Hi there, Bridge (Mac version) which I normally use, suddelly stuck on a folder and its subfolders. Whenever you launch it, it returns on the same set of pictures. You can work on Settings but when you want to do anything else it gets stuck. I tried several times to delete the App and reinstall but it remains all the same. I cleared all caches and I'm really lost.The MAc is a mini M2 8Mb Ram. The folders extracted count some 1000+ elements. I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Bridge sometimes immediately goes to bottom of keyword panel after I click on a keyword in my list in that panel to add it to meta. It's a pain to have to keep scrolling up to find where i left off in my list.  Is there a fix?

So, I've recently switched cameras, I've changed from Nikon D800 to Canon EOS R and now when I am about to transfer pictures from my card to my PC via Bridge, when I click ''Get photos from camera'' standard Photo Downloader window apeears, and then when I click Advanced Dialog to see whitch photo I want to download I dont see my pictures as you can see in the attachment. But when I open the same photos from Bridge directly on my SD card, all photos are fine, I see them perfectly. Does anyone knows what is the problem and how to fix it, because I ofter you this metod to transfer my photos. Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hi all,When I'm whittling images, Bridge has started doing this annoying thing of when I delete an image and then press the forward arrow to look at the next image it then jumps forward two images instead of just going to the next image. I have restarted the programme and the mac too and this has not solved it. I've reset bridge as well. Is this a bug since the last update?Using a 2020 iMac running Ventura 13.4.1I have added a video to show what I am referring too

Bridge und Bridge Beta sind installiert auf jeweils 2 Rechnern. Es lassen sich nicht mehr die"Werkzeuge" - "Bildprozessor" aufrufen weil angeblich Startskripte nicht aktiviert sind. Sie sind aber alle aktiviert und der Fehler passiert auf beiden Rechnern. Was ist zu tun?

As a professional photographer and long-time Adobe Bridge / Lightroom / Photoshop user, I have ALWAYS been confused by why there is frequently a one+ second difference between the same image file's "Date Created" and "Date File Created."-- I am *NOT* talking about "Date File Modified" --I have searched for the answer to my question online and have not found a satisfactory explanation.I want to Batch Rename my image files according to the exact HHMMSS I pressed the shutter button and thus the file was created, which should take care of the dreaded _ (1), _ (2), _ (3), etc file extensions 95% of the time.Is there an option to Batch Rename according to the mysteriously more accurate "Date FILE Created" instead of the mysteriously inaccurate "Date Created?"Thanks,Scott

Today I updated to MacOS Monterey knowing there would be problems, and here is the first problem: Bridge crashes instead of opening. I looked at some of the previous posts and gave Bridge permission in the System Preferences, but it still crashes when opening. Photoshop 2022 opens normally, however.What to do?   

This is the message I get from the Output Workspace. Sequoia 15.4.1. Bridge 2025, up-to-date. My Home folder is on an external drive, I hope this is not the issue.  

Since the recent updates I haven't been able to run any batch actions on files from Bridge into Photoshop. Initially it ran the action but didn't open the files so I got errors that the steps couldn't be run because there was no files open. I uninstalled both and reinstalled, Bridge being first then Photoshop after, and now the action dialogue doesn't even open. After un and reinstalling I don't know what else I can really do. thanks in advance.

I use ACR w/ Photoshop 2026. My workflow is to open RAW files from bridge into ACR. Its hard to get a general feel for some images without opening them in ACR and making a few edits. But for images that are open in ACR, is there any way I can save the rating, even if I don't open the image in Photoshop? I may want to come back to the pics later based on rating without opening them in Photoshop.

Hi everyone,I am tearing my hair out because I can't seem to overwrite a metadata file.  I have created a new one and then try to replace and overwrite the previous details, but it still keeps the old camera EXIF data and not the new one which I require.Does this have anything to do with Document Ancestors? Do I have to run some kind of script to get rid of old data? I have been on this for days now and it is getting me frustrated. Hope someone can help. Thank you.Best regards Paul

Each time I open Photoshop the color sync setting I have chosen in Bridge turns off, and all apps revert to emulating an older version of the respective app with CMS deactivated. I have tried to restart Bridge and reset preferences, settings, cache etc. to no avail. Is there a fix for this?

