Bridge

I am using a 2015 Macbook Pro with Big Sur installed and I have recently noticed some serious lag on my computer. IT at my office took a look into it and noticed Bridge was using an insane amount of my CPU. I've done all the things suggested in other threads. I've cleared the cache and changed all the preview settings yet I'm still noticing significant lag and spikes in the program's CPU usage. My computer's fan is going like crazy any time the program is open. The only time it calms down is when I completely close out Bridge. I've found Bridge very useful for file management over the years but now it seems like I may have to stop using it entirely. I can't have one program eating up the CPU all day long, it seriously impedes my workflow. I've looked at several other threads about this issue and there seems to be no concrete fix that exists beyond these preview settings changes. Nor does it seem like Adobe is doing much to look into the issue. I'm really hoping for

I recently tried to do a batch rename in bridge, but in doing so I can no longer open my files using any application on my computer.  The images were a .cr2 file, now they are undreadable.  I'm not even sure how to find out what the file extension is.  Any ideas how to change them back??? thanks!

Hi, I am trying to move from MediaPro to Bridge and running into problems with the keywords. In MediaPro, I was able to have a list of keywords separated by commas in the controlled vocabulary so all the keywords would be added at once. When I import the keywords to Bridge, it does not recognize them as separate values and puts a quotation mark around them. Is there some way to accomplish this in Bridge with it recognizing each item separated by a comma or semicolon as a unique keyword? I have tried both commas and semicolon with the same result. This is what my import file looks like:I need to be able to attach the scientific name along with the common names easily like this.It looks fine in the Keywords panel:But then the quotes are added in the metadata panel:I've been trying to find any solution to this and unable since this isn't a typical nesting situation of keywords but needs to be a specific list like this. Any insight is appreciated!Thank you!

Hi Folks,I'm using Bridge 2021, 11.0.2.123 on a with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7.Thumbnails for some photos in the same folder and same drive have been rotated while others remain in the correct orientation. The rotated images can't be returned to the correct orientation (neither the rotate buttons nor the shortcut work), although they open correctly in ACR or Photoshop. Even if I open a file in ACR, with the correct orientation, and click "Done" the thumbnail remains incorrect.I've reset the preferences (which meant having to reorganize the hundreds of thumbnails again) but that didn't solve the problem. I didn't clear the cache with that reset ... figuring that the problem was with Bridge randomly rotating the images in the first place.Has anyone experienced and solved this issue?Thank you for the help.

I have recently decided to give up trying to use the 'Headline' field due to realizing the online industry has been built around the 'Title' field, and am moving my metadata between those fields. Someone please tell me there is a way to show the Title under a thumbnail in Bridge's Content panel?In Preferences > Thumbnails > Details > Additional Lines of Thumbnail Metadata there is no Title field in the dropdown list.I am on Bridge version 11.0.2.123 on Win x64.

Can not open Adobe Brige in my Photography Plan since upgrading my Apple Mac to Big Sur 11.0.1 operating system. Adice please.

When using Bridge 2019 and exploring photos on my external hdd ant entering some random folder (often old small size photos) my internal drive starts to drain on space. I cannot stop it even by exiting Bridge and when down to 0, yeah, then the computer can't work and it completely freezes. Hard reset is the only option. I have the latest Bride by this date and using Sierra (10.12.6) with my 1 year old MbPro Touchbar.What can be the problem here? Hdd-drain from Adobe is standard I'm afraid but it can't just continue drain until crash.

I have folders of image files that I want to resize & send to people for their printing.  I've found that resizing to 4"x6"x300Res seems to be less confusing for many people who receive my images.  I know how to batch resize in Photoshop's image processor, but inches isn't an option provided for the resized images.  I haven't been able to figure out how to batch resize in Bridge or to express output dimensions as inches in Photoshop.  This is a major problem for me.

Finally a export to pdf for sharing it with colleagues. My question is if i have already the files preview from bridge avaiable i will import them into excel and combine for my use. How to generate thumbnails files? I looked into cache folder but it is empty

When viewing multiple items in preview mode, sometimes the loupe on one image will overlap the loupe view in another image (screenshot attached). How can I get the loupe to rotate so the views don't overlap? Ever now and then it will change orientation on its own, but I haven't been able to make it rotate when I want it to, or control the orientation it opens up in inititally.

