Questions

I notice that keywords are not automatically synced across my various computers.  Will I be able to find images that have the same keyword applied on one computer as on another?  For example: The keyword DOGS has been manually added (not import/export) to COMPUTER A as follows:KEYWORDS- 2025-- ANIMALS--- DOGS The keyword DOGS has been manually added (not import/export) to COMPUTER B as follows:KEYWORDS- 2025-- DOGS I applied the keyword DOGS to IMAGE 3456 on COMPUTER A. Will I find that same image on COMPUTER B?  

Hello,I draw your attention to the slow loading of the preview when scrolling through the previews quickly. This still happens in the new version of Adobe Bridge 14.0.2. Waiting for the preview to load is really annoying. I mean, before the preview is rendered, it's still kind of pixelated. My thumbnails are always cached. This happens even after clearing the cache. It was fine in version 14. I have it ttested. Please really fix do it! it seriously disrupts the speed of processing the order and, above all, it hurts the eyes! I didn't buy a $5000 USD MB to wait for something!Apple M1 Max, 32 RAM, 2 TBLatest Sonoma UpdatesI am sending a sample here. V14.0.0 Works well. previews are sharp and still loaded when browsing.   V14.0.2 They are broken and out of focus when scrolling. always takes time to render.

I have the same problem as a lot of people in that whenever I try to delete or move an image I get the dreaded error message. I have followed the advice in previous posts - changing permissions by unlocking the padlock but when I go back into the 'get info' tab the padlock is on again. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, purged cache but now I am all out of ideas. Please help. I am using Mac Sequoia 15.6.1. I can delet files from Finder but this is not a good option 

I bought a new MAC yesterday (see stats below). this morning before doing anything else on the MAC, I completed  a clean install of Photoshop and Bridge.  -Bridge is not reading the Western Digital external hard drive (EHD). -Photoshop reads the EHD with no problem.I can  import multiple images from the EHD via Script/Load Files into Stack to do focus stacking in PS.  -Even after giving Bridge permission in Security/Privacy in Settings (and rebooting), it still will not read the EHD. The EHD icon shows in the Content window next to the Mac HD, but when I click on the EHD, the message in the window says “No items to display”. I’ve waited several minutes hoping Bridge was needing to read the files.   -Accessing the EHD with PS shows up immediately with folders/files readily accessible.  I had this problem with Bridge 2024 on my 2015 MacBook. After working with tech support (we could never figure out the problem), I decided to keep us

I'm running a Mac Studio, using OS Sequoia Version 15.6.1 (software updated today - 14th Sept 25), and using Photoshop CC 26.10.0 adn Bridge 15.1.1.729, both updated 26 days ago. When attempt a batch action from bridge, choosing Tools>Photoshop>Batch, it looks like it is going to work, but nothing happens.  I have tried TIOATIOA to no avail.  Any ideas?? 

Requesting best path to learn how to use Adobe Bridge, had it for years, just never went to it as did all with PSHP . Just saw so much on Bridge of mine, no idea how to put it in PSHP - is that what you do and so ....for me, this is new found fun once I 'get it' (howto) thank you to   anyone out there, kindred spirits in art. CDW.  I want to make a children's book ! 

When I make changes to photos in bridge using camera raw, it only changes it on bridge. I figured this is like any other photo editing application where it also changes the original source image. For example, when I use a photo editing app on my phone like Snapseed, once I make the changes on the app, it'll actually change the original image in my photos. Is it possible to make it so that when I change images on bridge, it also changes the original source images I have on file?

I frequently display a smaller sized preview when checking the balance of the overall image.I think the algorithm for this display has changed since bridge ver. 2023. The attached image is an enlarged screenshot of the preview panel with the smaller size.In ver.2022 and before, when "use software rendering" was checked, the preview was smooth.However, ver.2023 and 2024 have jaggies and are difficult to see. This is especially true for thin objects and objects with high border contrast, such as beards and wires. The problem is that the accuracy is changing between the reduced output and the preview of the same size in bridge.(That's why I used to use this option, but it no longer works and I can't update recent version) I would like a fix.   

Bridge opens .psds in Illustratror even though the file type association is photoshop 2025. psd did open in the photoshp beta version until we deleted the beta. Cheers Steve

Dear Community,  after manually setting InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Bridge (all up to date as of 10/9/25) to Europe Prepress 3, Adobe RGB (1998) and Coated Fogra39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) and clicking Apply in Bridge (having selected Europe Prepress 3), no synchronziation happens. After restarting all said applications, InDesign and Bridge say they are synchronized, Illustrator says they aren't, and Photoshop and Acrobat don't say anything. What am I missing here? Thanks!

Hi all, I use Bridge for the first view of my raw files. I rate my files to continue in lightroom later.Normally I love to work with the full screen, but I need the meta data like aperture, shutter speed and the ISO setting. Is it possible to show these datas in the full screen mode? Thx and regards, Moritz

Windows11 with Bridge 15.1.1 reinstalled. Bridge opens, don't find photos on d: drive and freezes

Images aren't showing up in Bridge from my new Nikon Z5II Any suggestions on what is the issue?  Thanks! 

