iPhoto to PScs4 and Bridge

How do I export a folder of photos from iPhoto into PScs4 and then view all those photos in Bridge?
At the moment when I open a folder of photos they are display in iPhoto. If I want to edit one of those photos I click the photo and then click Edit which then opens up in PScs4. Bridge is supposed to allow you to view folders or files of photos as thumbnails for editing and for technical data etc.

I was able to do this in Windows before I moved over to the Mac.

Isn't that what iPhoto does?

You need to choose between iPhoto and Bridge. They do a similar job - though iPhoto is rather more feature rich. Bridge has no way to access the iPhoto Library.

Thank you TD,

I was hoping that once the photos were in Photoshop I could view all the information - pictures, metadate etc - As I see it iPhoto does not give as much information as Bridge nor is the display as good. Maybe I am used to working with Bridge, but to be honest I am not an iPhoto fan.
Can you tell me how I can move multiple photos ie folder, into Photoshop for editing?

Regards
David

Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export.

Decide which version you want to move using the Kind drop down.

Note that any edits done in this way will not be reflected in iPhoto.
