Bridge

When I installed the latest version of Bridge, I mistakenly denied access to media on my computer. Now Bridge is essentially useless, as it cannot see any files at all. How can I correct this and edit the permissions? I tried uninstalling Bridge, and when prompted, chose to discard preferences. On reinstalling, I still cannot see files in the viewer window, so it would seem that the permissions choices carried over.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

The Photoshop 2025 startup script is not loading and is disabled in Bridge 2025. When I re-enable it and restart Bridge, I get this message (screenshot). I've deleted and reinstalled Bridge 2025 and get the same error. When I try the Pre-release version of Bridge I get the same error. What else can I try? Note that "I think" this behavior started after installing the latest Photoshop beta. But not exactly sure.   

Hye community, I wrote custom XMP metadata to add on images and medias. It works like a charm on Bridge 2022 but a bug appears on UI n 2023 version(update the day of the demo to my partners... fate...). The views are ok on 'Information panel' (Files > Informations) but doens't works on 'Metadata panel', as shown on the image linked : Image of the bug on Bridge 2023  A read the documentation another time, line by line and I've tryed many ways to rewrite XML files that describes custom XMP schema and view but nothing works. This time, I think there's a bug.All the files could be found on the github repository in Nemateria extension folderThank you community for yours help.

As a photographer I have been using Bridge for over a decade. One of the most important ways I use it is to create PDF documents of low res (but good quality) images to show clients as contact sheets, often with one image per page. I found this to be a quick easy way to create a high res or low res PDF that can be emailed. Recently with the new Bridge updates, the PDF sizes have become exponentially bigger - and therefore not possible to email. I never used to have to resize every image as the Output panel was very good at compressing and doing this for me and creating a usable file size. It is even creating large file sizes from small LR images. I don't know what has happened or if there is any solution to this, but my workflow is now incredibly slow as I try to compress and optimize PDFs in Adobe Acrobat which also is very glitchy and sometimes doesn't work at all. I'm now doing more work to try and do something I have done in Bridge for years and it's driving me crazy. I have a

Bridge is creating multiple copies of photos when I download from my camera.  I'm using a Z7 and running on Windows 10 - Bridge is up to date.  This just started a few days ago.  When I use the Photo Downloader it creates two copies of each photo from my camera - I then have to delete every other one before I start actually downloading.  Anyone have any ideas??  

In the View/Details I really only want to see the photo name, Date Created, Date Modified and my description and keywords.  How do I get rid of the size of the photo, the color profile, the focal length, etc. etc.  I've gone over my Metadata settings and have almost everything 'unchecked' but I still see too much info for me. Thank you for any help.

I have a new Dell XPS laptop with Windows 11. I want to be able to view video thumbnails in Bridge 14 (2024). All .mp4 videos are appearing. However, Bridge is only showing thumbnails for some .mov files. All of these .mov files are from the same iPhone 13, all shot using the same setting, yet some thumbnails appear and some show the video editor icon instead of a thumbnail. The thumbnails that appear and the ones that don't both have the same metadata, Quicktime Video. What's more, all the thumbnails appear in Lightroom and Windows Explorer. This only happens in Bridge. I have tried clearing cache, turning on (and off) User Software Rendering and any other online solutions I could find. Is there any way to fix this?

I am editing on Adobe Bridge and brigde quit automatically when i am Panoraming 3 Photos. I loss all my edits so any one please tell me how i can recover all my edits or xmp file

I've  been a bridge fan and user since it was introduced. In V15, one of my favorites and most used function and an important part of my workflow is the search box in the upper right hand corner. In V15, I cannot find the search function. Can someone help me?Thanks to those who know more than me,Joe

I'm not sure what changed, but the Loupe keeps disappearing when the pic finishes loading. It just started one day and I can't fix it. What happens: I will click on a pic in the left column, then click on the pic in the Preview pan. The loupe shows up and magnifies properly. It then disappears after the pic finishes loading. (After "(Loading 100%)" message disappears). I click on the pic again and it will then stay just fine.But then when I choose a different pic in the list, either by clicking on it or press the Down Arrow key, the loupe will disappear again. It used to always stay. Troubleshooting:-Reset Bridge preferences (Ctrl-Alt-Shift during startup)-Updated to the latest (v13.0.4.755)-Installed v14.0.0.102-Updated latest Nvidia drivers-Rebooted multiple times. I can't find any settings that would affect it within Bridge. Is this configured elsewhere or is there some sort of Performance or Cache preference that will help with this?

