1. Bridge does not work with PSB format metadata

   I noticed that when saving a PSB format file from Photoshop, that Bridge is not seeing the metadata. This would be a Photoshop bug as well, as when I check in Photoshop (File Info), the metadata are not there (sorry, I am referring to the IPTC metadata - camera metadata are indeed there). So, I enter the metadata in Photoshop and save the PSB file. I reopen it to check that it is there, and it is. But when I look at the file in Bridge, Bridge is not seeing the IPTC metadata.

2. Rating

   Rating my pictures while culling doesn't save. I've had to cull my photos 3 times and now I am unable to even rate my photos. This happens far too often.

3. Bug report: Preview panel loupe view - EXIF orientation tags are ignored

   Hi there Adobe

   If an image has been mirrored and/or rotated e.g. by setting an EXIF tag
   Orientation : Mirror horizontal
   the loupe tool in the preview panel does not reflect the change. For images with a lot of text this is suboptimal.

   Version of Adobe Bridge: 15.0.2.432
   Steps to reproduce the issues: preview an image with an EXIF tag set e.g. Orientation: Mirror horizontal
   Operating System: W10 22H2 19045.5608
   Expected result: image is displayed in mapped orientation
   Actual result: image is displayed in original unmapped orientation

4. 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 I'm paying you.

5. Bridge 2023: Core UI Controls Missing or Unintuitive for Ratings, Rejects, Labels

   I became EXTREMELY frustrated with the non-intuitive nature of the latest Bridge. I worked through issues with ChatGPT and asked it to distill all that frustration into usable bug fix data for you. See below.

   I am reporting what I believe is both a usability bug and a major design regression in Adobe Bridge 2023 (and possibly newer).

   The core functionality for star ratings, reject flags, and labels—which are central to Bridge’s role as a media triage and asset manager—has been made incredibly difficult or nearly impossible to access in recent versions. I'm an advanced user trying to visually triage and organize a large number of video segments. This used to be Bridge's strength. Now it feels like an invisible obstacle course.

   Here are the specific issues:

   There is no longer a visible toggle or setting in the View menu (or anywhere else) to enable thumbnail badges, ratings, or reject flag visibility. These are either buried, automatically suppressed, or simply missing.

   The "reject" function, which used to be applied via a visible icon or shortcut, now appears to have no visual representation unless manually filtered via the Filter panel. There is no red X, no feedback, no context menu option—just silence.

   Clicking what appears to be a "reject" icon next to the stars actually just clears the star rating. There is no clear indication of what this does until trial and error reveals it. This is confusing and misleading UI.

   Right-clicking a thumbnail does not offer any options to rate, reject, or label the file. These options used to be available in earlier versions. Now they are hidden or stripped out.

   Keyboard shortcuts (1–5 for stars, 6–9 for labels, Delete for reject) still function—but unless you already know them and have the proper workspace, thumbnail size, and panels enabled, there is no way to know how or where to apply these settings.

   Preferences, View settings, and even the Workspace system no longer give users consistent control over what metadata is visible or how to apply it.

   Many support replies—even from Adobe staff—reference Lightroom Classic when users are asking about Bridge. This contributes to the confusion and makes users feel abandoned.

   The result: a program designed to enable fast media triage now requires hours of troubleshooting just to get a visible star or reject badge. This is not user error—this is a UX breakdown.

   What I'm asking for:

   Restore visible, clickable badges or icons for rating, rejecting, and labeling in the thumbnail view.

   Add clear right-click menu options for applying ratings and labels.

   Restore or add a setting (in Preferences or View) to explicitly enable or disable thumbnail badges.

   Clarify the purpose of UI elements like the blank-star "reject-looking" icon so it is not misleading.

   Provide a consistent visual feedback mechanism so users know what metadata is assigned and can trust what they’re seeing.

   Update your documentation and support articles to reflect the current UI, not outdated or Lightroom-specific instructions.

   This is not a niche complaint. It affects the core purpose of Bridge and creates enormous friction in workflows that used to be seamless.

   Thank you for reading. I truly want to see Bridge succeed—but right now, it feels broken in the most fundamental way.

