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

Hi Roland,

About the only place for folks to send messages directly to the Adobe Bridge team is via User Voice (https://adobebridge.uservoice.com). I know that they see that.

If you go there, search for M1 support on Bridge. You are not the first person to be anxious about such support, so there will be others that have already commented. I'm guessing that it's better to add a voice to one request than to create a new one that disperses the requests for the same thing.

The sad thing is that I know the Bridge team is not large (how "not large," I have no idea). But there are so many issues that Bridge has right now, PLUS the time necessary to create the M1 build, plus add all of the wishes and feature requests that folks have asked for for the past 15 years, that it's sort of like trying to put a fire out with one small bucket: anything you do helps but it may take a long time.
