Questions

I have avoided any updates for as long as possible because every time Adobe forces updates they only wreak havoc and create problems that hinder workflow and efficiencies. For as much as I pay for Adobe's monthly services you'd think they'd be able to function properly, but alas, here we are. Prior to updating I could simply open Bridge to select my raw images to batch then I could chose to open them into photoshop or save them, but if I simply closed it out any adjustments I had made when would be saved on the raw image. Now, after selecting numerous images, taking the time to make tedious adjustments to each file and then click on the down arrow next to open to see what my options were (in the latest update as this was the first time using it) the screen just blinks and all images do NOT open into Photoshop and also did not save ANY of the adjustments I had just made. So, I again select images make the changes and this time click the down arrow to save, as a jpg. Then go back and sel

I'm not sure if I posted this question in the correct forum last time, so I'm trying again. I make videos on my pixel 6a. Those that i edit and later download have an LS inserted between the filename, which is a bunch of letters, date and time info and mp4. These files preview in Bridge. The ones that I haven't endited do not have the LS inserted and they also don't preview in bridge. I used VLC media player as my default player and I looked at what the codecs are for the different files and they are different. The native mp4 which doesn't preview is this: Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)The edited mp4 has a different codec: Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1) What I don't know about codecs could sink a ship, but I can see they are different and as it's the only thing apart from editing that I can find, I'd like to know if there is something I can add to bridge to enable me to preview the videos in bridge, at least a thumbnail as at the moment I hav

I am trying to access Bridge but I am continually presented with an error message on one screen with a seperate blank screen with the Bridge header line shown.  The header line is inactive and does not allow Bridge to be used and is more like frozen. Any ideas on what this issue might be and how to clear it would be most appreciated.

Hallo,wollte heute die neue Bridge-Version öffnen: AbsturzSeit einem erneuten Öffnen habe ich nur noch alles in Englisch und kann die Einstellung auch nicht ändern, weil angeblich keine alternative Sprache existiert.Selbst nach Deinstallation und erneutem Upload (zur Version ist angegeben, dass sie auch in Deutsch ist!) bleibt einzig eine englische App.Was kann ich tun? Über die Systemeinstellungen geht es jedenfalls nicht.Danke im voraius

It keep's flashing and I have to force quit the application. I have tried updating my Mac (Ventura 13.1) as well as downloading the latest version of Bridge (Version 13.0.2). The problem still persisits. I have also tried downloading older versions of bridge. Nothing works.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought the last update had fixed memory leaks in Bridge so I started using it during the last few weeks - but it seems like it's still an issue.I recently upgraded to macOS 13.2.1 - I don't know whether that caused the memory leak to re-appear or what else could have caused it, but the problem persists and today I got a popup warning me that Bridge consumsed more than 200 GB of memory.  For now I'm back to Bridge 22 (again) with the only drawback being that image processor, stacking and other tools aren't working because Bridge 22 does not recognise Photoshop 24 - and it's not a native Apple Silicon application.Has anyone else encountered the memory leak issue in macOS Ventura?

I have updated my 2023 copyright info in all of my cameras. I also updated my Metadat presets to use the 2023 copyright year. However, all of the photos I download atill have the 2022 copyright year, and I have to manually change every single photo to 2023. Yes, I can select all the downloaded images I am working on and go to Tools and select Metadata preset, and it will change them to 2023, but I should not have to do that. They should download with the 2023 copyright, which is in all my cameras and in the Metadata preset. This did not happen when 2021 changed to 2022. What do I do to make all of my downloads use my 2023 copyright year?

how can i solve this . Only 1 tab open, the second tab does not open.Bridge 2023

Hi guys!I use a Windows 10 laptop and today received this error message (screenshot enclosed) when I opened Adobe Bridge. I updated the display driver, but got the message again. Can you advise please? Regards, Fergal.

 I make a lot of small videos on my pixel 6a. I edit them using either the native app, Rush or the native tiktok and inista apps. for some reason when they've been edited the file name gets LS. inserted before the .mp4 name, so it will go from PXL_00000000_0000000000.mp4 to PXL_00000000_0000000000.LS.mp4. When the LS has been inserted, then it previews in bridge, if it isn't then the default video player VLC icon shows. I really don't understand why this is happening and it's really annoying. So if anybody can explain this I would be really appreciative.  Thanks  

I am having trouble with batch renaming. No matter the amount or size of files when I try to batch rename a selection of files Adobe Bridge freezes up and I have to force quit the application. I have already taken the necessary troubleshooting steps provided by Adobe with no resolution. 

