Image Size in Adobe Bridge

Is there any way to see Image Size from within Bridge. I know that you can see it if you open the file in Photoshop, but I don't want to have to do that for each image just to see the image size. It is not an option to have it listed in the metadata as far as I can see. You can list resolution, file size and dimensions, but not image size. I want to use Bridge to upload images to Adobe Stock, but there is a 4MP minimum image size requirement. I have no way of finding the image size easily. (I could calculate it from the dimensions in pixels multiplied by the number of channels, I think, but I'm not exactly sure -- plus I don't want to have to do math!)

    Correct answer SuperMerlin

    Yes, SuperMerlin, you are correct, but that is way off topic. All I wanted to know was weather the Image Size value is listed anywhere within Bridge. Do you know? I'm guessing it's not since no one has jumped in and said so.


    No it isn't but a script can display that information for jpeg, other file types would be more difficult.

    You can request it to be added @ Photoshop Family Customer Community

    First of all, you really want to upload larger files than 4MP.

    Second, bit depth has NOTHING to do with image resolution (megapixels.) Megapixels is an area measurement, width x height.

    1633px x 2450px is the closest 2:3 ratio size for 4MP.

    Just do the math, a cheap desk calculator is a good friend.

    Came across this whilst trying to solve a similar problem. You can [kinda] do this in bridge.

    A 4 Megapixel image works out at about 2667 x 1500 (16/9 aspect ratio). Do a bridge search for images where width and/or height is greater than 2667 and you should [strange crops aside] get all of your images that are 4MP and above.

    You can also filter for file types to cut out any PDFs or other strays.

    Agreed, this is what I mentioned in my reply #5. The MP inspector panel is also helpful too.

    Unfortunately, that is file size, NOT image size. I need image size. File size (measured in MB) is the number of bytes the file uses on your hard drive. The image size (measured in megapixels) is the number of pixels in the image. You have this info in the image size dialog box in Photoshop but I find it nowhere in Bridge.

    My question was simply if there was a way to easily see the Image Size value from within Bridge. I need the same value listed in Photoshop as Image Size in the Image menu's Image Size dialog box (in "M", which is megapixels, not megabytes). Click on the Image menu in Photoshop, then select Image Size.... At the top of this dialog box is the number I want to see in Bridge. (This is the product of the dimensions in pixels and the number of channels (if 8 bits/channel; double it if 16 bits/channel.))

    After this lengthy discussion, your answer seems to be that no, this information is not provided within Bridge or if it is you don't know where to find it.

    Thanks for your complicated work-arounds, but I'm not interested in that. It is less complicated to simply open Photoshop.


    That is OK, just trying to help… Perhaps this will help somebody else more so than yourself.

    MP and MB are not the same thing, you keep referencing them interchangeably. Megapixel is millions of pixels, which is not the same thing as megabytes.

    MP Size = pixel width x pixel height / 1,000,000 (3168 x 4752px = 15,054,336 / 1,000,000 = 15.1MP rounded up). Image size is the opened/uncompressed size in memory, such as 43.1MB (3168 x 4752px x3 8-bpc channels).

    Adobe Stock known issues and limitations

    You might notice that the measurement listed adjacent to an image when you're previewing it is different from the file size of the image. For example, the image measurement might be 4 MP, while the file size is 785 KB. These are two different measurements. Megapixels (MP) describe the pixel dimensions of the image, and kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB) measure the size of the file.

    I don’t have the latest version, however in Photoshop CC2015.5, Image Size shows the uncompressed opened file size in MB – not the MP size (I am not aware of the MP value being indicated anywhere in Photoshop, however I could be wrong).

    • Minimum image resolution is 1,600 x 2,400 pixels (4 megapixels)

    It is possible to use the Find command or Smart Collections to easily filter out all images that are below these resolution values, however one would likely need two setups with the width and height values reversed to account for portrait or landscape versions (unless this was not a concern).
