  1. Bridge 2025 Loupe & Scrolling sticks still when trying to move slowly.

    Max OSX 15.2 MacBook Pro M4 Max.

    Moving a loupe over an image, when moving slowly there is NO movement at all! This is true if using a trackpad or mouse.

    This also affects scrolling of the content files/images. When scrolling slowly there is no scrolling, zero!

    To move a loupe around you need to move quickly, but then when reducing speed it'll suddenly stick again. So you either have fast movement or none, it's bad.

    Bridge was never like this in early versions, nor should it be now! Fundamental bug needs fixing ASAP!! PLEASE!! Adobe this is 2025 and…

  2. "Light Table" mode: Continued high CPU usage

    See Update #1, 2025-01-16 below.
    See Update #2, 2025-01-16 below.

    When using the latest version of Bridge (15.0.2.432) I have noticed that sometimes Bridge has a continued (very) high CPU usage for no reason. I can replicate this 100% (system details below):

    1. start Bridge

    2. enter "maximized" mode for the Bridge app window (so that the Bridge window fills the whole screen)

    3. enter "Filmstrip" mode

    4. go to a folder with more than around 40 images (see below *)
         (I have tested this with both small JPEGs and with large TIFFs, see also about filters below)

    5. Bridge may or may not generate…

  3. Bridge does not open large externar disks

    I have a Terramaster with many 16tb disks. Most of time this cannot be opened. I see the little circle spinning but It cannot open the content of those disks. If I delete preferences I can open them but in a few days it happens again. With any other program I have no problem to open those large disks like ACDSEE or PhotoMechanic so it is an Adobe Bridge problem. It has been going for very long now with no solution

  4. Bridge cannot open large hard disk

    I cannot open any large external Hard Drive . Drives of 8TB are fine but I have a few 16tb drives on an external Terramaster. They do not open in Bridge. They haven't in the past so i moved to photo Mechanic . With the new updates i tried again but the problem is not solved. Nor on the left panel where the folder structure should be under the drive nor in the content panel nothing can be seen. Large files are just impossible to popen for Bridge

  5. Bridge painfully slow

    I'm constantly waiting while Bridge is spinning. This even happens for simple tasks like assigning a star rating to a photo. I used CS6 for years and never had any of these problems. Can I please go back!

    It also just deleted a bunch of my keywords from the list. How can this program have gotten so awful? I don't see any improvements over my old version, only problems.

  6. Zoom

    Version 14.1.0.257

    Issues with Zoom during Preview screen

    MacBook Pro - Sonoma 14.5 - M3 MAX - 36GB

    Expected zoom to show the close up of the area that I have selected.

    Actual results in zoom window shows about a quarter of the selected area, with the rest of the pixels stretched to the edge of the zoom window. Tried to uninstall/reinstall Bridge but it does not fix the issue.

  7. Radial mask/ linear gradient/ brush issues

  8. "spinning wheel of death" when opening or modifying a folder of images

    I get the famous "spinning wheel of death" when opening or modifying a folder of images, and it is OBSCENELY CPU INTENSIVE, so much so that Bridge becomes unusable for minutes at a time. When are you going to fix this?

  10. Opening a couple of DNG's as layers in a PS file doesn't work

    In Bridge you have under the tools menu the possibility to layer several dng files in one document. For instance to realign . In the newest version it doesn't work anymore.

  11. GPU not being used on Mac mini M2 Pro during export with Camera Raw Applied

    I apply Camera Raw settings to a large number of images for Timelapse. When I select all the images and start the Export job, the GPU stays unused in Activity Monitor on Mac OS X Ventura Apple M2 Pro 32GB.

  12. Extremely Slow performance on Network Drives

    I am running Bridge 13.0.3.693 and I have roughly ~43k of photos and MP4's files in a folder. The files are broken into years and then months and span approximately 20 years. These files are stored on Network drive. Some folders have 10 files while other folders may have 500 files.

    The performance of Bridge when starting up is ok at first (not great) but after 15 minutes the performance really starts to drop. As time goes on performance continues to degrade to the point where the User Interface is nearly unresponsive. Even the Windows Task Manager flags the process…

  13. Bridge spinning wheel of death is worse than ever

    If I save a new PSD to a folder containing (for example) more than 100 other PSDs, Bridge freezes indefinitely, the spinning wheel of death laughing at me as the machine crawls to a molasses speed. When are you going to fix this? Bridge is a mess of performance blockages and freezes. Aren't you even the slightest bit embarrassed?

  16. Bridge 2023 GPU Rendering Bug - Photoshop and LrC all using my gpu on macOS 13.0

    Adobe Bridge 2023 (macOS) has GPU rending issues. The preference checkbox for software rendering is greyed out and I can't deselect it. Bridge thinks my driver is out of date. However, both photoshop and Lightroom classic use my gpu just fine. I have a screenshot showing both. I'm running the most up to date version of macOS....ventura 13.0. I have uninstalled and reinstalled bridge. I contacted adobe support and they kept suggesting I update the driver. macOS drivers are built into the OS and cannot be updated separately. As I'm running the latest version, this is clearly not a driver…

    CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
    GPU: RTX3060Ti 8GB
    RAM: 64GB DDR

  18. Photo importer (Get photos from camera) is messed up in the newest hotosgop Bridge V 13.00.562

    Bridge Version 13.00.562. running on my Ventura Macintosh Studio pro silicon, will no longer successfully import images from my SD card using Photo Import (get images from Camera) When I insert my SD card, it shows approx 45 B&W skewed images in the preview window, and asks to start the import process. This worked FINE int he previous version of PS, and I've used this method of image ingestion for YEARS. This new Bridge version has a serious bug in the photo import function.

  19. Loading thumbnails from network share is much slower in version 12.0.3.270

    Since updating t version 12.0.3.270 opening a folder and loadding thumnails from a network share is much, much slower. It takes 5-10 seconds before any thumb is shown, even if the directory contains only a few (less than 10) images.
