Is it possible to link a folder of images (on my Mac) to a Library in Bridge so that if I add an image to the folder it automatically shows up in the library?

Hi DocMatter58,
Are you referring to linking collections in Bridge with Finder on your Mac?
Bridge is a file browser and you can access all the files directly in Bridge once they are added to any folder on your computer. See How to view & manage files in Adobe Bridge
Thanks,

What you describe is a “Smart Collection”, however the method is to use one or more search criteria within a top level folder.
I.E. Filename contains .
As in .jpg or .tif or .pdf etc.
Or perhaps Date Created is Greater Than 01/01/1900 etc.
Both of these examples are broad, however you can get very specific too and have a narrow match.

Yup, create a Smart Collection.

Okay, I created a Smart Collection of the folder I wanted and it seems to be just what I wanted in Bridge. But, now can I access that Smart Collection easily in, say, Photoshop as a Library? Or is there some other way to do it?

Bridge is the intended place to access the Smart Collection, then use the selected files in Bridge to open, perform a batch action, use as the source for Image Processor via Tools>Photoshop or use Image Processor Pro in Photoshop and use the option to work on the files selected in Bridge etc.
