Adobe Bridge 2023 is Unusable on both Macbook and iMac. Noticed at first it was very slow then it just kept crashing as it was generating thumbnails. I followed recommendations on this feed https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/adobe-bridge-2021-mac-version-causes-very-heavy-gpu-load-on-activity-monitor/m-p/11578643#M25394I noticed CPU put Bridge at around 200% and up and both computers where heating up tremendously. I tried restarts, resets, empty cache, you name it I tried it. Bottom line I am no longer using Bridge 2023. Im using 2022 version and CPU is at 5% or lower now. Works perfectly. I love the new tabs option on 2023 but its just unusable on all my computers. If Adobe fixes this issue please reply to this feed. I would appreciate the heads up. I look forward at some time in the future to start using 2023 version again. 

Hi,I have been doing photograghy for some time now and have been ingesting my photos via "Adobe Bridge - Photo Downloader". I like this becuase it creates .XMP files for each of my photos and I can put my name on the raws using the basic meta data tool. I have been privous worked on a windows machine that gets very hot (in the summer time with no A/C in my room where my desk space is). I decided on getting a new Apple silicon laptop as they do not create as much heat for the same proformance. Editing photos on it in Adobe Bridge and taking it into Photoshop is seamless and could not happen faster.Apon switching to this new Mac with Apple silicon I have noticed that "Adobe Bridge - Photo Downloader" was not as smooth as say Adobe Bridge or Photoshop. I figured it was just becuase I was accessing the new 128 gig SD cards I had newly purchased as well. Sadly it is becuase "Adobe Bridge - Photo Downloader" does not run nativtly on Apple Silicon!I am wondering how I can apply this basic met

I'm a complete noob.How do I open these images in photoshop?     #target bridge;     var files = Folder("/Users/chris.carey/Desktop/Get Some/").getFiles("*IMG*");Thanks,Chris

I run a heritage website, and have a lot of image files that are uploaded onto that website. After uploading the image to the website it gets assigned an asset ID. I want a way to add that asset ID into the file name where our backup of files is stored. From my heritage website I can extract a document with file names and asset IDs, so I think the easiest way is if I can get the asset ID added into the image metadata then I can used batch rename in Bridge to add this asset ID into the file name.Is there a way in Bridge to bulk add unique values to the metadata of multiple files?

I recently loaded Creative Cloud to my MacBook, replacing the Bridge 2022 version.  The new version does not recognize any Canon R7 files on a card even though the 2022 version had no difficulty with them. 

hi friends, I state that on the 2019 version I had no problems. but since I installed bridge 2022-23 when I browse the photos I always get an annoying black fade between the photos. it's a fade of a few moments but that bothers me. Does this problem happen to you too?

Hi. I am using a imac mini and trying to select and flag images in bridge. On windows and other macs I hit the 6 key to select a red flag. Seems not to be working on this new imac and keyboard. Even using the mouse to flag images doesnt work. Any suggestions please?  Thanks. 

Hi all- using Bridge 13.0.3, Camera Raw 15.4.1. I start with a folder of about 200 photos.  I go through and rate my photos (JPG), and then I filter to select Rating - 3, 4, 5.   I edit these in Camera Raw, do some cropping and adjust colors.  Then I drag those photos (about 50 of them) to my Export profile (which just saves and JPG into an "edited" subfolder).   Every time I do this, a handful of the exported photos lose their ratings.  The original before export is 3, but the exported file is unrated.   Any ideas?  Other things I can try to narrow down the issue?  Some workarou

So, I've been using Image Processor and Image Processor Pro for batch processing and exporting images. Would like to use the EXPORT panel in Bridge because it runs separatly from PS. Problem is that it only exports in sRGB and all my work is on Adobe RGB.So can we change that setting? You can choose it for PNGs but not JPGs.Tryied to chage color settings on Bridge and Photoshop but could not make it work...Using 2023 software versions

I almost can't live with out Bridge.I need to pick several psd files and convert them into .jpgI do it every day till today:There is no more "Photoshop" sub menu in "Tools".I've reseted it. I've deleted preferences. But still not appear anymore.Why?¿  

Hi there, I know the preview is just a generated preview and that the data is all there, but I am having a hard time working on these images because I can't even see the preview to see if eyes are closed or in focus (they are THAT dark).  For this particular event, I shot in bursts which means I have LOTS (1k+ photos) that I want to quickly shuffle through to grab the best ones.  I've used these cameras in the past (Sony A7Siii) with no issue so I'm stumped. I have Bridge 2022 and Bridge 2023 both installed with the same issue.I read that there are options to change the preview but I can't for the life of me find those options.Here's what I'm seeing (Raw on left and JPG on right):I'm sure it's just an oversight on my part but I would appreciate any guidance.Thank you!-Stephen

Just setup a new Apple Studio computer and update it with Bridge to V13.0.3.693.  A loading message appears above some of the images during the slideshow. The files are 12x12 @ 72dpi. Cache size setting 183 gigs, Keep 100% Previews in Cache, Compact cache on ideal. The slideshow settings are 2 second slide duration, scaled to fit, transition is set to none.  This loading message did not appear in previous versions of Bridge and would like to stop seeing it.  Any suggestions or questions would we great, thanks! 

