Faster Alternatives to Bridge CC

I only use Bridge as a photo browser--I use Lightroom/Photoshop for any real work.
But sometimes I just want to browse a folder and be able to zoom and/or open in Photoshop.
So I do use Bridge in this very limited way.
But CC is so slow as to be non-functional. [running Mountain Lion on Core i7 with 16GB RAM]
I use a lot of CC software--Lightroom, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Audition--none of it crawls like this.
So, my question is--is there a faster, professional [i.e. NOT Picassa] photo browser that I can replace Bridge with?
[I have a lot of photos on archived on several drives]
Obviously, there's Photo Mechanic...which I may go to if I have to, especially on location. But for now I was hoping for something a little less expensive. Plus it duplicates a lot of Lightroom does, which is my main workhorse.
I just want a photo browser.
Thanks,
Margot

This is a late reply but hopefully it might help you or someone else.
For those who don't want to read my mammoth post this is the condensed version:
Bridge/Lightroom = good but painfully slow.
Alternatives for PC:
ACDSee Pro ( I use Pro 6.0)
Faststone - Free and fast.
Alternatives for Mac:
ACDSee Pro ( I use 2.0)
Xee - Free and fast, but few features
On to the full version.
First, my experience with Bridge/Lightroom then further down my solution:
Bridge/lightroom both have good file management tools and lots of other features but as you've discovered they are slow.
I've used Lightroom (sparingly) since 3.0 up to 5.0. Only reason I have the latest version now is because i'm subscribing to Adobe CC and I hoped for some improvements regarding speed and workflow but was disappointed. Still slow image to image rendering and still no way to simply browse files without importing them. (or have I missed something?)
Main thing is still that it's slow.
Bridge has been around for a long time now and I've tried using it since my first version which shipped with Adobe Master Collection CS3. I've jumped on every single update Adobe has thrown at it but it is still painfully slow when browsing/viewing images and forget about selecting images based on sharpness as it simply cannot handle proper scaling to screen size on the fly. It has to create preview files first, which I have still not managed to set up in spite of an excess of 100 hours research/re-install/cache purging/mucking with settings etc..
My experience tells me that the only way to accurately gauge focus in Bridge is to zoom in 100%, something that also takes extra time especially with raw files.
I really want to love Bridge since that would mean my Adobe CC subscription would handle everything I need, but no, I simply cannot get around the fact that Bridge is too slow to be efficient.
For the record my systems are not slow, the specs are:
PC:
QuadCore i7 2.8GHz
12GB RAM
120GB SSD system drive
Seagate 3TB 7200rpm photo drives
Eizo 24" flat monitor (don't have the model nr right now but it's a S-PVA panel with good colors)
Mac:
Macbook Pro Retina 15"
2.6 GHz i7
16 GB Ram
256GB SSD
3:rd party solutions I use/used that you might give a try:
My first choice is ACDSEE - I currently own ACDSEE Pro 6.0 for PC and 2.0 for Mac. I mainly use it to go through my memory cards during import and for that it is MILES AHEAD Lightroom/Bridge.
There is a decent Categories feature that I sometimes use to keep track of where certain types of images are. For example I've created sets of categories for different clients to keep track of my best images for each client.
I usually go through my memory cards and simply hit CTRL+B to save to save selected photos into the image basket, this gives me a virtual selection that I can choose to copy elsewhere or perhaps open in Photoshop straight from the memory card.
It also serves as a blazing fast image viewer, it handles most image formats including jpg/png/gif/psd etc. Best of all, it's REALLY FAST compared to Lightroom and Bridge. It even handles quite big .PSD's however the bigger they get the longer it takes obviously.
There are key differences between the PC version and Mac version with the PC version being better according to me. One example: The PC version uses two different keyboard shortcuts for the virtual "Image Basket", CTRL+B to add images, ALT+X to remove them from the basket. The Mac version(2.0) only has a "Tag" function where adding/removing images from the tagged list is done with the same shortcut which means you have to exit fullscreen in order to be 100% sure you have added/removed the tag. Also I had to reassign the shortcut because the standard one did nothing.
I've used ACDSee on the PC about 7 years, it's been really buggy at times, most notably known for "ragequitting" on you while browsing images but the last 3 versions or so have behaved really well. I have still experienced errors forcing me to shut it down but it is now a rare problem and I prefer that risk over the inexcusable slow Bridge/Lightroom. Pro 2.0 is my first experience with it on Mac and it still needs some tweaks but some of my gripes are partly related to getting used to the Mac interface.
Free alternatives that I've used and recommend:
For PC I would say Faststone is a really good option, it's fast, reads most image formats, has a tagging function which gives a graphic que wether or not the image is tagged (small pink square appears in the upper left corner if I remember correctly). It has lots of features easily accessed in fullscreen by simply moving the cursor to either side of the screen. Oh and it displays the images way sharper than Bridge/Lightroom without the need to zoom in 100%. Just as with ACDSee it's often possible to determine the sharpness of an image with the image fitted to the screen size, without going 100%.
For Mac I initially wanted a Faststone alternative since ACDSee wasn't available at first. My research led me to "Xee", a free image viewer that works well although lacks thumbnail view and has nothing equivalent of the Image Basket or tag function for ACDSee.
Ok, I think I've done my share of typing today, I hope someone finds this information useful.
If you read this Adobe; C'mon... shape up Bridge and Lightroom already, you've had many years to get it right but alot of users still see poor performance in those otherwise great programs.

