GOTCHAS:

• The shear complexity!
• Watch out for help videos that are from another version.
• Sometimes a command will just not work as it should. Again the complexity. Always be prepared to SQR, Save-Quit-Restart.
• Beware of file size. A layered photograph can easily reach 250MB and if you convert for
• “Smart Objects” it can double in size. How big is your drive?
• Know what is destructive and what isn’t.
• If something isn't working right, check the tool you have selected and its options. Then check which layer you have selected!
• Bridge CC no longer has some of the features that have come to be expected since they are duplicated in Lightroom which you get if you buy  the subscription to Ps CC.

  The following features are no longer available in this version of Adobe Bridge; Adobe Output Module, Export Panel, Compact Mode, 3D File format thumbnails and previews, Synchronized window. Adobe's full info here.
