Posted on: December 8th, 2009 Author: barb.binder Category: Adobe Bridge, Adobe Photoshop It’s best for Photoshop users to think of Bridge as a place to browse assets and perform basic cataloging and automation functions-and, perhaps, as a bridge to Lightroom or Aperture.Home / Adobe Bridge / Adobe Bridge: Contact Sheets for your CD/DVD Cases Adobe Bridge: Contact Sheets for your CD/DVD Cases But Bridge is still just that-a bridge between the CS3 applications, not a start-to-finish workflow program like Aperture or Lightroom. It’s faster and more responsive, its photo-importing features are excellent, and stacks and filters make managing large numbers of photos easier. In all, Bridge CS3 is a huge improvement on Bridge CS2. You can also use a new function called Start Meeting for real-time group conferencing.

Bridge CS3 also provides a home base for browsing and buying from the Adobe Stock Photo service, and adds Bridge Home, a new CS3 portal that Adobe has created containing links to tutorials and more. Like its predecessor, Bridge CS3 provides a Tools menu that lets you quickly send assets to various members of the CS3 family-for example, you can select a set of photos and then send them to Photoshop for Photomerge stitching or batch processing. But Bridge’s stacking system isn’t as sophisticated as Aperture’s or Lightroom’s: you can stack photos manually by selecting them and choosing the Group as Stack command, but you can’t have Bridge stack them for you based on the time interval between exposures. Like Aperture and Lightroom, Bridge CS3 lets you group related shots into stacks to unclutter your display. You can’t, however, assign keywords at import time-an organizational convenience that Lightroom provides. You can also choose to import only some images from a camera or memory card. An impressive set of importing options lets you automatically convert imported photos to Digital Negative (DNG) format, apply metadata, rename files, and even save copies to another folder or hard drive. A companion utility, called Photo Downloader, lets you bring in photos from a camera or media reader. Importing, stacking, and viewingīridge CS3 lets you do more than just browse-you can also import photos. I prefer to simply zoom in on photos for a closer look, and don’t anticipate using Bridge’s loupe any more than I use Aperture’s-which is very little. Bridge CS3 also provides a new Loupe tool that, like its counterpart in Aperture, lets you magnify part of an image. You can display up to nine images in Bridge CS3’s Preview panel-handy for comparing multiple versions of a shot. The criteria that appear in Filter panel change depending on what kinds of files are displayed in the Content panel.

But you can also filter the display according to ISO (ISO 400 shots, for example), orientation (say, horizontal shots), and even aspect ratio (for instance, shots cropped to 4:3 proportions). Of course, you can show only photos taken or modified on specific dates or to which you’ve assigned keywords. Adobe has provided an impressive selection of criteria by which you can display images. A new Filter panel lets you quickly narrow down the list of items that appear in the Bridge window.
