Adobe Bridge provides a better worklow by handling iles such as viewing
iles, sharing iles, organizing iles, applying image processing commands in
Photoshop directly from Bridge, and managing resources. In Bridge, you can
do the following tasks with your iles:
• Directly access Photoshop commands that allow loading images and
applying batch processes on images directly from Bridge such as Images
Processor, Batch, Lens Correction, Load Files to Photoshop Layers, Merge
to HDR Pro, and Photomerge.
• View, search, label, rate, arrange, and sort images as well as open iles in
their associated applications.
• View iles' metadata information for the images and edit them through
the File Info command.
• Test your images for output on mobile devices (with Adobe Device
Connect); you can also choose the device template that you would like to
test your content on.
• Create PDF iles from image iles and edit the output PDF properties.
• Create a web gallery for your images and upload it to your website.

proiles that simulate the real mobile environment to see how your

emulator before you test it on real mobile device. From the File menu,
you can also get photos from a digital camera, move iles, copy iles,
