Since downloading Bridge 2023 update the automatic Photo Downloader has an error message of F:/Application not found.  I have a feeling I did the wrong thing and deleted the previous versions of Bridge before downloading the current version.  I think that Bridge is trying to search for the downloader application from the F: (card reader) drive rather than where Bridge itself is stored i.e. the C: drive.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry = photography is my thing and not computers yikes.

Hello Adobe, the year is 2024 and the import of image files in Bridge still does not work via a CF Express card.Why is that? Please be so kind and inform.Thanks an best regardsMartin

Photodownloader (PD) is acting weird with CFExpress & SD/UHS memory cards from a Prograde PG 5.5 card reader (while other memory cards are working normally).PD is recognizing memory card in reader, opening with previous settings of a download, however you cannot select another location folder to download to ((sub))folders are not shown), nor you can select other options like avanced renaming etc.   If you hit download it does nothing (no download) or it shows error 0x0000005. Very occasionally it does work, but then next reboot it is not anymore. This is not specific to latest version of Bridge; happen with previous (sub) versions as well. Download of mediafiles using Windows 10 explorer instead works fine without any issue. Again, using other hispeed usb memory card readers, also on same USB connection, works fine.  Any help, support or suggestions appreciated.Computer is Windows 10 Pro ASUS Zenith II Extreme Alpha, Prograde connected via USB 3.2 (Gen

Cannot get Photo Downloader to see me CFExpress Card with Bridge 2020, 2021, and 2022.  Adobe has not resolved.  Works fine if loaded through LR.

Just started using camera with CFexpress card, and found I can not download Cfxepress card via Bridge (unlike SD or CF cards). It apears that Adobe bridge does not recognice CFExpress card as a removable card.And aprrently, it is not an unknown issue! Whan is Abobe Bridge planing to resolve this prtoblem? 

I installed Bridge 13 today and now Bridge will not recognize my CF card with Z9 files..  Unistalled 13 and reinstalled 12 and works again.  Anyone else have the same problem?

Does this latest version resolve the Sandisk CFexpress reader problem. I am reluctant to upgrade just in case there is still a problem.  I am currently using 14.0.2.191.

Since April 2021, have not been able to use Photodownloader in Bridge with my new CFExpress card.  It does not detect it.  It does detect and function with SD card from same camera and card reader.  The CFExpress card is on the desk top.  Adobe has not been able to resolve despite numerous calls and attempts.  Anyone else having this isssue.  Using a work around by directly copying from card to file but it does not convert to DNG as I prefer.   

What is preventing Adobe from creating an App that is pretty much exactly Bridge, EXCEPT that it will work with the kind of SMB/Network storage that they must know most professionals use?For YEARS users have leaned on Bridge to browse and manage files that are stored on network shares. A lot of the time it just works. Until it doesn’t. When people look for support, the answer is always the same: “Bridge was never designed for use with network shares.”There are HUNDREDS of questions about network shares on this forum alone, going back at least 15 years. Of course people end up here, because nowhere in Adobe’s documentation for Bridge is this confounding limitation mentioned. In the year 2026, why wouldn’t users assume that Bridge simply works like modern software should.Bridge was “designed” 21 years ago. We’re on version 16. It went through some huge growing pains when it transitioned to Apple Silicon native. Crazy, because in 2005 Bridge was not designed to work on ARM processors.If B

When ever I open Bridge on my Mac a system pop up is shown with;“Adobe Bridge 2026.app” would like to access data from other apps. ( see screenshot )I can’t find out what data or other apps data it want to access and how to turn it off so I don’t have to see it on every start up.Any suggestion or info appreciated. 

since the update to v13 (today) i cannot open files to Photoshop (v24) when i use CameraRaw through bridge. Not by 'OPEN' 'OPEN AS OBJECT'' or 'OPEN AS COPY' clicking on eiter of these nothing happens. The only way to open a image in Photoshop through bridge is FILE->OPEN WITH->ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 2023 (DEFAULT)  So not by dubbel clicking on a file or throught the 'OPEN IN CAMERARAW" icon. It wil open in CRaw but i cannot continue to Photoshop Apple M1 Montery v12.6

ZeroThe new version only works with windows 11 but my computer cannot do that.I am looking for a download  to continue with the older version but its nowhere to be found.Can anybody  tell me where or how to find the Bridge version that works with windows 10??Thanks!

