  1. Bridge 14.0.3.200 is slow/laggy on OSX

    We have been running Bridge for a number of years at our photo studio. Over the past few months, Bridge has been running excessively slow. Tasks like sorting through thumbnails in Essentials view are laggy. Moving from one thumbnail to the next has a delay associated with it. We are running top-of-the-line Mac Studio workstations. We're not sure why the performance of Bridge has suffered recently, but we strongly urge Adobe to kindly look into this matter.

  2. Masking and brushes not working properly while editing DNG files

    While selecting a color range mask and then subtracting with a brush, the brush is slow to respond and then snaps to a blocky removal shape, then subtracts even more after letting go of the brush. Working with DNG. Jpeg on desktop, no problem. Single NEF file, seems to work fine. Convert files to HDR and a DNG will not operate as normal.

  4. Performance horrible after update to version 14.

    Bridge version 14.0.1.137.
    Mac OS 14.2

    Doing almost anything brings up the spinning beachball for 10-15 seconds. It is unusable at this point. Just clicking on the Help menu to get here gets a wait as well as checking the version number. I have restarted my Mac and tried to use it with no other applications running, but it made no difference.

  5. "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?

  7. 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.

  8. Bridge Beta v14.0.0.57 BUG: no thumbnails for RAW files AND no CameraRaw!!!

    Bridge Beta v14.0.0.57 BUG: no thumbnails for RAW files AND no CameraRaw (Ctrl+R not working, and there's also no CameraRaw in the menus)!!!
    It (CameraRaw, Ctrl+R, ...) is not working on Canon CR2 and CR3 files, also not working on simple JPG files too!
    The very same is working in "normal" Bridge (v13.0.4.755).

    Hi,

    This issue is fixed with the latest Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 15.5.1 update.

    We would recommend you update and confirm if the issue is resolved.

    To update Camera Raw: Go to the Creative Cloud desktop app, click on Update in the left sidebar of the Apps panel, and Check for updates. Then click Update for Camera Raw.

    We appreciate your patience and support.

    Regards,

    Bridge team

  9. Can't interrupt lengthy metadata search

    I started a lengthy content search (among 16,000 photos) for 'All Metadata contains "25" in "Photo Archive" and all subfolders'. When I realized the search was too broad, I tried repeatedly hitting the "Stop Search" button but I was unable to stop the search. I just get the rainbow cursor going around and around. I eventually had to force quit Bridge.

  11. 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…

  12. 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?

  13. High CPU utilisation

    Bridge 2023 continually causing high CPU utilisation, even when doing nothing.
    Bridge 2022 works perfectly fine with CPU utilisation almost zero after a few minutes.

  18. What are you doing to my CPU? Simply sitting on a folder of multiple images results in numerous spinning wheels of death...

    What the hell are you doing, whether in the background or foreground, you're consuming vast CPU cycles! The previous version was far more usable...

  19. 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…
