1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,019 Discover the source of some icons and get acquainted with different options in 2 00:00:06,019 --> 00:00:12,325 Adobe Bridge. Many of the things that you find in the menu bar are associated with 3 00:00:12,326 --> 00:00:18,804 icons and options that we've already talked about, but there's still more things to learn here. 4 00:00:18,805 --> 00:00:25,226 Let's take a look at the menu options one menu at a time. We'll start with the 5 00:00:25,226 --> 00:00:31,229 file menu. New window will create a new secondary window. Close 6 00:00:31,230 --> 00:00:37,410 window will close the currently active application window. New content 7 00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:43,548 tab will create a new tab to the right of the current ones in the content panel. You 8 00:00:43,548 --> 00:00:49,738 can also do this in the content panel by clicking on one of the plus icons. New folder 9 00:00:49,738 --> 00:00:55,851 will create a new folder in the current content tab. You can also do this by clicking on 10 00:00:55,852 --> 00:01:02,148 the create a new folder icon in the path bar. Open will open the currently active file 11 00:01:02,149 --> 00:01:09,053 or group of files in whatever application that's associated with that file type. to 12 00:01:09,053 --> 00:01:15,591 open a file in a different app, choose open with and then you can choose from the options 13 00:01:15,592 --> 00:01:22,389 listed. This is helpful if you're not able to set an association for a particular 14 00:01:22,389 --> 00:01:29,454 file type. You can also open files in the content panel by double-clicking 15 00:01:29,455 --> 00:01:35,627 on them. Open recent gives you a list of recent files that you've opened. This is also 16 00:01:35,627 --> 00:01:41,719 available in the application bar. Open in camera raw is only an option for 17 00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:47,818 those of you that have an Adobe subscription plan. You can open raw or jpeg images in 18 00:01:47,819 --> 00:01:53,874 camera raw. There's also an option to do this in the application bar. Here 19 00:01:53,874 --> 00:02:00,067 on a Mac, you will next see, move to bin. In Windows, you'll see delete. This 20 00:02:00,068 --> 00:02:06,468 can also be done in the pathbar. If you have removable media active, you can choose 21 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:12,649 eject to eject it safely from your computer. Again, if you have an Adobe 22 00:02:12,649 --> 00:02:18,792 subscription plan, you'll also be able to choose return to Adobe Photoshop, 23 00:02:18,792 --> 00:02:25,283 which is the same as the boomerang icon in the application bar. Next, you'll have 24 00:02:25,284 --> 00:02:32,632 reveal in explore if you're a Windows user or reveal in finder if you're a Mac user. 25 00:02:32,633 --> 00:02:38,701 Choosing this option will open the active file in the content panel in a new explorer or 26 00:02:38,701 --> 00:02:44,863 finder window. Reveal in bridge is something we just talked about. This 27 00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:51,366 is good for searching. if you activate a file and choose reveal in bridge, The content 28 00:02:51,367 --> 00:02:57,871 panel will jump to the folder that contains the image. You can also do this in the content 29 00:02:57,872 --> 00:03:04,497 panel by right-clicking or control-clicking on a file and choosing reveal in bridge. 30 00:03:04,497 --> 00:03:10,943 Clicking on search Adobe Stock will open the Adobe Stock website for you to search for images and files. 31 00:03:10,943 --> 00:03:17,228 You can also do this at the top of the application bar. Export To gives you a chance 32 00:03:17,229 --> 00:03:23,350 to choose from a preset export or to open the export dialog box. We'll talk more 33 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:29,960 about this in the beyond module. Export progress opens the progress window. 34 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:37,615 This is mostly an annoyance unless you want direct access to a file that was saved somewhere else. 35 00:03:37,616 --> 00:03:43,850 Workflow gives a choice to choose from a preset workflow or to create 36 00:03:43,851 --> 00:03:50,070 a new custom workflow. Workflow progress opens the progress window to see what workflows 37 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:56,325 have been finished. We'll talk more about workflows in the next module. 