Adobe Bridge CS6

Adobe Bridge CS6 is a file browser and metadata manager for creative professionals, primarily used as a companion to other Adobe Creative Suite applications like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. It provides a centralised interface for organizing, searching, labeling and batch-processing image files, managing keywords and metadata, previewing RAW photos, and syncing metadata across collections. CS6 is a legacy product from Adobe's perpetual-licence era, released in 2012 and superseded by Creative Cloud versions starting in 2013.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Adobe Bridge CS6 has been discontinued and is no longer supported by Adobe. The app was released in 2012 as part of the CS6 perpetual-licence suite, and Adobe stopped development on it more than a decade ago. There is no native Apple Silicon build and there is no plan to release one. Although Bridge CS6 continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning this app will stop launching entirely at that point. If you still rely on Bridge CS6 for asset management and metadata work, you have two options. The straightforward path is to migrate to Adobe Bridge under a Creative Cloud subscription, which is actively maintained, runs natively on Apple Silicon, and preserves your workflow. Alternatively, if you want to avoid a subscription, consider free or low-cost alternatives like Tropy (an open-source photo asset manager with tagging), XnView (a multi-format file browser with metadata support), or even Apple's native Photos app if your primary need is organisation and searching. Plan this migration at your own pace, but aim to complete it before September 2028.
