Just drag and drop assets on the workflow preset to queue a job and click Start Workflow to run them. The Workflow workspace is accessible from the application bar.

  5. Once you have completed building your workflow, save the workflow preset with a unique name.

  6. Drag and drop the selected assets from the Content panel onto your Workflow Preset and click Start Workflow.

    Note:

    Once you have created your Workflow Presets, you can also select assets from the Content panel and do one of the following

    • Ctrl-click (macOS) or right-click (Windows) to bring up the context menu and navigate to Workflow > and choose the desired preset 
    • Go to File  Workflow > and choose the desired preset.

You can also access Custom Workflow by doing the following:

  • Ctrl-click (macOS) or right-click (Windows) to bring up the context menu and navigate to WorkflowCustom Workflow
  • Go to File  > Workflow Custom Workflow

Support for Adobe Camera Raw 14

This version of Bridge supports the new Adobe Camera Raw sidecar extensions. All the edits that you do in Adobe Camera Raw 14 will be visible in Bridge.

However, few edits done in Camera Raw 14, like masking edits and edits applied via extension-specific sidecars, such as sample.cr2_xmp, will not be backward compatible with older versions of Camera Raw (13.4 and below).
