I've been using Adobe for quite a few years and generally it's great. However, I shoot a lot of 3 frame auto exposure bracketed images. Normally in Bridge I select the three images, right click and select "Open in Camera Raw". In the latest software releases ( Bridge 14.0.0.102 ) this still functions but when you click the "Open" button in ACR it doesn't open the .dng file in Photoshop. It does create it and if it's selcted it will open in ACR and the "Open" button transfers it into Photoshop. A severe time waster - especially when trying to process images to be sent to the newspapers ! Instead of selecting "Open in Camer Raw" from within Bridge, if you select "Open With"and select Photoshop 2024 the process appears to be the same but it does open the image directly in Photoshop just like it used to do. I found this workaound quite by accident on another community posting but I thought I'd add it here in order to save some other poor bugger's frustration. This does all work a

I went to the file extensions manager and I do not have the option to select photoshop from the dropdown menu. I am confronted with a "browse" option which basicallly opens up file explorer. I CANNOT FIND PHOTOSHOP IN THE ADOBE FOLDER. It is installed [version 22.2] SO WHERE THE HELL IS IT????????????????? However, I should not have to root around the programs file. It should be available as a menu item so I do not have to do this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. If the problem is that it does not work with my old photoshop why give us the option to roll back. And why upgrade bridge so it can just come along and wreck everything for the umpteenth time. I should mention that I have adobe running on two machines. My desktop has the latest stuff and it tends to work there on a Nvideo 3080 graphics card (although I have not tried Bridge to see if it is opening in Lightroom). However, running the latest photoshop on the laptop was buggy and freezing and crash

 

Hi!A strange bug occcurs in Bridge when moving (raw/cr3) files from one folder to another. The xmp data stays left behind in the old folder.  So I placed all the photos of a shoot in a folder called "originals". I opened all of them in RAW editor where I made a selection by labeling and applied a few basic corrections to this selection. After clicking "ready" in the Raw editor the photos are updated in Bridge, the labels and corrections I applied are displayed correctly. Then I move the selected files to another folder but there all labels and corrections are gone. When I check the folders in File Explorer I see the .xmp files containing the metadata are still in the old folder. How can I fix this bug?Thanks, Juri

BonjourDepuis la dernière mise à jour BRIDGE fonctionne très mal : lenteur dans l'affichage des vignettes, blocages et fermeture. Mon PC revient de réparation, mon disque dur de travail est changé...effectivement il y a du mieux sur PHOTOSHOP mais BRIDGE répond toujours aussi mal. Suis-je la seule à avoir ce bug ?Merci

I have Bridge 2020, version 10.1.1 on my Macbook Air running Mojave. I would like to download and install the latest version of Bridge without overwriting the version I have, so that I can be sure I am happy with the new version.When I go to Creative Cloud - All Apps - Bridge 2020 is listed and against it it says 'Update'. I don't see any option to keep this version and no link to the newest version.Please can I have some guidance on this, thanks.

On Mac OS 12.0.1 Apple Silicon, Bridge is failing to generate thumbnails for any PSD larger than 1GB. Also, Export hangs on these same PSD files and never progresses (no error message, just hangs... and then Export is broken until quitting and re-opening Bridge). Any fix for this? Bridge v 12.0.0.234

BRIDGE OPENING JPG FILES IN LIGHTROOM DESPITE BEING SET TO PHOTOSHOP 23. CAN NOT CLOSE LIGHTOOM WITHOUT MESSAGE LIGHTROOM FAILING TO RESPOND. HELP

Seems with the last upgrade to Bridge 2024, I have lost my sort button on the application bar. It was replaced with a search box.  I know how to sort using the drop down menus in 2024, but the sort button on the nav bar was really convenient. Any ideas how to get this back? ThanksScott

Hi,  I have updated PS to 25.0 and Bridge to 14.0 - When I try to initiate Photomerge in Bridge, it tells me to update to the newest version of Photoshop, which I've already done. I also tried reverting backwards to Bridge 13.03 but I get the same.   Photomerge is CRUCIAL to my work as an artist, since I professional scan my artwork and I rely on Photomerge for my larger artworks.  Please remedy this as soon as possible. Thank You.

Is anyone smart enough to know how to avoid duplicate sub-keywords? I am not. I had made phylogenetic keywords originally, in the form, Diptera (FLIES).  I found out, importing to my website, that the proper separation is with commas, and () causes problems.  So I decided to rename to Diptera, FLIES, This is an Order of Insects, and there are Families, Subfamilies and Tribes below this. And there are parents, Arthropods and Insects above.  I was first just trying to work on one family of Bee Flies, Bombyllidae, whose format I thus changed.  But then I found when I checked one of the subkeywords, the same one in the older one would also check.  Likewise with uncheck.  I spent hours, trying to view all the subkeywords and starting over, unchecking all the levels but they still came duplicated.  that when I then went to the parent keyword Diptera and did the same thing, but it made no difference except creating another duplicate of Bee flies in the

Hi there, I updated Bridge and now I can't find anymore a file in a folder by typing its name.Let's say, usually it's enough to type "sm" within a folder to jump to "Smartphone.jpg".Now Bridge doesn't react at all, and it's a real problem, since it's extremely difficult to find a file amongst thousands just by eye. I can't find any settings for it.Can anybody tell me what to do?Thanks,Erica

I have had nothing but issues for months with Bridge and ACR. Bridge won't close without having to force close, it won't batch rename, it won't open JPEGS in ACR, I cannot right click, copy and paste settings within Bridge. I've updated, uninstalled/reinstalled, read through formus and Facebook groups, downgraded to previous versions, etc., etc. Absolutely nothing works and I'm left sitting and watching a spinning wheel and force quitting every 2 minutes and I'm nearly in tears frustrated that I can't work!  MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16 GB running Sonoma 14 (as of last night trying to see if it would help) and all PS, Bridge, ACR is up to date. 

Very odd happen since last update not all f my photos show in Bridge not sure what too do Thanks. Bill

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have some files that I want to run a PS action on. If I select them in Bridge go Tools > Photoshop it opens a previous version (2021) version, even though 2022 is already open. If disable PS 2021 in Preferences > Startup Scripts there is no Photoshop option under Tools. How do I make Bridge run PS actions in the current version of PS? Many thanks!

I'm working in Bridge 8.0.1.282 on a Mac Pro running MacOS High Sierra 10.13.4With one of the latest updates, I no longer can see any items when I go to View>Show Items from Subfolders.I'll be in a folder called 'images' that I can see a few folders, (scene01, scene02, etc.) and images. If I open one of those folders I can see the images that are in that folder. But when I'm in the 'images' folder, and choose 'View>Show Items from Subfolders' I get a message that says, 'No items to display'.This happens for all folders on my computer and on the network.Has anyone seen this? Is there a fix available?Thanks

I've searched the forums and haven't found any solutions, so thought I'd start a new question. I'm on Bridge v 13.0.2, on Mac OS Ventura 13.0. When I try to filter in Bridge by star rating, label, etc. -- nothing happens. In the dropdown, it shows that the option is selected (ex. "Show 3 or more stars"). But it's still showing me every image, no matter the rating. Same thing happens with labels. I've pressed "clear filter" so I know it's not a matter of an incorrect filter. Just, nothing happens. I need this functionality to process my images - is there a fix for this? Is it a bug, or some setting needed to be changed? I have too many shoots to edit for this to be happening right now. 😭

On Windows, folders display at the top of the content window, above files, when Sort by Filename is selected in Details View. On Mac, folders display inline unless I sort by Type.Ideally this is selectable, the way the Mac Finder allows (see below.)Its a problem for me because I have CR2, CR3, and folders inside the same enclosing folder. Sorting by type separates the RAW files and sorting by filename mixes everything up. Neither works for me. Folders on top is FAR better for my usage.

Hi, I regularly want to sort a folder of JPGs that visually look black and white but may contain colour pixels. Is there a Bridge script available that can check each JPG and move any JPGs that have any colour pixels to another folder. My scripting skills are close to zero but I have been able to customise existing scripts to my own needs if provided with a script that is similar to my needs. Unfortunately, searching the Photoshop and Bridge communities I haven’t been able to find a script that is likely to help. Thanks in advance, any help that can be provided will be much appreciated. Cheers  Leo

Adobe Bridge recognises some of my indesign files as binary documents but they still open in indesign. It is just annoying because when I want to search indesign files, it won't come up because they are recognised as binary documents in bridge. Please fix this or post a solution. Thank you

In Bridge, after opening a .RAF (Fuji raw file) into Camera Raw and making adjustments, the thumbnails in Bridge do not show the adjusted file even though the sidecar (.xml) files exists. In other words, it show the unadjusted thumbnail. When I reopen the affected .RAF file(s) in Camera Raw, the adjusted picture appears. Bridge Version: 13.0.2 (shows that it's up do date)OS: Windows 10Lots of available space for cache 

I love using bridge to cull my photos for photography, but I'm usually trying to get the number down to a certain number. But when in Review Mode, I can't see how many photos I have selected out of how many are in the folder. Can we just get a little number that says "55/605"? Just so I know where I'm at in the count? I could then keep reducing the images if I had too many selected. Thanks!

This debacle with Bridge 13-14 is unprecedented to me in the industry. I have never seen an app be so horribly beaten up and released in such a bad state that intensive care would have been more appropriate. I know this is a harsh thing to say, but tTo me this is so serious that I suspect that something very bad has happened at Adobe. I wouldnt be surprised if the entire team has beenreplaced by some summer interns or what not. Or fantastic coders that had to take over a working code, hold together with scotch tape and impossible to build on. Is the state of  Bridge known higher up in the chain? Was it even rushed out by order of some new boss eager to "show his qualities"? There must be a reason behind all this? So. If any one at Adobe reads this, and wants to talk to me, anonymously, please contact me and tell me about what happened with the state of the Bridge Team. Feel free to write msg here or mail me at magnus@mazstudios.com This IS serious and affecting
