Super helpful video! Thanks man! Keep it up!

Only 8.5 minutes in and you've helped me more than any Bridge tutorial so far. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.

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

Thanks a lot, man! been doing photography for some years and never used bridge, always doing the viewfinder or dumping everything into lightroom, it was a hustle and I hated selecting photos. Thanks for sharing your workflow bro!

Great video! So helpful and clear for us trying to step up our photography game. Thanks for taking the time to make this, know it’s appreciated!

That was absolutely incredible and super helpful. So clear. Thank you for sharing this!!!!! You're awesome.

I’m struggling with having files all over the places and it got worst when I come up with an idea of dumping files in a folder named unorganized files thinking that I’ll take my time to sort it out later 😒 now I’ve 5 TB of it . Thank you Mikal this is super helpful going in 2022 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

you already know what im going to say..... WE LOVE TO SEE IT

Thank you have been so confused with workflow on the computer, definitely some useful tips there that I can start to implement

Thanks for the video. As a beginner it is great that you started at the beginning, i.e. starting with the SD card. So many videos start with the photos already added in some fashion. The full workflow, and I mean full, is great. 👍🏻

What an iconic instructional video. This man can do it all. 👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you very much, full of details and really really helpful. Cheers!🙏😃

Nah this really saved me HOURS. Brilliant. Thank you so much

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.

thank you, I hqve ordered the new z9 and have known for a while I needed to upgrade my workflow. I should have been using Bridge for years. Its mega important now that I get on this, I will be going over your tutorial again step by step.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the super helpful video 👏🏽

nice one! love the Move from SD card and start clean approach

Yo!!! I’m so glad you’re still working and looking healthy. Keep stoking your fire! I hope God blesses you, fellow human ;)

After losing 3 clients photos. i have been searching for a nice and simple way to work and hopefully not lose any more thank you

Great tutorial. I started researching Photo Mechanic for speedy culling, but realized I already have access to Bridge through Creative Cloud! Re: memory cards. I’ve never had this actually happen, but I learned from some seasoned photogs early in my career to always format a memory card before every shoot to keep it from ever getting corrupted.

Brilliant. This was very helpful. I may not do it exactly as you did, but I am more aware of what I can do. Thank you for this.

So helpful. Thank you.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Like to see more on Adobe Bridge. Aiming to incorporate it more into my workflow. I was looking into Photo Mechanic to quickly cull photos but Adobe Bridge is FREE and can see Raw files and the previews are still pretty quick to load 👍👍

Very helpful! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the video! It's always helpful to see others workflow. Have you ever just edited through Bridge which accesses Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) tools like LR? We've been exploring this at work for the last year and I have yet to run into any draw backs. I see LR as a library tool that uses ACR and we don't want the library features anyway. You can flip the preference in Bridge to open ACR when you double click RAW photos. You can open multiple at the same time. It typically creates a XMP sidecar file which holds the adjustments. Personally, I would still recommend Copy to and not Move to simply to have a safety net if something happens during the transfer, especially for larger transfers.

Super helpful brother Just finished my first commercial wedding shoot yesterday and was looking for guidance on the same thank you so much

Thanks man I really needed this

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!)

🔥🔥🔥

Great Video, but I have a question. Is it possible to customize shortcuts in adobe bridge? Like for example, use ctrl+key, shift+key or alt+key to automatically move the file i'm previewing to a certain folder without having to drag it manually?

Thank you

Very informative.

A really good and helpful video as I have been using Photoshop and Lightroom for so many years and never considered using Bridge as I was looking at other options, do you have any tips for adding XMP data using Bridge, ie copywrite info, event info? Many thanks, John

This was a very nice workflow and great explanation.Thank you for shearing. I like to se different kind of workflows.I just wonder when you are in bridge and export to Lightroom. Why you not use Camera raw instead which are there right in Bridge. Maybe you have a good reason for doing that?

Yo bro, really like your video. Instead of saying "so" take a pause and start over or just try to cut it. Keep it up man!!!!!!!

la cartella desktop è bloccata (lucchetto) su Bridge 2023. come diavolo si sblocca?

Hey Mikal Do you have a prest pack to recommend? Im looking for quit a long time but cant find the perfect one.

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 =)

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.

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.

Question: Is Camera Raw not as good as Lightroom? My point is that lightroom copies all files, but with camera raw I can directly acess them. Is there something I missed or why is everybody using lightroom? Thank you :)

Very helpful. I have a mountain of pics to cull and organize. Do you tag/keyword at all to make them more searchable?

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

Why would you use we transfer and not Lightroom’s inbuilt share folder/photo feature?

When I hit "5" it searches for an image with "5" in the file name. Anyway around this?

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!!!

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.

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😭

my photography classes would have been a lot less stressful if I had been this organized :^)

When I press 5 to rate the photos I want it just bumps me back up to the top of the file without giving the rating. Any idea why?

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.

The part about rating photos 5 stars or 0 stars will be helpful.

helpful, but i can hear the saliva in your mouth from a kiloter away
