Questions

I'm shooting tethered using Smart Shooter and have Bridge watch the folder I'm shooting into. It is frequently freezing, not populating with the new images. I also cannot flag or rename the images and it will not allow me to close the program. If I force shut down Bridge, it will reopen and the images will show properly and can be tagged. This started happening several months ago and I have done a fresh install, even on a new laptop- same problem. I also downloaded the newest Bridge version (15), but same problem.  Using Windows 11, 64 bit. The files going to the folder are Canon CRS files. This never was a problem before a few months ago, all with the same equipment, files, etc. Any suggestions appreciated.       

When I updated tp Adobe Bridge 2024 my favorites folders got all messed up. Most of the folders are no longer listed in the favorites. There are only seven locations left in my favorites. Those locations left get repeated in the list about seven or eight times making the list about 50 folders long (way longer than I ever had it), but it's just the same five folders listed repeatedly (the attached screenshot just shows a portion of this repeated list). Bridge won't let me delete any of those folders from the list, nor will it let me add the folders I want to add back. When I tried to add the missing folders back, the add to favorites button is grayed out as though the folder is already in the favorites.  Any ideas of what's going on here?Thanks!Pat M.

I'm getting the error message that my CEP extension is unable to load in latest Bridge 2025. Has been working fine for the last 2 years.Also i'm missing the confirmation that a new startup script was found as usual when i update Bridge or install my extension. It does show under startup scripts in Bridge though.I checked the manifest.xml. Looking fine, will allow up to Bridge v99.9. I updated all Node modules. Still not working, but working fine in Bridge 2024 still.I'm on a Mac M1 with Sonoma. Anyone can help me out on this issue?

Hello,I'm not sure what I can change or what Adobe application I would need to deep dive in the settings for (Bridge or Photoshop), but I can't figure this out and I've been searching the forums for awhile.  Once I select a group of pictures I need opened in Photoshop, there is no logic to how they are opened. (Video below) I've tried making sure Bridge is sorted by filename, I've checked that its opening up in Photoshop in Bridge preferences, I've even tried to have the settings in default mode on both Photoshop and Bridge to see if that would work. It didn't. All I need is the pictures opened in filename order (regardless if its a jpeg, psd, etc.) so I don't have to keep searching for where the greenscreen version (jpeg) is compared to the psd.  I don't know how I keep doing this or how to fix it but I would love if someone could tell me so I could stop! Haha Thanks!

Hi there. I used to have this incredible Find and Replace function for Bridge. It meant I could strip out a given part of a caption in the description field and replace it. I used it to strip out credit information. It used to look like this. I recently had to wipe and reinstall my Mac and I have lost it. Does anyone know where I can get this and how to load it back into Bridge? Thank you!

I've a 1Tb Lightroom subscription and have been trying to import my photos from Google Photos. It's been extremely painful, something that feels like it should be a breeze is nearly impossible. Having got some of my photos onto Adobe cloud space, I came across Bridge and was excited that it could potentially help. But it doesn't connect to Adobe Cloud. I really don't understand it. Bridge seems to be Adobe's tool for sorting metadata and moving files around - yet it doesn't talk to their own cloud storage. It looks like they used to have folder syncing in the creative cloud app, but have since removed it. I also don't understand that.  My subscription was sold as somewhere I can put my photos to sort them all out but it feels like Adobe really don't want me to use the cloud space I bought. If I was adobe I'd be hooking up all my products to my clould storage and encouraging people to use as much cloud space as possible. Am I missing something??  So th

I've just barely started using Bridge again to try to catalog my various videos.  I love the way you can add keywords to files in Lightroom, by just typing them in and even typing in several with commas between them, and, of course if it is a new keyword that's never been used before it automatically creates it for the list of available ones.  The only way I've been able to find to do keywords in Bridge is to create one using the + button or right clicking in the Keywords panel and selecting "New Keyword" or "New Sub Keyword" and then if I want to add that to a video or group of videos (or any image/file) is to search through the list and check it.  Is there a way to do it like we do in ALR or some other simpler/faster way than searching to find and adding.  I can type them in much faster than search through the list.TIA for any assistance on this. 

