I love Adobe Bridge 2022 workflow! But, ...

Why can't you convert to .PSD? I can do PNG, JPG, etc., but not PSD!

The aging Image Processor could make .PSD!

Why can't the Workflow workspace in Bridge 2022?

To be clear, I am discussing the new "Workflow" feature of Bridge which imitates the Image Processor script which took a series of images and saved them as a new batch of images and also can resize them, rename them, apply metadata, etc. 

 

To do this, Bridge operates Photoshop in order to do these chores.

 

This new built-in workspace of Bridge is excellent, even including the ability to save as .DNG files, but the oddest omission is the ability to Save As a Photoshop file.

 

This is the only thing missing. Why? It is the thing you would want the most!

Because Bridge is not Photoshop.

Bridge *drives* Photoshop. It's workflow should feature .psd before all other file types.

I'm not sure I agree with that, but we don't make the decisions. The developers would need to change their format support.

Still, the question is why? PSD is the file type I want and use the most! New feature as less useful? I dunno.

The Image Processor sends files to Photoshop. I recommend doing the same if you need PSD files.
