How can I make Adobe Bridge read the dimensions and resolution of PNG files the same way as Photosho

Why does Adobe Bridge show different dimensions and resolution for PNG files compared to what is shown in Photoshop, while other file formats (like JPG, TIFF) are consistent? How can I make Adobe Bridge read the dimensions and resolution of PNG files the same way as Photoshop does?

Resolution metadata in PNG files has been a longstanding problem. There may not BE resolution data in many PNG files, and the default resolution is not consistent across apps. You can use EXIFTool to take a closer look at problem files.
