Heic preview in Bridge

[Bongo163]

Hi.

Previews of HIEC files are blurry in Bridge.

Windows 10 machine, I have the Heif & Hevc extensions from the MS store installed.

The files open perfectly in photoshop and the windows photo viewer.

I have purged the cache several times.

Other types of files are clear in preview.

I've tried for hours to find a solution. I have tried on two separate windows 10 computers and get the same problem.

Any suggestions?

Same issue here on Mac Ventura. The crazy thing is that some of the HEIC images appear crisp while others remain blurry (as thumbnail and full screen preview). Clearing cache does nothing.

It appears that Adobe is not fully supporting HEIC images in Bridge on Windows. I have version 13.0.4.755 and Bridge uses a very low res preview even for 100% views. Bridge is useless for evaluationg HEIC images. Also, Bridge does not allow opening HEIC images in Camera Raw (15.5.1.1597). The File>Open in Camera Raw menu option is grayed out and not available for HEIC images.

Has Adobe acknowledged an issue with HEIC images using Bridge on Windows?

Reason why, for years now, I only shoot raw .dng with Lightroom camera on my iPhone. I loose space but I gain SO MUCH quality and flexibility 😉

I also cannot get HEIC files to preview in Bridge.

For example:

Some info:

Bridge version

Installed extensions

Windows version

Still no ideas why?

Still not fixed as of July 2024.Adobe treating Windows users as second rate customers.Not good enough .

Adobe Bridge 2025 now fully supports viewing HEIC images but the latest Bridge on Windows still can't open HEIC imges in Camera Raw. So HEIC is only partially supported in Bridge on Windows. HEIC is also unsupported for Quick Actions.
