Transcripts
1. Adobe Bridge Preferences: Yes, we already here in our menu bar. Let's talk about those as a function that you find in this drop down menu and let's click you one more time onto the Adobe Bridge TC. We talked already about the preferences and decided in this general behaviour we click onto this box when the camera is connected that we lounge the adobe photo downloader and you see also now here's a number off recent items to display is 10. And if you click your once more onto this folder here, that's exactly what that means. Here you have those 10 items that you can see if you want to open up reason fires. And if you wanted to see no more fights here, then you would only have to go into your bridge into those preferences. And then you could also change this into any as our numbers that you want to view of with these recent items. Then, if you want to to check you more things out, you could click into the some nails here. You could have thes additional lines off some nail data if you wanted to change any off those But for me, all those different preferences here. They're in their standard of you more so I didn't change her anything. But go ahead. If you want to. Two clicks Roussel's You will find your those keywords labels. If you wanted to change this, for example, that you don't want to give the stroke, cut off control or command and six read labours, and you could also change this into anything else. And all off those things you can do here in those preferences for me there all the standard things. But you go ahead and just familiar. Rise yourself a little bit was all off those areas. And if you wanted to change your, for example, your interface color. If you don't like this kind off dark or medium grays, and you could also change this into a lighter grey or into this white gray. And I think in previous versions it waas by. I think that's great here by standard and now they changed it into this color that you will also see a light room, but you're go ahead. If you want to change anything, you can do this certainly as well. So for me, like a sailor just keeps us all in standard, and then I just press OK, and if we go here one more time into the bridge, then you can also have a look at your camera. Raw preferences and to You could also change things if you wanted to apply and Otto tone adjustments, for example, or if you wanted to have a default for specific to camera serial number, and then you can also take those boxes. But as I said from use, it's always a standard. And then you can also change those J peg and tough handling You could just able. Here's a J Picks report automatically open all supported J pegs. But for me, that's again, that's all how it waas by standard, and that's how I leave it. But if you want to familiarize yourself and certainly you can just look through all of those items
2. The File Menu : Let's have a look at this next item, and that's regarding our fire. And if we click on the every word seizes drop down menu and you have your different possibilities, you can create a new been know, for example, and if you click on here or you can also use a shortcut meaning command or control and end . But let's click on here just because we're here. And that's super practical if you want to work side by side with different folders, because if you want to go now back to the Julia or you could ease a click on here or you can click here on your main folder. Go back in here because the double click you open this once more. You go into this for the here, Julia Oil and you see that took now a few steps, and if you wanted to switch no back and forth with this and the as a folder, then it would be kind off, time consuming toe. Always go back. Therefore, it's a really cool idea if you can open a second window because here you have no best off Julia and the farm minimizes. Then you will see all those windows in your doc, and that depends obviously, how many you want to open. But if you can off swivel between those folders, I think it's easier if you just open them on different windows rather than going always a few steps back and into the main full, and then you have to click on it and so on. So here you see now, Julia Oil and best off Julia. But let's go in here one more time that I'm actually open one off those, okay? And if you go here one more time than you see isn't that you could also open reasons images appear. Like I said, there are many ways to get the same result. You don't always have to go over those items. You can also find them in your menu, and you can also close your window here. If you don't want to press Commander control W. And even further, you can search you also for Adobe stock, And if you don't want to click this little camera button, then you can also get your photos from camera. So that's no problem at all. But there are some areas now that I great out. And maybe you wonder why. But that's only because we didn't click on any image, because that's the moment. Bridge isn't quite sure what else it should show us if there isn't saying anything clicked on. So let's click on this image, for example, and if we go in here, then you see now that all those areas are available, we can open this we can open with, which means that we could go here visa into photo shop or into any plug in that might be start Indonesia. I have this perfect effects and this preview here. Then you could also go into your camera raw and once more. That will be sober many ways so you can open this in camera raw, but under your file that's a certain way how you can definitely opens us. Or you can also press the shortcut, command or control and are too. Let's do this. See, now it's open in adobe camera raw, but it will also show you those, as always, later, which are even easier. And yeah, that's pretty much all the important thing you have to know here in the fire drop down menu . You can also move things to trash. Like I said, you can also return you to Adobe Photo Shop. So all these different functions, they are in your fire drop down menu.
