CHAPTER THREE

LAUNCHING BRIDGE

To open Bridge from within Photoshop:

Open Photoshop.1.

Select File2. →Browse.

You can also open Bridge from within

Photoshop by clicking on the Bridge icon

found in the Options bar, circled in Figure

3-1.

If you want Bridge to launch automatically

whenever you launch Photoshop,

you must change Photoshop’s default

preferences. To do this:

Open Photoshop 1.

Preferences. On a Mac, choose

Photoshop→Preferences→General; in

Windows, choose Edit→Preferences.

Or use the shortcut: �-K (Ctrl-K).

Check the box next to “Automatically 2.

Launch Bridge” (circled in Figure 3-2).

The next time you launch Photoshop,

Bridge will launch as well.

Launching Bridge

Bridge is a standalone application that launches separately

from Photoshop CS3. It shares many of the attributes of the File

Browser found in earlier versions of Photoshop, but it has more

features and is designed to act as a central hub not only for

Photoshop, but also for all of Adobe’s Creative Suite products.

NOTE Since Bridge is an independent

application, it can also be launched

at any time directly from your

desktop or Start menu (Figure 3-3).
