Bridge

I'm creating a set of Smart Collections that collate photos into their respective months rather than clicking clicking each metadata date in the Filter panel and manually keeping track of which date I've checked as perusing through. To the best of my knowledge, and what I could search in these and other forums, there doesn't seem to be a way to duplicate a configured Smart Collection so I can rapidly edit the criteria for each month and year. If that is the case, is there a better way to approach this task?

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there is a fix I can pose to our IT department.  I work/connect remotely, doing graphics in a PC environment, and like using Bridge to scroll through our library of graphics. But it appears to be the root cause behind many issues and lost hours of work. It is causing Windows Explorer to crash, and perhaps causing other random issues across other apps--like Acrobat not wanting to open, Illustrator not letting me 'save as', messing with my Teams, and other random issues... I also don't know if it is behind my work computers dying early deaths. (I have been with the company 26 months and have gone through 3 physical PCs and 3 virtual PCs.) IT tells me no one else is having this problem, but I can't tell you if anyone else uses Bridge. After getting set up on my 3rd virtual pc yesterday, I started having problems today. I uninstalled Bridge and things seem to be working better, and my Explorer window i

I have a new (2019) MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.1. I've installed Creative Cloud, including Bridge, PS, Lightroom, and Camera RAW and they are all up to date. I can open PS and Lightroom just fine, but when I try to open Bridge I get a message that "The operation could not be completed. A write permissions error has occurred." This happens whether I open it from the Creative Cloud icon or going through the Applications folder. There is no suggestion as to how to fix this.

Hi I'm Tono, a non native english speaker but most of my work is focused on English language since I an contributor to stock photo marketplaces. I sometimes have dobuts about the spelling of certain words that I do edit in Adobe Bridge: Tittles, Keywords....  all my writings are under the "IPTC Core" tab which is the only tab that I need to integrate the text spell.I wonder if I could get any spell checking of my written words, as all the text editor apps have. Actually some apps allow to integrate certain plugins as Grammarly or any other. I worder if there is any adobe solution for this or actually any other third parties solutions for my needs. Actually any other parallel or alternative solution for my needs woruld be great to know if you had a similar issue and got a solution for that.Thanks in advance Tono

Since updating to Bridge 2024 every time I label or rate an image thumbnail in Bridge a XMP thumbnail is created beside the image thumbnail. I have never experienced this and it is a major distraction clogging upmy film strips. How do I turn off seeing the metadata thumbnails?

Hi all, I could really use some technical help. I have long used exyternal drives and Bridge in its older formats without issue. Recently, about a week, Bridge 2024 has been crashing as has new Beta. Prior to that, I have found that bridge cannot open one of my hard drives and I have to resort to looking at the files in finder which clearly show and open up. Why is Bridge misbehaving? If relevant, at times, The system memory low, please close applciations has come up for a month.  Thanks  

OS: Windows 10 Intended behaviour: Application bar and manu bar are dark in the "dark" and "darkest" theme.Actual behaviour: White menu and application bar even in the dark and darkest theme   

Hello, Something is wrong with my Bridge on my XPS 17 laptop. It takes 1 minute for it to close.  Sometimes it just hang forver or crash. I have to kill it. I am suspecting it the build in SD reader.  Also, my Window Explorer (W11) lags when the Bridge is open. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?Thank you.

I'm new to Bridge and use Lightroom Classic to manage my photo library. When viewing my library via Bridge, however, I cannot see the virtual copies of my library. (I've no filter enabled in Bridge.) Please help me resolve this so that all files incl. virtual copies can be seen in Bridge.  

Thumbnails for my mp4-video files from Pixel 4 and Pixel 7 phones are not rendered/shown in Bridge 2023 and Bridge 2022 on Windows 11.The files themself are playing back well in Windows 11. But even imported in Adobe Premiere Elements, the files from Pixel 4 phones are audio only and the mp4 files from Pixel 7 are at least playable in PE. Things I tried:- "Purge Cache for Selection"- Delete all files from AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files- Delete all files from AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache

When I download pictures from my camera in Bridge I always get double pictures.

sorry, I am here the first time. I can't get Bridge to work properly, when iphone 15 pro is connected to my laptop (win11). 3 or 4 pics: no prob. But more leads to following error msg: "transformation cannot be multiplied. GDI-state: invalid parameter. One could cry ... ( I do use Bridge since over 10 years. Never had such problems with lighning cable. Now USB-C cable... Does anybody encounter similar problems? And the discussion software tells me that I should correct the highlighted errors. THere is NOTHING highlithed 😞

As a full-time professional sports car racing photogrpher, I take tens of thousands of images each event. I spend hours each day tagging my images with relevant keywords for the car number shown in the image. Then, I sort by car number to find the best images for each car. Again, this takes hours. If there was a way for Adobe Bridge to us AI technology to identify the car shown (at least find the car number on it!) or use machine learning to "recognize" the car even if a number isn't shown (cars often have unique colors as well as numbers), that would be a GAME CHANGER for my workflow. I'd at least get several more hours of sleep each day.Please consider adding AI technology and machine learning to help apply keywords to images IN BRIDGE.