3. The Edit Menu: The next item is regarding your edit. So let's click onto this drop down menu. So here you can and do anything you did. So, for example, years will detect that they moved something and I could undo this move. Or you can also oppress a shortcut, command or control, and zero that Then you could also cut you on copy once more. I normally use these shortcuts because we are, I think there pretty common and as our programs as well that you press command or control, see for copy. And then you can also paste areas with command or control. And we you can also duplicate images year if you just wanted to few because you might want to try different effects on different images. And yeah, you can duplicate this image. You can also press your on select oil all this a shot cat command or control, and a Then you can also de select those areas, and you can also invert a selection once more. You can also click here onto control. Look, commend F to find any images. You can also go here into your developing settings. Then you will see he already all those presets that I have in adobe camera raw. That's pretty practical. If you don't want to open in adobe camera raw first. And you could also already apply any kind off preset Enbridge than it's even faster. If you want to show anything to your client, then you can also change the direction off your image. So that means, if you might, um, you have any image upside down by default, then you can also rotate them. Or here, for example, with those images, I'm shooting them from a letter, which means the client list this way, as you can see, if opens us, I have my letter here, and that's the only way how I can shoot down because these kind of images you don't want to take from the opposite direction because you don't want to shoot actually up on anybody's nose. Therefore, it's important that it takes them from the head position off the client. But as you can imagine, you don't want to end ups and with a lot off images, where's the client? Is upside down? So rather than shooting them from the side into the client's nose, I could also rotate those images now in our edit function. So, for example, if I wanted to click them here onto 180 degrees, and now I opens us now, I have this image rotated in case I would prefer this direction off the image. And, yeah, that's pretty practical. You could also rotates those images clockwise or counterclockwise, and this might also help us your composition and might give you a better idea off the image .
4. View Modes: The next item is regarding how you can view your images. So let's have a look into this drop down menu. The first item you see here are the first functionality is that you can see your image in this food screen preview when you just press the space bar. So let's do this. So now you just see this little some nails. If oppresses baseball. Now you can see this image in this big size and once you are, are in the sweep review of mode with your right error. Like I said, you can just grow in our through those images and the islands this big size. And if you want to go back into the small, some nailed space, then with this baseball, you are just back onto this original view mode. And let's go into here once more because we can also create a slight show. First of all, you can define the slight, robust those options, and here you can. First off, all sales was display options that you can have. The sticked onwards has black out additional monitors. You can repeat the slide show, you can zoom back and forth, and you can even play here was different transitions. So for me, I've got none. But you can certainly play with swords and say you want to move in effect or maybe a slight effect. But for me, it just keeps us here and non because I just create a slight you at the end of my work flow when I want to get really good feel about edit that I've done and just once more that I look at them a little bit closer and yeah, just for me, really. But you can also present us to a client, of course, and then you can play with those transitions. You can also play here with those different durations. One second normally is enough for me if you want to show to a client and maybe you want a longer duration. But from for now, I will just keep it at one second, and that's a had done that for us because he has escaped to fit. I think that's also good. And then I just go for now onto this done button because we want toe klik known to a few images years so that I can actually show you this life so Let's just take these five first images and then I go back into view and click onto a slide show. Or you can also press on to command or control. And a So that's the end off the slight show. And if I had clicked now onto this repeat button, then this would just go on and on. But just to show you that you can create such a slight show. But for me, the next mode is even more interesting and that ISI review mode. Or you can also click you onto command or control and be. And this is really cool if you want to flip