Questions

Anyone have this problem?  Bridge won't recognize PSD files on my external drives.  Have had both Adobe and Apple techs try to figure it out and no one can.  Any suggestions? They recommend I ask you all.  

Bridge has fast become my least favorite app!Last week, I would download a folder of timelapse files from a gopro hero5, open them all in camera raw, apply adjustments and save to a new folder. Easy peasy, right?This week, I can't drag and drop a folder onto the bridge icon.I can't double click to open the jpg in CR.command R gives me the following error message: "The Camera Raw settings could not be applied because there were no Camera Raw files selected or the selected files were read-only."I can go back to an older download folder and open any of those files (which had been opened before in CR). This is only happening on this latest downloaded batch.It's the same camera shooting with the same settings.The files will open in Photoshop into CR no problem. So, it's not a read only issue.I have reset bridge preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled bridge twice.If I had only one or two jpgs, I would just use that workaround and do it in photoshop. But, I have a couple of thousand to edit

es anyone know how to get this back?

Hope you can help. I keep my Adobe Bridge Cache and image files on an external drive.I've just had a new computer and can't search for images on the external drive.. How do I point to the cache on the external drive please?

I'm using the latest version of Adobe Bridge CC 2018 / Photo Downloader with the Create Subfolders option to download and sort images from an iPhone 6+.  Unfortunately, it appears that Bridge references the image files' modification dates rather than creation dates to determine the "shot date."  No thanks to Apple, image modification dates are unreliable - they change intermittently and without warning - so my downloaded photos are totally disorganized.Is there a fix for this?  Similar issues have been discussed before, but I haven't seen a solution.On a side note, are there any utilities that can undo the damage created by this issue?  I need to re-verify that my images are in proper subfolders, in accordance with the File Created metadata.  I don't know how long this has been going on - maybe years.  I've been using Bridge since CS2 and just noticed the trouble in CS6 recently.  Upgraded to CC - same thing.  What a mess.Any assistance is apprec

Thank you so much in advance for ANY help you can provide me!! I've switched from Lightroom Classic to Bridge for organizing my digital assets, (and certain groups of photos), due to the limited file types that LRC can work with.  I've spent many hours trying to learn, and organize, within Bridge, but my biggest problem has been using keywords.  Over many years, while working in LR Classic, I’ve creating a keyword list, of maybe 1000 words or so, that is broken down into manageable categories and sub-categories. I've imported that keyword list from LRC into Bridge.  How can I search for files by choosing keywords from my categories, and sub-categories?  Using “Find” doesn’t help since I don't necessarily know all the keywords I want to use until I open up select categories and see them.  Instead I have only found the "Filter Panel” which produces one, long, alphabetical list of keywords that are NOT sorted into their categories/sub-categories. Al

I work a lot with keywords in my workflow. I would like to be able to input existing keywords without having to select them with the mouse, but rather move to the keyword panel and select them using the keyboard, then moving on to the next image and doing the same. I wouldn't mind also being able to shift focus to the keyword field in the metadata panel and type in the keywords. Is any of this possible? Is there an add-on script or plug-in for it?

I am using Bridge CC 2019. The filters doen't show up. I saw in another post this same issue from two years ago and no one ever answered.   How can I fix this? Bridge is basically useless to me without filters.    

Is there a way to use Boolean search in Bridge to narrow the search field using multiple keywords? I've searched dozens of forums and it doesn't appear like that feature is avaialble.    

I'm looking at various photo organizing apps, and want to make sure that my large collection of photos, heavily keyworded (in metadata) can be converted to Bridge keywords. Or does it matter? I want to be able to do quick searches based on the keywords, and edit them easily.

I have created an indesign file with images strewn about a server, and without packaging the document, and keeping the files in their original locations, I was hoping to see the files, access them from a single view/place. This is where I thought Bridge could come in handy. Cut to, I have exported a list of the images and their filepaths to a txt/csv file. The question now is, how would I create a Bridge "Collection" from this same list? If such a thing were doable, it would be exactly what I am after. If there's a better way to do what I want. I would take that too. I had previously thought there might be a reverse-link lookup tool in Bridge, where I could specify an indesign file and ID all its links, or ID links that are placed in any indesi

I have iMac whit Catalina and Br 2020, in preview the files are double or triple images.Some times push F5 for up date, and working. But some times no. Help me please.

