Bridge

I purchased Elements 2025 11/4/2024 from local Staples Store. I’m 90 years old and couldn’t figure out how to  install so had a Staples Tech get my Elements 2025 up and running. A week ago my MacBook Air M2. locked up and I went to Apple Store for a major fix. This required a complete new system Sequoia 15.5.1installation., which wiped out all my non Apple apps including my new PSE2025. I tried to reinstall PSE 2025, and was denied, due to my previous 2025 installation. I Contacted Adobe robot team service which provided a “How To” reinstall the 2025 PSE app to my same MacBook. I tried for over two hours to figure out how to install. Frankly it’’s a VERY complex procedure, I finally gave up.  I went to a professional Tech at the Staples store who installed my original purchased PSE 2025 app, which also became a difficult procure for me to reinstall. This tech worked diligently over one hour trying to figure out how to reinstall the PSE2025 and gave up as he said it

I've been trying to batch rename a bunch of files, but Bridge only lets me batch rename once. The second, third, fourth time I try, it gets stuck at 0% and never moves. If I quit and reset the preferences and clear the cache, it will work once again, but this is not a sustainable way to work. Anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this and what might fix it? I'm on a mac and have updated to the latest version. I also tried going back to Bridge 2024 and ran into the same issue. I was chatting with support for an hour and a half before we got disconnected and I was unable to reestablish connection.

I tested TWICE the same problem (the first time - my fault - without backup). Given a directory “\location\” with contents A,B,C,D , by creating \location\subdir , when I move A,B,C,D not only do they not appear in “subdir” but they DISAPPEAR from \location\ . The same operation done with the operating system works correctly.VERY DANGEROUS

Here we are again.Nope, 15.0.1 is still the same. Horribly slow. Here's some examples from 15. 15.0.1 is exactly the same. Please use V12 instead.Bridge V12 Scrolling with arrow downhttps://youtube.com/shorts/iLTpUOU12p8 Bridge V15 Scrolling with arrow downhttps://youtube.com/shorts/20mmHbCO7NA Bridge V15 Scrolling with arrow keys + page up / downhttps://youtube.com/shorts/RzbjVeP02uU As you can see, 15 is still broken. As I found in an old thread, If I minimize the thumbnails, the performance gets a little better for a few clicks, especially when I use the page down/up. In a folder with about 1000 jpgs and thumbnails set to like 20%, I can press page down/up several times before performance gets back to normal, that is unusable. When I set the thumbnails back to rows with like 7 images, it goes back to normal, again, horrible performance.

Since the new version of Bridge v15.x installed on my Windows PC the various panels - Folders . Metadata, Keywords etc. will now only scroll up/down a single row at a time instead of the previous 3+ rows with each click of the mouse wheel. Mouse-wheel scrolling in Bridge v.14.x worked fine, but something has certainly gone wrong in v15.This is extremely frustrating especially when navigating the folders list or the hierarchical list  of keywords. Yes, I know that I can grab the slider on the side of each panel and use that instead, but for the last few years this has been shrunk to only about 3mm wide and makes it tricky to grab - hence the reason I use the mouse-wheel to scroll these panels. The recent updates to Lightroom Classic, now at v 14.0.1, didn't affect the mouse-wheel scrolling to that program, which currently scrolls 9 rows for each click of the mouse-wheel and is consequently very easy to navigate long lists in the side panels. I've checked through all

Ik kan in het programma Adobe Bridge de sneltoetsen "Label" niet gebruiken, Ctle+1 enz ...Ook op een ander computer (Windows) lukt het niet, ook heb ik Bridge reeds opnieuw geïnstalleerd en nog steeds werkt deze toepassing niet.Ik zoek hiervoor een oplossing.Met dank.Hugo

Greetings,I'm seeing extraordinarily high CPU usage on Adobe Bridge, especially when "idling" - no active process are being run after several hours on the same folder. Attached is a screenshot with relevant information. Any insight would be appreciated.

Guten Tag, bei der neuen Bridge Version 15.0.0 gibt es wieder ein altbekanntes Problem. In den Fenstern "Ordner" und "Favoriten" ist die Scrollgeschwindigkeit wieder voll daneben wenn man mit dem Mausrad scrollt. Ich bin jetzt wieder auf die Version 14.1.3 zurück gegangen denn da funktioniert alles noch normal. Bitte um Behebung dieses Fehlers denn momentan kurbelt man sich mit dem Mausrad zu Tode wenn man scrollen will. 

I updated to the new Bridge 2023 and now all of the fields in the file info panels do not wrap the text.  My keywords are one long string of text.  Is there a way to fix this through settings or is this a bug? I need to revert back to the old version for now. Joe

Anyone else having issues with the previews in Bridge 2025 (15.0.0.397) being extremely low quality? Just updated and the quality of the previews are horrible; very pixelated. Maybe I'm missing some setting somewhere but attached are the current settings, which I believe I've been using in all previous versions. (Running Windows 10 by the way) Any ideas?  

