Bridge

In my older version of Bridge I could rename / renumber all image files in a folder, open another folder to do the same and the starting number would be sequential. This is no longer the case with Bridge CC version 10.0.2.131. For some reason when I open the new folder and select all the "sequence number" has been increased by 4 or 6 or some other arbitrary number forcing me to go back to the previous folder to see what the highest number was then manually inserting the next sequential number in my new folder with images to be renamed.  Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?Thanks, John / Airpix

I searched and searched through Bridge and found NO way to save a custom sort (manual) with a name (or a collection if you prefer). I created a manual custom sort in a folder and ran a PS action to reduce the size of each photo and put them into a new folder. When I opened the new folder the sort was alpha, not like the old folder. I now have to manually sort over 300 photos in new folder. Is there a way to do this and if not, can a script be written for it. I create slide shows and no of hundreds of examples of how I would use this. It is really labor intensive to put the photos in a special order and then have no way to save it for future use. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. If I have to pay someone to do this, I will. thanks.

Hello, I'm wondering if there is a way to share Bridge keywords across multiple users via a live document. Ideally, multiple users would be able to edit the live doc and then other users would be able to download it and import it. The goal would be to have multiple users using the same set of keywords at one time, without having to constantly export their keywords. For example, if Users A, B, C, and D are all adding keywords at the same time, they would add their respective keywords to the live document and then all download and import it periodically.  It's my understanding that a text file using the tab key to create a hierachy should work, but I am having trouble setting this up via a live document. I have tried using Google docs. The keywords are tabbed correctly when I download the .txt file, but when I import into Bridge, the hierarchy is completely lost. Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

ok i got a lot of Folders and i need to change the Metadata of all the pictures insinde them. its folder>folder>Images. can i change the data without open the first folder?

I spent about an hour creating keywords for Illinois.  I made a parent folder, USA, and then sublocations, such as Chicago, and then sublocations in it.  The Master Folder was Locations.  Then I noticed there was already a default Places folder.  I decided to move the USA, with all its subfolders to it.  I knew it would cause some problems and I'd have to do some re-checking in the new location and deleting in the old location, but now it has become an impossible situation.  If I check off one in under places and uncheck in Locations and delete that subplace, it also unchecks under USA, and if I check again, the sublocation comes back, and with all the parent folders.  Its like something that won't die.  They are like Elementary Particles, where affecting one affects the other. I changed an abbreviation in the subfolder to rename spelling it out and then I could delete the old one.  I thought I would do the same with IL, replacing with Illin

I am seeing numerous problems with Batch Renaming of files - all seem to be hinged on the ability of Bridge to maintain the filename list correctly. The problems that I see manifest in multiple ways. I have a directory of images, some of which have the same base name but different extentions (eg. HEIC and jpg). In attempting to rename a sub-set of these images I will sometimes see only some of the files renamed and it stops short of the full list of files but the sequence number gets advanced anyway - so it can stop at image # 15 but the sequence number got advanced to 18...... so it sees the filecount but didn't process the file itself. Other times it will see two files which have the same basename but one is HEIC and the other is JPG - it then gives each of them the same basename with the same sequence number. I see other oddities as well but these two manifestations likely identify where the root problem lies - and this root problem is likely the cause of all of the problems that I

Yesterday, I just learned I could stack the hundreds of jpegs created accidentally when in video mode on the Nikon Z7, when shutter is pressed instead of the record button.  I thought that was pretty neat I could play at various speeds.  But then today I did my renumbering according to my system, using Bridge rename.  I start off with the last number in my database for a camera, eg 3026352, and then renumber.  But then I realized the stacked ones didn't so number. I opened and they had numbers with no relation to the first in the stack.  In the whole day folder, they had numbers starting with 0, up to over 500.  So I opened all the stacks and now sorting by number would be wrong if I wanted to keep the order, so I sorted by date.  I thought that went well and thought it didn't matter if I did all the rest of the folders by date instead of filename.  But then, after I did 10 more day folders, and started to move all to a single folder before going

Hello,I created a custom action in Photoshop (added a logo).  I then selected some picutes in Bridge (V 11.0.0.83),  then Tool -> Photoshop -> Batch.  A window appeared asking me to "Install latest version of Photoship to continue".  I logged in to my Adobe account but it says everything is up to date.  Any idea what is the problem?  My old Bridge/Photoshop work perfectly with this batch process.  Thanks!Joseph

Hi everyone. I have Photoshop CS5 and the version of Bridge does not have the Preferences > Interface menu option to increase the size of the text. I'm very proficient in Bridge and use it constantly - but the tiny font for the keywords is driving me crazy - and my eyes are wearing out from trying to peer at the tiny font.Does anyone know which version of Bridge has the Interface option and can it be purchased as a separate program - and if so, will it then still work with Photoshop CS5?  Thanks for any suggestions.Donna

I'm suddenly unable to rename my folders in Bridge (2021). It just plain won't let me do it. Anybody had this? The appearance of the folders has changed a bit - the filename now overlaps the folder itself.

