Hi

Have you checked the File Type Associations in Bridge preferences to make sure Photoshop 2020 is set as the default

Thanks Ged..I think you are right.. Gone into Preferences/File type associations.. all are showing as none..Question..How do I put Adobe Photoshop 2020 21.0 in there?

Click on the down arrow and navigate to the Photoshop.exe file

I don't know what version Bridge you are running, but 10.0 is the latest and you can update that via the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

If you have an older copy, you can check File Type Associations there and fix it.

You are right. It is the file association preferences that had gone. They all showed none...Many thanks

All three copies of Bridge I have, 2018, 2019, and 2020 do show the latest Photoshop. Usually I get a question about enabling startup scripts and I always answer "yes".
