Mrs. Clark, you are a lifesaver. I've used Adobe Suite for 13 years now, but have always been apprehensive about using Bridge. However, as an author, screenwriter, and video producer, and now with nine months of AI work under my belt, I think I need to get to where I can better organize my workflow and work. All of my content is digitally online either as published works or submittals Your video has helped me stick my toe into the waters, so to speak, with Adobe Bridge integration; thanks.
Thank you Kathy, I followed you step by step . I have had this setup for probably 7+ yrs so I'm not sure how I did it. I appreciate how you did not rush thru this tutorial and went step by step. So helful.
Awesome tutorial Kathy. Your video was well planned out and executed. While keeping the content very informative your delivery makes it very easy to follow along. Well Done!! New Fan Here.
Thank you, very well done. Some or many people don't use P.S. so Raw has to be purchased separately. I for one use Bridge and then Gimp, I spent years using PS before retiring & now I only adjust in PS Express & Gimp. You are a very good teacher, wish you were around 26 years ago when I started digital. OBTW, I never used raw, high end jpeg never was turned away by any of my clients.
Hi Kathy, thank you very much for your detailed video. New version of Bridge and ACR has many new features that I've seen for the first time. Your video was VERY helpful. I have one question though, and there is no answer in your video.. In the Camera Raw Preferences, Workflow tab - you have set Space to "Display P3" value. Could you pls explain why you prefer this color space? Thanks a lot!
Good question, @duboweek. I used to use Adobe RGB as my color space. A year or so ago, I switched to Display P3. The greens and reds are supposed to be more vibrant. Most of my work is seen on a screen by my editors, students, and creatives. I project most of my work during programs on large screen TVs versus the older digital projectors. I rarely print an image so don't need that color space. Publishers convert the color spaces on my images to meet the needs of their projects so my processing color space isn't a big concern to them. So for me, the Display P3 color space works. Change that to the color space that meets your needs.
Do you have a video that demonstrates how to use Bridge? I am a photographer and would love to limit my workflow and not have to go through every single picture I take to see which one is best to edit! Thank you for your willingness to share!
Thanks for asking. Lessons 4 to Lessons 11 cover batch processing with Adobe Camera Raw out of Bridge. These are a bit dated, but the workflow is the same. Batch processing is so easy with Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Watch the videos and you'll see. Thanks for the reminder. I need to update that series of videos.
I'm soo happy I found you! I've been struggling with the Adobe products. I'm a beginner and shoot both raw and jpeg. If I open a jpeg file in lightroom, can I automatically bring it into PS or vice/versa? and what is the odd file that the photo is saved to after using camera raw?
Thanks for the comment, @SuzenBonnett. First, the odd file is called an XMP file. Keep it. That file contains all your editing information. Delete it and all you editing, metadata, and keywords disappear. To your jpg question, if you click on a JPG in Bridge it will automatically open in Photoshop. Most of the time you want to open that JPG in Adobe Camera Raw so you can use the sliders to process it. Use right click on a JPG file and select "Open in Camera Raw" from you options. That will open your JPG file in Adobe Camera Raw for processing. BTW, one day you will stop shooting Raw+Jpeg and just shoot in Raw. It's makes like a lot easier.
Hello Kathy, please forgive me for being off subject from your video, but I was hoping to catch your attention. At 68 years old, I’m a brand new photographer and I just bought a Canon R6 Mark 2 and am currently waiting for my back-ordered 200-800 Cannon lens to come in. I know just enough about shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to get myself in trouble. I was wondering if you use back button focus and if I should even worry about it in my learning the camera for bird photography. I have decided to only use full manual mode from the start to hopefully grasp the fundamentals and build on a good foundation and go from there. I’ve also heard that manual with auto ISO is a good choice. I appreciate your videos and your instructional style, which make it easy to follow along. I have tons to learn but have decided to jump in with both feet and your channel has encouraged me to give even the small things my full attention. Any basic recommendations at this point in my journey would be appreciated. All the very best. Joe
Thanks for the kind comment, @JdilpkleRS Yes, I totally believe in using Manual mode until you feel very comfortable choosing f/stop, shutter speed, ISO for bird photography. (I teach a Basic Photography class online that concentrates on this.) Regarding back button focus, it all depends on your hands. My hand didn't work well with back button focus on the DSLR cameras. My thumb was busy moving the focus point around on the DSLR cameras so it was occupied. On the R6ii, my hand hits that button very well. My thumb doesn't have to do many other tasks so back button focus works well for me. Back button focus all depends on your hands and the egonomics of the camera. Good question!
