When I update and install Bridge version 12 it never opens.  It just gives this error message.  What is the fix???

Hi!I am working on a Mac Pro 2012.I set up Adobe Bridge (AB) to view jpg image files in Google Drive (GD). The files are stored in a shared folder.The shared folder is linked via a shortcut to the My Drive folder in GD.I am able to access the files in GD through Google Drive File Stream. When I first worked with AB on the images in GD it was very functional. I shut down my computer for a couple of days and not AB does is not able to open the shared folder. I am able to see all the folders and files in Finder. My sense is that AB does not identify the shortcut in GD when it was able to previously.Can anyone give me a clue as to whether there are any changes in the set up to sort this issue. I have tried signing out, rebooting etc without success. Thanks for your help Stefan

Good morning All, In Adobe Bridge preferences I have Preserved File Name checked so I can keep track of the original image if I rename it.  The issue is that sometimes the Preserved File Name appears in the Metadata Panel and sometimes it doesn't and I don't understand why that would happen.Has anyone had that happen and, if so, do you know how to make sure the information always appears in the Metadata Panel.Thanks for the help and stay well.Sandra

Hi, I'm trying to use Bridge for my first time on a Windows laptop, but when press 1 it skips 1 photo and goes to photo number 3, if I go back to my first photo and press 2, it skips 2 photos and goes to number 4, however, I want it to apply a rating of 1 to the selected photo. I've edited the keyboard shortcut settings to allocate the rating (they seemed OK in the default) but there is no setting to skip x photos..? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

I'm in need of a tool that can efficiently apply watermarks to a batch of over 500 photos. These images have varying pixel sizes - some are 1500x1500 px, while others are 1200x1200 px. Additionally, the images have EAN codes embedded within their filenames, which I aim to retain in the exported versions. Does anyone know of a tool that can accomplish this task effectively?

Bonjour, Je dispose d'un imac iMac (27 pouces, fin 2013) avec High sierra, j'ai photoshop cc 2019 et Bridge 6.0.0.151 avec Camera Raw 16.5.1. Je ne peux pas ouvrir de fichier jpg avec camera raw dans bridge , j'ai une fenêtre une message d'erreur "la modification à l'aide de camera raw n'est pas activée" que faire je ne peux pas mettre à jour photoshop et bridge car ils ne sont pas compatible avec ma version OS. Que faire?J'ai également un autre problème dans bridge à chaque fois que j'essaye de mettre une etiquette sur une photo elle ne s'applique par immédiatement ou pas du tout. Que se passe t'il?Merci pour toutes vos réponses.

Another glitch I found today with Bridge 2024 (version 14) - the contact sheets that I use in the Output module did not transfer from Bridge 2023 - they don't appear on my Windows 10 machine or my MacBook. I spent hours creating several templates that include headers and footers - it is how I provide work to my clients.  I even manually placed them to the following location (which is where a new one I created saved to):C:\Users\johns\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2024\OutputModule\ContactSheet\UserTemplatePLEASE Adobe!!!  Why do you do this???  We shouldn't have to have multiple versions of Bridge installed in order to use workflows we have developed over the course of years.  I currently have Bridge versions 2022, 2023, and 2024 in order to do my work.  And those interfacing with PS make a mess.  Please, please get this stuff fixed.  Don't break the old stuff when you come out with your new versions.  That completely negates and positive interact

I'm creating a set of Smart Collections that collate photos into their respective months rather than clicking clicking each metadata date in the Filter panel and manually keeping track of which date I've checked as perusing through. To the best of my knowledge, and what I could search in these and other forums, there doesn't seem to be a way to duplicate a configured Smart Collection so I can rapidly edit the criteria for each month and year. If that is the case, is there a better way to approach this task?

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there is a fix I can pose to our IT department.  I work/connect remotely, doing graphics in a PC environment, and like using Bridge to scroll through our library of graphics. But it appears to be the root cause behind many issues and lost hours of work. It is causing Windows Explorer to crash, and perhaps causing other random issues across other apps--like Acrobat not wanting to open, Illustrator not letting me 'save as', messing with my Teams, and other random issues... I also don't know if it is behind my work computers dying early deaths. (I have been with the company 26 months and have gone through 3 physical PCs and 3 virtual PCs.) IT tells me no one else is having this problem, but I can't tell you if anyone else uses Bridge. After getting set up on my 3rd virtual pc yesterday, I started having problems today. I uninstalled Bridge and things seem to be working better, and my Explorer window i

I have a new (2019) MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.1. I've installed Creative Cloud, including Bridge, PS, Lightroom, and Camera RAW and they are all up to date. I can open PS and Lightroom just fine, but when I try to open Bridge I get a message that "The operation could not be completed. A write permissions error has occurred." This happens whether I open it from the Creative Cloud icon or going through the Applications folder. There is no suggestion as to how to fix this.

