Questions

I normally use lightroom.. but I thought I would try bridge for selecting images before importing to Lightroom. But without a zoom (even to 100%) to check focus it is useless. In fact its no good at all for oraganising and selecting images as unlike lightroom it needs Ctl + number to rate an image and alt + delete to reject -- two keys when one only one is needed in lightroomn. 

Bridge 14.0.1.1.37 su imac Mini M2 con VenturaIl filtro "Data e ora originale" non fa comparire la casella "Nessuna Data e ora originale" che mi pare esistesse nell'unica versione precedente che ho usato (14.0.0, credo).Nel file allegato potete vedere che ho 33 immagini senza "data e ora originale" ma non esiste la casella "Nessuna Data e ora originale" analoga, ad esempio, a "Nessuna sensibilità pellicola ISO".Ricordo male? O è un bug?

I'm new to Bridge and I'm using the free version with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 on my mac/sonoma.Things are going well, but there is a weird behavior with the Recent Photoshop Files list (using both the clock icon and the menu bar).  On both my mac and in Bridge I have set .psd, .jpg, and .png with PSE file associations.  When I open a psd file using the Bridge application, it doesn't add it to my list; even after saving the file in PSE.  At first I thought maybe it has to do with the connection between the two apps, and maybe it doesn't work with PSE, but I have 2 old psd files and a png file in the list.  The strange thing is that I haven't used these files in months.  I have never had a cloud version of Bridge or PS on my device (so it isn't that).  Any ideas on why the Recent Photoshop Files section is behaving so strangely?  It would be super helpful if that worked.  Thanks in advance.....

Hello! Does anybody has similar problem?  It stucks, when I want to rename files on Bridge. Uninstall/install helped just for a couple days and now it's back. MacOS.

I'm not sure, for me it's a bit irritating, I think the window bar and the propriate macOS buttons look a bit scaled down on my desktop. On the laptop screen the buttons got really small. Is this normal like this? Tried to install Bridge again but the bar stays a bit thinner than all other system bars. 

Bridge allows saving and applying metadata templates but it can be a bit fiddly as you must be showing the Metadata panel and have to hit small submenus. This script puts a popup menu in the bottom navbar which lets you apply templates much more easily. I wrote this for my own use and am releasing it as a demo here. Save this script as PLAIN TEXT with ".jsx" file extension and place in the Bridge Scripts folder. Relaunch Bridge to make it show up in the Tools menu.  /* Utility Pack Scripts created by David M.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can stop it? I use bridge to select my best images for editing but it's taking me so much longer becase there can sometimes be 10 of the same photo showing up after I open the folder in Bridge? In the original folder when I open it in the finder it only has 1 of each image obviously so just not sure why this is happening! Screenshot attached

I can't figure out where I'm wrong in the settings, before it didn't do this.before loading raw photos was smooth, now I have to wait for it to load a preview.I set "prefer embedded" I have a fast USB-C external hard drive, a MacBook Pro M1

Any possibility of a return of wordwrap functionality when typing text in fields that have  traditionally always  had this functionality in the past, such as IPTC Document Title and Headline, etc.?    I would also suggest the return of single click highlighting of the text in a particular metadata field for the purpose cutting amd pasting.  This would improve performance greatly for those of who deal with lots of metadata.  ps.  I am otherwise very happy with Brideg 14.1      🙂 

"I don't see any cloud files in Bridge. Do I need to configure something for that?"

Looking for advice.  I have certain folders with 3,500+ family photos/videos and growing. Keywords and smart collections are great for organizing, but wondering how others handle this?  Is there an advantage to keeping folders below a certain number of files?  Is it time to start a "continuation" folder?  I recall years ago Picasa would set a limit to 1000 files in a folder I believe?  (perhaps that was just for cloud storage purposes...) Mind you, my question isn't pertaining to cloud storage (I'm using dropbox to keep these photos synced in the cloud--not Adobe Cloud), i'm wondering more about the performance of Bridge loading/indexing/generating previews, etc.?  Any thoughts?

Since Prelude was discontinued, Bridge has normally worked fine for scanning and importing video clips.   Many have reported HIGH CPU usage, I'm having the opposite problem.   I have reset settings, uninstalled & reinstalled bridge...all the regular protocol seen anywhere in blogs.   0% CPU, 0% Previews.  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?     

