Now maybe I am wrong but the first part of the episode looks like all things you can do if you make the finder window just a little bit bigger.

Does it keep files in place and recognize drives once you reconnect that drive and everything you did before show back up once reconnected to the drive?

I think so! Metadata is typically stored directly onto the file, so whenever you plug the drives back in, the edits you make should carry over!

@@BenRaddatz One problem I have run into is with Keywords. Bridge doesn't store them with the individual photos, so it doesn't automatically update these from one computer to the next. My computer crashed last fall and I bought a new one. When I installed Bridge on the new computer, all of my keywords (for thousands of photos) were gone! I'm now scrambling to find out if there is any way to recover them, but I think I'm hosed.

why are you going through photos in the preview only? There's a baked in solution that old heads in computing already known about. Hell young people are so reliant on it, they have no idea what a "my documents folder" is. You can search, number one. This requires at least 2 brain cells, because you have to have the intelligence to organize and name your stuff. Or you can just go to your folder and start typing the name and it'll jump down, which I find quicker. But, if you are a visual learner and or unorganized, you can always just make the preview a thumbnail and scroll through like 20 photos at a time, rather than 1. Best part is, I'm not supporting an absolute ass company. God do I hate adobe. I only stopped using vegas because somehow, vegas has become more unstable that premiere, the software that I'm convinced has bugs purposefully left in it to not give pirates a solid version to rest on. Well, beyond that, I also liked the ability to jump between programs a little quickly, though I rarely seem to use that, and it was good to learn as it's the industry standard. I don't plan to do video editing professionally, but it never hurts to have it for the ol' resume if you decide to do a side job. But as a company, I hope adobe burns and their software goes free. They don't actually do anything, let alone anything worth their cost. That's why I refuse to pay for it. Lucky me got a free license from uni, and I'll happily go back to pirating when done. But, all my ranting aside, thank you for explaining to me what this software is.

To me it seems just like bridge is for people who are too lazy to get their files and projects organized - change my mind.
