Managing photos in Adobe Bridge part one

At the ATPI conference this last weekend, I saw a presentation on using Adobe Bridge (software that comes bundled with photoshop) to sort, manage, and even caption digital photos. This is how a lot of pros are doing it.

You will test your eye, and try out this new method with this exercise.

Step one - get the photos on your desktop.

There should be a folder named "edit" in your student folder in "my documents." If it's not there, go to J3 > Bridge_edit, and drag the "edit" folder into your folder.

Step two - load the photos into Adobe Bridge

Go to start> programs > Adobe Bridge to open the software.
Once open, navigate to the "edit" folder

Step two - cut the junk
Hit Ctrl+Delete to erase any photo that is unusable

Step three - rate the rest
Hit Ctrl 1-5 to add stars. One is just OK. Five rocks!
You are selecting for a "people" competition, so your fives should all be great photos of interesting people.
