As a digital manager the Adobe bridge is great for keeping track of your assets and you can organize your data in several different ways. First of all the easiest thing you can do is literally click and drag to rearrange the order of your images inside of the bridge itself. So in our content window I can manually put things where I want them to go. What I can also do in the bridge is I can set ratings for my images so that I can use the filter panel which is very, very important so I can find exactly what I am looking for as you see here. So currently you don't see the word anywhere that says ratings because it knows that nothing here has been rated. So I'm gonna to just move this panel over just a little bit and I'm going to zoom in on one of my images actually a few of them and I'm gonna give them a rating. So I'm gonna click on this guy here where, Washington trip and I'm gonna move my mouse and I give it five stars. All of a sudden some stars appear here and it knows that I put five stars, likewise I can click on this image and give this one two stars and let me just zoom out just a little bit. I can give this one here after I rotate it, I can give this one two stars and I'll give this one up here four stars. Now look what happens dynamically updated is our filter menu. So what I can do is click on two stars and I see the ones that have two stars. Cool. Now I'll go ahead and click on the four stars and I'll turn off the two stars and all I am doing is clicking on the stars to turn them off and on. How awesome is that? It's a great way to uh find which images you really want to work with and you can find them very, very easily by simply selecting them. Now let's go ahead and talk about keywords another way to find images that you want to work with. As a matter of fact let me go ahead and just pull our filter all the way up, we can focus on this because this is really important and me personally, I have to be organized. I just have to be organized or I go completely insane and as my wife says I am already insane so thank you. Now keywords, I'm gonna move this up as well, keywords give you another way to organize your images. For example well these images are from a Washington trip so how cool would it be to search for Washington, as you see here I have placed twirled down under the keywords panel and I can add my own keyword because none of these are from New York, Paris, San Francisco or Tokyo. So what I am gonna do is I'm gonna right click and I'm gonna choose new keyword and you see I click on any of these areas here. So new keyword and I'll type Washington, I hit enter or return and now Washington is now part of my category. So I can click on this image here I'll hold down shift and I'll just do a couple of them. So I'll grab these four, I'll select Washington by putting a check in the checkmark here and look at this, the uh filter has shifted down to show me there is something new in here, so we have to find it. And here it is no keywords and Washington. So it knows which images have the Washington associated with it and it shows me the number and I have four in my content pane. How awesome is that? We can also create stacks in our images for organizational purposes. So I'm gonna turn this off and I'm going to once again slide that all the way over, I could double click on it of course to close it but I like to slide it over so let me just go ahead and slide that over. I can select a couple of images, I'll go ahead and once again shift, click and I can go through the stacks menu and choose group as stack. So that I can, let me double click and open this guy up, I'm opening and closing these things all day long. I'll move this down and I can see in my preview panel the four images that are in this stack. I also know there are four images because I have a big number four slapping me in my face, four so I can click on this to open up that stack click on the four again to close that stack. It's a great way to save not only space in your bridge but also to organize things so that you can have all the photos that are related to one another in one handy location. For example let's say you design toys so you have a stack of aliens toys, you have a stack of plush, you have a stack of the trains and that kind of thing and you can always click on a stack to see what's in there and collapse it. So organization is key in this version of the bridge and trust me once you start doing this it's gonna be something you are going to always want to do. Because once you are organized everything is so much easier to maintain in your life. So once again you can stack images, you can assign keywords, you can assign ratings and now let's talk about one more thing which is a label. So what I can do now is I'll choose this image and I can go to label and I can give it a yellow label for example and as you see interactively and dynamically label appears here, yellow, I can click on it and everything that's labeled with yellow appears in the bridge. So I highly recommend that you guys give it a shot because it's a great way to organize your assets so that you can quickly and efficiently find them whenever a client needs you to find a stack of images or you just want to find some old mementoes from a trip you took with your family, easily and quickly in the Adobe bridge.