through them and now want to give them a rating , because here you have some little bit easier where you just scroll through them, either with the right clicks that you go here to thes next ones, always the left one. You can also have look no at those images that were at the end, and that's the point where I would give them now a rating. Just because I find this review month now a little bit easier, Yeah, to raid those images that if I would like this better, was this fun for examples, and I can just flick through all off them and you know how to give a rating. I will show you in a little bit, but that's just for me. Easier to do in this review mode. And even if I wanted to look now but closer into the image, I could press you onto this loop toe, and now I've got those kind of zoom into it. And if I brings us Khan a piece onto the ire, then I would get no really good idea if the IRS shop and therefore I really like this review to it. Was this review mold, as they call it? And for me, that's pretty practical. If you don't want to use your own arrows on your laptop computer and so on, then you can also flip through those images with those errors down here, or if you want to sort out certain images. If you wouldn't want to look at this image here anymore, for example, then you press on to this arrow and then it's gone, and then it might help. In case you only want to look at the best off images and here you might not be happy with your composition. Then you can just takes us off. And then you can really defines this area here in your review moat. And if you don't want those any more than you can either press escape or press on this X, and then it's gone. So for me, that's pretty practical if I want to review those images, but let's go once more into our view. Drop down menu. You can also change. Here's some nails you could have it not a some nails, but as details or a PSA list for me and things that some nails are most practical. Then you can also show some there only you can also have a gridlock. For example, this gridlock you also will find down here if you just press onto this. Now it's gone, and if you press once more, you have thes grits. If you find this is a bit more easier to view your images personally for me, I don't use this, but that's up to you. If you think that's maybe a bit easier, and then you can also show these rejected fights that we just sort it out. You can also see hidden files. You can see all those foiled us, and you're just depends. Obviously, if you want to take this on No Texas off and then once more you can also sort here your images by either the fire name that they had created and so on. And here you can also refresh this page.
5. Stacks: The next section is for organizing your images in thes stacks and yeah, for what do you really need? Stack? So that's especially interesting if you shoot a lot off panoramas or HD us, because that might be sometimes a little bit confusing if you open them up and you have no all off those items here. That would be a panorama on HDR and so on, and you don't want to see them all being laid out like that. Then you could basically just group them together. And this way you could organize your images. So let's say, for example, that we wanted to build a group off me are kind of identical images and that's just used these blue ones here, for example, and was command or control. I will just select all of those and then instructs, I could say in our group as a stack, and now, rather than seeing them all individually, I have some here as a group, and I could do the same novice these images, and that might just make you lay out a little bit less clatter, touch and let's takes also you, for example, once more, Group A stack always comment or Control and G, who can also groups them together. And here you can now either press onto this little play button. Then the stack will be played kind off, like a slide show of was in the group. Or you can also go onto this button. And then you can also move through those images so that you don't forget what's actually inside the stack until you can do the same thing. If you just press on to the play button, he will see no. All those images in the stack, okay? And that's just another way how you can organize your images and Raza's and seeing them all exist. You can define already a few images into a stack, and he is That probably is not very necessary. But if you have, like a different, you have different HDs where you want to play with and you have maybe one lighter in much one docker image and more normal image. And then you have to us a few times more often, and you end up with very similar images in this layout year, and then you could say, OK, I want all off those images that fit together for in HD our for a panorama. I want to group them together, and this way address just might be a little bit more organized. However, if you don't want to stock anymore or this group, and that's no problem at all, just go back into your stacks and you can just say he UN group from Stack.
