Bridge

I've seen solutions for this for Mac in this community forum but not PC. Bridge will see the drive but when you click the arrow to expand, nothing happens. Tried restarting, resetting preferences, nothing fixes it. The drive is accessible from Windows Explorere just fine. Thanks if you have solved this for the answer. 

Hi.  I'll say first that I've found the Downloader to be quite inconsistant, even cantankerous over time.  It's hit or miss and has to be in the right mood to function.  For the past 3 weeks the Downloader has failed to detect my iPhone 14 pro.  I've refreshed the device list;  uninstalled/reinstalled Bridge;  reset Br preferences;  I'm using the same cable and port as usual to connect to my PC, but I continue to get the same result:  "get photos from:  <none detected>;  no device found".  During the past few years I've been able to coax the Downloader to function, but this time, it seems, I can't, and this situation is interfereing badly with my work.  If anyone has a suggestion for getting around this obstacle, I'd be very interested to learn about it.  Thanks. 

Is Bridge included in the 20GB Photography Plan ??

I just lost basically a days work because of something my Macbook does that I have never experienced before. It’s a new M3 MAX with 36GB ram running Sonoma 14.4.1 I had 198 images in Adobes ACR. I had done extensive work on  about 100. Went to save out as tifs 74 files at which point it said Bridge run out of application memory and Bridge, which is where I send my raw files to camera raw from, was consuming 64GB memory. It then appeared to crash but just go to sleep and then asked me for my password with ACR no longer open and just the Bridge interface showing. I have had the application warning about 4 times since I bought the laptop and had taken to making sure that no other apps were open although Chrome browser was and email. This never happened on my trash can Mac although it does have 64GB of ram but more importantly it never ever happened on my 2015 Macbook pro which only has 16GB ram! I have spent years sending sometimes 500 or more files to camera  raw and never

When trying to enlarge a photo, the zoom area does not display correctly, see attached. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you!

Bonjour à tousquand je sélectionne des photos raw ou Jpg sur bridge et que je veux les ouvrir dans photoshop je fais (enter)maintenant je n'arrive pas et j'ai un panneau qui me dit(cette application ne peut pas s'executé sur votre PC)????????merci pour la solution.

I UPDATED CREATIVE CLOUD A FEW DAYS AGO. BRIDGE WON'T OPEN. MESSAGE SAYS, "BRIDGE 2024 IS DAMAGED AND CAN'T BE OPENED". A SECOND MESSAGE SAYS, "THIS APP WAS DOWNLOADED ON AN UNKOWN DATE". HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM?

Why does Bridge jump to the bottom of the window after renaming a batch? It is confusing and distracting to stop and locate the newly renamed photographs, especially when there is a large batch. The view options are set to sort by Date Created. Does Bridge take it upon itself to reset the view options to something—who knows what—so they end up at the bottom of the window? Please fix this, as this multi-automatic unwanted action occurs repeatedly while renaming batch photographs. 

I don't currently use Collections or Smart Collections for anything beacuse I'm not sure how they would fit into my workflow. So I'd be interested in finding out: what do you all use collections for? Interested to see what cool things you all use them for!

This is ridiculous, I have 500+ photos I NEED TO CULL AND EDIT TODAY and all versions of Bridge won't open. So we are paying a premium for Adobe software only to have it cripple my job, my lifeline.  First it was InDesign not working, now I can't edit sort and edit photos that I need to get done TODAY!!!! Mac OS 15.01Adobe Bridge versions 14, 15 and Beta all bomb and none work

Hi all,in "all" versions of bridge when installed, crashes with flickering and a final error code. The result always is having to uninstall bridge. I have a iMac pro 2017 with 32 mg of memory.   The processor is 3.2 ghz 8-core intel-xeon W. Graphics card is Radeon Pro Vega 5886. And all the system updates OS sequoia.  Should I get more memory, use a hammer, or what suggestions regarding reinstalling, or any other advice? By the way, Photoshop works perfectly.Thanks all!Norm  

