DESCRIPTION

The Adobe® Bridge CS3 2.1.1 update includes the following fixes and enhancements:

• A new preference to enable High Quality Preview has been added to Bridge's Preferences > Advanced panel. When enabled, the preference addresses the problem of a soft or blurry preview appearing in the Preview panel and in Slideshow mode.
• Data loss that could result from replacing a folder with another folder by the same name has been prevented.
• Issues that could cause Bridge to crash (for example, when encountering a PDF or AI file) have been corrected.
• A problem that could cause Bridge to lock up when using arrows to navigate has been fixed.
• XMP data is now handled correctly when added to CR2 files.
• A problem that could cause the Loupe tool not to be available after exiting from Slideshow mode has been corrected.
• Rapid clicks to select multiple files are no longer interpreted as a double-click, so unintended opening of multiple files is now reduced.

All components of Bridge must be updated to provide stable and robust performance. The following components (released previously) provide important updates to search and collection functionality:

• Adobe Version Cue® Client 3.1.0 update
• Adobe Asset Services 3.1.0 update

If you are using Adobe Version Cue Server, the following update is required:

• Adobe Version Cue Server 3.1.0 update.

These updates can be found via the Bridge Help > Updates menu.

ALJUK  Dreadful.

Photoshop integration has vanished, and Bridge no longer "sees" stored Photoshop actions, so batch processing is now non-functional.

Stock Photos doesn't work at all.

Bridge initiates an internet connection when you do ANYTHING (eg. click on a local image, open a folder) which slows it to a crawl.

CS2 Bridge worked fine, CS3 Bridge is total crap. And to make things even worse it can't be uninstalled without deleting the entire suite.

ANONYMOUS  BRIDGE 1.0.3 DOES NOT CORRECTLY INSTALL THE RAW PLUGIN. To remedy, download the latest ACR update you want to use, then drag the plugin to Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Plugins/CS2/FileFormats, and replace the corrupted one.

ANONYMOUS  Try Photo Mechanic.

It's $150 but it's so much faster than bridge at processing RAW previews and comparing files, it's nuts.

ANONYMOUS  Maybe 1.0.4 will fix the mess that 1.0.3 has given us,

on top of RAW plugin problem now the large image window in Bridge shows only a postage stamp size image. Un installed 1.0.3 re installed 1.0.2 and the stamp size image is still with me ........

Please folks, (Adobe), so much else is so good, but Bridge is pivotal and yet it is slow and now down right

disappointing and difficult.

BOB  I'am getting sick and tired of these updates that start problems that where'nt there before.

Everything on my Mac worked fine until this upgrade.

Now Bridge starts up with an error that gives no information whatsoever.

thanks!

TOURNESOL  This app is so painfully slow that I'm wondering what the hell it is they update from time to time. This is really embarrasing Adobe! Startup time is probably the worst of any app I have run on OS X. Pathetic!!!

PETER  These bridge updates are starting to really annoy me as they are always over 40mb and they never seem to make any difference to the program. The program is still as memory eating and slow as ever.

ANONYMOUS  Something might be up with your system. It widely reported that the 1.02 update significantly sped up startup, and I experienced that improvement myself, with a timer.

ANONYMOUS  All seems well and good - but the updater messed up my Camera Raw plugin install. Thankfully I got an error message about it on first launch.

A quick reinstall and all was fine.