6. Labeling Images : in the section, we will finally talk about how you can labour your images and you will find your labor here on top off the menu bar. And if you just go on to the drop down menus and you will see all those different rating systems, so s. I said. I prefer to use a short cat here because it's just command or control. With those numbers, no rating mean zero. Otherwise, you can press a command or control 1234 or five depending on how many stars you want to give out. Or you can also decrease the rating or increase aerating. And why don't reduce this and just play with those images a little bit. So let's maybe bring all off those images down here once more in terms of you into the review march And, yeah, normally start out by looking at those images that I think they're good enough and a normally gives them just three stars. And then I will just go through them and say, All off those images that I like. I will just give them three styles to start. If I don't like an image, I obviously won't give any staff, and that's how I move my way through. Once I'm done with the three stars and then I really have to find June's is because nominee I have way too many images were want to shoes From Then I can say OK, this is no better or do like this better. Maybe on the first emergency her face a little bit more and then I would give four stars and so on. And if I just closes down now, then you would see here on the right side those food categories once more. So I've got you know, the images that I said Okey, they are my two star And if I say I only want to work with images that have four or five star and only one toe added souls, then I would see them here applied on this side. And that's one category. How you can your labor those images if you want to go now, even further, if you have all of those images and you said okay, I have my stories, does my Fosters and my five stars, but I still have a lot off Fife's. The images. How can I labor this now, even more than you can even press onto this image and give it different colors. And let's have a look once more into our labour what that means. So if you would press you on to select and command or control and six, then you would give you imagine red color. But personally, I just give a red color if I want to throw images away. So I don't really want to work with images that are in red. For me, that's like danger. Danger. This image has a red color, and normally I just Yeah, when I go through my images and say, I don't want to work with souls because, yeah, maybe not sharp or out of focus and so on I labour them with this red color. But if I want to say OK, I have all off those images that have a five star rating, and now I really just want to work with the top off the top images. Then I can even labour them here was second or command or control and seven. Then I would change this labour into a yellow color or even better, and then I really know that it's approved as it's healthy approved, then it would have a green color
7. Labeling and Rating Images in Praxis: so that was a Siri and how you can labour your images. But let's look at this one's more in the more practical part. And if I want to toe collectibles images, maybe here was a woman is on this blanket. Then I just go here on to shift. And now I selected those images, and from here I could go into my view into review moat. And if I want to flip through those, maybe year. I think that's not really good because she's too far away. I would have to crop too much. Then I want to just press six. And now I have since read Labour here. Maybe I also don't like that this one might be OK, so I press three in August 3 stars. I don't think this is flattering her eyes. I have close to adjust the leaders once more. Here, this is the tights crop with souls. Hands maybe. Ah, let's give it to all stars just in case this might be nice or give it three stars and gives us also three stars here, I think the position is to symmetric A. I'm not a big fan off this kind of symmetrical shape, so I would delete this. I don't like the anger that I took here. I also think this is not a nice crop. Then I just go to the next one. Maybe I keep this with three stars. And then again, I think it's too symmetrical. I wouldn't want that. This one, maybe with three stars, upsizing and missed one mm key. That's what's better. Now this one knows this one. If I look at them side by side and I think maybe this one I would now degrade to two stars and I would give this brothers the three stars. This would be also okay with three stars here. I don't like those fingers, so I would probably e can keeps us in, but probably wouldn't give a rating at all. Kind of more like a backup plan here. I would also say it's not bad, and after that, what? Lead it immediately, but it's also not good enough for any rating here. I think that's a super nice. So I would give it the three stars if you like something already a lot, and you can obviously also increases already was forced us here. I would give three stars and so on. That's kind off the first selection, how it would go through those images. As I said, once you have your images