The ability to see multiple images and star/vote on our favorites.
Search. I think there should be more flexibility in searches. I would also like to be able to keep bookmarks. Maybe there is a way but I haven't seen one.
Collaboration with our photo studio. We keep our images on the server. Once, connected all of our images plus dates/star ratings is all kept.
The layout can easily changed to best suit personal preferences.
The interface can become cluttered with unnecessary information without updating your settings.
Adobe Bridge easily organizes all of my files for easy access and allows me to quickly select the best photos in an album.
I like that I can see a visual library of my artwork files, rather than having to use Windows Explorer and the tiny thumbnails.
Adobe Bridge can sometimes run quite slowly with large artwork files, but once it has made a thumbnail, it caches it.
I have lots of artwork folders for lots of customers, and I use Adobe Bridge to help organize this artwork so I can go back to it and reuse it when a customer reorders. This saves me significant time and makes me more productive.
I like that Adobe Bridge can manage video asset files just like image files, helping to navigate through my stock footage folder. This saves me time.
The color scheme of Adobe Bridge is kind of bizarre, and not in keeping with the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite, which is strange as there is a cohesive style between the rest of the applications.
I use Adobe Bridge to help index and navigate my large library of stock video footage. This helps me save time finding videos, which ultimately makes me more productive and lets me work on projects for longer and create better results.
I like that Adobe Bridge lets me search for assets in my library using various metadata e.g. title, dimensions etc.
I don't like the user interface for Adobe Bridge. I would prefer it if the styling was more in keeping with Windows Explorer. For example, the font size appears unusual and is not pleasing to the eye.
I use Adobe Bridge to manage my library of graphical assets. I can use Adobe Bridge to search for files of a particular size, taken with a specific camera, or with specific keywords. It saves me time and helps me to keep more organized.
I can preview files that the default Windows File Manager can't. I can tag items. It's basically the File Manager on steroids with PDF previews, etc...I have not found a replacement yet anywhere. (I've looked). You are actually able to use this tool without an Adobe subscription.
Can be laggy and slow. Hogs start up time if not disabled.
- Organization of Files - Previews files, can choose which one I want to work with fast, especially PDFs, SVGs, and other Vector files. - Finding my Files - Quick view without opening heavier applications.
Adobe Bridge connects seamlessly with other Adobe Creative Cloud programs, but functions well with any assets across the board.
The user interface with Adobe Bridge doesn't feel as elegant as other Creative Cloud programs.
Using Bridge saves me more time than I ever expected. As someone who values efficiency, I quickly came to rely on Bridge for many needs, and that list continues to grow every month.
I love the ability to rename multiple files at once that Adobe Bridges give you. It is also helpful for categorizing, editing metadata, and keeping all your content organized.
As with most adobe software, there is a learning curve to overcome to be able to best utilize the software. Videos or personal instructions will give you the best results.
Organization and customization of photo and Adobe content storage options. Has helped to keep all of my files easy to find and sorted.
I love the ability to view design files as thumbnails when stuck with a windows machine.
Lack of multiple renaming features benefits from using metadata.
Quickly and effectively manage design files.
La rápida visualización de todos los formatos de archivos creados con el paquete de Adobe Creative Cloud, anteriormente hacíamos una versión en TIFF o JPG con el mismo nombre del archivo para encontrarlos fácilmente, con Bridge ya no hace falta!
Algunas veces puede consumir bastante recursos en segundo plano actualizando la caché de miniaturas, lo solucionamos no dejando abierto en segundo plano.
Principalmente encontrar con facilidad el archivo que necesitamos, Bridge facilita mucho la búsqueda y navegación en nuestros documentos.
Adobe Bridge comes with most Photoshop software. So basically it's free. And you can use it to create multi page pdf's too.
You can't edit images in lots and you can't use it for culling your images.
I use Bridge to make multiple page pdf's of my digital brochures. This is a great asset for me since as a photographer, my clients like to be able to view and download a price list on my website. Also good when you need to edit just one RAW file.
I am able to manipulate and color correct images and apply the corrections to similar images with little effort.
The program has many elements and while learning the program, it can make it difficult to navigate.
I am able to work on multiple images at once and apply the changes, saving the company time and money. The Camera Raw mode allows for accurate color corrections.
I love the starring system and color coding for files. It makes it so easy to separate, group, and filter photos without even moving them. I also love the ability to view and edit metadata on photos. Batch Editing file names is also so easy with Bridge!
Bridge often takes far too long to load all of the thumbnails in a folder. I am a photographer and use bridge for folders with thousands of photos each, and it takes up to 20 minutes to load all the thumbnails of my images. I know part of that is my computer's problem, but Bridge definitely seems to take up a lot of Ram.
We are using Bridge to organize current and archival folders of photos. We use the starring capability to designate— on a scale of one to 5 stars— which photos are usable (*), to which photos should absolutely be used and/or published in print or media capacity (*****). We also used the coloring system to mark which photos have already been used. We use the metadata section to make particularly special or useful images searchable.
Its an easy tool for looking at picture and make quick adjustments to your entire album from a photo shoot in camera raw.
Sometimes it crashes on my computer, I found it difficult to learn as a tool
Quick photo editing and organizing photos on my computer.
Adobe Bridge is an easy and useful program to use for sorting pictures. Even though I haven't reached the potential it offers, I really enjoy using Bridge when I need to categorize images I have in a file. And you are able to open up images from Bridge straight into Photoshop as well.
I haven't used it enough to know all the features it offers, so I can't say at this point that there is anything I dislike.
When I need to use pictures that I take for my job, I like to sort through the good and bad ones in Bridge. Once I sort them out, I'm able to save the good ones in a separate folder for later use. This is a great platform for organizing photos and connecting straight to Photoshop.
makes finding files easier, good interface, organized
at first it is hard to navigated but takes time to get used to
organization of files and archives, it makes it a lot easier to find old files and organize them in an efficient manner
I like how easy it is to cull images and choose the best ones to edit. I love that you can "rate" your images. Or, if you "delete" one from Bridge, it just hides it so you can see what you have left.
I honestly can't think of anything I dislike about it. It's super easy to use and I love it!
Editing photographs - I'm a photographer and Bridge makes sorting through and picking my favorites from each session a lot faster! It helps me to get my editing done much quicker.
Usually I only use it when I import an item from/to Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. My data is nicely organized and easily to look up. I feel like its an essential help tool for people who use several Adobe softwares.
There is really nothing I could dislike about this program, it just works fine for me.
It does not really solve any actual problem, but it has added value to my work since it helps me to save a little time and make my data more organized and easily accessible. So I recommend it because it gives you a hand and fasten up your working process.
I like the search option and the ease of customizing the display of images.
Sometimes it takes a long time to load files, but it could be he file size.
No business problems so far. Benefits, I can see everything at a glance and it's easy to maneuver through the program.
I like that Bridge allows for better handling and organizing of my photography. It allows for good meta tagging and works nicely with Adobe Photoshop for photo editing. I appreciate that you can use this to batch edit, and I like how the contact sheets feature works.
I dislike that it is not already a part of Adobe Photoshop, and that you have to have yet another software open and running on your computer while working with photos and/or graphic design. Although the contact sheet feature is nice, it could still use some improvement.
It helps with the organization and care of large quantities of photos at once. I think it has a nice interface and plays nicely with other softwares that I use all day, everyday. This also helps me work faster.
