Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

I LOVE adobe camera raw. i love that i can review and rate the photos, and color code. i love that it is so easy to use and the preview function will tell you the camera settings on the side, presets are also awesome. batching is so useful. presets are so useful! I love that in the filter section of review you are able to select a group of photos with only that setting, for example if you shoot different days, you can select only one day to make it easy to differentiate what edits need to be done, its perfect for when you use the same card for different events.

there really isnt any thing i dislike about the program, but if i could i would like the ratings to extend over to finder on my mac, I think the program is really really well put together, if i could buy it as a standalone product i might have it only and skip photoshop. I use bridge a TON. It is very vital to my work.

i am able to quickly cull and edit raws using adobe camera raw and then batch. Batching is my absolute savior i am able to get alot done, while not even sitting at my computer.

It's easy to catalog and organize large batches of images into different categories. Also it's easy to add metadata to all of your images at once. I would say this product is very helpful for those who are working in the photography world or on photography projects.

I can't think of anything that i dislike about this product. It's easy and effective and it gets the job done in a quick and easy way.

Bridge has solved my issue of organizing my images. Im able to rate the images and sort in a quick and effective way. The program is really easy to learn and takes less time to learn the program then what others may think.

Bridge makes it easy to sort, rename and manage your photo library. It has changed the way I manage my image library and rename photos. I wont use any other image browser.

I am sad they they have removed the output integration which use to allow me to easily create customized contact sheets. I have tried their plugin with no success.

The biggest time saver has been the batch rename and batch action application which allows me to easily rename and apply sequence numbers to any set of photos. The batch action drop down allows me to apply any batch in photoshop to edit images including conversion to CMYK for print.

Adobe Bridge has changed little over the last few years while other Adobe programs continually change. But recently there have been multiple improvements including improved cache management, and an option to import images from external devices including iOS and Android mobile devices. Adobe has improved the speed that images load while using this program as well which has been a huge bonus.

Updating to the new program will delete any smart collections.

Using this program makes it easier to view images and more specifically in my case, previous designs. As I work with a high volume of content/ads, I need a program that helps me to look at past work quickly and efficiently. This program does just that.

I like that I can look through all the photos from a photo session and add star ratings. I can also label certain photos and then just see those photos by themselves.

I don't like that the zoom box zooms too far and it's pixellated. I'd like to see the zoom at 100% but it never looks like that, so I can't really tell if a photo is in focus until I bring it into photoshop or ACR.

This helps me with my photography business because I can quickly go through my photos and decide which ones I'd like to keep and edit. I can delete photos right from Bridge, or favorite them, or label them. I can select the photos I want to edit and bring them right into Camera Raw to edit. It shows me my RAW files and allows me to go through them fast. I can also see photo info from the program, so I can see what settings I used in my camera.

What I like best about this product is it really organizes my photos for me and is a great way to track down exactly what I am looking for.

The thing I sometimes dislike about this product is the fact that it can be extremely slow at times, which makes my editing process slow and I want to get things done in a short span of time.

Easy organization of photos

The best part is the easy transition between any adobe program. Easy to edit and select images with out leaving the Adobe work space. It has great label and filtering options so you can customize the space in a way it is best for you working style.

UI design of Navigation buttons is outdated, buttons and fonts are very small.

Designing print and online colateral material, websites and mobile apps. Benefits are a much faster work peace thanks to easy collaboration between adobe apps and less stress work environment thanks to a organized file finding.

I love that I can easily go through hundreds of photos and mark them with different ratings as I go. Then I can easily sort by how I rated them to easily eliminate the ones I don't want to use without deleting them.

Sometimes it can take a while for the previews to load when looking through many photos or large files.

Photo culling and light retouching. I love that I can use Camera Raw straight from Bridge to retouch photos... sometimes I don't even need to open them in photoshop!

The space bar preview like in OSX. I love how quick you can preview a media file just pressing only the space bar om your keyboard. It's invaluable for fast viewing and browsing.

I dislike the preview quality. it's somehow compresed. I wish that in fit size screen mode to be able to preview the final quality like you see it in Photoshop or othe image viewers. And also dislike the fact that at the moment you can't preview pdf or other non-adobe file types. I hope in the near future they would implement more file types in the preview option. And also improve the thumbnail apearance.

The speed of preview and open or manage multiple types of media files very fast, in one app, without browsing throug os explorer wich is not very intuitive or, not give you to much option when it comes too visualize the content of a file without open it. For me Adobe Bridge gave me more confidence when have to view or preview files that I can't do it in os explorer and didn't need to open them just for previewing. And it's a time saver.

Ease in adding images whenever adding images to my design work.

Can't think of anything. I like the app and the way it works.

