I can't be the only one... nope! I can't be the only one who has ever worked their tail off on a huge PSD file in Photoshop and accidentally saved all those juicy layers into a small file when resizing it for the web.
I know, I know, it's a workflow issue. But thank goodness for Adobe for building Workflows in Bridge 2022. This is an awesome new feature that will save me hours of time when exporting my large PSD files to JPEGs.

For the last several years my workflow has been: coffee, start computer, launch UA-cam, check for Blake vids, open Photoshop and get on with my day. U R the best!
I love it 😁 I've slowed down a bit on UA-cam. I have been putting more effort into f64elite.com and therefore have had to slow my uploads on UA-cam. I wish there was more time in a day!
Excellent. I use this function to export hundreds of developed Raws into JPGs for time lapse movie assembly. I used to use Bridge > Photoshop’s Image Processor but that tied up Photoshop for a long time and even made it difficult to use the computer for anything else while the batch export was happening. Photoshop kept popping to the front. The Bridge Workflow is much better. You can also sequence multiple exports so it produces both your Large and Small versions together.
This is perfect, because it doesn't tie up Photoshop ;) All happens in Bridge, so awesome!
We do hope that they make this available in Photoshop and end the confusion between Save As and Export and Quick Export, it's like those ppl never ran out of ideas when it comes to create a new export setting and call it something different!!!!
Can't believe I haven't seen this yet. I just created the same workflows in Bridge. Thanks for a great, instructive video Blake!
My pleasure 😁
I have so far avoided having to overwrite my master file but it is annoying and tempting to want to save!
Thanks for the info!
Have a good weekend!
Happy to help! It was a real eye opener the first 15 times I did it haha, but it didn't save me from the next 15 ;)
Thanks Blake. Although, the export presets tab in Bridge can do all the things that this workflow tab does except for the batch rename, which you'd have to run separately. But regarding the problem of accidentally overwriting the large psd file, I think that was resolved with the export function in Bridge, if not with image processor. I see this workflow tab as more of a "one stop shop" for batch rename, resize, append/replace metadata, change file type and a way to mix and match the combos to your liking and situation.
Had no idea, like batch rename and image rating, this may become my most used function in bridge!
For real! It's good 😁
As always, thanks Blake! I'm one of the "not if but when this happens to you" gang. This is definitely very useful. Looking forward to watching your classes at the PS VS 4. I opted for the VIP membership so I can watch all those valuable classes over and over.
Thank you! I love Bridge and it is nice to see some tutorials on it!
This is just awesome !! I have created the same workflows while watching along; exactly what I needed !
Merci ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
I've always tended to ignore Bridge but, like you, objected to the convoluted process for saving the jepgs for different uses. Just downloading Bridge! Thank you!
Interesting, I never saw someone use LG before. I'm always using HR or LR for High res or Low res, and Web for obviously web.
Thanks for sharing btw. Clear tutorial, gives good insight in how to use it.
Nice.
Adobe Bridge is at the center of my workflow. I love it.
I tried Lightroom but can't stand how fussy, controlling and needy it is. Like sharing a life in photography with a mother-in-law.
Hahaha OMG, yes! Finally the words to describe Lightroom that everyone can understand 🤣🤣🤣
As for me too :-) During all these years, I have not even opened LR a single time. Bridge is gold :-)
Also a big fan of Bridge for the same exact reason. 😊
Thank you for all of your helpful tutorials!
This is FANTASTIC! Thank you. I use Bridge all the time because of you, but I didn't realize that I have this! 🎉🥳
Thank you! This really helped me in my work flow. its like creating an action in PS.
Very much so! And just as fun!
Fabulous Blake, excellent tip and will stop me saving my psd files as jpegs by mistake!
Woohoo! Another one saved, no pun intended 😁
I have had excactly the same issues as you describe, so this is definitely something I can use. Thank You!
Woohoo!
Russell Brown had a utility that did a similar thing - Image Processor Pro. But has not had any support for a long time.
This m ay be the next best thing.
Only problem with this is there's no option for output sharpening. At least I couldn't find it. I instead open several files in ACR / LR and batch-export using saved export presets.
Thanks for the info. Please enable the option to save to library.
I am surprised to find that this works with fuji raw file without using adobe raw!!
I found out by accidently send a raw file to the workflow.
Man, have I been looking for this? Yes, absolutely I have, thanks Blake
Glad to help! Its a life saver!
this was easily solved using actions. create an action for each save then an action that runs all of the one after another
True, for one image at a time. But not for mass amounts of images from say an event or something. Sure one could make a droplet but I haven't seen anyone use droplets in ages 🤣
This really is faster in the long run.
I'm so going to set this up. Thank you, DUDE !
Any time!
Of you still have the raw file no problem to save it again.
How can you mix between PSD and JPEG?
And if you notice on the spot just go back to history and revert et resave.
