Adobe Bridge CC 2018 8.1 macOS

Keeping track of all the videos, songs and photos stored onto a computer can be a daunting task if the media files are scattered all over the hard drive, so a centralized management solution that can help organize them is welcomed.

What’s New in Adobe Bridge CC 2018 8.1

• Creative Cloud Libraries help you organize, browse, and access creative assets. For example, you may want to create a Creative Cloud Library that contains all the components most frequently used in a specific project.

Linked assets:Edit once – update everywhere:

• Always use the latest iteration or version of your asset with linked assets. No matter where your asset is used, if you edit the library copy, all your projects are updated with the edited asset. Adobe CreativeSync ensures that you get the right and updated asset – each time you reuse assets across desktop and mobile projects.

Everywhere access. All the time:

• Your libraries are available from within various Creative Cloud desktop apps like Bridge, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Creative Cloud Assets and Adobe mobile apps like Comp and Draw – even when you’re offline.

Share and collaborate:

• Share assets and components from your libraries with other users. Allow others to work with items in your shared libraries, or share them with more users. Ensure consistency across projects with common assets like graphics, colors, character styling, or style guides.

Adobe Stock integration:

• The new Adobe Stock service provides you with access to 50 million high-quality, royalty-free images, videos, and graphics. Using the Libraries panel, navigate to, license, and use images and graphics right from within Illustrator.

Organize:

• Categorize components into libraries that are meaningful to your workflows and creative projects.

The right asset. Every time:

• Reuse assets across desktop and mobile projects without worrying that you’ll grab the wrong versions or that you’ll delete or overwrite by mistake.

Easily save to Creative Cloud Libraries:

• Save assets directly to your libraries from File Explorer/Finder or from Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and Adobe mobile apps and services like Shape, Brush, Color, Comp, and Hue.

• Bridge CC now supports png and svg files with transparency:

• It displays a checkered background to identify transparent areas of these files in the Content panel and the Preview panel. To view the checkered grid, do one of the following:
• Go to Edit > Preferences > Thumbnails (Windows) or Adobe Bridge CC > Preferences > Thumbnails (macOS), and select Show Transparency Grid.
• Click the Options For Thumbnail Quality And Preview Generation button () on the upper-right corner and select Show Transparency Grid from the drop-down menu.
