Batching Tools
Bridge offers several batch tools
to help you modify your images.
These tools can be accessed in
the Tools menu. They are sorted by
application.
• Send multiple image files
to Illustrator to batch-Live
Trace them, which produces
vectorized images.
• Send files to Photoshop to
batch-convert images into web-
ready assets, or to create contact
sheets, or PDF presentations.
• Batch-rename assets based
on metadata attributes such as
color profile and resolution.
