Introducing the Adobe Bridge

Adobe Bridge
The new Adobe Bridge in Photoshop CS2 replaces the File Browser.

Photoshop's File Browser has been completely rebuilt and renamed Adobe Bridge. Adobe Bridge is an entirely separate application that can be launched independently and becomes the new hub for the Creative Suite. When the file browser was first introduced in Photoshop, I mentioned in my review that I wished it was a separate application, so I am thrilled to see that Adobe has gone in this direction.

The Adobe Bridge can be launched independently, and it is just a button click away from within Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, or GoLive. The screen shot above shows the Adobe Bridge in its default layout, it but is more customizable than the Photoshop CS file browser. With the Adobe Bridge you can view and manage all your image files, including native PSD, AI, INDD, and Adobe PDF files. When previewing PDF files in the Bridge, you can even flip through multiple pages.
