Questions

I have found that siometimes Bridge does not update the file associations page after updating Photoshop.  You click on an image and it will spawn an older version of Photoshop than what you have installed. My question is other then going in and reassociating each file type to the proper application one by one is there some other way to get Bridge to point to the latest version of PS automatically for those file types that it should open?  Manually having to repoint the file types one by one is a lengthy task to do and I have to beleive there is a more elegant solution. Thanks for any solutions - I get this question a lot recently. Mike LeonardFriday Night Photoshop

Yesterday I was trying to use batch rename in Bridge 2020 with Mac OS 10.13.6. Batch rename has always worked previously. Under new filenames, this screen shot shows what I wanted and typed in the first time. Current filename shows what it changed to. Also after I closed batch rename and opened again, the top sequence number opened to 33043 when it should have been 33033. And the lower sequence number opened to 18 instead of 19. I went back to the 2019 version and bridge had changed the file names there to the same ^SEQN^ that looks like HTML rather than the correct numerical. When I tried to rename today I got this in Preview.Then when I rename I get this again.

I have an iMac with 5K screen and I have the Filmstrip layout selected in Bridge. When I click on a thumbnail image, the preview image shows a truncated filename if it's more than 20 characters long. This didn't happen with my old iMac which didn't have the 5K screen. Is this normal or is there a setting that will show the whole filename under the preview image? Thanks

Hallo,ich benutze die Adobe CC, alle Apps sind am aktuellsten Stand unter Windows 10Ich möchte HEIC Dateien in der Bridge 10 bzw. in Photoshop öffnen. In Bridge wird keine Voransicht gezeigt. Wenn ich sie in PS öffnen möchte, bekomme ich folgende Fehlermeldung "Camera Raw unterstützt keine HEIC Dateien und Windows" siehe angehängte Screenshots. (Ich habe Camera RAW Version 12.2.0.386) Ist mir unerklärbar. In Lightroom Classic kann ich besagte Bilder problemlos importieren und anzeigen.Hat vielleicht jemand einen Tipp für mich?Liegrü Gerhard

Is there a way to create a contact sheet showing ratings, without installing scripts/extra software in either Bridge or Photoshop?

why adobe bridge creating DAT File (.dat) in Windows 10 / Picture folder, each time a photo is edited ?

When using Bridge 10.0.3.138., avoid to activate the specific folder in Folder menu / in the Folders View Window and mouse click subcommand "remove". Instead of removing a particular folder and its contents, both commands removes/hides somewhere the whole Hard Drive and then You need to reboot the computer to get the HD back in use. Makes definitely no sense at all why this - the commad should be named "Remove the HD" if its meant to work this way. If You choose the icon of a specific folder in the content window and press the trah can, the removal of the specific folder works as should.

I am working through a few older shoots that are on an external hard drive.EVERY TIME Bridge needs to rebuild those previews and I have to wait until it rebuilds the previews.Why does Bridge lose the previews every time? It doesn't to that on a faster SSD drive, only on the older spinning hard drives. 

Bridge often crashes when I change the name for saving. Its not happening every time but often. I have the feeling it hapens mostly when I add a second section in the file naming. 

I spend a great deal of time keywording. I go to the Keywords panel, search for the keyword in my list, press the arrow buttons in the panel until it gets to the correct keyword, then I press Return to apply the keyword. That part works great. But then to apply a keyword to the next image I have to click on the image, then click back to the keywords panel and repeat the process of looking for the corect keyword. Is there any way to switch the focus from one panel to another, just by using keystrokes? I've checked several different versions of Bridge and can't find anything that would allow this. Am I missing something?

I have been editing metadata in Bridge ( I find it the easiest Adobe software to to this in). But I am struggling to see where I can sync the metadata from one file to another? 

My Bridge has a very blurry interface, and I'm on the newest posible versions of all apps.I think I have tried all combinations in Preferences->Interface  

Now, from looking through the community of many other posts I understand that Adobe Bridge is free to download. However, I still have to make sure whether the software is truly available for any environment, considering its use could prevent me from using the software from per say business environment.Can anyone give me a conclusive answer to the use of Adobe Bridge?

At 100% zoom the zoom bubble creates this weird tiling effect. At 200% or more it looks just fine as always. Does anyone have an idea why that ist and/or how to fix it?

The resolution within the magnifier used to be sharper. Previously when clicking it would start blurry like this, then sharpen. Is there a setting for this?See attached screen capture.Thanks. 

How do I make Photoshop a default in bridge "open with"?

Bridge Photo Downloader Will Not OpenI am running Adbobe Bride 2020 on a Windows 10 PC.Everything was working fine until unfortunately I experienced a power outage when I was using Bridge,Now I find everything I use in Bridge appears to work as normal (at least everthing I have tried) except for the Photo Downloader which simply will not open when I click on its camera icon.If I find its executable file in Program Files and run it from there, it opens just fine but it will not open from Bridge itself.  Something clearly got corrupted during the power cut so can anyone suggest what to do to effect a cure short of reinstalling Bridge? 

Using PS 21.01 and Mac Catalina, thumbnails in Bridge do not automatically show the Auto adjustments . To get them I need to open the individual file in Camera Raw, click on  Auto and then Done.There used to be an option to make this the default setting but I can no longer find it.Help greatly appreciated.

Hi, Bridge CC 2019, Preview Panel will sometimes not show the previews for some TIFF files.Will only show TIFF file icon. Metadata for camera settings when shot, will be blank.It apprears to be random, some files previews render fine some not. When edit these files in Photoshop and saved, then the preview will render in Bridge, Metadata is restored. But upon quitting Bridge and relaunching, the preview no longer appears and reverts back to showing TIFF icon.Reset Preferences, Purged Cache for all files will render previews fine. But again, upon quitting Bridge and relaunching, reverts back to showing TIFF icon.Seems to do fine with JPGs.Updated to Bridge CC 2020, same problem.Searching online, cannot find anyone else with this problem.System is Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6  Any suggestions?Thanks in advance.

Hello When I go to Extra - Change name in batch, i chose for the namesetting jjjjmmdd or jjmmdd. With both options the year in the filename wil be changed to 2019. The date of my system is 2020.

Why in the same folder are there differing artboard sizes displayed in adobe bridge when all artboards are exactly the same size. Some artboards include Art outside the art boards some don't? Ive treated each file the same.  

Is there a way to hide all images in a folder except for this I have selected? (Using CTRL + Click) I would like to focus on small batches by selecting a few and viewing their thumbnails next to eachother, instead of renaming them.

I was looking at some imgaes last night and then today only the ones I hace colored have shown up, on the side menu it' hasn't shown any colors. Not sure what's going one I have reinstalled bridge  on my computer but still the same, note other folders are not like this one. Any help would be awesome.

Seems that bridge re-indexes smart collections when you click on them!Why do these collections not stay indexed?Anyone?

Not sure how this happened, but I mistakenly uploaded my entire hard drive and basically everything on my MAC into Bridge. I realized that if I delete any folders, they delete off my hard drive as well. Any ideas how to start over so I'm only using it for photography?
