Setting Up Bridge

When you first start working in Photoshop CS2, one of the first things that

you might ask yourself is, “Where the heck did the File Browser go?” Well,

the little File Browser has grown up to be its own application, now named

Bridge. Bridge offers much more integrated functionality with all of the

Creative Suite applications. As a matter of fact, it works as a bridge between

all of those programs, so that they can work together more closely than ever

before. (You could also think of it as Command Central, a place where the

captain of a spaceship might sit and have access to control over all the dif-

ferent systems of his vessel... Yes, I’m talking about Star Trek.)

“But I miss the File Browser,” you say. Although I sympathize, I think that

you will find the capabilities of Bridge to be far superior, especially with

regard to the tasks that we will be performing with it.
