![]() Of course, the word "Mini" in its name is a clue that Mini Bridge was not meant as a replacement for the full version of Bridge. With the release of Photoshop CS5, Bridge is still a separate program, but Adobe has introduced a brand new feature known as Mini Bridge, a new panel in Photoshop that acts sort of like a window between Photoshop and Bridge, allowing us to view and access our images in Bridge without needing to switch to it! With Mini Bridge, we can navigate to the folder that contains the image(s) we need, preview all the images in the folder, and open the ones we want without ever leaving Photoshop! ![]() It certainly wasn't the most efficient way to work, and for projects like photo collages or other designs that required multiple images, all that switching back and forth between the two programs could easily derail your train of thought and break the creative flow. Since Bridge was a separate, stand-alone program, any time we needed to locate and open a new image, we had to switch out of Photoshop, over to Bridge, then back to Photoshop again once we found the one we were looking for. ![]() With Photoshop CS3 and CS4, Adobe continued to improve Bridge with new features and functionality, yet through it all, one obvious problem remained. Photoshop CS2 introduced the world to Adobe Bridge, a separate companion program to Photoshop that replaced the old File Browser from previous versions and gave us an easy way to locate, manage and organize our ever-growing collection of photos.