I was trying this out and from 4 shots, got a 111meg file.  I wanted to use on a website and made a jpeg, and it was only 177kb, when I wanted more like >500kb.  I tried different different image sizes and saving qualities but it always came out 177kb.  I read that it could be limited unless saved for web, but I don't see any Save for Web in CC.

I used to be able to select a set of image files (RAW or JPG) then use Auto-stack panorama/HDR in Bridge which would then allow me to produce a stitched panorama or process a set of exposure bracketed shots.  Since the last update of Bridge this has been impossible because Bridge closes immediately and an error report is produced - This has been sent to Adobe but nothing has resulted from this.I'm using an Apple iMac with more than enough RAM  Anyone else had this problem ?Anyone rectified this problem?

I just updated to Bridge 9.0 (using with PS 21.2.1).  When I do a Save/Save-As with a JPEG file, it loses the star/label ratings.  (Using Image Processor, does the same thing.)  Any fix to this?

Before the update, Bridge would use certain defaults in terms of naming the files when I imported them from my SD card (I can't remember if I set these or it just remembed what I used previously). Now I have to set the filename type I use, my "creator" ID and folder name format every time I upload. What am I missing? (I use a Mac.)

If I select several keywords files with any of them are shown. I find it strange that there seems to be no option to choose all, as in logical AND (&&). Would've improved filtering a lot. I know it's possible in advanced search and smart collection but inconvenient to use frequently compared to clicking checkboxes. 

In my case after updating Bridge went slower and with the new layout less operative.Not all the changes work for better.

I want to be able to edit multiple photos side by side so I can compare and apply lighting settings.   So my initial problem was not being able to open multiple files in Camera Raw via Photoshop. I would have Photoshop open and go Open as...> choose a TIFF file and open as Camera Raw. Opening a single photo in Camera Raw is fine, however shift-clicking multiple files in Windows Explorer wasn't working. Some google results suggested to open the files via Bridge and to shift-click them there and open in Camera Raw. Shift-clicking works fine for selecting multiple TIFF photos in Bridge - but the Open in Camera Raw option simply isn't there, see attached screenshot. Any ideas for a solution? Thanks in advance

In the 10.1.1.166 version of Bridge, I went to load multiple files into Photoshop layers the way I have in the past with Tools > Photoshop > Load files into Photoshop layers.  The new version of Bridge doesn't appear to allow me to do that anymore. Please help me with how to load several files from Bridge into Photoshop layers. 

I have always relied on the OUTPUT feature in earlier versions of Bridge to create PDF contact sheets for my clients.This feature seems to have disappeared in my current version Bridge 2020 (vers 10.11)Can anyone tell me if there is still a way to do this?Thank you Mike

Unable to use Adjustment Sliders in the latest Camera Raw Ver. 13.0.0.610. They respond only to the up and down arrows. Had no problems up until now.Is ther anything that can be done?This is Windows 10, current public build   

I love using Bridge as my main file explorer and to manage project files for my work.Using it on my local drive is great, speedy, and much more efficient than working with Windows 10 file explorer, but trying to do the same with files/folders on a network drive is painful!! 😞 I've tried using Bridge working from home with my VPN connection to a network drive and it's always been slow and laggy with accessing folders and thumbnails. When I navigate to the same network drive folder use Windows Explorer, everything is speedy as it should be, unlike Bridge. I've tried exporting a shared cache on some folders on the network drive to see if that would speed things up with Bridge, but the results are the same. Slow, slow, slow. Exporting the shared cache has little to no effect for me. I have resorted to making local copies of the folders on my harddrive and make the edits/changes I need and then recopying them back to the network. Question is this: Is there anyone that

I've been having this issue for a while - I will select a bunch of images that are similar, then ask Bridge to rename, for example "IMG" to "Cityscape". This will work once or twice and then it won't work again until I restart Bridge. At this point, 'quit' doesn't usually work either and I have to force-quit. I'll do this over and over again, renaming one set, force-quitting, restarting bridge, doing another set, etc, but it's pretty time-consuming so I'd love to figure out how to get rid of this behaviour. I've tried resetting the preferences/deleting cache and it's still doing the same thing. thanks for any help. 

I am running version 11.0.0.83 of Bridge. When I am setting up a new preset in Export I only have the option file formats of JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and DNG to choose from. Why is JPG not included?This is the one that I require and it is available elsewhere in Photoshop so why not here?

In Bridge v11.0.0.83, using the Workspace 1 panel. I use to use the zoom feature to check the focusing of an eye. I could see the iris and the eyelashes. In this new version I am seeing a small number of pixels. This amount of zoom is ridiculous and unusable. If there is a way to adjust this microscopic absurdity please advise. Also, please note that I have "Email me when someone replies" but Adobe never sends me those emails. It may be some time when I read anyone's advice. Thank you in advance for understanding the new Adobe.
