Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

I can see all images quickly. I like the batch tools.

That if you're using Illustrator Photoshop, you accidentally open Bridge if you hit the wrong button in the Open menu and then everything is frozen until Bridge opens.

I use it to edit batch photographs for web design or creating a photo library.

It is an all-in-one system for designing graphics, video, audio, and web elements. You have access to fonts, stock photos, templates, and more. It's completely essential to working graphic designers, photographers, and those needing to produce digital or print materials.

While it is helpful to have a toolset this powerful, Cloud has a stranglehold on the industry and nearly a monopoly on the graphic design industry. When you are dealing with large books, magazines, etc. there are no other acceptable choices, which means you have to pay what ever Adobe asks, which is a lot.

Cloud makes it so you have one environment that your team can be in where you don't have to worry about different desperate file formats or lack of communication between applications. Everything just works. In most apps, you can cut and paste between formats, so you can cut and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop or InDesign, and it just works. Everything will have the same Font set, and it will use (mostly) the same shortcut keys. It is ideal for creating streamlined workflows for making digital, print, audio, video, etc.

I like that they offer so many app options and are continueley improving them.

I'm disappointed that Pantone colors are no longer available. I also feel that the price should be adjusted... it's too high.

I like that their programs integrate fairly well. There are lots you can do with the programs...just need to watch some videos to learn how.

For anyone using large amounts of still images, whether they are photographs, illustrations or assets for projects. Bridge is an amazing organisation and processing tool. From sifting through batches of photographs to select the right one to an amazing tag system to find what you need quickly.

Make sure your hardware and software are fairly up to date! Bridges big brain power takes a hefty part of your processing speed. If you are new to the program there is a short uncomfortable period of getting to know it.

For me, travelling a lot, it helps me find what I need to with all the photographs I end up with! Travel photos, portraits landscapes and texture shots are easy to find with the tagging system. Key words are a lifesaver.

Bridge is a great place to manage all your creative files in one place, live previews make it so much easier to find what your looking for

The search function is really not up to much, I can search in bridge and not come up with any results, yet i can manually go to the folder and find what i'm looking for

The number one benefit is being able to see everything in one place

Adobe Bridge comes with the package and a lot simpler as compared with other adobe software that requires a separate installation. It provides access to all image files saved in the storage as well as raw camera files that are unaccessible using a regular explorer.

Limited ability to sort and categorize files and startup when unnecessary. A bit confusing layout.

Search for files to edit comes easy with adobe bridge.

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.
