Most other Adobe Apps have now HiDPI support. But Bridge supports only 100% or 200% (i'm on Windows)!
But I have a 27" Monitor with UHD (3840x2160) and Windows is set to 150%. Thats because with 100% all Elements are to small to read and with 200% everything is to big and the advantages of the high resolution are not used.
That's why 150% is ideal. Photoshop, InDesign etc. are perfect optimized for this value in between, but not Bridge. With the new Setting for the type size, there are more possibilities (but the space between the text lines will stay the same), but it could be better!
Please improve this, because I'm waiting for it for a Long time now.
Thanks a lot

Hello,

This might already exists since it seems like such an obvious feature (also appears in other Adobe products e.g Lightroom) but it is the ability to filter files by multiple keywords with the results only showing result that contain all the keywords selected not just if they contain any of the selected keywords.

For example I have photos of different athletic events eg track; high jump; triple jump; discus etc. these also have the keywords for the country they represent such as USA; GBR; BRA; RUS.

What happens right now when I select the keywords "High jump" and "GBR" I get all High jump photos not just the ones that also contain GBR. So is it possible to add the feature to change the filter result to contain all the selected keywords rather than any of the keywords?

I am aware you can use the search function to search "If all criteria match" however you can't use the filter pane to select the keywords you need to retype them into the search box.

My thought was a keyword search pane which displays all the keywords the same way as the keyword pane (hierarchical) but this time to perform a multi keyword search. So in the future I can tick the keywords "High jump" and "GBR" and only get High Jump photos with British athletes. Perhaps using the keyword pane but having an option at the top if you want to apply the keywords below or search.

Please return the old crop tool behavior or let the user decide in settings how we want it.
Before the crop was set to default when switching to next photo (no aspect ratio) now, when I crop with any aspect ratio in one photo and go to next photo the "remain aspect ratio" stays turned on (with full photo aspect ratio) and need to be manually switched off or set to different ratio if wanted.
Personally I also don't like the current moving photo instead of the crop area with mouse and the behavior like the crop always stays in the middle of the screen - therefore when moving the crop from side both is moving - the photo and the crop.

There are three things I’ve always wanted to do but never taken time to ask as a proper Feature Request :

I’d love Bridge to be able to invert a filtered view:
Say I picked all my red labels, with 4 stars and more, mainly squared pictures.
Now I want ALL the OTHER pictures.
It means picking NO label + green and blue + ALL other formats.
I’d love to do that in 1 click, even if that click is under a menu :)
I’m thinking of the hamburger menu of the filter panel,
The filter icon on top right of the main content view,
I’m also thinking of the contextual menu like right click in an empty space of the filter panel or the content panel.

Other thing I want is, in the filter panel, an “exclude” state to the checkboxes.
Right now, checkboxes work as OR, I would love them to have a NOT way of working.

I want pictures with women but not one woman only.
Or a truck AND a person but NOT an animal.

I know I could alt click to select all other results but as you know Boolean logic, this is not the same thing :)

Last thing in that direction would be OR and AND filtering in one category, mainly keywords (you cannot be landscape AND portrait, but you can have a person AND a car).

Let me know if that sound correct and/or if you’d see that in Bridge.

I added a file with :
1. full folder
2. my selection (red labels and 45)
3. what I get by alt-clicking every checkboxe
4. what I'd want as a "invert selection"

It's easy and obvious on a 12 photos set, you can imagine the time consumed on a bigger set.

It would be nice if there were a 'Get Info' command in Bridge for each file and folder. More times often than not I have to find information about a file whose information is not contained in the metadata window. For this I have to 'reveal in finder' and then 'get info'. It would be nice to have that as a shortcut in Bridge or display that full information in a panel to the side.

Hopping back to the finder is a bit cumbersome and makes me want to stay in the finder to work after that, rather than use Bridge, and I'd rather use Bridge.

When Typing a keyword (for example, “Sky”) into the search box at the bottom of the keyword panel (using "contains" as a search parameter), there are probably more than 1 keywords that contain that text string, but the entire list still displays; so if you have a long list, often times the highlighted items are far away from each other in the list and they won’t show up in the panel together. Example: I have several pre-defined keywords in the list... all containing the string “Sky". But I am searching for just "Sky" so I can apply it to a single photo so I type in the letters s, k, y, and the highlighted keyword then jumps to "skydiving". This is great when I want to quickly apply "Skydiving", but useless when I want to apply only the keyword "Sky".
A much better way to handle this is to dynamically filter the list to only the keywords that contain the string, so they are all there grouped right in front of you. In this way, typing "sky" would immediately filter the list to only the items that contain that string, something like:

_Top of Panel
☐ Skydiving
☐ Skylight
☐ Skyline
☐ Sky
_Bottom of Panel

It would be so much faster to quickly select the keyword you want if the search behaved like this. As soon as you apply the keyword, the search box should clear and the entire keyword list can now display in its entirety.

Extensis Portfolio works like this and it is a great timesaver. We are trying to use Bridge in our photo ingestion workflow but this is a “pain point”.

In Fullscreen Mode, Infos like how many stars/rating an Image has, is only displayed if I would set a Rating to an Image.
It would be very nice if this Info could displayed permanently with a shortcut or a Setting in the Settings window.
Often I would like to see the Rating in Fullscreen, but it's only possible to see it if I gave a new Rating to an Image, but first I have to look if there already is a Rating, to set it back to the original value after the Rating Infos are displayed.
That's annoying.
Thanks a lot

At the moment the metadata panel has useless (and misleading) dimensions for PDFs which are based off pixel preview data. It would be much more helpful if the panel could display the TrimBox values or just simple page dimensions (CropBox) if that's not available, either in mm or inches depending on your choice. Being able to show all the Page Boxes would be a dream. At the moment a user needs to launch Acrobat and dig to find that info.
At the very least with CropBox data, a user could, for instance, tell if they're looking at an A4 or A1 sized document without opening.
It would also be amazing if Bridge could show the same kinds of measurements for InDesign files. This would be much more useful than, say, Document Swatches – which is very useful! Many thanks.

How can I revert to the previous interface in Camera RAW?
The new one stacks all the edit items one above the other, and the panels don't close when a new one is selected. In no time you have a disorganised mess down the the RHS. You have to keep using the slider to get where you want to get to which is slower and inconvenient. Everything gets all cramped up and you have to close the panels yourself, rather than simply switching.

Previously you just clicked with the pen on a facitity (basic, detail colour etc). The panel opened, you used it, and then clicked on the next, one shut, the next one opened. You can't use more than one panel at a time anyway.
This is clumsy, slow and badly thought out.
Can we have a revert option in preferences please?
