The Bridge work area
These are the main components of the Adobe Bridge window:
The Look In menu Lists the folder hierarchy, as well as favorite and recent folders. This menu gives you a quick way
to find folders containing the items you want to display. The menu is at the top of the Bridge window.
The Favorites panel Gives you quick access to folders as well as to Adobe Stock Photos and collections. If you have
Adobe Creative Suite 2, you also have access to Version Cue and Bridge Center.
The Folders panel Shows the folder hierarchy. Use it to navigate to the correct folder.
The Preview panel Displays a preview of the selected file. The preview is separate from, and typically larger than, the
thumbnail image displayed in the content area. You can reduce or enlarge the preview.
The Metadata panel Contains metadata information for the selected file. If multiple files are selected, shared data
(such as keywords, date created, and exposure setting) is listed.
The Keywords panel Helps you organize your images by attaching keywords to them.
To start and quit Bridge, and to return to an application
Do any of the following:
• To open Bridge from an application, choose File > Browse from your application.
• (Windows) To open Bridge directly, choose Adobe Bridge from the Start menu.
• (Mac OS) To open Bridge directly, double-click the Adobe Bridge icon . By default, this is located in the Appli-
cations/Adobe Bridge folder.
• To quit Bridge, choose File > Exit (Windows) or Bridge > Quit Bridge (Mac OS).
• To return to the last open application that started Bridge, choose File > Return To [Application].
If Production Studio is installed, using File > Browse to launch Bridge within a Production Studio application lets
you double-click a file to open or import it within that application. For example, if you choose File > Browse from
within Adobe Premiere and then double-click a Photoshop file, the file is added to the Premiere Project panel, not opened
in Photoshop.
