Step 1 to learning Photoshop
The Importance of File Management
Introducing Photoshop
Why learn about File Management on a Photoshop course?
The Importance of File Management
Without good file management
you risk losing or accidentally
deleting an image!
Tracking existing images
becomes a cumbersome, boring
task.
Good workflow frees up your
time so you can do more fun things,
like getting out and making
photographs or spending time
being creative in Photoshop.
What folder structure should we use?

Follow basic computer system rules for file naming.
Use letters from A-Z, a-z.
Numbers 0-9.
Only use hyphens and underscores. Avoid spaces, brackets, symbols, or asterisks etc.
File names should end in a three letter file extension with period e.g. .CR2, .JPG, .TIF, etc.
Every unique image should have a unique file name. This means there should not be another image in another folder
with the same name. You run a danger of overwriting files this way.
A good way to name them is to incorporate your name, the date of the photo (or the date of import) starting with the
year, month, day, and the general subject matter e.g. dmcging_20151103_Dublin_0001.CR2
Avoid incorporating detailed job names or complex descriptions in the file names.
Never use multiple image names for the same image file in the same folder.
Apply the file-naming system consistently.

An Introduction to Adobe Bridge
What is Adobe Bridge
Bridge CC is Adobe’s flagship desktop media browser and
powerful digital asset manager (DAM) that allows you to
efficiently locate, organise, browse, preview, and batch
process your content files.
It is very commonly used with Photoshop for quickly
viewing and working with your creative files.
It helps us decide which photos we want to edit and it allows
us to perform quality control before we bring pictures into
Photoshop – this saves us lots of time.
Bridge is available for separate download from the Creative
Cloud (www.adobe.com/creativecloud)
You can install Bridge CC either standalone by itself, or
together with other applications like Photoshop CC, or even
with Photoshop Elements.
