To change the default program used to open images to Adobe Bridge, follow these steps within Adobe Bridge itself:
- Open Adobe Bridge.
- Access Preferences:
- Windows: Go to Edit > Preferences.
- Mac: Go to Bridge > Preferences.
- Navigate to the File Type Associations or similar tab within the Preferences dialog. The exact wording might vary slightly depending on the Bridge version.
- In the File Type Associations list, locate the specific image file type you want to open with Adobe Bridge by default (e.g., .jpg, .png, .tiff).
- Select the file type and then choose Adobe Bridge as the associated application. This might involve selecting it from a dropdown menu or browsing to the Adobe Bridge application file.
- Confirm or Apply the changes. You might need to click "OK" or "Apply" in the Preferences dialog to save the new file type associations.
After completing these steps, images of the selected file type(s) should now open with Adobe Bridge when you double-click them.
