Bridge

TL;DR: Scrolling in Bridge 2025 (15.0) is still laggy, but Bridge 12.0.4 still works way better. It astounds me that Adobe has yet to fix this. It's been years. I've tried every trick in the book and scoured the internet for anything. Opening the same two folders of raw images Bridge 2022 (12.0.4) will scroll like a breeze while Bridge 15.0 will be unbearbly laggy. This is insanely frustrating as newer versions of bridge have a couple quality of life features which I enjoy but need to keep myself on an older version to simply browse files without going insane. Adobe needs to fix this. When Windows Explorer can scroll and preview raw images faster than Bridge, you know Adobe really messed up.

I am converting CR3 images to tif with only optics corrections. Can anyone tell me why the file size goes from 51MB to 256 Thanks

The scrolling in the keyword-list and in the thumbnail view in Bridge 2024 is much slower (and therefore worse) than in Bridge 2022.Scrolling using Mouse Wheel in Windows 11 is factor 3 or 4 times slower.Where in 2022 about 0.8 of a thumbnail height was scrolled with one wheel tick - it's in 2024 less than 0.2 of a thumb's height.Same in keyword list. Is the scrolling adjustable in Bridge 2024? Please resolve this bug!

Lately - perhaps after last update - my Adobe Bridge has got flicker/blinking, when viewing picture in Fullscreen (by tapping the spacebar) - but only in this view-situation - no other places and in no other related programs (Camera Raw, Photoshop or Premiere Pro). NOT when viewing in 100%, etc. There is no sense in this. It’s 99% of pictures (Canon R5 MK II). I have tried to deactivate the graphic Processor (NVIDIA Geforce 1660 Ti) but nothing changes. I know, it’s not the best graphic card you could have, but until now I have had no issues like this, and all other video/photo related and much more demanding programs are doing well.Flickering also occurs in a minor and not consistent way on my laptop, but typically it stops here.  

Hi everyone,I hope you can help on an issue I can't seem to solve. I updated Bridge yesterday to 15.1.0.635. Since then all of my file ratings, file names have disappeared from the filmstrip panel. The rating and filename appear in the preview window; if files are stacked in the filmstrip the file name, rating and label show on each file in the stack; Files that have been given a label will show the label and rating only and not the file name in the filmstrip; all other files with just file names and a rating don't show the information. I have purged the cache and I can confirm that thumbnails only is not enabled. I am stumped and hope that someone here has an answer to this issue or is it a bug in the update?Any advice gratefully received, many thanks.

After installing Bridge 12.0, when I access a folder of images (that have been culled originally from photo mechanic version 6), the images flicker like mad (including xmp files) on the screen (see file attached) making it unusable. I reverted back to the previous edition of Bridge and the flickering/bug went but Adobe has now forced me to have the latest Bridge 12.0 and the problem has returned. Please can I have some assistance from someone?  I would normally just run off the old Bridge but it wont work unless it has the latest update. I hope I can find help here. I am disspaointed that is no live chat or way of speaking specifically to someone from Adobe, like a helpdesk or chat. Thank you in advance for any help. Kind regards, Jennifer  

I'm using Bridge V 15.1.0 on Windows 10 Home edition updated to the latest version.  1. Open bridge from Creatice Cloud2. It opens immediatly but takes over 5 minutes to populate the folders and contents of the chosen folder.3. Switching between folders also take over 5 minutes to complete the switch4 Shutting down also takes so long that I usually go to task manager to end task. This started happening after the latest update of Bridge a few days ago.

When this is technically the only way to import from a hard drive and the application is not doing it, it can be a very frustrating process. I tried finding the answer with youtube tutorials, allowing permissions, AI answers, searching for updates with CC,  googling and yet 0 results!

