Questions

As per object. I find Adobe Bridge so good that I use it as my standard file explorer. When I'm not working with pictures I don't need to show columns like Keywords, rating and so on. It would be great to me to create a specific Workspace where I have just few columns in order to speed up the usability. At the moment I can't do that. Any help to get what I need.  Thanx.

Cannot change properties in the basic metadata fields.  No matter how many times I edit the metadata template, the copyright notice in the “basic” section remains permanent as 2018.  Bridge 13.0.3.693Using Macbook pro 13.3.1  

Unable using the preview panel to see any photo files or any files.  I have tried everything suggested on this board except to uninstall CCPS and reinstall. 

hoi als ik mijn fotos van de camera naar de foto downloader in bridge laad krijg ik de fotos dubbel

I used Topaz Photo AI to process 30 tifs using the standalone version.  I was then going to use my saved action that adds a watermark and copyright and make a jpg., and it stopped before saving and offered a PSD.  I tried to save instead as JPG and this was not a choice, only jpeg2000. I decided to use save as on the tiff before the actions, and zip file was highlighted, something I never use, and saved as LZW as I have always for decades.  But it made no difference, so I saved as the jpf.  This shows in Bridge but when I go to load for a site such as Bugguide, it shows an empty box, so is useless.  Saving with no compression and trying again doesn't work either, so what kind of tiff can this be that can't be saved as a jpg?Still waiting for topaz response.

Ability to choose more metadata / exif / tiff tags to display in bridge Using other software like online metadata2go, i can see that my Nikon camera records lots of extra data points in the metadata, about the camera status.Specifically just one called external_flash_status, however in adobe bridge we only have one setting EXIF Flash and it only shows 4 variables that don't actually reflect the correct flash settings in camera.  ?How can i add more information to display from the Camera Data exif panel or search meta options?My goal would be to filter images byexternal_flash_status = Flash Attached (flash did fire correctly)external_flash_status = Flash Not Attached (flash did not fire correctly) 

Why does Bridge ask me to manually delete the cache, when I have activated the option for automatic deletion of the cache? Consider that the banner appears at least once per session with Bridge. Sometimes even multiple times during the same afternoon. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.     

I'm using Bridge to add metadata to scanned photos. But the Edit Capture Time does not have time zone selection. Without it Bridge defaults to user's computer operating system's time zone. This then appears in the xmp, for example as <exif:DateTimeOriginal>1971-07-01T00:00+10:00</exif:DateTimeOriginal>. The problem is that is the wrong time zone for my scanned photos. In this instance I want +01:00, not +10:00.First issue is Bridge doesn't show the offset in the Date Time Original metadata field, so the user doesn't realise there's a problem. Then when I import the files with this incorrect time zone from Bridge into Apple Photos it sorts the date/time incorrectly.Apple Photos has time zone support for changing date & time, but I'd prefer to use Bridge to enter metadata. So my work-around for now is to change my computer's operating system time zone to match the one in the photos I need to alter, then return my OS time zone to my actual time zone when I finish

I'm having trouble entering some keywords. Sometimes both come in and sometimes only the currently added one. What am I doing wrong.Mackaktus

 I can't edit/finish this smart collection because the UI won't stretch propertly with added criteria. 

PLEASE.My computer runs in Ventura 13.4I cannot see the thumbnails video mp4 on Bridge 2023 library.Any suggestion?

I've read many posts about metadata on these forums but no concise answer.  Why is the metadata held in the file not displayed or imported in the corresponding fields in Bridge?  I can see the data held in the files with many other applications but not in Bridge.  What's the deal? I'm using the latest version of Bridge and the files in question are JPGs. TIA

Hi. I'm sure this is simple and I've pressed some silly button but my Quicksearch (magnifying glass) icon and search box have disappeared from the top menu bars.  Any help appreciated?

I can't go backwards from my present folder to the one I opened before with the mouse back button. This was not a problem with Bridge 12.  