I recently downloaded the new Adobe Bridge 2019 program on my Win10 SurfacePro. At the same time updated the 2018 version as it was a while.The new 2019 has some serious slow-down issues, which is a separate issue (it chugs, sloooowly).Before, I could go to the toolbar to Tools - Photoshop - Image Processor.   But now, it's Tools - Process collections in Photoshop in the 2018 version, while the 2019 is how it always was. I'm confused.I run actions on my images, but now I can't. Does anyone know what happened?Thanks

I briefly installed Photoshop beta (for generative fill) which impacted the existing workflow with my working PS 24.5.0 and Bridge 13.0.3.693. If I opened a file from Bridge, it opened in PS Beta, not my working version of PS (which I can understand, but not prefer). It also changed my Color settings in PS 24.5.0. But another useful Bridge feature is now MIA.A useful feature of Bridge is the ability to select files in Bridge, and access the Photshop Image Processor via: Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor. That link is now gone, which I'm guessing is due to my uninstalling PS Beta. This is primarly a headsup. I reset Bridge Prefs, which did not restore the Image Porcesor function. I then reinstalled Bridge (deleting existing prefs) this also did not resotre this useful function. I do NOT wish to resintall PS to resotre this function. This is a bub IMO. And I see I am not the only user with this issue. One other note about that feature: If a file(s) is selected in Bridge then Too

I'm using Bridge on the mac and pc (networked drive) and find both are unable to accurately find keywords, often finding nothing when there are multiple files available. Is there a fix for this?If Bridge doesn't do what it should, what is the best solution for a small team, using a shared network drive?  

I just touched something that toggled my panels in Bridge from vertical to horizontal & I can't find out how to restore the layout I have used for years. This has never happed before. Is there a toggle button or command for horizontal vs vertical panels that I tapped inadvertently? The hamberger option for Vertical Layout / Horizontal Layout doesn't seem to affect the panels in relation to eachother. I previously had Folders stacked above Collections at left, with Content & Preview side by side to right.Solution does not appear in Google searches or Adobe user guide that I can find. (please no scolds for not finding the right page)Thanks

i batch renamed my files in bridge and now they won't open in camera raw and the CR2 name bit has gone. have i made the files not raw? can this be undone?! ahhhh how can i open them in photoshop and edit? thanks!

I just went to do a photomerge like I always do in Bridge and not a single tool works? Restarted...nothing at all works. Not photomerge, batch, contact sheetII, HDR... This is Bridge 12.0.4.286 which is (2022). I opened the Beta Bridge and Photomerge is gone!?? Don't tell me Adobe is killing Photomerge?

I have just downloaded Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Bridge CC. Photoshop will open but Adobe Bridge will not.  I have installed and use Photoshop 5 and bridge. Why won't Adobe Bridge CC open?

This is driving me insane. The drag and drop rearrangment feature of the content tabs is way too sensitive. I try to be super careful, but several times a work session, I end up accidentally rearranging my layout then I can't drag the content tab back to where I want it and have to close the tab and recreate it where I want it. I'm ready to pull my hair out over this! Anyone have suggestions - maybe how to turn this feature off? Not sure it matters what platform I'm on, but here's my info:Mac Ventura 13.4.1Bridge - 13.03.693

Não consigo usar o bridge pra fazer o processo em lotes, pois na aba tolls o photoshop não aprece mais nessa nova versão. 

PNG format preview is not supported in Bridge 13.0.3.693How to fix the error?

Dans Bridge 13.0.693 disparition de la ligne "Photoshop" dans la rubrique "Outils".Comment la retrouver ou par quoi est elle remplacée ?Un grand merci...j.loiseau.

Since updating to current version of Bridge 13.0.3 (unsure of version I updated from) about 10 days ago, it is making my MacBook Pro nearly unusable without being plugged in because of massive CPU usage (2019 MBP with 64 GB RAM, on Ventura 13.4.1).  I tried purging my cache and resetting preferences to defaults per the recommendations on this troubleshooting page (https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge.html) with zero improvement--if anything, problem got worse.  And resizing the previews in a folder with about 500 images (approx 1800 images, 1300 hidden) does nothing.  It just reopened and demanded 200% of CPU time, now 1,019% of CPU time while in the background with me having done nothing but open it and hide it.  My battery health is good and I can run this machine for hours unplugged while using web browser, video, citrix VDI sessions for work--with rarely a peep from the cooling fans unless it it's very hot in the house. &nbsp

Wondering if whoever develops these updates actually use the app??? Only been a few days but this is what i have found so far ... Issue 1:since the update when using the "folder" the heiracrchy starts at "Computer" now and you cant collapse it prior to "desktop". Issue 2:when using the "find" feature the "criteria" filed doesnt automatically highlight so you can type, you have to select your last search to enter the text  Issue 3:I cant always drag a folder in the "folders" heiracrchy to move them.