Hi, I noticed a bug in the new Bridge update. When I try to keep the interface colour dark while changing the background colour to white, the filename text colour changes to grey. This makes it difficult to read against the grey backdrop in the content tab. I didn’t have this problem before the update. I have included a screen recording to illustrate what is happening.RegardsNatalia

 I have a fully paid yearly subscription to Bridge, P/S, Lighroom/ Lightroom CC, etc.When traveling, I had message, unable to use Bridge, unable to use P/S or other Adobe Products as I did not have access to internet and program required new log in.   It had worked day before and then would not load next day. Often in area where internet is not available or very limited  - will not connect due to weak signal.How do I avoid this problem - Thanks 

All newer versions of bridge from 2023 to present are laggy as heck. Borderline unusable. These would be versions 13.0 through 14.x. Scrolling and filtering take forever, it doesn't matter if you're working on an SSD, hard drive, external drive, or NAS. It's all just as laggy. No trick in the book sees any improvement. Bridge doesn't care that I gave it a huge cache on an SSD for thumbnails. Still laggs just as bad as default. Solution: Install Bridge 2022, aka version 12.0.4. All the lag suddenly goes away. I can scroll through a NAS folder of 1,300 raw images like butter. Adobe seriously needs to figure their stuff out because this is unacceptable. You're telling me a multibillion dollar company can't figure out how to scroll files when their old version could? If they ever remove version 12.0.4 from the creative cloud install files, our entire workflow is completely screwed.

Dear folks in the Bridge team! It's beyond understanding how you don't realize, these versions of Bridge are a big failure!? It's like an early beta version. But already 2 years in beta... Compared to version 12, the newer versions have numerous bugs, the UI is almost non-responsive, etc. The overall feel of the software is like a bunch of libraries put together in a hurry, by a student.Annoying things:- The window often misses the clicks. Yes, clicking in the window, too often does nothing. Tested on multiple computers. (I have to connect this bug with the annoying sticky hand tool bug where the mouse button release is missed, making the hand tool and the lasso tool unusable in photoshop, and Lightroom Classic is affected as well with this sticky hand tool).- Scrolling is painfully slow, to the point of unusable. I see, the scrollbars were reinvented, just to break the things, because there are absolutely no benefits having some super minimalist fancy scrollbars. Instead of fixin

Today I updated Bridge to 2025. I was using 2022 because of the newly introduced features were too annoying.I am very-very sad to experience this SLOOOOOW scrolling speed in EVERY list. This must be some bad taste  or lack of understanding among the devs... I tried these:- Folders- Images- Preferences -> File type associations- Preferences -> MetadataIt seems that in every list one scrolling (a half wheel) scrolls around 2 lines of text which is infuriating. Yet the scrollbars are thin, grabbing with the mouse is another challenge. All these contribute to render these new versions of Bridge counterproductive. Instead of focusing on their work, users are annoyed by these problems which are working well in every other software.Dear devs, there are some bad default settings in your scrollbar component. This bad setting propagates everywhere, in every list. Just make scrolling 3x faster. by default Please, look at browsers, Windows Explorer, or any other image viewer software an

Version 14.0.0 which is fine works. Version 14.1.0the problem is that when I select any photo while browsing photos, I always wait at least 1 second in the preview for the image to focus. (rendered).

Windows 11 24H2Bridge 15.0.4.534 Using "Find" or CTrl+F and entering correctly formatted dates as criteria works only on the first instance of executing the search.If the search is repeated, the dates have the "/" separators stripped and an error is generated. 

Scrolling in the Content pane stalls in details, thumbnail, and list view. Display a folder with a few hundred items. Click and drag from the first item down so the list dynamically scrolls. At some point (usually with just a few dozen items selected), the scrolling will stop and the list will not scroll any further, thus limiting the number of items that can be selected. Reproduced on both Mac and Windows, repeatedly. It does happen occasionally on Bridge 12 but not nearly as often and only when selecting hundreds or more items. Scrolling is also much faster in Bridge 12 than 15 beta.

After the loupe is active in an image, using the arrow keys to select subsequent images makes the loupe disappear (after moving a couple images ahead or behind first image). It seems related to if the image has to "load," the loupe disappears. Note the little message in the preview says, "loading" the loupe disappears. See attached video of the problem.
