Features
Faster performance
Experience faster performance from starting up Bridge CS4 to browsing your assets. For example, set an option to display embedded previews in camera raw images to speed up their display.
Task-based workspaces
Quickly access task-based workspaces at the top of the Bridge CS4 window to move efficiently among common tasks, such as previewing assets, looking at images in a light table, assigning metadata, preparing output, and more.
List View
Sort assets in the new List View, a customer-requested enhancement that enables you to view, customize, and sort on a rich list of data about your content.
Web galleries and PDF contact sheets
Automatically create web galleries in HTML or SWF format and contact sheets in PDF from directly in Bridge CS4.
Full-screen previews
Switch from a thumbnail to a full-screen preview with one click to look more closely at a particular asset.
Collections
Quickly organize assets in freeform or search-based virtual groups, so you can interact with related assets without physically moving them into the same folder.
New Review Modes
Sort through large numbers of assets more easily using new Review Modes, such as Carousel view, which cycles images around in an easy-to-view circle. Use keyboard shortcuts to quickly move among and eliminate images as you zero in on the ones you need.
Smart auto-stacking of HDR images
Intelligently analyze and auto-stack high dynamic range (HDR) image and panoramas before handing them off from Bridge to Adobe Photoshop® CS4 software for further processing.
3D image preview
Preview and apply metadata to 3D images directly in Bridge CS4.
Enhanced camera raw
Apply nondestructive image adjustments, such as dodge, burn, sharpen, and more, as you batch process camera images.
Adobe Bridge features exclusively in Creative Suite 4 editions
Mobile content previewing with Adobe Device Central CS4
Access Device Central CS4 from within Bridge to preview, test, and optimize images, animations, video, and other content for a variety of mobile devices.
Centralized color settings
Set color preferences from a centralized panel in Bridge for more consistent color in your projects and files. This single set of preferences controls color settings for Photoshop CS4, Illustrator® CS4, InDesign® CS4, and Acrobat® 9 Pro, so colors match closely onscreen as you work with the same file in different tools.
Workgroup file management with Adobe Version Cue CS4
Access Adobe Version Cue® CS4 from inside Bridge to manage file handling within creative teams. Track multiple versions, prevent overwriting, find the files you need quickly, conduct browser-based Adobe PDF reviews, and control access to files on a project-by-project basis.
