Bridge

How do we copy or move only images that we have selected (with labels) located in a substructure (subfolders) (keeping the structure of folders in the new location)? I see that we can copy/move selected images in a specific folder easily with the help of the filter, but is it possible to copy/move only labeled images in a tree structure? Is there any way this would be possible without doing it subfolder by subfolder?

I am trying to edit my photos in the Camera Raw program within Bridge. Every time I use to function it delays so long that it freezes up. For example, I am using the spot removal tool. I click on the spot, I get colorful wheel of death then the action applies. It should apply right as I select the area. What used to take me just a few seconds to edit is now taking me minutes to complete. The whole program is lagging and has progressively gotten worse as the week has gone on. I have uninstalled all my adobe programs and reinstalled them and there is still no improvements. I am using macOS Mojave 10.14.6 as I am terrified to upgrade to Catalina with all the issues I've heard about recently.  Of course this happens when I have hundreds of photos to retouch for a major deadline. Can someone please help me?

In previous versions of Bridge when I moved photos and there were mulitple images that were locked it would ask if I was sure to move those (yes or no) plus there would be a checkbox "apply to all".That checkbox is gone and that ticks me off enormously.Can I get it back somehow?

Hi, in the new Bridge 2020, the previews colors of .psd especially is absolutely wrong, to much green and shadows are very dark. No problem in PS. That's absolutely not useful.I tried to reinstall Bridge 2019, and no colors problems if i refresh the preview with a purge of the cache of the file. If i go back to Bridge 2020 and i reflesh the preview, the colors become wrong again. So the preview module of Bridge 2020 is absolutely broken, you need to keep the one from 2019 version.

Dear all, I'm creating a custom metadata extension for Bridge and I've a little question..I want to be able to add localized metas. The output would be :  <dc:description> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li xml:lang="fr_FR">Description en fr</rdf:li> <rdf:li xml:lang="oc_OC">Description en oc</rdf:li> </rdf:Alt> </dc:description> Showing example with DC but would be applied to a custom namespace..Using the CC2014 UI SDK and did not find anything about that. Or missed it 😛Thanks a lot ! 

Hi, there About bridge's zoom function,Because the “magnifying glass” function is difficult to use, I want Adobe to make improvements. It was another product, but righthemisphere's "Deep exploration" was easy to use.(now, SAP Visual Enterprise Author) or, If there is a good way to zoom in and zoom out comfortably, please let me know. 

Hi, My images in Bridge are all in the Hidden folder. I cant get it back. Is there a way for me to stop my images from going into the hidden folder. 

Seem to be unable to do clean install of Bridge. What I have right now seems to have some corruptions. I use Revo Uninstaller which removes (I thought) 100% of any software. I want to start clean without any old preferences or old metadata settings in the new install. I clicked no to carrying over preferences and settings every time a popup window asked. The new install is the old install, everything followed! The problems the corruptions are giving me are I use to select a metadata template before downloading from the Flash Card. Now, I select before downloading and then, after downloading, I have to highlight all thumbnails and select the template again for that templete to work. Bridge just decides to download with whatever template it wants. Second problem this corruption does is I used to be able to click once on a thumbnail to work on it. I could double-click to open in Photoshop. Now, if I highlight a thumbnail anywhere (frame or image or file name) Bridge launches Photoshop, la

This is a pretty minor annoyance but it's been coming up for me a lot so I thought I'd post about it. I'm running Bridge 2020, though the same issue existed in 2019, on an imac running osx high sierra. This only occurs when I have multiple windows open in bridge.When I right-click an image and select purge cache for selection, after the thumbnail refreshes if I then immediately hit space to see the image full-screen, bridge will switch to a different open window and show whatever image is selected in that window at full-screen instead.

It used to be that when I hit space to preview an image full-screen, the mouse would disappear when the image came up. At some point that stopped happening, was this a change in Bridge or did I inadvertently change a setting?

When I batch rename selected files in Bridge, it's not renaming some files at the end of the batch. So I'll re-select those ones and try and batch rename them, and it'll do rename a few of them and then leave off some at the end again. It's also changing some JPEG files to CR2 files when I batch rename. 

