Learn how to install Adobe Bridge CC, a powerful file browser and companion program for Photoshop. Bridge CC is included as part of your Creative Cloud subscription. To install Bridge, we'll use the Creative Cloud desktop app. This tutorial is specifically for Photoshop CC users.

Adobe Bridge Photoshop Cc 2017

In this series of tutorials, we're learning how to get started with Adobe Photoshop. Part of getting started with Photoshop means installing Adobe Bridge, a separate application that's included with your Creative Cloud subscription. Bridge is a file browser that lets us find, organize, select and open our images. Your computer's operating system also has a built-in file browser (File Explorer in Windows or Finder on a Mac). But Adobe Bridge is much more powerful and easier to use. And Bridge has lots of great features that your operating system's file browser doesn't have.

In the next tutorials in this series, we'll learn more about Adobe Bridge and why we want to use it. First, we'll learn how to use Bridge to download photos from your camera to your computer. Then, we'll look at the many features of Bridge that make finding, organizing, previewing and selecting images both easy and intuitive. And, as we'll learn in the next series of tutorials, Adobe Bridge is also the best way to open images directly into Photoshop's powerful image editing plugin, Camera Raw.

But before we can learn how to use Adobe Bridge, we first need to install it. This tutorial on installing Bridge is specifically for Photoshop CC users. That's because Adobe Bridge CC (the version of Bridge included with your Creative Cloud subscription) needs to be installed separately. We'll learn how to install it in this tutorial using the Creative Cloud desktop app. With Photoshop CS6 and earlier, Bridge installs automatically with Photoshop, so there's no need to install it ourselves. If you're using Photoshop CS6 or earlier, you can skip ahead to the next tutorial in this series, How To Download Photos From Your Camera With Bridge.

This is lesson 2 of 8 in Chapter 1 - Started with Photoshop.

Installing Adobe Bridge CC

Step 1: Open The Creative Cloud Desktop App

To install Adobe Bridge CC, we use the Creative Cloud desktop app. If you've already downloaded and installed Photoshop CC, you'll have the Creative Cloud app on your computer. It should be running in the background. We can open the app by clicking on its icon. On a Windows PC, you'll find the Creative Cloud icon in the notification area on the right of your taskbar along the bottom of the screen:

Windows users will find the Creative Cloud icon in the notification area of the taskbar.

On a Mac, the Creative Cloud icon is located on the right of the menu bar along the top of the screen:

Mac users will find the Creative Cloud icon in the menu bar.

Step 2: Switch To The Apps Section

Clicking the icon opens the Creative Cloud desktop app. Select the Apps category from the menu along the top:

Step 3: Scroll Down To Bridge CC And Click 'Install'

This opens a list of Creative Cloud apps already installed on your computer, as well as apps that are not yet installed but are available to download. The apps you see in your list will depend on your Creative Cloud subscription plan, but Adobe Bridge is included with every subscription. Scroll down through the list until you find Bridge CC. Then, click the Install button:

Scrolling to Bridge CC and clicking Install.

Bridge CC will immediately begin downloading and installing. A progress bar lets you know how it's going:

Hackrf one manual. Open source hardware for software-defined radio. Antenna Switch for HackRF. Acrylic Case for HackRF. Technical information. Documentation is in the wiki. Source code and hardware design files are available in the latest release or in the git repository. Getting help.

When Bridge has finished installing, a message will pop up telling you that Bridge CC has been installed. To close the Creative Cloud app, click anywhere outside of it on your screen to collapse it back into its icon:

Bridge CC is now installed on your computer.

In Creative Suite 5, Adobe has dramatically enhanced the Adobe Bridge application and even included a mini panel version for Photoshop CS5 named, appropriately, Mini Bridge. The Adobe Bridgeapplication helps you organize and manage your assets, such as pictures, text, and movie and audio files, as well as non-Adobe applications such as Word or Excel files.

Adobe Bridge acts like a hub for the Creative Suite; for example, by choosing to open files using the Bridge interface, you can browse directories quickly and see thumbnail previews of files, as shown.

You can even use the Filter panel to help find files and view metadata to your file, including important information such as keywords and copyright information. Bridge not only makes a great deal of information accessible, but it can also be used as a central resource for all your Help needs.

Not all Adobe Bridges are the same. If you installed the Adobe programs separately (not using the Creative Suite installer), the program on your machine may be lacking some features. If you notice that you don’t have access to features mentioned here, check to see whether all the CS5 applications are installed or run the CS5 installer again.

Knowing where to locate the Adobe Bridge application is helpful. Bridge should already be in your system if you completed a standard installation of any product in the entire suite. If you don’t find Bridge installed, go back and choose to install it using your original installation media. After you install the Bridge software, you can open it in one of three ways:

  • Access the Bridge software with the directory system of your computer. Navigate to C:ProgramsAdobeAdobe BridgeBridge (Windows) or Hard DriveApplicationsAdobe BridgeBridge (Mac).

  • Click the Launch Bridge button on the Application bar. If you don’t see the Launch Bridge icon, you can choose File→Browse in Bridge. Launch into Bridge from any of the applications included in the Creative Suite.

  • In Photoshop, you can click the MB (Mini Bridge) on the Application bar to open a panel with a miniature version of Bridge.
