Questions

I am on Mac Sonoma and Bridge 2024.Have reset the preferences and purged all local cache files.  I selected the thumbnail of the image and was able to open the menu under 'Lable' , but it did not respond to my selected rating.  Grateful for your advice.

I'm trying to find a way of searching for files on my hard drive using key words. I have a structured list of my photographs on my hard drive that I usually browse with Bridge.. The number of photos has been growing over the years and I can no longer rely on my memory to find pictures on my hard drive list. So I thought of using Lightroom Classic to asign key words to my photos. If I do this can I use Bridge to search for photos with particular key words that I have asigned in LRC? Currently, my preferred work flow is to browse with Bridge to the picture that I want to edit and then open it in Adobe Camera Raw, do my edits and then open the picture in Photoshop for further work. But I am finding that I am spending more and more time browsing rather than editing! I have tried asigning some key words to pictures imported into LRC, by way of experimentation and then trying to see if I can use the advanced search options in Bridge. I've not been able to find pictures and mak

Not sure when this changed, but it's very annoying. When an image is selected in the content panel, applying a keyword, filter, etc, changes the "focus" from the privew panel to the subsequent panel. The result is using the arrow keys to selecte another image no longer works. While this may make enigneering sense with diffrent panels, Bridge is one program. The arrow keys should always select images unless an the actual area of the panel is selected. See the attached video of this behavior. The origional version of Bridge didn't do this. This behavoir wastes time and is annoying. To duplicate:1) Select an image in the preview panel2) Apply a keyword, filter, etc.3) Use the left, right, up or down arrow keys. Note how the arrow keys just navigate in the panel just used. This is useless behavior.

Loupe movement in Bridge is "sticky" or "jercky." When using the mouse OR the trackpad, the speed of the curser needs to reach a certain level before the loupe will move. Once it does, it "jumps" too far.There is some kind of bug or issue with the loupe where it ignores low speed mouse moements or something. This makes the loupe view less useful. This has been an issue for at least a version or two. To test:1) Select an image (more than one helps to exaggerate the issue).2) Enable lopue by clicking once in image3) Try to move loupe slowly.4) Notice nothing happens until you move cursor faster. Then it jumps too far. Video attached. Please address this. Bridge 14.0.1.137, 2023 Macbook Pro with M2,  Mac OS 14.1.2

Repeated clicks are randomly needed in the content window after scrolling. Please see attached video.

Beta 14.0.0.57: Locked images can be deleted in full-screen mode. This is a problem. When viewing in full-screen mode, one does not know an image is locked, so this is a problem. Previous versions of Bridge didn't have this problem. Previous versions of Bridge did not allow locked files to be deleted in full-screen mode. Video attached.

Hola. ¿Alguien entiende esta nueva función de Bridge.?La explicación es tan escueta que no logro saber como funciona.

I am looking for a way to edit the units shown when doing a batch rename. It defaults to pixels, but I would like for it to output the Height x Width in inches instead. I have already changed my preferences in the Metadata tab to show dimensions (in inches), but it doesn't seem to have worked. Is there any easy way to go about this?

I am labeling some photos from my trip on my laptop. But when I get home, I want to pass all the photos on my desktop to edit them. I wanted to know: If I copy the photos to my desktop, do the labels and ratings passover too? Can I view the labels I put on my laptop on my desktop

I've had a ton of issues with both Bridge and Photoshop crashing over the last few months.  I've uninstalled the entire creative cloud and all apps, and reinstalled them, but they're still crashing.  I have a 2019 MacBook Pro, and all specs support the software. What is the issue??  There isn't a warning, error message, or anything.  They just close, then pop up with the box about sending reports.

If I photograph with Canon R5 and fisheye 8-15 mm. fixes bridge my files. Right when they come in they are "round" like the jpeg files, but after 3 seconds they straighten up. Can this be changed?

When I connect iPhone or Camera via USB, Device not found since the latest Sonoma update. Tried Bridge beta, no luck there. Found something in Known issuses in Apple help. Do not upgrade to Sonoma 14.2 yet.  

I absolutely hate the updated Camera Raw editing.    Very user-unfriendly!!!  Please change it back.  I was in the middle of working on wedding pictures when the update happened.   All of a sudden my workflow slowed to a crawl.  To have to figure out where everything is. PLEASE CHANGE CAMERA RAW EDITING BACK!!!

