To rate files with Bridge

When assigning ratings to files, you can award from zero to five stars. Using the View > Sort menu or Unfilter button,
you can choose to view files according to their rating.
For example, suppose you've just imported a large number of images and are viewing them in Bridge. As you review
each new image, you can rate them from best to worst. After this initial pass, you can view only files you've rated with
four or five stars and work on those.
1 Select one or more files.
Do any of the following:
2
•
In Thumbnail view, click the dot representing the number of stars you want to give the file. (Dots do not appear
in very small thumbnail views. If necessary, rescale the thumbnail view until the dots appear.)
•
Choose a rating from the Label menu.
•
To add or remove one star, choose Label > Increase Rating or Label > Decrease Rating.
•
To remove all stars, choose Label > No Rating.
