Browse for files using Adobe Bridge

Adobe® Bridge is a cross-platform application included with Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 components that helps you locate, organize, and browse the assets you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can start Bridge from any Creative Suite component, and use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe asset types.

To open Adobe Bridge, do one of the following from within Illustrator:

Choose File > Browse In Bridge.
Click the Adobe Bridge icon in the Control panel.
Choose Reveal In Bridge from the status bar.

From Adobe Bridge, you can do any of the following:

Manage image, footage, and audio files: Preview, search, sort, and process files in Bridge without opening individual applications. You can also edit metadata for files, and use Bridge to place files into your documents, projects, or compositions.
Manage your photos: Import and edit photos from your digital camera card, group related photos in stacks, and open or import Photoshop® Camera Raw files and edit their settings without starting Photoshop.
Work with Adobe Version Cue®-managed assets.
Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.
Synchronize color settings across color-managed Creative Suite components.
Start a real-time web conference to share your desktop and review documents.