filled had now was red, then I would go in and I can delete all of those. And I can do this by just collecting them and dragging them to my trash. And then they're gone. Obviously be sure that you really didn't want those images. Otherwise they're gone. And then from here I can say Nokia have those ratings with three stars, and now I could just open them once more. So if I only want to have sees three stars rating, then I obviously don't take on too no rating. Justice restarts. And from here I collect them and then I bring them into the review mode. Ones more. And then I said, OK, what's no better? This one, this one, I only want to collect, maybe two mm, like this one. So I gives us forced us, but then also like this one. So I also gives us fun stuff. See, it's really difficult. But then I'm thinking, maybe if I would have to choose any off those images here Ah, I'm thinking maybe met me, goes through here. Maybe just this one, for example. And then I can close this one small. And now I have here all those images says that have those forced us and once more I don't have to brings us into the review model at all. If you think you rather want to name them or labels them in this area years. And as I said, you can do this. Also, if you wanted to say now, okay, I want to decide between this one and this one, and I want to stick with this one than I could also say, instead of the four stars, I could press no on 23 and then I would label this down onto three stars and immediately. Then you don't see it anymore because my filter system says, let's only look at those four star images and that's why this is gone. And once more, if you want to decide now between this one ends this one and Sochi, which is better, I think this one is better. Then you can also say once more easa If you press on to the space by you See this big, and then you don't have to press command or control. And then you can just go into a year and then instead of for a press now onto three and then I go back and immunity it's gone again. Or you can also whites your onto this mode. You can also label them so, for example, if you wanted to give all off those images now a green label, then we have to press command or control. And eight. And then this is Queen. And as a set of firms, kind of sure, but not so sure. If I want this image at all, then I can also sings. This is maybe my second choice and then was command or control and seven I can neighbors this yellow.
8. The Tool Bar: the next section brings us back into the tour drop down menu. And, as we said, we have your different functions is that we can bet, rename and collection off images, or we can also create those meta data and those metadata attempted, you know. Now you can also go here into your cash, or you can also have already some functions here in bridge where you can access photo shop and you can already bet on image with different actions. You can also produce your contact sheet. You can also go here to your image processor. You can even already apply here your lens correction. Or you can also load a few fights into Photoshopped layers and you don't have to open. This was the double click or through adobe camera raw. You can just load to see into layers already. You can even go ahead and merge to HDR pro, or you can do a photo Mircera. You brings us into a panorama and so on. Or you can even process collections and photo shop. So that's kind of interesting that you can kind off. Yeah, I use Rich in some functions, are ready to access photo shop immediately. I had normally don't, because most off the time I go through a whole workflow in adobe camera raw, and then I open it into photo shop forever. If you want to have this quick, short cat to go from bridge into certain Photoshopped functions, then you can do this over your toolbar. But I want to show you one more time how you can name your images just so that you get really familiar with this Petrie name. As we said, you can obviously just name your images down here. Let me do this. Also, one small way. I just click on this area and I can just call this Julia, and that's all you can name. You can also give here more stars or less does now that immediately gone off course. So let me just bring this back in, and then I just go until this four year doesn't let me do it. So I just go in here manually and just press for But he you could also just give more stars or lest us and yeah, as I said, if you wanted to rename now all of those images you can go individually into those name areas. However, that's very tedious and will just take a really long time on Dhere. You can just easily renames this, so in case you don't want to call it Julia at Oil, But let's say you want to call this fantasy issued, then we go over our tour, go under the bet rename, and then we just say now, fantasy shoot. And then I just that you once more was number one as the first image off the seconds, everything else stays the same. And then I just press on to rename, and immediately you have noticed image called fantasy Shoot 01 fantasy Shoot zero to and Francis issued 03 and this way, I think it's a lot easier to rename those images.