I've posted a few days ago regarding my Bridge 2020 taking forever to load previews. Seems like the reason it's taking forever is because the previews are HR. I tried switching to Preferred Embeded but it won't switch, even though it says its on Preferred Embeded I still see all the HR previews loading hence it takes forever to generate previews. Any help would be appreciated.  Tried all the obvious fixes, nothing is working. I'm on Win 10, 64GB Ram, Inter iCore7, 6GB Ram video  So far tried rolling back to Version 19 of Bridge and PS, same result.  Thanks

Since updating to Bridge 2020, I have encountered nothing but problems.  Before Bridge 2020, I could open a folder of images in a few seconds.  Now, it takes three to six minutes to open a folder. Then, the process of generating previews (which previously took a minute or two  at most) essentially is never complete.  The program keeps telling me that it is generating previews for the next ten to fifteen minutes, at which point I give up waiting and try to open the images I need in Camera Raw.    This is usually a mistake, because about half the time, when I process the image I want and try to open it in Adobe Photoshop, my whole computer goes nuts. Bridge freezes; Camera Raw freezes.  I wait for five minutes or so.  The freeze is still on.  Bridge says that it is "not responding."   I try to close Bridge and Raw.  Nothing doing.   I go into Task Manager and try to close Bridge and Raw.  Nothing doing. 

Hi, the new version of Bridge is really bad. I have no idea how that program got passed Beta tests? Adobe, do you need help with Project Management? Feel free to give me a call 😉 Anyway, to the issue. When opening the Photo Downloader and selecting "Browse...", the navigation tree is corrupt. Many icons for different locations such as Documents, Downloads, etc. are replaced with black square boxes. Also, I can't navigate to my network mapped drives as Bridge just crashes when selecting one. Finally, like others before me pointed out, settings aren't saved.These issues makes the program unusable. How do I revert back to 2019? /Andreas

Hello anyone at Adobe please help. I am paying a lot of money here!Issue#1Since I updated to Bridge CC 2017 it is nearly useless. When editing images I jump from image to image by using the arrow keys of my keyboard. It takes about 2-3 seconds to jump to the next image.This is horrible. Also starting up bridge takes way too loon.And YES I have already tried to reset all preferences and have disabled all scripts: NO CHANGES!Please help!Issue#1Another thing! Smooth scrolling has been killed by Adobe years ago on Mac PLEASE FIX this too.Why why is this even an issue Adobe.Cheers!DanI am running on macOS 10.12.4Mac Pro (late 2013)Processor 3,5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5RAM 16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3Graphics Card AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB

When I perform an action through Tools/Photoshop/Batch/(action), the new saved file loses its star ratings. If I perform an action by just opening a file in Photoshop and saving it, the star ratings remain. What's going on with Batch, and how do I fix it?I've been using Batch to do various Photoshop actions for years and it's always kept the ratings. Then I updated to 2020. Now ratings disappear.OSX Mojave (10.14.1)Photoshop/Bridge 2020

After update to 2017 on W10 no more thumbnails for Canon mxf files.In other words cannot play any video.Anyone?

So everything was working fine with bridge until yesterday, when I try to preview RAW files (.NEF) the preview has some weird artifacting on it. Thought it was a problem with my graphics card but no other app does it and everything else works just fine. Any clues as to what might be happening? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice and it doesnt seem to do anything. Also my computer is new so this problem looks like a software issue.  

My 2012 LATE Mini is running AI CC as just purchased two weeks ago. Mini is running 16 Gigs of RAM and  has a 500 Gig SSD My good friend who uses PS has been after me to downlaodd and install Bridge to help me find files faster than manually scrolling and searching. Can anyone send me a link to the proper version of Bridge since my OS prevents me from simply downloading the version featured on Adobe's site. I use AI and an older version of PS to do repetitive engineering/art projects so my knowledge of AI is very specific and limited. All I wanted to do with Bridge is greatly reduce the time it takes to find old files created in AI w/o having to open the files........most of them done in earlier versions of AI, mostly 5.1 CS and 6 CS...... I want to be sure that I'm installing the correct version of Bridge for my OS. I'm too old and am retired, don't want to have to keep the OS upgraded to the latest and createst from Apple much less Adobe and al of my other appls.&

Can someone please give me a basic discription of what Bridge is and why to use it? I'm a photographer and have read up on it plenty but still unsure why I should consider adding it to my workflow. In the past, I just proof what I want to import into LR and just import the rest.... 

After the completion of a series of AI files I would like to see them as a group. To see how they work as a group Bridge is ideal. However there seems no consistency as to how a file is displayed in Bridge. Same size artboards etc come out differently with different borders etc. Any Ideas?

Hello, Since reinstalling my Mac and install Adobe 2020 - I can''t preview videos in Bridge. I hear the sound, but I only get a blank document in the Preview Pan. Help me out here 🙂

Is is possible to lock rating stars or labels so that any other users can´t delete it? Even when they open and re-save the file?Or is there any other feature that can be locked this way? Most preferably a feature that can be set in bulk and filtered in Bridge.Thanks

Hello forum.Since this morning my RAW previews have suddenly disappeared. I can empty the cache as often as I want, the thumbnails show no more images. Who has an idea what could be going on?Cheers Gerhard P.S. (I'm using Bridge 8.1 / don´t like Version 9)