  • Faster alternative to cfcontent for large file downloads?

    I am using cfcontent to securely download files so the user
    can not see the path the file is stored in. With small files this
    is fine, but with large 100mb+ files, it is much, much slower than
    a straight html anchor tag. Does anyone have a fast alternative to
    using cfheader/cfcontent for large files?

    You should be able to use Java to handle this, either through

  • Alternative of Bridge table in data Modelling.

    Hello Gurus,
    while doing the data modeling, we found one place where we have Many to Many joins between One Fact and 3 Dim.
    where in Dim., we mostly have only one attribute/ Dim, which relates Many to Many with Fact.
    so as in obiee we have to build the bridge table to take care of the issue.
    is there any alternative method of data modeling that can eliminate the Bridge table itself?
    I was thinking to add the dim attribute in fact itself. though it's with diff grain it should work??

    If you really have a many-to-many relationship from fact to dimension, which attribute value (which of the many) would you put on the fact?
    What is the issue you are having with a bridge table?

  • Faster alternative to Math.random()?

    hi,
    i have profiled a mini-game i've written and found that calls to Math.random are taking up a good proportion of the time (5%). The source for Math.random() is     public static double random() {
       if (randomNumberGenerator == null) initRNG();
       return randomNumberGenerator.nextDouble();
    }which is exactly as expected.
    I don't need any statistical guarantees about the randomness (just need to add some noise to some moving entities paths), so was wondering if there are any neat tricks to do this faster..
    thanks,
    asjf

    Another alternative is to pregenerate several 1000 random numbers,
    stick them in an array, and just cycle through the array. actually, might do that! (do need doubles half the time, but will convert the others to ints)
    otherwise have found this which looks v. promising:

  • Faster alternatives to iPhoto?

    Hey all,
    My iPhoto is really, really slow.
    Can anyone recommend some alternative photo management software?
    Thanks!
    Alec

    Alec:
    A couple of questions. Are you operating iPhoto with all of the rolls open and how much free space do you have on your HD?
    As for other alternatives I use iView MediaPro, a professional media management application, which can handle not only image files but audio, movie, pdf, html and fonts. This page describes its features.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Faster alternative to vectors?

    I have a file with 25'000 lines of text. I read in line by line, placing each line as a String Element into a Vector. Later I read out again all or parts of those Vector Elements.
    I found that Vector.add() is too slow to process such a hughe number of lines; it's lasting some minutes.
    So my question; Is there a faster alternativ to vector i could use? any ideas?

