To select Bridge workspaces
A Bridge workspace is a certain configuration or layout of the work area. You can select either a premade one or a
custom one that you have previously saved. You can use a preset configuration or switch between different configu
rations best suited for specific tasks, such as sorting photos.
Note:
A Bridge workspace is different from a Version Cue Workspace. Your work in Bridge workspaces has no effect on
the Version Cue Workspaces.
❖
Choose Window, followed by the name of the workspace you want, or choose Window > Workspace, followed by
one of the following commands:
Lightbox
Displays just the content area of Bridge, so that you can concentrate on viewing the files.
File Navigator

Metadata Focus

To save and delete Bridge workspaces
You can save the current Bridge layout (that is, the work area configuration) as a workspace and reuse it later. By
saving Bridge in various configurations, you can work in (and quickly switch between) different layouts of the work
area. For instance, you might use one workspace to sort new photos and another to work with Adobe InDesign files.
