Bridge

On older versions of Bridge, the Photo downloader used to retain it's settings and copyright metadata text. It seems that the 2020 version doesn't. Is this a bug or is there something in the settings that I have to check?

I open RAW files in Bridge, I don't use Lightroom. I recently updated to the most current version of Camera RAW. How to I convert a RAW file to a TIFF file? (I hope I make sense.) Thank you.

Two problems now that I'm in Catalina. I must have clicked something wrong. First, Bridge is not showing  my desktop - I can get to folders on my external drive, but nothing shows on the desktop.  Also, now I know I clicked something wrong because when I go into a folder, I get screen images, not thumbnails.

Hi,My Bridge preview panel turned blank and it's been like this for a week or so-refreshing or re-installing the software don't seem to help. Any ideas how to fix it? Thank you!

How do I add metadata through Bridge on images stored in my Adobe Cloud library. It seems my metadata panel wont even open when I am linked to a library image. It does open when linked to images on my desktop. I have looked everywhere. Please help!

I started having problems with some batch/actions, going from CS6 to CC.The first stage places something on the image, but running on an image in Bridge yields:"The command place is not available."It looks like it is looking for it on a hard drive that is no longer connected. But if I open the image and go to actions, and choose the same action it runs the macro.  Though it saves somewhere I don't know, so it is better I go stepwise and stop short of saving, saving manually instead.. Also wondering if I can copy parts of one action to another.

If I change the date created on 1200 images via Bridge, why is it when I import the same photos into Lightroom the Date hasnt changed. Is there an option I'm missing that will write changes into the xmp that can be read by Lightroom?  Thank you PS: Also any changes to Date Created I make in Bridge do not reflect in Photomechanic either. 

To start with, List View is for displaying as much information as possible on the screen.  The latest version has unnecessary padding on each row, and puts a black border around the thumbnail, rendering them USELESS at the size they are typically shown in this view.  It REALLY helps to have both the thumbnail AND the filename when searching for an image.  The goal of a software update should not be to make Bridge look more "up to date" or stylish.  In the case of List view the designer should have asked himself this question: "How can I present the most information, in the most readable format to the user?"  Please fix this, or give us an option to eliminate the padding and the black border around the thumbnail. While you're at it, what was wrong with the larger color bars for labels?  They were PERFECT, and much easier to see, than those little dots.  This image shows the 2019 Bridge version on the left, compared with the 2017 version on the right.

I used to use the Load into Photoshop layers for numerous tasks. I haven't worked on a project in a while and I went to today and found that my Photoshop options are gone?? I am really disliking the many major changes to Bridge. Is this still possible? I see place into inDesign is there but no Photoshop layers. 

Hi, I have Dr. Brown's Image Processor Pro installed in Bridge. I'm sure some of you know about this plug in.   I've been using it for months without any problems. However, it stops working and shows me a message like this.  Can anyone know why this is happening? By the way, I doubt just re-installing this plug in fix the issue. I feel it's more complicated. Thank you for your tip in advance 

I am using Bridge 10.1 on an iMac (running High Sierra). I had updated Camera Raw to the latest version and the following problem did not occur (see below). However I did not like the new CR interface and was told I could reinstall the previous version which I did and am now running. However, when I make adjustments in CR, they do not show up in the thumbnails in Bridge. If I click on those files to bring them back into CR, the previous adjustments do show up. Another problem is that the CR interface, when quit, does not go back to Bridge, but returns to PS so I have to go find Bridge again to see it.Any solultions? By the way; using PS version 21.2.1 and CR 12.2.1.417

Hi, This has been happening for quite a while now (probably about a year or two) and not just in the latest version of Bridge, I've always just thought it was my work computer but having to work from home due to Covid-19 I have realised it's not and it also happens on my home computer as well. This only happens when I am on the desktop tab, everywhere else it's OK. As you can see from the attached image, I occasionally get duplicated icons, it's usually either my external HDD or ownCloud - it can also end up being duplicated so I end up having over 100 items even though there is usually around 12 items on my desktop. I'm not sure if this has been reported before as I could only see posts relating to duplicating files. Any help in resolving this would be great or if you need to to provide more info, please let me know. Thanks Matt

The first issue I immediately became aware of with this latest update to Bridge is that the settings for the Photo Downloader do not "stick."Each time I download a set of images I have to go through all the checkboxes ticking and unticking as required.  Previously these settings were always remembered.Has anybody else noticed this or am I experiencing a personal glitch?

