PS 2018 + Bridge

Report · May 19, 2018

I purchased and downloaded PS 2018, having used it for some time I thought I'd add "Bridge" to the mix, does Bridge work with the downloaded version of PS 2018 and if so why can't I get it to work ? Plus what constitutes a "qualifying product". I upgraded from PS 14 and I'm using W10 64 bit.

I like the idea of using camera raw without having to fire up PS so some help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Dave.

Dave,

My advice: first read the following discussion:

http://photoshopelementsandmore.com/thread/1584/bridge-free-all

To be short:

- you can install Bridge for free without subscribing to the CC Cloud

- a "qualifying" product is either Photoshop or Elements

- the ACR version is either the full one if you have Photoshop or the limited one in Elements ACR.

Not sure that you'll get what you want, but since you already have PSE2018, it's worth trying.
