Bridge

Currently using Bridge 2026, but have Bridge 2020 in my Apps list (Windows 11). Try to uninstall 2020 but get the message ‘Specified product is not installed on this machine.’ Suggestion has been made to reinstall Bridge 2020 to correct any problems and then try to uninstall it. However, cannot find a Bridge 2020 installation file!

Adobe Bridge 15.0.3.525  Windows 11 Pro. Laptop Dell G16 I9 64gb of memory, 4TB SSD. Every 5 minutes or so Bridge freezes while I am working with it displaying “Not Responsive” in the title bar for maybe 30 seconds or so without any other error. Regardless how many photos are in the folder. Then it unfreezes like nothing ever happened. It happened with most previous versions too.  Thanks.  

Hi there, I was re-organizing an old bunch of photos under LrC and Br (respectively 2026 versions) and I noted one thing: the EXIF value for color “mode” under Bridge is: RGB  (under LrC → Metadata Panel → Exif section I wasn’t even able to see this value!!! Why?) Now I’m pretty sure that at that time my camera’s color space was set to AdobeRGB and if I open this image with the MacOS preview and then I go to the the its inspector (cmd+i) what I got is that: in the General tab the “colour mode” is RGB (as in Bridge) but in Picture Style tab I got “AdobeRGB, 2, 2” under picture Style Colour Spaceso, somehow, the information about which colour space was set on the camera for shooting this picture is correctly reported. Now the question is simple: how come that Bridge doesn’t report it correctly? and is there way to correctly have the color space in EXIF data under Adobe apps? 

Using windows 11 and latest vesrions of Photoshop and bridge. When I start an export of workflow bridge stops and shows error.When I click the error window  Bridge asks me if I am sure I want to quit. Quitting bridge will stop all the background processes it says. The problems started to appear after I updated to the latest version. I tried different versions but all versions work after deleting and reinstalling it until....I restart my computer. After restarting the export and workflow stop working. It will give the same error again. Meanwhile it will process one photo in the workflow. Which includes making a new folder and saving a new file there. After that one photo it gives the error window.When I say they stop working I mean that they make one new folder with one image processed in it and then give me the error window. But when I try the same workflow again just nothing happens at all.So far it seems that other things work like batch. One clue, that I don't understand, is that wh

I have a 250 frame sequence currently named, 0001.png - 0251.png I am trying to use batch rename to change naming to  >>»   Frame1 (100 ms) - Frame251 (100 ms) However, Bridge is not iterating the sequence number at all upon execution. The preview shows the desired name change but it will not actually complete the desired operation. It will operate as expected if I choose 4-digit frame padding in the sequencing option, but I need THIS specific naming convention. It would seem to me if the preview can properly iterate, then SURELY this expensive software should be able to complete the action to the same specification. Please fix. See images: 

My last Windows 10 desktop gave up the ghost rather suddenly, and I moved to a Windows 11 HP desktop replacement.  Of course I had to re-install my favourite programmes and in the process the file “Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml” from my old system was overwritten by a new file with just a few American  suggestions for Keywords (eg: Places/New York, Events/Thanksgiving etc.)  appearing on Bridge when I opened it.  I kick myself for not making a better System Backup.Today I started the job of giving my photos Keywords again by creating the beginning of a Keyword tree in the Keywords panel. My new Keyword list appeared in the Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml file.  Before linking the photos to the Keywords I  opened a folder dated 2004 in Bridge and found that the Keyword Panel was populated with the original Keywords that applied to these photos, although all in Italic Text .  This was a surprise to me as I had thought the keyword designations for these photos had been lost when the “Adobe Bridge K

Op het moment dat ik Bridge start (versie 16.0.3.21) en foto's selecteer om er trefwoorden bij te plaatsen of te wijzigen krijg ik na een paar keer selecteren en wijzigen van trefwoorden de volgende foutmelding: tr1::bad_weak_ptr Ik kan dan nog wel doorgaan, maar kan geen tekst kopiëren  en plakken. Dus moet ik weer opnieuw beginnen met Bridge opstarten om vervolgens na een paar keer weer deze melding te krijgen.ik heb een laptop Z-book met een Ultra 9 processor, een videokaart NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell en 64 GB Ram. Ik zie geen vergelijkbare bugs. Wat nu te doen? Alvast dank

I believe I used to be able to do this in the past, but now as I’m trying to batch export files into larger images, the dropdown is greyed out, and I can’t select it. This has been particularly inconvenient because I’m trying to export a batch of pixel art into larger images, which requires the resample method to be “nearest neighbor”. I have tried a lot of different file types and it seems the dropdown only becomes available if I use “Scale Image” for a smaller size. 

Have been able to add keywords and change capture time in Bridge (all versions) up until recently. However, created a few with Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra this month. None of these are able to be edited by Bridge - tried all versions, including the latest beta. The videos were taken in H.264 format.Current version Bridge is 16.0.2.23Is there anything else I can do?

