Hi there, Can anybody tell me how I can download an earlier version of Bridge please? I cannot upgrade the opperating systemon my Mac and the current version is not compatible. Thanks, Chris

I am relieved to see  others having probs with recent Bridge updates.  Thought I was losing it.  I now rate it zero to potential new users because unexpected issues can be fatal to data.  One mistake is enough.  1: since including full size thumbnails it is all SLOW even +12gb ram & big SSHD for C:  Thumbnails can take ages to visualise after an edit.  PLEASE GIVE US A BUTTON  TO KILL THIS USELESS FACILITY   2; was my ace sorting platform but untrustworthy and slow now - relocating folder content can FAIL to move several images so detailed check needed - using win file explorer now with poorer overview of images.  3: I regularly get a notice that some files "unavailable" to be moved  But can still see them and move them painlessly in Explorer but usually (not always) can open in PS and re-save from there.   Very silly.  Checking for complete file transfer -WASTES more TIME ++       4: som

How do I transfer multiple download photos from my Mac Download folder to Bridge on my Mac Pro?So far I can only transfer the photos one at a time?Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

I have a 2016 MacBookPro running Catalina. Prior to updating to Bridge 2022 I was able to see .MOV files, now they don't show up in the folders. I can see them in Finder, but not in Bridge. Anyone else having this problem? What do I need to do to be able to see them again?Mike

Desde la nueva actualización, cada vez que inporto mis tarjetas con Bridge genera carpetas duplicadas, copia varias veces los archivos...y al finalizar nunca permite eliminar los archvos de la tarjeta como hacía antes. indica que están protegidos y no es así. Al pasar a una versión anterior sí funciona, por lo que es evidente que es esta version en combinación con Monterey en Mac. Además, al abrir los RAW en photoshop tras el revelado inicial se cierra inesperadamente.  

Running CS6 13.0.1 x64, Bridge CS6 5.0.2.4 x64 on Windows 10Bridge stores its (ever-expanding) cache on my relatively small ssd under c:\users\[me]\appdata\roaming\ . I have gobs of space on rotating memory, but cannot find a way to select a drive. any suggestions would be welcome. 

Hi I tried to make some collections adding some images,but got a bit confused as theres no infoon the images whether or not the images has been added to which collection or not.Maybe theres a view for that? 

I'm forced to use Bridge CS6 since Adobe removed to function from CC. It's been working as expected until this morning. In the panel view, all my presets have disappeared and I can't make new ones as all the panel options are shaded out. If I right-click on an image and try to export, my presets are there but nothing happens when I choose one. Its happened on 2 separate installations so isn't isolated problem. I've restarted the software and PC and tried resetting the to factory default with ctl- alt on restart.If anyone can suggest a fix would be great, but please dont waste your time suggesting Image processor or raw save as an alternative. Nether help work flow and stop me using Photoshop while they are processing and arntfit for purpose. Lightroom is also unusable because of the way we work. I know its an old version but the feature is gold dust to me and saves hours per day.

tried to use Bridge for sorting my picture files from the shoot and got the problem deleting files. every time get the message "the error occurred during the delete operation. Some files may not have been processed." it doesn't matter if i use delet or move to trash options, one file or multiple files. checked all the permitions, everything 777, in privacy options on mac bridge has full access to everything. and it doesn't matter if i try to do it on external hard drive or on mac os drive. would appreciate any suggestions.

I'm working with a client that it's trying to copy SVG files from Adobe Bridge then trying to paste them into AdobeDesign to make changes but when doing this it's showing up as a code, not the image. Has anyone seen that before?

I've been using Bridge on my 32" 4K monitor for over a year now and kept hoping the scaling issue would get fixed with an update. When I go full-screen, the UI just feels like it was enlarged without any increase in resolution. It's less sharp than on my 27" iMac, which is a lower resolution.

For my work, I heavily use Bridge to organize and batch edit JPG photos. I use the Canon EOS70D but recently have been playing around with my sony mirrorless cameras. My coworker helped me set up a series of PS batch shortcuts and they've been killer with photos shot with the Canon (it's automatically re-centered). Issue I'm running into with my Sony mirrorless cameras (I've tried it with my a6000 and the ZV-E10) is when I try using the crop shortcut, the photo will crop to the top left. Is there a way to get this adjusted? Now I'm having to batch open 5-10 images and individually manually crop and save in PS and then it automatically saves in Bridge.

