Taming Wild Assets With Adobe Bridge

Adobe Bridge is a desktop media browser and digital asset manager that allows you to locate, organize, browse, preview, and batch process content files—including most image, vector, audio and video files. You can view and manage INDD files as well as also rans such as PSD, AI, XD, PDF (and others), all without their originating programs.

Bridge can also manage and set file metadata, create collections, add image watermarks, rate and label photographs, do slideshows, perform batch file operations including renaming, browse directories without importing, support multi-user workflows, and more. And guess what? It’s free.

In this presentation, Alan Gilbertson takes a deep (and we mean deep) dive into Bridge. He has been a longtime champion of Bridge, and his passion for this under-appreciated app will rub off on you.
