Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

The ease of sorting through photos. It's easy to label them with stars so you can go back and edit them in an order that is most time-efficient for you. The film strip view is what I use most often to sort through sessions.

I use it mainly for loading photo sessions and opening photos up into RAW Adobe photoshop. I've had no issues with it.

Easily can view my RAW files taken from my Canon. The colors are great, and the film strip view makes viewing multiple files at once a breeze.

Bridge is the most used tool in my daily work, especially the "preview" function, which helps me check all the stuff in a short period of time!

So far so good. I'm pretty satisfied with Bridge.

Most of the time, it takes 2-10 seconds to preview a file using the MAC default tool, but when I drag it into Bridge, it becomes very fast.

I use this for creating contact sheets and photo editing. I can select and export folders/photos for a project as a PDF to if I share like a lightbox from a digital assets library -or- print/present concepts as mood boards. It's also part of the Creative Cloud which I have an enterprise account with, so I am always up to date with current versions.

There isn't much I dislike about this software because it really helps me in day to day job requirements. Once I download/view from a digital assets library or dropbox, it's really the only way for me to view my selections. We used to use a program called Photo Mechanic but I like this much better. Also, Adobe LIghtbox is similar but I find it a more sophisticated program more geared to photographers and I'm a graphic designer.

It's also great for RAW photo enhancements, such as adjusting vibrance, exposure, contrast, etc. -- pretty much anything you would do in Photoshop but it allows you to toggle between the original and the edited versions. It saves a step by a quick shortcut command R.

The software allows for fast compilation of images and preparing of contact sheets.

The pdf combining makes the resolution very less. They need to correct that

Compilation of pdf image compilation

I use Bridge to browse & view raw, jpg, tif and jpeg2000 images. My DAM is based on organization of file storage, elaborate folder structure and naming conventions. No dependency on database, very straight forward. Easy to invoke Camera RAW, label, rate, filter by metadata.

Recent UI changes to filter panel made interface bulky, it was much finer previously, fitting more elements in the same screen area

Digital Asset Management

I love how well it works consistently, I love the loupe on multiple images! That pretty much my favorite part!

I wish is was a little faster at fully rendering images, but I understand why it's not.

It's the best tool imaginable for culling. Like I said before, the multi image selection tool where you can select a spot in each image is a life saver!

Quick and efficient with batch commands allow me to be efficient

Not maintained or updated by Adobe and that’s well recognized on forums

Use for everything and meta data

Adobe Bridge is a great tool for media management. I can see all my video assets from one platform.

There is nothing that I don't like about Adobe Bridge. It helps me in my daily workflow.

It helps me to work efficiently and more quickly.

Bridge made it easy to complete my task of changing thousands of photos from .jpeg and other file formats to TIFF for digital preservation.

There is a lot to learn to get the most out of this product so perhaps a steep learning curve? It’s not something you can just use intuitively.

This is used for mass photo editing, organization, and mass file formating projects. It is an incredible program.

Ease of use - intuitive layout, view options. Easy Batch rename + easy "undo" capabilities.

Sometimes slow load times. When previewing an image, it seems sometimes to pixellate, suspend load, and then freeze up when trying to select a different photo. This however, is minor in comparision to the robust options and abilities of this program.

I love the ability to import everything that I need, in one place, at one time! It really makes photo editing so much quicker and smoother than having to manually edit or import one selection at a time. It essentailly gives you a centralized access point to all your files for whatever project you will be working on.

Nothing in particular, other than the difficulty in accessing adobe stock from the application itself. But that is being really knit-picky.

We are currently utilizing this software to assist in cutting production time in half. Other applications that we've used in the past haven't been able to centralize everything like Bridge does, which honestly saves so much time it's incredible.

I love how you can manage noise and not lose sharpness in the process. This is my favorite tool to use as a designer/photographer because it covers every element needed for quick, professional retouching.

I like how simple it is, but it would be nice to have more heavy editing features to really make big changes.

Head shots, head shots, head shots.

Bridge is an excellent digital asset management software which acts also as a hub for all of Adobe Creative Suite. I normally use it to peruse photos that i've shot for clients or fine art projects and then open them in Adobe photoshop. I love the merge feature, which does a great job of creating panoramas from multiple images. I prefer it to Adobe Lightroom. It's simple and it works, very handy app .

I could not find how to force it to open images in photoshop 8, rather than the update, photoshop 9, in other words to change the default application for opening raw image and jpegs.

primarily the viewing, sorting and tagging of images and directing digital assets to be opened in the appropriate software for editing.

I am a photographer, so Bridge is perfect for viewing files before importing into Lightroom to preview them quickly with clients. I love that it is the middle man in between Photoshop and Lightroom right after offloading media.

I think some basic editing should be implemented into Bridge as well as a way to rate images with a 1-5 as you can do in Lightroom. It should also maybe be more cloud-friendly.

I am able to preview my images quickly with clients without going through the hassle of importing all images into a Lightroom Gallery or previewing them easily. I am given the images with the option of several layouts as well and I can rate them there. It will then sync over to Lightroom which is super handy. I can also use filters on the images and additionally open each photograph in Photoshop by double clicking. This helps me process in Camera Raw a little easier.

1. The ability to see multiple files at the same time. I use Bridge to sort through a folder of images, looking for just the right ones I need. Once I find a file I like, I can simply double-click to open it and start working with it. 2. You can also use Bridge to do quick and easy batch renaming. We have standard files for each project we work on that are templates, so when it comes time to work on them for an individual project, I can easily select the files in Bridge and rename them all at once—all the while keeping parts of the name that are important to individual files.

Every once in a while, it can be a bit tricky to find certain files within the program as it works differently than other Adobe programs. But that's a minor thing.

+ sorting through files to select certain ones to use + batch renaming

Importing, renaming and exporting to other Adobe software has never been so easy.

Can't even think of anything for this one!

As a photographer and content producer, it is VITAL that content stays organizes. Bridge makes this so quick and easy.

What I like the best about Adobe Bridge is the ability organize your projects so that you have access to files and pictures for one particular project. I also like the idea that you can use bridge to access the adobe website for fonts, and pictures. I also like that you can use a filter to narrow down your search.

There really isn't anything that I dislike about Adobe Bridge except that I takes a minute to load when accessing from your software and the bundle may be expensive.. Other then amount of time it takes to load from a different software and the cost of the product, I really do not have anything that I dislike about Adobe Bridge. In my opinion its a great product

I use Adobe Bridge for Graphic Design projects. When I am working with someone that has multiple project request, Adobe Bridge is used to help keep the projects organized. I also use Adobe Bridge to search for clip art and photos to use in project that I am working on. Its handy tool to have connected to the Adobe Software. So I the major benefit is accessibility. .

I like that I am able to convert files and make sure they are still great quality by using bridge

I dislike how long the catalog takes to load

We were wasting time and space saving multiple file types

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

Excellent for viewing anything with imagery. I use a MacBook, so in comparison to trying to preview any Photoshop file or large image, there just is no comparison. I also like how easily you can sort images based on ratings, file type etc. and basic camera setting info automatically displayed.

I wish you could open tabs like you can in Finder and switch back and forth between folders instead of only being able to view one at a time.

I utilize it every day when searching for image files, either large JPGs or PSDs. It's WAY more efficient that trying to search for a file in Finder with similar names, just different versions. I can also see what camera settings I've used on previous photos and compare. Also started using the star and sorting function, which has stream lined our photo editing process.
