Zoom in and out Flimstrip mode

The inability "Zoom to Fit" and any useful zooming ability for Bridge make me question decisions at Adobe. Again. 

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback.

You can try the Fullscreen/Slideshow mode in Bridge for zoom functionality.

Steps. 

1. Go to View menu

2. Select Fullscreen

3. Click on the image to zoom-in or use the +/- key on the keyboard. 

I hope this will help with your use case. Please let us know for any further feedback.  

Regards,
Bridge Team

Thanks for clarifying.

Photoshop is not as suitable as Bridge though, since you can see everything in Bridge, and it's much easier to navigate to the next document. The metadata is available as a sidebar rather than having to look for it in a menu. Only issue was the zoom.

I will try Lightroom Classic.

"I think I have tried Photoshop but this can't edit metadata."

Actually, you can edit metadata in Photoshop via File > File Info. You would want to zoom in to the necessary level in your image first because that opens a dialog that prevents you from doing anything else to the image while open, but you can resize and reposition the dialog. You could still use Bridge to navigate through the image thumbnails, and as long as Photoshop is set as your system's default editor for images, you can double-click the thumbnail to open in Photoshop.

Adobe Camera Raw is essentially a plug-in that works in both Bridge and Photoshop to perform image editing, but it doesn't allow metadata editing.

I haven't used it in quite a while, but I believe Lightroom Classic can zoom in up to 1600% and allow you to edit the metadata at the same time.

Yes, I do know where to edit the metadata.

What I'm trying to say is that I need to zoom in and out to read the title of the document and edit at the same time as I can see it. So far Adobe Bridge has been the most suitable except that I can't zoom into the extents required.

I have a lot of documents to process.

Test

Bridge has no actuall zoom capability other than the Loupe that you've already found. In fact, it cannot zoom in any more than 100% so if you have a low resolution image, that's it.

If you see an image that you wish to zoom into, you can do that either in Photoshop and/or Adobe Camera Raw.
