Opening a  le from Adobe Bridge
Opening  les from Adobe Bridge is a great way to begin the work process in Adobe Photoshop.
Not only is it very visual, but important data stored with the  les also makes it easier to locate
the correct  le.
1 Make sure you are viewing the contents of the br01lessons folder, and then double-click
on image IMG_1402.JPG to open the  le in Adobe Photoshop.
Sometimes you will  nd that double-clicking on a  le opens it in a di erent application than
expected. This can happen if you are working in generic  le formats such as JPEG and GIF. To
avoid this problem, you can right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+click (Mac OS) on the image, and
choose Open With to select the appropriate application.
2 Choose File > Close to close the  le in Photoshop and return to Adobe Bridge.
3 You can also click once to select an image and then choose File > Open, or use the
keyboard shortcut Ctrl+O (Windows) or Command+O (Mac OS).
Searching for Files Using Adobe Bridge
Find the  les that you want quickly and easily by using the Search tools built directly into
Adobe Bridge, and taking advantage of the Filter panel.
In this example, you have a limited number of  les to search within, but you will have the
opportunity to see how helpful these search features can be.