When I try to download Bridge program. I am told it doesnt recognize the address

The Custom Metadata extension has been installed in Bridge.A photograph has been selected.It is possible to enter metadata in the standard Bridge metadata fields.However, none of the Custom Metadata fields will accept input.Nothing happens when typing into a Text field. The calendar appears when selecting a Date field, but picking a date has no effect. Drop down lists appear and are fully populated with their selections, but picking on an item in the drop down list has no effect. This occurs in both the “Pet Shop Example” and the “Out-Of-The-Box Example.”Bridge is Version 16.0.7.36It is running on a Windows 11 machine.  

In grid and thumbnail view it will only ever have photos in the top row and I have to scroll right and left to view them, this has only been happening recently and not sure what's happened. I've re-installed Bridge and this is still happening, please let me know if someone has resolved this!

It would be very helpful if the ability to select image “Orientation” within Bridge’s Smart Collection filter existed.  The default Bridge file filter has the ability to select Orientation, but not Smart Collection filters.  This would help automate selection activities by accurately sorting files into Landscape or Portrait orientation. The use of Width and Height within Smart Filter Collections is not efficient and error prone when filtering cropped images.

Hello!Why Bridge always shows document creation time different - one day later than Windows Explorer and OneDrive web app (website)?Thanks!

In Bridge opening images into CR, finished my edits in Photoshop and then saving into a jpg in the same file. In the middle of my session, the saved jpg are not longer showing Bridge. I did F5 to refresh but it did not change anything. 

When I drag and drop files into a collection in Adobe Bridge, Bridge automatically switches to the collection view.For image selection and curation workflows, this interrupts the process because I have to manually navigate back to my original folder after each action.I would like an option to add files to a collection while remaining in the current folder view, for example:A preference setting: "Stay in current folder after adding to a collection" Or drag & drop behavior that does not automatically open the collectionThis would significantly improve efficiency when working with large image libraries and collections.Thank you for considering this enhancement.

When I right-click a .jpg file in Bridge there is no usable option provided by “open with”.  I have tried browsing to Windows Photos app, but it is hidden.  I have also tried changing the Preferences via Edit/Preferences but again Photos is not an option. The only way I can get what I want is by right-clicking the image in Bridge, selecting “Reveal in Explorer”, and selecting “Photos” from the menu provided.Can I not open the image in Photos directly from Bridge?

Bridge ignores the new Light adjustment layer in PSD filesI have found what appears to be a compatibility issue between Photoshop's new Light adjustment layer and Adobe Bridge.Bridge version: 16.0.7.36Photoshop: Current version with the new Light adjustment layerWindows 11 Pro 25H2I edited a PSD in Photoshop and added a Light adjustment layer as the final tonal adjustment. In my case, the settings included approximately Exposure +0.39, Shadows +55, Highlights -13 and Whites +24.The image looks correct in Photoshop, but Bridge displays the PSD as if the Light adjustment layer does not exist. The difference is substantial, not just a small color-management difference.I was able to reproduce and isolate the problem:Open the layered PSD in Photoshop with the Light adjustment layer enabled. Save the PSD. View the PSD in Bridge. The effect of the Light adjustment layer is missing. Export the PSD to JPEG from Bridge. The exported JPEG also lacks the Light adjustment, so this is not only a Bri

Why can’t I update to Bridge 16.0.6 if my computer works perfectly well, simply because I don’t have Windows 11?Adobe is dropping support for Windows 10. I know it is an old operating system and that it now receives very few updates, but is it really necessary to exclude all the users who are still using it?Bridge is only the beginning. Next November, when the 2027 versions are released, what will happen if you don’t have Windows 11? Will we have to forget about continuing to use Bridge?The easy answer would be to buy a new computer, but is that really an option for everyone? The current prices of RAM, storage, and graphics cards are absolutely crazy, and sadly, they seem likely to keep going up.Wouldn’t it be possible for Adobe to continue supporting Windows 10 for a little longer, especially for applications like Bridge, which shouldn’t necessarily require the latest operating system technologies?
