Browse for files using Adobe Bridge
Adobe® Bridge is a cross-platform application included with Adobe® Creative Suite® 3 components that helps you
locate, organize, and browse the assets you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can start Bridge
from any Creative Suite component (except Adobe® Acrobat® 8), and use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe
asset types.
❖ To open Adobe Bridge, do one of the following from within Illustrator:
• Choose File > Browse.
• Click the Adobe Bridge icon in the Control panel.
• Choose Reveal In Bridge from the status bar.
From Adobe Bridge, you can do any of the following:
• Manage image, footage, and audio files: Preview, search, sort, and process files in Bridge without opening
individual applications. You can also edit metadata for files, and use Bridge to place files into your documents,
projects, or compositions.
• Manage your photos: Import and edit photos from your digital camera card, group related photos in stacks, and
open or import Photoshop® Camera Raw files and edit their settings without starting Photoshop. You can also
search leading stock libraries and download royalty-free images by way of Adobe Stock Photos.
• Work with Adobe Version Cue®-managed assets.
• Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.
• Synchronize color settings across color-managed Creative Suite components.
• Start a real-time web conference to share your desktop and review documents.
Adobe Version Cue
Adobe® Version Cue® is a file-version manager included with Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design, Web, and Master
Collection editions that consists of two pieces: the Version Cue Server and Version Cue connectivity. The
Version Cue Server hosts Version Cue projects and PDF reviews, and can be installed locally or on a centralized
computer. Version Cue connectivity enables you to connect to Version Cue Servers, and is included with all
Version Cue-enabled components (Adobe Acrobat®, Adobe Flash®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe InDesign®, Adobe
InCopy®, Adobe Photoshop®, and Adobe Bridge).
Use Version Cue to track changes to a file as you work on it, and to enable workgroup collaboration such as file
sharing, version control, and online reviews. You can use Version Cue in a single Version Cue-enabled Creative Suite
component, such as Photoshop, or across multiple components, such as Photoshop, Flash, and Illustrator.
You access Version Cue features by way of the Adobe dialog box or through Adobe Bridge, depending on whether
you are using Version Cue-enabled software and whether or not you have installed a Creative Suite software set (for
example, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium).
