Thankyou so much Blake. Finally a tutorial that goes slow enough for me to keep up. I have been using bridge for years but only using its basic editing features. My file management is awful and it takes me hours to find an image. I will now follow your instructions and hopefully I will be able to pull a file using the keywords :-)
Great video tutorial Blake. Explained so much for me, especially as I am used to using an older version that didn't include so many (different) functionality. And easy to understand too.
If you are editing the photos on clouds, such as Microsoft’s OneDrive, pausing sync and downloading all the files for you to edit on your PC before you edit them in Bridge will make the process faster.
Thank you Blake for the video I have the new 2024 version BTW, are there any update to what you show here in this video? Thank you again. I would love to now if you did an updated version of this.
Great Video, but I have a question. Is it possible to customize shortcuts in adobe bridge? Like for example, use ctrl+key, shift+key or alt+key to automatically move the file i'm previewing to a certain folder without having to drag it manually?
Thanks for your clear tutorial, but Bridge seems like a poor system. The most natural way for a regular user to sort files is in collections (albums), and the most natural ways to use collections is with categories and SUB-CATEGORIES. e.g. a category with your family pictures, and then a sub-category of your baby photos. But Bridge doesn't seem to have sub-categories. That kills the value of the program: it's supposed to help organize photos but it misses a very basic function that you can get from simple programs including Finder. I'm sure there's a work around with smart folders or key words, but that is unnecessarily complicated for such a simple natural function. Disappointing. I searched the net and others have the same complaint and no fix for it. --- If I'm getting this wrong please post a reply. Otherwise, I'm going to look for a better system. --- Anyway, you did a good job of describing the system, thanks for that.
Juan, What I've always done has been to put my photos into a file of my own creation/selection on the appropriate external hard drive. I then select that drive as one of my favorites in Bridge. It's that simple. You can, if you like, create a folder through Bridge (use the "File" menu) and download from your camera into it. I'd rather not do that, as I always prefer to back up my photos on multiple drives.
Nice presentation. I do have a question for you. I just started looking at Adobe Bridge. When I go on a trip for 2 week or so, I take about 2000+ pictures. When I get home, I have the hardest time catalog them out. When flipping through the images, I wanted to be able to mark the pictures I want and didn't have to write the file # down so when I come back later on, I can just pull those that I have mark/favorite them. Would I be able to do that in Adobe Bridge?
Yes. First name all of them something that makes sense. Summer2022Holiday_00001, etc. For a year from now, so you know where they were from if you sort differently. Then go through and rate the ones you want (and maybe assign keywords to them too). Then add those to a collection using the filter.

I really enjoyed your clear concise description of the nature that is Adobe Bridge.
Thanks so much for explaining this so clearly and slowly.
Great video tutorial Blake. Explained so much for me, especially as I am used to using an older version that didn't include so many (different) functionality. And easy to understand too.
I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.
Awesome Video. This should part of the official Bridge Tutorial

Thanks, your explanation helped a lot. (not to much details but enough to get along Adobe Bridge myself) Again thanks. 😃👍👍
Wow at last a soft tutorial I can follow! you sir are a genius

Thank you Blake for the video I have the new 2024 version BTW, are there any update to what you show here in this video? Thank you again. I would love to now if you did an updated version of this.

Thank you so much!
nice tuto Thank you!
thank you !
thank you
Helpful.
We all learn differently, I watched, attempted and fucked up, now I’ve watched again, attempted and hopefully won’t fuck up... as much
why does my "filter," under essentials now show what yours shows. i have all of the options selected but none are showing up.
Great Video, but I have a question. Is it possible to customize shortcuts in adobe bridge? Like for example, use ctrl+key, shift+key or alt+key to automatically move the file i'm previewing to a certain folder without having to drag it manually?
If all else fails, look into something called AutoHotKey.
I've tried and I've tried. I hate anything Adobe does, their products and their customer "support". Others do it better - and for free!
desktop folder is locked (padlock) on bridge 2023. how the hell do you unlock it?
Dude, the volume shift at the end practically blew out my speakers... tf?

Being a basics video, you did not cover how to get the images into bridge

I wish the Mac version looked like this in dark mode. The Mac version looks terrible.
Jumpscare at the end (loud music)
Bridge is so slow and out of date that I have turned to another RAW browser.