Adobe Bridge can't see or download iCloud Drive files that have not been downloaded to the local drive.I locate the iCloud Drive files in the folder ~/library/mobile documents.Not enough room on my hard drive to store the contents of iCloud Drive. So, iCloud Drive has the files stored in the cloud. Adobe Bridge can't see the thumbnails of the files stored in the cloud (it can see previously downloaded files. If you go to view menu and click show hidden files, files appear and are named as follows: .P1020665.RW2.icloud. The actual name of the file is P1020665.RW2. If you click on the file, it will not download or open.This appears to be a problem with Adobe Bridge. If you try opening a file directly with photoshop, it will download it and open it in Adobe Camera Raw.Has anyone found a way to fix this?

adobe bridge renames files with "AdobeBridgeBatchRename" which I don't want how do I stop it?

This comes up from time to time due to the shortcoming of Bridge Batch Renaming having only UPPERCASE or lowercase options. It is possible to create a Regular Expression based Batch Rename to create Title Case , however, it isn't very flexible and can be complex to setup.   The following script simplifies the process of renaming selected files to use a simple Title Case naming convention.   For example, the following original filenames:   the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.psd THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG.psd   Would be transformed to:   The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog.psd   /* Rename to Title Case.jsx v1.0 - 26th December 2023, Stephen Marsh https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/script-to-batch-rename-as-title-case/td-p/14319096 */ #target bridge if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge") { var titleCase = new MenuElement("command", "Rename to Title Case v1.0", "at the end of Tools"); } titleCase.onSelec

When I let a photo be processed in Adobe Bridge by a created workflow, the creation date is deleted if I use the JPG file format. If I use the same workflow with the PNG file format, the creation date remains. How is this possible, I prefer to use JPG because of the file size? JPG file Same, but PNG 

Windows 10 on a very souped up custom built for photoshop computer. I use a Canon R5.I used to be able to open Bridge, choose my card reader's DCIM folder and Bridge would begin rendering all the files immediately. It was wonderful because after a few seconds I could start looking through the images and rating them quickly.  Now it only renders each file as I click on it and I have to wait for each one. I have selected:Preview size: embedded (fastest)preview quality: standardpreview generation: always generateI have not selected: always generate 100% preview Is there a setting somewhere I need to change? 

The Trash in Bridge in infuriatingly broken. I had never understood the reject files option. What is the keystroke to do that, and where to the reject files go????Can I make a folder myself and control that. Thanks.

Hello everyone!There has been a very useful modular export tool in Bridge for some time now.However, I noticed that it is still missing several file formats that would be really useful to add, like PSD and WebP for example. The last one by the way is only usable in Photoshop from the standard save menu, which is a bit inconvenient.Another thing that is missing in my opinion is the ability to keep as the export color profile the same profile already present in the source file.Would anyone else find these updates useful?I am curious about your opinion as well. Thank you!Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

In Windows 11, Bridge 2023 shows as installed and gobbling up 1.65 GB. When I try to uninstall it, the uninstaller says it's not installed...the Adobe desktop app also doesn't "see" the program as installed, yet there it is under the installed apps banner for Windows. How can I get rid of it? I thought to maybe re-install it and then uninstall it, yet Bridge 2023 isn't even available as a "previous version". The particular version I'm showing is 13.0.1. Any ideas?

After the latest update (14.1.1.274) Bridge states that it is 'Initializing video library' in the lower left hand corner, after which a circle start spinning. Nothing else happens after that. The app has been working great for many years. Help?  

I've recently had a problem where filenames in Bridge get changed and differ from filenames in Windows Explorer. I used Bridge to do a batch rename which worked successfully. But when I leave the folder and return to it in Bridge, all filenames have been changed to a few seemingly random letters and numbers. The correct filenames still appear in Windows Explorer. This doesn't seem to happen on ALL folders, only on some folders. This causes a huge problem for my workflow because I obviously need accurately named images. I viewed the metadata to see if the correct name appears there (as suggested in a related post) but filenmae in metadata is the same random letters and numbers as the filename. I've tried the following fixes: purged the cache from Bridge. Uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge. Currently using Bridge 15.0.3 and Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2

How can I print a picture from Bridge without having to create a PDF?I just want something quick and dirty. I have been creating screen captures but then have to round up the files and delete.

HelloI have "kewords" in the metadata of my pjeg files coming from the days of using Picasa!  When I moved to PSE, I did not select them at import time, and therefore they do appear in my keywords structure I manage under PSE... So far so good.Recently I decided to copy the metadata (PSE ctrl W) to my files and to install Bridge.Bad news, all the keywords (old and new) sit together and make a mess . PSE "crtl W" do not erase existing keywords but just add the new ones.The simplest thing would be to remove all the tags and do the "crtl W" again...  But in Bridge I did not find a way to do that in batch mode but only file by file ... with 50000 photos a batch solution would be welcome (even working at folder level woul be acceptable).Does this function exist ? I could not find it in the user guide. Thanks for your help Alain
