Organized assets
Quickly organize, browse, locate, and view the assets you need every day with visual previews and scalable thumbnails: Adobe Photoshop® images, Adobe Illustrator® graphics, Adobe PDF files, Adobe Premiere® Pro video clips, Adobe After Effects® motion graphics and visual effects projects, Adobe InDesign® layouts, Adobe Audition® audio files, Adobe Encore® DVD files, Adobe GoLive® web pages, and a variety of standard file formats. |
|
 |
|
Accessibility anywhere
Jump to Adobe Bridge from within any component of either Adobe Creative Suite 2 or Production Studio. Either work in it as a standalone application or have it float onscreen as a palette. |
|
Powerful file searching
Tag files using XMP metadata, making file searching fast and effective. Search for files on a hard drive or across a network using extensive XMP metadata information; for example, search by comment, shot name or number, script dialog, or camera used, or find files that use a certain PANTONE® color or set of fonts. |
|
Image processing and searches
Process multiple images (including camera raw images) at once. Resize, rate, and label thumbnails in Slideshow or Filmstrip mode. Save searches as Collections that you can recall anytime. For Production Studio component applications, you can then drag and drop images into the project window of your choice to open the file in that application. |
|
Convenient access to stock photos
Browse and search royalty-free images from leading stock photo agencies using Adobe Stock Photos in one convenient, familiar location. Purchase images from several agencies in a single shopping cart, and manage your imagery without ever leaving Adobe Creative Suite 2 or Adobe Production Studio.

Centralized color settings

Smart import
Import files easily by launching the Adobe Bridge file browser from within one of the Production Studio standalone applications; double-click files of any type to open them directly in the application you're working in. (For example, when launching Adobe Bridge from inside Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, all files are temporarily associated with Adobe Premiere Pro.) |

Adobe Bridge is also available separately in After Effects 7.0, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, Adobe Audition 2.0, Encore DVD 2.0, Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2, GoLive CS2, and InDesign CS2. |
