My suggestion would be to be able to lock tabs to a specific directory or file that cannot be accidentally changed.

I’m a working pro product photographer still on Bridge 12. Newer releases, including v16, simply will not handle large numbers of files.I have been working with an image catalog of over 100,000 files, mostly JPEG images. Bridge 12 can load this many, scroll through the list, run scripts, display thumbs, etc without choking.Bridge 16 will not even show this many files. It simply beachballs and has to be force quit.This doesn’t even count all the UI problems and bugs, just being usable at all.I’m not looking for troubleshooting- if Bridge 12 handles a task, I expect Bridge 16 to do so as well. If it can’t then the older version should remain available for installation.

I dont know if I am using it wrong, but I feel like the Zoom/Magnification in adobe bridge is pretty bad. I would personally much rather have it like adobe Lightroom, where u can click and it zooms in slightly, and then hold + drag to zoom in/out as much as you would like. It would make it so much easier to see details in my photos. hope this can get updated pretty fast, would make checking photos so much easier in adobe bridge, and I feel like it should have already been a thing years ago.Thank you

Description:As a frequent user of Adobe Bridge, I often review large batches of images taken in variable lighting conditions. A key part of my workflow is quickly identifying and rejecting photos that are either underexposed, overexposed, or lacking in color information. These tasks are best informed by viewing a histogram. However, Bridge currently does not display a histogram for selected images unless they are first opened in Camera Raw or another editor, adding unnecessary steps and time to the culling process.Proposed Feature:Add a real-time histogram preview for the currently selected image directly within the Bridge interface, e.g. in the Preview or Metadata panel. This feature would allow users to instantly see the distribution of tonal and color information, enabling much faster and more objective image culling without leaving Bridge or engaging in manual edits first.Benefits:Streamlines workflow: Quickly assess exposure and color balance without opening each image individuall

Al momento de descargar el audiograma en adobe podcast, seria genial q exista el tema transparente y ademas me permita cambiar el color de las letras.

When I plug my cameras into Bridge, it alternates between different drive letters as my cameras have 2 cards.  It alternates between card 1 (H:) and card 2 (L:) as I plug each camera in via the USB cable.I would love to be able to specify H: to be the first drive that is selected, rather than having to check and then click or not if it isn’t… as all my images and videos are stored on H: but only images onto L: as a backup…ALSO, it would be really useful if Bridge could be made to realise that the current dated folder which it’s already got open, had had more images saved to that folder, and not open another version of Bridge, which then needs closing - I hope someone follows, as I’m probably not explaining this too well ?!

Often I like to rate my images with stars, and when I have them rated/sorted I usually put on sort by rating so I then get all the photos after each other and I can put them into different folders and stuff. I thinks its pretty good the way it is now, but I also think it could be a bit better, and make it even faster. I think it would be nice to have a feature similar to the stacking feature, where you can select images, rightclick and choose “Group selection in new folder”. It could probably also be a shortcut like CTRL + Shift+ G if that is available… Since you already can make folders in Bridge I feel like it would be pretty easy to add this feature, and it would make the workflow smoother. Thanks

I know Bridge already recognises .ssg and .sbsar, but it would be nice if it could recognise .smod files as well as all the common file formats, those also supported by the software of the substance suite ..OBJ, .FBX, .MTL, .USDA etc... 

Adobe Bridge could have AI for selection of best frames, eye focus, background, exposure etc for bursts of wildlife photos. Also AI search for adobe bridge.

As you add a assisted culling feature in Lightroom and lightroom classic, I think it will also very useful in bridge. Where we can see our photos focused and other thing. 

Feature Request for Adobe Bridge – Folder Creation PresetsProduct: Adobe BridgeUser role: Professional PhotographerCategory: Workflow / File Management Feature Request: Custom Folder Presets for One-Click Folder Creation Hello Adobe Bridge team, I am a professional photographer who uses Adobe Bridge every day to organize, review, and classify shooting files. Folder structure consistency is a critical part of my daily workflow. Current limitationAt the moment, Bridge only provides a single “New Folder” button. Each time I create a folder, I have to manually type the folder name.For professional users who repeat the same folder structures every day, this becomes unnecessarily time-consuming and error-prone. Typical real-world workflowFor almost every shooting day, I create folders like: Select JPG RAW Sometimes additional folders like MP4, Export, etc. This process repeats dozens of times per week, always with the same names and hierarchy. Proposed feature I would love to see

As a bridge user for over 5 years I can't help but complain about no longer having Bridge 2022(12.01, 12.0.2, 12.0.3, and 13.0.1) available to download via the creative cloud app. I take a great deal of bracketed images that I manually group via the shift key + arrow keys and the Command+G Grouping keyboard shortcut. In the newer versions of Bridge this workflow is virtually impossible without countless mouse clicks instead of using the arrow keys. As you group(Command+G) your photos and press the right arrow key to then group your next photo group your cursor gets placed back at the origin of the files instead of on the next image. For Example: You've just completed 20 photo groups and are about to group the next photo set. You hit the right arrow key and now your cursor is back at photo group 1 instead of being at the next photo. Now you must arrow key over the next 20 photos or take your hand off the keyboard and use your mouse to click the next photo group. I have submitt

When batch renaming I would like the old name to be added to the keywords list. this way when renaming the old name can still be found.  

