Bridge

I am a professional architectural photographer with over 25 years of experience, and Adobe Bridge has been an essential part of my photographic workflow for many years.I am reporting a long-standing issue with the Adobe Bridge Output module that has a significant impact on my daily work: PDF contact sheets are generated with disproportionately large file sizes, even when relatively low resolution and image quality settings are selected.This is particularly frustrating because earlier versions of Adobe Bridge were capable of producing significantly smaller PDFs using comparable settings.Evidence of the regressionThis issue has already been documented by other Adobe users.One published comparison demonstrates that the same 30 JPEG images, arranged across two A4 pages at 150 ppi and image quality 8, produced: Adobe Bridge 2022: 386 KB Adobe Bridge 2023: 4,529 KB That represents an increase of approximately 1,073% in file size without a corresponding change in the output requirements.The

After aplying denoise for multiple pictures, the first picture is almost always corrupted in some way. The only solution I found so far is to unchceck the denoise feature, save the rest pictures and than copy the denoise feature from the correct one. 

Video files show no thumbnails in Adobe Bridge on my new Mac mini, (Goldengate 27.01) while photo thumbnails display normally. The same video files, on the same NAS, or on local desktop show thumbnails correctly in Bridge on an Intel iMac and on a Windows PC.SystemMac: Mac mini [M 6, [24 MB], macOS [Goldengate 27.01] Bridge: [16.0.x]. I also tried v15.x.x with the same result. Other Adobe apps installed: Photoshop, Media Encoder  Files are on the Mac drive as well as the office NAS connected over wired Ethernet (SMB). The problem is the same when I copy a file to the Mac’s local drive.Video filesAll types, all source. both .mov and .mp4 What I’ve already triedPurged the cache for the folder and changed the cache location Raised “Do not process files larger than” to 10,000 MB Reviewed all thumbnail and video preferences Reset Bridge preferences Rolled back from Bridge 16 to 15.x.x Tested files both on the NAS and locally]Expected: Video thumbnails appear, as they do on the Intel iMac an

Bridge consistently runs into an error when I'm assigning keywords to a large selection of images and applies them to only a part of them. When I try again (once or twice...), eventually it works. I am using the most update version (16.0.8.10) on a pc; I did not have this issue with older versions 

I’m experiencing inconsistent right-click behavior in Adobe Bridge. When I right-click an image thumbnail, the context menu sometimes stays open normally, but other times it appears briefly and immediately disappears before I can select a command. This makes right-clicking feel very touchy and unreliable.This issue started well over a month ago, although I can’t pinpoint the exact date. I’m using a Logitech MX Master 4, and right-click works normally elsewhere in macOS and in other applications. The problem only occurs in Bridge.I’ve already tried:Resetting Bridge preferences. Manually deleting Bridge preference files. Downloading and reinstalling Bridge. Resetting the mouse preferences and reinstalling Logi Options+.The issue started on my previous Mac. I initially suspected the mouse, but since I was about to upgrade my computer, I dealt with it until the new machine arrived.The same problem now persists on my new Mac Studio, despite a fresh installation of macOS and all applications

There are two issues I am noticing: The first is some of the images blackout when applying a rating (in this case 5 stars).  They will open properly but they go black once you rate them. The second is Bridge is not quitting after opening About Bridge. It needs a Force Quit to get out of this screen.

EnvironmentAdobe Bridge 2026 [version: e.g. 16.0.8] Adobe Photoshop 2026 [version: e.g. 27.11] Camera Raw [version: e.g. 18.7] Windows 11Steps to reproduceCreate a folder whose name contains an apostrophe, e.g. hogehoge's, and put a Canon raw file (.CR2) in it. In Bridge, browse to that folder. Right-click the .CR2 file and choose “Open in Camera Raw”. In the Camera Raw dialog (hosted in Bridge), click “Open”.Expected resultPhotoshop launches (or comes to the front) and opens the image.Actual resultNothing happens. Photoshop does not launch, and no error message is shown.The same thing happens even when Photoshop 2026 is already running.Additional informationIf the folder is renamed without the apostrophe (e.g. hogehoges), the same steps work correctly. Opening the same file directly in Photoshop from Bridge (right-click > Open With > Photoshop) works fine, and Camera Raw hosted in Photoshop opens normally. The apostrophe (‘) is a valid character for folder names on Windows. Alre

Après avoir ajouté une centaine de fichiers. Bridge se mettait en mode ‘ne répond pas’, une fois complètement ouvert (affichage complet)Le dossier atteignait 1,18 To pour 44 200 fichiers.J’ai réduit le dossier à 42 000 fichier pour 1,04 To, et tout refonctionne correctement.Faut-il en déduire que Bridge est limité à des dossiers de +-1 To ?*********************After adding about a hundred files, Bridge would stop responding once it was fully open (full view).The folder was 1.18 TB with 44,200 files.I reduced the folder to 42,000 files totaling 1.04 TB, and everything is working properly again. Does this mean that Bridge is limited to folders of around 1 TB?

bridge prompts this message every time i open it‘Time Limit! You’ve reached your limit on adobe bridge 2026’i have to hit ignore for today so that i can work in it….sometimes it even freezes and does not let me do anything.How can i stop this?

Using the Adobe Custom Metadata extension, you can't copy or paste text from fields like a bag or single text. You can select the text in the relevant field, but copy/paste acts on the selected image instead. This causes the user to duplicate images instead of trying to copy a metadata value from one image to others.This massively reduces the useful of using the panel in conjunction with AEM or for any QA workflows.

When I filter files then select the filtered files and move them with drag and drop to another folder in the folders window Bridge freezes so that I need to kill it.When I select the filtered files and then press the x Button on the filtered files view to return to the full unfiltered folder view the files are still selected and I can move them by drag and drop without problems.
