    Bridge is my one of my favorite apps. I use with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Sometimes I use with all by itself.

    I can have more than one window open to organize files

    It just knows which application to open a file in when I double click on it

    I can create collections to put projects together

    Learn it, it's simple to learn and super handy.

    Hi IDeStrUcTi0n:

    I use Bridge as an alternative file browser—meaning on a Mac, an alternative to Finder, and on Windows, an alternative to Explorer—and I use it to manage my files on my hard drives.

    In addition to using Bridge to locate and organize my files, I use Bridge:

    • to search for photos that match specific keywords, or other metadata
    • to quickly review a series of photos: marking the best ones with stars and discarding the bad ones
    • to batch rename a series of photos moved off a camera to represent the subject in lieu of names that are a series of random numbers
    • to view at the pages of InDesign and Acrobat files without having to open them, to pinpoint the correct version
    • to view the linked images on my InDesign documents

    There are so many ways to use Bridge, those are just a few of the ways that I find the application invaluable.
