Bridge

Heyo.  I'm a new Bridge user and a pic junkie hoping to make some rapid progress organizing my vast collection.It's going to be slower going on my phone pics, but I think I can make some rapid progress on pics from friends and family from FB, which have file names incorporating their user names (looking something like AName_A134103314etc . . .).  I would like to group these pics by the person that took the pic and subdivide each person's picks by *approximate* year (doesn't need to be perfect).  Further, I want to change the file name to sequential numbers within each year.So here's what I'm doing so far.  I've gathered all my pics into one folder: ALLPICS.  Then I sort in Explorer to arrange by alpha filename.  Then in Bridge, I open ALLPICS.  I scroll to the files with the usernames.  Highlight AName_A's pics for a given year (say 2016).  Right click>Batch Rename>Move to other folder (ALLPICS/ANameA/2016);  New filename, sequenc

I can not see the thumbnails of the videos or play them in the preview window of Bridge CC2018 and yes in Bridge CS6 on an iMac (Capitan and Sierra).

I've used Lightroom CC for years, but just started using Bridge. How can I sync the keywords that I've created in Lightroom so that they show up in Bridge? In other words, I want to be able to search in Bridge for the keywords that I've added in Lightroom?

Please forgive me if this discussion already exists. I've been searching around for days and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.I work at a college and I film all sorts of events and other projects throughout the year. I also produce a variety of interview-based projects and I use the aforementioned footage for b-roll. I have footage stored across a couple different drives and in a variety of subfolders. However, I can't seem to find a good way to search through these clips short of manually scrolling through each project and folder individually. I've included a screenshot so you can see what my folder structure looks like:So, let's say I'm interviewing someone and they say something about how the President of the college develops close relationships with students. As I'm filming and ingesting footage throughout the year, I want to be able to apply tags to my clips such as "president" and "students." Then, when I'm editing this interview piece, I want to be able to search my entir

I spent about 5 hours working on post-processing a bunch of images yesterday. I had been working from Bridge CC 2018, and then taking them into Camera Raw, and finally into Photoshop CC 2018 for some touchups. Today I attempted to sign in to Bridge and it wouldn't boot up. I shut down my computer and restarted it. When Restarted, it automatically opened up Bridge as the first thing it did. I noticed that there were no previews of my raw files, and when I double clicked on them, a window opened up saying that I needed to boot up Photoshop first. That's when I realized I was looking at my old Bridge CS5.5 version. I tried to uninstall it as I did a few days ago, but I can't find it in the Control Panel. How do you uninstall something you can't see?

Hi, I'm having an issue with Bridge CC. When I open preferences, the preferences menu extends above and below the screen. I cant scroll and I cant access the items at the top or bottom of the menu. So, I am unable to set preferences. I am using a Dell XPS 13. Appreciate your help. Can I send a photo?

Updated to the latest version of Bridge for management and I use Adobe Camera Raw for editing purposes. Every third file opened causes ACR to crash with the only solution being a restart. Is there an easy fix for this?Running Windows 10Thanks.

Hi there,The MetaData DIY Script that many mention on this forum has been very useful for me. I use it to add MetaData to images that are then read by the Live Caption function in Indesign to create automatic product image descriptions in our catalogues. It's saving a lot of time! This season, I need to add data into the State/Province field, which isn't currently included in the check box list in the DIY MetaData window. I took a scripting course recently for another reason, so I took the liberty to try myself to add this field in. I can get it as far as showing up in the list and sorting list, but have had no luck getting the data to actually apply to the image. I'm sure it's a beginners mistake!I would be forever grateful to anyone who could offer me some help in sorting this out. I have included my modified script here for reference.Dropbox - DIY MetaData Thanks in advance,Åsa

How can I mark stars in photos by a macbook?

Trying to batch watermark a set of photos for the first time and the action works, but it's not doing it to any of them when I do the batch image processing thing?

Hi there - I'm looking for an batch enfuse script for Bridge.  So far I have found a single script built to invoke enfuse in Bridge (CS3) which could be a good starting point, but I have no experience with scripting and would appreciate any help anyone can give to point me in the right direction.  Here's the script: http://dimview.org/phototips/BridgeEnfuse.jsx‌   There's also a script I found for bringing stacks into Photoshop that I might be able to combine with the enfuse script? - Would like to automate open stacks as layers + run action. Possible with script?? What I'd like to do is be able to open the BridgeEnfuse.jsx script in Bridge CC if nothing else, but hopefully build in the ability to batch enfuse every X number of images in Bridge, or batch enfuse stacks of images in Bridge.  I will be doing some experimenting and will try to post back with my findings.  Any direction for how to update oldBridge CS3 scripts to Bridge CC would be really helpfu