6. Remove Reflections in Camera Raw

   A few weeks ago I used to be able to use the new 'remove reflections' tool, and it worked quite well. Recently it has just stopped working.

   It tries briefly then gives me 2 errors:
   "Unable to remove reflections. There was an unknown error."
   And "The graphics processor has encountered an unrecoverable error. Due to a run-time error, GPU acceleration has been disabled for the remainder of the session."

   It was a good tool before whatever changed in a recent update? Any help much appreciated.

7. Bridge is effectively unusuable when not online on high performance laptop

   Version 15.0.2.432 (but the issue is present in prior versions)

   I am using a very high-end machine, and Bridge performs well when connected to the internet. However, I am often offline for days at a time in the field while taking and processing photos. Bridge is effectively unusable when there is no internet connection. Once I'm back online, the issue disappears. To be specific, the issue involves extreme lag when adding/removing labels, ratings, navigating thumbnails, viewing "high quality preview" and opening images into Camera Raw. I would imagine that many other actions are impacted by the issue, but these are the actions I most often perform when culling images in the field while offline.

   I am 100% certain that Bridge is attempting web calls on nearly every single user action (presumably for Adobe's own internal user analytics), and it is doing so in a terribly inefficient manner that renders the software inoperable with repeated crashes and/or unnecessarily long wait times between actions. When the lag becomes too bad for me to continue, the app will not close (presumably because so many background web calls are queued). I have to force quit the application and then try and do a small batch of other reviews before the lag returns and I have to repeat the cycle by force quitting the app again until my patience expires and I have to wait until I'm back online. Every.single.time when I'm back online, Bridge goes right back to performing decently well.

   As a user that relies on software in the field while offline, it is a completely debilitating issue that will end my use of Adobe products if it is not fixed in short order, unfortunately. I'm a long time fan of the products, but this issue came up at least a year ago and has become too much of a burden as someone that must operate in an offline environment for a few days at a time on a regular basis.

   Bridge can (and should) disable these constant web calls when no connectivity is present. It should not check for internet on every single user action. Instead, Bridge should conduct the connectivity check at launch, and if no connectivity is present then Bridge should fully disable all web calls until a subsequent re-launch of the app reconnects to the internet.

   The flaw is incredibly disruptive to an important part of my workflow. Please correct the issue.

8. Image orientation sorting is not exact

   The "square" filter includes images that are not perfectly square. For example, the 2918px x 2940px image who's metadata I included, gets filtered as square when it is not.

   If there is some wiggle-room built in, I would like to be able to set that wiggle room in the settings. Or there should simply be no wiggle room.

10. Auto-Stack Panorama/HDR NOT working - doesn't group correctly

    Adobe Bridge's "Auto-Stack Panorama/HDR" does NOT work. The groupings you get are NOT grouped by time (as in for HDR photos taken in brackets within a couple seconds). Other images taken even minutes before/after are put into these stacks simply because they're the same subject. This is NOT how LRC/Lightroom Classic does it (which it's proper there). Needs to be fixed because it's unusable, and I'm not going to go through 1000+ 3-bracket HDR triplets set-by-set and stack them myself.

11. Bridge 2025 - painfully slow and frequently "not responding"

    In Bridge 2025 and in 2024 as well since a recent update, Bridge is painfully slow - especially on my external drives - and takes forever to display thumbnails, load full resolution previews, and even just change folders. It frequently reports as "not responding" and uses up excessive system resources. Scrolling with the mouse wheel also slowed down considerably with the 2025 update. I'm paying to use this software and it doesn't appear that Adobe performed the proper QA/QC before releasing recent updates. Please fix ASAP.

12. preview window corrupt

    Recently I have been having trouble with bridge when looking at files on my sd card. They appear corrupt but when I click on a thumbnail and hit the space bar, after it loads the preview, those colors go away and then when I back out out the enlarged preview, the thumbnail is normal.
    
    When I click on the thumbnail and go to camera raw, the image shows normal (sometimes) but then when backing out the thumbnail still has the lines and colors until I hit the space bar.
    When I double click on the preview that appears corrupt, to open directly in photoshop the camera raw window still shows the corruption and when I click open from there, the file shows just like the camera raw preview window...?
    How do I make this stop? Sure I could go through and hit the space bar for every file that looks like that, but that's a pain. Paying for a product that use to work just fine and now in the last couple months its been doing this, is frustrating.

