Time saving image preview and batch renaming software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our business uses Adobe Bridge to view, sort, and tag images used in our client projects. It is an efficient way in viewing all images at a glance. We also use it to batch rename images from different stock libraries that use their own naming system to our agency naming convention (e.g., clientname_jobcode_sequential number).
Pros
  • Displays all images at a glance
  • Ability to sort images alphabetically or manually within a folder
  • Highlight images with star ratings
  • Batch renaming image files
Cons
  • User interface could be more friendly--currently it has a very techy feel
  • Sometimes it’s a bit slow to load the program initially
Likelihood to Recommend
Adobe Bridge is great for viewing, sorting, and short-listing images for use in projects. The batch rename functionality is another favorite feature that we use all the time. You can also tag different images by color or a star rating, and Adobe Bridge remembers how you manually order the sequence in each folder, which you can’t do in Explorer.

Adobe Bridge offers simple, easy way to batch process photos.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Adobe Bridge here in the office of Marketing and Communications for processing photos. It is very quick and enables us to process hundreds of photos quickly.
Pros
  • Renaming files
  • automation processes with Photoshop
  • utilizes adobe raw
  • great tagging features
  • can add metadata
Cons
  • occasionally quirky with renaming files
  • occasional slowdowns that go away after restart
Likelihood to Recommend
I love the workflow process we have set up with renaming, tagging best and worst photos (stars) then being able to select with colors.

We also use it to help find rgb vs cmyk photos when processing files for production.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Adobe Bridge mainly as an organizational tool. It's helpful to have a visual database to review and categorize files (mainly photography) during my workflows. Using the desktop folder structure doesn't allow for as visual of a process. I also use batch rename for large file name changes and auto contact sheet development for photography select review processes.
Pros
  • Batch Rename
  • Contact Sheet Development
  • Visual Navigation
  • Asset Organization
Cons
  • Speed and efficiency
  • Feels clunky at times
  • Could use more labeling functionality for files
Likelihood to Recommend
Adobe Bridge is very useful when we have large photoshoots and need to quickly organize our selected files for stakeholder review. Contact sheets are typically what is most useful for me, as well as labeling of files as we whittle down to our final selected images for approval.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am using Adobe Bridge to catalog all my images, videos, and other images I have that I use for compositing photographs, creating painted portraits, and videos for advertising. I have dyslexia and this makes it so much easier for me to categorize and catalog my vast library so I don't spend hours looking for things.
Pros
  • It saves me hours by quickly batch renaming files.
  • The ability to compare two or three images easily and zoom in on the minor details makes it so much easier for me to figure out which are the better files to work with.
  • Culling through hundreds of images to narrow down to the best 15 images can be done in just minutes.
  • It's a billion times easier to see the files and their file names so when you think you named something one thing and discover that you're past self was a dork for naming things incorrectly...it doesn't take you hours to find it.
Cons
  • It took me a while to figure out how to get Bridge to work faster. Apparently, you need it to cache your entire library and once that library is cached then it can refer to those files quickly.
  • It takes up more space on your computer and you should consider buying a computer with plenty of space and a great graphics card to help this program work at its best.
  • I wish it would recognize that firewall software and virus protection software isn't its enemy and work with them running all the time. This error doesn't always occur for me, but when it does, I am annoyed.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you're working with tons of files and different types of files and you have to keep them sorted out and be able to tell the differences within the files...this is the best option for you. It will make your life so much easier being able to preview everything quickly while seeing the small details.
I do know that some photographers are really happy with how Lightroom catalogs their images, but I think for anyone doing major compositing or video work, Bridge is hands down the way to go. It just saves you so much time and headaches.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Adobe Bridge across all our systems. We don't use Lightroom, so finding the network access of Adobe Bridge fits our approach better. I have found support is quick and helpful when we need it. It is a pretty straightforward program. Our files are across computers and servers. The various tools to source them from Adobe Bridge are more effective than any we have encountered.

Cheers,
Pros
  • selecting files then process them in photoshop
  • use as a sales tool for clients viewing
  • Finding files, it is our go to directory
  • easy to go to servers and acroos the companies computers.
Cons
  • Occasionally we find clitches in closing the program down
  • be easier to design workspaces that hold
  • Showing more than 9 images at a time.
Likelihood to Recommend
Adobe Bridge is great for sourcing images across the servers and other computers. Love selecting images and then having them processed in Photoshop
LIke it is part of my monthly subscription at no extra fee. My best joy is that it does not need a catalogue to work.
It is not a speed sorting ai type of program and you can not directly manipulate images in it.
