Alternatives to adobe bridge Pc#

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. Also I had to reassign the shortcut because the standard one did nothing.

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. 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. There are key differences between the PC version and Mac version with the PC version being better according to me. PSD's however the bigger they get the longer it takes obviously. Best of all, it's REALLY FAST compared to Lightroom and Bridge. It also serves as a blazing fast image viewer, it handles most image formats including jpg/png/gif/psd etc. 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. For example I've created sets of categories for different clients to keep track of my best images for each client.

There is a decent Categories feature that I sometimes use to keep track of where certain types of images are. I mainly use it to go through my memory cards during import and for that it is MILES AHEAD Lightroom/Bridge.

My first choice is ACDSEE - I currently own ACDSEE Pro 6.0 for PC and 2.0 for Mac. 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.ДЇor the record my systems are not slow, the specs are:Д®izo 24' flat monitor (don't have the model nr right now but it's a S-PVA panel with good colors)ДЈ:rd party solutions I use/used that you might give a try: 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. 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.

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. (or have I missed something?)Д«ridge 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. Still slow image to image rendering and still no way to simply browse files without importing them.

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. I've used Lightroom (sparingly) since 3.0 up to 5.0. This is a late reply but hopefully it might help you or someone else.ДЇor those who don't want to read my mammoth post this is the condensed version:Д«ridge/Lightroom = good but painfully slow.ДЇirst, my experience with Bridge/Lightroom then further down my solution:Д«ridge/lightroom both have good file management tools and lots of other features but as you've discovered they are slow.
