Bridge CC2018iMac 27" with retina displayI use the screen shot tool in the Mac OS and have been for as long as I can remember, it's part of my work flow and research process. I just got a new iMac with the retina display (not because I wanted too, I had too) and my old screen shots are too small to use and/or read.I understand the retina display native resolution and the PPI of the screen/display and how it correlates to the PPI in the image. Which is what's causing the problem (in PS and AI too...but that's another topic).What I need to know is how to make Bridge show those older screenshot images in the preview pane large enough for me to see and use them. Or, is there a way to set the zoom level of the preview pane?

My coworkers and I add keywords to thousands of photos and video each year. We started adding keywords in 2015 and now it is 2018. We started noticing this year as we search by keywords we created our results are zero or only photos/videos from this year.  I pulled up the files from previous years and it now shows there are no keywords associated with the images.  What happened to our added keywords and is there a way to recover them in the photos we previously added to? How can we prevent this from happening again?

Updates are killing me. I have several hundred jobs that I access through Bridge. This folders are labeled by year going back to 2012. My labels are no longer showing in thumbnail view.

My Bridge app has a custom top menu with submenu items. Each submenu item calls a separate Photoshop script. For example:My Bridge Menu                         Call-- New Project Scaffold      ->     projectScaffold.jsx-- File Prep                         ->      filePrep.jsx-- File Versioning                ->      fileVersioning.jsx-- Layer Assembly              ->      layerAssembly.jsx    I am considering  consolidating the Photoshop scripts into one and havin

On the latest Adobe Bridge CC2018 8.01.282, when I label an image with, say, Select (red) the label that gets entered into the XMP file at XMP:Label is different to that of Bridge CS5!AS a result the new XMP:Label cannot be read by Lightroom (even with Bridge defaults).  Details as follows:Bridge CS5 adding a select (or red) label (option 6) results in XMP:Label=Select"Using Bridge CC2018 adding a select or red label (option 6) results in XMP:Label "$$$/Bridge/Preferences/Label/"Red=Select"It is still visible as "select" and gives a "red" label in Bridge 2018 but is unreadable by Lightroom CC Classic 7.2. What am I doing wrong or is this a bug?I'm running on a MacBook Pro with Sierra 10.12.6

I'm trying to view Output but it's not even an option in Preferences. How do I get that option?

I have an Mac OSX Automator app that I would like to open from a custom Bridge menu item. The menu item is setup. How do I define the file path in a Bridge script and invoke the file open command? The Automator app resides in in a local directory and the idea is to avoid having to navigate to the file location through Bridge.  Can a Bridge script open a file that is not visible in the Bridge panes?

Hi there!I use Photoshop CS6 Extended. Recently, I bought a new lens (HD PENTAX-D FA 24-70mm F2.8 ED SDM WR). Brand and type are not displayed in the metadata of the Bridge, in Filter Lens is: "Without Lens". All other data are displayed correctly. - My other lenses are displayed correctly. My questions: Does Bridge read the brand and type from the metadata of the photo or is the data stored in the bridge? Can I make visible brand and type?

When I start Bridge the drive letters on my computer repeat (duplicate) and "jump" constantly. I may have three "d" drives and then four and then three again. I have to quickly click on a letter to try and access my files and often, because of the erratic behavior, I miss and must try again. Any suggestions?

I see this was asked years ago (cs6) but I can't find an answer that works in Bridge. Is there a way to manage/delete both the raw and jpg files at the same time, as if they are linked together? If not, does anyone know of another app in CC that does this? This seems like basic file management. With 1000+ photos after a shoot, the redundancy is becoming quite painful.Thanks for your time and help!

I'm helping my father get started in Adobe Bridge (I'm new too) and he was wanting to do slideshows where the keywords he adds to each photo will display as part of the slideshow.  I don't see that option in the slideshow settings, so I wanted to ask if anyone here knew how to do it (in Bridge or using another utility.)  We're using Windows 10 as the OS.Thanks in advance.∞

Hi zusammen,ich möchte in Bridge gerne einige Bilder umbenennen... dies funktioniert nicht, da das Feld "Stapel Umbennenung..." inaktiv ist. Es lässt sich nicht anklicken.Hat jemand einen Tip für mich?1.000 Dank!

I'm not sure if this is a recent change or something I messed with accidentally, but here goes. If I open a folder in Bridge, then open an image file in Photoshop, I am unable to save any changes without getting the "this file is in use" dialog. The only way I can save is if I actually highlight a different file in Bridge; to my knowledge this hasn't been a problem until now. Is there a setting anywhere that I can adjust to disable this feature, that is, be able to save a file in Photoshop even though it's highlighted in Bridge?Thanks.

