Bridge

Adobe Bridge drastically reduces my Internet speed when it is open.With Bridge closed: approximately180 Mbps download / 250 Mbps upload.With Bridge open: approximately40 Mbps download / 80 Mbps upload.The problem occurs with bothBridge 16.0.3.21 and 15.1.7.I tested:Photoshop alone: no problem.Reset Bridge preferences: no improvement.Startup scripts disabled: no improvement.Windows proxy disabled.Blocking Bridge.exe in Windows Firewall: no improvement.No network drives or folders configured in Bridge.The problem is confirmed with both Ookla and Eolo Speed Test.Very unusual behavior:openingEdit > Preferences > Advancedtemporarily restores normal Internetspeed (around 200–300 Mbps). Closing Preferences immediately reduces the speed again.The problem is reproducible every time.OS:Windows 10 

I am running Windows 10 and currently using Adobe Bridge version 16.0.3, which works perfectly for my workflow. Because I have no plans to upgrade to Windows 11, v16.0.3 is the final compatible version for my operating system.Despite this, the Creative Cloud Desktop app is permanently stuck displaying a red notification badge and a "Not Compatible" warning forcing me to update to Bridge v16.0.6—an update my system cannot physically install.It is a massive oversight in user interface design that users cannot dismiss, hide, or ignore updates for applications that are hard-locked by operating system requirements. I want to receive update notifications for Photoshop and Lightroom, but I am forced to look at a permanent, un-dismissible warning for Bridge.I am demanding that the Creative Cloud Engineering team implement an "Ignore Update" or "Hide this Notification" switch.When an app reaches its final compatible version on an OS, the Creative Cloud app should:Recognize that the maximum comp

When using the Metadata panel in Bridge, using Tab to jump to the next field (standard behavior for decades in any UI with fields), the order is unpredictable. One day the tab order will behave one way, and another day another way. Sometimes they’ll even go in order!! Who knows, there is no rhyme or reason.This has happened for years in Bridge, back through Bridge 2024 at least. It seems to be only in MacOS, but I haven’t cross-checked in Windows enough to be sure. Immensely annoying as I daily am keying in metadata values, and being forced to use the mouse to swap fields is a big drag.Sometimes restarting the app fixes it, not always.Sometimes rebooting the Mac fixes it, not always. I haven’t found a reliable workaround.

Recently the option to require ctrl when rating or labeling images in bridge was removed in the preferences menu. I am requesting that this option be restored. Ctrl is not required when rating or labeling images in Lightroom Classic. The discrepancy is very frustrating when switching back and forth between the two programs. 

Since the latest Bridge update (~1 week ago), I can't save changes in the editor. The Save button (usually bottom-right) and other bottom-of-screen options vanish, as if the window is cut off—even in full-screen. Using Windows.

Bridge does not safe edits in camera raw permanently.Open multiple pictures in camer raw, make edit, save with “Fertig”.Change filters in Bridge. Open pictures again. Some pictures have lost the edit. I gave camera raw and bridge plenty of time to safe. (CPU load was back to base) Is not usable like this!

Images often flicker obnoxiously in slidewshow mode.

Hi guys, question: Why does Adobe Bridge from version 2025 not show thumbnails/previews for the MP4 (maybe other rich media files with video content)? It was so a handy/useful function, and it really works well. I didn´t change anything in the production chain, taking video the same way as I did before, and it stops working and displays just an annoying icon of the player instead. I tried to clean up the cache (Purge cache for selection) as well as to reinstall HEVC codecs in Windows, but nothing helped. Is there any reason why this stops working? Thank you very much for the answer. Have a nice day 🙂Configuration: PC / Windows 10 fully updated / Adobe CC 2025 all apps / GPU Nvidia - drivers updated as well.

Bridge 2026 keeps crashing when I open it

.rar compression in bridge has problem. When i compress a file to rar in bridge the original name of the file loose a part

Version 15.0.2.432 (but the issue is present in prior versions)I am using a very high-end machine, and Bridge performs well when connected to the internet. However, I am often offline for days at a time in the field while taking and processing photos. Bridge is effectively unusable when there is no internet connection. Once I'm back online, the issue disappears. To be specific, the issue involves extreme lag when adding/removing labels, ratings, navigating thumbnails, viewing "high quality preview" and opening images into Camera Raw. I would imagine that many other actions are impacted by the issue, but these are the actions I most often perform when culling images in the field while offline.I am 100% certain that Bridge is attempting web calls on nearly every single user action (presumably for Adobe's own internal user analytics), and it is doing so in a terribly inefficient manner that renders the software inoperable with repeated crashes and/or unnecessarily long wait times between