14. Full Screen Preview / Spacebar Command on Video Files

    Currently, Full Screen Preview/Spacebar doesn't initialize directly over a video media.

    However, Full Screen Preview does work if you begin on another media type (still image, or any other filetype) and then navigate to video.

    Because of this, it seems there is no performance or technical reason Full Screen Preview can't be directly executed with video media.

    Perhaps this is indeed a bug?

    Thank you in advance for your time.

15. Problems with Metadata panel (15.0.0.397)

    I would like to report some bugs in the "Metadata" window/panel (Windows).
    As far as I can tell this was introduced in the latest version of Bridge (15.0.0.397) (never seen this before now).

    As can be seen in the examples below, some fields gets way to large (high) or to small (only a single line).
    Also, sometimes there are large areas of unused pace.

    In the examples below I have undocked the "Metadata" window to make it a bit larger (when docked the behavior is the same, but more difficult to observe).

    See screening dumps below:
    3-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy).jpg
    4-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy)-again.jpg
    5-Open-IPTC-Core.jpg
    6-Open-IPTC-Core-again.jpg
    7-very-large-Keywords-field.jpg

    • Start Bridge
    • Enable all properties in "File Properties", "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" and "IPTC Core"
    • "Window -> Metadata (open the metadata window)
    • Select an image with metadata
    • All sections are visible but closed -> see "1-All-sections-visible-but-closed.jpg"
    • Open "File Properties"

    • Looks OK -> "2-Open-File-Preperties.jpg"

    • Open "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" -> see "3-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy).jpg"

      • NOTICE a multiline title in "Document Title" gets only a single line displayed
      • NOTICE the "Keywords" field is only a single line
      • NOTICE the big gap after "Keywords"

    • Close "IPTC (IIM, legacy)"

    • Open "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" again -> see "4-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy)-again.jpg"

      • NOTICE the very large "Keywords" field

    • Close "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" again

    • Open "IPTC Core" -> see "5-Open-IPTC-Core.jpg"

      • NOTICE the big gap after "Description"

    • Close "IPTC Core"

    • Open "IPTC Core" again -> see "6-Open-IPTC-Core-again.jpg"

      • NOTICE the very large "Description" field
      • NOTICE also the very large "Keywords" field -> see "7-very-large-Keywords-field.jpg"

    • and so on ...

    This makes it very difficult/cumbersome to work with metadata in the new Bridge (used to be great).

    • Bridge version 15.0.0.397
    • Windows 11 version 23H2 (22631, 4460)

17. Camera raw mask brush disappears when trying to edit masks applied to DNG Files

    If I make a mask (say using the select subject tool) and then try to add/subtract areas from that mask by selecting "brush" then the brush tool disappears when I try to move it over the image... so I cannot see where the brush is or how to move it...

    I don't think the brush is actually working then anyway as I cannot seem to be able to subtract anything even when I manually change the brush size.

    Sometimes it seems to half work and sometimes not. I'd say for sure that using the brush tool to add/subtract from, at least, masks generated by "select subject" is very flaky now compared to how it was in earlier versions. So much so that I am now having to find workarounds rather than tray and work out what the issue is.

    This appears to affect editing of DNG files but not (say) NEF raw files, which I seem to be able to edit as I did before.

20. Cannot shift Capture Time by more than 24 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds

    I copied about 200 photos to my Mac from a camera whose date and time were exactly 1088 days, 3 hours, 21 minutes, and 28 seconds behind the correct date and time. I discovered that the user interface to set the "Date Time Original" field in the Exif metadata only allows the user to adjust the time on a batch of photos by a maximum of 24 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. I had to adjust the batch of photos by 3 hours, 21 minutes, and 28 seconds, and then tediously go through and change the date on each and every photo individually by 1088 days. The user interface should have a field where the user can also specify a number of days to shift, or failing that, a much larger number of hours (in my case, 1088 days x 24 hours, or 26,112 hours).