    Here's why setting initial capacity/increment helps. What's stored in the Vector internally is an array of references to each Object contained within the list. Let's say the initial capacity is 10. To add the 11th element, it's got a have an internal array big enough, so it has to allocate a new array with a bigger size, copy the original references over, then add number 11 to the array. The increment determines the number of extra slots it adds with each reallocation.
    Also, Vector is thread safe, with slows it down.
    Either use ArrayList, which is not thread safe, and use a high initial capacity and step increment. Another option is to use LinkedList, which doesn't have the allocation problem. The catch to using it, though, is that if you wish to access an element by index, it's much slower. If you want to iterate though the whole list, get an Iterator object off the list.

  • A faster alternative to an AT MIO 16 DE10?

    I am currently using an AT MIO 16 DE 10 DAQ card I am using 24 digital and 8
    analog channels and the two GPCTRs. This card will go up to 100ksamples/s.
    This sample rate is divided between the number of channels I use for an
    acquisition. I want to use all 16 analog inputs in this card. Is there a
    functionally equivalent card that will give faster sample rates?
    If the events I am sampling have a frequency of 5kHz am I right to assume I
    need at least to sample at 10kHz per channel? This means I need a card that
    will sample at least at 160ksamples/s? Would I be better of oversampling 4
    times? Is there a formula to determine optimum sampling rate?
    Does multiplexing mean that if I sample each channel at 1000 samples
    per
    second by the time I read channel 15 I will be reading it 16 ms after I read
    channel 0? Is there a way around this delay?
    Thanks
    Luis

    Nyquist theorem says that you have to sample at least 2x the frequency of the incoming signal to prevent aliasing. However, if you aren't just trying to avoid aliasing, but also want an accurate representation of the waveform, you must sample at MUCH higher than that. There isn't an equation for that, it just depends on the input signal and what shape it is. Usually for normal waveforms like sinusoidal, 10 times over sampling is recommended.
    As for multiplexing, it depends on your board. For the one you have, yes, if you read 15 channels at 1000 S/s then the board is running at 15 kHz and channel 15 is read roughly 1 ms away in time fom channel 1. If you need simultaneous sampling, NI provides simultaneous sampling DAQ boards(6110E, 6111E) and a connector bl
    ock to do simultaneous sample & hold (SC-2040).
    As for recommending hardware, it sounds like you will need to go to two cards. NI doesn't have a faster MIO board that has 24 digital lines. You can get a 24 line DIO board (6503) really cheap though. Then for your MIO board, it will depend on if you need simultaneous sampling. The 6110E has simultaneous sampling and is really fast (5MS/s), so it would probably be best.
    In the future, you should submit your questions like this to the Measurement Devices->Multifunction I/O section of Developer's Exchange instead, or call National Instruments so our sales representatives can help you with your hardware selection.

  • Faster alternative to python-vpython

    I started writing a simple python script for specific 3D visualization needs, using python-vpython. I would like to switch to something more efficient, especially at start-up, as importing visual requires already >2s.

  • Problems with Bridge CS3 crash freeze and burn

    Hi,
    I am running Bridge CS3 version 2.1. 100 on a MacBook Pro 3
    Intel Core Duo
    2.4 GHz, 2GB ram
    I am having some serious Bridge issues. My problems have ranged from it just being very sluggish and slow to Bridge not applying a label to random crashes.
    So far today here are the issues:
    "Operation Cannot be completed, an unknown OS error has occurred"
    "EventHandler:2976"
    Will not apply a label when using the command key or from the tool bar menu
    Not responding when quitting from icon in the dock
    freezes when renaming a file
    unexpectedly quit while cropping an image in PS CS3
    Things I have tried to resolve this:
    shift-alt-command and reset all preferences and purged cache
    changing the thumbnails preferences to only process 50mb or smaller files
    create small thumbnails
    (as a former pc user) I have restarted multiple times...
    Things I have not tried:
    rebuilding OS
    uninstall reinstall
    throwing laptop in bathtub
    The files I am working on range in size from 4 mb up to 400 mb .psd files
    Any ideas?