Can anyone tell me where the photoshop option has gone from the tools drop down.

So I'm trying to see the thumbnails that I used to view my photos in bridge so I can easily organize them into folders. But the problem is that they are not showing up, but they are showing under windows explorer. Is their a way to fix this. I posted a screenshot to show it. It was showing in my previous build, I just built one the last week with a better processor, I'll post the build below. AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core ProcessorGigabyte X570 GAMING X ATX AM4 MotherboardG.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory480 Gig SSD

I'm really frustrated at this stage.I've a small folder with renders that I open in bridge, re-arrange the order manually, select all,batch rename with Text prefix + Sequential number - Three digits.Bridge is constantly re-organising the order from my selection (wrongly) and even screwing up and changing thumbnail previews from what they actually are. I've updated Bridge, reset preferences and purged cache on multiple occasions. I've tried turning sofware rendering on and off.Nothing works. Really annoyed over this simple operation screwing up all the time! Any advice before I go looking for alternative software? Thanks. MSI Intel core I732GB RamNvidia GTX 1070

I can view one or the other, but not both at the same time. Preview panel used to appear above the metadata panel, but now their tabs are side by side. I can't get the metadata panel or tab to move down.  

When using Bridge 2020, it frequently quits. I get an error message telling me that it "unexpectedly quit" (I guess I knew that) and I submit a crash report and click "Reopen". It reopens and I can work on a few photos and then it will do it again, and again....etc. The usual things like restarting haven't solved the problem. Bridge 2019 works perfectly - never crashes and if I double-click on an image, it will open it in PSCC 2020, so that solution is working for me, but I'd like to get Bridge 2020 to work. Has anyone had this problem, or have any suggestions? Thanks very much.

I moved other windows out of the way.  Gone, can't figure how to get back, and move around an image..

I need to remove the EFIX metadata from a few images that are large TIFFS in CMYK. I can't seem to export them with the proper metadata (IPTC only) in any Adobe program while deleting the camera EFIX metadata and maintaing the CMYK color space. Can I do this in Bridge or any other Adobe program?! Thanks!

I imported/exported my Keywords panel to my desktop. My supervisor is able to import/export my Keywords I created to her desktop. Problem is, why aren't the images I've attached to each of my Keywords showing up for her as well? Am I able to do this or does my supervisor need to access my account in order to get both my Keywords and images attached? 

Hi,since some days I have massive problems to convert a Nef-file. Starting from the newest Bridge to Photoshop.After loading the Nef it is not possible to use the sliders to the file, after using the first slider with very slow reaction, the others do not work and the programm doesn´t react.Sorry my english is a bit rudimentary

I can't remember how to get this script back in Bridge, after technician updated to solve some other problems and its gone again.  I spent many hours, adding descriptions, keywords, location and much other data to thousands of files, ready to extract for my database and find the custom metadata extractor is gone from Bridge again.

Hi,  I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having. Adobe Bridge (2020, 10.1, 10.0, 9.1) will not show thumbnails or previews of files on my mac using Catalina. To try and fix the problem I have:-clicked to view ‘thumbnails’-pressed View > Refresh-cleared and compacted my cache-uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge-installed older versions of the program-installed older versions of After Effects and Premier Pro-reset the maximum size to be 100x larger than any file I have-reset my settings (preferences, standard workspaces, and purged entire thumbnail cache) What can I do to view the thumbnails and previews of files that I am trying to work with? Thanks!

Does anybody know a way to create an Output PDF from Bridge that would include keywords along with filename and image? Is there a script or extension to do this?