9. Window and Workspace: the next section. You also know already by now a little bit. At least that's your window drop down menu. And as we said, in case you don't see any off those pendant where plate with and you can just take on them and then you will see them all in your interface. And here you could also minimize this area in case you don't want to click onto this little button. And if you want to bring it up again, then you just go back on here and then it's bigger. Or, as I said, you can also minimise your area. This is minus up here if you're using the mech or if you kind off change this interface and now you want to extend it if you just press onto the plus and of course its back in its normal position. So these things are things that oil pretty clear what they do like Assads. I have all those different panels, but also you can change your workspace here. So, as you've seen, I had the A c R overview workspace and you can also go in here and resets this. That's what adjusted Now it should look exactly what you see. You see you essentials of whom strips a meta data and so on. And here you can also create your own personalized workspace. So let's say you wanted to create workspace where you think this is now a nice layout. So you want to keep keep all of those. But we didn't speak about this. Publish here, for example, because that would bring you now to the publish area in Adobe Stock. And as you can see, Adobe Stock Service is not available. That's because I didn't actually, yeah, sets us to anything. So I'm not publishing. Here was adobe stock. Then you can also go into your window, and then you could just antics this publish panel. If that's not anything that's interesting for you, you could also say, maybe you are not interested in the food as Penna. Then that also just disappeared. And maybe you also don't want the keyboard panel because you've might raza work here with this kind off template that we said that you can find another two. It's so then you kind off arranged this area in a way that you think this would be maybe more sense for my practical for you. And then you could just go into your window into your workspace. And now you just saying new workspace and knowledge is causes again. A cr begin now and then you can also take you onto those boxes if you want to save when no location as part off work space, I think. Yeah, sure, Why not? That looks pretty organized now. And I could also save, sort, organize part off work space or not if I antics this box. But I think this is so good. Now I just press save. And if I would flip now to any off those other areas here onto the filmstrip and then I go back onto my a c a beginner workspace. Now I have this area again without the publish and without afford us. And this way, maybe it's a little less cluttered for you or maybe less confusing. And that's how you can design your own workspace.
10. The Help Menu: and the last section on your menu bias your head function and you might notice also from photo shop in case you don't remember any off so things that I just told you and you only like tens of or something with the template. But I'm not exactly sure how to find that. That's also no problem at all. Because for you, for this problem Adobe Bridge has is in bed help function. And if you click on here and like here, for example, if you just wanted to say OK, I remember it was something with template. But I have no idea on how to find this. You just types is into your search function and then you can scroll down here. For example, You get this massive error that indicates and how do you mean create metadata template? Then you will find us in tools or do you mean edit matter data template, And then you will have a huge arrow that indicates where you can find those functions
11. The Option Bar: the last functions that I want to explain in bridge as those that you will find under your menu bar down here. And this error just indicates off course that you can go back to your previous folders. If you just click on here, you're now in the a C A beginner in Julia, where we just split all those images off Julia into to afford us. If you didn't want to go back and you just go for what? Once more here with this arrow, you can also go to thes kind off previous folders or favorite forward us. Or if you click here onto this little clock with the arrow, then that we reveal reason fights are You can also go to reason forward us. And if you click on him like it said, you can go to reveal our reason. Fights Theodore before the shop fired. All those reason forward us. You can also clear those files in case you're not interested in them any longer. And if we go next to this function, he has this little boom around. That just means that you can also return to photo shop. So, in case you're like now, had. I didn't really want to do this. Developing in bridge Adobe camera raw. You can also just open up photo shop from him, and then we can just look at the next symbol that you know already that your little camera toe once more if you are your card or your card reader didn't open up automatically is, and you just press onto this little camera toe and then you can open your images so that you know already that's no problem at all. These little letters next to that that's your refined toe and a few clicks was open. You have different options here. You can go right into your review mode. If you don't want to go over the menu, BA or if you don't want to bring in the short cat command or control and be you can also bet Rename Off course. This is now great out because we didn't actually collect any of those images. But if you would select them now, let's say we just bring in those images and every click onto this tool here one more time. Now you see that you could also rename them by bench, and that's super easy or once more you can also Yeah, just type in the short cut off shift command or control and all. You can also get this file information right here. So these are now just, I think pretty easy to understand once more. If you don't want to go over any shortcut all over the menu by you can always just play around with swords, little symbols. And here you can also turn those images like reset. For example, If you wanted to turn this year, for example, and you just press onto this, then these images will be rotated clockwise with 90 degrees or here you can also turn them counterclockwise.
