Using Adobe Bridge with InDesign

CATEGORIES: Living In Layers | RC | July 28, 2009

021 Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog. This week Terry’s going to kick us off by giving us cool uses of Adobe Bridge with Indesign:

“As a Photoshop user, I was really starting to dig the File Browser. It was a natural to allow me to view a folder of images without having to open them up one by one to locate the ones I wanted to work with. There was one big problem, though; the File Browser was tied to Photoshop and couldn’t be used unless you actually opened Photoshop and accessed it. Granted, I keep Photoshop open throughout the day just like most of my fellow designers, but that’s just not enough.

Luckily, the Adobe engineers felt the same way and introduced Adobe Bridge with Creative Suite 2 as well as with the individual point products such as InDesign CS2. Bridge is a standalone application that doesn’t require another CS2 application to run. You can use Bridge to browse all kinds of files, not just the ones that Photoshop can handle. So it’s like having the old File Browser detached from Photoshop and being able to use it for all CS2 applications.”
