Managing folders
Adobe Bridge is a great tool for organizing folders and files. It is a simple matter of dragging and dropping to reorder
items on your computer. You can create folders, move folders, move files from one folder to another, and copy files
and folders to other locations; any organizing task that can be performed on the computer can also be performed in
Adobe Bridge. This is a great way to help keep volumes of images organized for easy accessibility, as well as easy
searching. One advantage of using Adobe Bridge for these tasks is that you have bigger and better previews of im-
ages, PDF files, and movies, with much more information about those files at your fingertips.

ated.
