Hello.

I am a wedding albums designer and i can't work in photoshop unfortunately without same options.

A. I need a short cut in Bridge for option file>place>place in photoshop.

It's puts photos to the template document directly and make it smart obgect.

B. marking the used photos from bridge to photoshop - for example ctrt
+6 mark with red color.

C. less important, hold by default proportion of image - ctrt+T without shift.

For this things I need some script and changes in bridge and
photoshop, and i ask  if you have it or can do it, or have another
solusion for this purpose?

It will be very useful and allow to me and many ather designers work
qukly in photoshop.

I really saffer without these options in Bridge and Photoshop.
