With the latest Adobe updates, it is impossible to simply drag and drop photos or files from Bridge folders to the Trash can. I can only do it now from the drop down File menu.

Suddenly Bridge doesn't show me my tiff's anymore but it shows Jpg 

Hi,Is it normal that Bridge does not remember the file formats pinned in the filter tab of the library when I restart the program?

Hi Adobe Community, I have been using Bridge for the last 3-4 years to cull my images before opening in Lightroom/Ps. For some reason after my latest update, the culling process has been glitchy and once I mark my images as a '5 star' they don't mark and then I cannot filter them out. Please someone advise. Thank you! Melinda

It used to be when I select photos and rename (cmnd + shift + R) the Rename box would pop up with the first text option already highlighed and I would hit tab tab to get to my desired text box and rename the photo and then select more photos and do the same. Been doing it this way for 8+ years and my muscle memory is ingrained in my workflow.  Now, I select photos and open the rename screen and the JUST the 'rename' button is highlighted and in order to get to my desired text box it would take 11 tab hits because it cycles through every single option on the screen starting from the top down. Including the + and - signs next to the text box. This is throwing me way off and I can't figure out how to fix it. iMac running Ventura 13.6.1 and Bridge 14.0 Any suggestions would be much appreciated!  

Dear Community, I was just exporting files from Lightroom, when I accidentally deleted the originals that lightroom wanted to usw to export the edited versions.So of course lightroom said "cannot find the original files anymore". However they are NOT in the trash can and I also cannot find them in the library cache. I find the ones I did not delete in the cache.I use Bridge 2018 CC on a Mac 10.15.7. Catalina. The files were on an SD Card. It did not ask me if I'm sure I wish to delete. They were just gone. (I used command delete) The return button was greyed out.Thank you,Iris

I have quite a few .avi videos.  Apparently I can't apply Keywords to the metadata.  Should I convert these files?  If so is .mp4 the best?  Is there a converter I should prefer?  Or other suggestions?Thank you

Bonjour, J'ai une base de données photos sur un serveur partagé avec une autre personne. Après avoir installé Bridge sur mon PC, j'ai ajouté des mots-clés sur les photos et la fonction de recherche fonctionne parfaitement. J'ai installé Bridge sur un second PC (nouveau compte) connecté également au serveur. J'ai importé la liste de mots-clés et j'ai accédé aux mêmes photos que sur le premier PC. Hors, sur ce second ordinateur la recherche de mots-clés ne donne aucun résultat. Le logiciel ne semble pas "lire" les mots-clés existant pourtant bien sur les données EXIF des photos. J'ai remarqué qu'il fallait ouvrir les dossiers photos pour que le logiciel lise enfin les métadonnées. Est-ce normal ? Il y t'il un moyen pour que le logiciel reconnaisse directement les mots-clés au lieu de devoir ouvrir l'ensemble des fichiers ? Merci pour vos réponses. -I use Adobe Bridge on a database on a share server. After the software installation on my laptop, I put some keyword

Hi, I need to find and/or filter files (especially images) by metadata stored in custom field. This particular metadata can be seen in file info, and it can be also found when search is done to all metadata fields. However, this doesn't help me since I would need to focus the search in the mentioned custom field. Is there some way to work with this matter?

Dear all,More than once my PC collapses after using this new function. I'm quite fond of it and would like to resolve this issue. I'm using the most recent versions of Camera Raw, PS on my updated Windows 11 PC. Thanks in advance for your help

I've several Collections with thousands of photos in each.If I copy some photos from one collection (no matter if via CTRL+C/V or drag&drop) to another location: After this operation ALL photos in the collection are shown twice - if I again copy some photos, ALL photos are shown three times - and so on.If I switch the view to another collection and than back - everything is fine and all photos are shown only once (as expected).This problem occurs for years now - OS is Windows 11 (was 10, 8, 7 before).

Hi everyone, I have just upgraded my computer to a Asus ProArt Studiobook laptop and naturally uploaded all the Adobe programs. I have always downloaded my raw files from my Canon 5d mark iv using Bridge converting to dng files. For some reason none of the Adobe programs will now recognise the raw files on the camera. I have made sure all the Adobe programs are fully updated and the firmware on the camera is updated. It all worked perfectly on the old computer but not the new laptop.Has anyone else encountered this problem, cheers?

Is there a feature in Adobe bridge that allows me to play and loop all GIF files so I don't need to hover on each and every GIF for preview ?it's really time consuming for me.I also appreciate any alternatives cause sometimes I have to deal with hundreds of assets.

Hello guys, since two months I encountered problems opening Bridge. I followed all the steps I found on Adobe support. I have a Mac with M1 chip and MacOs Ventura 13.5, Java 1.8, Safari 16.6, Bridge is updated to the latest version available (2024). I don't know what to do, can you help me?

Hi all, Having an issue with bridge where I plug in my sd card and it shows me files that have already been deleted, a ghost of a file if you will, and won't show any of the new content put on the card. It shows the new images in finder/files, but not in bridge. Any way to fix this?

For many, many years I start every shoot with a color checker that I then use to create a custom color profile. I then copy that profile (and other changes) using the "Develop settings" copy tool, and then "Paste settings" to all the photos in that group.  Simple.  Except with the 2024 version of Bridge, the option to include the profile with the other settings is grayed-out.  So . . . I am forced to quit 2024 and open 2023, copy and paste the profile, then go back to 2024, because if I stay in 2023 and finish processing and try to use the image processor to create output files I get a message to install the most recent version of PS.  So . . . I have to go back to the 2024 version anyway.  Interestingly, if I make a change now to the settings to a photo in the 2024 version, the profile is no longer grayed out.  Between this and several other posts about Bridge issues, it seems every aspect of my workflow has been destroyed.  ADOBE, PLEASE fix th

When in Adobe Bridge 2024 preferences, under Startup Scripts, all the major softwares show as, for example, "Adobe InDesign 2024" and "Adobe Photoshop 2024".   I see this on both Windows and macOS.   But the Illustrator startup script says: "Adobe Illustrator. This script allows other applications to communicate with Adobe Illustrator CC"   What does yours show? Is this incorrect? How to fix it?

Hi everybody! I would like to know if it's possible to create new custom XMP fields (and editable)  like "Season", "Product Category"... in Bridge (for PSD, AI and INDD use). Thansk and kind regards Sealna

Why do I have to cache the image directory every time I switch to open it, and why is the large file caching so slow and slow! bridge 14.0.0

Hello! I'm in search of a Bridge script that will write a filename (without file extension) to the description line, title line, and Credit line (without overwriting!) in my IPTC metadata. I've looked around and haven't found something already written that does this and I don't quite have enough skills to write it myself or adapt something that exists already. Any leads or suggestions? Thanks!!

Hello,  When I view raw photos in Bridge that are dark/underexposed, they show up in this low quality/pixelated state. But it only happens when i view from my external monitor - when same file is opened in PS or any other app, viewed from the same monitor, its totally fine. And any other file format when viewed in Bridge in external monitor renders fine. Any ideas? (sample image brightened up for clarity in pixelation). 

I've had the latest (and terrible) release of Bridge 2023 crash my Windows 10 Pro workstation a couple of times now.  The last time was when I simply quit Bridge.  It froze the computer, went to black displays, and then restarted.  I'm fairly certain that Bridge is the culprit and not something else since the workstation has only done this when Bridge is in use.Not sure what Adobe devs are doing these days but Bridge is a hot mess.  Anyone else experiencing these types of crashes? Running Windows 10 Pro (22H2 - build 19045.2486)Bridge Version 13.0.2.636