Having an issue where I'm trying to see aspect ratio and color space for images I have in bridge but even though I have these checked off as "on" in the dropdown they aren't showing in the filter panel. Any idea on why this is happening? Attached a screenshot

I tag pictures as part of my job. So my hierarchy has to change frequently as new pictures are added to the server and I have to incorporate them into the archive or just if I learn something that makes the system work better. For example I recently learned that words cannot be searched separately. What I mean is, I had a tag 'pool table' that, when searched brought up: pools, tables, and pool tables (billiard tables).Understandably this was a bit of a hassle to someone that is only searching for a specific item or person so, the solution is to combine the words together with an underscore. But that meant I had to rename and delete every, single, keyword I had made until that point. And then re-tag every picture under the new tags. It's been a long process. So what I was wondering is why doesn't bridge recognize that the tag has been changed or 'renamed'. And thus change the existing tags to the new version? Instead of creating an entirely duplicated version with the updated text?Is th

Hello,Up until recently, I would open Bridge from InDesign CS6 in order to use the mini bridge panel.  Now I open Bridge, and when I try to get mini bridge from the Window menu, nothing happens, no error message, no mini bridge, nothing - it is as if I clicked on nothing.  Is there an option somewhere that got disabled?  How do I get mini bridge back?  Thank you for any feedback on this.

I've just started using Bridge and trying to get to grips with Keywords and Filters. Most of my photos were tagged using Windows Photo Gallery using their hierarchy system TOPLEVEL/SUB LEVEL/SUB LEVEL and so on for one or many sub levels ie the top level PEOPLE could have sub levels of FAMILY, FRIEND, WORKMATES, etc. Family could have further sub levels of SURNAME 1, SURNAME2, SURNAME2 etc. with each having another sub level of the name of the family. This is the same principle as Bridge Keywords. The full tag was the complete tree structure with each section of the tree delimited by a /. When I view these photos in Bridge using both FILTERS and KEYWORDS the hierarchy system is lost so every person has their own sub keyword under the keyword of [other keywords] or filter in alphabetical order. This means to display all my family members I have to select some 50plus keywords rather than a single sub keyword of family. I have seach this issue and it seems I'm not the only person unhappy

Hi Everyone i need help . i rename a file ( about 300  photo in a file )  i don't know what happen ?  i just want to cry this photo use about 3 weak to edit palese  help methank you so much !

Is there an option to make the keywords exclusive rather than inclusive? For example if I were to choose keywords "Alaska" and "Animals" I would get every photo I took in Alaska and every photo containing an animal when in reality I only want animal photos I took in Alaska.

When trying to use menu Edit> Develop Settings> Clear Settings with a PSD file that selection is grayed out and not usable. It works with all other file formats (raw, JPEG, TIFF), but not PSD even with 'Maximize Compatibilty' applied.Bridge 8.0.1.282, Camera Raw 10.3, PS 19.1.4, Windows 7

I'm new to Bridge and would like to import my existing keyword tags (People, Places, Events, and Other) from my old version of Photoshop Elements (14) so that I not only have the list of tags but also so that they are applied to individual photos in Bridge as they are now in the Elements organizer. Can anyone advise me on how to do this?

I organize all of my image files by renaming them beginning with the date taken using the format YY/MM/DD. For some reason, the newest version of Bridge inserts an extra space before YY which screws up my filing system. I can't figure out how to remove that extra space in the batch tool program. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

i'm just trying to rename a folder full of images in Bridge, as I do frequently when processing images from photography jobs, and strangely they wont rename. It worked a couple of days ago and nothing has changed other than me downloading this batch of images (there are over a thousand RAW files so it is a lot to manage but it has always chugged its way through them quite happily in the past with no problems). However, after loading up the images initially, I did get the dreaded message stating  my Startup disk was getting near to being full so this may be related to the issue. For this reason, I did try to rename just two files as a test and these would not rename either. I may be missing something obvious due staring at the screen for too long. Any help would be gratefully received.

When browsing my Canon 7D II with Bridge, I'm unable to get a preview of my .cr2 photos or read the metadata without importing them to the computer first. If I browse the camera with Lightroom, previews and metadata is working just fine. Is this unsupported by Bridge?I have cleared the cache and updated Bridge and Camera Raw to the latest version.Bridge 8.0.1.282 x64Camera Raw 10.3.0.933Win 10 Pro 1709 16299.125

Simple enough, just like parent and sub categories when dealing with most lists/rows/options, usually the option key or shift key while clicking on the top parent will toggle between hide/uncheck ALL and show/check ALL in most apps.So when my Bridge is reset or what have you, I’m forced to tediously uncheck one filter category at a time, of the ones I will never use.Is there a quick way of performing this? Or is there a file buried somewhere that allows me to set default filter categories to show/hide?Always been a peeve of mines that Bridge forces such unnecessary tedium.Thanks in advance.
