Adobe Bridge: Should I, or Should I Not?
Hmmm.... I asked myself "Should I? or Should I not?"
Is it really useful? Is it easier than your normal windows explorer? Does it make thing more complicated? or Does it make things easier? What is Adobe bridge? What are the reasons that I should or should not use this? Am I going to be convinced or not? There are a lot of questions that you might ask yourself before using Adobe Bridge but sometimes you just give it a try without having seconds thoughts. But for those who still have seconds thoughts of using it, this information might help you decide.
Adobe® Bridge, provided with Adobe Creative Cloud, or Adobe Creative Suite® 6 and CS5 components, lets you organize the assets you use to create content for print, web, and video. Adobe Bridge keeps native Adobe files (such as PSD and PDF) as well as non‑Adobe files available for easy access. You can drag assets into your layouts, projects, and compositions as needed, preview files, and even add metadata (file information), making the files easier to locate. The bottom line is it's for organizing files on your computer to make it more easier to find, rename files at the same time, and much more. This is for all versions of Adobe Bridge (CC, CS3, CS5, CS6, etc.).
Reasons for using it? well, I found this video that might help you to be convinced or probably not, it's up to you.
To sum it up adobe bridge is more visual than other software. You can organize more than one files at the same time. It can compare more than one images, you can use it for looking its difference, for example, its quality or the before and after images. It has a "review mode", it's in a carousel like a form. In there you can rate files, remove files from the review mode, and much more. It also can collect files and put it in a folder without the need of duplicating the file. It can help you find the file, for example, you would like to use a PNG or TIFF file you can use the "Filter". It can rename a bunch of files at the same time, it's useful for sequence type rename. The good thing about this is that it preserves the original file name. Another great thing about Adobe bridge it has a lot of shortcut keys to make it easier to go or do stuff at adobe bridge. This is the few features about adobe bridge.
Convince or not, it's up to you.
