Syncing creative cloud images in adobe bridge

Hi all, I am trying to sync the images I have saved in lightroom cloud into adobe bridge....it seems I can only import images into bridge from my computer or camera but not from the creative cloud? If I do import the images again from my camera, will they be duplicated in my cloud storage (and essentially take up twice as much space)? I want to be able to add keywords to my images and I'm worried that the images I already have saved in lightroom cloud will be missed?

 

thanks

Hi Mel,

 

Bridge can ONLY look at images that are on your computer. If you have a folder on your computer that LR Desktop automatically saves files to, Bridge can see those images if Bridge is "looking" at that folder. Bridge cannot see or access images that are in the clouds. In addition, Bridge cannot effectively and reliably deal with images on a server.

 

Also, one cannot "import" images into Bridge as Bridge is a browser with a bunch of tools and capabilities. Or, otherwise stated, you cannot import files into a folder, you can only place files into a folder and Bridge can look at the files in a folder.

 

You can import images into both LR Desktop and LR Classic because they keep a database of the files in their records. Bridge has no database nor any structure for importing into.

 

Yeah, it's complicated, I get that. I hope this makes sense to you.
