For this week’s edit I’m sharing my Adobe Bridge editing strategy.
Not as well known or popular the last few years, yet amazingly useful and practical - that’s Adobe Bridge.
This image was made on a recent family holiday to Finale Ligure in Italy. We had some good and bad weather, but the ocean never disappoints, regardless.
I’ve been playing around with Adobe Bridge for a while now, and have realised many people use it as a Lightroom replacement (it’s the same RAW engine) - so I thought I’d show you how I edit an image in it.
Learning as I go along and sharing the stoke.
Let’s go!
