It’s official, Bridge is probably the coolest piece of software I have learned in quite a while. If you take your pictures in Camera Raw (and capture a ton of images) this is a must have tool. Especially if you automate processing tasks. Spend the time to create a hierarchy of keywords and specify ratings for your photos, and if you are ambitious, define custom labels for your own workflow process.
I created the following labels: Needs Keywords (6) , Needs Rating (7) , Needs Raw Edits (8) , Needs Smug Mug Upload (9) – I may still modify this workflow, but it is working well for now.
What other tools should I know about? Do you have a good one to suggest?
