Let’s say that you want to locate a picture in a folder of images that are named using numbers instead of descriptive names. By opening that folder in Adobe Bridge, you can see thumbnails for each image and even locate important information about each file’s site, resolution, and more. To do so, follow the steps with your own files or download the DummiesCCfiles folder as instructed earlier:

1 Select the Essentials workspace in Adobe Bridge. This is the first button in the upper-right of the Bridge Workspace.

2 Click the tab that says Folders, in the left column, to make sure it is brought forward.If you have files located on your hard drive, you can navigate to them using the named folders icons in the Folders panel. Keep in mind that the folders and files that you see are exactly as you would see them if you were using your regular directory system.

3 Click on Documents in the Folders panel to see saved documents that are stored in that folder. If you saved your DummiesCCFiles on the desktop, click on Desktop to see the folder in the Content pane, along with any other files that you might have on your desktop.

4 In the Content pane, double-click the DummiesCCFiles folder to open the contents.You see additional folders that contain files that will be referenced throughout the book.

5 Double-click the folder named Book02_Bridge to see the images within that folder, as well as a subfolder, as shown in Figure 1-2.

6 Now, double-click the Hockey folder. This folder contains images that were named automatically with a digital camera, as shown in Figure 1-3.Finding the right file to open is much easier when you can see thumbnails of the images instead of just the name.

7 Double-click the image to have it launch Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is typically the default destination for image files such as the JPGs in this folder, but you can change file associations by choosing Edit ⇒ Preferences ⇒ File Type Associations (PC) or Adobe Bridge ⇒ Edit ⇒ Preferences ⇒ File Type Associations (Windows).

8 Choose File ⇒ Close in Adobe Photoshop and return to Adobe Bridge.
