What is this program?

Adobe Bridge CC for Windows is a program for everyone who needs to work with graphic files in large quantities. You can view the contents of folders you are interested in, mark files, or open them in the most appropriate applications for editing. The program allows you to perform many batch operations, such as renaming large numbers of files, viewing metadata, working with keywords, synchronizing the color management system of the entire Creative Suite package, etc. You can start working right now if you have at least Adobe Photoshop. You don't need to install Bridge separately because it appears when you install any application from the Creative Suite.

Conclusions

Adobe Bridge CC is an organizational program to link parts of Creative Cloud together, using an interface similar to the file manager from earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop. It is available from almost all other Creative Cloud applications. Adobe Bridge CC simplifies your work and helps you maintain order. The program gives you centralized access to all the multimedia resources you need for your creative projects. You can edit components in batch mode, edit digital images in RAW format, work with XMP and IPTC formats, add watermarks, rate images, set color parameters centrally, and even work with different file versions.

Image files can be presented as previews of various sizes, slideshows, or lists. Each labeled folder has a cache file to speed up image rendering time when viewing previews. The cache can be located in one central location or in different folders. The features of Adobe Bridge CC can be extended by using JavaScript.