I have searched extensively about the size of the mouse in Adobe Bridge.  It appears this has been a problem for months if not years.     My mouse works fine in any other application including Photoshop and Lightroom.  But in Bridge the mouse is TINY.   Very tiny!! Almost impossible to use.    When will this get fixed?

Im having an issue with nikon z8 raw files in bridge. To start with i have a pc that is practically as high a spec as possible.when i open a folder in Bridge, it slows to a grinding halt. I dont have this issue with any other raw files from other cameras. Its unworkable. I feel like this must be an issue with Bridge.Trying to sellect multiple images results in a lag of up to 20 seconds before something is selected.

In List view, thumbnail selection has changed slightly from Bridge 12.In Bridge 12, clicking to the right of the property columns will select an item. In Bridge 15 beta, clicking to the right of the columns will not select that item.

With Bridge 9.1.0.338 on Windows 10 1809: The error occurs when I minimize Bridge whether it is fullscreen or not, and then bring it back to view, the panels on the left and right sides disappear. Here is a screen capture of the error: Adobe Bridge Bridge 9.1.0.338 Panels Error on Vimeo. The error does not occur on the previous version and does not happen when I revert back to the previous version of Bridge.   Anyone else having this error?     {Thread renamed by moderator}  

The Preview panel draws thumbnails incorrectly. Labels are sometimes partially shaded and filenames overlap. Varying the size of the Preview panel or changing the UI element size sometimes fixes this and sometimes causes it. 

Aloha all!I'm teaching a photography class, and each week I download students' work onto the classroom computer and use Bridge to apply meaningful keywords related to discussion topics I want to pursue. I do most of this work outside of class hours. Been doing this for years, but this year, it has finally occurred to me that working in front of the classroom computer is really complicating my life. In the first place, I have to schedule my work around other classes. In the second place, it's ergonomically a nightmare.  So, no readon I can't copy those files to an external drive and do the work in my comfy office, right? Except, the list of keywords I use gets more extensive with each assignment I give them. As we get to more advanced levels of instruction, so, too, does my need for certain examples get more specific.  What's the best way to keep the list of keywords synchronized between 2 or more computers? And, if the answer involves Cloud storage of some form, the

I have a script which sets font size for an edittext box. This works in Bridge 12 but not in Bridge 15 beta.Below is a demo script that shows the problem.  try{ testWindow = new Window ('palette', 'font demo', undefined, {closeButton:true}); testWindow.orientation = 'column'; testWindow.alignChildren = ['fill', 'fill']; testWindow.minimumSize = [300, 200]; testPanel = testWindow.add('panel', undefined, 'Test'); testPanel.orientation = 'column'; testPanel.alignChildren = ['fill', 'top']; testPanel.margins = [10, 10, 10, 10]; testPanel.minimumSize = [250, 175]; testPanel.textbox = testPanel.add('edittext', undefined, 'ABC'); testPanel.checkbox = testPanel.add('checkbox', undefined, 'Larger'); testPanel.checkbox.value = false; testPanel.checkbox.onClick = function(){ if(testPanel.checkbox.value == true){ if(Folder.fs == 'Windows'){ testPanel.textbox.graphics.font = 'Tahoma:16'; } else{ testPanel.textbox.graphics.font = 'Ari

Bonjour,J'aurais voulu changer les paramêtres d'accès aux dossier ( bureau, images, téléchargements, etc.) qui on été définit lors de la première ouverture de Bridge.Merci pour vos retours.

Running Bridge v14.1.2.300 on a Mac Pro Intel. OSX 14.6.1.  When I open a RAW file in Camera Raw, Bridge/ACR automatically adds "-2" to the TIFF file name.  This is a new problem, probably related to the latest update.  Any suggestions on how to prevent this will be appreciated!

Bridge changes the open folders when changing the workspace. I don't want the open folders to be saved as part of that workflow layout. I don't want files from months ago to replace my open folders when I change the workspace. For example, if I'm in one workspace and am working on folder A, but also have B and C open, then I switch the workspace and folder A does remain open as the active folder, but I lose folders B and C and now I have folders X, Y, and Z open because they happened to be open when I created the workspace. The workspace should IGNORE the folders that are open at the time you create or save it, and just remember the layout. Folders shouldn't be saved as part of the layout. Instead, when you change a workspace, all open folders should continue to be the open folders in the workspace you shift over to. How do I stop Bridge from saving the folders as part of the layout. It says in the guide that this CAN be done via the preferences settings, but it doesn't

Metadata, Keywords, photo information not displaying,If I go to essentials, I find them populated.Metadata fields are very  small, difficult to write to them,  Changed over the years from original versions of Bridge, keep getting smaller. Seems like each time I update Bridge or PS, something changes, not necessarily improvements! I am shooting in RAW and Jpeg with Canon Mirrorless - Bridge is often NOT RESPONDING - freezes!Running Windows 10 on desktop PC.
