MacOS 15.4.1 - Bridge Version 15.0.4.534 While reviewing photos, I often sort by day created due to the use of multi cameras/cards during a shoot to keep things in order. While I'm viewing thumbnails, the order seems to arbitrarily shuffle when I rate a photo. This causes confusion of what file I'm viewing next or I will continuously notice "I never looked at that one." after it had jumped up in the order and possibly out of my view space.
First thought updating Bridge to latest software was the issue, then after updating to latest version of Bridge yesteday the problem persist. The content I want to view in Bridge is on my desktop and not loading and the wheel keeps spinning.
when using camera raw in Bridge, the auto function when correcting geometry works fine most of the time, but often it will misalign things, but when opening them into photoshop and using a camera raw filter, the auto function works much better. I cannot work out why they would be different but it is really annoying and would appreciate it being looking into thanks!
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!
Stop or pause button for immediate hold of generating previews, during the process.There are a few cases it would be very nice to stop this process.For example in a folder with many large TIFF files, especially if clicked on by accident. Bridge will continue endlessly, or grey out when clicked on again.Certainly if this folder is on an external backup NAS over the network. Maybe there are other background processes, this would be useful for. However, this can hardly be called a background process, since Bridge is effectively inaccessible.
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!
I use Bridge and the attached Camera Raw to most of my image editing.(Iuse them as my 'Digital Darkroom' before any possibe editing in Photoshop which I do not always find neccessary to my work).A part of my workflow in Camera Raw is to create a number of 'Snapsjhts' during editing.In both Camera Raw and on the Bridge thumbnails - I very much miss some kind of notification symbol, that indicates to me that there is a number of snapshots related to the specific image.Will be very useful to have ...RegardsKeld Vinther

Bridge automated photo stacking is simply a painful existence. I run a real estate media company and we are shooting thousands of images per day. Our workflow includes stacking 5 image brackets for file management and organization while culling. Bridge's "Auto Stack HDR" is effectively useless. It NEVER works correctly and ithas no customization for stacking parameters. Lightroom at least has a "Stack By Capture Time" feature which is decent but lightroom itself is not a great choice for file manageent. We NEED the abilty to set custom parameters for auto stacking. All of the data needed is in the meta data. We need options for stacking via Capture TimeSequenceEVExposure CompensationFile TypeCamera Serial Number Any other meta data that may be relevant. Additionally, Please make selecting the WHOLE STACK the standard and selecting the top image require the option key. I can't think of a reason that someone would want to drag the
Dear Bridge team,A core part of culling is knowing what’s inside a folder at a glance. Please add an option to generate a composite thumbnail (first 1–4 files or a user-chosen “cover”) for each folder in the Content panel—similar to ACDSee/XnView.Why it mattersFaster navigation through deep job trees (weddings, RAW backups, project shots).Reduces unnecessary double-clicks and disk scans.Keeps users inside Bridge instead of switching to 3rd-party browsers just for visual folders.Optional controls that would delight users:Number of items in collage (1, 4, adaptive).Option to pin any file as “folder cover”.Toggle in View / Preferences so purists can keep plain icons.Thank you for considering! Bridge is already my DAM of choice; this small UX boost would make it perfect for daily high-volume workflows.Kind regards,Edo
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.
Hi,I download the plugin on Adobe Stock for AVIF/AV1 format compatiblity for Photoshop but i mainly use Adobe Bridge for managing and searching for images for projects.How comes that AVIF format not supported into Adobe Bridge?Could we have a plugin also for Bridge please?Thanks.
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
It would be an awesome quality of life change for bridge to be able to display the previes for blender files!
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.
