Bridge CPU Usage

[stephenv70437356]

Hi,

I am wondering how I get Bridge to use the GPU more, rather than having it hammer my CPU.  At the moment, Bridge is causing my CPU to run at 100% for hours on end, but uses very little GPU resources.  I've set the Hardware Accelerator in Bridge and in Photoshop, but neither use the GPU as much as Google Chrome does.  Any suggestions?

My setup is as follows:

Gigabyte H370 Aorus Gaming 3 motherboard

Intel Core i7-8700K CPU watercooled

64 GB DDR4 2333mhz RAM

Galax GTX1070 8Gb DDR5 RAM GPU air cooled

Boot Drive 500GB mSATA SSD

OS is Windows 10 x64 Pro

Bridge CC2019 with RAW Cache on a separate WD HDD

Here's a screen shot to show what's going on.

I had a slowdown in Bridge, but I discovered that I must have turned on "Generate 100% Previews" by accident a few days ago.  I was getting 100% CPU and several minutes of dead time when I went to a folder I had not viewed recently.

Holy cow, I can't tell you how long I've been searching for a fix to Bridge eating up my CPU and making my MacBook Pro 16 sound like it's going to explode.  I work off of network server folders where all the images are stored and use Bridge to access, organize and edit.  I've always had 'Generate 100% Previews' unchecked and it never made any difference. After coming accross your suggestion I changed the Camera Raw Preferences to 128GB (it was defaulted to 5GB), and I have not heard my laptop fan rocketing off since.  Thanks!

This solved it for me!!! BLESS YOU!!! I also switched my thumnails to minimum quality, as I don't need to scrutinize detail in Bridge, I just use it to choose the best compositions before going to PS/RAW for edits and WOW. My laptop is no longer trying to kill itself. @Onlybrandino THANK YOU!!!

I finally pulled the plug on the Adobe C(asual) C(rap). I cancelled my subscription of the Creative Cloud Photographers Plan and will use my old CS6 Version, Affinity Photo and Corel Painter from here on.

I couldn't stand it anymore. I have been using Photoshop for 23 years now, but this subscription atrocity and the way this company behaves since the marketing took over is no longer bearable.

Just wanted to let you know that I did what I proclaimed earlier in this thread:)

Of course, CC will stay with me at work, because I have no influence over the software they give me, but for my freelance work, it's back to the last version that I feel comfortable with.

[Relosa1978rr]

Under "Options for thumbnail quality and preview generation" uncheck or deselect "Generate 100% Previews". This fixed it for me.

[Joey5E36]

So I just read through too much of this thread as a person that pays $600 a year for this software. Why is this happening? When will it be fixed?

[stephenv70437356]

Three versions later and this problem persists.  From reading through various sources on the Adobe website I gather that version 2019 incorporated changes in the way Bridge handles its Camera RAW Cache.  They did this to accommodate shared users if I read it correctly.  Since then however, the Bridge product has been nothing but a dog, running like treacle but consuming as much CPU processing power as it could get.  I and many other users have reported this and Adobe has done squat.  Each new version of Camera RAW behaves the same way.  Subscriptions still get paid and they do nothing for those paying.  As soon as a viable alternative appears, Adobe will experience what the owners of WordPerfect and Lotus1-2-3 did, and they'll deserve it.

[McGood]

Yes, you are right. It's really annoying.

[KevinMByers]

Unreal that this is still an issue, two and a half years on...

Hi @stephenv70437356 

Hope you're doing well. Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear about the issue.

Could you please share the following details w.r.t. the issue:

1. Bridge and Camera Raw version.

2. System Configuration.

3. Cache Configuration & Preview size, quality and generation settings.

4. Is the issue specific to particular files/format?

Please share the sample files on which you're observing the issue at sharewithbr@adobe.com

Thanks,

Bridge Team

3.   Cache (see attached JPG image)  Preview size is full screen resolution of 3840px x 2160px.  Quality is High. Not sure what you mean about generation settings.  Camera RAW Settings are shown in the attached jpeg file.
4.   The issue occurs mainly with RAW files.

Processing seems to have changed in the latest update though.  Now I can't Batch Rename my RAW files until after the cache has been constructed and written.  When it does Batch Rename it creates a whole set of duplicate files and then I often have to right click on them and purge the cache for it to remove the original un-renamed set.  The same delays occur when moving or copying files too.

This occurs with my 20mp Canon 7D Mk II CR2 files as well as my 30mp Canon 5DMkIV CR2 files. It has nothing to do with file size as it has no trouble generating previews of much, much larger PSD and PSB files.

I NEVER had this problem with CC2018.  My workflow takes much, much longer with later versions of CC and my hardware has not changed.

Cheers,

Steve

I posted a detailed response to your questions Anisha Gupta, but it seems to have disappeared.

I have used Bridge faithfully for years in preference to Lightroom.
However the latest Bridge release12.0.1 246  has a aserious BUG which sends the CPU in overdrive..
CPU use by Bridge is typically 95% which causes  Photoshop to behave irratically especially Adjustment Layers sliders which freeze.  I have tried Adobe suggestions from May 2020 to switch OFF Ruler and move the Adjustment Layer panel off the Photoshop panel. Neither worked.   I run i7   64 RAM  and previously old Bridge and Photoshop worked fast.
I have now returned to Lightroom Classic and sidelined Bridge until Adobe engineers apply a long overdue Fix to this Bug.
My Photoshop works percetly with Lightroom and NO Bridge.
Adobe need to address this issue quickly, I work with Photoshop / Bridge / ACR for a living.

Whatever the issue is, it appears that 1. most users are not affected and 2. Adobe hasn't been able to reproduce it.

I've used Bridge in production on multiple computers for the past eight years, both Mac and Windows, and have never seen this CPU loading happen. Bridge does have some serious problems but this in particular is not happening to everyone.

Why do we have no control over the background cpu use in the preferences? Are they spying on what is on our discs? I normaly work in one folder with maybe ten photo's. Why doing the recalculation of tousands of photo's? Maybe the virus program alters these photo's for security reasons or the backup system amters these photo's. Why can't we control to only renew previews in the working folder?
