Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

I like that Adobe Bridge is intuitive. It's easy to navigate and cull my images. I've tried other software for this in the past and nothing compares. It may not be a one-stop shop like Lightroom, but I've found it to be the easiest and quickest platform for organizing, renaming, tagging and viewing my images. Nothing else that I know of compares.

I dislike that I can't edit in a fine-tuned way within the software. I realize I can apply presets via Camera Raw (Photoshop) within Bridge, but unless there's something I'm unaware of, I'm still unable to edit images in subtle and specific ways re: exposure, contrast, etc. I loathe the complexities of Lightroom, but feel Bridge could make a few upgrades and be the better, easier, more intuitive version of Lightroom for photographers!

I use Bridge to cull my clients' images (separate the good from the bad), sort them, rename them, label them, and distinguish which images were shot on my camera and which were shot on my second shooters and assistants' cameras. I use Bridge to rate my images, check my camera settings, rotate my images from portrait to landscape orientation, etc. All of these things are necessary for creating a quality product for my clients. Business problems solved.

I like how Bridge will show you everything inside of a folder, regardless of file format

I wish the thumbnails could be larger, but other than that...its great!

None

I love using bridge for all of the photo editing I do.

It can be difficult to open Camera Raw, which is the simple way I edit photos.

It's great to have a way to organize photos.

I use Bridge to browse my photo folders all the time. It seriously renders thumbnails at a lightning speed and helps to quickly sort through endless files.

Nothing is really to dislike. Bridge is a fantastic tool for anyone needing design program support.

Our servers are slow and even on a Mac thumbnails render slowly in Finder. In Bridge, they are lightning fast. Because of that, we save time having to wait through loading.

Being able to batch process my photos and files.

No easy option to export PDF contact sheets.

I deal with a lot of files that need to be stored.

Bridge is a powerful tool for us in digital asset management, allowing access to bring a visual view to a large set of files. This enables us to validate and either select or deselect a file for inclusion into the project, non destructively using either colour or star ratings

Bridge is like a web browser in some ways and needs to regenerate if you point it to another folder. It also does not create a catalogue which could be shared like Lightroom does.

Sorting large numbers of digital assets non destructively. Also the addition of Controlled keywords that are predefined.

Previewing images and easy navigation. Much better experience than relying on finder.

Slow load on full cache. Takes up a lot of RAM if you're not customizing settings and periodically dumping the cache.

Organizing our team's server and utilizing images and files for social media and publications. It's intuitive and quick to navigate and accomplish tasks.

How easy is to arrange and group images and edit in batch

It has a medium high learning curve, you have to invest a couple hours learning the trick in order to make the most of the software

Adobe Bridge allows me to quickly edit a huge number of pictures so I can upload them to any social network in a very short period of time.

I love the ability to create a proof sheet. In addition, the ability to view and Mark images as I edit them is very helpful.

The interface is a little clunky, needs some work integrating with other programs.

A great way to share proof sheets, and to edit images, it works seemless my with photoshop. I use them both together all the time.

The ability to look at files with a "preview" so you don't have to open tons of files to find the one you are looking for. The same goes for photos, keyword search is cool.

It does take some time to load the application, as it isn't the smallest sized app. It works well for a personal computer, but getting into larger servers, you could see some real drag.

Finding certain files or photos takes less time, so I am able to move through projects faster.
