Random Photoshop Tip - Adobe Bridge

The very observant who look closely at PU Magazine might see on my desktop that I have a shortcut to Adobe Bridge - this is quite a useful thing to do.

Interestingly, although clicking an image in Bridge would normally launch Photoshop CS2, if I have another version open instead (Photoshop 7 or Photoshop Elements 7 in my case) then the images will open in the already active version.

This means that I can use Bridge with other versions of Photoshop.

Another good tip for Bridge: select multiple files then File>Open in Camera Raw and you can batch convert Raw files to other formats. Obviously settings are the same for all images bust very useful to create a load of low res jpegs for emailing.
