Photoshop 19.0 x64, Bridge 8.0.0.262 x64
PS I sent these files to another person, she has previous versions of Bridge and Photoshop - all the same. Photoshop show one size, Bridge - another.

I'm not seeing the problem here, but if you'd provide more information about your OS and what version of Bridge and PS you're running, it would help the Adobe team test any file you upload on the same OS and version.

All other methods of creating a PNG in PS don't exhibit this issue. A camera raw image file was cropped to 1x1 and Exported to TIFF using LR Classic. The TIFF file was then resized to 2000x2000 inside PS 2018 and output using the below methods. I'm on Windows 7 SP1 64 bit.

So I know PNGs are delicate, both in PS and in Bridge. I even get PNG files sometimes that Adobe can't open (the old Fireworks often could), but Preview can open them. But I'm just not able to find the right combination that prevents PS from attaching the correct dimensions or Bridge from reading them.
A Windows thing, since you're both apparently running Windows? Or can someone on Sierra or High Sierra also confirm?

As for whether or not it's in the previous version of Bridge—I'm not so sure. I would have thought we'd be hearing about it for a long time now if that were the case. You're sending a file from your version to your friend's version, so it is quite possibly carrying along the erroneous metadata. Your friend would have to take one of her own files that has never seen 2018 and follow your exact procedure, from opening in Photoshop to saving in Photoshop exactly the way you did, to then looking at it in her pristine 2017 version of Bridge. If it happens to her files, too, then very possibly, yes, it's a bug no one has found before—maybe by simply not looking at the conflicting dimensions because they don't save to a standard file size the way you do. Actually, you didn't report it in 2017, either???

Hm, I viewed metadata of file using program exiftool, and it shows next values:
Image Width : 2000
Image Height : 2000
Exif Image Width : 3982
Exif Image Height : 3982
Evidently, Bridge shows us Exif Image Height and width instead of Image Height and Width.
This bug appears only in some images. I processed yesterday about 80 images with this action and it appeared only around at 10 of them. For others images params in exiftool are
Image Width : 2000
Image Height : 2000
Exif Image Width : 2000
Exif Image Height : 2000
Sorry for my English, i make mistakes for sure... Hope you understood what i meant.

Since Todd can repeat it, it can't be a non-English localization bug or in an action he doesn't have.
Maybe one of the Adobe Staff here can get someone from the Bridge team who can tell you where to upload a couple files to them that are showing the wrong numbers so they can find the culprit. Todd can then perhaps contribute his own file and between two sources, they can pin it down.
It's almost worse for you having it reported incorrectly only some of the time, because you have to look harder to know it's the bug, not just a file that hasn't been processed by the action. I wish you luck getting it tracked down.

I use English version of Photosop, don't like localization.
Now, when i know, that it's a bug with metadata, not with dimensions themselves, I think I can deal with it, it's not so bad that if it was a bug with real dimensions. But it's uncomfortable.

I'm thinking this bug is related to the bloated metadata files. The original png's are 11MB, but when i save for web or save as small, the files are 3.3MB...

Next I took the same image, cropped it so it was a square closer to 2600x2600 px, left big data intact, left it at 16 bit, used Save As with Medium, Export As, Quick Export as PNG, and SFW. All of them came through with the right dimensions. I'm at a loss here. I'll no doubt run into it one of these days, but if they can't replicate it, they can't fix it.<sigh>

Inside Bridge 2018 (Version 8.0) it shows Dimensions as 3744x3744. Inside LR, PS, Windows Explorer, and numerous other applications it shows Dimensions as 2000x2000.

Here's the original TIF file that was used to create the above PNG file:

After that I ran an action that change Image Size (2000x2000, bicubic), saves copy of file several times in PNG - in folder "large" -using large in save as png, in folder "medium" - using medium and in folder "small" - using small.
- I ran once with all 3 saves checked. Folders "large", "medium", "small" - 9 first images was with parent dimensions, all others - 2000x2000.
- I ran 3 times again, with only one save checked - one time large, second - medium, third - small. Folders "large", "medium" - 10 first images with parent dimensions, others 2000x2000, "small" all images was 2000x2000.
- I moved first 10 first images, that was saved almost every time with parent dimensions and left 62 images that was fine in previous iterations. I ran 3 times again, same algorithm - with only one save checked - one time large, second - medium, third - small. Folder "large" - all 2000x2000, "medium"- first 10 images with parent dimensions, the rest - 2000x2000, "small" - only one! photo had parent dimensions (7th in the list), the rest 2000x2000.
Well, hope you'll be able to reproduce this issue with these images...

For files that you are getting incorrect/different dimension try selecting those files right click and select purge cache for selection . And then check the dimension info . Please let us know if you are still getting this issue.
Thanks,

I saved 63 files in batch. This time first 8 photo, 10th and 12th have parent dimensions. I selected them, purged cache for them - nothing changed.
Yes, it does not help.