Truly annoying behavior - attempting to single click images immediately opens them in Photoshop  - HELP! I only want to open in another app if I double click - I am single clicking all the time...

Getting the error: ParseValue unexpected charHappens on opening Bridge, once clicked Bridge closes.Only happens when accessing our company server remotley. Please Help!

I'm running Creative Cloud on Monteray (12.7.1)  on Mac. The latest version of Bridge is not previewing Vector files, just showing the AI icon.I have checked my Security and Privacy permissions and reset the Bridge preferences.Any other suggestions?

I wanted to find a particular photo of our fire place - or is that fireplace? Not sure how I spelled it, I did an all metadata serach containing fire.  Wow!  I got hundreds of results that have absolutely nothing to do with fire.  I read all the metadata and couldn't find anything that came close to fire.Why is this?  What can I do to get more accurate search results?

In Bridge I used to see "open in camera raw" as an option for tiff files and now this is no longer an option. It only shows for JPEG and RAW files now. I tried checking my file type associations and they are set for tiff the same as JPEGS and RAW but still won't open in Camera Raw. Can someone please help? I want to open my Tiff files in Camera Raw so I can use the "Enhance" feature.

Su Bridge  versione 13.0.5.763 cliccando:  Strumenti - Photoshop - Elaboratore immagini esce la finestra "Installate l'ultima versione di Photoshop" ma la versione di Photoshop è aggiornata.Capita anche a voi?Come si risolve?

Is there some sneaky way for smart collections to dictate Bridge to only watch directories I specify? Let's say I want to target folder1 and subfolder4.1 and skip all matches from any other folder.  rootfolder1folder2subfolder2.1folder3folder4subfolder4.1   

My Color Settings in Bridge keep reverting back to North America General Purpose 2 (which I believe is the default) Our company uses GRACoL_Coated1_AdobeRGB. I never had this issue until I updated my Photoshop, Illustrator and XD. I noticed that anytime I go from using Photoshop to Illustator is when the Color Settings change.  

Hallo, ich bin heute auf ein merkwürdiges Problem gestoßen. Wir arbeiten in unserem Unternehmen mit mehreren MACs und teilweise unterschiedlichen Versionen der Bridge. Wir erstellen für unsere Kunden des öfteren Kontaktbögen mit mehreren Bildern. Für das Erstellen der Kontaktbögen werden der Einfachheit halber die Rohdaten verwendet (Canon .cr2). Heute ist uns aufgefallen, dass die PDFs mit der Bridge 2023 deutlich größer sind als die PDFs mit der Bridge 2022.Komischerweise sind die PDFs mit Bridge 2023 selbst zwischen verschiedenen Geräten unterschiedlich groß. Ich habe vorhin ein paar Tests durchgeführt, hier die Ergebnisse: MacBook1, Bridge 2022: 7,5 MBMacBook2, Bridge 2022: 7,5 MBMacBook2, Bridge 2023: 108,9 MBMacPro, Bridge 2022: 7,5 MBMacPro, Bridge 2023: 31,5 MB An diesem Test ist zu sehen, die Dateigrößen der Bridge 2022 sind immer konstant, allerdings sind die Dateigrößen der Bridge 2023 um einiges größer und von Gerät zu Gerät unterschiedlich.Die Ausgabeei

We have 3 new windows 11 computers all running the same software programs, one computer when running Bridge will not work correctly when using filter, ratings to flat 1,2 ,3, 4 or 5. You think it has worked sometimes as it may flag 4 out 20 but most time just not working. We have removed and re-installed the software updated from 2023 to 2024??? pulling my hair out to find the fix??? 

It seems like a bug or somtething wrong with the system. 

Hi,  I am wondering why Bridge has not been performing properly?  I can barely use the program it's so slow, I am using it to view RAW photographs. I have purged the cache for the individual folder, purged the central Bridge cache, reset preferences to factory, purged the cache in 'Go' - "Library' - 'Cache'...  and nothing seems to improve the performance? I have 8gb of RAm on my macbook air, running OSx 10.9.5, with 70GB spare on my 500gb hardrive.  I store all my photos on external hardrives.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance.
