Metadata is a big thing with this release of the Creative Suite, which takes it far beyond the information collected in a JPEG header. ![]() When you select a thumbnail, the metadata pane displays information about the file stored in the file itself. We've chosen the filmstrip layout for our Thumbnail pane. The thumbnail display (which extends beyond images to pages for PDFs and InDesign documents, for example) can be sorted by name, kind, creation date, size, dimensions, resolution, rating and more. Moreover, you can open any number of Bridge windows featuring any view or location you like. And there's quite a bit you can customize from the layout to the background color of the preview pane, as well as the size of the panes. The default view is only one of four Adobe supplies and you can save any number of your own custom workspaces, even assigning them to a keyboard shortcut. The large Thumbnail pane has controls just below it to resize the thumbnails or lay them out in several different schemes. Below it, the Preview pane sits on top of the Metadata pane which holds both Metadata and Keywords tabs. The Navigation pane (top left) includes a Favorites tab and a Folders tab. To the right of these is a large pane of nicely-rendered, resizable thumbnails. ![]() The default workspace includes a navigation pane at the top left, a preview pane below it and below that a metadata pane. You only have to launch Bridge to see that its main task is to preview your assets, whether they are images or documents. The Standard edition requires less hard disk space, of course, but otherwise the requirements are the same. Macintosh users need a G4 or G5 processor running Mac OS X 10.2.8 through 10.4 with Java Runtime Environment 1.4.1 Windows users need a Pentium III or 4 processor running Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or 2. To run the Premium edition on either platform requires 384-MB RAM to run a creative application with Bridge and Version Cue (512-MB to 1-GB recommended to run more than one), 4-GB hard-disk space to install all applications, 1024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card (24-bit recommended), a CD-ROM drive, Internet connection required for product activation (broadband for Adobe Stock Photos) and QuickTime 6.5 for multimedia features. And that leaves Photoshop free to do what it does best while Bridge sets the table in the background. Much of what you have done in Photoshop, you can now do in Bridge. We'll follow our tour of Bridge's main features with a discussion of imaging workflow. The feature list is impressive but confusing. They include 1) Bridge Center to view and access recent files and folders, plus RSS feeds and software tips and 2) centralized color settings to set color preferences throughout the Suite from a central control panel for more consistent color. Some Bridge features require the Premium edition. You can upgrade to CS2 Standard from Photoshop for $489, from CS1 for $350 or get the full version for $839. For example, you can upgrade to CS2 Premium from Photoshop for $739 or from CS1 for $439. You need only one Adobe application to qualify for upgrade pricing on the entire Suite. The Suite itself is available in two configurations: CS2 Premium and CS2 Standard (which does not include GoLive or Acrobat). Our review of Creative Suite 2 starts with this focus on Bridge, but includes a few notes about the Suite in general. But it's a tough bird to get a handle on. This first incarnation, included with the CS2 versions of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator or GoLive, proves its mettle and promises even more. The Imaging Resource Digital Photography NewsletterĪdobe Bridge is a new application in the Creative Suite that borrows features from your operating system, Web browser organizer and image editor to make your workflow more efficient. ![]() MULTIPLE RAW PROCESSING POWER Adobe CS2's Bridge
