Questions

I'm doing illustrations in Photoshop and using Bridge to sort through them.Every now and then, when going through older illustrations, I have the case where I am like "oh I don't need a .psd file of this sketch anymore, since I never worked further on it". So I usually export a JPEG and delete the PSD. Does anyone know if there is a way to save these actions (make JPEG, delete PSD) and bind a key to them? i really would like this to be simple so I could just press a single key and move on. 

Ich benötige eine Bridge-Version, die ohne AVX2 funktioniert.

I've used Bridge for years, but it seems that with later cameras, like the Nikon Z9 it does not show thumbnails of nor play videos, unless there is some secret I don't know about.  I've never liked Lightroom, but I found that it does show theses thumbnails, which would make it much easier to add desired metadata without having to use free programs like Nikon Studio to show or play the video.  So I was trying to test how compatible the 2 program in the title.  I see that LR shows my entered metadata, and keywords.  but I also saw that it had dates for the videos, which bridge lacks.  I tried exporting a file with the date and also added a keyword, saving with the same file name and location and checking back to see the file in the same folder in Bridge and nothing new added.  Is there someone familiar with both programs who can explain why this is so.

I ONLY NEED TO CHANGE THE DATE ON THE BRIDGE, PRESERVING THE TIME, HOW DO I DO IT?

Get this dialog when I launch Bridge 16.0.1.18 (latest): “Adobe Bridge 2026.app” would like to access data from other apps.When 'allowing' it just comes back on every launch. Not a huge deal, but very annoying.

in LR Classic I see the (sub)location and country where the photo was taken, but not in Bridge... Of course I enabled XMP and IPTC Core 

I would like to export a field from a FileMaker database to Bridge.More specifically:I have about 100 photos in the FileMaker database, each with a detailed description (title, technique, size, etc.); the individual details are then combined in a formula to form an overall description for each image:e.g., Bouquet of Flowers - Watercolor - 18x24This formula field now needs to be exported for all 100 photos to a metadata field for the corresponding photo in Bridge, e.g., description, so that I can then access it in Lightroom or InDesign.Is there a workflow for this?

Issue: Bridge stops responding when I try to access settingsBridge version: 2026 16.0.0.63OS version: Sequoia 15.6.1 I am trying to get the file size, dimensions in inches and pixels, etc. to show under the thumbnails in bridge. When I try to access settings, Bridge stops responding and I have to force quit.I expect it to take me to a window in which I have access to make these changes.I have already given bridge full disk access in settings and purged the cache. 

Is there a way in Adobe Bridge to create metadata templates that span multiple folders so as when looking for a template from the menu it better organised/easy to find; example (tools -> replace metadata -> birds/insects/wildlife as maim submenu  (and under each would be another submenu based on folder structure for the particular species involved where template files actually reside). If not is there another way to achieve this? In current implementation there is only 1 folder, so if you have/rely on many templates you'll need to scroll endlessly to find the right one. Thanks in advance for some help and if there is no way around it would it be an interesting feature to add in next release/upgrade for Bridge so we can ask Adobe to make this happen?

What cloud storage solutions are people using successfully with Bridge? Using Box Sync to store files locally and in the cloud has been working beautifully for us for years, but they just announced they will no longer support it after December 2026. Box Drive not working with Bridge is a known limitation, so unless they fix it before then, we'll need to find a different solution. What is working for folks, and what services have you run into issues with? My team is primarily on Macs.