I am using Windows 10 64 bit on a PC. I pay the monthly subscription to Adobe so I have all of the latest updates.  I have bought a Canon 1DX Mark111 and just received the Promotional SanDisk CFexpress Card Reader.  It comes with a cable, type C to C but I do not have a C port on my PC.  I bought a Hama cable C to USB 3.1 and I used this to connect the Reader to the PC.  I selected 'Download using Bridge CC' and the Adobe Downloader opened.  This showed rectangular thumbnails for each of my photos, together with their respective file names, but you could not see the actual images.  Each rectangle just showed a pattern of a painted flower.  I clicked 'Get Media' and the download was successful, in that the images did reach the PC but Bridge did not open automatically.  I had to go in manually.  In Bridge Preferences, File Type Association, the cr3 files are referred to and Photoshop 21.1 is shown as the associated program.  Does anyone k

I am unable to see the option to make a web gallery in Bridge CC 2020.I see the PDF/Contac sheet option, but not the web gallery function.This went from Photoshop to Bridge some time ago; is it no longer a Bridge feature?Thanks.

there is no such .mp4 file extension in the preferences under file extensions, there is .m4a, but when i select wmplayer, it makes no difference. So does anyone know if i can set file preference for .mp4? (what is the term they have used?)

After the update the mouse pointer is a black fleck on a dark grey background when using default settings. That's not optimal in anything but the brightest theme. Please do not override system defaults for purely stylistic reasons, that's bad UX and as demonstrated won't end well. (Windows 10)

Hi all, I have some pictures where the date of picture is missing in the metadata (EXIF). However, when I look at the file properties in Windows, I see a "Date Acquired" field which is correctly populated with the date the picture was taken.Also Adobe Bridge does see it as when I go into the RawData, I see it :<MicrosoftPhoto:DateAcquired>2013-01-04T13:53:05.857</MicrosoftPhoto:DateAcquired>I would like that date to be added to the EXIF when missing ...can this be done by BRIDGE? I would like to avoid having to do that manually.thanksB

The Photoshop UI palette uses BridgeTalk to allow interaction with the palette buttons. The. idea was to use functions and a switch statement to add functionality to the UI buttons. It turns out, BridgeTalk uses a different type of function and does not work with a switch statement. A workaround was suggested which includes wrapping the functions in the bt.body and copying the bt.body to an external file where they can be treated with regular photoshop functions.  Every time the script runs the by.body is copied to an external file overwriting the previous version.Can somebody check the script and suggest how to proceed. I have been stuck for a few days and unable to find a similar UI pallet script to reference.  #target photoshopvar bt = new BridgeTalk(),ph = BridgeTalk.getSpecifier('photoshop'),buildWindow = function () { var z = Window.find('palette', 'Toggle visiblity');if (z) {z.show();return;}var dialog = new Window("palette");dialog.text = "Toggle visiblity";

         For the life of me,  I remain at a loss for a way I can 'make' Bridge and Camera Raw regain the full Raw image file data that the original image captured. What appears PS 2020, Camera Raw12 and Bridge 2020 Apps are a flattened (absent lens distortion) and cropped file (as if it were a jpg image).         I know that the full range of 'uncropped' image data has been retained in the original file, because; image viewers such as Windows Photo (OS10) presents the image in full. By Full I mean, with the the lens distortion, and vignetting of the 24mm lens. I want this distrortion, I want the full image, yet PS Bridge and Camera Raw 'corrects it for me' which is something - I do not want.        Very Furstrating: I compose in viewfinder, do not crop post procuction, and trust that want I saw when I clicked the shutter will be what I'll see, and have to work with when I use A

My creative cloud App shows "Custom metadata Panel for Adobe Bridge" Extension as acquired but from Adobe bridge, i can't see or add it to my Adobe Bridge.

Hello, I just wanted to point out that there is a free custom metadata panel for Bridge: https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.103752.custom-metadata-panel-for-bridge.html

I was working on Bridge and everything was the same as it had been for years (I never update my OS or software unless necessary to make sure my workflow stays consistant with vendor requirements. Usually I do this about every two years and make all updates at one time). I woke up one morning and Adobe Bridge would read the jpegs as flat and washed out, and it was reading RAW files as dark and oversaturated with color. The RAW files are maked untagged as well, which is odd There were no updates on my computer overnight. Adobe support looked at it and they agreed it was strange. They spentd two hours looking at it, and said they would get back to me. Later they sent an email saying that it was supposed to work this way, but I don't know any phoitogorahers that agree, and Sony reps said it was not normal. Maybe it is an issue with my OS or monitor?  Another indicator is that my computer looks at all the older pictures from shoots the same way. It is as if something cha

Hi,I've acknowledged, that there is no way to extend selectively metadata showed in detail-view besides few available informations. What about limiting few that are showed in default. My problem is that informations like date of creation and modification of file are pretty useless to me, but take some space in Content Panel forcing me to stretch it and to minimize panel with the image view. I'd like to see keywords under rating for example. I'm managing large number of science related photos. To describe it using keywords i got to see image as large as possible in horizontal position. Minimizing other columns would save a lot of time. Opening metadata panel takes some space either (and also - info refer only to one img at the time) so it's a missed sulotion, and i'm still not so good at script writing so it's not possible for me to solve the problem this way (yet!). Is there any other way?  Thank you for help! 🙂

Hello, I use Bridge 9.1.0.338 and use the Favorite function. Some of my favorite folders are located on a external drive.
