Dear Adobe Team,

I hope this message finds you well. As a long-time user of Adobe Bridge, I greatly appreciate the powerful tools it provides for organizing and managing digital assets. However, I wanted to suggest an enhancement that could further streamline the workflow for photographers and creative professionals: an AI-powered culling feature.

This feature could utilize artificial intelligence to automatically analyze and sort through large batches of images, identifying the best shots based on factors such as focus, composition, facial expressions, and lighting. This would be an invaluable addition for photographers, especially those who work with high volumes of images, such as wedding or event photographers.

With the increasing prevalence of AI in creative software, integrating such a feature into Adobe Bridge would align with Adobe’s reputation for innovation and commitment to improving user experience.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I would be happy to provide further insights or participate in any discussions regarding this feature.

Would love that too. There is an AI culling software named Narrative. Wish Bridge could do the same. No matter if I had to pay for an add on like it.

I may be a Luddite but I personally would not support such an innovation and would shy away from such as a matter of principle. On the face of it, it would negate the need for many valuable photographic skills on the part of the user!

Perhaps others would shoot me down over my comment.

Good luck.

Yeah, I agree with Erik. I have occasionally taken a shot that "has issues," and a quick glance causes me to reject it. One of the things I've learned is to go back to my immediately rejected photos a day later and reconsider them. More often than not, they remain rejected. But, there is occasionally a photo or two that, upon reconsidering, are definitely keepers.

 

Besides, being able to recognize "less good" photos is part of the process of becoming a better photographer.

 

Nonetheless, if you really think that this would be valuable for you, this is the wrong place to suggest it. Take your request and post it on https://adobebridge.uservoice.com/ 

 

Also, be aware that Bridge is just a viewer with no "intelligence" built in. That is, there's no place for AI to function. Thus, it would be akin to asking an old cash register from the 1800s to provide a tax form. So, it's not likely to happen regardless of the merit.

 

Sorry,
