Organize content and assets

Learn how to organize the contents and assets in Adobe Bridge.

Adobe Bridge keeps native Adobe files (such as PSD and PDF) and non‑Adobe files available for easy access. You can drag assets into your layouts, projects, and compositions as needed, preview files, and even add metadata (file information), making the files easier to locate.

  • File browsing: From Adobe Bridge you can view, search, sort, filter, manage, and process image, page layout, PDF, and dynamic media files. You can use Adobe Bridge to rename, move, and delete files; edit metadata; rotate images; and run batch commands. You can also view files and data imported from your digital still or video camera. Learn how to view and manage files.
  • Camera rawIf you have Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom, you can open camera raw files from Adobe Bridge and save them. You can edit the images directly in the Camera Raw dialog box without starting Photoshop or Lightroom, and copy settings from one image to another. If you don’t have Photoshop installed, you can still preview the camera raw files in Adobe Bridge. View Introduction to Camera Raw.
  • Color managementYou can use Adobe Bridge to synchronize color settings across color-managed Adobe Cloud components. This synchronization ensures that colors look the same in all Adobe Creative Cloud apps. Learn how to manage color.
