One of the great programs that comes with the Master Suite collection is Adobe Bridge. With my Graphic Design background, I had the opportunity to learn how to use Adobe Bridge at a Adobe conference. This was the first time they introduced Adobe Bridge into the software, and I thought it was a great tool for educators and designers alike.
This program allows you to organize your files on your computer and also acts as a quick reference to locate any files you may be looking for. The great thing about Mac computers, is that you are consistently given an option of convenience! There are “two click” short cuts to almost every program or piece of software. My experience with the tutorials were somewhat of a refresher to me, and I decided to re-organize my files in Adobe Bridge.
Within Adobe Bridge you can tag your photos with the quality of resolution, size, author and special notes attached to anyone who opens the file. I am attaching a screen shot of what I am looking at. Listen to the MP3 above, where I discuss the additional benefits of using Adobe Bridge.

Erin,
I want to find an Adobe workshop that will show me how to use these products. I do fine with tutorials, but do so much better with in-person instruction on applications like this.
Thank you so much for posting!

great job describing the function and use of the product. I think that I would have found Bridge more beneficial if I were still working in a Windows environment where I would want to control the file and folder structure but might need having a functional catalog of photos to work without having to launch Photoshop every time I need to dig a little deeper into an image. I pretty much get the same job done with iPhoto. I actually have a problem figuring out when I should be using Aperture to manage my images because I seem to get so much done in iPhoto. ack.
