When I open a folder using the Adobe bridge, it seems to take forever…in fact, it doesn’t seem to work at all the way a file browser should. What am I doing wrong?

It seems like I have to click on each individual image file to get a thumbnail, regardless, .tif, .psd, .whatever. The .tifs (~300 mB files) are painfully slow to generate thumbs.

And it’s sooooo incredibly sssslllllooooowwwwww all-around. CS was much, much faster. So what am I doing wrong?

It takes a while to generate thumbnails – but you should see progress within a few seconds. There is a preference in the Bridge that makes it not generate thumbnails for huge files (default is 200 Meg and over) that you may be hitting.

Also, Bridge questions and issues would be best posted to the Bridge forum.

bridge uses a whole lot of ram, after the thumbs are populated the first time, you will see a large increase in speed, as they are cached, just like in CS file browser. Just remember, CS2 uses much more ram
