When I open a folder in bridge, thumbnails and previews are generated of the photos in the folder. If I open another folder and then open the previous folder again, the thumbnails and previews are generated again. Also if I close bridge and then start it again, the thumbnails and previews of every folder I open, are generated again.In this way bridge works very slowly and is not workable at all.How can I improve this?
Anybody else miss this?We have "Light," "Dark," and "Chunky Dark" but there's no "Medium" anymore! I definitely miss this. Adobe please answer my call!

Summary: Drag-drop a new folder of images to Bridge and about 30 images in it starts making previews on demand.Steps:It is common for Photographers to quickly divide photos of a shoot into topics. Quick glance at Thumbnails (Windows or Bridge) and move them into folders. Folders contain 100 or more photos When done going through a folder of photos, rating the good ones, Photographer drags the next folder to the Bridge Preview Panel to start rating the next topic. About 30 photos into rating the photos Bridge starts creating Previews one at a time. On demand. This is very annoying. Theory: A Thread making the previews has suddenly died. HIGHLY REPEATABLE. For years. It can happen the first time a new folder is drag-dropped to Bridge. It can happen the 3rd time the next folder is drag-dropped. IT WILL HAPPEN. My experience: DAILY. Every single day I reach this time consuming problem.Workaround: Restart Bridge. Sometime repeatedly on days when there are a dozen of topics to cull or rate
There is no facility to search the list of keywords for the one I want to add (mine are grouped) into categories. At present I have to have a separate keywords file which I can search in notepad. Ideally it would be great if it could suggest keywords, ideally from a list that I have.
Bridge refused to install but I want to ask further questions: First, here’s the image of the error message: This is the detailed bridge system requirements: https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/desktop/get-started/technical-requirements.html Second, Windows 11 is garbage. Third, I have a 10th Generation Intel processor HP Zbook Fury Mobile Workstation and it supports AVX2 under “instruction set extensions” https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/201897/intel-core-i710850h-processor-12m-cache-up-to-5-10-ghz/specifications.html Finally, Microsoft has extended support for another year for Windows 10. Why are you really doing this?
Products: Photoshop 27.8.0, Bridge 16.0.5, Adobe Camera Raw 18.4.1.2647Hardware: Mac Mini M4 Pro with 24 GB, Apple Studio Display XDROS: macOS “Tahoe” 26.5.2Symptoms: Bridge deletes the sidecar (.xmp) file associated with a raw file, when a another file (with similar name, but different type) is deleted.Steps to reproduce:1) Double-click a thumbnail icon in Bridge to open a raw file (example: myFile.nef) in ACR.2) Make a simple edit with ACR, for example: changing exposure or contrast.3) Click "Done" to save the change and close the ACR window. Bridge should now show a small graphic superimposed on the thumbnail icon, to indicate that a sidecar file (myFile.xmp) has been created. In Finder, you should see the sidecar file in the same folder as the raw file.4) Use Bridge to re-open the same raw file in ACR.5) Click the "Convert and Save" icon (upper right of ACR window) to bring up the "Save Options" dialog.6) Select a different format (jpg, avif, etc.) to create a new file from the con
I’m posting here out of frustration. I just purchased a new $1500 Microsoft Surface with the Snapdragon processor, and Adobe Bridge will not run properly on it.I’ve used Bridge since version 1, and I pay over $700 per year for my Creative Cloud license. On top of Bridge not working, several other CC apps still don’t run on Windows ARM, which makes the situation even worse.At this level of investment, core Adobe applications should be fully compatible with modern Windows ARM devices. This is a major issue for anyone relying on Adobe tools in a professional workflow. Please address this — it’s critical.
I need to call this out because it’s unacceptable. I just bought a brand‑new $1500 Surface (Snapdragon) and Adobe Bridge doesn’t work on it.I’ve used Bridge since V1, and I pay over $700 a year for Creative Cloud. Yet multiple CC apps still don’t run on Windows ARM. How is this still the case in 2026?Professionals depend on these tools every day. This needs to be fixed.
I just tried to install Bridge on my new Surface Pro 11, which uses a Snapdragon ARM processor. While Photoshop works, Bridge would not install as the error message said a version of Bridge is not available for this processor. Does anyone know if Adobe plans to deliver a version of Bridge that works with the Snapdragon processor? Thanks