Since today, Bridge crashes upon starting. I can't even access the preferences since the program closes immediately. I de-installed it and reinstalled it, but to no avail. The version is 15.0 and I am using OS Sequoia 15.1.1. I tried using shift-option-command while starting the software several times to purge the memory but it didn't help. And I can't see an error code any more since at some point during the multiple crasjhes I checked the box: Automatically send error message... Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Last night when I tried to use Bridge I got the message "Adobe Bridge 2025 is damaged and can't be opened." I had been using Bridge earlier in the day with no issue. So I uninstalled, using the Creative Cloud app, with the option to preserve preferences etc. Then I reinstalled Bridge.  I still get the above message, but I noticed in smaller grey type it also says "This file was downloaded on an unknown date" - I don't remember if that part of the message was in the original alert.I'm on a 2018 Mac Mini, 3.2 Ghz 6-core Intel i7 with 64 GB of memory, running OS 14.7.1 .  

Using File Explorer in windows 11 my .jpg image shows the Metadata.  One of the fileds is called 'Comments'.I use this to store misc data.I have now dowloaded the latest version of Bridge and have an issue finding the field 'Comments'When I use Adobe Bridge the 'Comments' field is not found in the Metadata lists. The file Properties are correct and one other filed called 'Authors' does appear in ITPC. Why is this?Is there a parameter I need to change?See file attached

I am trying to locate Bridge's metadata template standard fields; if anyone can point me in the right direction?I have an LLM prompt to generate an XML file for such in Photo Mechanic, and I am looking to do the same for Bridge for all metadata and keyword processes. Now is the time over the holidays to fine-tune this.  Much appreciate any help in locating the full format/list. Happy Holidays! & Merry Christmas!

Bridge photo downloader still does not recognize compact flash cards today. Has Adobe given up on Bridge? Has anybody managed a work around for this issue. I tried the usual autoplay set up but it doesn't work.

Just started using camera with CFexpress card, and found I can not download Cfxepress card via Bridge (unlike SD or CF cards). It apears that Adobe bridge does not recognice CFExpress card as a removable card.And aprrently, it is not an unknown issue! Whan is Abobe Bridge planing to resolve this prtoblem? 

When I try to launch Photoshop's Image Processor tool from Adobe Bridge 2022 (v12.0.4.286), I get the following error message: "Install the latest version of Photoshop to continue.." I still encounter this error even after updating to the latest version of Photoshop (2025/v26.1.0). Is there a way to fix this without installing the latest version of Bridge?  I'm not a big fan of the UI changes made in Bridge v13 and above.

A good tool like Bridge remains unusable for some cataloging needs without this feature.Please add this simple basic feature to most file management programs.

Is there a way to sync the setting in your apps from one machine to the other? This was a setting a long time ago but IDK if they have it somewhere else now. Thanks

 I have a series of files that are like: 230167 firstname lastname.jpgI would like to remove everything but the first 6 digits of the file name so that I'm left with 230167.jpgThanksEnid 

HiI use Bridge and Photoshop latest versionsIve seen references to something similar that I need but not using the IPTC field Job Identifier.I need to batch script it using Bridge (for many images)If anyone can help, that would be very useful.I do this so the original title of the image isn't lost when I rename the file title (not IPTC title) to something meaningful. This helps me locate the original files (PSD's etc) in the future.Much appreciated for any helpSimon

I downloaded images from a Hasselblad X1D2 and Leica Q into Lightroom Classic. The LR folder is on an external harddrive attached to my laptop.After reviewing the images and applying ratings in LR, I attemted to view the images in Bridge. The images are there and all of the related EXIF data except the ratings. However, ratings of images from previous uploads are there. When opening the images in Photoshop from Lightroom (using Edit In), Photoshop displays the ratings.Solution?
