Update Bridge so that it will work with the kind of SMB/Network storage most professionals use.For YEARS users have leaned on Bridge to browse and manage files that are stored on network shares. A lot of the time it just works. Until it doesn’t. When people look for support, the answer is always the same: “Bridge was never designed for use with network shares.”Bridge was “designed” 21 years ago. We’re on version 16. It went through some huge growing pains when transitioned to Apple Silicon native. Of course in 2005 Bridge was not designed to work on ARM processors. Yet, here we are.There are HUNDREDS of questions about network shares on this forum alone, going back at least 15 years. People end up here, because nowhere in Adobe’s documentation for Bridge is this confounding limitation mentioned. In the year 2026, why wouldn’t users assume that Bridge simply works like modern software should.If Bridge is somehow network crippled due to its 21 year old “design”, then why not make a new a

Add the feature to print photos displayed and selected in Bridge.

Witam Przydało by się więcej opcji przy miniaturach parę dodatkowych pól żeby było pod ikonami i żeby było więcej opcji tak jak jest w lightroom Classic

WitamPrzydało by się więcej opcji sortowania zdjęć np. według ogniskowych, według czasu migawki, według ISO, Według ekspozycji, według aparatu, według obiektywu i w ogóle żeby można było sobie wybrać opcje z Exif. 

Adobe has done an outstanding job adding support for new HDR image formats (JPG gain maps, PQ encoded AVIF, etc) to ACR and all versions of Lightroom.  It would be incredibly helpful to add HDR display support to Bridge for those who edit their images in ACR rather than Lightroom (to make it easier to browse and manage these images). Ideally, support would cover both preview (large views) and content (thumbnails / filmstrip) in Essentials / Libraries / Filmstrip / Preview tabs. If prioritization is needed to add support incrementally, the most important is for the preview (large views) in the default view (Essentials).

Restore Bridge to its glory of 2010-2015. Every update has been making the program worse to use and adds extra steps. Also fix the restrain image crop feature. Youve added extra steps that add more time in editing. 

In Adobe Bridge CC, the Output/Contact Sheet PDF feature now truncates long filenames from the middle (e.g. Schinia...CNCLEP00001.jpg) instead of displaying the beginning of the filename and clipping only the end (e.g. Schinia jaegeri_CN....jpg) which is was what was done in previous versions of Bridge.For my scientific imaging workflow, the beginning of the filename contains the important specimen identification information, so this change makes the contact sheets significantly less useful. I routinely create 5 × 8 contact sheets with filenames beneath each image, and the previous behavior worked well for this purpose.Please restore the previous behavior or provide a setting allowing users to choose how long filenames are truncated. Ideally, users should be able to display the beginning of the filename, wrap the filename, or reduce the font size rather than having the middle automatically replaced with an ellipsis.This change is significant enough that I am reverting to Bridge CS6 in

Lightroom writes    xmpDM:pick="1"to XMP for images flagged as picks.  Please add support in Bridge to recognize this attribute.

Hello Adobe Team,I’d like to request a feature that allows users to export and import Bridge collections along with their manual sort order.Currently in Adobe Bridge 2026:Manual sort order for folders and collections is stored in a central database with machine-specific IDs. Copying .filelist or collection XML files alone does not preserve the visual/manual order between machines. There is no user-facing way to export/import collections in a portable format.This limitation makes it difficult for users who:Work across multiple computers. (I use two computers at home and in photo lab at the college I may use a different computer each time.) Collaborate in teams Need to back up curated collections with specific manual orderingBy contrast, in Lightroom Classic, exporting and copying a catalog preserves the sort order, demonstrating that Adobe already has a functional model for portable, ordered collections. The Bridge approach would be somewhat different as Bridge uses the local computer’s

I tend to shoot multiple exposures/bracketing, so I can decide later which is the best candidate to post process. When I am doing first pass on batch of new pictures via Full Screen Preview, it would help to have a histogram of the picture, just like other values (ISO, Tv, Av) - requested in another suggestions here already. Thank you.

i would like to create notepad in bridge instead of in explorer

Would like the ability to sort and Keep Folders on Top.

I would like to suggest that in a future update, Adobe make available the ability to see the focus point in the picture. I understand there is download available in Lightroom Classic but I do not use Lightroom Classic. I prefer to organize my photos, therefore, just use Bridge in to Camera Raw.

I wish Bridge worked like Lightroom and allowed copying one image’s metadata into one or more photos, rather than having to use a template. 

Hi, I've been looking for a way to reset the number sequencing when batch renaming in Bridge but have not been able to find a way to do this. I found some older posts which said it was not possible but nothing more recent so was not sure if this was still a limitation or there is a workaround that may be suggested without having to manually set the sequence number back to 1 each time.What I'm trying to do view all assets within a series of folders which I can do via View -> Show Items from Subfolders. I then Select All and then Batch Rename. This works but the sequencing keeps counting up. I'd like to have it reset back to 1 for each folder.For example- Before Batch RenameFolder: San_FranciscoHas files DSC6060, DSC6065, DSC6068Folder: New_YorkHas files DSC6060, DSC6065, DSC6068Current Output - After Batch RenameFolder: San_FranciscoHas files San_Francisco_1, San_Francisco_2, San_Francisco_3Folder: New_YorkHas files New_York_4, New_York_5, New_York_6Ideal Output - After Batch RenameF

I sort out photos by using the review mode in Adobe Bridge. The carousel is nice, but the selected photo in den middle should be larger. This would be very helpful, thank you!

There is no facility to search the list of keywords for the one I want to add (mine are grouped) into categories. At present I have to have a separate keywords file which I can search in notepad. Ideally it would be great if it could suggest keywords, ideally from a list that I have.

Please develop Culling Photos in bridge, or ACR

IE: from the viewing panel; to open a photo in Bridge, the space bar  is used  and a   double click to send the photo in light room.. Light Room Classic uses the double click to open a photo. Why can’t bridge use the same keystrokes as light room. Use double click to open the photo in its own environment and create a drop down menu  or right click menu to sent to light room. Also let the edit button in this suggestion box also let you edit the title.Commants=Commands

I use Illustrator for all sorts of projects and one of those is to create layout comps for PowerPoint templates so that I can easily export vector elements to use in PowerPoint. PowerPoint supports a variety of image formats, including vector formats (EPS, WMF, and EMF). Through experience, I have found that EMF files are the most stable vector format for PowerPoint. The problem is that I am unable to preview the images I’ve created when it comes down to organizing and archiving a finished project. I’ve been contemplating switching back to a competitor’s standalone software product (no subscription necessary) that will do what Bridge does, and more. The only reason to keep bridge on my system is for the color settings management which, when applied through Bridge, works across all the Adobe software so I don’t have to install it in every program. 

Camera Raw has no customizable toolbar for presets. Frequently used presets should be pinnable as icons directly in the Camera Raw toolbar for one-click access — without opening the preset menu every time.

"In Bridge 2026 with multi-monitor setup, the Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) always opens on the main monitor — not on the monitor where the Preview Panel is located. Please add an option to choose which monitor the Full Screen Preview opens on."

Hello Adobe Bridge Team,I would like to report a long-standing issue with the Preview Panel in Adobe Bridge 2026 on a Mac with Apple Studio Display (5120x2880 / Retina).PROBLEM:The Preview Panel does not scale up images to fill the available panel space. Instead, images are displayed at their native pixel size, resulting in large grey/black borders around the image — even when the image resolution (e.g. 2100px wide) is smaller than the physical display resolution (5120px).This makes the Preview Panel practically useless on high-resolution Retina displays, as images appear very small regardless of panel size.Affected features:• Preview Panel (floating or docked)• Full Screen Preview via Spacebar (opens on wrong monitor in multi-display setups)• "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" option in Preferences → Advanced does not reliably fix the issue and resets after every Bridge restartSETUP:• Mac with Apple Studio Display (5120x2880)• Adobe Bridge 2026• Multi-monitor setup (Studio Display + 2x
