On a Mac, Bridge is found in the Applications folder. Photoshop does not need to be open for us to open Bridge.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do professional photographers use Lightroom or Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can think of Lightroom as your starting point for post-processing. In many cases, it&#8217;s a one-stop shop. Unlike Photoshop, which caters to a variety of creative disciplines, Lightroom is specifically built to efficiently handle a professional photographer&#8217;s workflow, from photo management to finishing touches.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Adobe Bridge included in Creative Cloud?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>But Adobe decided to unbundle Bridge and make it a separate download for Creative Cloud, so now this product doesn&#8217;t even require a paid subscription.

Bridge is often referred to as a digital asset manager, or a media manager. That&#8217;s because Adobe Bridge gives us powerful ways to find, manage and organize our ever-growing collection of images. In fact, Bridge isn&#8217;t limited to just photos, or just Photoshop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does Adobe Bridge have facial recognition?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Does Adobe Bridge have facial recognition? Adobe Bridge doesn&#8217;t have facial recognition as a feature. However, Lightroom has a powerful face recognition function to group images of the same people.
