Opening a file with Adobe Bridge
Posted on 20. Jul, 2009 by admin in Basic
You’ll work with different start files in each tutorial on this website. You may make copies of these files and save them under different names or locations, or you may work from the original start files and then copy them from the rar file again if you want a fresh start. This lesson includes three start files.
In the previous tutorial, you used the Open command to open a file. Now you’ll open another file using Adobe Bridge, a visual file browser that helps take the guesswork out of finding the image file that you need.
1. Click the Launch Bridge button in the application bar. If you’re prompted to enable the Photoshop extension in Bridge, click OK.
Adobe Bridge opens, displaying a collection of panels, menus, and buttons.
2. From the Folders panel in the upper-left corner, browse to where ever you put the Lessons files on your hard disk. The Lessons folder appears in the Content panel.
3. Select the Lessons folder, and choose File > Add To Favorites. Adding files, folders, application icons, and other assets that you use often to the Favorites panel lets you access them quickly.
4. Select the Favorites tab to open the panel, and click the Lessons folder to open it. Then, in the Content panel, double-click the Lesson01 folder.
Thumbnail previews of the folder contents appear in the Content panel.
5. Double-click the 01A_Start.psd thumbnail in the Content panel to open the file, or select the thumbnail and choose File > Open.
The 01A_Start.psd image opens in Photoshop. Leave Bridge open; you’ll use it to locate and open files later in this lesson. Adobe Bridge is much more than a convenient visual interface for opening files. You’ll have the chance to learn more about the many features and functions of Adobe Bridge in later tutorials.
