The current version of Bridge still is natively Intel compiled and not available as native M1 resp. M2 aka Apple Silicon version. Does someone know, when we will get a M1 resp. M2 version no longer using Rosetta 2?

Thanks for feedback and help,

Roland

Bridge is now Apple Silicon native as of the Bridge 2023 release this morning (no longer beta).

 

 

It’ s probably worded wrong…it says M1 support, but there is so little difference between M1 and M2 that Bridge is likely to run fine on M2 too. They probably mean Apple Silicon support, not just M1.

Of of Jan 30, 2023, Bridge works on the new M2 Macbook Pro  BUT  it disables GPU support.  Waiting for Adobe to support the GPU.

Photodownloader in Bridge running the M2Pro chip does not work at all.

    The answer is NOW... for a beta version: https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/an-update-for-the-adobe-bridge-beta-is-now-available/td-p/13251390

    And remember that Adobe Max is around the corner...

    #1) The vast majority of folks here do NOT work for Adobe. We do this because we like helping folks. So we do not know.

     

    #2) Adobe has been very good over many many years of not divulging any upcoming or updated projects. Yes, over the years there have been leeks, but very very few.

     

    #3) Yes, of course, there will be an update to be M# native but when? Anyone who does know that is not currently talking. 

     

    Now you know as much as anyone here does.

      Hi Gary

       

      First of all thanks for your reply.

       

      I couldn't find any other channel to ask.

       

      The Adobe feedback system is super inconvenient and I have nor the time neither I'm keen of to wasting my time by searching the correct feedback channel in the maze of the Adobe pages. Honestly, it's a catastrophe how Adobe does everything to avoid customer feedback. As soon Serif releases a DAM replacing LrC, I'm done with Adobe.

       

      I really would appreciate if you could show me an appropriate channel to reach out to Adobe directly.

       

      Cheers, Roland

      Thanks Gary, will do so. Why do I not know all those links like the one you suggested?

      Besides: for professional purposes, Bridge is a must have. The possibility to simply copy and paste all edits stored into the sidecar files instead of a database makes file handling and forwarding so much easier.

      What I never will understand: why are the color lables of Bridge and LrC not equal?


      Hi Roland,

       

      Because you commented on one small issue with LRC, perhaps you do not know that in LRC you can either have it store all edits in the catalog OR, also place the sidecar file(s) into the folder containing the images. If you convert your images to DNG (as I do), the sidecar files are contained within the DNG. Otherwise, they will simply be sidecar files. 

       

      This gives you both of the best worlds: you maintain the history in LRC to go back to any previous iteration, AND in the event of a catalog collapse, you still have all of the edits for all of your images. What you lose is the history of each image's edits. A small price to pay for not losing the results the end result of all your work. Plus, since they are sidecar/contained files, they still have not permanently changed the pixels (even in JPG images).

       

      Anyhow, if you were unaware of that aspect of LRC, I thought I'd share that with you. 

       

      Best,
