Questions

Hi there, I was re-organizing an old bunch of photos under LrC and Br (respectively 2026 versions) and I noted one thing: the EXIF value for color “mode” under Bridge is: RGB  (under LrC → Metadata Panel → Exif section I wasn’t even able to see this value!!! Why?) Now I’m pretty sure that at that time my camera’s color space was set to AdobeRGB and if I open this image with the MacOS preview and then I go to the the its inspector (cmd+i) what I got is that: in the General tab the “colour mode” is RGB (as in Bridge) but in Picture Style tab I got “AdobeRGB, 2, 2” under picture Style Colour Spaceso, somehow, the information about which colour space was set on the camera for shooting this picture is correctly reported. Now the question is simple: how come that Bridge doesn’t report it correctly? and is there way to correctly have the color space in EXIF data under Adobe apps? 

Have been able to add keywords and change capture time in Bridge (all versions) up until recently. However, created a few with Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra this month. None of these are able to be edited by Bridge - tried all versions, including the latest beta. The videos were taken in H.264 format.Current version Bridge is 16.0.2.23Is there anything else I can do?

how does one import CSV file metadata into Adobe Bridge selected images?(thus speeding up AI keywording process)

With my old laptop I could rate pictures in Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) mode, then I could see the rating in the lower left corner. But with my new Mac Book Air, I can only rate in the list of the file names. It doesn’t work in Full Screen or Review Mode anymore. How can I fix this?

Duplicate Collections do not preserve custom sort of the original. Tried every suggestion - drag and drop, "pre-set" manual, duplicate file in finder. Each method scrambles the sequence in the new collection. I do not want to rename the files in the original collection. Working with Bridge 2026, Mac OS 26.2.  Is this a hopeless pursuit?

I ran out of disk space on an external hard disk, so I moved a large folder of photographs to a different external disk. Now photographs that were in the original place are lost in an important bridge collection. I can relocate them one by one in Bridge using the “Fix” dialog, but there are hundreds to fix. Question 1: Is there any way to to point Bridge to the new location of the folder and tell it to fix all pointers to photographs in that folder? Question 2: I am solving my storage problem by buying new larger disks. How can I avoid the same problem when I move all photographs to a new disk? Thanks,Phil

Starting a few days ago, having selected an image to edit in ACR I found that choosing the Brush Tool produced an error message: “Bridge has encountered a problem and has to close.” I reported this but have received no advice by email. I deleted Bridge and re-installed: same problem occurs. I’ve cleared the cache: made no difference. I’ve updated PS & ACR: no difference.Having re-subscribed to Adobe CC only recently I am disenchanted with this persistent fault and zero contact from Adobe.

Working with LOT of images. Editing events. It's the M O S T  D R E A D E D  part of my photo life, because I edit in Bridge aka the slowest editing software on the planet Earth and beyond. Creating previews - takes forever. Getting 100% preview sharpness - takes forever. Exporting using Image Processor - IS. THE. SLOWEST. PROCESS... yeah you guessed it.. On planet Earth and beyond. I think I see my plants growing while waiting for Image processor to render from Raw to JPEG. Will make another post about that too. THIS TIME:I'm looking at 300 images at this moment. I want to scroll down, up, doesn't matter. I grab the scrolling bar, move it down and... the show started... Everything becomes unresponsive, meaning, I cannot stop it, I cannot click anything because - the scroll bar keeps on scrolling. It just scrolls... one screen down, two, three, four, and keeeeeps on scrolling. My options - take a 3 hour break, which I cannot because I AM PAID to edit the images. Or

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?

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. Photoshop user since v. 3. 🙂 Sorry, originally I sent this message accidentally to the Fresco group, as it was not obvious to find, as to how to find “Ask a question”, in contrast to the previous situation (when the tab was clearly visible on the front page).

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

In Bridge 15 HEIC files are not displayed (no thumbnail, no preview, no full screen picture), if the name of the folder includes special German characters (ö, ü, ä) - tested with "ö".  With usual folder names HEIC files are displayed correctly. The bug is still in version 15.03.525 under up-to-date Windows 11 24H2. Please forward this bug to the development department. The workaround to rename the folder names is not a useful solution. Some weeks ago I had a chat with the hotline, but the ticket has been closed as solved at the same day. Seems that they did not understand the problem correctly.

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

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

Since April 2021, have not been able to use Photodownloader in Bridge with my new CFExpress card.  It does not detect it.  It does detect and function with SD card from same camera and card reader.  The CFExpress card is on the desk top.  Adobe has not been able to resolve despite numerous calls and attempts.  Anyone else having this isssue.  Using a work around by directly copying from card to file but it does not convert to DNG as I prefer.   

I haven't used Bridge for years. I used to use it (for photos) the way I now use Lightroom for previwing and organisting images. I remember it would also work farily quickly for videos. Now it seems to not work at all. I have been importing 100s of videos (MP4 and MOV), and there are no thumbnails or previews. These are files I can see thumbnails in Windows explorer, and play thme when I double click on them.  Is this expected behavour?

I just got a new iMac M4, & expected Bridge to look the same as on my MacBook, but the interface is totally different. The main issue (of several) is that I cannot get any of the folders in the Favourites’ pane on the left-hand side to open. Normally I double click or right-click & select ‘open’, but neither of these work; the folders are unresponsive. I thought it may be an issue with the mouse, but the double & right clicks work everywhere else.I’d be grateful for any suggestions!

Bridge will usually generate previews with the wrong size when "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" has been enabled (checked). I would guess that this bug has been present for a while. The setting can be found here: Preferences -> Advanced -> Generate Monitor-Size Previews On my system (see below), I have a monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. When "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is not checked, Bridge generates preview files with a pixel width of 2048 pixels in this cache folder (2048 seems to be the default size):    C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge\Cache\v36\1024\... Then, when checking "Generate Monitor-Size Previews", I see preview files with a width of 2560 pixels for new files, which may be the expected width (but see note below *). However, with "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" still checked, I exit Bridge, then starts Bridge again, then I double check that "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is still set in Preferences

I just tried to install Bridge on my new Surface Pro 11, which uses a Snapdragon ARM processor. While Photoshop works, Bridge would not install as the error message said a version of Bridge is not available for this processor. Does anyone know if Adobe plans to deliver a version of Bridge that works with the Snapdragon processor?  Thanks

After processing RAW data with Camera Raw from Bridge and exporting it to JPEG, I cannot restart Bridge after closing it. When I check the Task Manager, I see that it remains as a background task. If I end this task, I can start Bridge again. This issue doesn't always occur, but it seems to happen more often after handling a large amount of data or working for a long time. The versions of Bridge I am using are 2021, 2024, and 2025, and my OS is Windows 11. Does anyone know the cause and solution for this problem?
