USING ADOBE BRIDGE AND ADOBE VERSION CUE CS4
Resources
Auto collection of HDR and panorama images
The Auto Collection
CS4 script automatically stacks high dynamic
range (HDR) and panoramic images and lets you automatically process them into finished composites.
Additional filters
With Adobe Bridge CS4, you can filter your images by additional metadata criteria, including white
balance, exposure time, aperture value, camera model, and raw file type. And when you’re viewing files that are located
in different directories, you can sort and filter them by folder.
Enhanced XMP support
Adobe Bridge CS4 supports XMP metadata for dynamic media file formats, such as FLV,
M4V, and SWF.

What’s new in Version Cue CS4
Adobe Drive
Adobe Drive is a virtual file system that connects to Version Cue®
CS4 servers. The connected server
appears as a mounted hard drive or mapped network drive in Explorer (Windows), Finder (Mac
OS), and in dialog
boxes such as Open and Save As in any application.
With Adobe Drive, Version Cue® Server files are available to any application, not just to Creative Suite components.
Some applications are fully enabled to work in Version Cue, including Photoshop®, Illustrator®, Flash®, Adobe Bridge,
InDesign®, and InCopy®. Other applications, such as Dreamweaver®, have access to Version Cue Server files but files
must be checked in and out manually.
When Version Cue Server is on, right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac
OS) a folder or file displays
Adobe Drive CS4 in the context menu. You can use this menu to connect to a server, check out files, and perform other
tasks.
Server files
In Version Cue
CS4, project files are stored exclusively on the server, so you no longer need to synchronize
projects. Checking in a file makes it up-to-date.
