Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

If you have a lot of content (photos especially) that you need to organize and be able to sort through easily then Bridge is the product for you. The tagging system is truly awesome. It gives you the freedom to get as specific or broad as you choose making searching through your content easy and quick.

There is a bit of a learning curve and it takes a while to set up fully.

I work with a large number of photos from specific locations with specific people. Bridge allows me to add tags to my content so I can navigate thousands of files easily, quickly, and how I want to search.

I like how it organizes and renames everything at once. It groups things and makes it convenient for the users!

Nothing really. Just like all of the creative cloud it does take some extra time in getting the software figured out, but after a while it is great!

Organizing mass amounts of files. We have thousands of files through our mass comm. department that needs renaming or organizing!

That it shows thumbnails of EPS files! I have a ton of stock vector files and the only way I know which one I want to use is to preview the files in Bridge.

The interface is pretty confusing and seems to have way more features then i'll ever use.

Mostly just using it as a way to preview vector/EPS files. The majority of the artwork I deal with is vector and my operating system does not generate thumbnails of these types of files. Without Bridge I'd have a heck of a time finding what I need.

great with camera raw files and the ability to do quick image edits.

can be very slow. for example batch keywords takes a long time. It has most of the same functionality as Lightroom but you need to know where to find that functionality.

we needed software where we could quickly flick through our camera RAW images.

Prior to using Adobe Bridge, my image files were a mess. Everything was disorganized and it was a point of stress for me. Now, things are much more streamlined! I also like that it links with Photoshop (and does so really well! I've never had any hiccups with the linking of files) and it's especially helpful when I have a number of files to bring into Photoshop.

For my uses, I haven't run into any issues with the software. It achieves exactly what I need it to!

As a wedding photographer, I take thousands of photos at each wedding. With Bridge, I can sort via time captured and that is most helpful for me. It helps organize my files and thus deliver them to my clients in the order of the day's events. It also really helps me with time management, of which is key for a business owner! I feel like this software allows me to take hours off of my photo editing and delivery process.

I like that I can use Adobe Bridge to organize all my visual and audio assets, that I have in various places like my external and internal hard drives.

I find that some files are not indexed properly by Adobe Bridge, and I have checked the files and they are not corrupted.

I use Adobe Bridge to catalog and index: - Audio files (WAV, MP3) - Video files (MP4, AVI) I find it useful to be able to search and order by length and titles, and sometimes other metadata. It has found files that I could not find in My Computer.

Soluciona el gran problema de buscar archivos PSD cuando no sabes exactamente que nombre le has puesto, ya que con Bridge puedes rapidamente ver una miniatura de todos tus archivos y buscar facilmente lo que necesitas

Es solamente un parche para una limitacion del formato de archivos de Adobe, lo mejor seria que disponibilizaran el plugin para creacion y visualizacion de miniaturas de sus formatos en Windows sin ningun programa acdicional

Buscar y encontrar los archivos de la suite Adobe que necesitas.

I've found this is the best way for me to be able to preview the large image files, PSDs, etc. that our graphic designers and photographers send over for review. Bridge allows me to preview these files in a grid view/thumbnail view without having to open each individual file. This is also a great way for me to rate images on a 1-5 star scale within Bridge then sort by star rating.

When Bridge works, it's great. When it doesn't, it's extremely frustrating. I find that it crashes quite a bit when loading previews to very large images and the load times can be really long. It also can take a long time to cache folders if you're doing a search. For example, now that we're adding more metadata to the files such as keywords, the search function can take a really long time to perform it's job. Or I've even had the program crash before when trying to do a simple search. But like I said earlier, when it works, it's great. When it doesn't, it's extremely frustrating.

Bridge allows me to preview preview the large image files, PSDs, etc. that our graphic designers and photographers send over for review. Now that I don't have to open each individual file, it saves me a lot of time. We've also been taking advantage of the metadata fields recently.

Works well for multi-users across servers, unlike Lightroom/C1/etc. It's an easy tool to use to make selects, color rate, etc, though unfortunately those settings aren't transferred to folders/finder. It works well for folder-organizational set ups. If you're approving or managing other people's work, the Filmstrip view is a good way to do quick previews.

Ultimately, I feel like unless you're working across users/computers/on a server Lightroom can do most everything Bridge can, but more. Though it is marketed as a DAM, I can't really say it's a great one or an ideal solution.

Multi-computer/user use for organization. Loupe tool is nice for doing quick proofs of otherwise unorganized files.

I am not entirely familiar with Bridge, but it allows me to add stars to albums of photos to distinguish 1-star photos (not good) from 5-star photos (great) for ease of use.

I do not like that it takes a long time for photo previews to load. That could be a personal server problem rather than a Bridge problem.

Without Bridge, it would be impossible to categorize all the different photos from different photoshoots that my company manages.

This program does it's job just as it is supposed to, makes using Adobe Photoshop a sinch!

It's a little confusing to view, it could be organized a little better to be easier on the eyes.

It helps organize, format, categorize and embed all files in association with other Adobe programs, primarily Photoshop for my purposes.

As a designer and creative person, I'm not necessarily the best at organizing all of my files. Thankfully, I have Bridge to help navigate layouts, support files, folders at a glance more quickly and easily.

Although Bridge is beneficial, sometimes it's not quite a necessary software app for me. At least, not on a daily basis like the rest of Adobe Creative Suite. For my usage, sometimes Bridge seems to be a more intuitive version of the various Finder window views when I'm needing a quick overview of all the files on my Desktop.

When used on a more regular basis, Bridge does allow me to save time throughout the workday/week. Having all my files organized and in front of me through Bridge helps manage time more efficiently. As opposed to searching folder after folder and server after server to locate files that I need.

I`m learning how to use different Adobe softwares, and it is a great side software for managing data, easily access photos and other files. Although, I feel like this software knows more than that and I still need to explore it.

I believe it came with the purchase of Photoshop or it is even free, I`m not sure. But it is not that essential that I would pay extra for it.

We use some Adobe programs like Illustrator and Photoshop to create some designs and marketing materials, and beside those softwares it is useful to have Bridge because it helps to make the work faster.

Easy way to manage, organize and view my data that I store on my Mac, also it helps me easily connect the files among Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects.

It is a helpful tool, practical. There is nothing that I would particularly dislike.

The program itself doesn`t make my business better or more profitable, but it saves me time when I`m looking up items when I use other Adobe tools. So it is helpful.

Adobe Bridge is a library of all things creative. I love that I can sync, link, and manage all my creative files in one place. It reduces the task of searching for all my files through my native device and it also allows me to retrieve my files through the cloud. I think what I enjoyed most, however, is the sharing of symbol libraries. This allowed remote teams to have access to my latest collection of UIs developed for my project. Everyone in the design team was always on the same page with the design execution that discrepancies lessened.

With an application like this, the system gets overwhelmed with multiple options. This is not something of a surprise because Adobe is well-known for its robust products (Adobe Illustrator, Adobe, Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop...) I try to stick with the basic tools that are necessary for my day-to-day task but seeing those options lie around in my periphery can be just as overwhelming. So getting to understand the use of those tools would be my number 1 challenge.

As I mentioned above, Adobe Bridge allowed me to stay in-sync with my remote team. We are a global team working from 6 different international and domestic locations so updates do not happen frequently enough to prevent design discrepancies. With Adobe Bridge, we closed the gap on this issue and improve our collaborative efforts.
