Photoshop, you must know how to find and open the image you
want, and that means organizing your image files in the Bridge. As
glad fortune would have it, that’s precisely what this lesson is about.

video lesson 1: Browsing in the Bridge
The Adobe Bridge, a companion application that
comes with Photoshop CS5, is the best place to get
organized and oriented. Besides easily finding the
file you want to open in Photoshop, you can sort,
preview, examine, group, and compare your photos
in the Bridge. And with Bridge CS5's new Export
panel, you can save an entire folder's worth of raw
format files as JPEGs for easy portability.