Users should be able to edit camera data or GPS data via Bridge.  Some cameras like the GoPro Max 2 do not save that info in their meta data. Users should be able to edit the creation date via Bridge. Some novelty cameras do not save the dates correctly. Users should be to save the size of certain textbox’s like the keywords when editing meta day.

I would like an on system solution that does not use your servers or the internet. It would use local resources to index and search my graphic library. I have many terabytes of clip art, mainly vector, with some video and some photo assets. I want Adobe Bridge to sort and help manage these assets using an indexing tool similar to what Premiere Pro uses when you import videos and can search within them. When I navigate to a project or asset library folder, it should surface relevant content I am looking for. This way, instead of using AI to generate content, I can find content I have already created, including assets that were misplaced or stored in folders I did not realize they were in. Also, I would like to see an implementation where Bridge includes a project management system.  If I am building assets for my main graphic library, I could mark them as general graphic library assets that are usable at any time. If I am building assets for a franchise, for ex

Adobe Bridge should include a File menu option to close Content Tabs, with support for assigning a keyboard shortcut. Currently, closing tabs requires mouse interaction, which is inefficient when working with many assets. Since the File menu already includes options to open tabs, it would be logical and consistent to also include an option to close the active tab, allowing users to assign a shortcut and streamline their workflow. Additionally, there is an inconsistency in terminology: in the File menu they are called Content Tabs, while in the tab hamburger menu they are referred to as Panels. Unifying this terminology would improve clarity.If you agree, please add a comment that says "agreed".

When there are multiple layers in a Photoshop file before exporting the image, It's a pain to have to open Photoshop just to find a specific layer. Furthermore, repeatedly showing and hiding layers is a pain. Just like you can view images in Bridge, you can also view layers in Photoshop as thumbnails. "Double-click a specific thumbnail" → "Expand in Photoshop" → "Edit specific original layer" I would be happy if I could do that.

Guten Morgen Ich würde mir wünschen, es bestehe die Option bei der Dateipoperation verschieben von Ordnern in z.B. Unterordner, dass  bei bstehendenen Ordnern die Inhalte in diese integriert werden können. Dieses Verhalten bin ich z. B. vom OS (Windows 11) oder auch Programmen wie ACDsee gewohnt und empfinde sie als nützlich. Das mögen andere Menschen vielleicht anders sehen, daher wäre meine Idee, dieses als Option bei den Voreinstellungen anzubieten (oder alternativ in diesem Pop-up).  

I miss being able to either scrollwheel or zoom in and out be clicking and tragging the mouse in adobe Bridge. I feel like this is a very important feature when looking through photos. When you need to see smalldetails, but also want to see it in a little bit bigger picture. I feel like the zoom we have now is way too close, and it feels very restrictive. I dont know if there is a feature I dont know about, but I feel like this should be a thing already. Just use the same zoom as photoshop or lightroom, I dont know?.Thanks

My colleagues and I have been requesting for many years that the Bridge output preview should also allow the import of multi-page PDFs. Optionally, with the ability to switch from "all" to specific pages.

Please consider adding more colour options for colour labels. They are easy to use and significantly speed up workflow, allowing for quick differentiation between hundreds of files by colour. While there are ratings and keywords available, they do not provide the same visual impact. Colour is registered in the brain much quicker and makes it easier to distinguish between file types. The only improvement we need is more options, please!

I use a lot of keywords to tag photos. When the lists are longer than my display, I have to scroll to find the keyword. It would be helpful if the keyword window could display multiple columns. This would limit or eliminate scrolling and speed up the tagging process. Thanks for consideration

Cmd-Shift-K / Ctrl-Shift-K Color Settings dialogue box opens scrolled to the bottom of the long list upon opening but custom settings (the ones you'd expect to a user to want, surely?) are shunted to the top of the list. Can it either not auto scroll to the bottom of the list, or if it has to, can the custom settings be appended rather than prepended? Have to do this hundreds of times a year, I know it's a small thing but it's a lot time over the couple of decades I've been doing it! Thanks 

Warning: Thisi s a rant. If you do not like rant, please skip this thread. Thank you I really cannot believe. - I have Photoshop CS6 installed on my computer. - I have Photoshop and Bridge CC also installed. - Cs6 is not my default Photoshop version to use. It's just for certain times I may need it. (for example, being offline or not having internet connection.- Photoshop CC is my daily Adobe app.- Brdige CC has set my default app to Photoshop CS6 instead of CC. Really in 2026? - Even worse, Bridge CC (the latest version) is nto aware I have Photoshop CC installed in my computer. Really in 2026? - So if I want to go and change the default to CS6 to CC, I have to browse/navigate to the folder where Photoshop exe file is located because as I said Brdige CC does not see Photoshop CC simply because I have CS6 version on my computer. - I have to do this for every single file type in the list, because Bridge CC does not have a batch processing fea

Before the new remove "Reflections, People, and Dust" became part of the "Remove" tool, I was able to create a preset based simply on the "Remove" tool alone to remove things like camera sensor dust.  Now I don't have that option and the remove "Dust" doesn't find all of the sensor dust.  Any ideas until I can get my sensor cleaned?  Any chance of making only the "Remove" tool a preset option again?
