Bridge

I just installed Photoshop with Bridge for a week's free trial. Before I consider purchasing it, however, I'd like to know if there are any features to remove print (specifically, type) from a photo in my pictures folder. I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to do that.Please tell me how to do that. Thanks.

Hey there,So I am very unfamiliar with Adobe Bridge. I have read up on it and I understand that it allows for a more efficient way of organizing, naming, and cataloging photos and other digital assets. The thing I wanted to know was are the tags and labels you apply to files on Bridge universal? So if you were to upload an image that was handled on Bridge onto Flickr, Barberstock, or some other photography platform, would the image's information and metadata be retained? Thank you.

Hi BR forumI can only set up 21 favorite posts/items in Favorite panel in Bridge CC - I have tried to reset preferences but to no avail.Is there anyway I can get more than 21 items in Favorite panel...?

I was working on a batch of photos in Adobe Bridge when I accidentally hit my hard drive cord, which lost the connection for a second. When I went to hit 'Done' a message box came up that said that the files couldn't be found, and all of my edit work was lost. At least everything since the last time I hit 'Done'. It was two hours of work and hundreds of photos that I had to redo. I spent awhile searching for some kind of autosave or recovery option but none seems to exist. Am I missing something? Is there a way to have an autosave on like there is in Premiere so that if something happens, the work will be saved as I go? Or is there a way to recover that data so I don't have to redo it all? I can't seem to find an answer to this. If someone could help me, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks,- R

In the Bridge select The image to include in the contact sheet then choose Window ,Workspace,  Output  The Bridge I am using dose not have the Output where can I go to access it

After an update 2 weeks ago to Bridge CC (2017) I've not been able to open or use the program. I also attempted to add on the output setting for creating pdfs - perhaps this is an issue? Please help. It might be my most used program (I'm a photo editor) and I can't figure anything out.

I am using Adobe Bridge 2017 on a Mac. What does the New Window command do?I thought it created a new window to import photos in but it didn't seem to do anything form my vantage point.Where should I go to delete these new windows?Thanks[Moved from the non-technical Lounge Forum to the specific Program forum...

Quite often when I select a directory in Bridge I have to wait a minute or more for it to allow me to select a subdirectory.  I have to wait for the program to show the thumbnails for everything in the selected directory.  Needless to say, this causes huge wastes of time when all I want to do is get into a subdirectory.Is there a preference somehwere that tells Bridge to prioritize showing subdirectories (and, ideally, filenames) BEFORE generating thumbnail images?  Such an option would be a tremendous speed-up for my workflow.If it matters, I'm on Windows 10.  And I've had this same problem with both CS6 and the CC version of the Adobe suite on several different computers.Thanks,rgames

Bridge has been slow and freezer 8 out of 10 times this is after the last update

Hello,I would like to know if it is possible in Bridge to transform/export collections into "real" windows files?I explain : I have some photos that I'd like to put into differents files, without creating a duplicate each time, for example I have a head of Augustus, and I want it to be in an "Augustus" file + an alias in a "Museum name" file. This is exactly what Bridge does in Collections, but now I want to have access to the files in my windows documents and not ony in Bridge, to sum up to export/transform those collection into real windows files with alias inside... if it is possible!Thank you so much for your precious help!Paulineps. I'm using Bridge CC 2017

I work for a company that has yearly print ad campaigns. The InDesign ad files are provided to me by our parent company. All I have to do is resize the ads for each publication we advertise in. It adds up to several hundred ads of all different sizes each year.Each InDesign document is sized to the ad dimensions (as opposed to the ad layout being placed in the middle of an 8.5 x 11 InDesign page, for example). All of the ads are stored in one folder.When I have to do a new ad, I would like to be able to quickly see if I have already done an ad in the requested size or close to that size. It would greatly reduce or eliminate the time it takes to resize ads.I thought there would be a way in Bridge to quickly see the dimensions of each ad (in inches). In Bridge / Preferences / Thumbnails / Details, you can click the checkbox to show thumbnail metadata and select "Dimensions (in inches)", but it appears to only show dimensions for JPG files, not InDesign files. Same with Bridge's Metadata

everything is in the title, i can't manage to installe properly the pdf module on bridge CC 2017, the menu is present but totally empty, please, anyone could help me on that?Thank you!!!

I have no idea what I have done. I'm using Bridge to put together an InDesign project, and I had all my photos as thumbnails in View. Granted, I thought these old eyes would benefit from a larger size of thumbnail.However, while I was dragging a photo from Bridge to ID, I accidentally somehow got hold of the photo and made it way larger. Since I don't quite know what I did in the first place, I don't know how to make the preview photos smaller. I don't necessarily want them to be an inch or so high, as they were before, but I don't want them this big.See screenshot:

I've gotten started with some Bridge scripting and got kind of frustrated with the un-intuitive ways to fill out these metadata fields, so I went on a mission to create a helpful abstraction object to help me set the fields.I noticed that actually most of the solutions were using the external XMP lib object and dealt with manipulating the XMP from the string inside the image files, and the remainder were about the Bridge scripting commands to get the same data from the 'metadata' object which appears to be some kind of magical thing where by a namespace is set and then a key value can be retrieved so long as someone already knows the key ( which are all listed in the raw data, and by adding own text and finding it you can get all the fields, etc.).So, as the external lib method seems rather verbose, I decided to go with the metadata object of Bridge. Here's the object I made and it appears to be working.At least this works to set my few fields for now, is the method going to be a whole

Can anyone write something up for me? I will admit I cannot do it myself, I do not know Javascript.I need to add keywords and a description to 1000's of images. I have a text file formatted as such for each 100 images. The script would need to ask for an input file (or I can hardcode the path into the script) and then apply to the current folder of images shown in bridge.Text file example:1000 - Bright Sunset Over City. (sun;city;sky;mountain;) .1001 - Dawn Behind Mountain And Lake. (sun;mountain;water;sky;) .1002 - Bright Red Sunset, Light Edged Clouds. (sun;sky;tree;clouds;) .1003 - Tree Framing Sunset Over Bay. (tree;sun;lake;bay;) .1004 - Sun Behind Gull On Pilings. (seagull;sun;sea;pilings;) .images are named 1000.tif, 1001.tif, 1002.tif etcRunning on a Mac with CS3 and CS4.Thanks,Chris

Macbook Pro laptop, OS X El Capitan, 10.11.6After upgrading from CC 2015 to 2017 I had to reinstall three custom panels. The procedure is, Applications-> Adobe Bridge CC 2017-> Adobe Bridge CC 2017 .app-> Show package contents-> Contents-> Application Data-> Custom Info Panels-> 4.0-> Panels.In the Panels folder, I can see the custom panels are there. In each of the three folders I can see the files, manifest.xml, properties.xml, bin and loc. When I open Bridge and select Ctrl+I, only two of the custom panels appear. I attempted to install this panel a number of times. I even deleted all three custom panels and added them again, but for a reason unknown to me, this one particular panel will not show up. When I had CC 2015 installed, all three panels were visible. It was only after removing CC 2015 and installing CC 2017 that this problem began. It doesn't make sense why Bridge will not display that particular panel. Sure hope someone has the answer because I rea

When I open bridge and select some (amount doesn't matter) RAW pictures for editing in Camera RAW it works fine.After editing ('Done' in ACR) I return to Bridge and select a new set of pictures for editing.Opening in ACR then crashed Bridge and disables the 'Use Graphics Card' option. This is very annoying.If I close Bridge after every edit and restart, it all works fine! But that's not a good workaround by my opinion.Leaving the 'use graphic card' option off is slower and delays my workflow.Using CC2017. I updated my video card (Radeon R9 290) to the latest driver. My ACR is of the latest version.This started 2 ACR version updates before. Therefore it was working fine all time.It looks like video RAM is not freed up for some reason (or cache). I can't get my hand on it.Can somebody help me with options or tips?

I have relied on using w.show() == 2 to determine if a cancel button was pressed when using ScriptUI dialogs in PS, AI and ID. Now in Bridge, it seems like the cancel button does not work, including explicitly assigning a button as the window.cancelElement;I worked around this by adding a click event to set a property which is read when the window.show() returns something other than 2, and returning null when the property is present vs missing.But, am I just doing something wrong, or is this a known thing in the world of Bride scripting?

Okay, I had some photos where I changed to grayscale AND used noise reduction in Camera Raw. I have the HQ option checked but the thumbnails displayed show the gray scale but not the reduction in noise. However if I view an individual file in Camera Raw it shows both grayscale and noise reduction. Something in the way thumbnails are displayed?I have reinstalled Bridge to no avail.

I am using Bridge in CS6.I apply metadata, including keywords and descriptions to all images.I use 'find' to locate ones without the data, for example "keyword does not exist"Recently though, I realize, by remembering shooting certain subjects, that huge numbers are not turning up.This is resulting in huge amounts of extra work, looking at each image's metadata to see if it is there.For example, I shoot a lot of birds and give keywords such as sandpipers, or warblers.  Then when I go to add specific names in descriptions, it limits the number and I can group select and name a lot all at once when appropriate.  When everything has correct keywords and names, I move edited files to species specific folders arranged phylogenetically.So now I find that I may have named some individuals, but the search missed dozens of others and I have to look at every one and do the process all over again.I can't find any correlation with why some are found and others not, as keywords and descri

I haven't used Bridge in about a month. This afternoon, I attempted to download files from my CF card to my hard drive and received this lovely message. I had a similar issue a while back, which prompted me to make the switch from CS5 to CC. I've been able to use BridgeCC for around a year without issue (going from memory), and have had several updates which have not been problematic. When I got this message today, I checked my version of CC, and noticed that the last auto update appeared to have had an issue. I was able to successfully re-launch that, it updated, but this issue still persists - much to my frustration as I've run into this before (though not necessarily the exact same problem).I am NOT very technically inclined. I can follow instructions just fine, so long as no steps are left out. Can someone assist me in fixing this? (Please, before I toss everything out of the front door and resort to cocktails???)I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with 16 GB RAM on the latest version

I work for a non-profit in Vermont, and I am currently working to improve our photo organization system. Our headquarters are small (6 staff), but we have a considerable amount of photographs.I am interested in Adobe Bridge. I understand this product is entirely free to both download and use, is that correct? I'm also curious about how our photos would be stored. Are there any costs which could arise relating to photo storage? More generally, would you recommend Bridge as a solution to our photo organization needs?I appreciate any information on the topic.Thank you!

I've seen that in the past the D810 had issues  with NEF files being read in Camera Raw and Lightroom, but nothing recent.  I just got my D810 a few days ago and have noticed something weird when using photo downloader.  Some files, maybe 5%, will successfully get converted to DNG while the rest stay as NEF.  Adobe Camera Raw is able to open and edit the NEF but I'm just wondering why it isn't converting everything.  My camera is at the current firmware and all my programs for CC have been updated.

A little background: I was asked to go through timelapse images and delete the boring images as well as rename all the files and organize them. In Bridge CC everything is fine but when I look at the drive in finder there is nothing there. I have exported cache but still nothing appears on the drive. Help?
