Amazing, I’ll give this a try for sure!
Hope you blow up great content❤
FRIST ONE TO COMMET
I took photography and people dont understand how difficult it is
The daily vlogs have shown me that you have like 3? Brothers. Legit had no idea you had fam out there, I thought Cali was just a new spot for you and turns out, it's where the family is. Good to see some content dude. Hope all is well!
4 brothers! And 2 sisters. Haha Yup. Dad is originally from out here and brother moved out here about 8 or 9 years ago. So I finally chased em. Still have family in Utah too. Btw, these are old vids from last summer I’m just getting caught up on sharing to YT
@ oh gotcha! Also I would have lost all of this footage by now so props to You finding them and posting em. Hope all is well dude
Wow
What
I subscribe bro. Thank you man. Thats it. Keep doing videos, just like this, Please!
Thank you my friend. I needed this. Expect tons of new videos in 2025
@@kelaidiscope I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks! Can I ask you a question? How do you retain all metadata while exporting from Bridge to Lightroom? I didn’t succeed so far :(
Looks great! One thing I'll add is Bridge does have a great photo importer feature that lets you do batch renaming, add metadata, and copyright info all at once, and you can delete all the photos on the card automatically once it is all transferred. Very helpful stuff. I import to a cloud folder where i go through and delete all the bad photos, and then I have a large local backup option that Bridge can automatically save to during import.
Very helpful, thanks man. I like the way you deliver the instructions. Easy to follow and very clear Keep it up Mikal
Thank you so much. Very kind of you.
Brilliant
Dang I was looking for this
I’m glad it found you
Still a no.
Why
Great vlog
The one thing that Lr and LrC have when it comes to culling the for some unfathomable reason Adobe have not put into Br is auto-advance. holding shown [Shift] in Lr or have [CAPS LOCK] on in LrC means using the flag and reject shortcuts for culling is much slicker. It 2024 now Adobe, come on!! I also take your point about LrC catalogues taking up storage, but I've been shooting and using LrC for 15 years and it database and catalogue in invaluable.
Thanks Mikal - I’m just getting on-board with this after a trip to Sicily. I have what is probably a very basic question: With "Finder" on my Macbook Air, I can access the original photo files (Macintosh HD > Users > “username” > Pictures > Photos Library.photoslibrary > originals) that otherwise are accessed through the Photos app. To get to the "originals" folder, I must right-click on the .photoslibrary directory and select "show package contents" to get to the "originals" folder. I cannot seem to get to this directory in Adobe Bridge. In the "pictures" directory I see the .photoslibrary, but cannot get any further. A work-around is to export all of my photos from the Apple photos app to a separate directory, but that doesn't seem to be the most efficient. Would you have any other ideas?
It's amazing that a lot of people don't know this trick
for a workflow like this, why woudlnt you just edit in Bridge using camera raw. The UI is slightly different but you have all the same tools as lightroom for editing
TBH I haven’t found a good answer to this question! I started using Lightroom first, then learned bridge. So I think that’s why it carried over. Haven’t used camera RAW much.
grate content lads,im 47 from the uk and its never to late i started photograpgy again 2 years ago and standing at tracks like cadwell park and donington with kids doing the thing i feel well ouit of place but iv got the bug again and i love it .
Means the world that you watched this! Love your message and your journey. Can I ask how ya found the video? I’m new to all this 😅
@@kelaidiscope im always looking for people doing motorsports photography content to see what there up to and yours just poped up on my page.nice to see whats going on over the pond ,
🔥
🔥🔥🔥
Why would you use we transfer and not Lightroom’s inbuilt share folder/photo feature?
For delivering to clients? It’s the best and easiest way I know how to transfer large files. They get a temporary link, that looks like an online gallery and can download what they want! Is there a function in Lightroom for delivering photos to clients?
@@kelaidiscope There is an option to share the link of your album with the clients. Then clients can download the photos. I am unsure if it is of the same quality as WeTransfer.
@atulkhera2 I see! I also don’t use Lightroom to store or organize my photos. Everything gets offloaded onto a hard drive and a cloud storage solution and I regularly clear out Lightroom. Just my workflow as of now.
Awesome video! Good to see u happy dude!
Hey, thanks!
Absolutely amazing!! Hit me in all the feels! I love all your work!!!
Great video Mikal and welcome back!
Thank you friend!
Great Video Mikal
Oh man. Means the world to me. Thank you.
Beautiful.
