Question

What about custom profiles??

For many, many years I start every shoot with a color checker that I then use to create a custom color profile. I then copy that profile (and other changes) using the "Develop settings" copy tool, and then "Paste settings" to all the photos in that group.  Simple.  Except with the 2024 version of Bridge, the option to include the profile with the other settings is grayed-out.  So . . . I am forced to quit 2024 and open 2023, copy and paste the profile, then go back to 2024, because if I stay in 2023 and finish processing and try to use the image processor to create output files I get a message to install the most recent version of PS.  So . . . I have to go back to the 2024 version anyway.  Interestingly, if I make a change now to the settings to a photo in the 2024 version, the profile is no longer grayed out.  Between this and several other posts about Bridge issues, it seems every aspect of my workflow has been destroyed.  ADOBE, PLEASE fix this and the other things that are broken.  It worked before.  This is exhausting and does not build good will that you once enjoyed.

    Sorry - not sure what you want for system information. I use Bridge on both a Windows 10 PC and a MacBook Pro M1 when I travel.   I have fewer problems with the Mac, but the output template problem (discussed in another thread) exists on both platforms.  While I use color management on my MacBook, I typically only need to apply custom color profiles on work I am doing on the PC.  I can test on my Mac, but I have too much to do right now to devote any more time to this problem - at least for now.  I return from a trip on December 18, so hope to continue this discussion then.

    Additional on this - today I had five jobs.  Five times that I had to go back to an earlier version of Bridge in oder to apply settings, then back to the most current version so I can output.  This is crazy.  AND, someone decided to move the most commonly used edits, which in my case are light adjustments, color balance, and clarity - all moved out of the first panel so now I have to open three panels.  Are you getting input from your users when you make these kinds of changes??
