Add Missing Professional Export Options to Bridge

Bridge Export Dialog Is a Squandered Opportunity
 

Lightroom already has an export panel that is close to ideal: clear, complete, and efficient. Bridge, meanwhile, offers a much more limited version, for no obvious reason.

Please add:

  • LZW compression for TIFF

  • JPEG XL

  • WebP

  • resizable export window

  • proper rename controls on export

Right now the panel has a fixed height, so users have to scroll through stacked collapsible sections like this is still an early prototype. Add to that the missing rename options, and the whole feature starts to feel far less useful than it should be. The Workflow panel suffers from the same problem.

Bridge should not have a noticeably weaker export workflow than Lightroom.

    Bridge leans heavily on Photoshop for exports. More options would be nice but there are still serious performance problems and things like cloud service support that need addressing. Bridge COULD be a lot better. :sigh:
