Questions

Some of my foto's are in maps in Apple's iCloud but I fail to select these maps within Adobe Bridge apparently becaude they are not physically on my computer. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi!  I want to watermark and send my selects through bridge.  Can it output a jpeg or is it only pdf?  (if yes to jpeg I don;t know where that otion is) Also, what is the best way to deliver the contact to th eclient?  Dropbox or something?  I thik dropbox sux - is there something better? Such a bad way to do this compared to Pixieset's glorious favoriting and display, but since I want them to order retouches and not have anything unless it's paid for, I don't see another way. I wish there was an option on Pixieset to convert all images to low res and ou could choose the resolution/size, etc!!  All advice appreciated!  Thanks 😉 

When I select a photo in Bridge to open with Camera RAW everything works perfect. I do my stuff in camera RAW but when I click open, camera RAW returns to Bridge instead of Photoshop opening my photo. I allready removed en reinstalled both Bridge and photoshop but nothing changes. Is this a bug or are those things normal since the last update(s). All my products are the latest version and my Mac is up to date as well.

I have some layered tiff files where the model has been masked out and placed on a fake background which is a pattern-fill layer in Photoshop. Bridge is not displaying the background layer and is instead displaying white, the thumbnail starts off displaying correctly but once the preview loads, it is blank. I have attached a section of the file as is shows in Bridge and then as it shows in Photoshop.

Hello.  What does this color mean, and where do I change it? This is not the color label, used for sorting/filtering. This is something different. All my tabs have this blue color. Thanks!   

Bridge unwantingly renames some files in a folder. In Explorer, all the file names are both full and correct. The original file names are sometimes long (persons full name and title). Sample of this is in attached photo. I am using Windows 11. 

On the Bridge dashboard, everytime I open a folder or close an image in Raw, the thumbnails in Bridge automatically, almost like they are changiung sizes to fit a screen resolution. Often times, epecially when in a hurry, I end up clicking on the wrong image or folder as it moved due to the resizing. Is there a way to change this setting to prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance.

I have a MacBook Pro (2021-version) M1-chip and 16Gb internal. Bridge 2023 (Cloud cc) doesn't see my network drives. But when I use Photoshop 2023, go to a network-NAS an sthen switch to Bridge ... Bridge sees the network. Howeven, Bridge can't open the network-nas (Synology ds418). Ans as result of that I can't use Bridge.Does anyone of you recognize this problem and if yes, what's a possible solution?

I was batch renaming about 1,200 photos. I manually moved all the photos in chronological order and assigned ratings...some photos had five-star ratings, and others had no ratings. During the batch rename process, Bridge started to act wonky, then the spinning pinwheel. Finally, Bridge crashed. After restarting Bridge, all my files were entirely out of order, and hundreds that previously had five stars now had no rating and vice versa. I noticed that many files had also been assigned a '(1)' ending and some a 'copy' ending. I retraced my steps and realized that I chose a three-digit numbering sequence in the batch rename settings (beginning with 001), but I had over 1,000 photos to batch rename. I think this is what caused the problem. If you've ever watched your finder folder during a batch rename, you will know that Bridge runs a script that maybe creates a copy of the file, then renames and reassigns metadata, etc. I think that my choosing a three-digit ending for a four-digit volum

I have recently changed from 2010 disk based versions of Photoshop, Bridge, Lightroom and Acrobat Pro to the Create Cloud versions.  Unfortunately, Adobe has destroyed the UI, usability and functionality of Acrobat Pro and Lightroom.  Great tools and functions from 2010 have disappeared in the 2023 versions.  The intuitive layouts of 2010 have disappeared in the 2023 versions. I am begging you, Adobe....... please do not destroy Bridge's UI and functionality.  Do not make changes to the UI that shift things around needlessly, do not hide tools within hard to find menus, do not remove functionality. There are some changes in the latest Bridge (compared to 2010) that have been useless.  Eg Metadata info in the Metadata panel has wastefully and unnecessarily been indented so the palette needs to be widened far more to be able to see the information.  Why do the indent?  There was NOTHING achieved by it. Another change in Bridge is that I c

I Updated LR, and the Mac OS (15.6) in the last few daysoptimized my catalog,restarted my computer and ran disc utilites.nothing works..this has been an ongoing issue, occasionally i have been able to upload images. last time someone told me to try an older version of LR and i got a bunch of images to upload, then updated my OS and and LR thinking it would all work with everything updated. No go. From the chat it told me to trun off the CPU thing, that did not help either. I am totally frustrated, the Z8 has been out for a couple of years, this should be solved by now. I did send crash reports the last time this happened, did not see any results from that. thanks

Or, "How many ways can you screw it up?" Let's look at some of the "enhancements" that Adobe has made from Bridge 2022 in Bridge 2023 (for Windows).Editing the description field. It USED to be that you could type [Ctrl] + [Enter] to commit a change. No more! Adobe has "improved" it by making it seemingly impossible to commit input via the keyboard, and making you move to the mouse (because evewybody likes mousies) and click on the tick icon near the bottom.Clipboard integration. What is going on with that? You can select a description or a set of keywords and bang away on [Ctrl]+[C] until your fingers bleed and it WILL NOT pick the content up into the clipboard. The only way it works is if you select Copy from the right click menu, because once again, evewybody likes mousies and this software wasn't designed, if I can use that word, for adults. This also results in a ridiculous number of visits from the incredibly annoying "Apply Metadata?" dialog, which you can tell Bridge not to

Adobe Bridge became an essential part of my workflow since version 1, but the current version, 15.1.0.635, is a complete bust. It crashes on the first or second click or access.I read some former community solutions and found that on a PC, going into the Roaming folder and deleting the Adobe Bridge and Bridge 2025 folders temporarily fixes the problem. Adobe, if you are listening, I hope this is a good as to the eventual fix.C:>Windows>Users(you)>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Bridge and Bridge2025Thanks to those who know more than me,Joe

I'm a long time user of Adobe Bridge, basically since it first was introduced.  Over the last year I've run into a consistent problem with Bridge that is making it a big problem to use. And recently I found out a friend who teaches Photography at 2 high schools has been having the same issues. 1) If I have Bridge open to show the Photoshop files in a folder it often will not update and reflect new files. For instance if I save V1, V2 etc of a working file not all of those files will show up. The same thing happens when I add JPEGs to a folder of images I need to work on. The solution has been to quit and restart Bridge, which becomes a bit of a pain. (And yes, I can confirm the files are there by checking in the Finder.)2) Bridge frequently crashes. Quite often it's just random. I will have it open while working on a file in Photoshop etc and will see Bridge has crashed. Other times it's when do something like simply renaming a file. These behaviors have been p

This was working fine in hardware preview on Aug 12. Now on Aug 14, any attempt to preview a .mp4 file hangs the whole Bridge client requiring termination and restart. Other file previews are fine.No other system updates have been performed unless Adobe silently updated MediaCore etc in the last two days. Post-problem, updating to the latest Nvidia driver 580.97 did not fix. Only software rendering works as a workaround. 

I use both Raw and Jpg files and Bridge will not recognize them on external dirves.  It displays the files on my main computer hard drive, but does not communicate with external drives.  Any suggestions?   [Note: I moved you to a new, separate thread as this is a different issue]

Hi,Bridge is the only place when I can`t preview HEVC files. AE and Premiere has no any problem (latest versions as Bridge).Windows Explorer has no any problem, too (K-lite pack). Is there any solution to preview HEVC clips in Bridge?Thanks,Adam

Bridge do not display HVEC (H256) video thumbnails, installed 3rd party (K-Lite) codecs etc, nothing worked up to now.Any ideas how to resolve, or if HVEC is not supported is there an alternative software to Bridge?

Hi Team,I am familiar with changing Tabs by simply hovering and spinning the Scrollwheel. This may be useful for some people. The way you hooked this up, however, leads to highly irritating context changes. Do the following:Open a few Content Tabs. Use visually similar items everywhere (here fashion images)Position your mouse cursor towards the top of one content tab and browseMove your mouse cursor up slightly and keep scrollingYour're now scrolling Content Tabs and have likely landed somewhere entirely differentOne can consider a few things given: When browsing content one will not always know where exactly the mouse cursor is, your mind is busy with other things. Folders of professional users will very often show similar content. Swapping tabs is very subtle – you will likely not even spot it in the attached gif. Please team, turn this switch Tabs by only hovering off by default! There are good reasons why changing tabs in web-browsers doesn't work like that. If you want t

After having trouble copying files from an iPad to my computer, I changed the setting in the iPad Photos to "Keep Originals". That allowed me to successfully copy files from the iPad, but now when I use Bridge to try and view the thumbnails and preview the videos, it does not work on the files I just copied. I can see the thumbnails and preview other videos that came from my iPad before the setting change, but none of the ones after. Note, I can open and play the videos in Windows Media Player without any problem. CC Bridge version 10.0.0.124 Note I have done this as suggested in another post, but it has not fixed the issue:Edit > Preferences > "File Type Associations" and I went to .mov and .mp4 and set it to Premiere Pro by hitting "Browse" and selecting the app icon. Thanks for any advice.

I opened Bridge today and it had automatically updated to 2024. When it asked me to imprort previous settings, I said yes, but my keywords did not import. Are my keywords totally gone because of the automatic update? Why did they not import over when I said yes? 

I have Bridge 2024.  I have several questions about thumbnails and previews.  The Adobe documentation I have found is vague.  Questions:  1) What specifically is the difference between a thumbnail and a preview?  2) When and where are they used, and how?  3)  When are they generated, and where are they stored?  4) Is there a way to tell Bridge to keep thumbnails FOREVER [I don't care about disk space.]  My problem is going to a folder with many -large- images, having generated the thumbnails at one time in the past, and finding myself sitting for a -long- time while Bridge slowly regenerates and displays the thumbnails.  This makes revisiting older image folders very tedious. 

the panel disappeared.  I was able to get a panel back by including preview, but all the info, data, keywords I can't find to reappear there.  

Is there a panel or setting that will show a file's physical path location when clicked on.I've examined all of the panels and have checked settings.Scenario: While viewing hundreds of files (show items from subfolders), when I click on a file obviously there is a ton of info about the selected file. But I would like to know exactly (the path) to where that file is located. IS there a setting or particular panel, workspace or view that would show this?

I try to eject the hard drive from Bridge and nothing happens.I have to close Bridge entirely to be able to eject the hard drive from finder once Bridge has been open and browsed said hard drive.I've been searching the forums for a similar problem/solution, but haven't found anything.Can anyone point me towards a solution to this? I really like using Bridge over finder, but this but drives me up the wall.