Being able to add to my workflow efficiency. Saving time when working with Adobe apps by having all my images available in one place.

The ability to view and handle files, process batches and sort, label, rate files.

There is nothing I can express as a dislike.

Handling many design files and photographs at once. The ability to review, analyze data, rate, and classify files on a single screen.

Raw images load quickly & the zoom functions are smooth. It's easy to apply Camera Raw settings to multiple images at once. Rotating & sorting raw files is simple, but efficient. The interface is very pliable & allows me to preview multiple images at once. Bridge helps me keep all of my RAW files organized. Once files have been loaded & previewed, it retains the preview when you're switching between multiple images.

The batch export function from older versions of the software has been removed in the newer Creative Cloud editions. I find myself reaching back for an older version just to be able to send reduced JPEGs to clients & collaborators. In it's updated form the batch update opens Photoshop & can be a bit much with all of the popups & all. The Golden Brown color of the program is similar enough to Illustrator's Orange that I will often click on the wrong program on accident. Didn't it used to be a darker brown? Sometimes when it's left alone it starts to eat up CPU for some reason.

Viewing & prepping multiple RAW images. Comparing the clarity of multiple images. Saving & applying Camera RAW settings across multiple files. Bridge allows me to sort thousands of images in one folder by date, rating, & various camera settings. I

You can view files and images in the browser and then open them directly from Bridge. You can get a larger preview of the file along with detailed information.

There is really nothing about this product that I don't like.

When I look through my graphic assets and clip art disks it is really easy for me to find the file that I need and open it quickly. Saves time.

It's simple to use, outlines exactly where the files are and what program they use. I have found it extremely useful for organizing stock photos. I think it looks nice as well and that goes a long way when I have to stare at it for hours.

I really like it, its basically file management so there isnt a ton to change however, I think it gets outshined by Windows Explorer when comparing non Adobe files. I also oo wish it worked with dropbox as i keep a substantial amount of files in there for work.

Streamlining graphic design processes. As a group sharing graphic assets and taking turns working on files, Bridge has been a great addition.

I love that Adobe Bridge can help you easily find that "needle in a haystack" file with speed and accuracy, and utilizing methods that are right for each individual. I love that for me, as a visual person I can make the thumbnails as large or small as I want them really and find exactly what I'm looking for.

When I am looking through a folder with lots of large files this can be a bit time consuming and sometimes take quite a while before Bridge stops cycling and spinning and actually shows you all thumbnails of the folder you are working in.

Bridge helps me find files faster and sort when needed.

I like that you can quickly organize and cull photos when batch editing which makes the offices so much faster. By using hot keys, I don't even have to bother with my mouse and can narrow a collection of a few hundred or more photos down to the few I to edit and deliver in no time. Then I can access all my editing software from Bridge which streamlines the whole process therefore saving me time and money.

Bridge isn't necessarily the most aesthetically pleasing software. The preview view of your photos can be frustrating when the magnifying view pops up because I never use that feature.

I'm solving organization and workflow issues. Now I can access all my photos for a client in one place and easily work through them to select and edit what will ultimately be delivered.

Love the flexibility of this application, you can customize the views of every area. Photos and different file types.

Program can crash under very heavy use.

Organization of thousands of files and photos. Being able to categorize and sort by type, rating, metadata etc. have really helped.

I love how it integrates with the rest of the Adobe line of products. It's a must have tool for anyone using anything Adobe!

None that I can think of. I'm sure there's something that others could think of that could be fixed but I use it everyday and have had no problems since it's first release.

Bridge allows you to work more efficiently and seamlessly when designing. The ability to see graphical image of each file alone is a reason when use it for an artist!

Bridge provides essential asset management and coordination among the Creative Suite/Creative Cloud applications, allowing previews of all file types (including video), keyword and other metatdata management, and is the hub of a full design workflow. It is also deeply integrated with the Adobe design apps, handling global color settings, editing of raw digital images and automated image export through Photoshop. Bridge allows for sorting, viewing, rating, labeling and categorizing graphic and video files in a number of different ways that make it a constant companion to any design workflow.

It has been somewhat neglected until recently, and good tutorials on its use are few, making it harder for beginners to learn and effectively hiding a great deal of its usefulness.

Digital asset management for single designers or workgroups is a constant problem which Bridge addresses with many different tools. The ability to view, manage and track files with Bridge greatly increases throughput in a work week.

Keeps track of files, images, and just about any other digital content I use for creating projects within a CS application. Easy to use. Keeps me organized.

The only supported image export format is jpg. Searches are limited to assets listed within Bridge. Needs better template support.

I use adobe bridge to keep track of files and keep things organized.
