Adobe Bridge is an organizational program created and released by Adobe Systems as a part of the Adobe Creative Suite. Its primary purpose is to link the parts of the Creative Suite together using a format similar to the file browser found in previous versions of Adobe Photoshop. It is accessible from all other components of the Creative Suite.

Bridge CS3
Bridge CS2/CS3/CS4 is a mediocre digital asset manager marred by slow performance times, large memory footprint, and frequent crashing on both Windows and Mac. It's primary advantages over competing applications are the ability to show thumbnails of all Creative Suite file formats (PSD, AI, PDF, INDD, and so on) and the easy access to file IPTC and metadata via integrated panels. Competing applications like Extensis Portfolio and Cerious ThumbsPlus offer access to the same metadata, but only through additional dialogs. Both applications also support thumbnailing PSD and PDF documents natively, AI files depending on version, and other file formats with the right filters.
It uses a lot of memory true, but then I tend to only be running this and photoshop when importing and editing photographs, which is my primary use for it.
Obviously is resource hungry, but if you have thousands of image files that you want to browse for material, to date I have found little else that compares
I hate it! i don't know why i must use this app? i browse my files from windows explorer, so why adobe bridge? it's just a huge wast memory user!!!!
its hard to explain the hatred i have for this app, its high memory consume makes everything lag as soon as you open it.
bridge surprise attacks (accidental keyboard shortcut or click in the PS Br icon) when working with PS in a low ram pc its a killing lag bomb.
excluding that, its a good photo manager.
Great photo managing application.
If you are not on Leopard, then Adobe Bridge is an excellent browser for Adobe Files. However if you are using Leopard, then Coverflow and Quicklook kind of render it useless. Again, the problem with Bridge is similar to the problem with all of Adobes Apple Apps. They are bloated and do not take advantage of OSX frameworks like Core Image, Data, etc.
One of the best photo managers for photographers both pro and not-so-pro. It manages your sidecar file too if you use Camera RAW.