I have a new computer, and unfortunately, I can no longer install Bridge 2022 from Adobe Creative Cloud. After installing 2026, I immediately remember why I stopped updating Bridge and continued using 2022. But now that I can no longer download 2022, I'm wondering if there are solutions to the following problems.- I edit many photos on my laptop while traveling, entering all the information into the EXIF ​​fields. When I get home, I want to download the photos from the memory card using the Adobe Bridge Photo Downloader. However, with the current version(s), it no longer includes the .XMP files when importing. So, only the photos without .XMP files appear in the import folder, and all edits and EXIF ​​information are lost. How do I include the .XMP files when importing?- When editing metadata, I have several templates with presets. If I want to modify one of them, I go to "Edit metadata template." For example, in the description section, I have multiple lines of text describing the pho

Hi everyone,   We're excited to announce a new Adobe Community experience is coming this January.   A little bit about the update: The new experience will be simpler to navigate, make it easier to connect with other creatives and Adobe experts, and is designed so you have a say in the evolution of the Adobe apps you use each day. In the meantime: Adobe Community will remain active. Keep using it as usual—there will be no interruption in access. In fact, you’ll notice even more Adobe Experts on deck to provide faster responses before, during, and after the update. No existing content will be lost in the update. Every single post, reply, solution, feature request, and bug report you’ve made will be transferred to the new experience. You won't need to recreate anything. Existing content will reappear in two phases. At launch, posts created on or before November 16th will be available immediately. A few weeks later you’ll see posts created between November 17th and launch day. W

Bridge is trying to render thumbnails from .raw and .RAW Noritsu and Pakon filmscanner files because it's thinking they are Panasonic.raw files. This results in a never ending loop with 600% CPU load with freeze, which even gets my Mac M5 cooking. Please add an option for not rendering certain file types. 

This morning, in Bridge, I tried to find an Illustrator file that I created on Friday. I used 'CMD F' and 'Document Type: Illustrator' + 'Include all Subfolders' + Include Non-indexed Files'. After 20 plus minutes it still hadn't found the file, and it was still Indexing. It later completed but the file didn't show until I toggled 'Descending order' down and up.I have just created an InDesign file. Search for InDesign file (like above) and the file isn't showing up. 5 minutes later and I have given up. Just not fit for purpose. The 'Mac Finder' does it in a second. What am I doing wrong?I can't wait 20 minutes every time I search for a file I have recently created.Apple Studio M2 – macOS Sonoma 14.8.2 – Adobe Bridge Version 16.0.0.63

Hi Adobe, the zoom tool in ACR is far better than the zoom tool in Bridge, however it is in Bridge (/in the selection process) that You primarily will need to zoom in to see if the image is sharp enough for further processing....In ACR, You just click and drag, then it zoom in as far as You want it, whereas in Bridge, You are lucky if it zoom in where You click, and thát get even worse if You scoll further in, then You will for real have to drag the image around, to find the part that You are interested in, and well to note, dragging a full screen worth, only get You a fifth screen worth drag, so thát zooming and dragging is VERY cumbersome, to say the least.Please port the zoom function from ACR over in bridge....

Just wanted to check if this was normal. I'm using the most up to date version of Bridge, trying to transfer photos from an SD card using a card reader. Adobe Bridge's photo downloader takes 3.5 seconds per photo, pretty slow when you're downloading hundreds of images.File types are ARW, around 60-70 MB. Is this speed normal? Or is there something else better to use for transferring raw images to my computer?

HiI used Bridge for many years for free. Now, after updating to Win 11 on a new computer,  I would like to continue with Bridge. But I don't know, how to install the software without paying for it.Is Bridge still free (November 2025)?  If so, how can I download it? As far as I know, I have to download first Creative Cloud, but which one (The Pro-Version is associated with costs). CC Client? And how to proceed from there?

Recently, my Desktop folder no longer shows up in Bridge. I'm using mac os 15.7. I've checked privacy and security settings to be sure that full file access has been granted – it has. I have reset my preferences in Bridge (opening with command+option+shift and then restarting the computer). Even uninstalled Bridge and downloaded/reinstalled it. Still nothing. I've tried everything I can find to get the desktop folder to show up and it still just doesn't. I'm completely stumped.

I have auto-rotation in camera (Canon 6d Mark II) disabled because vertical shots are displayed too small on the LCD screen. But this never stopped Bridge from auto-rotating the images. Recently, Bridge has stopped rotating images - meaning it's displaying images horizontally that were shot vertically.  

скажите, а как удалить bridge 15? он не удаляется никак....
