Our scanning manager loves CS3 Bridge. Says it's a big improvement. He also says that if you want to preview hundreds of images at a go, use Adobe Lightroom.

Although I cooed over the CS2 Bridge, it's really a bit cumbersome and buggy. When I installed a copy of CS3 at another desk and explored the CS3 Bridge, I immediately requested the CS3 package for my own desk. It's niiiiiice. I've not played with it a lot, but I was immediately blown away by the amount of work they've done between those versions. It's worth checking out.

If you have a large number of large images in a folder (say a few hundred ranging in size from 30MB to 80MB), it will bring all but the most powerful machines to a halt. The single user version of Portfolio is not terribly expensive and works with much lower resource requirements. If can also export metadata in tab-delimited format and do batch updates of the image file headers.
