2024 Bridge for Culling - Errors

Report · Nov 27, 2023

Hi Adobe Community,

I have been using Bridge for the last 3-4 years to cull my images before opening in Lightroom/Ps. For some reason after my latest update, the culling process has been glitchy and once I mark my images as a '5 star' they don't mark and then I cannot filter them out. Please someone advise. Thank you!

Hi, @Melinda33896464ewpk, Are you giving the 5-stars by pressing the "5" key? If so, there was a change in the new Bridge where the default is that you have to press 5 + the Control/Command key. In previous versions of Bridge, there was a simple single box you could check in the preferences to press either the 5 or Command-5 keys. Now, you must go into the Keyboard Shortcuts settings (Edit (menu) -> Keyboard Shortcuts and do it there.

While I really welcome the whole Keyboard Shortcuts options, I think Adobe blew it for this one setting: before, one check box did it all, now you have to do it five times for ratings and four more times for color labels.
