Building a Computer for Photoshop & Photography. We can upgrade our computers from time to time, but there usually comes a time when the whole thing really needs to be brought up to date with a new build. What do we choose, how and why? Download the Video Here.

Video 004 – Labels, Star Ratings and Review Mode – Sorting and selecting images can be a big job given the amount of images we shoot. Here we show how we can add coloured labels or stars and we look at review mode too. We also demo how we can sort images to just show labels and/or stars. Review mode is great to make those final selections for editing.View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer
Video 005 – Collections and Smart Collections – Imagine gathering images from many different folders and locations and copying them elsewhere for another project. Collections and smart collections makes this task quick and easy. It’s an option I use constantly. Smart collections can separate images into the collection automatically, driven by a keyword. Let’s show you how it works. Review mode is great to make those final selections for editing. View this video here in HD or you can Download it to your Computer

Sometimes we may want to sort images into those that were shot with a particular lens, aperture, shutter speed or ISO. This is a powerful section of Bridge. Download it to your Computer
