Have you ever taken a whole slew of photos only to spend hours going through them on your computer, one by one, in an effort to find which ones were best? I have. Actually, I have a lot. It’s really not one of my favorite activities. I prefer to shoot and then edit – in […]

Previewing Photos in Adobe Bridge
I frequently use Adobe Bridge to assist with my photo selection and editing workflow. I’m a fairly active blogger who enjoys capturing multitudes of photographs that pertain to the subjects I write about. One of the tools I use most with Bridge is the “Preview” tool. It’s robust and allows me to choose between shots […]
Adding Keywords in Adobe Bridge
I think there are a few different types of users who enjoy working with Adobe Bridge. Those who dabble and who don’t want to become too attached to any application and those who truly revel in immersing themselves in all of the bells and whistles an application has to offer. Personally, I’m the type to […]
Adding Metadata to Photos Using Templates in Adobe Bridge
Oftentimes, photographers and graphic designers find it necessary to add certain bits of information to their photos or graphics in the way of metadata. Examples of metadata might include a copyright, address, email address, phone number, etc… There are many pieces of data someone can attach to an image, given they’re using a piece of […]

Bridge has got some serious muscle. It can do things that Windows can’t – and probably shouldn’t. Seriously, Windows has got […]
Adobe Bridge Thumbnails – Displaying & Managing
There are many opportunities to use Adobe Bridge to quickly review photographs to see where you are with your shooting.

Customizing Workspaces in Adobe Bridge
If Photoshop’s workspace management had a twin, it would be Bridge’s. Both applications have panels, tabs and Adobe provided “themed” work areas. Both applications also offer the ability to create a custom workspace. The management and customization (creating, saving, deleting) is what I’m going to cover in this post. If you haven’t already, please go […]
Downloading Photos From a Digital Camera Using Adobe Bridge
Taking advantage of Adobe Bridge to assist in downloading photos from your camera to store on a hard drive can be extremely helpful and efficient. While using your operating system to browse, select and copy files is, in general, a common practice, that method simply doesn’t offer the options Bridge does. Getting more done in […]
Getting To Know Adobe Bridge
I can remember back to the early days of Photoshop, where there once was a “Browse” window that would show, in thumbnail view, all images in a folder. From that window, you could look through and open any image you were interested in working on. I think these were the days before the “CS” was […]
