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.
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.
I just uograded via Adobe Cloud. I can edit in ACR through Photoshop 24 but not through Bridge 13.0. I have Bridge 12.0.3 installed and it allows editing in ACR, but Bridge 13.0 does not. Photoshop 24.0 is installed and I am logged in to my Adobe account. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and rebooting. Could Bridge 13 be lookiing for the qualifying llicense in the wrong locaton?
It only opens from photoshop but not from opening bridge
Since V14 impossible to enter 'preferences' in W11 as well W10 ! ! !BR crashesI already signal this problem but no changes. It's boring now ! ! !Impossible to modify some settins for Keywords.
Hello Adobe community!I am managing and sorting alot of images through my photography sport activity, and usually use Lightroom classic to sort and stack images. Unfortunatly Lightroom is very slow probably due the quantity of files to manage.I am using in Lightroom classic the function auto-stack by capture time to help me as a first step to group the files taken in continuous mode. I would like to use Bridge (faster) to sort my pictures out before starting my editing work, but I can't find that function into it which is annoying, plus if I do an auto-stack in Lightroom Classic I wont find my sorting in bridge to complete the sorting work.Anyone could help me on that topic? May be by switch from Lightroom and Bridge with their different functionnalities?Otherwise that would be interesting for Adobe to include the auto-stack function from Lightroom Classic into Bridge as it is supposed to be the application to organise your files more than Lightroom.ThanksBert
HiIs there a portable version of Adobe Bridge?Any version year is OK.For 64-bit.
Is there a way to add bit dept to the top column.Filtering and metada is cool, but would be nice to see the bit depth, as we work with lots of 32, 16s and 8s. cheers
The re-write of Bridge, in my opinion, is the worst software product release of all time. And I have been a personal computer user since Vic-20. I disliked it then, I dislike it more now. It still lacks much of the features of the old one. It certainly in every area performs WORSE than the original version. On Mac and PC both.Multi-monitor support is terrribleMulti-window support is a joke; it didn't even have it to begin with. (Really Adobe? that's a feature?)Keyboard shortcuts from original are either missing or don't work. I can look them up in the new fancy keyboard shortcut UI (totally a waste IMO - looks nice, terrible to use) and they are there, but they do not work. You look up shortcuts and they don't work. Nice~!Slideshow is so super broken - I don't even try to use it anymore. Being able to switch between thumbnails and your workspace layout doesn't exist anymoreIt's so super slow. Beyond ridiculous slooooow.It is so bad (and don't get me wrong, Photoshop has a lot of a
Zooming in ACR is perfect, so why is it so cumbersome in Bridge, it is same-author program package, and it is in Bridge that I need the perfect zoom function, as thát is where the selection process happen....?In ACR, You can in the settings set the default zooming to for instance 400%, which is perfect in terms of checking whether the image is actually 100% sharp, NOT THE LEAST because it zoom in exactly where You click, however in Bridge, it zoom to 100 percent, somewhere in the vicinity of where You clicked, and it is for one thing VERY cumbersome to drag the image - bit for bit - to the eye that You for instance want to check, if it didn't zoom in exactly where You clicked (which it doesn't do 8 out of 10 times), and likewise it is also quite difficult to get it to the 400%, or whatever level You want to get to, as it more or less zoom in and out frantically (exactly this may be a matter of mouse sensitivity though, however, unlike ACR, it is not possble to preset a zoomlevel in the
Lmao... apparently the dev team have heard somany complaints about slow scrolling for so long that they've coded in huge jumps on scroll events as somesort of "fix" for what must have been atrocious performance. If y'all need to make such huge jumps on each scroll event - I mean, scroll events fire more than any other UI event, a veritable flood of them...And how did you code such a thing without a throttle or debounce? It might be an genuine solution/feature if it actually stopped after scrolling an entire page on a single one of the 800 or so scroll events that get sent with the tiniest swipe of my trackpad, I can't even use the scroll bar, since apparently that has the same kludgy event handling tied to it. Keyboard nav kinda works, but even that feels super unnatural.And ok, maybe debouncing or throttling the Spaceballs-esque Ludicrous Speed scrolling is hard or something - but why not a toggle to turn it off, or a multiplier setting that could be adj
The "maximize current panel" shortcut (` key) doesn't work on QWERTZ (German) keyboards and likely on most non-English keyboards as well.Those who don't have an English keyboard with version 13 lose Tab to Hide and get locked out of the Subwindow magnification feature too (I saw no other way to run this command). The issue, obviously, could get solved with editable keyboard shortcuts: A feature Bridge users have been asking for, since day one.I already posted this as a comment in another thread, but I thought I should give it a thread on its own. Maybe someone from the Bridge Team reads this feedback right after the major release.
I would like to open RAW-files directly into Photoshop without going through Camera Raw (ACR). Actual Result: this is only possible with shift double clicking using the mouse Expected Result: a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Shift-Enter) or the option to add such a keyboard shortcut
Hi, I can't seem to get Camera Raw to work with my new MacBook Pro. The internet has told me to try different things, but I might be too big of an idiot to understand what to do. I have attached screenshots of why I can't change settings or delete a file I don't seem to have. Any help would be much appreciated.
