Using Bridge CS6 - an update to my Guide to Using Bridge

Well, this isn't really an update because little has changed in Bridge with CS6. I recently "bit the bullet" and now subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud, which gives me basically the entire Master Collection as well as 20 gigabytes of space on the cloud; all for one reasonably low monthly fee.

After testing the newest iteration of Bridge I can safely say that nothing warrants an update to my print guide. The interface looks virtually the same and there are no new features.

But there is one thing worth noting in Photoshop CS6.

For the past several versions of CS, Photoshop has always had two small icons in the upper left portion of the main menu bar to allow the user to switch back to Bridge or MiniBridge with a simple click.

No more.

With CS6 you can only access Bridge from either the File menu or with a keyboard shortcut: "Option+Command+O." The same is true of MiniBridge, but no keyboard short, only a panel that can be docked.

Does this mean that Bridge is going away? One can only wonder. . .
