Adobe Bridge - how and where to save images

[ali_4619]

Hi, I am doing loads of tutorials, googling etc as a newbie - across LinkedIn Learning, YouTube, internet search, chatgpt etc - but I keep running into challenges where even the most basic information on how to do things is missing.

Firstly, I want to import photos into Adobe Bridge but all the videos I've watched and online instructions I can find are about importing from camera. So I'm assuming if I want to upload photos from my computer,  I just copy the images from my computer and paste into an Adobe Bridge folder - but I want to ensure they remain high quality with that method. Do I just copy and paste.

Also, I can't find out which main preset folder in Adobe Bridge I save the content into. My purpose of using Adobe Bridge is so that if I lose my computer or hard drive or I cancel my OneDrive subscription, all my links in InDesign won't be broken.

But the options I'm being given inside Adobe Bridge are desktop, documents, downloads, one drive, this PC etc. Which implies that everything I put in Adobe Bridge will still be stored on my computer or OneDrive not in Adobe Bridge.  Which would defeat my purpose. Hoping you can help.

Adobe Bridge is not a storage solution. To put it in simple terms, Bridge is simply a browser for files stored elsewhere.

Thank you. Do you know why I'm getting this white stripe at the bottom of some photos in Bridge? They're Adobe stock photos (I have a sub) so they're good quality.

I'm not sure where this white stripe comes from. You may want to try to post this question to the Bridge forum:
