Image Size in Adobe Bridge

Is there any way to see Image Size from within Bridge. I know that you can see it if you open the file in Photoshop, but I don't want to have to do that for each image just to see the image size. It is not an option to have it listed in the metadata as far as I can see. You can list resolution, file size and dimensions, but not image size. I want to use Bridge to upload images to Adobe Stock, but there is a 4MP minimum image size requirement. I have no way of finding the image size easily. (I could calculate it from the dimensions in pixels multiplied by the number of channels, I think, but I'm not exactly sure -- plus I don't want to have to do math!)

Correct answer SuperMerlin

Yes, SuperMerlin, you are correct, but that is way off topic. All I wanted to know was weather the Image Size value is listed anywhere within Bridge. Do you know? I'm guessing it's not since no one has jumped in and said so.


No it isn't but a script can display that information for jpeg, other file types would be more difficult.

You can request it to be added @ Photoshop Family Customer Community

First of all, you really want to upload larger files than 4MP.

Second, bit depth has NOTHING to do with image resolution (megapixels.) Megapixels is an area measurement, width x height.

1633px x 2450px is the closest 2:3 ratio size for 4MP.

Just do the math, a cheap desk calculator is a good friend.

Came across this whilst trying to solve a similar problem. You can [kinda] do this in bridge.

A 4 Megapixel image works out at about 2667 x 1500 (16/9 aspect ratio). Do a bridge search for images where width and/or height is greater than 2667 and you should [strange crops aside] get all of your images that are 4MP and above.

You can also filter for file types to cut out any PDFs or other strays.

Agreed, this is what I mentioned in my reply #5. The MP inspector panel is also helpful too.

Unfortunately, that is file size, NOT image size. I need image size. File size (measured in MB) is the number of bytes the file uses on your hard drive. The image size (measured in megapixels) is the number of pixels in the image. You have this info in the image size dialog box in Photoshop but I find it nowhere in Bridge.

Ah, yes, I misunderstood… however I am still not sure what you want as you mentioned both of the following:

MP Size = pixel width x pixel height / 1,000,000 (3168 x 4752px = 15,054,336 / 1,000,000 = 15.1MP rounded up)

Or are you after the opened/uncompressed Image Size, such as 43.1MB (3168 x 4752px x3 8-bpc channels)

Bridge can only show what has been programmed into it and Bridge is a file browser, not an image editor so the files are not directly opened as in Photoshop. A custom script could be created to calculate either the MP Size or the Image Size. ExifTool can also list the MP Size for a group of images and copy this to say the Keyword metadata field, which could then be used by a Filter in Bridge. There are many possibilities, however they would all take some work.
