Bridge CS3 has significantly updated it’s UI, especially in the area of displaying camera specific metadata. Wade Heninger, UI designer for Bridge has this to say about the design:
“The push for this design was two fold:
1. To represent photographic data in a form that was quick to recognize because it speaks the photo shorthand photogs were used to with their cameras
2. We could maximize the metadata presentation – it lets us put 11 items in the space normally reserved for 4 or 5 items in a scrolling list. Furthermore, it put like-items near to each other in a grid that was easy to memorize.”
