Question

Gone back to previous version of Bridge

I quite liked the look of the new Bridge (V13) but I have had numerous problems. Like looking at a photograph and then moving on and looking at another but it still keeps the first one selected. This is annoying when trying to edit one but catastrophic when you decide you want to delete ONE photo and it deletes two. Also I have found it keeps jumping all over the place with my photos. I am going through editing them and choose the next and it jumps to the top or the bottom ??  I have also noticed a weird problem with the screen flickering like pulsing. Not sure if the program does not like my graphics card but I have never had this issue before this update

 

So its back to the previous version for me

    OK shut down photoshop and then now when I start it again its using the new bridge. I have uninstalled the new one (as the old one is still there) but it keeps just asking to update and wont run...... anyone got any ideas how I can use the old version without it bugging me ???   This is getting annoying

    I have found a workaround for using the old version - I have to open bridge first then it will work with photoshop. If I try and open bridge from photoshop (File > Browse in bridge) like normally it wants to install the new version and wont go any further.

    Same behaviour in my set up with Bridge v12 and Photoshop v24.  Need to open Bridge first.

      Went back too, John. 13 felt strange and "unprecise", the grid function didn't work properly, i even had "pulsating" image previews when inspecting my images full size (went from bright to dark). Also picture deletion didn't work properly. Was afraid to delete more pictures than those selected ... 12 is back home 🙂

        I did that too.
        Basic file functions such as copying and moving in conjunction with mouse and keyboard shortcuts no longer work reliably.
        It's a quiz whether bridge copy or move an image.

          Agreed.  v13 is too buggy.  I have just gone back to v12 and will wait a few months before trying v13 again.  Hopefully Adobe will have debugged it my then.