Today, I opened up Creative Cloud and found a raft full of updates and bug fixes to Adobe apps!  Yay, but no update to Bridge!  Either Adobe is going to support this product or they are not going to support this product!  What is it going to be? I hope the development team is reading these forum posts!  If they are paying attention, then they would realize that the current version of Bridge is not ready for Prime Time!   I rely on Bridge as a major part of my workflow! Please fix this mess of an app!   Thank you 

I am looking for a tool to organize about 10k short video clips (up to 2min long), from various travel trips, taken with a mix of dslr/mirrorless cameras.  I tried using bridge, but find it too slow (10min to load) and the keywording UI is not very smooth (too many clicks).  I m not too familiar with bridge so maybe it can be customized to for a better experience?  Is there a better tool in the adobe suite?  I tried using LR from long time ago, but ran into random errors when previewing clips before, not sure if its still an issue. 

Processing raw files (not DNG) in Camera Raw will automatically create .xmp files alongside the processed raw files, with lower-case file name extensions. When these extensions get changed to .XMP or .Xmp, all of sudden these sidecar files will appear in the Content pane of Brigde 12.0.0.234 with empty (black) thumbnails. Renaming them back to .xmp will make Bridge's behaviour switch back to normal (i. e. hiding the sidecar files in the Content pane). However, XMP sidecar files should always be hidden in Bridge's Content pane, no matter if their file name extentions are lower-case, upper-case, or mixed-case. Anyone else noticed this issue?

Previously, when I was on CS6, Bridge started up in my system tray at login, and stayed there until I needed it - and on X-ing out, it closed to my system tray. Now, Bridge is not in the system tray at all, whether it's open or minimized. It is only in the main taskbar when it's open, therefore, I can't check "Start Bridge at Login" from the system tray context menu. I have it checked in Preferences, but no matter what, it is not available in the system tray. When my system starts in the morning, it does NOT open in the background. It starts open on a monitor. This behavior started after I upgraded to the Creative Cloud from CS6 when I was still on Windows 10 late last year. I performed a clean install of Windows 11 the other day, so it's not a conflict with the older version. Is this just the way it works now, or is there a or a tweak perhaps in the registry that could fix this or is this a BUG? Thanks for any suggestions!

Hey everyone, Im looking for software that can connect to a USB camera and take videos or photos and then catagorize or add metadata to them. I wasnt sure if Bridge had this fuctionality or not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jared

When I open Bride and try to open a folder I get an error message saying:  The operation could notbe completed.An unknown operating system errorhas occurred.   If I click ok the error just keeps popping up and I have to force quit the application.  It is only happening in one folder on my external hard drive but it is the folder I have to access most frequently!   Please help!  

I posted this first in Photoshop as it was related to appdata, but continuing, is more relevant here:I keep getting spinning circles and things take so long.  I wanted to open 2 files in Bridge, while Photoshop was already open and it took 6 minutes, and to just to shadow/highlight and levels, the total time was 14 minutes.  In Bridge, most of the RAW files don't preview the crops and adjustments made in camera raw.  I went to preferences, as saw that the Camera Raw cache is listed as in C://users/myname/appdata.  but when I try to look in file manager directory tree, it shows no appdata folder.  I wanted to delete it and put it on the 😧  drive.  I purged what it showed in preferences and took about 10 or more minutes.  I am trying to make more room on my C: drive and wonder about folders such as AA5677B8DE244720A76DD5D0758E8372gs and BD7B9A37BB7E408FB57BF97CA8DB371Cgs .  Are these important.  When I try to s

I'm still getting freezes in Bridge during Batch Renames.  I'd like to include a link to a dump file, but it is over 11Gb in size and therefore too large for my free Dropbox Account to handle.  Happy to load it to your Dropbox Account though....    My machine is a PC running Windows 11, but I had this problem before upgrading from Windows 10.  I've often found that crashing Bridge using the Windows Task Manager, and then re-opening Bridge shows that the Batch Rename HAS actually completed even though the dialog box was still up and stalled part way through.

Witam mam problem. Zdjęcia automatycznie przyciemniają się po prezentacji w programie Bridge. Proszę o pomoc, jak do wielkości?

Hi folks,It appears that I have regroup images that were previously grouped when I update Bridge. True? Have I missed something that would allow the groups to be carried forward? If not, can't Adobe build this into updates?Thanks!

I am shooting product photos and they are being uploaded in real time to my dropbox folder. I'd like to have Bridge automatically select the newest photo as they are uploaded so I can preivew them on my monitor without having to walk to my computer each shot. Is there an easy way to do this besides putting a weight on my right arrow key?
