Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

Bridge makes it very easy to see the specs of multiple images at the same time.

There really isn't much I dislike about Bridge. It's a very easy and helpful program to use.

This is very beneficial when all of the images need to be the same size and I can check multiple images at the same time.

Bridge is great for storing and sharing files with colleagues.

I wish there was a free version available.

Design and ad work

Love the ability to flip through folders of images or files and review, and select and build pages for a proof sheet to share. Extremely helpful for managing photos.

The only thing I dislike is that I have not had enough time to really plunge deeply into all of the possibilities this software provides!

Allows us to quickly assess client-provided images for resolution, size, etc. without having to open every single one. And then we can easily provide back a contact sheet of just the images needing attention.

I love being able to sort selects and tag them after a shoot. Always having to dig through hundreds a photo can be a pain. My favorite part about the software is the batch re-name feature where you can rename a set of files with a click of the button. It is great when sorting as well. Essentially this organization software makes my life easier.

Bridge can be hard to use and is not very user-friendly. You have to know what you are doing as soon as you open the program. Also, when I have a bunch of raw images to sort through, I notice the program does crash a bit. I wish it could move a bit quicker in that aspect and not crash so often!

We are trying to pinpoint images for our Photographer and quickly. Creating a contact sheet and tagging images are two of the most common features of this program that we use.

It's viewing capability, which allows me to view any format on my computer. I can rearrange items at ease, that usually I don't see under windows explorer

There's nothing to dislike about Adobe Bridge.

It allows me to maintain a clean work resource folder and It allows me to bookmark all my project folders.

Adobe Bridge is a software that every photographer should use. The possibility of tagging and sorting pictures is its hidden gem. This way, you can separate what works for you from the rest. Batch rename is also a very useful feature, allowing you to rename multiple files at the same time.

Also tagging. The system could be a little simpler for new users to get acquainted with. It is nothing absurd, but Adobe Bridge can get a little confusing if you are new to it. Batch export is also something that bothers me a little, it could be faster and lighter.

Adobe Bridge is a time saver for photographers. I can't do my work without it. I spend many hours tagging and separating pictures and if I didn't have Bridge, doing what I do with the workload that I have, would be impossible. I run a small photography business and Bridge is absolutely a must have.

The batch Photoshop feature, where you can open an image in Raw, make adjustments, and then copy and paste those same adjustments to all images. This saves so much time, and is even refined to spot adjustments, such as lightening a person's face--it will adjust that for each image when you copy and paste and select to include spot adjustments.

I don't like the zoom feature when I'm trying to figure out if an image is in focus or not. I can't zoom and scroll through each image. When I zoom it is so far in that I find it difficult to figure out what part of the image it is. Then I have to close that image, and reopen the next one to zoom in and move the cursor around to see if it is in focus. I think this could be more refined and user friendly as well as add the feature to scroll from image to image while zoomed in.

We have to turn around multiple images with lots of Photoshop and tweaks, and have found that sometimes we don't even need to open the image in Photoshop. We can use the healing/blending tool and spot adjustment tool right in Bridge, whereas before we had to open Photoshop to use the patch tool. This saves us so much time being able to do so much Photoshop work right in Bridge. We can get our computer work done quicker and get back to photographing!

I like that Adobe Bridge makes organizing files so much easier. Before using it, I use to organize my digital files in regular folders on my computer. As I gathered more and more files, it became really difficult to keep track of everything. But with Adobe Bridge, it is very easy, clear and convenient. The thumbnails are easy to scale and there are also many kinds of displaying the files. What I like the most is the batch function. I work with large amount of digital files and having to edit everything one by one in photoshop is a lot of work. With the batch function, I can use Action and edit everything all at once. Making contact sheets is also very easy and fast with Bridge. I also like that I can give different level of rating to my files so that it becomes clearer when I have to make final selections. With digital images, it is really helpful to use the smart object function, because it makes sure that I don't lose my original file, no matter how many changes I make.

Adobe Bridge has many simpler version of functions that Photoshop has. The overlap is kind of unnecessary in my opinion. If these functions already appear in Photoshop, having them in Bridge is a little distracting. I think the layout of this software will be much better without those functions.

I use it to organize my digital file and it works great

I absolutely love tagging my images. I have a huge library of stock images and this program has saved me tons of times because I tag images with keywords in Bridge. Then I can type in a keyword in my search bar and it'll pull up all the images with that tag. So, if I'm designing a "Valentine's Day" flyer, I can search for images I tagged as "love", or "couple" or "Valentine's Day" etc.

I haven't found anything that I dislike about the program. It's served me well and I'm sure there's a lot of benefits I've yet to learn from it.

This program has been a huge time-saving problem solver for me. I used to scroll through hundreds and thousands of images looking for the one I wanted. Now I just type in the keyword and have it in seconds instead of hours.

I like the organizational abilities of the program the best.

The default setting of the program has too many visible options- i’d Like it to be more simple.

It makes locating/choosing vector files a breeze on a PC since PCs don’t offer thumbnails of vector files.
