Question

new version doesn't seem to offer loading multiple files into Photoshop layers

In the 10.1.1.166 version of Bridge, I went to load multiple files into Photoshop layers the way I have in the past with Tools > Photoshop > Load files into Photoshop layers.  The new version of Bridge doesn't appear to allow me to do that anymore. Please help me with how to load several files from Bridge into Photoshop layers.

Have you found an answer to this as I have the same problem? It was a tool I used daily to load images quickly in order to create my own HDR images. It no longer shows as an option yet it was simple to use and worked perfectly. I see people offering a long way around via "stacks" to get to the same result but they are time consuming. We need this back please Adobe! Why it was removed is beyond me....(my current work-around is "dragging and dropping" images on top of each other...far from the simple, now missing - Tools > Photoshop > Load files into Photoshop layers)

Can you clear your Bridge preferences or un-install Bridge and PS and start over.?

Make sure you installed Bridge and then installed the correct version of PS? You have to install the programs in that order.

You can't mix and match.

It works here on all my machines.

    FIXED!!!!!!! Thank you so much for me making me look! I had two versions of Bridge on my CC account (not sure why that would be the case). Anyhow, I uninstalled the older version. Now left with Bridge 2021 11.0.0.83 and it works with the full "Tools" list visible now!! Many, many thanks. No more mix n match...

    Long Live "Tools > Photoshop > Load files into Photoshop layers".

    Works here.

    You on Windows or Mac?

    You cannot load smart objects.

    Try clearing your Bridge preferences.
