Questions

I am using Bridge 16.0.0.63 with the latest macOS software. I have a store of 22,000 images. I seem to have lost the function to search and retrieve images. I don’t understand why? Grateful for simple help please? Thank you Mike

eg har installert Photoshop 26 og Bridge 26, men... når jeg åpner mine billedfiler med Adobe Bridge can ikke filen åpnes med å trykke på ikonet for å forhåndsredigere bildene mine før jeg åpner de i PS-26.. Har dette noe med innstillinger å gjøre?? 

Good morning. The Bridge and Photoshop versions have been updated to V2026. I uninstalled Photoshop version 2025. Now, when I double-click to open a photo in the new Photoshop in Bridge, an error message appears saying that it cannot find version 2025 and the file won't open in the new version. It only opens if I right-click and select "open with Photoshop 2026". Can you help me, please? Thank you. Fernando

Ich habe einen HP-Laptop: HP EBUltraG1q X1E7810 14 16GB/1T PC und die Adobe Creative Suite. Aber Bridge läuft mit dem Snapdragon X Elite-Prozessor nicht mehr, bzw. ich sehe die App nicht mehr. Wie kann ich das wieder in Gang bringen, mit dem früheren Laptop war Bridge dabei

Since April 2021, have not been able to use Photodownloader in Bridge with my new CFExpress card.  It does not detect it.  It does detect and function with SD card from same camera and card reader.  The CFExpress card is on the desk top.  Adobe has not been able to resolve despite numerous calls and attempts.  Anyone else having this isssue.  Using a work around by directly copying from card to file but it does not convert to DNG as I prefer.   

I just got a new iMac M4, & expected Bridge to look the same as on my MacBook, but the interface is totally different. The main issue (of several) is that I cannot get any of the folders in the Favourites’ pane on the left-hand side to open. Normally I double click or right-click & select ‘open’, but neither of these work; the folders are unresponsive. I thought it may be an issue with the mouse, but the double & right clicks work everywhere else.I’d be grateful for any suggestions!

Bridge will usually generate previews with the wrong size when "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" has been enabled (checked). I would guess that this bug has been present for a while. The setting can be found here: Preferences -> Advanced -> Generate Monitor-Size Previews On my system (see below), I have a monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. When "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is not checked, Bridge generates preview files with a pixel width of 2048 pixels in this cache folder (2048 seems to be the default size):    C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge\Cache\v36\1024\... Then, when checking "Generate Monitor-Size Previews", I see preview files with a width of 2560 pixels for new files, which may be the expected width (but see note below *). However, with "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" still checked, I exit Bridge, then starts Bridge again, then I double check that "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is still set in Preferences

After processing RAW data with Camera Raw from Bridge and exporting it to JPEG, I cannot restart Bridge after closing it. When I check the Task Manager, I see that it remains as a background task. If I end this task, I can start Bridge again. This issue doesn't always occur, but it seems to happen more often after handling a large amount of data or working for a long time. The versions of Bridge I am using are 2021, 2024, and 2025, and my OS is Windows 11. Does anyone know the cause and solution for this problem?

How do I enable single key labelling in Bridge? I do not see the “Use Ctrl/Cmd for Ratings and Labels" check box at the bottom of the Content panel. I do not have that option.

Hi, I’m trying to change the font size in Adobe Bridge, but I can’t find the option. Is there a way to adjust the UI or text size?  

Over the years, my creative group has produced hundreds of custom digital illustrations. We are harvesting those images and trying to create a stock art resource for others in our vast organization to use. We use Adobe products (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) but I’ve never used Bridge. All of these assets have different file names. I’m trying to determine an appropriate file naming structure for a Stock art resource, i.e., create a catalog-style numbering system? descriptive terms in file name? Next, how do I keep track of what I rename each Stock asset file so I can trace it back to the original? So I am also seeking guidance on best practices for re-naming each file. 

I know that I have done this in the past but I can’t remember how I did it. The AI answer says to right click the image and select ‘set as folder thumbnail’ but that option does not exist in Bridge 16.0.1.18.

When cropping images in Bridge’s camera raw, is there any option to have a grid overlay?That would be most useful when making a video sequence of shots of s subject that is moving a lot in the frame.

Hello I'm using version 16.0.1.18I have a really annoying problem, when I open with camera raw a photo, it opens a windows that I can't move. Even if this windows isn't maximized, I can't move it to the second screen. This is really annoying because this second Bridge window blocks everything on the second screen. It prevents me from watching a video or searching help on other web sites because with each mouse click, the bridge window gets back in front.does anyone have the solution to my problem?Thank you for your helpValerie

My other apps are working just fine. I need this functionality back... I use finder to locate my folders then I just drag and drop onto the icon in the dock to open that folder. Don't make me change my ways!

My old laptop has Windows 10 and it can't be updated. Now Bridge won't allow me to edit raw files although it used to. Its error message says "camera raw requires GPU acceleration to edit photos." I suspect that I need to revert to an older version of Bridge. But if that's true, how do I know which version and how do I find it?My current laptop version is: 16.0.1.18 but on my desktop with Win 11 the Bridge version is 15.1.3.5 and that loves its raw file Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi guys, we are working on a book (using InDesign) with historic images of theatre programmes, old posters and photos that have been provided in a soft copy by the client, and we have scanned, photographed and edited them to be placed in the book. Each chapter contains about 20 to 30 images, approximately and 10 chapters.The client has provided the captions included in a Word file, so I know where the image should be placed and include the caption below the image. Here is kind of the Word file layout I got, i.e.,Paragraph hereImage A (Medium size) _Caption "Description text here", Paragraph hereImage B (Large size)_Caption "Description text here",Paragraph hereImage C_(small size)_Caption "Description text here",Paragraph here So far, I have to copy and paste each caption below each image manually. In some cases, the description is too long to name the file with it. My first thought was to do it throughout data merge, but the placement of images changes over the book, dependi