Hi, I am fairly new to Bridge scripting and look for some pointersa) can I hide specific files from the images panel (specifically backup files named like original-001.ai)b) is it possible to call a script when a file is deleted or moved (by dragging to a folder or via the move dialogue). The intention is to delete said backup files on a delete or to offer to move or delete them when the original is moved

This is new, and I think is a bug: when resetting my workspace, it ALSO goes back to the folder that was open when the workspace was being set. That's nuts. IF this is a new "feature," at the very least, please allow this to be an option, like previous versions of bridge had the option of "save sort order with workspace." There needs to be an option for "save folder with workspace." Neither option seems to exist anyore...or am I missing something? See attached video.

Hi there-  My Bridge (CC 2023) appearance suddenly changed (I'm sure I pushed something) and I wanted it back to the original display. I tried several suggestions and eventually just reset to default settings by holding the option key will opening Bridge and now all of my photos are gone. Any idea where they are and how I can recover them?  HELP!!!Thank you!

Macbook Pro 2020Ventura 13.4.1 Bridge cc 13.0.3 (up to date) 2023. I checked the preferences on the computer (allow full access to disk and files/folders), did the reset as suggested (Command, Option, Shift), reinstalled Bridge, clicked restore under theView tab - no thumbnails.  The folders are all listed on the side - same as they are listed in finder - but when I click on them, there are no files/photos and no thumbnails. (see below)The files are still on the computer and I can "open with photoshop" to access any of them from finder.  A quick note - I save photos/files to my computer, not to the cloud. A couple of peculiarities:  The thumbnail option under the View tab is greyed out (see below), and I cannot move a jpg from my desk top into Bridge (I get the circle with slash prohibiting the action).  Normally I can just drop it in. I'm at a loss.

For the life of me I can´t figure this out. Can anyone tell me how this is supposed to be done.Let´s say I am comparing two or more photos in light table or preview mode. When I click each one on the light table, the stars under the photo get brighter indicating that this photo is selected. How ever, if I want to rate this photo or say give it a yellow color, that star rating or the yellow tag comes to all of the chosen photos.Is there any way to give the rating just for one photo?It´s quite difficult to go and choose that photo separately from the library, because the light table shows the photos in the order that they were chosen. So the first photo on the light table isn´t always the first photo in the library. And anyways, doing that is just clicks that shouldn´t be needed. Why can´t I just compare the photos in a light table view and click the one that I want (as I said, it gets brighter, indicating that it is active/chosen) and the give a star rating and/or a color to that p

Hello,I have installed Bridge on a Desktop PC with Windows 11 Pro (Version 10.0.22621) and ATI Radeon HD 6450 Graphics.When starting Bridge, it shows an empty error message and after confirmation, there is no reaction in Bridge.Task Manager shows status "inactive" for Bridge. Bridge is installed in Version 13.0.2I have uninstalled and reinstalled through Creative Cloud.I have even tried Bridge Beta version but with no effects - same issue. Is there a way to at least debug the error message in order to know what the issue is?Thanks in advance

I adjust a NEF file in Camera RAW in Bridge, and instead of hitting "SAVE" I hit "OPEN" and nothing happens. .  it is supposed to open the file in Photoshop. .  so my workaround is to save the file then open in Photoshop. . can anyone suggest why "OPEN" may not work?

creating a contact sheet in bridge takes too long. After more than an hour, the progress is the same. I have about 1k shots that I want to export as a contact sheet. I tried to reduce the quality in the export setting, but it works only with the lowest resolution, which is unacceptable to me. I am using MacBook pro M1   

Minor issue when opening file in Camera Raw from Bridge:- Double Click image in Bridge launches Camera Raw with dark (default) interface color, possibly other changed settings?- Comm-O, or drag image to PS icon launches Camera Raw with my custom interface color.Not really important what the Camera Raw interface is, and either way it is still the current update for Camera Raw 15.4.0.1508But I do wonder if there are any other settings differences with the iterations of Camera raw, and why they would differ due to the launch command.This is not a new issue, but persists with recent PS/CR updates. Double click file in Bridge summons this Camera Raw Interface (possible other settings?)  Command-O, or drag file to PS icon results in this Camera Raw interface color
