Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

I just began using this software over the last year and a half and I don't know what took me so long. It it such a convenient tool and I use it daily at work.

I don't have many complaints about it. somtimes .png files don't always show a thumbnail preview and then have issues opening (I get error codes "cannot parse the file).

I am able to house a wide variety of images and files in one central location, and open/place said files throughout the adobe software programs that I use daily (indesign, photoshop, illustrator). It is such a time saver to do it this way rather than opening files separately and copy/pasting them into a different location, which is what I have done in the past

Everything is all right there at the palm of your hand. So many things you can do through bridge.

I'd love to see even more features added on.

Ease of bulk file changing and image processing is so convenient. Saves me so much time.

Ability to easily add keywords and sort accordingly.

Difficult to copy and paste into a Windows Explorer window

Default delete settings is to send to Recycle Bin instead of permanently delete

I like the ease of use! My favorite part of Bridge is being able to easily search through thousands of pictures with keywords. As a current PC user, I can get extremely annoyed with how long it can take to find a picture in explorer, Bridge is a wonderful alternative.

There's not much to dislike. Bridge is an amazing program to use - especially when you have other Adobe products.

It is far more efficient to use Bridge over a finder or explorer window. The search tool and how fast the program runs are super beneficial.

The best thing about Adobe Bridge is the ability to label, rate, star, or sort files on the fly. This makes it easy to select images quickly after a photoshoot, batch rename, and preview quickly due to image caching. I don't believe I've taken full advantage of the abilities of the software, but it has been beneficial for what I use it for.

The image caching can take up a lot of space on your computer. If you're running low on space, it's best to clear your caches.

Adobe Bridge is useful for image filing after photoshoots, batch renaming, and organizing files.

The product provides a great platform from which to view all the images on my card. I can see the thumbnails before uploading the raw pics.

It would be better to be able to gather similar shots and have the ability to pick the best first off.

It's all about the speed of working through the images.

When you work as a designer among many other designers there are thousands of files on a drive that you have to look through to find something. It can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Adobe bridge makes that easier because I am able to see almost all my files no matter what type they are.

I can only see adobe files. I am unable to see my NedGraphics files which is unfortunate because so much of what I do is using that software.

This software helps you save time finding files. It can literally save hours because you can see thumbnails of almost everything and so you can save time because you don't have to open each file individually by click on each thing.

It integrates with Adobe Photoshop flawlessly. It is especially helpful when you have a large number of photos that need to be brought into Photoshop for editing. It's also great that you can do a lot of basic editing in Bridge, before it goes into Photoshop. It also works with Illustrator, though I've never used it for that. When I use Illustrator I will only work with one or two photos, if I use any photos at all. Because of that, I haven't really tested how well the Illustrator integration works. I suspect that it is probably as good as the Photoshop integration.

I truthfully haven't found anything I dislike. It might not be helpful for people that don't need to work with a lot of photos, and if your computer isn't great it will run slow. Neither of those are really the fault of the software though.

I use it to manage bringing photos into Photoshop. It works better than bringing in each photo one by one. I found that if I'm only working with one or two photos, it doesn't really help my workflow, but if I have five or more it's a real time saver.

What I like best about Adobe Bridge is the ability to Batch Rename a large number of images at once. Sometimes it's 10-20 images, other times it's 100-200 images, and being able to rename those files as well as customize the New Filenames area is significant to my workflow. I also like the ability to keyword my images which is important to the archival and digital asset management systems.

What I dislike about Adobe Bridge is that I wasn't aware of it earlier! Before utilizing the program I would rename everything manually and sometimes run into issues. Also, I wasn't keywording my images like they needed to. I should have been introduced to Adobe Bridge at the same as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

The biggest business problem I'm solving with Adobe Bridge is keywording. Applying those keywords to images is significant since there are other individuals navigating the digital asset management system to locate images. Without keywords, those individuals would have to contact me, ask me about particular images, and then I would locate them. Utilizing Adobe Bridge empowers others.

I like how thorough the software can be. I can find all sorts of important information with just a few clicks.

I find the interface to be less than inviting and intuitive.

We often times have to version our work, and we use a lot of metadata information for our files. Adobe bridge helps us keep track of all this.
