jcadiram Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi everyone, I've just moved from a Mac to a Windows 10 machine and am wondering the best way is to organise my scrapbooking supplies/elements/kits. I used to use Adobe Bridge on my Mac, but Bridge doesn't play with Windows 10 and high screen resolutions. I have just started using Lightroom to sort my photos, and while I could sort my digital supplies in Lightroom (I think) I don't want them mixed in with my photos. I am really hoping for an alternative to Bridge, which will allow me sort, catalogue, add metadata and generally browse my elements easily, Thanks, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nica Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi Jay! I'm not sure of an alternative that allows you to do all that Bridge does. To sort elements, I use my file structure, not a specific program. Then, I use Picasa as a search engine to look through those folders. I know Picasa is no longer going to be supported by Google, but it's still available for download. That said, one of the things that I'm trying is an app called SageThumbs. It allows me to see thumbnails of my PSD and EPS files via File Explorer. Then, I can search using the built-in Windows search engine. I'm still playing with it and I don't tag my files, so I'm not sure if I recommend it or not... HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodScrap Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Welcome Jay!! I'm sorry...I don't have an answer either...I use Picasa, which I love, but I understand there is no longer support for it. (or it will be discontinued soon.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcadiram Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks so much for the welcomes and the suggestions. I've been having a look at Photoshop Elements as an option too but haven't really tried it out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi Jay, I use the Organizer that is part of Photoshop Elements. There's a learning curve, but once you have it figured out, it works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