Hey Blake, I am following along fine until I get to the Task Details Tab. I don't have the option for any of the pull downs in the Preset Name, Text ect. ??? I have the latest version of Bridge... Not sure why I am stopped here. Thanks Sherry K
Me too I have the same problem. Bridge won't give me access to the drop downs on the Batch renaming section
Incredibly cool, thanks! 🍻
My pleasure!
Woot! Yes! About time.
Batching 400 to 500 pictures. LG and SM pics will save my some time now. Every min counts!
What a great function. Very handy.
Right?
What about the export option built into photoshop? It was added with the introduction of Asset Generator.
That’s what I’ve been using for years and works great.
It does, but for one image at a time. This can do several and doesn't tie up PS resources. It's all personal preference.
Nice addition.
I've been using Image Processor Pro (Russell Brown's modification to the included Image Processor) for years. It's both more and less functional than the new workflow feature, but it does take more setup.
I really enjoy how simple this is. Nice touch from Adobe.
Yes, me too, using it for years, never had a problem since I'm always making new jpegs from the psd file, and in the batch process, you can run an action (like sharpen) before the jpeg is created.
Interesting, and thank you. Personally I find using export in Lightroom to make multiple copies easier.
Certainly, I'm a Bridge user, but I appreciate you for adding to the conversation.
love the idea but when I open the workflow tab the window to click batch rename, it does not appear. it only appears after clicking the save button under workflow details.
Crazy ~ when did the user interface change? (I did hear you it just didn't sink in, old brain, not much room left) I have been doing a right click on my large image to interface with the Workflow process. I hadn't even seen that a tab had been added. Thanks!
Pretty cool new tool.
I would very much enjoy the Lightroom export function to work like this. Or, maybe Lightroom work with Bridge as the Library function.
If you mean Lightroom Classic, it already did most, or all, of this already. Which part is missing for you?
Thank you for sharing always interesting knowledge. Like Leroy Moore already wrote if you keep all our media in Lightroom Catalogo and you do something in PS they return to LRC, last year Adobe improve the LRC presets, and now you can export in one click to different formats.
I'm not familiar with any of that, lol, I don't use Lightroom, but thank you for adding to the conversation.
Ctrl + alt + shift + W - You can do the samme in photoshop 👍
how did it take them this long to solve this~! i used to use the batch tool in PS but sometimes with 1000 of pics a week even that had its issues
hey, at least they solved it :) haha
@@f64Academy agreed. 22+ year delivery date! I first had this problem on photoshop 4.0.
Hi, great video with some great tips. But I have a question. I save my PSD files un-flattened. If I follow your workflow in Bridge, how can I flatten the file first before saving it as Small-JPEG or Large-JPEG? Do I even need to? I understood that flattening a file saves space.
And I thought I was the only one who ever made that mistake …
Nah! We all do it!
Best tip ever!
Glad you think so too!
This doesn't seem to work with NEF files, or am I doing something incorrectly?
What about sharpening for size images, there must be a change in fine detail?
I don't think there must always be. I think it's image specific really. But no it doesnt do that that I know of.
Yep, been there. Thx❤
Sorry to hear that, lol, happens to the best of us!
Very Interesting thank you Blake
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this video Blake. Is there a reason why you use JPEG and not PNG 16 bit?
File size mainly. It's smaller for web.
Why do you save for web at 1200 (long side)? And why don't you change the dpi for web to 72, why leave the dpi at 300? Thanks! 😊
Dpi doesn't matter much really, Dave Ann image at 72 dpi and 300 dpi, the file size didn't change. 1200 is because my web site frame is 1200 pixels wide.
@@f64Academy Thank you thank you thank you for answering my question. 😊
I am 5 Mos late on this comment, but Blake I know you don't use Lightroom. But this is one of the things LR is infinitely better and less chance to overwrite work files when making jpgs.
That's great! I know it is far better, but, now I have an option too :)
I will use this a lot now. Thank you. Can I add a step to convert to sRGB in the workflow setup since my PSDs are in Pro RGB? BTW, do you know why when save a jpeg with the exif and export it without the exif at 6 the export is larger?
How do I save these workflows ? I just had to read Bridge because Windows needed to be reloaded, and I seem to have lost my workfows.
I'm not sure where Adobe saved them to
Can you briefly explain what advantage there is in saving as psd rather than tiff?
I prefer PSD because the file is native to PS, however, there is not much difference than that. Sometimes TIFFs can be larger, but it depends on how you are saving it.
New Lightroom solved this a few releases ago as well
Nice! Glad they ported it over to Bridge.
It would be even better if you could choose the colorprofile. Now it makes sRGB from my tiffs instead of adobe rgb...
Maybe they'll hit that in another release? It looks like there is a lot they could do with this, I think it will be evolving.