Thank you Zakki. ❤️
This is incredible. Got me right in the feels, well done. ❤ “He has a BMW”
That really really means a lot. Thank you.
All the feels over here. Beautifully done. 🎉
Hey co-star!
So so good Mike!! Literally got a little choked up.
Thank you so much
Dude so good! How did you vlog in the airport?! SAVAGE! Best vlog yet
Only took a year of peer pressure.
la cartella desktop è bloccata (lucchetto) su Bridge 2023. come diavolo si sblocca?
Good tip
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the super helpful video 👏🏽
Glad it was helpful! That makes me so happy to hear!
The problem with this method is you still have to import everything before you start to cull, ideally you want to cull before you import.
Import into where? The idea here is to cull before you import. It also may be preferential to always keep ALL raws.
Super helpful brother Just finished my first commercial wedding shoot yesterday and was looking for guidance on the same thank you so much
I’m so happy this helped! Thank you for your comment.
Mikal, pleasure to meeting you here. I'm so happy you've decided to open your channel. If we get to meet someday, I will tell you how I've (miraculously) found you here. I'm watching all of your videos tonight (is 9:30 pm, just a few more to go.) Warm regards from the Bay Area, SF.

When I go to drag selected photos into Lightroom Bridge still brings all the photos from card. Super annoying. Can't solve it as of now.
Are you on a mac or PC
@@kelaidiscope MAC?
I keep running into the issue where I select the starred photos (like 70) and drag them to lightroom, but instead of just opening those to add to lightroom it opens all 800 or so files. Which would be very inefficient obviously. Been googling so much to try and find a solution😭
Are you making sure to use the Filter Panel? Or are you manually selecting the starred ones.
@@kelaidiscope omg I finally got it, thanks to another video actually. I had to scroll down and within all those 800 the right ones were selected, it just didn't show x selected anywhere. Thank you so much for your reply though!! And really great video! I discovered bridge about a month ago and you showed me a few more useful things!
Would there be a reason to have a folder for the ones you picked to edit? Trying to think ahead as much as I can for the future if I need to go back and access something. Thoughts? Also do you go back and delete any? Your tutorial was very helpful! Thank you =)
So I’m some cases, I do have a folder called “selected” within the RAW Photos folder. It’s case by case for me, some shoots I want all the RAWS, other shoots I take my selected, edit them, deliver them, and delete the remaining RAWS that weren’t 5⭐️ Happy to hear you enjoyed it thank you for watching!
Very helpful. Thank you!
I’m happy it helped!
Do you have a backup option for cloud too? Interesting to see what others use, as I've been in situations where hard drive photos have been lost, so now I (of course, naively!) copy to multiple locations, and a cloud (some which allow sharing options to socials so you're not clogging your phone of storage too!)
Sir, when you export your photos to the folder on your External HD will Lightroom find those photos if I want to re-visit them for future editing.
Yes, you can just search for them on the hard drive. Even just use the finder to locate the photos you want, click and drag and pull them into the Lightroom icon
Very helpfull video. Thanks! As a matter precaution, I never move or delete photo's from an SD Card, but always format the card in my R6 once I have copied what I need onto the Mac. That way, I have to think carefully about deleting and therefore not delete something accidently. Formatting the second card is an added safety net. Lastly, formatting the card in the R6 prepares it freshly, specifically for the R6. Think about it - that's something that I was taught at a photography course.
The part about rating photos 5 stars or 0 stars will be helpful.
Time saver for sure!
Hey Mikal Do you have a prest pack to recommend? Im looking for quit a long time but cant find the perfect one.
Google “G Presets” I really like those ones.
Super helpful! As I am taking more photos, organization is becoming a hassle. Realized I had Bridge for months and never understood to use it until now
When I hit "5" it searches for an image with "5" in the file name. Anyway around this?
So by default you have to push command + 5, but you can turn off the setting that requires cmd for shortcuts
Thanks for this to tell you, it helped a lot. Did you know, that you can edit in Adobe Camera Raw right from adobe bridge? You do not even have to open Lightroom!!!
I did! However I have presets that I use and I rely on the masking and healing tools a lot in Lightroom. I think, and correct me if I’m wrong, but camera raw only has basic light and color correction tools.
@@kelaidiscope with camera raw you can do everything, what you can do in Lightroom, choose your presents, selective masking, etc. Its even better, because you can mark a couple of pictures, then go to camera raw and edit them all at once. It’s much faster and more convenient. I love it.
I will certainly check it out! Thanks!