    I can't use Bridge CS3 anymore. It freezes on my screen and the only way to close it is with task manager. Had problems with it the first time I loaded it...a full version of CS3, no upgrade. Spoke with 2 Adobe technicians who tried to help, but being a believer in Murphy's Laws I decided to bypass their suggestions which I had already tried.
    The best viewer alternatives to Bridge are:
    -Fast Stone Image Viewer is shareware and handles .psd files along with RAW, TIFF, JPG, etc. Go to their site an look for yourself. It was so good I sent them the suggested contribution. Adobe could learn a lot from them.
    -Use Adobe Lightroom as a viewer and to do preliminary editing before launching the file into CS3. Adobe got it right in Lightroom...how come not in bridge CS3?
    -Nikon View NX is good but doesn't show .psd files.
    Nikon's Capture NX is a reasonable alternative to CS3 if you get fed up with Adobe. Or go back to PS Elements!
    Finally, some lecturing Photoshop gurus have called Bridge "JUNK...you get what you pay for." Correct.
    Benefits of JUNK sofware is that you explore alternatives and can be surprised at what's available out there.
    Conclusion: Bridge CS3 is meant to be a "bridge" to many PS products, but for me it's a "bridge to nowhere." Make it simple, guys.

  • JDBC-ODBC Bridge is too slow

    Why the Sun JDBC-ODBC Bridge is so slow? When i use the ms bridge it is as faster than a JDBC connection, but i found a bug on the ms bridge that it returns NULL when the value is a "" (blank)
    Anyone how to make sun bridge has a acceptable perfomance?
    I am using MySQL 3.23 and tested on Sun JDKs 1.1.8, 1.2, 1.4

       I've found using a pure JDBC driver (ashna's JTurbo) to be
       roughly 40% faster than the bridge after doing some
       (admitidly) small amount of bench testing. I also found
       it resolved a number of issues (bugs??) with the bridge
       (e.g. no longer throws an occasional fractional truncation
       exception when inserting timestamps). As for the bridge
       being used only for test purposes check out this URL:
       http://java.sun.com/J2se/1.3.0/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/bridge.doc.html
       They recommend using the bridge only for experimental use or when a
       pure driver is not available. I guess you could consider this as test purposes only.There is no such thing as a 'pure driver' (or 'pure jdbc driver' from a different post.)
    The doc you site suggests a 'pure java' driver - a type 4. I question that. I know there are number of things that one can do in ODBC and in OCI which speed up requests. And obviously one can't do those in java.
    Performance problems are caused by the following:
    -Requirements-most impact
    -Design
    -Environment (cpu,network,thread, etc bottlenecks)
    -Language/intefaces - least impact.
    Changing requirements/design can easily produce impacts of orders of magnitude (by removing one requirement I reduce a 4-8 hour report to less than 30 seconds.) So how much impact did the 40% you saw impact your total application? Did you profile your application/system under load using a automated tool to measure the speed?
    I would suspect also that the suggestion that the driver is 'experimental use or when no other alternative is available' might be slightly biased as the driver was produced by Merant who is actively selling drivers too. One would suppose that they were not allowed to deliberately introduce bugs into the code. However, they might have insisted that some language be introduced to suggest that someone should buy the product.

  • Why Bridge is the worst application Adobe has ever had...

    Hmmm, where to start. There are SOOOOOO many reasons to HATE this crapplication!!! From horrid load times, to unbearable thumbnail generations times. Folders not showing up, hosing system resources. I can't think of one thing that Bridge does well!!!! And judging by the forums, I'm not the only one.
    This leaves the question, "What the hell is Adobe doing to remedy this?", the answer seems to be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Well, they won't do anything to it until the next version so they can milk us for more cash. Does anyone know of a free app that does what Bridge claims to do? I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYTHING FROM ADOBE EVER AGAIN!!!!! And will encourage friends to do the same. I feel totally burned by the lack of concern on Adobe's end.

