Dang! I'm guilty of this myself at times, even though I DO know
better! I need to come up with a better system, since I often lose
originals because I was forced to create them in a time crunch, and am
more focused on the document than saving the graphics. A piss-poor
excuse, I know.
Tell me - do any of you have a preferred way of indexing graphic
elements so they can be easily found in the future? I'm new to Adobe
Bridge - but if I understand it, that's a big part of what this software
is for.
Any thoughts?