Bridge 16.0.4 fails to launch on Windows 10 with "EnumResourceNamesA" entry point errorWindows 10 Pro 22H2 (Build 19045.6466)Bridge 16.0.3.21 works correctly.Updating to Bridge 16.0.4 causes Bridge to fail immediately on launch with:"The procedure entry point EnumResourceNamesA could not be located..."Photoshop 2026 works normally. Downgrading Bridge back to 16.0.3.21 resolves the issue immediately.
IE: from the viewing panel; to open a photo in Bridge, the space bar is used and a double click to send the photo in light room.. Light Room Classic uses the double click to open a photo. Why can’t bridge use the same keystrokes as light room. Use double click to open the photo in its own environment and create a drop down menu or right click menu to sent to light room. Also let the edit button in this suggestion box also let you edit the title.Commants=Commands
Product: Adobe Bridge 16.0.5.19Platform: WindowsSummary:Bridge does not retain the size and desktop position of its main window when it is closed in the normal (restored/non-maximized) state.Steps to reproduce:1. Open Bridge.2. Restore the window so it is not maximized.3. Resize it to occupy approximately the left two-thirds of the screen and position it at the left edge.4. Exit Bridge normally.5. Launch Bridge again.Actual result:Bridge opens with a different normal-window size, shape, and/or desktop position.Expected result:Bridge should reopen using the same normal-window dimensions and screen position it had when it was closed.Additional information:- The maximized state is remembered correctly. If Bridge is closed maximized, it reopens maximized.- The problem specifically affects the saved coordinates and dimensions of the restored window.- Saving or changing a Bridge workspace does not solve the problem; workspaces control the internal panel layout.- The behavior persists after r
Bridge 16.0.4 will not open. get an error message "Entry Point Not Found" EnumResourceNamesA could not be located in the dynamic link library
I use Illustrator for all sorts of projects and one of those is to create layout comps for PowerPoint templates so that I can easily export vector elements to use in PowerPoint. PowerPoint supports a variety of image formats, including vector formats (EPS, WMF, and EMF). Through experience, I have found that EMF files are the most stable vector format for PowerPoint. The problem is that I am unable to preview the images I’ve created when it comes down to organizing and archiving a finished project. I’ve been contemplating switching back to a competitor’s standalone software product (no subscription necessary) that will do what Bridge does, and more. The only reason to keep bridge on my system is for the color settings management which, when applied through Bridge, works across all the Adobe software so I don’t have to install it in every program.
Clearly there is a significant number of Bridge users on Win 10. Why is Adobe forcing us to update to Win 11 when even Microsoft concedes that many Win users are not updating, and thus MS is continuing support for Win 10.Why is Adobe abandoning us, and now with Premier Pro also? If you cannot/will not answer, who do we contact at Adobe to voice our displeasure?

Camera Raw has no customizable toolbar for presets. Frequently used presets should be pinnable as icons directly in the Camera Raw toolbar for one-click access — without opening the preset menu every time.
When I try to run it, a prompt sayng "Unable to find procedure entry point EnumResourceNameA ( in the dynamic link library c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge 2026\Adobe Bridge.exe).
100% reproducible
"In Bridge 2026 with multi-monitor setup, the Full Screen Preview (Spacebar) always opens on the main monitor — not on the monitor where the Preview Panel is located. Please add an option to choose which monitor the Full Screen Preview opens on."
"Preview Panel in Bridge 2026 does not scale images to fill the available space on Retina displays (Apple Studio Display 5120x2880). Images show with large grey borders regardless of panel size. Please add a Fit-to-Panel option."thx Foto Aichinger
Bridge will usually generate previews with the wrong size when "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" has been enabled (checked). I would guess that this bug has been present for a while. The setting can be found here: Preferences -> Advanced -> Generate Monitor-Size Previews On my system (see below), I have a monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. When "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is not checked, Bridge generates preview files with a pixel width of 2048 pixels in this cache folder (2048 seems to be the default size): C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge\Cache\v36\1024\... Then, when checking "Generate Monitor-Size Previews", I see preview files with a width of 2560 pixels for new files, which may be the expected width (but see note below *). However, with "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" still checked, I exit Bridge, then starts Bridge again, then I double check that "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is still set in Preferences
