Today’s Question: You mentioned that Adobe Bridge is available for free for anyone to use. How does one obtain the software?
Tim’s Quick Answer: Adobe Bridge is indeed available for free and can be downloaded via the Adobe Bridge product page on the Adobe website.
More Detail: You can initiate the process of installing Adobe Bridge by clicking the “Download app” button on this page on the Adobe website:
https://www.adobe.com/products/bridge.html
Note that as part of the process of installing Bridge you will need to create an Adobe Creative Cloud account if you don’t already have one. You do not, however, need a paid subscription. You can create an account and install Bridge completely free of charge.
My recent mention of Adobe Bridge as a free product was in the context of making photos including metadata available to others. If there are friends or family that you want to provide photos to, along with the metadata you’ve added to the images, Adobe Bridge is a good solution that is free. Granted, Bridge may be a little complex for some users, but it does provide an effective way of browsing and reviewing photos, as well as reviewing the metadata details for the images.
