Bridge

The Custom Metadata extension has been installed in Bridge.A photograph has been selected.It is possible to enter metadata in the standard Bridge metadata fields.However, none of the Custom Metadata fields will accept input.Nothing happens when typing into a Text field. The calendar appears when selecting a Date field, but picking a date has no effect. Drop down lists appear and are fully populated with their selections, but picking on an item in the drop down list has no effect. This occurs in both the “Pet Shop Example” and the “Out-Of-The-Box Example.”Bridge is Version 16.0.7.36It is running on a Windows 11 machine.  

I am a professional Photoshop user, and this is a serious production issue.Problem:When I open or send an image from Adobe Bridge to Photoshop, the entire Image → Adjustments menu is disabled. This means that essential commands such as Levels (⌘L) are no longer available.The problem is reproducible: Select an image in Adobe Bridge. Open/send the image to Photoshop. In Photoshop, Image → Adjustments is greyed out and unavailable. Close the document. Open the exact same file directly from Photoshop using File → Open. Image → Adjustments is immediately available again, including Levels (⌘L). This clearly suggests a problem in the Bridge → Photoshop workflow, rather than a problem with the document itself or with the Levels adjustment.For professional users, this is not a minor interface issue. Levels and the other commands under Image → Adjustments are fundamental Photoshop tools that have been part of professional workflows for decades. Having these commands silently disabled d

ZeroThe new version only works with windows 11 but my computer cannot do that.I am looking for a download  to continue with the older version but its nowhere to be found.Can anybody  tell me where or how to find the Bridge version that works with windows 10??Thanks!

In grid and thumbnail view it will only ever have photos in the top row and I have to scroll right and left to view them, this has only been happening recently and not sure what's happened. I've re-installed Bridge and this is still happening, please let me know if someone has resolved this!

It would be very helpful if the ability to select image “Orientation” within Bridge’s Smart Collection filter existed.  The default Bridge file filter has the ability to select Orientation, but not Smart Collection filters.  This would help automate selection activities by accurately sorting files into Landscape or Portrait orientation. The use of Width and Height within Smart Filter Collections is not efficient and error prone when filtering cropped images.

Hello,Adobe Bridge 16.0.7 removes AdobeXMPScript.dll, which is required for scripts to access metadata. Thus, this update has broken all scripts that access metadata.Adobe’s JavaScript Tools Guide specifically states to use this bit of code to load the XMP scripting API:if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');Running that code now produces this error:IOError: File or folder does not existVisiting C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge 2026 also shows that AdobeXMPScript.dll is gone.​Tested on Windows 11 25H2. I downgraded to 16.0.6, and AdobeXMPScript.dll reappeared and scripts started working again.

Hello!Why Bridge always shows document creation time different - one day later than Windows Explorer and OneDrive web app (website)?Thanks!

In Bridge opening images into CR, finished my edits in Photoshop and then saving into a jpg in the same file. In the middle of my session, the saved jpg are not longer showing Bridge. I did F5 to refresh but it did not change anything.

When I drag and drop files into a collection in Adobe Bridge, Bridge automatically switches to the collection view.For image selection and curation workflows, this interrupts the process because I have to manually navigate back to my original folder after each action.I would like an option to add files to a collection while remaining in the current folder view, for example:A preference setting: "Stay in current folder after adding to a collection" Or drag & drop behavior that does not automatically open the collectionThis would significantly improve efficiency when working with large image libraries and collections.Thank you for considering this enhancement.

When I right-click a .jpg file in Bridge there is no usable option provided by “open with”.  I have tried browsing to Windows Photos app, but it is hidden.  I have also tried changing the Preferences via Edit/Preferences but again Photos is not an option. The only way I can get what I want is by right-clicking the image in Bridge, selecting “Reveal in Explorer”, and selecting “Photos” from the menu provided.Can I not open the image in Photos directly from Bridge?

i mark all the files for keywords. i try to export to txt file. but it dont work. i use Adobe Bridge 16.0.7.36. in microsoft windows operating system.