Attached are two screenshots. One shows the command to try to rename one image. The second shows the “result” -- a blank file that cannon be opened.

how does one import CSV file metadata into Adobe Bridge selected images?(thus speeding up AI keywording process)

Yesterday I reported SVG files getting corrupted by Bridge, when they’re getting ranked or labelled. Well, WEBp files also are corrupted by the same cause. The transparency is ignored and a ‘striped’ pattern (a continuation of the intended masked image edges) fills the gaps.It seems to me that when Bridge adds or edits some (meta) data, the files gets corrupted.In case of SVG files, strict apps like Figma don’t like the taste of it anymore, and refuse to import it.In case of WEBp-files with transparency, the mask is destroyed. I didn’t notice it until I opened the WebP file back into Photoshop and saw what happened. (Bridge created and kept its correct-looking preview before I used ranking or labelling.) 

With my old laptop I could rate pictures in Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) mode, then I could see the rating in the lower left corner. But with my new Mac Book Air, I can only rate in the list of the file names. It doesn’t work in Full Screen or Review Mode anymore. How can I fix this?

**Issue**: In Adobe Bridge 2026 (version 16.0.2.23), HEIC files (iPhone photos, identical auto-numbering) display perfectly (thumbnails + preview) in some folders, but completely fail (no thumbnails OR preview) in other folders on the same internal drive. Windows Explorer and Photos app read ALL HEIC files without issue.**Configuration**:- Windows 11 25H2 (latest)- Extensions installed: HEIF Image Extension (1.0.51005.0) + HEVC Video Extension (free device manufacturer 3.0.8.564 + paid version tested then removed)- Bridge fully reset (Ctrl+Alt+Shift), cache purged multiple times (all, per folder, per selection)- Preferences adjusted: Max file size 5000MB, cache 100GB, high quality- Files local on internal drive (not OneDrive/NAS), simple names no accents/special chars- Tested: Refresh (F5), move folders, antivirus disabled**Steps tried (all failed)**:- Uninstall/reinstall HEIF/HEVC (PowerShell for invisible HEIF)- Full Bridge reset- Increase cache/thumbnail limits- Purge + F5 per folde

Duplicate Collections do not preserve custom sort of the original. Tried every suggestion - drag and drop, "pre-set" manual, duplicate file in finder. Each method scrambles the sequence in the new collection. I do not want to rename the files in the original collection. Working with Bridge 2026, Mac OS 26.2.  Is this a hopeless pursuit?

I ran out of disk space on an external hard disk, so I moved a large folder of photographs to a different external disk. Now photographs that were in the original place are lost in an important bridge collection. I can relocate them one by one in Bridge using the “Fix” dialog, but there are hundreds to fix. Question 1: Is there any way to to point Bridge to the new location of the folder and tell it to fix all pointers to photographs in that folder? Question 2: I am solving my storage problem by buying new larger disks. How can I avoid the same problem when I move all photographs to a new disk? Thanks,Phil

When I’m dragging or simply importing SVG files to Figma, I noticed that when I have ranked or labelled or otherwise ‘touched’ an SVG file, I can’t use it anymore in Figma. And the W3C Validator also reports some errors.Here’s one example (057 AIL icon 2026), which I could easily drag from Bridge or import as a file in Figma. But after labelling it (which changes and saves some metadata), Figma can’t import it anymore. (Copying and pasting the artwork still works.)BTW, it doesn't always happen ! The file (svg-4.svg) got a label from Bridge, but Figma accepts this one as normally.

Starting a few days ago, having selected an image to edit in ACR I found that choosing the Brush Tool produced an error message: “Bridge has encountered a problem and has to close.” I reported this but have received no advice by email. I deleted Bridge and re-installed: same problem occurs. I’ve cleared the cache: made no difference. I’ve updated PS & ACR: no difference.Having re-subscribed to Adobe CC only recently I am disenchanted with this persistent fault and zero contact from Adobe.

The entire thumbnail does not shift, however with a mixture of bitmap objects plus overlay art, the bitmap objects are shifted out of place or shifted out of the thumbnail entirely. The overlay elements remain in place. The images (jpgs) in Illustrator are linked. Also the images are larger than the artboard initially and resized. There is only one artboard. This only seems to affect image objects in Illustrator. The vector objects seem unaffected.FYI, my Illustrator files begin as pre-built .ai files containing pre-existing guides, artboard, and many objects that I frequently use as overlays. So, outside the artboard are dozens of my objects that I use as needed.  In Windows Explorer previews and the Illustrator welcome page, all objects inside and outside the artboard appear in the thumbnail, correctly positioned.In Bridge, only the artboard contents appear in thumbnails, but images are missing or shifted in the thumbnail.Attached images are from thumbnails in Bridge -One is the .png