38 00:03:56,326 --> 00:04:02,648 Next you have get photos from camera. This will open the photo downloader dialog 39 00:04:02,648 --> 00:04:08,747 box. You can also do this in the application bar. We'll talk more about this 40 00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:15,190 in the photo module. New in Adobe Bridge are the compress and extract 41 00:04:15,191 --> 00:04:21,421 features. Compress will zip up the active file or folders in the content panel 42 00:04:21,421 --> 00:04:27,746 and unzip will unzip a file or folder so you can use it. 43 00:04:27,747 --> 00:04:33,770 Import from device is a Mac only option that will use image capture to get images from 44 00:04:33,771 --> 00:04:40,148 your devices onto your computer. This option doesn't have nearly the same options 45 00:04:40,148 --> 00:04:46,248 as the photo downloader does, but when the photo downloader is acting up this 46 00:04:46,249 --> 00:04:52,735 is another good option. Move to will move an active file or folder 47 00:04:52,735 --> 00:04:58,969 in the content panel to a new folder. Copy to will copy the active 48 00:04:58,970 --> 00:05:05,583 files in the content panel to a new folder. Both of these can also be done by right clicking 49 00:05:05,583 --> 00:05:11,829 or control clicking on a Mac on a file in the content panel. If you have an Adobe 50 00:05:11,829 --> 00:05:18,097 subscription plan you can use the place command to activate a file in the content panel 51 00:05:18,098 --> 00:05:24,225 and add it to your current document in Photoshop, which is basically the same as 52 00:05:24,225 --> 00:05:30,251 what we did in the last lesson by using the copy and paste. The limit with place is that you can only 53 00:05:30,252 --> 00:05:36,281 have one file active. Also, if there is no document open in Photoshop, it will open a 54 00:05:36,281 --> 00:05:42,643 new document with the active file. Add to favorites, will add the currently active 55 00:05:42,644 --> 00:05:49,521 file or folder to the favorites panel. It will only do one file or folder at a time. 56 00:05:49,521 --> 00:05:55,673 File info will show you the metadata of the currently active file. And the last 57 00:05:55,674 --> 00:06:03,417 option will only appear for Windows users. Clicking on exit will quit the application. 58 00:06:03,418 --> 00:06:09,588 Next, let's look at the edit menu. The undo option will change to reflect the last thing 59 00:06:09,588 --> 00:06:16,032 that you did. And clicking on this option will undo it. If you're a Windows user, 60 00:06:16,033 --> 00:06:22,422 you'll next see a cut option. If you click on cut, it will delete the active 61 00:06:22,423 --> 00:06:28,568 file or folder. And then place it on your computer's clipboard. 62 00:06:28,568 --> 00:06:34,724 Choosing copy in this menu will copy the current file or folder in the contents panel to your 63 00:06:34,725 --> 00:06:40,966 computer's clipboard. Paste will paste what's on the computer's clipboard into 64 00:06:40,967 --> 00:06:47,098 the currently active content tab. Duplicate will create a copy of the active 65 00:06:47,098 --> 00:06:53,184 file or folder and add the word copy to the file name. Select all 66 00:06:53,185 --> 00:07:00,871 will select all the files and folders inside the current folder in the content panel. 67 00:07:00,871 --> 00:07:08,064 Deselect all will deactivate all files and folders inside the current folder of the content 68 00:07:08,065 --> 00:07:14,579 panel. Invert selection will deactivate the currently active files or folders and then activate 69 00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:21,183 the ones that were not active. Clicking on find in this menu will open the advanced 70 00:07:21,183 --> 00:07:27,560 search dialog box. and then develop settings, works with camera raw to set 71 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:33,610 the preferences and copy and paste settings from one image to another. We will not be 72 00:07:33,611 --> 00:07:40,559 using this option in this class. Edit capture time is something we talked about in the last lesson. 73 00:07:40,559 --> 00:07:46,658 It will open a dialog box that will change the time metadata of a file. And then 74 00:07:46,658 --> 00:07:52,944 revert capture time to original will undo any changes that you made to the capture time 75 00:07:52,945 --> 00:07:59,261 of a particular image. All three rotate options will rotate 76 00:07:59,262 --> 00:08:05,577 the currently active files in your content panel. The color settings 77 00:08:05,578 --> 00:08:11,965 will give options for adjusting the color profile of images that are shown in bridge. Windows 78 00:08:11,965 --> 00:08:18,297 users will next see the camera raw preferences and the bridge preferences. 79 00:08:18,297 --> 00:08:24,786 You will only be able to use the camera raw preferences if you have an Adobe subscription. 80 00:08:24,787 --> 00:08:31,496 Mac users will find the preferences up in the Adobe bridge dialog box. 81 00:08:31,497 --> 00:08:37,715 Next in the edit menu is keyboard shortcuts. This will open a dialog 82 00:08:37,715 --> 00:08:44,084 box to show you all shortcuts associated with bridge and allow you to sign additional shortcut. 83 00:08:44,085 --> 00:08:50,496 I showed you how to work with this option in the last video. And then the last two options in this 84 00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:56,901 menu are only for Mac users. Start dictation will allow you to fill a dialog 85 00:08:56,901 --> 00:09:03,478 box by speaking and then emoji and symbols will allow you to insert emoji 86 00:09:03,478 --> 00:09:10,040 and symbols into a dialog box. Next let's take a look at the view menu 87 00:09:10,041 --> 00:09:17,190 full screen preview will cause the active files in the content panel to fill the screen. 88 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:23,404 Slide show does the same thing as full screen preview except for all the files in the currently 89 00:09:23,404 --> 00:09:29,456 active folder will be shown in a slide show. To change the settings of your 90 00:09:29,457 --> 00:09:35,949 slide show you would choose slide show options. Review mode places 91 00:09:35,949 --> 00:09:41,989 all files and folders in the currently active folder into a carousel allowing for rejecting 92 00:09:41,989 --> 00:09:48,029 and selecting. We covered review mode earlier in this class. 93 00:09:48,030 --> 00:09:54,316 The next five options, thumbnails, details, list thumbnails only and gridlock 94 00:09:54,316 --> 00:10:00,635 change how files and information are displayed in the contents panel. 95 00:10:00,636 --> 00:10:07,051 We also talked about these earlier in this module. If you uncheck show reject 96 00:10:07,051 --> 00:10:13,717 files, then your rejected files will be hidden from the content panel. 97 00:10:13,718 --> 00:10:19,937 By default, show hidden files is unchecked. If you were to check it, you would see 98 00:10:19,937 --> 00:10:26,264 files that are normally hidden by your computer system. Show folders is currently checked, 99 00:10:26,265 --> 00:10:32,736 but if you were to uncheck it, it's going to hide all folders and only show images. 100 00:10:32,736 --> 00:10:39,435 By default, show items from sub folders is unchecked. But if you were to check it, 101 00:10:39,436 --> 00:10:47,315 then all of the folders that are shown are going to expand and you'll see all content from all folders. 102 00:10:47,315 --> 00:10:53,759 If you check, show linked files, you will see files that are linked to other Adobe apps. 103 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,825 Clicking on sort, will give you options for viewing files in the content 104 00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:05,981 panel. You can also choose sort options in the path bar. and then 105 00:11:05,982 --> 00:11:12,171 refresh can be helpful if changes that you make to bridge don't seem to be working. This 106 00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:18,385 is not the same as quitting your application and restarting it. The next menu bar we have 107 00:11:18,385 --> 00:11:24,674 is stacks. We're going to be talking more about that in the photo module. We'll also talk about 108 00:11:24,675 --> 00:11:31,928 the rating and label settings in the photo module. Next is the tool menu. 109 00:11:31,928 --> 00:11:38,138 The first thing in tools is batch rename and we're going to be using that extensively in the later modules. 