Bridge

Hi there, I was re-organizing an old bunch of photos under LrC and Br (respectively 2026 versions) and I noted one thing: the EXIF value for color “mode” under Bridge is: RGB  (under LrC → Metadata Panel → Exif section I wasn’t even able to see this value!!! Why?) Now I’m pretty sure that at that time my camera’s color space was set to AdobeRGB and if I open this image with the MacOS preview and then I go to the the its inspector (cmd+i) what I got is that: in the General tab the “colour mode” is RGB (as in Bridge) but in Picture Style tab I got “AdobeRGB, 2, 2” under picture Style Colour Spaceso, somehow, the information about which colour space was set on the camera for shooting this picture is correctly reported. Now the question is simple: how come that Bridge doesn’t report it correctly? and is there way to correctly have the color space in EXIF data under Adobe apps? 

We're happy to announce the Public release of Adobe Bridge 16.0.3 This March 2026 release of Adobe Bridge includes security fixes. Note: As always, the update will be rolled out incrementally. If you do not see the update in the Creative Cloud Desktop app, please wait until we roll out the public update to all users. To update Bridge to 16.0.3, click "Update" in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Bridge. More detailed instructions for updating

I believe I used to be able to do this in the past, but now as I’m trying to batch export files into larger images, the dropdown is greyed out, and I can’t select it. This has been particularly inconvenient because I’m trying to export a batch of pixel art into larger images, which requires the resample method to be “nearest neighbor”. I have tried a lot of different file types and it seems the dropdown only becomes available if I use “Scale Image” for a smaller size. 

Have been able to add keywords and change capture time in Bridge (all versions) up until recently. However, created a few with Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra this month. None of these are able to be edited by Bridge - tried all versions, including the latest beta. The videos were taken in H.264 format.Current version Bridge is 16.0.2.23Is there anything else I can do?

Attached are two screenshots. One shows the command to try to rename one image. The second shows the “result” -- a blank file that cannon be opened.

how does one import CSV file metadata into Adobe Bridge selected images?(thus speeding up AI keywording process)

Yesterday I reported SVG files getting corrupted by Bridge, when they’re getting ranked or labelled. Well, WEBp files also are corrupted by the same cause. The transparency is ignored and a ‘striped’ pattern (a continuation of the intended masked image edges) fills the gaps.It seems to me that when Bridge adds or edits some (meta) data, the files gets corrupted.In case of SVG files, strict apps like Figma don’t like the taste of it anymore, and refuse to import it.In case of WEBp-files with transparency, the mask is destroyed. I didn’t notice it until I opened the WebP file back into Photoshop and saw what happened. (Bridge created and kept its correct-looking preview before I used ranking or labelling.) 

With my old laptop I could rate pictures in Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) mode, then I could see the rating in the lower left corner. But with my new Mac Book Air, I can only rate in the list of the file names. It doesn’t work in Full Screen or Review Mode anymore. How can I fix this?

**Issue**: In Adobe Bridge 2026 (version 16.0.2.23), HEIC files (iPhone photos, identical auto-numbering) display perfectly (thumbnails + preview) in some folders, but completely fail (no thumbnails OR preview) in other folders on the same internal drive. Windows Explorer and Photos app read ALL HEIC files without issue.**Configuration**:- Windows 11 25H2 (latest)- Extensions installed: HEIF Image Extension (1.0.51005.0) + HEVC Video Extension (free device manufacturer 3.0.8.564 + paid version tested then removed)- Bridge fully reset (Ctrl+Alt+Shift), cache purged multiple times (all, per folder, per selection)- Preferences adjusted: Max file size 5000MB, cache 100GB, high quality- Files local on internal drive (not OneDrive/NAS), simple names no accents/special chars- Tested: Refresh (F5), move folders, antivirus disabled**Steps tried (all failed)**:- Uninstall/reinstall HEIF/HEVC (PowerShell for invisible HEIF)- Full Bridge reset- Increase cache/thumbnail limits- Purge + F5 per folde

Duplicate Collections do not preserve custom sort of the original. Tried every suggestion - drag and drop, "pre-set" manual, duplicate file in finder. Each method scrambles the sequence in the new collection. I do not want to rename the files in the original collection. Working with Bridge 2026, Mac OS 26.2.  Is this a hopeless pursuit?

