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. When I forget to connect the drive before clicking a favorite, it will be deleted without any chance to cancel nor to see where the favorite folder was located.Is there any possiblity to protect the favorites? Thanks for your support!

Since updating to Bridge 2020 I find that the slider will not resize images selceted to preview.  Moving the slider changes the size of the thumbnails in the filmstrip but not the selected image.  Can anyone suggest what I may have set wrongly? 

I’m cleaning up a lot of photos and I want to rename them all using a file naming convention. I want to store the original filename in the metadata so we will be able to find the correct file in case an old filename is referenced. Bridge has the a checkbox ‘Preserve current filename in XMP Metadata’ for that. Problem is, when this is ticked, Bridge also changes the ‘Modifed date’ of the files. This date is very important in our workflow and should not change. Any ideas how to store the original filename in metadata AND preserve the modified date of files? Using Bridge or other software (on mac).

 I downloaded Adobe bridge yesterday but when I right click an image in the main window of Adobe Bridge, the windows pop up menu appears. The only options that I’m offered when I Click ‘Open with’ are Adobe PS CS6 and Elements but no more. I want to access additional photo editors such as Affinity Photo and Qimage Ultimate. Can anybody tell me how to do this?All contributions welcome.CheersWilliam

After saving a JPEG from photoshop into a folder in Finder that image doesn't appear in Bridge's thumbnail view. Images I delete will not disappear from the thumbnail view as well. I have tried restarting Bridge and still no luck. I've also tried leaving the folder and then entering back into with no luck.  I apologize if this is not clear. Let me know and I can try and explain more! I use Bridge to view storyboard files. It's much better than hitting the spacebar in Finder and clicking through. Definitely smoother in Bridge.

Hi, i am a new Bridge user.usage for organising my source files, search tool and updating or creating XMP-sidecars. (first look is promising.)Lot of things to read to understand the posibilities but as start up i am interested in some differences.1) i understand i can make a "sjabloon" a auto fillin template.how can i make it a automated writing and can i make it work for all images i did createalready a xmp for? (Do i need to selected and write all images by hand piece for piece for folder by folder?)I made a sjabloon and  did a multi select images applied the sjabloon.That worked and folder not so much.brings up a other thing: i see sidecars like "dop files" in the folder thumbnails.- can i create "asociated file links" so when i replace a rawfile the dopfile and the XMP-file go with the rawfile?- can i hide the dop files?2) keywords, an other main thing i choose Bridge for.i have hieracical keywords like:"Family" then "my family" (in dutch "Gezin" as in the household) and then

I'm trying to install Adobe Bridge CC since a couple of Days now. Every time I click install in the CC App, it shows "installation failed" after a couple minutes. I tried the solving steps for Error 160 from the Adobe forum, removed the whole Creative Cloud Suite and all its files from my computer and reinstalled everything. All Programs got successfully installed again, but Bridge gives me the same error message again. That is the error message I get:Exit Code: 160-------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 2 fatal error(s), 0 error(s), 1 warnings(s) FATAL: Error (Code = 160) executing in command 'CreateRegistryKeyCommand' for package: 'AdobeBridge9.0-mul-x64', version:9.0.2.219FATAL: Error occurred in install of package (Name: AdobeBridge9.0-mul-x64 Version: 9.0.2.219).

I have got a problem. My files appears twice with a usual name as " dsc_0808.jpeg" and another file which is locked and named "dsc_0808 (2019_09_04 1.......UTC).jpeg. I don´t know how the files have been two and how to deal with them. Who is the main file and what happens if I delete the UTC-file or the other file? What I understand is that this thing appears when choosing "Bildband" in the mainmenu. Can someone please explain this to me? Tommy   [email removed by moderator]    

In Bridge, I can't see my CC Libraries. I've signed in to my Creative Cloud Account but Bridge doesn't show my CC Libraries. It says sign in but when I go to the Help menu I'm logged in. I've tried reboot computer and sign out of CC and sign back on. What takes? Thanks!

Once upon a time in April 2005 Adobe launched a worderful program called Bridge, one of the best features was that it allowed you to label files- my favourite color was red..... It really was the best and fastest wat to edit files (back then "edit" meant choosing the good ones and post production was the other stuff you did to a file) You could plug in an external hard drive, work from the desktop and it all worked the same..Fast forward to 2020 and Adobe have decided that we no longer want to use that wonderful feature for labelling files when you are working from an external drive. There are several tutorials that they tell you to do to fix the problem they caused but these work until you try to re set your workspace back to how it used to be (ie having files open in Camera RAW from Bridge (instead of Photoshop)Initially I thought (naturally) that it was me or my computer that was at faultI know there are thousands of people that use Bridge for the same porpose as I and would really

Trial period expired after a few hours, what is going onwhat a waste of time that was, what can I doBrian

When I add files to the layout in the Output module the preview of vertical images is stretched horizontally, although the images are saved in the pdf with the correct proportions. Beyond that, all the Output previews in Bridge 2020 look pixelated.Does anyone else have the same problems?

Hello all,(using Bridge 10.0.4 on macbookpro with Mojave)When HW acceleration is enabled in Preference the anti aliasing filter is not applied when pictures are displayed, while the zoom is smooth. When HW acceleration is disabled in Preference (software rendering) the anti aliasing filter is working but the zoom is very very slow. It is working however properly with Bridge CS 5.1 in the same conditions on the same HWMany thanks for any advice(or bug fixing 🙂 )

Hi,uses Bridge to change name on a serie of files that are going to be exported into a database. When I change the file I get a space before the name starts and I can't get rid of it. It looks allright but when I do import the files into the database it doesn't accept the files as there is a space before the name starts. If I try to rename manualy (not possible in the longrun as I have thousands of files to do it on) it doesn't accept it as the name is the same. But it is not! It is a name with and without an extra space.  

Gosh, it's been over a year of struggling and hoping that this bug would be fixed... :  When getting to the Photo Downloader window and Advanced features to download and rename only photos desired, it often comes up with "No Device Detected." I retry, and often retry numerous times. And I make sure to quit and restart both the Downloader and Bridge, reconnect my phone making sure it is "trusted" by my computer... Yet still I end up clicking. and clicking, like a rat trained in some lab experiment to get the reward or prize.   Note: My Adobe apps are kept up to date. My computer runs MacOS MOjave 10.14.6   What is wrong? Is this a problem that Adobe is aware of with a solution one of you can give? If not, can this be prioritized to be solved (I've wasted so much time and the simple "Import from Device" is too primitive and it takes way too much time organizing and renaming files for my photo archive kept from 2007 on...)   {Thread renamed by moderator}  

Hi, I am not sure what I am doing wrong...I am on a Windows 10 PC, using Adobe Bridge 2020. I selected my color settings there (North America Genera; Purpose 2), but it doesn't synchronize with Illustrator. In fact, within the color settings of a document I get the message that my color settings are not synchonized across the cloud and that I need on set it in Bridge. But that's what I thought I did...How can I prompt Bride to synchronize? Thanks so much for any tips you may have.
