Adobe Bridge

[PSA DC-9-30]

Two questions about Bridge:

I just returned from Russia and started to sort through my 2400+ photos using Bridge, labelling the ones I want to tweak and upload to Photobucket, and a smaller subset I will tweak and print at various sizes. After applying green labels to the ones I like from my first memory card (363 of 720), I noticed that the files I selected and labelled with green are not visible in the folder when I double click and "explore" it (i.e., outside of Bridge). I know the files are there, because I can see them when I go back to Bridge. Why are these selected files not visible? How can I get them to reappear? If I burn a DVD, I assume that all the files I selected in Bridge will be there? Maybe not!?  

Also, I am not using Lightroom yet, but was wondering whether this program will make Bridge superfluous / obsolete.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

 I will assume that you shot jpegs on your trip since Gracie sent us jpegs from the trip.

 When you tag jpegs in Bridge the file is modified. I think you will find the missing files at the bottom of your folder with a modified date. Click the name column in Explorer to resort the files by name.

 Hope that helps.

Thanks Rich.

Gracie is having fun with her new camera (I bought her an Olympus Stylus 710) but she knows nothing about digital imaging and she sent the .jpgs before I explained resampling to her. When she told me she sent three of them, I told her that I hope you guys have broadband and not dialup! In any case, I will be showing her the basics of Photoshop, and she'll put the rest up on Photobucket.

I would have shot RAW, but we only had so much space on our five memory cards (three 2 Gb, two 1 Gb). As it was, we took over 2400 photos between us.

Kevin,

 Tell Grace it's ok. I had a nice nap while they downloaded  

 I am looking forward to seeing more of your trip.

 Oh yeah!   HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grace!

OK, here's a couple of my photos (taken with the Olympus SP-500) I have processed for the web (I've only done about 10 so far)  

NOTE TO OTHERS: I'm not passing these off as great photographic art; they're just tourist shots.

The first is the view looking east along the Neva River from the Dvortsovvy Bridge. The large bluish building in the right is the Winter Palace / Hermitage.

The second is looking east over the Gribodoyev Canal, showing the Church on Spilled Blood in the background.

Any comments about these (i.e., how they could be improved) are welcome.
