Make Bridge Automatically Open after closing file

[rays39383226]

Hello - I just got a new computer with Windows 11 and reloaded PS and ACR and Bridge.  On my old computer with Windows 10, when I was "Done" with a picture in ACR or after closing a picture in PS after saving, Bridge would automatically open back up.  I liked that workflow.  It seems that now, after closing a picture it stays on the PS homescreen.  And then I have to click again to get back to Bridge.  Is that a new change or is there a setting I can change?  Thanks!

Hi, You'd get the wanted behaviour if you were opening images in Bridge Hosted ACR, for instance with CMD+R, or the ACR "shutter" icon in the interface. If you double-click, you open the images in Photoshop-hosted Bridge.

Bridge has never opened automatically when closing an image in Photoshop.

However, there is a "close and go to Bridge" command in the file menu, and you can assign a shortcut to this.

EDIT: yes, if ACR is hosted by Bridge, not Photoshop, it should obviously return to Bridge.

Thanks everybody for the quick replies!  The "behavior" I'm looking for is when I'm closing a file not opening it.  I'm not sure what you mean by "Photoshop-Hosted" - is that a setting?  And I respectfully disagree that Bridge never automatically opened with closing an image - I'm doing it right now on my old computer!  But maybe my use of the term "automatically" isn't correct - Bridge is already open in the background, but when I close an image my screen reverts to Bridge.  R

If ACR is invoked from within Bridge, then it is "Bridge hosted". If ACR is invoked from within Photoshop, then it is "Photoshop hosted".

A Photoshop script to execute Bridge could be automatically run from the close document event using the Script Events Manager. This would work from all documents closed in Photoshop, but it probably wouldn't work when closing a document in ACR hosted by Photoshop as that event wouldn't be visible, unless the document was sent from ACR to Photoshop.
