Questions

Hi All, I'm hoping this is a really simple problem with a simple solution!  I want to be able to preview a folder full of TIFFs in Bridge, some of them have pages 1 and 2, some of them are only 1 page.  How can I set up Bridge preview to show me the second page of these multi-page tiffs?  Using the arrow keys moves the next file into the preview window, doesn't show me the second page of the file I'm currently previewing.   Thanks for your help,Dania

Why Bridge doesn't show files on the external drive (Thunderbolt Duo)

Recently when I've been using PS Image Processor via Bridge to convert PSD and AI files to JPG it's been either squishing them or stretching them. This didn't use to happen. Any ideas on how to fix? 

I would like to report some bugs in the "Metadata" window/panel (Windows).As far as I can tell this was introduced in the latest version of Bridge (15.0.0.397) (never seen this before now). As can be seen in the examples below, some fields gets way to large (high)  or to small (only a single line).Also, sometimes there are large areas of unused pace. In the examples below I have undocked the "Metadata" window to make it a bit larger (when docked the behavior is the same, but more difficult to observe). See screendumps below:3-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy).jpg4-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy)-again.jpg5-Open-IPTC-Core.jpg6-Open-IPTC-Core-again.jpg7-very-large-Keywords-field.jpg A similar problem has been reported here:IPTC Core metadata fields and data not displaying correctly – Adobe Bridge Feedback - Start Bridge- Enable all properties in "File Properties", "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" and "IPTC Core"- "Window -> Metadata (open the metadata window)- Select an image with metad

HiSince a couple of updates ago, Bridge crashes constantly when I'm working on more than about 10 pictures or if I have them processed into JPGs.I have sent countless automated error messages (after the crash) to Adobe asking for help but have not received any response. At the moment, I am using version 14.0.0, but I am not sure if I might need to go back to version 12.0.4Do you have any thoughts?I already reinstalled my computer because I thought it might be another software that wasn't working well with Bridge. After setting up my computer anew, the first thing I installed was Bridge 15, but the problem still persists. All drivers are updated, I use it as Administrator, System Requirements are fine.Thank you

What is the meaning of a chain link icon on a thumbnail in the Contents panel? 

I have been using the latest version of Bridge for months. To view an image listed in Bridge, I have been selecting that image and then pressing the space bar. For lanscape images, pressing the space bar shows a small version of the image centered. To expand that image to full screen, I would then click in the middle of the image and it would expand to full screen. Now, however, when I click on the image it will not expand at all. It remains a small version centered. I want to be able to click the image and have it expand to full screen, as it used to do. What can I do to fix this. Please help!

In Bridge my metadata templates are not showing up when I switch to other computers.  What do I need to do to have them across all devices?

Hi everyone,I have a problem with bridge, if I try to open a .tif file I get the following warning popup:In English: C:\.........\Photoshop 2024\Photoshop.exe could not be found. Please make sure you have entered the name correctly and try again.I have updated Photoshop to the newer version (Photoshop 2025), why Bridge does not automatically change to the new version? All the other time I updated Photoshop Bridge did get instantly the new version as the standard app,Here are my config in Bridge:Standard was set to Automatically select the newer installed version, I tried setting it up manually to Photoshop 2025, but it didn't work,If I set up manually to open all .tif files with Photoshop 2025 it works, but I dont want to do it for all the file extension that I would eventually want to open with Photoshop.It is a Windows problem? A Bridge bug? Did someone else experienced the same thing, or am I alone with this?    

How do I add the WebP file format to Adobe Bridge 2022's File Type Associations list? Thanks!

I updated it to the latest version.Running bridge causes a "bridge-12.jsx" error.Even if you delete the bridge and reinstall it,The same error occurs.Please tell me the solution.     

We're way past the 90s, so how about implementing a variable zoom instead of just 100%, 200%, 400% that we know from Windows XP. Sometimes when you show photos to clients, you just want to zoom a little bit in and not all the way to 200%. For this use-case, it would also be nice to have an option to toggle between pixel interpolation on/off. This feature was requested many times!

Bonjour, je n'arrive pas à faire de recherche de photos en selectionnant les mots clés sous bridge 2024. J'ai bien vérifié que les mots clés existaient pour certaines photos mais aucun résultat ne sort lorsque je fais une recherche sur ces mots clés.

Can anybody help? I need to get stacks from thumbnails in Bridge.I have lots of images, some stacked, and I can't find a way, in scripting DOM, to know if that thumbnail is part of a stack. I can get the files if I loop thru app.document.stacks. But I can't get the stacks from the thumbnails. Is it even possible?

Hi, i have a badge of pictures that I want to rename in bridge. Every picture has a different size. With the metadata I can add a colomn size hight and size width. So far so good. But the thing is I don’t want the size in pixels buth in cm. Is there a way to do this?

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
