Using Adobe Bridge CS6 - tips and tricks:
How to rate your images and move them to a specified "Best of" folder
1. For best operating speed - drag your image folder to your desktop and open up bridge. Find your images on the desktop folder you created. In the end you can create your best of folder in your home drive, or on your desktop. For working digital files, using the desktop in the CyberARTS lab will always give you faster processing times.
2. Rate your photos using a star rating system that works for you. I tend to rate only the ones I want to select. 3 stars = pretty decent but might need some tweaking during the editing process, 4 stars = really really good, focus is bang on, exposure is great, composition is great, 5 stars = award winning.
You can find a system that makes sense to you.
3. Filter your chosen selections so that you have only the ones you've narrowed down in your window. You may need to go through them again to narrow them down further if you have too many.
4. Select All - through edit - select all, or use the keyboard shortcut (Apple/Command 'A').
5. If you haven't done so already, create a best of folder ie. "Best_Garden1_Name" and put it in a location that makes sense to you - probably in your home drive and/or also on your desktop (you can always copy it to the desktop later)
6. With your best images selected in Bridge go to FILE - Move To - Choose Folder and find the best folder you just made. Click Open and the images will move to that folder.
7. Congratulations, you've just done your first edit!