  • Better alternative to header lines, use of logical database, field-symbols

    Hello experts,
    I am wondering if theres a better and faster alternative than declaring a header line for an itab. are work areas faster?
    What is the use of logical database? can you please give me an example on how to use it in reports.
    how do I use field-symbols? I am confused on how it works.

  • Bridge Preview Images not showing changes made in ACR

    Suddenly my raw (Nef) files in Bridge are not reflecting the changes I make to them. In other words after downloading from my CF card, I work on raw files in ACR either one at a time or sometimes applying changes across several pictures. The changed files show up in Bridge briefly and then revert back to the unchanged looking raw. All changes actually exist because if I open the file in ACR or PS they appear just fine. In Bridge however, no changes including cropping, etc. show up. When I open Bridge the files are fine for a moment and then they revert to the uncorrected raws. I can also go to View and hit "refresh" and they will all show the proper changes for an instant and then revert to the original state again.
    I've tried resetting preferences, purging and rebuilding cache, deleting temp files, removing and re-doing xmp files, expanding cache size and all the various rendering options in Prefs. Nothing works.
    I cannot use the Bridge Light box or Preview function to compare photos because the corrections I made aren't there to be seen. The only way to see them is to open each file one at a time in ACR. This problem has forced my workflow to a crawl as I have to edit one pic at a time without being able to compare two together. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi All:
    I had similar problems plus constant crashes that made Bridge unusable.
    It drove me to try alternatives to bridge and to try Lightroom. I like
    Lightroom better than bridge but it has an operational limit that leads me
    to be reluctant switch. But here is the rub, now Bridge is working
    perfectly! What I think fixed Bridge is running a disk/registry cleaner
    called Ccleaner multiple times. I ran it almost every day for a week. It
    found lots of stuff in my registry that it didnt like but as time went by
    it found less and less. It also let me turn on or off services that run at
    startup. I shut off anything that I could see that I didnt need, like
    Adobe downloader; I dont need automatic downloading, as I can do it
    myself. The result is at some point Bridge started to work again. It has
    stayed working for more than 2 weeks now without one crash. I dont know
    what was fixed that did the trick but so far Im happy. Ccleaner is a
    free program and can be found at http://www.ccleaner.com/. Its a live
    program as there have been several updates since I started using it. Try
    it; I think it worked for me.
    John Passaneau
    PS
    After Bridge started to work again, I had to purge the cache and rebuild
    it. I use cache distributed to folders as I keep my photos on a network
    attached drive and access them from 2 computers and a local cache will not
    work for me.

  • PowerMac DP 2 Ghz vs 15" Powerbook & Aperture vs Bridge-ACR and 10 D2X nefs

    10 D2X nefs, equal settings(including sharpening) on each file.
    Test: Time the export/saving 10 full sized JPGs(level 10) on both systems under both Aperture and Bridge/ACR
    In Aperture, stamp the same settings to 10 nefs, wait for the changes to appear on each thumbnail, then select the 10 nefs, and select export versions.
    In Bridge, paste the camera raw settings to the 10 nefs, wait for the thumbnails to show changes(building cache), select the 10 nefs, open ACR under Bridge(not CS2) by pressing CMD-R, in the ACR dialog, select all images on the left, click "Save 10 images".

    Further, it is amazing that the Powerbook could plow through the images in Bridge in the same time it took the Powermac to export the Aperture images...
    Hmmm, then that would imply the best money is on a Powerbook running Bridge/ACR/CS2?
    Sooooo, if you can cull/sort the images and apply raw settings in Aperture three to four times as fast as in Bridge then it is a wash...

    From what I remember I have also had this issue when Skype wasn't open.
    Yesterday my computer started up beeping - I took the harddisk out and it started normally (initramfs tho). Then I put it back in and the laptop have been running fine so far. I suspect it might just have been a bad connection, but I am giving it time..
    EDIT: Still experiencing the issue..
