OK, a little more on Adobe Bridge for those of you wanting to know more about it like I am! :)
You can change the configuration of the Bridge by removing panels you aren't using. To do this go to the Bridge's "View" menu, deselect the panels you don't wan to see and they will no longer be visible. To get them back just go back up in there and check them again. Very similar to the palettes in Photoshop, but helpful for customizing what you want to see.
Adobe Bridge can be used in all of the Creative Suite applications (like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) and you can leave it running at all times. Due to its size, it might tend to get in the way; however, when you're in Illustrator or Photoshop, you can get the bridge to reduce down into compact view. Just press Command-Return (PC: Control-Enter) and the Bridge reduces down to the size of a palette. (the same shortcut will also return it to full size.) There is a small icon on the top right that will make this change as well. Once you are in compact view, there's another icon next to the original one that will make it go even smaller. So really 3 sizes of views you can use with the Bridge. I think thats nice, if you don't have a lot of room on your desktop!
OK, unless I find some other really cool things out about Bridge this might be the last week we do tips for Bridge, time to move on to something else... probably! :) Have a great week!