Hello, Sine a few days Bridge is very slow on my PC  windows 10 - 12 gb ram. All other programs works fine.I tried all the sugestions but not resolved.  It takes time to open a menu or to select multiple pictures. I photoshow and camera raw I have no problems.  I have delete an reinstal to version 10.1.2.( on my old laptop I do not have the problem.  Any suggestion ??

After I batch rename my raw files they disappeared and the files I renamed are jpeg only. I also tried doing the same with jpeg files and as soon as they were renamed they disappeared. The folder became empty. This is very frustrating. Have you experienced the same? Do you know if need to change a setting?

I've been trying to do this for years and thought I'd ask again - can you filter/sort by exposure compensation in Bridge? I don't see it listed as an option in the filter panel.  But Bridge knows the EV value for each image because it displays it in the metadata panel. So.... can I sort by it? Thanks

disclaimer: I believe I haven't grasped yet the basic concepts of sharing and file management. let's start with the basics.We have 10 people with full CC subscriptions, with a library of few thousands photos.We need to share this library, including meta-data.The pics could then be used in an Adobe project (PS, AI, InD), or downloaded to use elsewhere (eg: powerpoint). I would like then to have an interface where I can search images from this library, based on metadata, proprieties.[nice to have ] I would also like to have auto-recognition, a là google photos (face recognition, colors, environment, location), and search by that.I would then like to have a web based interface for at least searching/downloading.What is the best channel/tool to manage such shared libraries ? is it bridge, or am I looking in the wrong place? (Elements? Lightroom?)If it's bridge, does it cover all the above, or should it be integrated with other services?thanks in advance

It's time for me to once again vent my frustration with Bridge [2021].  Ah, the good old days of Bridge CS5... I am [still] on MacOs Mojave (I generally avoid OS upgrades until the "last minute" as I rarely gain anything worthwhile while risking breaking my workflow). While the Bridge 2020 became relatively stable and usable (albeit with glaring ergonomic problems discussed in another one of my threads), the 2021 "upgrade" is just a pain in the a**e.  With the disasterous release of Photoshop 2021 (where it could no longer even save a file!!!) and it taking some time to be fixed and stable, I was compelled to keep Ps and Br for 2020 and 2021where I would wait until there was a proper fix for Ps 2021 before uninstalling Ps 2020. Anyways. I have installed/uninstalled Bridge 2021 a couple of times to see if it would fix its unreasonable apetite for CPU - even once it has seemingly calculated the thumpnails for a folder, it continues to hog the CPU for at leas

Running Bridge 11.0.1.109 on Big Sur 11.2.3 For some time now when I copy or move files using Bridge, the progress bar advances at most 5% to 10% and no further and does not reflect the actual progress of the action. It does go away when the action is complete but I have to open the finder to see just how things are progressing. Bridge's indicator is not reliable at all.  

in Bridge CC2018 wurden Einstellungen wie Metadaten Vorlage - erweitertes Dialogfeld - Unterordner erstellen usw. von der letzten Verwendung gespeichert - in Bridge 21 muss immer wieder alles neu definiert werden . . . kann man dass umstellen ??

Hello, I've been using bridge for over 10 years now. This issue is a new one for me and has been happening for the last year or so. It's random but often enough to be a nuisance. When renaming a folder, the renaming quits part of the way through and hold with the renaming dialog box sticking. I have to force quit Bridge and then my files are partly named and the rest are an adobe extension. Then I have to manually reorder the images and then rename again.             

How do I completely disble stacking in Bridge? It is stacking files that don't belong together. I want to turn if off completely.

Hi, I'm having trouble finding out something that should be simple.I need to make a contact sheet using Br, where both file name and dimensions can be seen below each picture. Can't find a way so if anyone does, please help.If not available, Adobe, please update Br to be more efficient as doing the whole process manually is time consuming and technology should be here to help, right?🙂

While on my last trip, I accidently setup my camera to take Raw + small jpg. No big deal, that isn't too much memory, so I didn't really worry about it. When I got home, the jpg files were copied to my hard drive along with the raw files. So, I went to delete the jpgs and I realized something. Bridge runs very fast when it's drawing thumbnails and previews of small jpg images. I got to thinking. Wouldn't it be cool to make a script that would take your raw+jpg from the camera and convert each pair into a stack with the jpg on top. This would enable bridge to run much more quickly since it wouldn't need to render all those raw image thumbs and previews. Hmmm....now where to start....I looked around at the scripting language for photoshop. since I have written a little bit of javascript, I thought I would start there, but I can't find where the stack property is kept in metadata or the DOM. Any ideas of where I might turn from here?
