after editing 100 photos or so I hit done, and none of the changes show up in the preview panel. If i click individual (or even a group) of .cr2 files and open them in Camera Raw then my changes are there, but for some reason they don't show up in my preview panel so I can see what I've done. The only thing different I did today than in the past is earlier today I cleared my cache of old images. But that was long before I even imported these photos into my computer so why would that even effect it? Any help?

I have a problem. I have imported over 1000 photos on my Mac. However, the date has been overwritten with the current modification date. In the meta info I can still see the creation date and my question would be the following:Can I use Bridge to automatically overwrite the modification date with the creation date? (see the screenshot)Or are there possibly other tools for this?I look forward to hearing from you. 

hello,since the last upgrade, small previews for AI and PSD do not display : only the AI or PSD icon.I've tried to clear the cache but it didn'yt workThank you for your helpSD

Since the last major update, the videos are played back automatically in the thumbnail view.But the double-click no longer opens the video in the normal video player.Why? Is this a bug? Pressing Enter on the thumbnail works as expected: The video opens in the player. The double click does nothing (the autoplayback in thumb is started on mouse over).

Sorry, but I have to comment.  Just like the latest Camera Raw makes my operation takes several times longer, so does a change in Bridge.  It seems like these developers are bored and have so much time that they have to increase the workload on others.So I have shot a lot of Arthropod specimens.  I don't want the date shot, but the date the subject was collected.  So I could just overwrite the IPTC date or paste it in.  But it came to my attention that there was still the other date under camera data.  Formerly I could just copy and paste the above data in a couple of seconds.  Now I have to click and a menu comes up where I could go back decades on a calender, or shorter, about 15 typing or arrow steps, taking 30" compared to 1 step, 1" to 2 ".  15x as long multiplied by hundreds of images.  And I don't even want a time but have to accept noon, which is wrong.  What are they thinking?  

I upgraded to the latest versions of After Effects and Bridge ... and now I can't move the files that I view in Bridge.