My workflow consists of browsing in Bridge then clicking to open in Photoshop. Recently it takes almost 5 seconds for the image to open when it used to happen very quickly. Also a small window will open for a split second that says some AI masks need updating. It has an update all button but it doesn't stay around long enough to see if it works. I am running the latest versions on Windows with a AMD Ryzen9 6900, 32gb of ram, and Nvidia RTX 3050ti graphics card. This issue has made it unusable because of the wait to open the files. 

See screen shots below.  According to Windows, there are 3657 files in the folder.  According to Bridge, there are 5859 files in the folder plus 104 hidden.  According to Bridge, the sum of all of the ratings is 3553.  Add the 104 hidden files and voila, 3657 files - same as Windows. Ordinarily, I wouldn't even notice this.  But when I'm waiting over 30 seconds for Bridge to simply show a PSD that I've just saved so I can rate it, I have plenty of time on my hands to look around.  Of course, Bridge is consuming over 99% of the CPU for hours on end, so I have an hour+ PER DAY to sit and wait for Bridge.  NOTHING else is running.  Just Bridge and PS. Meanwhile, editing in PS is painful.  Move a slider, wait a few seconds for PS to get some CPU cycles from Bridge, display the change.  Too much, move the slider back a bit, wait a few seconds for PS to get some CPU cycles from Bridge to display the change... I have a reasonabl

Hi all 1st post !As soon as I start Bridge I get the below 😞Have tried a complete removal using Revo and a fresh install - have tried the beta version and get the same !Using Win10Any ideas  ?Paul  

Durch Doppelklick war es mir bisher möglich eine Bilddatei in Photoshop zu öffnen. Das ist jetzt nicht mehr möglich. Wie kann ich diesen Fehler beheben?Danke 

When I'm trying to move an image in the "content" tab into a subfolder with a special character in the name ("subfolder?"), I get an errormessage telling me that the "item already exists". When I click on Auto-Resolve it simply changes the name of the image by adding a " (1)" without moving the file - even though there's no other image with the same file name. What I've already tested:Moving it in the finder in macOS works.Moving it in other applications works. Opening the file, editing the file and saving the file works. So the file is not corrupt.This happens with all files. When I remove the question mark from the folder name ("subfolder") it works.  Looks like Brige is puzzled by a folder name with special characters - certainly a bug and not a feature.  

I have just updated my Bridge and Photoshop to their latest versions (November 2019, see detailed version info below). **** See also UPDATE below (Bridge may now use PNGs for thumbnail/preview files in the cache for certain layered PSD files!). It seems that there are some problems with color management in the new Bridge. The previous version which I have used until yesterday worked OK. Nothing changed in system except new Adobe apps today. Updated my graphics driver just before Adobe apps (see version info below). I use Bridge/Photoshop for photography. In Bridge the previews and thumbnails Bridge looks OK for old photos (JPEG, PSD, Raw). However, when editing old PSD files or when creating new PSD documents, the preview for the new files will (often) be wrong. What I observe is about the same effect as I get when I view photos with an application that does not support color management. Since my monitor has a wide gamut LCD panel, the difference is quite prono

Hi,I have a 2021 M1 Macbook pro with 64 gb of RAM.  I am using Bridge and Camera Raw and noticing that every 5-10 minutes it is freezing and I get the pinwheel of death.  It last anywhere between a 10 seconds to almost a minute.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there any options I can change to prevent this as its getting very annoying. Thanks

I have updated to bridge 13.0.2  and it is sooo slow, i cant have photoshop open at the same time. Is anyone else have the same problem. 

I recently switched to a new Dropbox account and while all of my other apps (including Photoshop) see and access the folder/files in this new Dropbox, Bridge does not and actually accesses and shows the files/folders of my previous Dropbox. I can't figure out why this is. I removed my Bridge install and reinstalled it hoping this would correct the issue, but it has not. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to correct this? I'm running on macOS Ventura 13.2.

When converting photos from RAW to TIFF then Adobe Bridge is putting extra thumbnail to image files called "Photoshop Thumbnail". The problem is that some other photo editors (like GIMP) can't handle correctly that thumbnail.Currenlty I must every time remove the Photoshop Thumbnail with Exiftool (-photoshopthumbnail=) but sometimes I forget to do so...

Don't know if this is a bug or a non-feature.... I needed to adjust the top folder name where all other picture folders are nested under.I right-clicked and made a minor adjustment. Everything seemed to work fine.....that is until I clicked on one of my Collections by accident. I got an error message that the location didn't exist anymore. When I clicked this away, it automatically removed the item and jumped straight to next one, which also didn't exist anymore and so it went. I stopped, force closed, renamed folder back in File Explorer and restarted Bridge. Everything worked fine again. - First, if you change a folder name withing Bridge, this should have the necessary repercussions on items within Bridge.- If a Collections destination can't be found, you should be able to re-locate it then and there.- Collection should not automatically dissapear.- It definitely should not automatically jump to next one, which then also dissapears. The only reason