I ran out of disk space on an external hard disk, so I moved a large folder of photographs to a different external disk. Now photographs that were in the original place are lost in an important bridge collection. I can relocate them one by one in Bridge using the “Fix” dialog, but there are hundreds to fix. Question 1: Is there any way to to point Bridge to the new location of the folder and tell it to fix all pointers to photographs in that folder? Question 2: I am solving my storage problem by buying new larger disks. How can I avoid the same problem when I move all photographs to a new disk? Thanks,Phil

I am a paid subscriber and I use Adobe 11 2021 Bridge and Photoshop for WindowsI am looking for the Adobe Bridge 11.1.1 installer I contacted Adobe but they said they don’t have it.I don’t like updated versions of Bridge / RAW because this versions works best for me.I had to update my computer because of windows 10 to windows 11 and I had the previous installer of Bridge. I need 11.1.1 so that I can be on the final update of 11 that had less bugs.If anyone can help me with the Installer for Adobe bridge 11.1.1 for Windows It will be appreicatred.Thank you

When I’m dragging or simply importing SVG files to Figma, I noticed that when I have ranked or labelled or otherwise ‘touched’ an SVG file, I can’t use it anymore in Figma. And the W3C Validator also reports some errors.Here’s one example (057 AIL icon 2026), which I could easily drag from Bridge or import as a file in Figma. But after labelling it (which changes and saves some metadata), Figma can’t import it anymore. (Copying and pasting the artwork still works.)BTW, it doesn't always happen ! The file (svg-4.svg) got a label from Bridge, but Figma accepts this one as normally.

Starting a few days ago, having selected an image to edit in ACR I found that choosing the Brush Tool produced an error message: “Bridge has encountered a problem and has to close.” I reported this but have received no advice by email. I deleted Bridge and re-installed: same problem occurs. I’ve cleared the cache: made no difference. I’ve updated PS & ACR: no difference.Having re-subscribed to Adobe CC only recently I am disenchanted with this persistent fault and zero contact from Adobe.

The entire thumbnail does not shift, however with a mixture of bitmap objects plus overlay art, the bitmap objects are shifted out of place or shifted out of the thumbnail entirely. The overlay elements remain in place. The images (jpgs) in Illustrator are linked. Also the images are larger than the artboard initially and resized. There is only one artboard. This only seems to affect image objects in Illustrator. The vector objects seem unaffected.FYI, my Illustrator files begin as pre-built .ai files containing pre-existing guides, artboard, and many objects that I frequently use as overlays. So, outside the artboard are dozens of my objects that I use as needed.  In Windows Explorer previews and the Illustrator welcome page, all objects inside and outside the artboard appear in the thumbnail, correctly positioned.In Bridge, only the artboard contents appear in thumbnails, but images are missing or shifted in the thumbnail.Attached images are from thumbnails in Bridge -One is the .png

Every time I try to batch rename files in Adobe Bridge 15.1.1.729 Bridge freezes when it reaches ca. 10%Sometimes I want to change the following order of my pictures, so I give a picture which has a name and number already a number of the pictures which it should follow with suffix 'b'.When I want to rename the series of pictures, Bridge freezes and when I stop the action and stop and start Bridge again. The renumbered pictures are at the end of the row, with "temp1" at the end of the name. Then I try the action again, and then it works.I had online help from Adobe 2 times. They installed Adobe Bridge again and that helps, but only for 1 or 2 times using the batch rename function, then the problem starts again.My numbering looks like this: 5809_ESP_Provincia-de-Salamanca_La-Alberca So when I change the number, I put "b" after the number of the picture that should be first to this one, as i.e. 5782b_ESP_Provincia-de-Salamanca_La-Alberca, and then I rename the pictures unt

Working with LOT of images. Editing events. It's the M O S T  D R E A D E D  part of my photo life, because I edit in Bridge aka the slowest editing software on the planet Earth and beyond. Creating previews - takes forever. Getting 100% preview sharpness - takes forever. Exporting using Image Processor - IS. THE. SLOWEST. PROCESS... yeah you guessed it.. On planet Earth and beyond. I think I see my plants growing while waiting for Image processor to render from Raw to JPEG. Will make another post about that too. THIS TIME:I'm looking at 300 images at this moment. I want to scroll down, up, doesn't matter. I grab the scrolling bar, move it down and... the show started... Everything becomes unresponsive, meaning, I cannot stop it, I cannot click anything because - the scroll bar keeps on scrolling. It just scrolls... one screen down, two, three, four, and keeeeeps on scrolling. My options - take a 3 hour break, which I cannot because I AM PAID to edit the images. Or

When I have a folder with images that I want to open in Bridge, I used to be able to drag and drop the folder on the Bridge icon in the dock. This would launch Bridge and open to show all the images in that folder. This no longer works. Instead I have to launch Bridge, navigate to my external drive and then browse down until I get to the folder I want.I have a Mac computer running Ventura MacOS version 13.2.1. My Bridge version is 13.0.3. I have granted Bridge Full Disk Access in System Settings Privacy and Security.Does anyone know how I can get back to dragging and dropping folders onto Bridge?
