This way, only the white space below the headline will be used by Bridge and InDesign to place the selected images. You can either select images from a larger set or isolate your choices in a separate folder as shown. Decide how many images you want to have on each page—the greater the number of images per page, the smaller the image dimension. Then check the Auto—Spacing box. Now set the captions to be used filenames in this example. If you think you might use this Contact Sheet setup again in the future, click the Save Settings button to create a preset.
Once again, consider the image resolution, compression, and color space in your decision. Acrobat Tutorials. Taz Tally. January 8, Tags Acrobat Tutorials. Related Posts. Bridge can also display more information about an image the file name, pixel dimensions, date created, copyright info, and more below its thumbnail. Also, Bridge lets us easily change the sort order of the images. We can order images by file name, file type, the date each file was created or modified, or by file size or dimensions.
We can also order images by star rating more on that later or some other criteria. And we can manually change the sort order just by dragging the thumbnails around! Along with changing the size of the thumbnails, Bridge gives us other ways to preview our images. The Preview panel in Bridge displays a larger preview of each image we select.
And one of the best features of Bridge is the Full Screen Preview mode. It lets us instantly jump to a full screen view of any image for a closer look! The Review Mode in Bridge lets us sort through an entire range or series of images. This makes it easy to separate the keepers from the "others". Review Mode lets us quickly cycle through image after image, keeping only the ones we like and dropping the rest! I mentioned that one of the ways we can sort our images in Bridge is by star rating.
Bridge lets us quickly apply ratings to our images using a one-to-five-star system. An image you absolutely love may get five stars, while another image that's "okay but needs work" may get only one star.
Other images that are beyond hope hey, it happens to all of us may get no stars at all. Or you can label an image as "Reject" if it's so bad, it's embarrassing. Along with star ratings, Adobe Bridge also lets us apply color labels to images. A yellow label can indicate images that still need work. Green can be used for ones that have already been approved. We choose the meaning of each color ourselves, so how you use them is completely up to you! Bridge lets us add important copyright information to our photos.
And, we can view and edit a whole range of additional information metadata about our images. We can create and apply keywords to our images with Bridge, making it easier for us and others to find those images when we need them. Bridge can filter images to show us just the photos that meet certain criteria. We can view only images with a five star rating. Or only the images shot with a certain lens, or at a certain focal length.
Bridge can combine photos into collections that make it easy for us to group related images together. Collections can even group images that are scattered across different folders or even different hard drives. And smart collections in Bridge act like dynamic search results. Smart collections tell Bridge to automatically add any images to the collection if and when they meet the criteria we specify. The Batch Rename feature in Bridge lets us quickly rename multiple files at once.
In the previous tutorial , we learned that we can rename our files in the Photo Downloader as we're downloading them from our camera. But the Batch Rename command is the better way to do it. Batch Rename is more powerful, and it lets us rename our files after we've deleted the ones we don't want to keep.
This means there won't be any breaks in the naming sequence which makes it look like some of the images are missing. As we'll see in the next series of tutorials, Bridge makes it easy to open our images into Photoshop. But Bridge also gives us access to some of Photoshop's powerful image processing commands.
Adobe Bridge is also the best way to open images into Photoshop's image editing plugin, Camera Raw. Again, we'll come back to that in the next series, Opening Images Into Photoshop. And that's a quick run through of some of the main benefits and features of Adobe Bridge. Let's look at some of these features in more detail. We'll start with a general overview of the Bridge interface. Then, we'll look more closely at some of Bridge's key features. Let's start by learning how to open Adobe Bridge.
It may be a companion app for Photoshop, but Bridge is actually its own separate program. We can open Bridge the same way we open Photoshop or any other program on our computer.
On a Mac, Bridge is found in the Applications folder. Photoshop does not need to be open for us to open Bridge. But we can open Bridge from within Photoshop. If you're a Creative Cloud subscriber, make sure you've downloaded and installed Bridge CC before you continue. And here's a quick tip. The keyboard shortcut will switch you back and forth between Photoshop and Bridge each time you press it:. The Browse in Bridge command will open Adobe Bridge if it wasn't open already.
Photoshop will continue running in the background. Here's what the default Bridge interface looks like. We'll look at it more closely in the next section:. Like Photoshop, Adobe Bridge provides us with a collection of panels. In fact, the Bridge interface is made up almost entirely of panels. The Folders panel in the upper left lets you navigate through the folders and directories on your computer to find your images. Nested in with the Folders panel is the Favorites panel. Favorites gives you quick access to the folders and directories you use the most.
The Content panel in the center displays thumbnails of your images. In the upper right is the Preview panel, showing a larger preview of whichever thumbnail is selected. Metadata about your images, including copyright information, can be viewed and edited in the Metadata panel. The Keywords panel lets us create keywords and apply them to our photos.
The Filter panel makes it easy to filter images so we're only seeing the ones we need. And the Collections panel lets us group related images together. Usually, the first thing we want to do after opening Bridge is find some images to work on. That's where the two panels in the upper left, Folders and Favorites, come in.
The Folders panel is our main way of navigating to our images. It displays the folders on your computer in a familiar and easy-to-use "tree" structure.
The Favorites panel lets us quickly access the folders and file locations we use the most, just like bookmarks in your web browser! Adobe Bridge groups related panels together to save space, just like Photoshop does. And just like in Photoshop, we can switch between panels in a group by clicking on the name tabs along the top of the group.
Here, we're seeing the Favorites panel. By default, Bridge adds some common file locations to the Favorites panel, like your Desktop, Documents folder and Pictures folder.
We can quickly jump to any of these locations by clicking on them. We can also add our own folders and file locations to the Favorites panel. We'll learn how to do that in a moment:. It lets us drill down through our folders to get to the files we need.
Clicking the triangle to the left of a folder will twirl that folder open, revealing the folders inside it.
Keep making your way down through your folders until you reach the one that holds your images. The "JPEG" folder is inside a parent folder named "photos". And the "photos" folder is sitting on my Desktop:. Color Palette. Options vary depending on selected template. Choose colors for different elements of the gallery, such as text, header text, background, and borders. Specify the size of images and thumbnails, the quality of the JPEG images, transition effects, layouts, and whether to include filenames on HTML gallery images.
Image Info. Airtight galleries only Include a caption, based on image metadata, on gallery images. Output Settings. Click Preview In Browser to preview the gallery in your default web browser. Note: Gallery previews display up to 20 files, but the complete gallery is saved and uploaded.
Optional Save custom settings for reuse by clicking the Save Style button. Then, click Upload. Note: When typing the server path, use slashes for designating directories. Check with your web hosting provider to verify the path for accessing your public folder on the web server. Note: Adobe Bridge adds characters to the text you enter in the Password field after you click or press Tab to go to another field. Adobe Bridge adds these characters for security reasons.
To save your gallery on your hard drive, open the Create Gallery drawer and specify a Save Location. Then, click Save. For contact sheets of multiple images, all images in the layout are a uniform size.
