Question

Label Colours in Adobe Bridge

Hello everyone

 

This is probably a simple easy fix however I cant find it, and I really hope someone can help....

 

Mac user

 

My recent PS had to be reinstalled  (corrupt Mac update) ..

 

Using Bridge I was able to press 6 on the image and it went to red, 7 yellow, 8 green etc..  however with the re-install I am having to use the command key and then pressing the relevant number to chance the colour for the label. 

 

I have searched and spent hours looking for the information to resolve this to no avail.... 

 

Can anyone help what I need to do to make it just one key?  - as it stands I have command & relevant number to change it,  I know it sound petty but its quite annoying.

 

Thank you for your attention 

 

Regards

 

Dave

    @gary_sc has a very cool trick for changing the shortcuts to just the number in this post:
