Bridge

When I have a folder with images that I want to open in Bridge, I used to be able to drag and drop the folder on the Bridge icon in the dock. This would launch Bridge and open to show all the images in that folder. This no longer works. Instead I have to launch Bridge, navigate to my external drive and then browse down until I get to the folder I want.I have a Mac computer running Ventura MacOS version 13.2.1. My Bridge version is 13.0.3. I have granted Bridge Full Disk Access in System Settings Privacy and Security.Does anyone know how I can get back to dragging and dropping folders onto Bridge?

I used to be able to rate pictures on my old laptop in Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) mode, and I could see the rating in the lower left corner. But with my new MacBook Air, I can only rate in the list of the file names. But the rating doesn't work in Full Screen or Review Mode anymore. How can I fix this?

Occurs consistently with multiple RAW files.Notice: can’t upload raw files:  Sorry, we couldn’t upload your file because it's too big. Maximum file size: 5 Mb

Hi! I have my PS files on Google’s MyDrive in a folder. MyDrive and the folder are clearly visible and functional on my iMac and MBP M2 at the Finder level. However, Bridge doesn’t see them, although the files are off-line downloaded, physically, on my iMac’s external disk. ChatGPT tells me that I can work with my files in this way (and it sounds just rational). By now, my iMac and MBP are working fine. I haven’t any other issues with my two Macs. This is (once more) a strange thing with Adobe products. No other app in my life has ever objected to follow Finder in my Mac! So, how can I see the files on my Macs?? Regards, TuomasPS.

When browsing thumbnails using the arrow keys, Bridge will start scrolling through all the photos until it reaches the end of the folder. This makes Bridge unusable for browsing thumbnails.

Hi all!I've made a script to fill in a feature missing from Bridge, the ability to copy metadata between files. It currently only supports a limited subset of metadata fields (the ones I use the most), but I'm happy to fufil requests to add more.Currently, these fields can be copied:HeadlineDescriptionKeywordsAlt Text (Alt Text & Extended Description)Location (Sublocation, City, State, Country, and Country Code)Usage:Select a file.Right click > Copy Property... OR Tools > Copy Property...Select the fields you would like to be copiedSelect the files you would like to paste toRight click > Paste Property OR Tools > Paste Property. You have the option of Overwriting the existing values or Appending, which appends Keywords but overwrites other fields.Installation:Go to Preferences and select the "Startup Scripts" tab.Click "Reveal Scripts in Explorer"Place the script file in the folder that opensRestart BridgeWhen prompted upon restarting, choose to enable the script.If the

HEIC files are not displayed when the name of the folder they're in contains special characters, such as German umlauts (ü,ö), Chinese, Japanese, Korean characters and others. This bug was already reported and acknowledged a year ago and is still present in 16.0.2.23.

Hi,when exporting through the export panel.  I have square transparent png files that I want to crop to a 2/3 format.  When filling everyting in, the first weird thing is that the numbers are 2000,0000 pixels as a format.  Then when exporting the file is indeed 2000 pixels in width, but the heigth is only 1pixel.Thx

Photo open in the Bridge /camera raw 18.2 i can’t choose option ,crop as shoot ,it’s not active stay gray, any tip?

I am using Bridge 16.0.0.63 with the latest macOS software. I have a store of 22,000 images. I seem to have lost the function to search and retrieve images. I don’t understand why? Grateful for simple help please? Thank you Mike

Il problema sta in camera raw che richiamo da Bridge. Lavorando files in .DNG salvando il lavoro, il file non viene scritto sull’hard disk. Premetto che ho lavorato tutto il giorno e funzionava correttamente, da un’ora circa non si riesce più a salvare. La procedura si salvataggio non da nessun errore sembra che proceda normalmente, invece non scrive il file (in formato .jpeg) su hard disk

All export processes in Bridge work fine. Small PSDs to jpg , in the same or another folder, with or without resizing.But I have some big (1.5 Go) PSD files. When I try to export it to jpg, the job is done (the jpg is well created) but the process never end ==> I have to cancel the process (wth confirmation).At this time, if i want to close Bridge, that says a process is currently on going… Only solution is to CRASH bridge manually.Thanks for your helpEric from France

eg har installert Photoshop 26 og Bridge 26, men... når jeg åpner mine billedfiler med Adobe Bridge can ikke filen åpnes med å trykke på ikonet for å forhåndsredigere bildene mine før jeg åpner de i PS-26.. Har dette noe med innstillinger å gjøre?? 

Good morning. The Bridge and Photoshop versions have been updated to V2026. I uninstalled Photoshop version 2025. Now, when I double-click to open a photo in the new Photoshop in Bridge, an error message appears saying that it cannot find version 2025 and the file won't open in the new version. It only opens if I right-click and select "open with Photoshop 2026". Can you help me, please? Thank you. Fernando

Hi guys, question: Why does Adobe Bridge from version 2025 not show thumbnails/previews for the MP4 (maybe other rich media files with video content)? It was so a handy/useful function, and it really works well. I didn´t change anything in the production chain, taking video the same way as I did before, and it stops working and displays just an annoying icon of the player instead. I tried to clean up the cache (Purge cache for selection) as well as to reinstall HEVC codecs in Windows, but nothing helped. Is there any reason why this stops working? Thank you very much for the answer. Have a nice day 🙂Configuration: PC / Windows 10 fully updated / Adobe CC 2025 all apps / GPU Nvidia - drivers updated as well.

Ich habe einen HP-Laptop: HP EBUltraG1q X1E7810 14 16GB/1T PC und die Adobe Creative Suite. Aber Bridge läuft mit dem Snapdragon X Elite-Prozessor nicht mehr, bzw. ich sehe die App nicht mehr. Wie kann ich das wieder in Gang bringen, mit dem früheren Laptop war Bridge dabei
