Options of the Bridge Edit Menu in Photoshop


On the Bridge's Edit menu, listed here are your options:

Preferences: Mac users can access the Preferences window in the Adobe Bridge CS5 menu, instead of Edit. Briefly, General preferences control how a Bridge feels and looks. For instance, you can control how light or dark to make the Content window for your files. Metadata preferences control which kind of information is displayed in the Metadata panel. You can assign names and keyboard shortcuts to your colored Labels.

Specify which application to make use of to spread out files of some types. The File Type Associations are specific towards the Bridge only. Thumbnails settings relate to items for example showing additional lines of information combined with the thumbnail image. I would recommend leaving those settings at their default unless you're sure you need to change them.

Undo/Cut/Copy/Paste/Duplicate: I lumped these commands together since they are all self-explanatory. Undo undoes your last executed command. Pick a file(s) and cut, copy, duplicate, or paste it from or into your folder.

Select All/Deselect All: Both of these commands quickly select or deselect all of the files in your selected folder.

Invert Selection: Selects everything that's currently not selected and deselects everything that is.

Find: This command allows you to find files in selected folders, including subfolders, with different number of criteria for example filename, dates, labels, or keywords. Click Find, and also the files matching your criteria appear in the Bridge Content window.

Develop Settings: If you have Camera Raw images, you can open them directly in the Bridge and apply the default Camera Raw settings or settings from the previous conversion. You can also copy, paste, and clear settings via this submenu.

Rotate: The rotate commands rotate your images in varying degrees and directions. Whenever you open the image, Photoshop applies the rotation. You can also click the rotate buttons.

Creative Suite Color Settings: Decide if the colour settings of your Creative Suite applications are synchronized. (The Creative Suite applications should be placed on your computer.) When they aren't, and also you would like them to become, select your desired setting in the list and click Apply.

Camera Raw Preferences: Choose this command to determine your Camera Raw image, cache, and DNG (Digital Negative) File Handling settings. Mac users will find your camera Raw Preferences window on the Adobe Bridge CS5 menu, instead of Edit.