I have 2 questions: (1) What is the path/folder to where the .XMP files are stored? (2) How can I remove old, unused templates from the list stored in Bridge? I am not a coder, and cannot find the answer in Bridge or this forum. Assistance Appreciated! 5/13/2018 8:47am

When keywording in browser commonly used words would appear on the side.After installing the updated CC this feature is not there, which INCREASES theTIME I have to spend doing keywording.  What am I missing?  Is it sitll theresomewhere?

In Bridge 2017 I could batch convert RAW files to Jpeg, Tools - Photoshop - Image Processor.I can't do this in Bridge 2018 version 8.0.1282x64. In Tools I can see the option to Process Collections in Photoshop, when selected it processes the images and stacks them as a duplicate file - I think?  -  it isn't converting the file to jpeg.

-bridge 2018 (and ID 2018)-Mac OS High sierra 10.13.4-2 Imacs (one 2012, one 2017)Been having a problem where InDesign is opening files read only. At the same time we've been experiencing a problem with bridge.File opens in ID, that a few minutes ago was fine, as read only.Go to bridge which is frozen and clicked off bridge and clicked back on bridge to activate (unfreeze) it again. Then I simply renamed the file in bridge (added a 1 to the file name) and double-clicked and the file opened fine, no read only.On both iMacs bridge just stops responding (freezes) quite frequently until we click off and click back on bridge. I wonder if, when the file is saved when bridge is in this state, it causes the problem?

Some of the blue folder icons replaced with a white paper icon - what does this mean?

The code snippet below will place a new menu title "Automatic " after the "Help" menu in the Bridge main menu bar.How can modify the snippet to add a submenu category with options:For example:Automatic-- Category---- Submenu 1 ---- Submenu 2---- Submenu 3#target bridge        if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {         newMenu = new MenuElement( "menu", "Automatic", "after Help", "myMenu" );        RPP = new MenuElement( "command", "Menu Title", "at the end of myMenu","myAlert"  );         };    RPP.onSelect = function () {   runMyScript();  }  function runMyScript(){  //add your code here  }

Not sure if this is a Bridge question or an InDesign question, but here goes. I'm using Bridge 8.0.1.282 and InDesign 13.1 on a fairly new iMac with OS 10.13.4. If I select 3 (1-2.5MB jpeg) of around 350 images in a folder from bridge and go to File>Place>InDesign, it takes around 12 seconds before the screen switches from seeing Bridge to when I can see InDesign and the place cursor is ready. When I used earlier versions of Bridge and ID, it took 1 or 2 seconds. I'm working over a network now, but it's the same network as before when it was fast.Does anyone who places from Bridge to InDesign on a regular basis have this kind of speed? What might I check to get better performance. I updated my InDesign preferences recently (for an unrelated issue), and that had no effect on this.Any thoughts?

Bridge is the greatest for importing and organizing files, but I was wondering if it verifies the files via checksum or other process? Or does it just bring in images and videos blindly.

Not sure if this is a bridge or windows problem, I downloaded some jpg from my camera and edit them in Camera Raw. I can view them in Photoshop, Light room and bridge but when I view them in Windows Explorer it still show the unedited version?I used to be able to edit them and then view them in Microsoft Photos or Windows Photo viewer.I am using Windows 10Any Thoughts?Thanks

Hello,I searched for similiar questions, however did not find anything pertaining to my question.I would like to know, if and how, the process of setting up a watch folder in Adobe Bridge which would do the following:_________>on event of files being dropped into the watch folder, it would search for a string (ex1, ex2, ex3)>if something-ex1.jpg is present, then copy that file one time.>if something-ex2.jpg is present, then copy that file three times.>something-ex3 will be present in the folder, however this file will not get used (this is explained just for thoroughness of the process)After the steps above complete, there should be 7 images for each image set.Now, the newly copied images need renamed:>run a Batch Rename using an existing rename filter>After all 7 images for each image set are renamed properly, Bridge should move the completed image sets to another folder_________The furthest extent I use Bridge for is to quickly batch rename massive sets of images an

I have a problem with Bridge CC processing keywords incorrectly when replacing the keywords in an image using a metadata template.  The problem is repeatable, and affects my .jpg and .tiff files, but NOT my .psb files.Here's the process:1. I place a set of related RAW files in their own folder.2. I update the metadata for the RAW files by selecting all of them in Bridge, entering appropriate values in the Bridge Metadata panel, and selecting the desired keywords in the Bridge CC Keywords panel.  At this stage the Keywords panel shows all keywords as persistent.3. I create four files by combining the RAW's: 1 x .tiff, 2 x .psb and 1 x .jpg; these files are in the same folder as the source RAW's.4. I select any one of the RAW files, and then the Create Metadata Template option in the Bridge CC Tools menu - so the metadata template ends up containing the RAW file's metadata.  The intention is to copy the metadata from the RAW file to the four derivative files.5. I select th