Hello Kathy, thanks for this video! I have a question about Bridge, Can I see in Bridge the .NEF files in my SD card directly from the camera, connecting with the proper cable? or I have to download them before?. Thanks and Greetings
Thanks for the question, @dgv1001 Yes, you can see the raw photos directly on your SD card. One the left side of Bridge, navigate of your SD card and it will open. Many people do this as an initial edit. I don't, though. I copy the photos from the SD card into a folder. Then I open that folder in Bridge to edit. BTW, I opened photos directly on my SD card today. I needed to use one photo quickly so it was simple to get it right from the card. Thanks for watching!
Is it possible to find a linked indesign file from an image or PDF ? for example, I have a PDF that is linked inside of multiple indesign files, but I don’t know which indesign files. Can I select the PDF and find the linked inDesign files? Like a where used feature. Thank you
I'm sorry that I can't answer that question for you, @Dorene_Oster I'm not familiar with InDesign so can answer. Let me know the solution when you find it.
Thanks for this just one question if you know why cant i use the star ratings it looks like it is looked . Iam using Adobe Bridge 2024 and have new macbook pro?
Thanks for the question, @kolbrungretarsdottir7300 I checked my Bridge and I can rate the photos with stars. Check Settings>Rating to see if there's anything on that screen. I don't see anything that needs to be checked but something might be in your version. Let me know if you find a solution!
@@KathyAdamsClarkthank you for your answer this is realy strange i have the same adobe Bridge on two computers it works star rating one iMac but not on the new Macbook Pro ! No possibility to rate not color or star ! If you think of anything else it will be really much appreciated ! Best regards fom Iceland Kolla
@@KathyAdamsClarkit is a disk that i store my photos on that i am working on . And i have lot of them and no on of them are working for rating the photos so strange i can work on the and save the changes ;)
I have the latest version of bridge. It looks different from yours in that there is no 'adobe bridge 2024' in the top with 'file,' Edit,' etc. It never stops generating thumbnails even though I let it finish. Next time I open the same file it starts generating thumbnails again. It' slow and unreliable and takes me a week to do what I used to do in a day. I have been on every forum and tutorial and cant find a way to set up the cache file that stops this problem. Can you at at least direct me to some info that my help me solve this? Great tutorial by the way. Thanks. Tony
Thanks for the post, @TonyinTownNZ. I feel your pain on the slow situation. I've only seen that when the computer has limited space. Either on the hard drive or on the external drive. I saw this last week while on tour in Costa Rica. One person could never get their photos to load. Turns out it was a space issue. Space meaning "scratch disk", hard drive, or external drive space. We Purged the Cache in Bridge, Adobe Camera Raw, and PS. Then we moved the photos to a new external hard drive. Problem solved for that person. Interesting that you don't see the "Adobe Bridge 2024" at the top next to File and Edit. Are you Mac or PC? On the latest Mac machines, the top tool bar will disappear until you put the cursor up there. Maddening to me so I don't have that feature activated. Let me know if any of this works for you. As an FYI, all my photos and documents are on external hard drives. My machines only have programs on them.
I am on a windows pc. I also have my photos on external hard drives, all 22,0000 of them. My previous version of bridge was fast and easy, no issues, and I am only doing what I have always done. I estimate it's taking me at least three hours to complete what I did in less than one hour with the old version. My cache is set up the same way and I do nothing different. Even trying to change keywords is literally taking hours. It used to take minutes. I see nothing good in this latest version of bridge. They should have left it well alone. Thanks for your kind response though. I guess I am stuck with it. Regards, Tony @@KathyAdamsClark
@@TonyInTownNZ that sounds horrible. Not like anything I've seen on my computer and those of students and friends. I'd suggest a delete and reinstall of the program. Something is not right. Give that a try.
Cathy question: I have just updated Adobe Bridge to 2024 version and for the first time I cannot drag and drop files or folders into bridge to review the images. Why is this not happening as this has always worked in the past versions?
Interesting, @yankeeshore. I had to try that to see if the same thing happened on my computer. I can drag and drop files into Bridge without a issue and drag them out of Bridge. No problems on my side. Anyone have an answer? Post in the comment. Let me know if you find a solution on your end.
I would assume you can, @AnthonySby43 I worked on a client's computer last week and they had the shortcut keys configured. I've never found a need so leave them as they are. Thanks for the question!
