Adobe Bridge Reviews & Product Details

Quick loading times, the ability to customise your view and 'at a glance' look at files.

Not much, there was once a bug regarding file names not appearing through an accidental key combination, but this has been fixed.

Much quicker and easier than the standard file management software such as finder and explorer.

Bridge provides a great interface for rating and sorting all of your creative content

Adobe has left the interface alone when it comes to bridge. While it is customizable bridge looks dated in comparison to the rest of the creative suite.

Bridge is the solution for navigating media assets in one window. This is a huge timesaver while working on projects that require multiple media types or from multiple vendors. A fantastic desktop digital asset management application.

I love using adobe bridge to organize and preview files when using other adobe products. The company lor codes by is helpful as well as the ability to edit the metadata and add tags for easy searching and sortibg

It would be more helpful to be able to add additional colors to the color codes

File organization. Great high resolution previews of files without having to open the files up in photoshop/illustrator/indesign. I also often use the batch rename process. We get files in from vendors without our item number alpha codes on the file name. Bridge batch rename makes it a snap to quickly add this code to the front of the name. It is also a helpful program to use if you want to know the camera details of how the image was shot.

Being able to use batch processing functions, it's great for organizing and visualization of your files and assets. You also have a great tool with the file renaming, that comes in handy quite a bit.

Can run a little slow with extensive media libraries, the load times can be pretty hoggish when you have a lot of high resolution or raw files.

Mainly to manage our assets, images, photos, etc. It's much better than any native folder viewing.

Bridge is able to quickly let me find images and see their info. I'm able to know the size and see close up details in images.

Sometimes it's slow reading raw image files. The user interface still needs work.

I'm able to quickly see images our photographers have taken. And all at once. Instead of looking at each image separately in a finder window.

I've always used Bridge, at the very minimum, to sort through raw images from my camera. Although it is appreciated, the rating/sorting system isn't much different than similar image previewing software like Google Photos or Mac's Photo application, but I think the most used feature that I find convenient is its nearly seamless integration with the other applications in the suite, specifically, Illustrator and Photoshop.

For the purposes I need it for, I'd say I don't have any major qualms with the program. If I were nitpicking, I'd appreciate a preview included with the contact sheet options window.

Bridge cuts down the time of editing and organizing images. It provides a more efficient way to root through hundreds of raw images from a shooting a way to batch edit if need be.

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 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.

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.

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.

I can see all images quickly. I like the batch tools.

That if you're using Illustrator Photoshop, you accidentally open Bridge if you hit the wrong button in the Open menu and then everything is frozen until Bridge opens.

I use it to edit batch photographs for web design or creating a photo library.

It is an all-in-one system for designing graphics, video, audio, and web elements. You have access to fonts, stock photos, templates, and more. It's completely essential to working graphic designers, photographers, and those needing to produce digital or print materials.

While it is helpful to have a toolset this powerful, Cloud has a stranglehold on the industry and nearly a monopoly on the graphic design industry. When you are dealing with large books, magazines, etc. there are no other acceptable choices, which means you have to pay what ever Adobe asks, which is a lot.

Cloud makes it so you have one environment that your team can be in where you don't have to worry about different desperate file formats or lack of communication between applications. Everything just works. In most apps, you can cut and paste between formats, so you can cut and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop or InDesign, and it just works. Everything will have the same Font set, and it will use (mostly) the same shortcut keys. It is ideal for creating streamlined workflows for making digital, print, audio, video, etc.

I like that they offer so many app options and are continueley improving them.

I'm disappointed that Pantone colors are no longer available. I also feel that the price should be adjusted... it's too high.

I like that their programs integrate fairly well. There are lots you can do with the programs...just need to watch some videos to learn how.

For anyone using large amounts of still images, whether they are photographs, illustrations or assets for projects. Bridge is an amazing organisation and processing tool. From sifting through batches of photographs to select the right one to an amazing tag system to find what you need quickly.

Make sure your hardware and software are fairly up to date! Bridges big brain power takes a hefty part of your processing speed. If you are new to the program there is a short uncomfortable period of getting to know it.

For me, travelling a lot, it helps me find what I need to with all the photographs I end up with! Travel photos, portraits landscapes and texture shots are easy to find with the tagging system. Key words are a lifesaver.

Bridge is a great place to manage all your creative files in one place, live previews make it so much easier to find what your looking for

The search function is really not up to much, I can search in bridge and not come up with any results, yet i can manually go to the folder and find what i'm looking for

The number one benefit is being able to see everything in one place

Adobe Bridge comes with the package and a lot simpler as compared with other adobe software that requires a separate installation. It provides access to all image files saved in the storage as well as raw camera files that are unaccessible using a regular explorer.

Limited ability to sort and categorize files and startup when unnecessary. A bit confusing layout.

Search for files to edit comes easy with adobe bridge.
