![]() And that's only because Lightroom cataloged those files and it stores preview images of what they look like. And I can still view all 200,000 pictures. I have one that contains over 200,000 images that's at home in Florida. That makes it so I can disconnect the big hard drive that contains all my images. ![]() But the main thing is, it creates thumbnail images in large previews that it stores in a catalog file. When you import 'em, it doesn't actually put them into Lightroom, in that it leaves them in the original locations, wherever you wanna store 'em, it doesn't force you to change that. Instead, Lightroom, you have to import your pictures. But Lightroom catalogs your photos, and that means you're not gonna just point it at a folder and see what's there, that's what Bridge does. And I'll use Lightroom when I wanna look at my archive of all the photos I've captured. And therefore, if I work with a lot of Adobe products, I might wanna end up using Bridge whenever I'm not doing my photographs. If I use Bridge though, I can see illustrations from Adobe Illustrator, I can see page layouts from InDesign, I can see PDF files, and other content that would be totally ignored by Adobe Lightroom. And that would be, Lightroom is only gonna show you images, that means photographs or things that are similar to photographs. ![]() But Bridge is gonna show files that Lightroom would ignore. Then, both Bridge and Lightroom can display the contents of a folder, and we're gonna use that to preview our images, so we can see nice, big previews before we end up opening them. So if you ever see me do something in a screen that I call Adobe Camera Raw, and you have Lightroom, you could do it there instead, because the names of the adjustment sliders will be identical. And, Adobe Lightroom has the same functionality as Adobe Camera Raw when it comes to adjusting pictures. So first off, Adobe Camera Raw is what we're gonna use to adjust images when we first open 'em up. But anyway, let's look at the difference between the two programs so you can get a sense for when might I use one versus the other. Cataloging means that if I end up viewing any images in Lightroom, those are images that it's gonna keep track of, so even if I don't have the originals with me later on, I can still view those images and organize them. Ould use would be Adobe Lightroom, and Lightroom is different than Bridge in that it's a cataloging program. ![]() Bridge comes with Photoshop, so if you have access to Photoshop, you should be able to download Bridge for free on Adobe's website or through the Creative Cloud app that you use to update Photoshop. Not in Photoshop itself, but in either Adobe Bridge or Adobe Lightroom. And I'm gonna do that in one of two programs. Now before we even really open Photoshop though, I wanna talk about where I'm gonna be viewing my images before I open them, 'cause I'll have to be able to compare multiple images and decide which one's worth opening. So, the main thing is, we're gonna learn the big picture before we get into the details of Photoshop. I'll show you how to do things like open files, save them, navigate around your document in the Photoshop interface. This is where, if you ever want to read throught a Photoshop technique or watch a video about Photoshop that's not an absolute beginning one, this will get you started. So now, let's get into an introduction to Photoshop. ![]()
