About the File Browser window

The File Browser helps you to manage and organize your images. To open the File Browser, choose File > Browse or Window > File Browser, or click the File Browser button  in the options bar. The File Browser window is made up of several areas.

Palettes area

The palettes area contains four palettes: Folders, Preview, Metadata, and Keywords. You can use the Folders palette to navigate through the folders on your computer (see Working with files and folders). Thumbnails of images appear in the Preview palette (see Viewing images.) The Keywords palette helps you organize your images by attaching keywords to them (see Working with keywords). The Metadata palette contains metadata information for images (see Working with the metadata palette).

Toolbar

At the top of the File Browser, the File Browser toolbar contains menu options and shortcut buttons to help you efficiently work with your files. The location bar is directly below the shortcut buttons.