HI!I have a series of file.jpg,I have to rename using a series of names present in an excel column, is it possible? 

Can someone PLEASE explain what setting I should use for my Bridge Cache so that it ACTUALLY WORKS AGAIN! This is getting to the point that bridge is becoming unusable - Almost daily I have to purge the cache just for it to actually look inside and refresh folder content.This never used to be a problem, but its now constant and yet another irritation that makes my day harder.

I used to do picture culling in Lightroom Classic, however, under my laptop environment when large batch is processed it pretty slow.  I moved to Bridge and found that Bridge has better performance.  In the culling process, I just want to quickly browse through my folders of photos (over ten/twenty thousands in day) and mark my rating/color label.Although Bridge is relatively faster than LRC, I still experienced slowness and frozen screen ocassionally.  Sometimes, I saw the status bar showed that the image is being updated for high quality.  Since I just want to get a feel of the pictures then rate them, I do not need all the details in this stage.  (My plan is after culling I shall move the picked pictures to Lightroom.)  Speedy culling is my priority, and I don't want to wait for its update for quality display at all.I searched through Edit > Preferences, and I did not seem to locate a way to control the quality of the preview images and thumbnails.&n

It has been some time since HEIC support was added to photoshop and camera raw for windows, and recently also added to Bridge. But still we cannot change the camera raw preferences to edit both jpeg, heic and tiffs with camera raw, nor right click an heic file and open it via camera raw. The only way to do so is to open up each image in photoshop and then open them in camera raw. Good luck when you have hundreds of images...

I have multiple photoshoots that i manage in bridge, in seporate folders. I need to start sharing these photos to a broad team, using libraries. I also want have the team easily search for the photos that they want based on descriptions (electrical, painting, plumbing etc). It seams easy enough to add the description to one file at a time but as soon as i select multiple I loose that option. I tried doing the same in the creative cloud app but even if i select multiple items it only changes the description of the last item selected.  How is this done?

I'm trying to associate my MP4 videos to open in Media Player but I can't find the EXE file when I click browse. I have found the legacy Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe) in...C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player But, where do I browse to for the new Media Player app?  Thanks!

I do so appreciate that Bridge remains an open app while using my iMac (always up to date), but I find that when quitting Bridge, I have to go through the FORCE QUIT in the Apple menu; the normal quit does nothing.  Anyone with similar experiences?

Habe plötzlich diese Meldung und Camera RAW lässt sich aus der Bridge nicht mehr starten. PS auf neuesten Stand upgedatet, ohne Erfolg. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich das Problem löse?

When I start Adobe Bridge 2024 it is always minimised to the task bar.It never opens fullscreen. I've deinstalled, removed all preferences, purged all of the caches (re-started with Alt + Ctrl + shift) But the application just stays minimised in the Task bar. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Adobe Bridge v2024. 14.1.2

My workflow uses Bridge to copy images to an external SSD, from which I select the photos I want to import into LrC. I am running macOS Sequoia on an M3 MacBook with lots of ram. All has worked well until, suddenly, the whole process has slowed to a crawl. The photo downloader takes an age to load/render the thumbnails so that on a big CFExpress A card it can take many minutes just to get through that first stage. Once selected, the photos are also taking much longer to copy over.I have tried different cards and readers but the result is the same. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Bridge.What is confusing to me is that it was working fine after the Bridge 2025 update and I don't think there have been any other updates since. anyone else sharing this experience?

Depuis plusieurs années j'utlise le module de sortie dans Bridge pour généré des planches contact pour mes clients. Depuis la MAJ je n'arrive pas à finaliser mes PDF, le programme me dit qu'il est impossible de généré un pdf et que la cause est inconu. J'ai redémarer mon ordinateur,  fait du ménage sur mon disque dur,  des idées ? 

I'm not sure what's going on with the new Bridge, but I finally got fed up with it enough to remove it and go back to the previous version. While 2022 isn't perfect, it's at least usable. I'm not sure why a software company would remove features that have been baked into their product for years, but it is extremely annoying and gives the impression that the developers don't have any idea what's important to their users. This is glaringly obvious with the newest version of Bridge. Stuff that has been a part of my normal workflow either isn't available anymore or doesn't work as it should. BASIC functions like deleting files, opening multiple windows, and even knowing what file or folder is selected are either gone or are glitchy.  I've joked for a while now that Adobe started following the Microsoft model for rolling out products before they were thouroughly vetted and tested, but the newest Bridge takes the cake for what not to do when developing a new version of a

Anyone else having problems after importing photos from a Nikon Z9 off a CF express B card not deleting even though the delete after import is selected?!

I have the file associations set the way I want them, although half the time bridge does not follow my selections. And it will randomly decide to change the ones it does acknowlege and I can't change them back. I want PNGs, JPEGs and TIFFs to default toPhotoshop, not Illiustrator, but I'm stuck changing them manually every time I want to open one. How can I stop this. It may not seem to be a big thing, but it slows my work process down considerably.
