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. Is that a bug related to an update? Thanks   Greetings Joop [Email removed by moderator for your protection. This is a public forum.]     .

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?

Hi!I've been editing just under 2000 photos in ACR and after I was done I renamed all the raw files. As I have done countles times before with other file groups. However, this time all the edits I had done to the photos have dissappeared. I checked the hidden xmp files and their names are changed also so there should be no problem linking the files together but for some reason none of the changes I made, show up. I tried reverting the names back to the originals but this had no effect. Xmp files also reverted back but still no edits are shown. I tried opening a file in ACR to see if bridge was just not showing the changes but no, the file was completely untouched. Anyone have any suggestions on what else I could try? Using Bridge CC version 10.0.3 on a Mac. Thanks for any suggestions!

How can I update keywords and collections in Bridge 2020 from 2019.I use the same folders but I'm not having the same informations in Bridge 2020. Thank you for answerAndrea

In Germany we had the letter "ß" like "ss" in other states . If I use this letter in a keyword tag -  "weiß" for example, there ist no result in the keyword search results. If i rewrite it from "ß" to "ss" the search works. Is there any setting to use the german "ß" in search tags? The other umlauts does work for example "ä" or "ü" . 

When I go to add a label to a newly edited photo, once labled it loses it's rating.  This has been frustrating because I am editing A LOT of photos at a time and the usuable/rated images when labled dissapear to the depths of the unrated images after losing their 5-star rating.   Any suggestions?  Using Adobe Br 2020 and have NEVER had this issue before.

I exported a folder of 250 photos as shared cache on a nas server. Browsing with another computer does import the cache, but Bridge CC still takes a lot of time to generate thumbails and previews. What is this exported cache for, then? Thanks 

I was on a commerical shoot this week and wanted to evaluate what I had created with my client on location. I went to open Bridge but kept getting the message that it could not establish a connection and therefore could not authenticate me.  Not only was this highly embarassing but we also lost a lot of time, meaning the shoot had to be extended for which the client will not compenate me for.  I would like some sort of compensation as this is a service I pay for and could not use through no fault of my own. This is a direct consequnece of Adobe operating in the cloud without a back up mechanisim for when you are on location and have no 3G or 4G coverage.  I talked to the customer help team who where no help and just told me to post on here. 

I'm new to Bridge so probably a dumb question,. I've set up a range of keywords and sub-keywords (thus creating categories) for each image and I now want to search via the keywords, selecting options within each category (or master keyword) I have set up. But I can only find a way to search all keywords in a single bucket, very inefficient. Surely there is a way to search using the categories set up?     (Attachment Removed and image placed inline with the test. Done by Mod JSM)

I've tried many times to export my keywords (60+) in bridge. However, once I go to the saved text file it only has the defult keywords that comes preinstalled with Bridge.  It seems like a pretty straight fowrward process. https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/keywords-adobe-bridge.html#import_or_export_keywords Not sure why this is not working. Have any ideas or help? Thanks!!

The previews in Bridge/Camera Raw for one of my cameras looks as they did whan I captured the images, then they go very dark.  I'm shooting with a DJI M2P drone, and I adjust exposure based on the image preview in the Smart Controller. The previews in Bridge look many stops darker than they did on the Smart Controller monitor. But for a second while Bridge is generating preview, the images look as they did on the Smart Controller. The images remain dark in Raw Reader. (very under exposed) The captures are saved as DNG. I'm guessing that somehow the embedded sidecar settings are not being properly read by Bridge/Raw Reader. Perhaps raw reader doesn't have the proper setting for that camera like it has for my DSLR. Or perhaps there is something in Bridge/Camera Raw Prefs that needs adjustment? The key here is that before the previews in Bridge are completely generated, the images look far closer the the captures when I took them than they do after the previews are updated.

Hi there, Bridge is getting slower every update. Current version 10.0.3.138 takes about 4 minutes to change a folder.

I have some A5 pdfs with text and bar codes.In Bridge cc2017 i create a new Output PDF with 2 document in each A4 page (1 column, 2 raws), so I can print on a A4 laser printer avoiding paper waste.I set the quality cursor to MAX and resolution to 300, but in the resulting PDF the quality is very low (the bar codes aren't readable). The original A5 documents are perfect. How can I solve the issue?Thanks

When I use Bridge-Photo Downloader to import Sony ARW raw files the metadata in any of my metadata templates that I try to apply are not attached to XMP sidecar files, unlike when I import Canon CR2 raw files.  I can attache metadata to my Sony ARW raw files in Bridge via Tools>Append Metadata, but sometimes it is more convenient to add the metadata during import. Is the ability to add metadata to raw files on import a feature only available with Canon CR2 files?  Does Adobe plan to implement this capability for Sony ARW raw files?

Hi, What is the maximum number of previews you can see as you select them in the Content window. The maximum I've been able to put up is 9, is there another configuration of the windows, or a workspace that works better to see more than 9 previews? Thank you