@@f64Academy It's also quite simular to the export function. Export to can make jpgs from rawfiles which I use a lot to make previews for clients. Workflow can not yet deal with rawfiles it seems
Lightroom does it also
This is a wonderful tip, but I have a doubt, lets imagine that I am working with Photoshop, but I don't want to save the PSD, as it is huge, so how do I do it straigh from Photoshop without saving the psd file first? I usually save a Tiff, then the large JPG and also the small JPG, and yes, the workflow is sooooo tedius! Thank you very , but very much Blake, this was wonderful to know! Best wishes and regards from Uruguay :)
Save the PSD first, for sure! You want those layers for the future.
I was using the export feature in bridge for this, but the workflow offers more options. Does it also change color space, ie AdobeRGB to sRGB when saving?
From what I gather it leaves the original color space.
Making a simple Save as jpg action is literally twice as fast.
Is it literally twice as fast, have you timed it :) haha, I'm playing devil's advocate due to the direct nature of your comment. I see what you mean and I have many save actions. I like this because I can batch save a LOT of images very quickly in an easy to use interface. Photoshops batch saving using actions isn't the most intuitive and I've had to experiment with it quite a bit to ensure the images saved go in the right place. This makes it very simple. YEs, I agree a save action for one, maybe two images here and there is faster, but what about 10 - 100? This feature is awesome for that and I would say that it is literally 10 times faster than an action in that scenario :)
Adobe Bridge has more problems than just this. My keeps resizing the window randomly whenever I open it. Have to resize the window and the other boxes inside bridge. It may happen the next time I open up bridge or it may happen on the 4th or 5th time I open bridge. Have searched all over regarding this problem in Windows 10 and found nothing on the internet.
Sorry, I have never seen that issue.
I have sort of this problem but with most win 10 apps upon 4k monitor wakeup. I wrote it up in the Microsoft Support pages. It had to do with monitor registry settings for resolutions, a new default resolution getting written on sleep mode, then changing the window sizes upon wake-up because it was on a different resolution on sleep. I've had it return after my last win10 update. But, this might be a newer issue if it's only Bridge. My other problem has been menu font sizes with 4k monitor, guess I have just gotten used to it.
@@f64Academy Thanks for responding but it sure has become a mystery for me.
@@petegerardini2455 Thanks for the response. I've checked all the settings in Bridge. I am using a BenQ monitor. All my other apps including Photoshop open as I have set them to do so. Only Bridge is the headache. It just randomly resets the window on open to the original size and not the height and width I set it at. My Monitor hasn't been in sleep mode either when it happens.
You could solve it with two actions right in photoshop.
Or one.
But then it ties up Photoshop ;) Also, those actions are convoluted and can be difficult for beginners to create properly.
The new export features that Adobe has been adding to Bridge, Camera Raw, and Lightroom Classic tend to be much more efficient than Photoshop save/export actions. Blake already mentioned that while actions run, they prevent you from using Photoshop. But the new exports run separately, so Photoshop is available to use. Also, Photoshop actions tend to run serially, as in one image at a time. But the new export features in Bridge, Camera Raw, and Lightroom Classic can run in parallel, processing multiple images at once by distributing them across multiple CPU cores.
but if instead of a psd I have a developed raw can I still convert it into large and small jpg?
Yep
If an image file is moved in Bridge is there any way for Lightroom to be synced so that it can be used?
I have no idea. If you use Lightroom, you are probably better off just using Lightroom
@@f64Academy Thankyou!!
Cool! Me and Bridge have had a rough relationship so I am sure I under-value it. Maybe I need to spend some time with it and "GiT GuD" 🙃
It has its pros and cons for sure! This is a huge plus for me, but you know how personal workflow can be.
@@f64Academy so true. But my "find a better mouse trap" approach isn't very effective. I really need to just dig in like I did with ACR/PS once I started studying with f64.
So much easier in Lr Export...
Thanks for adding to the discussion, it's now in bridge, yay, let's celebrate for us bridge people....
just wondering why the PSD file has no thumbnail?
Not sure why it didn't. When I reloaded Bridge after the tutorial I saw the thumbnail. Odd.
@@f64Academy I know PSD thumbs over a certain size won't show an image in windows explorer so I use Sagethumbs to get around that.
Just as easy as in LR
Lightroom (and photoshop) EXPORT : why not even mention them (both) ?
I don't use Lightroom and this is about one feature, not yet different ones 😉
@@f64Academy We are talking about the same feature ( in LR). And the similar Export options in PS (albeit not batch, in PS).
just use lightroom
All I see is a Russian monk explaining Photoshop ..?? Where is Blake ??! Anyway на здоровье (na zdarovye) !
Blake had a book that told him how to look for over 20 years... Now Blake wants to grow everything out for as long as his wife can stand it... Probably not much longer...
@@f64Academy Or there was a mixup in the makeup department ...This scene comes up much later 😱
