Does anyone use Adobe Bridge to tag?

[Brandi]

I have been thinking about tagging all of my scrap goodies but didn't know what program to begin with. I figure, since I already have Bridge, might as well use that. Does anyone else use it for digi-scrapping? Is the tagging easy? I like the fact everything on my hard drive is already loaded in there automatically so that makes it easy to begin with.

Thoughts?

Yes I do, I love it.

Any tips and/or tricks?

Just keep at it, lol. I tag my stuff as soon as I unzip it. I have different main folders
Lilypad
Anna Aspnes
Everything else
Christmas
These are my favorites on the left hand side
Then I have all my keywords
Designer(kit name under each)
Embellishment ( under that:button, butterflies, stitches, brads, ribbon, border, tags, and so on)
Paper (solid, patterned)
Text (all wordy stuff)
Brushes
Alphas
Paint
Theme (Christmas, baby, summer, Halloween, fall, music, cycling, etc)

I don't use smart collections

I love Bridge and use it to tag, too. My tags are similar to Heather's. I find that many times, those lovely designers will include words like "red" and "flower" in the filenames so you don't have to tag those further. But I tag paper for sure and colors if they're not included in the name. Maybe if it seems overwhelming, just start with the kits that you know you will likely use again?
