Aperture Metadata and Bridge Metadata

I am a photographer and my workflow is to import all my images into Aperture library and add metadata.
When exporting an image is it possible to integrate Apertures metadata with Bridge metadata? This is important feature as most people do not import images with Aperture. The issue is that many of the field names are different or non existent between the two programs. For example Location field in Bridge is Sub location in Aperture.
Can you add fields such contact info such as URL, email that are included within Bridge ITPC Metadata?
Is there a way to customize the metadata fields to work with CS3?

Unfortunatelly, not really.
I am currently using Nikon Transfer (latest version) to download the pictures from the camera. This software allows me to enter quite a number of IPTC data (including contact information, url, mail, phone, etc.), but maybe not all which are available in CS3.
Then I do import the pictures from the folder into Aperture where I only add contact information in the respective IPTC field. From the tests, I did I do know, that with this step I am using the "old IPTC standard" with Aperture and the new IPTC standard with Nikon Transfer. Clearly the newer is better and meets the needs you described.
In Aperture, I do only see the IPTC data fields, which are common between the two standards (copyright, keywords and description).
When I go to CS3 Bridge, I can see the IPTC data from both, but only of you turn on the "IPTC old" in the Photoshop Bridge settings.
This is how far I have come. I have tested the export with the original and the aperture work copy. As a test reader/viewer of the pics I used Photoshop Elements 5.0 ... but except the copyright information, key words and description, I could not find "my" IPTC data. So there was no contact info. This may be a problem of the old version, so I also checked on a windows PC the file properties (picture viewer), which has more or less the same information.
So the only work around maybe to add contact information into the copyright field - which is not ideal.

  • Lightroom metadata and Bridge compatibility

    Dear members:
    I have some questions I would like to have answered prior to deciding whether I should invest on Ligthroom and thought I would post them here to get some input. They are:
    1. Is metadata assigned to a DNG file by Lightroom interchangeable with Bridge ? Are both applications equivalent in the way they assign metadata and process image files ?
    2. Is the processing of RAW files by Lightroom the same as that done by Bridge ? In other words, are the same Camera Raw algorithms used by both Bridge and Lighroom ?
    3. Can I process images in Lightroom while keeping these images in their own folders without having to import these images into Lightroom's own database ?
    Thank you in advance for your help and answers,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    1. Yes
    2. For equivalent releases.
    Bridge 4 and LR 1.0, LATER 4.1 and LR 1.1
    3.You keep images where you want. Still have to import images for the dB functions that LR is all about. It is a Metadata editor, so >import.
    Read the LR FAQ and recent forum threads and you will gain a better insight int LR. Also just download the Trial and try it for yourself for 30 days. The Best way to learn what it is all about.

  • Aperture 2 and new metadata information

    I have just upgraded my 1.56 library to Aperture 2.0 library and am very impressed by the general speed of operation, especially the query hud which is very fast indeed. However one thing puzzles me. When I upgraded my library all the existing metadata is carried through to the new library but the new exif fields remain empty. This is important to me as I need to kow the lens model I am using on each image. What is strange is that if I drag (or import) images into a new project all the metadata fields are filled including the lens model fields. My question to the Aperture team (or any knowledgeable users) out there is how do I get the missing metadata fields filled up without losing any of the existing IPTC field and keyword data that I have painstakingly completed over the last few years on my existing images.
    Message was edited by: Trevor Craig

    I just solved my own problem.
    1. Export Raw images as masters and tick embed IPTC information
    2. Start a new Aperture library and the exported masters all back in again
    All information is now available in the metadata fields. The downside is you need 2x storeage initially to do this and will loose your edits from version 1.56.
    I suppose you can't have everything sorted!

  • Simple Bridge script will not read metadata and triggers Adobe Stock Photos

    I have been trying to learn to write scripts for bridge but can't get past the most basic tasks. When I run the script on an open window in bridge it throws an "Uncaught exception metadata" error. The most bizarre thing is it sometimes causes an Adobe Stock Photo script to launch in the extendscript toolkit and throw and the "Uncaught exception metadata" error in that script. My script is as follows:
    #target "bridge"
    if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge")
    var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails
    for (i=0; i< items.length; i++)
    item = items[i]
    md=item.metadata
    md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
    Window.alert(md.Title)
    Window.alert(i + " "+ " Files Finished")
    Basically I was asking to extract the title of each thumbnail from the metadata and show it in a window. I figured if I could do something as basic as that then I could move on and tackle the more complicated tasks that I need to do.
    Any ideas of what is going on? Has anyone else accidentally triggered Adobe Stock Photos?

    Another bit of info....   As I looked at this further, it seems to be occuring only on those photos where I previously ran camera raw from CS3. I've upgraded to CS5 but have not rerun camera raw since. I understand the camera raw engine in CS3 was different. Could this be involved? Could Lightroom be changing the metadata because the engine is updating the information and I have to save TO file to get this to synch?
    update about this camera raw engine possibilty..... it would not appear to be the answer. I have some files that synch even tho lightroom develop says they are using the 2003 process version. I have some files that are on the new version that won't synch.

  • Is there a way to export photo images and their metadata from Adobe Bridge to MS excel?

    Is there a plugin, or script that allows photos and their metadata to be exported from Adobe Bridge to Microsoft excel?

    I would like to see the description with the image when it is attached to an email.  I would also like to be able to create a DVD of the images that would include the descriptions when the DVD is played back.
    For that you will need iDVD to create a slideshow of the images and then display either the Title, Description or both as shown below and then burn to disk creating a video DVD to play on a TV set:
    If you want the description on the image itself you'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of those below or the free watermark iPhoto plugin, BorderFX.