Hallo. Warum kann ich in Bridge nur mit Strg+ Ziffer Bewerten udnd Beschriften? Kann ich das irgendwo ändern, dass ich nur die Ziffer eingebn brauche, so wie in LRc? Früher gab es ein Häkchen in den Voreinstellungen; das fehlt jetzt bei mir!

OSX 13.7.1. I don't use Bridge much, but wanted to check a few things out this morning & found that both 2024 and 2025 are crashing when starting up. It looks like it's doing so just before loading images or the rest of the interface or something. 2024 asked me if I wanted to add two scripts this morning, which I did; when that wouldn't start up, I installed 2025, which has the same problem, so wondering if something in those two scripts did it. That said, I can't find the startup scripts. Unfortunately the Adobe article I saw only showed how to activate/deactivate them from within Bridge. Any help appreciated!  

I have Adobe Bridge 15.1.1.729 and im trying to use the find option to look for all my .mov files in my external drive, i use filename criteria ends with .mov, and the thing just finds 300 elements i know i have more than 11,000 .mov files, what is happening? im 35 years old and since i have 14 i can't remember just one version of any adobe software working flawless 

As I'm culling in Bridge, it keeps refreshing and going back to the top of the folder. I then have to scroll down to where I was to continue rating photos. After another minute or two, it will do it again. Does anyone have  a solution for this? It has been doing it that past 2 days. I have updated the program, updated my computer, shut everything down, etc and nothing has worked so far. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, If this is a config prob, I'd love to know how to fix, but if this is by design, please change the design...I am using the latest version of bridge -It seems that adobe has removed the arrows on the edges of the scroll bars and I am unable to make accurte small scolls using those arrows... I marked the corners of the scrollbar where it's clear there are no arrows... This is annoying and not user-friendly to say the least.Please enlighten me... how do I get those arrows back? Just to show what's missing - here's a different, non adobe app, with normal scrollbar arrows:Thanks,Vered

Good evening,Adobe bridge freezes with rather large amount of images in the same folder (about 200 files), but it crashes even with a few.it also freezes on opening.i've tried all i can find in "Troubleshoot Bridge for freezes and performance issues" on Adobe website with multiple combinations and looked for solutions on the Adobe community.i've unistalled Norton AV, one drive, Dropbox. i dont work on lan/usb disks or NAS.I've also tried "use software rendering".After i clear cache/preferences (ctrl+alt+shift on startup) it seems to work for a few, then it begin to hang or work terrible slowly.Nothing. Always the same problem. It seems that is slow/hangs on creating thumbnails (preview quality: standard, preview size: embedded). This with these versions:Bridge 14.1.1.274Camera raw 16.4 i've downgraded Camera raw to 16.0 and now it seems to work a little better (it allows me opening folders/see images), but this is not a solution, i need some advance help to solve this pr

The last time I registered the copyright of images, was a few years ago, and I slogged through, using a workaround in Excel to create the required comma separated list of my images. The only time I use Excel is for this purpose every few years, and it's cumbersome time sucker to have to relearn. Rather than go through that process, is there a simpler way to make a comma separated list of hundreds of image files?  That would be a pretty cool feature to have in Bridge & Lightroom, for example. Thanks, Dennis

Ich habe einen Ordner mit ca 5000 Bildern und Bridge beginnt jedesmal beim Öffnen die Miniaturen neu zu generieren. Das kann teilweise bis zu 60 Minuten dauern. Ich finde keine Lösung um diesen Vorgang abzustellen. Auch der Adobe support konnte nicht helfen. Hat jemand eine Lösung für mich? Vielen Dank I have a folder with about 5000 pictures and Bridge starts to regenerate the thumbnails every time I open it. This can sometimes take up to 60 minutes. I cannot find a solution to stop this process. Adobe support could not help either. Does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks a lot

I'm trying to switch from Picasa to Bridge as my photo organizer.  My main problem with Bridge is that it doesn't automatically recognize the tags created in Picasa as keywords. It seems to recognize them as "unassigned" keywords and displays them in the keyword panel in italics, but each one has to be right-clicked on and converted to "Persistent" to remove the italics and have the keyword entered into Bridge's library of keywords.  Since I have hundreds of keywords, that's not going to work for me.  Is there a faster way?

I thought bridge on windows had problems 15.1.1 is unusable on sonomathe folder view doesn't update. You can be moving around folders in the content panel, but the folder tree just stays at its default state.  Or you can create a new folder and you'll see it content, but it wont appear in the folder structure.  Or you can add files and they wont appear in the content panel.Export continually crashes (even exporting 2 jpegs from psds caused a crash). It needs a force-close to get out of it. Using a marquee to select files (which used to be an awesome way to select altnernate exposures in a timelapse,) hasn't worked properly since version 12.