I will keep posting untill Adobe answers! Here are clips showing how bad Bridge 13-15 work. 3 clips. The first two show the same  folder, scrolling through with arrow doen. V12 Vs V15. As you can se, V15 takes double the time to do it.   The third clips show how insane the respons time is on V15 when scrolling. You can se the delay when I'm pressing a key. It's laughable. What the heck did you do to the code? Every version after 12 has been unusable because of the slow performance of scrolling, culling. So pretty much it's broken for the main thing it's supposed to work as.  I've been in several video meetings with them, showing the broken performance. I've had many email conversations, I've helped them with screenshots, video captures and everything in between. The almost never replies, they only want answers, they never answer my questions. And I pay them for this? Adobe dev team, can you talk with me/us and give some feedback? Last time I

What is the keyboart shortcut to renaming a file in Bridge?  I can't find it in menu or even their list anymore thanks!

Bridge 2024 (Version 14), was released today. It is still painfully slow. Manually moving photos is a horrible task. Luckily, Bridge 12 still works perfectly. If it ever stops working my entire workflow is in big trouble!

Bridge 2021 isn't showing any files or folders on my shared server. Bridge 2020 had no issues. I'm running the most current version of Catalina.

The lists only move about a third of a line instead of one or two lines at once.This makes scrolling through these panels very laggy and slow.

Bonjour, Je ne peux plus utiliser Bridge. Dès que je lance l'application, la fenêtre devient blanche et une autre fenêtre affiche un rapport d'erreur à envoyer ou non. Je ne trouve aucune solution. Merci de m'aider si vous le pouvez. 

When using Adobe Bridge there is a check box called INK. What does it mean? When this box is checked I got short cut files only. 

Hola, cómo están? Estoy teniendo problemas de rendimiento cuando edito imágenes en Camera Raw y Lr, no importa la cantidad de imágenes que tenga en el lote sino que se agrava la situación cuando empiezo a usar máscaras. La memoria ram empieza a elevarse y no tiene límites, llega a consumir casi el 100% de la memoria, lo mismo me pasa con el CPU (procesador), sucede exclusivamente cuando comienzo a agregar máscaras sobre una imagen. Hasta hace dos semanas tenía 16 gb de ram y ahora aumenté a 32 gb y me sucede lo mismo en la misma situación. No se si hay algún problema de configuración en mi pc o cuál es el tema, cualquier ayuda o sugerencia me viene muy bien.  Les las características de la PC: Ssd 512 GB Nvme Western Digital Black Sn770MEMORIA RAM KINGSTONE RENEGADE (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHZ (DUAL CHANNEL)MICRO INTEL (1700) CORE I3-12100F 3.3GHZ ALDER LAKE MB INTEL (1700) ASUS TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI D4PLACA ASUS DUAL RTX3050 8GBGABINETE ASUS TUF GAMING GT301 ATX

My free Adobe Bridge download wouldn't complete the install w the message my Mac Os 10.15.7 (Catalina) needed to be updated.I'm not going to update my Mac Os. Period.Does this mean I can't install Bridge? If this is the case then WHY doesn't Adobe list this requirement before sending one over to the download/install page??

Hi all, Am I getting this wrong or is the format that GPS metadata is presented as in Bridge strange? I had to extract the data using Gimp to get the proper format:Bridge format:35,31.312N23,51.4365EProper format:35° 31' 18.720"23° 51' 26.190" Proper as in being able to look up the coordinates using Google maps.Anyone else having problems with this? Thanks,Carl

I have been a bridge user since the day it came out and consider it to be an essential part of my workflow. That is until the latest versions which are counter productive and useless at teats on a boar hog.That said, is there a way to install the '22 version?Thanks to those who know more than me,Joe

Habe in Verzeichnissen viele Bilder, z.B. 1700 Stück. Von diesen möchte ich einen PDF Kontaktbogen erstellen.4x4 Bilder je Seite, als 16 Stück. Es öffnet sich beim Start der Vorgangs ein Fenster.In diesem lese ich, dass es noch 1 Sekunde dauert und 25% fertig sind.Tatsächlich dauert es auf einem sehr leistungsfähigen MAC mindestens 15 bis 30  Minuten.Sind schon 2 Fehler. Offenbar werden 289 Seiten erstellt.Bei 1700 Dateien und 4x4=16 Bildern je Seite, sollten es wohl eher 106,25 Seiten werden?Ist wieder ein Fehler. Wo ist da der Fehler?

I have Adobe Bridge V15. Sometimes when I do a full screen view by pressing the spacebar, then it won't go back in the normal view even on pressing ESC or space bar or any other key. I have to Force Quit this application. It needs to be fixed. It has happened to me quite often.