  • Shortcut-Bug in Bridge CS6 for Mac / Bridge cant' copy and paste metadata

    The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
    This bug only appears in the file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6, the shortcuts or copy and paste from one field to another works.
    The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
    I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work. Bridge CS6 and ACR 7 are very good and meet my expect ions or needs - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.
    It would be nice, if you could forward this to Adobe engineers that they can fix it.
    Thanks so much!

    Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

  • Where is the original date recored in metadata Pro and Bridge

    I am looking for the original date that DV video was recorded. All I am seeing after a capture is the date of the capture. Is there some setting to make sure that the date of the original recording is captured? Is there some bridge menu/option to show the date if it is already there. I using WinDV to capture DV video and it put the date in the file name of each scene, but I am having other issues with WinDV now and think that the metadata of Bridge is in a more useful format than the file name process. Thank you. I have searched the instructions and forums for both CS3 and CS4 and cannot find where this is described as possible.
    Currently I am using CS3 Premier Pro and Bridge
    Windows XP
    If this is only available in CS4, this would probably be enough of a reason to move to CS4.

    Steve,
    I don't believe that PPro records this data, either in the file header or in a metadata sidecar file--at least, I've never been able to make it available. It's a good feature request, but unfortunately is not a capability at this time.

  • Why is metadata so different in Prelude as compared to Lightroom and Bridge?

    As a still photographer now shooting video, I'd like to have a similar workflow for video clips that I have for my still images for metdata entry. However, metadata seems to be completely different for video. I'd like to be able to enter common metadata entries for my still and video images at the same time. Both Lightroom 4.2 and Bridge CS6 make it look like this is possible, but the metadata only seems to be available from within those programs and doesn't transfer outside the program either in the file itself or in xmp sidecar files. I looked at Prelude and the metadata categories are completely different. I'm mostly concerned with the IPTC fields and the GPS fields that Lightroom applies using the Maps function. I understand that video has additional fields unique to video, but IPTC and GPS seem like they could be shared. My ultimate goal is to catalog the video files in our DAM, Canto Cumulus, which is accessible by hundreds of users. Photo Mechanic seems to write IPTC to an XMP file for video files, which can be read by Cumulus. It seems like Adobe should have similar functionality. Am I missing something?

  • Nikon D80 JPGs and PS3 Bridge metadata editing

    PS3 Bridge will show thumbnails of Nikon D80 JPGs, but will not allow editing or additions to Metadata to be saved in Bridge.  PhotoShop CS3 will allow adding, editing and saving metadata in the File Info section, but I can't edit it with Bridge.
    Yeah, I need to upgrade to CS4, but can't get the bean counters to sign off on it!

    Workaround.  I created a metadata template in PS3 and Saved it.  Then created an action that applied the template to the image in PS3 and saved the action.  Then I went to Bridge and selected all the files and ran a batch on all of them that ran the action and saved the file.  Now each file has the metadata common to them all in the metadata when looking at them in Bridge AND they can all have unique metadate ID added and saved in Bridge.

  • Copying Metadata and Keyword Info when installing Bridge on new computer

    Hi, I've just purchased a new computer and have installed Bridge CC on it, but I couldn't figure out what files from my old computer I need to copy/move over so that I can access the metadata and keywords that I had customized in Bridge on my older computer.  Both are Bridge CC so there should be versioning issues.
    Can someone give me a step by step on what files to copy and replace?
    Thanks,

    Sigh, it's bad enough that Adobe tech support gave you conflicting information, but for them to shun responsibility by directing you to a user forum is completely unacceptable.
    Having said that, I have the following suggestions:
    From what I've found on MSDN, that error is generated because either the Adobe software installed on your computer is performing an illegal or conflicting operation; or some Windows system files have been deleted or moved.
    So, the things to try are:
    Simplify matters by uninstalling all the Adobe software -- PSE8, Premier elements, PSE9, the whole works.  Restart your computer and then install only PSE9.
    If you still get the error, use System File Check to repair the system files:
    Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click
    Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command
    Prompt, and then click Run as
    administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for
    a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
    Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
    sfc /scannowThe sfc
    /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect
    versions with correct Microsoft versions.
    Be patient, it can take a while.  After running sfc, even if it reports it didn't find any files to repair, it really did, so restart your computer.

  • Metadata not synched in LR and Bridge

    I am confused. Metadata that I apply to an already imported image in LR does not show up when the image is viewed in Bridge. Metadata that I apply in Bridge does not show up when the already imported image is then viewed in LR. Hmmm, is this supposed to be this way or is there something that can be done to synch the images?
    It looks like the metadata applied in LR stays in LR only (after reading the help files). This seems to imply that it could be a disaster to use both LR and Bridge for working with your images. It looks like only Bridge truly writes metadata to the file itself rather than just being "associated" with the thumbnail that LR uses.
    Any help understanding would be appreciated.

    If you want to switch between LR and Bridge often, you should turn on the option "Automatically write changes into XMP" in the "File Management" tab in the LR preferences. (I guess to get started you'll have to export all metadata into XMP once as well: Select all images, "Metadata > XMP > Export XMP Metadata to Files".

  • InDesign document and metadata from Bridge

    I was watching a Bridge videocast that (I thought) showed entering a headline or description of an image in Bridge and the headline/description showed up as a photo caption when the image was dragged into an InDesign document.  I've tried this several times with no success.  Can I really create a photo caption that travels with the image from Bridge metadata to my InDesign document?

    Luck - I found this fairly quickly.  It was on adobe TV;  the video is by Rufus Deuchler and here's the link:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/csinsider-design/adobe-bridge-cs4-/
    At about 4 minutes and 30 seconds, he talks about metadata and he says, by filling in headline or description, you can create a caption in InDesign.
    It would be truly wonderful if anyone could tell how to do this.