Hi I'm Tono, a non native english speaker but most of my work is focused on English language since I an contributor to stock photo marketplaces. I sometimes have dobuts about the spelling of certain words that I do edit in Adobe Bridge: Tittles, Keywords....  all my writings are under the "IPTC Core" tab which is the only tab that I need to integrate the text spell.I wonder if I could get any spell checking of my written words, as all the text editor apps have. Actually some apps allow to integrate certain plugins as Grammarly or any other. I worder if there is any adobe solution for this or actually any other third parties solutions for my needs. Actually any other parallel or alternative solution for my needs woruld be great to know if you had a similar issue and got a solution for that.Thanks in advance Tono

Since updating to Bridge 2024 every time I label or rate an image thumbnail in Bridge a XMP thumbnail is created beside the image thumbnail. I have never experienced this and it is a major distraction clogging upmy film strips. How do I turn off seeing the metadata thumbnails?

Hi all, I could really use some technical help. I have long used exyternal drives and Bridge in its older formats without issue. Recently, about a week, Bridge 2024 has been crashing as has new Beta. Prior to that, I have found that bridge cannot open one of my hard drives and I have to resort to looking at the files in finder which clearly show and open up. Why is Bridge misbehaving? If relevant, at times, The system memory low, please close applciations has come up for a month.  Thanks

Hello, Something is wrong with my Bridge on my XPS 17 laptop. It takes 1 minute for it to close.  Sometimes it just hang forver or crash. I have to kill it. I am suspecting it the build in SD reader.  Also, my Window Explorer (W11) lags when the Bridge is open. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?Thank you.

I'm new to Bridge and use Lightroom Classic to manage my photo library. When viewing my library via Bridge, however, I cannot see the virtual copies of my library. (I've no filter enabled in Bridge.) Please help me resolve this so that all files incl. virtual copies can be seen in Bridge.  

Thumbnails for my mp4-video files from Pixel 4 and Pixel 7 phones are not rendered/shown in Bridge 2023 and Bridge 2022 on Windows 11.The files themself are playing back well in Windows 11. But even imported in Adobe Premiere Elements, the files from Pixel 4 phones are audio only and the mp4 files from Pixel 7 are at least playable in PE. Things I tried:- "Purge Cache for Selection"- Delete all files from AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files- Delete all files from AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache

When I download pictures from my camera in Bridge I always get double pictures.

sorry, I am here the first time. I can't get Bridge to work properly, when iphone 15 pro is connected to my laptop (win11). 3 or 4 pics: no prob. But more leads to following error msg: "transformation cannot be multiplied. GDI-state: invalid parameter. One could cry ... ( I do use Bridge since over 10 years. Never had such problems with lighning cable. Now USB-C cable... Does anybody encounter similar problems? And the discussion software tells me that I should correct the highlighted errors. THere is NOTHING highlithed 😞

As a full-time professional sports car racing photogrpher, I take tens of thousands of images each event. I spend hours each day tagging my images with relevant keywords for the car number shown in the image. Then, I sort by car number to find the best images for each car. Again, this takes hours. If there was a way for Adobe Bridge to us AI technology to identify the car shown (at least find the car number on it!) or use machine learning to "recognize" the car even if a number isn't shown (cars often have unique colors as well as numbers), that would be a GAME CHANGER for my workflow. I'd at least get several more hours of sleep each day.Please consider adding AI technology and machine learning to help apply keywords to images IN BRIDGE.

I have searched extensively about the size of the mouse in Adobe Bridge.  It appears this has been a problem for months if not years.     My mouse works fine in any other application including Photoshop and Lightroom.  But in Bridge the mouse is TINY.   Very tiny!! Almost impossible to use.    When will this get fixed?

Im having an issue with nikon z8 raw files in bridge. To start with i have a pc that is practically as high a spec as possible.when i open a folder in Bridge, it slows to a grinding halt.