I'm running Br 14.1.0 on windows 11 64 bit. Recently Br stopped displaying file names below thumbnails and right clicking on a thumbnail does not have an option to rename a file. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Br twice without saving preferences but this hasn't helped.  Can anyone suggest a way to fix these two issues?  Br seems to be operating normally except for the above problems.  Thanks.

I currently experience a strange effect:When I rename and save a "normal" jpg file I had exported from Lightroom (2560*2560, with Meta data) bridge "blows up" the image.From before 4.4MB the image now shows 26.5MB!And size increased from 2560x2560 to 5971x5972!See attached screenshots.How that? What's going on here? I checked settings and disabled some Meta-parameters; and also all references to raw data I found (that was my first idea that Bridge might save as raw, what imO would be stupid 😉 ).I used Bridge many times before and never had this kind of problems!I this the reuslt of the new "AI era"?Thanks for any help/suggestion.I helped myself in sorting in Lighroom, buf prefered continueing using Bridge in future...Hans

I click on Bridge icon in dock  it appears to be opening but doesn't. I am running on mac mini M2 Pro Sonoma 14.5

In the past, I could select files, go to Batch Rename, input my renaming criteria, and the changes would be made without affecting the file extension. However, for quite a while now, I have had to manually add a "new file extension" line to my Batch recipe in order for the files not to drop a file extension completely. See attached images to see what happens when I leave off the appropriate extension in the recipe. Nothing I've tried has worked and I've searched various Adobe forums off and on for ages. I just updated to the new 10.1.0.163 Bridge today (that released alongside Photoshop 21.2.0) AND reset my preferences.  Nothing helps. Any ideas? Edited to add, this also means the cache has to be rebuilt for all the images.

I love Bridge. It does everything that I need from a browser. The problem that I have - and it's not consistent - is that I like to create sub folders with completed jpgs. Each new folder might be for a specific team, Team A, Team B. I sort through the higher layer and give Team A a colour (say blue) while Team B gets red. In "Filter" I can select on Blue. I select them all and "Copy To" the new Team A sub folder. Maybe 50% of the time I get an error, and I can't do it. If I promote those sub folders to place them higher in the file hierarchy, then the Copy To works fine. Is there a limit of sub folders that Bridge can work to?

  Hallo zusammen, kann mir jemand mitteilen, weshalb ich meine externe Festplatte auf dem Bridge nicht mehr angezeigt bekommen. Wenn ich die RAW Bilder auf den Desktop ziehe, sind die Bilder ersichtlich. Dies habe ich seit einem Update vor 1/2 Jahr und ich weiss nicht, wie ich das beheben kann. Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe. 

ANTES AL SELECCIONAR VARIAS IMAGENES EN BRIDGE, DESDE HERRAMIENTAS/PHOTOSHOP SE PODIA GENERAR UNA HOJA DE CONTACTOS, AHORA ESTÁ LA OPCIÓN, PERO AL HACERLO, PHOTOSHOP NO LA GENERA.

I should start this post by asking why the hell I'm still using this absolute piece of junk program? Jesus, Adobe is producing nothing but glitch after bug after glitch these days. Does anyone know of any genuine alternatives out there? Something that *actually* works?  To the problem at hand: So, after installing the new scripts for Bridge (which I was prompted to do), it reinstalled, and now I have lost "Tools" and therefore "Image Processor" in Bridge. Where has this disappeared to, and why (WHY, ADOBE!?!?!?!) does this change with every update?!?!?  I am not a super technical / computer-literate person, so simple explanations would really help.Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you.Oliver

Hi,While culling images, I will delete an image. I press the arrow on the keyboard to veiw the next image and it automatically skips an image and jumps to the third one. I have to then go back one image each time I do this. Any help?

I have a subscription to InDesign, Photoshop and Lightroom. Why can't I open my JPG images in Camera Raw via Bridge?

Working off an external drive, and I've just gone to edit from my Collections, but not a single one is showing! They've all completely gone! Freaking out as the process of going through 40 odd games (sports photographer) to create new client Collections (for editing) is going to take soooo long.  Any idea what has happened as is there any way to get them back??  They were there last night.  But they are not there now. 😞 

I just upgraded to Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps. I had already been using Bridge, in which I had created some metadata templates. Downloading ACC has apparently altered or over-written my previous installation of Bridge and created a problem: When I go to Tools/Append Metadata, my template names are greyed out and unusable (will not append). On the other hand, when I select Tools/Edit Metadata Template I can see the list of my previous templates as normal (not greyed out). What can I do to restore their normal function?