Bridge ignores the new Light adjustment layer in PSD filesI have found what appears to be a compatibility issue between Photoshop's new Light adjustment layer and Adobe Bridge.Bridge version: 16.0.7.36Photoshop: Current version with the new Light adjustment layerWindows 11 Pro 25H2I edited a PSD in Photoshop and added a Light adjustment layer as the final tonal adjustment. In my case, the settings included approximately Exposure +0.39, Shadows +55, Highlights -13 and Whites +24.The image looks correct in Photoshop, but Bridge displays the PSD as if the Light adjustment layer does not exist. The difference is substantial, not just a small color-management difference.I was able to reproduce and isolate the problem:Open the layered PSD in Photoshop with the Light adjustment layer enabled. Save the PSD. View the PSD in Bridge. The effect of the Light adjustment layer is missing. Export the PSD to JPEG from Bridge. The exported JPEG also lacks the Light adjustment, so this is not only a Bri

Why can’t I update to Bridge 16.0.6 if my computer works perfectly well, simply because I don’t have Windows 11?Adobe is dropping support for Windows 10. I know it is an old operating system and that it now receives very few updates, but is it really necessary to exclude all the users who are still using it?Bridge is only the beginning. Next November, when the 2027 versions are released, what will happen if you don’t have Windows 11? Will we have to forget about continuing to use Bridge?The easy answer would be to buy a new computer, but is that really an option for everyone? The current prices of RAM, storage, and graphics cards are absolutely crazy, and sadly, they seem likely to keep going up.Wouldn’t it be possible for Adobe to continue supporting Windows 10 for a little longer, especially for applications like Bridge, which shouldn’t necessarily require the latest operating system technologies?

Hallo zusammen!In der letzten Bridge-Versionen 16.0.7.36 ist es nicht mehr möglich, einen Ordner nach Dateinamen zu durchsuchen. Ich habe sowohl in diversen Foren geguckt als auch Chat GPT befragt, aber der Fehler lässt sich nicht abstellen. Ich habe in der Bridge alle Caches geleert und bin alle Suchoptionen (Bridge-Suche/Windows Desktopsuche) durchgegangen-es ist keine Suche möglich. Auch die komplette Deinstallation und anschließende Neuinstallation der Bridge hat nichts gebracht. Ich verzweifele langsam, da ich das Tool dringend brauche. 

As of version 16.0.6.9, images in Bridge are still flickering when viewing in Preview Mode or in Slideshow. This renders the program completely unusable - this needs to be fixed now!

I love Adobe, but for the company to have released software like the latest version of Bridge is astounding. I will happily eat crow if the issues I’m having are mine alone, but as best I can determine, this program is now unusable. Apple M4 MBP - 128 GB - OS Sequoia 15.7.3 -  All I’ve ever needed to do w Bridge is drag a folder of images in and sort them via tags. Sometimes create a contact sheet - in and out, continue my productivity. Now, images seldom drag and drop. I often have to rename the folder they’re in to something like “To Upload”. I’m option-opening the software continuously to reset it and clear the cache. I’ve adjusted Performance an dFile Handling Preferences multiple times to adjust File Processing Size limits. I’ve disabled startup scripts multiple times.  If I get files loaded in through trial and error, the previews will go away if I apply a tag. I make my living with Adobe software. When things that used to work simply require multiple workarounds and spending mor

Drag from Adobe Bridge 16.0.7.36 to an open message in Apple Mail 16.0 does not work.  Only a ? icon is put in the message.  I can drag to desktop, then drag to mail without a problem.  I am using macOS Golden Gate 27.0.  This worked before macOS 27 update.

Hi, I keep getting a pop-up when I want to export a PDF file with pictures from Bridge. It wont export, I've tried different computers. Does anyone know what I can do about this.
