Community says: BRIDGE is free. Adobe offers some craze "plans", containing huge number - so called "programs", which are for NOTHING! There are not in the world human being, who needs such largely spread needs: from graphics, publishing, photography, management, and hundreds completely unusefull "tools" - possibly needed for the only SOME ONE ELSE! I work with the ONLY photographs. I make NONE graphics and I do mnot "manage nothing, using graphics" as wall as I do not publish anything in raster nor vector graphics. Adobe's offer contains crazy "plans" with evenly crazy huge offer unneeded "tools". Trying to install of the (FREE?) Bridge, the installation file HAD NEVER STARTED. Is then Bridge (add Camera RAW) publicly available or it is the following Adobe mistification, as many other? Working with some PROFESSIONAL TOOL, I MUST have full knowledge about its feasibility, when Adobe try to convince me, that I MUST looking for tools which are CONTINUOSLY CHANGING!!! What a great professionals works for ADOBE... Such solutions work good for MARKETING STAFF ONLY - this does not need to work with tools they offer! It is crazy  and build the angry people, expecting PROFESSIONAL attitude for PROFESSIONAL WORKS. Tell me than, HOW I CAN download the newest BRIDGE (ONLY Bridge - without any other trash) - which is FREE - and HOW INSTALL it in my good working CS6, which is slightly too old, but good enought to be renewed by Adobe, and is not being planned to be updated. because ALL that Adobe needs is MONEY for the trash in the Cloud... Really stupid policy..., forcing not wise solutions, serving for THE REAL PROFESSION!

ACR is a plug in - while "owned" by Bridge, it's actually a Photohsop plug-in and I believe it is not part of the "free" Bridge. 

 

Is Bridge still free?

If you possess Photoshop CS6 installation disc you should be able to install Bridge CS6 as well.

@Kukurykus Maybe yes, maybe no. CS6 has a 32 bit installer. If the user has a new 64-bit computer, they will not be able to work.

What an eccentric post. If you don't work with graphics, Adobe's tools aren't going to be very interesting to you. Bridge is free with many of the paid plans, but why do you even care, and why do you have CS6 if you don't like graphics.


ANYWAY, DON'T INSTALL ANY PART OF CREATIVE CLOUD if you have CS6 and want to keep it. It will eat it alive and gobble it all up. Even the free things will. Keep using that creaky old Bridge CS6.