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE RESOLVED THIS QUERY BUT I CAN'T DELETE THE POST. I closed everything & re-opened it, & 'select all' re-appeared when I hover over the place where it used to be.I've just opened some Raw images for editing from Bridge into Camera Raw, but it seems to have migrated to version 17.3.1 & several settings essential to my workflow are missing from the main interface. In particular the 'Select all' option which was at the top right corner of the thumbnail panel. I searched around & found that it seems to be hidden in a tiny 'filmstrip' icon at the bottom of the screen. It's hard to select anything here as the list vanishes when you take your finger off the 'select' corner or the trackpad, but when I did manage to try & click on 'select all' it just went grey & became disabled, but the images were still not selected. It is now totally disabled and I can't use it at all. PLEASE can someone tell me how to stop this idiocy, and get this feature back where

Hello, I am encountering an error with Camera Raw in Bridge causing a runtime error and GPU acceleration to be disabled, denying me use of this feature. My graphics card is a Radeon RX 570 4GB. This error has only begun recently enough, and was temporarily fixed by reinstalling the drivers but this no longer fixes the issue. I have also tried using DDU to uninstall the drivers before reinstalling them however this was to no avail. When this error happens, the GPU usage spikes from 100% to 0% rapidly in Task Manager, and the memory usage remains constant at 3.8/3.9 out of 4GB The exact message displayed is"The graphics processor has encountered an unrecoverable error. Due to a run-time error, GPU acceleration has been disabled for the remainder of the session" ,  usually followed by an error from AMD stating a runtime error. When attempting to use the AI Noise Reduction feature in Lightroom, the message displayed is "Unsupported PhotoThe selected

Windows 11 / 32G Ram / Core i7I have just installed bridge after a C-drive dust/reinstall and I cannot get an icon to display on my desktop to save my neck. Can anyone help?Thanks to those who know more than me,Joe    

I can add notes to an image by right-clicking the thumbnail,  going to file info>Basic ,and writing in the Description box. After doing this, is there any other way to see, at a later time, what is written in the Description box other than right-clicking on the thumbnail again?

I have files that I'm importing to my desktop from a USB and they were even keyworded on a different device. All the metatdata information apprears in the details pane of Windows Explorer, but in Adobe Bridge these new files are a blank slate for the metadata; even Creation Date and Modification Date. I can still add new keywords and such, but no former details exist in Bridge. Is there something wrong here? Am I just not understanding how something works?  

Using Bridge 15.0.4.534 on a MacBook Pro M3 Max 16" (Nov 2023) running MacOS Sonoma 14.7.6. I have written some text in the Description field (IPTC Core) that applies to a set of images but want to add individual metadata info in the middle of what is already there. When I click where I want to edit the text often, but not always, the cursor jumps to the end of the text after a moment. Same behaviour in the Metadata panel and in the Metadata window that opens with Command-I. Not a big issue but still irritating.

Preset shortcut keys for labels (cmd+6, cmd+7, etc. or just 6, 7, etc.) work fine during Full Screen Preview. However, if you change them to Custom buttons (with or without modifier), they no longer work during Full Screen Preview. They only work while not in Full Screen.For example, this does not work in Full Screen Preview (works fine as soon as you exit full screen):Basically my root problem, though, is that you can't zoom the image in the Preview Panel, only in Full Screen Preview. I wouldn't mind custom shortcuts not working in Full Screen Preview if only it was possible to zoom image in the Preview Panel without entering Full Screen Preview. Affected versions (at least):- Beta 15.0.1.409- Beta 15.1.0.595Affected OS:- macOs Sequoia 15.4- Windows 11 

Hi,When browsing in Bridge, I'd like to only see RAW files, JPEG files, TIFF files and that's it. I don't want to have to set these filtering options each time I open a folder or after I relaunch Bridge. This is an obvious feature that I can find in many other viewers. I can't believe that Bridge is unable to make this filtering settings sticky.What did I miss ? Thanks in advance.

Annoying behavior Bridge 2025 - attempting to single click images immediately opens them in Photoshop 2025. I am single clicking all the time... I just want to tag my photo's. (PC Windows 11) I need help to fix this issue please and thank you.

Guten Tag, ich habe eine grosse Fotosammlung die gut 10000 Dateien umfasst und gut 9 TB Daten enthält. Alle Fotos sind auf einer Festplatte in Ordnern sortiert. Nur gehen immer wieder bereits eingelesene Vorschau-Bilder von heute auf morgen verloren und müssen von Bridge neu eingelsen werden. Dies kann je nach dem, mehrere Stunden Zeit kosten, da die Dateien sehr gross sind (von 500MB - 6 GB). Es ist unterschiedlich wieviele Ordner jeweils betroffen sind. Bin ich vermehrt am Arbeiten, sind es einzelne Ordner. Bin ich mehrere Tage nicht mehr am Mac, dann sind meistens alle Vorschaubilder weg. In den Voreinstellungen habe ich gewählt, dass die Vorschauen nicht gelöscht werden sollen. Auch ist mehr als genug Platz reserviert, (500GB, benötigt werden 90GB, auf dem Datenträger hat es noch über 1TB frei). Beim durchschauen der Einstellungen habe ich auf alle Fälle nichts gefunden das dieses Phänomen erklären könnte. Auf dem PC habe ich dieses Problem auch, allerdings
