iMac with Mojave 10.14.2 - will Adobe bridge CS4 work with Elements 19?

    The official answer is no however being that Bridge doesn't ship with Elements, I'm assuming you already have it? If that's the case it's currently working, then I'd say yes it will work because Bridge doesn't interact directly with Photoshop Elements but instead just manages files on your computer. Any changes made to those files should be reflected in Photoshop Elements except moving of files to a different location.

    All that being said, I'm curious why you're using Bridge when Photoshop Elements ships with the Elements Organizer. Unless you're doing something very unique, you should be able to accomplish most tasks performed in Bridge, within the Elements Organizer.

    The first idea is to download the free trial of PSE2019 (free for 30 days) and to test on your own config.

    If I remember well, Bridge was only bundled with the PSE8 Mac version.

    I only have the current Bridge CC version and it works well with PSE2019 on my Win 10 PC, even if I only use the organizer for my own needs.

    Brigde is free.

    There has been a discussion about this:

    I am pretty sure that William already has the CS4 version, but he could install the Creative Cloud without subscribing to be able to use it with PSE219. One advantage would be that Bridge can use the ACR version 11.1 included in PSE2019.
