Bridge only loads high quality previews

I've posted a few days ago regarding my Bridge 2020 taking forever to load previews. Seems like the reason it's taking forever is because the previews are HR. I tried switching to Preferred Embeded but it won't switch, even though it says its on Preferred Embeded I still see all the HR previews loading hence it takes forever to generate previews. Any help would be appreciated.

Tried all the obvious fixes, nothing is working. I'm on Win 10, 64GB Ram, Inter iCore7, 6GB Ram video

So far tried rolling back to Version 19 of Bridge and PS, same result.

Thanks

It should be noted that Bridge very slowly works with files, in principle, with any. Slowly reads data from files in the file system, writes slowly. It doesn’t depend on which media I use HDD or SSD. Even on a very fast SSD with a read / write speed of 1500/1500 MB / s, file operations occur at the same speed as with a slow SSD, which is 400/400 MB / s. And this is only slightly faster than operations with 150/150 MB / s HDD.
When can we wait for fast work with the MacOS file system? When can Brisge be as fast as Photo Mechanic?

When I want to preview images (by pushing spacebar) in Bridge, my screen gets crazy. It looks like my computer is going to explode.

Please repair this bug. I work on a MacbookPro with MacOX Catalina.

I can think of several things here, but see if you have this set on your Bridge's Preferences.

Let us know if this helps

I think PSY_Factor's issue is similar to mine. It doesn't matter how many raws are in a folder, there is no speed difference in loading "Preferred Embedded" or High Quality on Demand or Always High Quality previews. It just takes Bridges much longer to load previews now in the new Bridge than it did before. Nothing seems to help.

I have some low perfomance for Bridge 2020. I have MacOS Mojave, Xeon 3.5GHz / 24GB DDR3 and SSD Disk, but I see only High Quality previews.

Why has the new Camera Raw 12 become even slower? It became impossible to work at all. Due to 3 thousand raw + jpeg files in the folder that Bridge is trying to read, my computer freezes for 20-40 minutes. I have intel Xeon E3-1270 (4 cores 3.5GHz), 24GB DDR3 and Intel SSD disk for my MacOS X Mojave 10.14.6 system.

I am very upset because I was hoping to get a new Bridge and Camera Raw product that will be even more convenient and faster. However, I received only freezing programs and the inability to make a selection of even 1000 photos.

Hi PSY_Factor,

Wait, from within Bridge you've selected 1000 raw images and are trying to open them in ACR? Are you doing that because they all need the same level/kind of adjustment?

Forgive me but if that is in fact what you're trying to do, that's not a good use of your system and/or images.

Let me provide an alternate way to do the same thing that will not bring your system down on it's knees:

1) Select one image and make all of the adjustment you think are good sample corrections (as opposed to very specific corrections for that one image).

2) Close the image by clicking "Done."

3) In Bridge, click on that one image and press "Option/Command (or At/Control)-c"

4) Now, again in Bridge, select all of the other images and press "Option/Command (or At/Control)-v"

The adjustments will now filter through the rest of the images.

Hi there,

im struggling whit the same Workflow Destroying problem, but im on a Mac Book Pro 13" early 2015 running Mojave, i got this problem since Bridge 2019.

In my case installing Bridge 2018 worked perfectly fine.

Since the 2020 update i have the problem in every version of Bridge and i can not get it running normal again.

Funny side node:

I also working on a PC running Win10 64bit, there is no Problem at all whit the embedded previews and it is actually working really fast.

I tryed any suggested solution and i googled 2 full work days whit out any result, since 2018 worked perfectly fine i did not care anymore, but now im really f*cked.

Any new solution would be really, really helpful. I got work to do and i want to use my macbook again

Hello, IIRC, there is now a new size of monitor preview in 2020 to avoid having soft images when previewing them in fullscreen.

And I'm assuming there's no way to make the size small again, or whatever it was before? It's weird how long I have to wait for the previews to load now compared to before, I can't imagine how everyone who uses Bridge throughout the day, everyday, isn't hurting by this.

Hi there,

Sorry that Bridge 2020 is not loading embedded previews and only high quality previews are generated causing a performance lag.

Could you please restore the app preferences to default and let us know if that helps?

Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears.
Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

Thanks,

Akash

Hi Akash

I tried resetting, restarting, reinstalling and nothing works. Is there a Adobe Cleaner tool, maybe I have to wipe it completely and reinstall from scratch?