110 00:11:38,138 --> 00:11:44,565 But basically this is going to open a dialog box that allows you to rename the currently active 111 00:11:44,566 --> 00:11:50,733 files in the content panel. Create metadata template allows for a template 112 00:11:50,733 --> 00:11:56,985 to be created that can be applied to files. Metadata templates can also be 113 00:11:56,986 --> 00:12:03,153 edited, appended, and replaced. There are times when metadata templates can 114 00:12:03,154 --> 00:12:09,549 be very helpful, but we will not be covering them in this class. Clicking 115 00:12:09,549 --> 00:12:15,779 on cache will allow you to purge the cash or whatever folder is currently active in the 116 00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:21,809 content panel. Media encoder and Premiere Pro are both 117 00:12:21,809 --> 00:12:28,676 for videos and will not be covered in this class. The Photoshop and Illustrator 118 00:12:28,676 --> 00:12:34,954 tools are also options that will not be covered in this class. Next, we have the window 119 00:12:34,955 --> 00:12:41,282 menu. Workspace lets you view available workspaces, reset a currently active 120 00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:47,696 workspace, save a currently active workspace, create a new workspace from the current 121 00:12:47,697 --> 00:12:54,485 configuration, and edit workspace. We talked about that earlier in this class. 122 00:12:54,485 --> 00:13:01,188 The find extensions on exchange option will allow you direct access to search for plugins 123 00:13:01,189 --> 00:13:07,573 to see the currently installed plugins, click on extensions. We will not be covering 124 00:13:07,573 --> 00:13:13,678 extensions in this class. Next, you have a list of the currently 125 00:13:13,678 --> 00:13:19,721 available workspaces. You would click on one to make it active or to add it to 126 00:13:19,722 --> 00:13:26,358 the current workspace. Below that, you have the path bar. If you were to uncheck that, 127 00:13:26,359 --> 00:13:32,873 it would hide it from your application window. Maximize panel will cause 128 00:13:32,873 --> 00:13:39,038 the active panel to fill the workspace. Minimize will return the 129 00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:45,114 panel to the saved workspace view. And then the current folder will appear at the 130 00:13:45,114 --> 00:13:51,192 bottom of the windows menu. And finally, we have the help menu. If you're on 131 00:13:51,193 --> 00:13:57,341 a Mac, you will see a search bar at the top of the help menu. Entering a word or phrase 132 00:13:57,342 --> 00:14:03,751 in the search bar helps you to find options in the menu bar or to find in-app help topics. 133 00:14:03,751 --> 00:14:10,895 What new will show you new things since the last version of Bridge. Adobe Bridge help will take you to the Adobe website. Adobe Bridge support center will 134 00:14:10,896 --> 00:14:17,275 walk you through help topics before allowing you to contact Adobe. Submit bug feature 135 00:14:17,275 --> 00:14:23,529 request will hook you up with the Adobe forums. You can also manage your extensions 136 00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:29,741 if you have extensions. You can also manage your account. The account here that 137 00:14:29,741 --> 00:14:36,065 it's talking about is your Adobe account. There you can manage the image that's associated with your 138 00:14:36,066 --> 00:14:42,199 account as well as your products, billing, and email address. You 139 00:14:42,199 --> 00:14:48,207 can also sign in and out in the Help menu and then you can also check for updates. 140 00:14:48,208 --> 00:14:54,581 This will open the Creative Cloud app. And then if you're a Windows user you'll 141 00:14:54,581 --> 00:15:00,892 see one more option that says about Bridge. It will give you information like the version number 142 00:15:00,893 --> 00:15:07,061 of this application. Mac users will find this information in the Adobe Bridge 143 00:15:07,062 --> 00:15:13,297 menu. Okay, so I know that that was a lot to throw at you and at this point your 144 00:15:13,298 --> 00:15:20,087 head should probably be spinning. But no worries. There's not going to be a test on this. 145 00:15:20,087 --> 00:15:26,139 Instead, we will be revisiting many of these things in later modules. 146 00:15:26,139 --> 00:15:33,061 By the time you're done, you're going to be a pro at Adobe Bridge. I promise. 147 00:15:33,062 --> 00:15:37,099 This has been Jen White.
