Bridge CS4 Meta data in web album

Hi,
I am looking all over for a way which makes it posibly to show ONLY the description meta data in a web album created with adobe bridge cs4.
I have been able to have a text for each image in a slide show in every free web album I have tryed. Since I started to use bridge, I have been happy to use it for rating images and stuff like that. But can it really be that Meta data is so difficult to handle in bridges web album?... I think only one of the templates makes it possible to check 'Show metadata', but this is ALL metadata.. very many metadata, and definately not what I want. It can not be the case that bridges web album can not show a description or title only from an images meta or can it? Can anyone help me, have I missed something.
Hope someone can help me with some hints.. is it possible to make a web album including only description Meta data for each image?
Thank you very much
Regards
Jens

hmm, maybe bridge is not the right choice after all, maybe Fireworks are better.. but still wondering why this simple possibility is not present in bridge,..

Question about meta-data of Web Dynpro ABAP / Web Dynpro Java

Hello together,
everywhere I can read, that Web Dynpro meta-data is platform independent.
I´ve read into a book, that the meta-data of Web Dynpro Java is saved as XML and
that Web-Dynpro Java Runtime generates runnable classes and sourcecode out of this...
- What about Web-Dynpro ABAP? Is Meta-code in ABAP is saved in XML too?
- just for theory: is ist possible to take the meta-data of a Web-Dynpro ABAP component and
generate a Web-Dynpro Java Component out of this?
I tried to find it out but i failed... In table WDR_RR_LOAD (is this the right one?) I found only the
field data. But this is a RAWSTRING and I don´t know how to make I "readable".
I must know this for my thesis for my studies, not for work.
Thank you very much !!!!
Greetings,
Oliver

Me again,
I am not sure if I understood it right...
The meta-data which describes the visual part of a view is saved as XML and
would be rendered i.e. in the webbrowser... Right?
What about the meta-data of the Web Dynpro application?
Is this meta-code into an other structure or XML too?
Thank you very much.
Many Greetings,
Oliver

Accessing BEx Information Pane (cube meta data) via WEBI

All,
BEx query analyzer shows meta data on the info cube or BEx query. This includes the Author, the last time the cube was refreshed, the info provider name, last refreshed etc.
A customer wants to know how to bring this information into the BOBJ world, particularly Webi.
Can anyone help?

Option to Add Meta Data to Web Page on V3 dashboard

Where is the option to add mata date in the V3 dashboard?

Title Tags & SEO
I worked fine for me but if you want to be sure you can put you own header information into the HTML in your page. I’m going to ramble on because other people may find this information useful
Things have change with search engines and the only thing that is important is your title information in the header and how you write it.
First let's talk about meta tags. Meta elements are HTML or XHTML elements used to provide information about a web page for the search engines and website users.
Such elements must be placed as tags in the head section of a HTML document. These elements are the:
Title Tag,
Description.
Keywords (No one uses these anymore and you can get spam "points" for overuse of keywords on Bing and Google, so just forget them. If you have keyword stuffed "spammy" ones, you probably want to fix those.)
For now it’s back to the basics with SEO! And nothing is more basically important to a site than properly written title tags. You know the ones that used to appear in the little blue bars in your browsers. Most modern browsers try to conceal these, though that doesn't stop them being helpful!
So what is a title tag? Why is it important to SEO, and how do you write the darn things?
A title tag is THE MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE TAG in your page. It tells the search engines what your page is about. It is still vitally important to paid or organic SEO strategy.
Think of title tags like the title of the chapter of a book. It tells people and search engines what your page is about.
Title tags are also part of what makes people decide whether to visit your site when it shows up in the search results. The title tag should contain important keywords to help the search engine determine what the page is about.
NOTE: Every experienced SEO has their own unique methods to doing this, so I'm going to give you best practices along with some of my methods
When you do a search on Google, the information that shows up is in the title tag so you need to write title tags for humans but format them for search engines.
Every page on your site has an opportunity to rank high on search engines for a particular keyword,
Quick Checklist
When you're writing your title tag what do you need to know? Here's a quick checklist with some tips on how to write optimized title tags:
Length: Title tags should be a maximum of 70 characters long, including spaces.
Keyword Placement: Your most important words (keywords) need to be first in your title tag, with your least important words being last in the title tag (most to least).
Keyword Separation: Use pipes | to separate important (keyword) phrases (no commas, underscores, dashes or any other punctuation unless the keyword is written that way).
Wording: Keep your important phrases short and simple. Leave out words that would make it read like a sentence. (e.g., and, if, but, then, etc.)
Company Name: If your company name is not part of the important (keyword) phrases, put it at the end of the title tag or leave it out. If it is part of your important words, put it as the first words in the title tag. Some SEOs will tell you to leave it out. You can leave it in for branding purposes – so people will see the brand and click. This isn't valid for all sites.
DON'T DUPLICATE Title Tags: They must be written differently for every page. Don't mass replicate your title tags.
Make It Relevant: Title tags must be written to be descriptive of the content on the page. (e.g., the About Page would be:
About | Important Keywords | Company Name
or
Important Keywords | About Us | Company Name.
Google & Title Tags
Sometimes Google doesn't like your title tag. In fact, sometimes Google thinks it can pick a better one, so it will rewrite the tag for you. There are several places it might get this information, most of them you won't prefer to one you crafted yourself.
While there isn't any assurance your title tag won't be replaced, make sure you write a title tag that is page related, content descriptive, short and sweet, and not keyword stuffed. This is your one defense.
Keyword Stuffed Title Tags
You've probably come across badly written title tags that try to rank for everything or repeat a word over and over. Keyword stuffing is the worst offense when it comes to title tags. (You will be penalize)
Say your site is trying to rank for Blue Bells and Yellow Bells. Many times you will see the main keyword repeated multiple times across the title tag. It might appear like this:
Blue Bells, Yellow Bells, All Types of Bells | Bells Bells and More | Doors.com
This is bad title tag writing. You don't need to repeatedly write the keyword. Google especially can pick up the keywords like your eyes can read them, so you would best to rewrite this as
Blue & Yellow Bells | Doorbells | Doors.com
We removed the extra words, combined the products (if possible you would split these products to separate pages, a blue and a yellow, but this isn't always feasible or desirable) and added a category keyword which would appear in the middle of the title tag on all doorbell related page titles, then end it with the domain name (again this is for branding purposes – there are also good reasons to not do this, it depends on the SEO).
Now our title tag is short, sweet, simple, and to the point. We have also categorized it and added in branding for good measure.
We also took out the word "and" and replaced it with an ampersand (&) so that you don't accidentally relate the two items and make Google think you want people who are looking for Blue AND Yellow Bells.
And there you go, a basic lesson in title tag writing. This can be the most challenging and fun part of any SEO's work! Or should that be "Inbound Marketer's" work?
Some Title Tag Writing Examples
Let's look at a few examples of writing title tags with actual examples.
If your important words (keywords) were "Charlie Sheen" and "Winning" your title tag would be written in that order:
Charlie Sheen Winning
Charlie Sheen would be the first words in the tag.
Now what if we had more than one set of words? What if my keywords were "Charlie Sheen Winning" and "Tiger's Blood"? Your title tag would still be written with "Charlie Sheen Winning" as the first words in the tag. Then you would add a pipe | and "Tiger's Blood" as the second phrase:
Charlie Sheen Winning | Tiger's Blood
Don't use hyphens, underscores, commas or any other type of character – just pipes.
Now what if we had more than one set of words and a company name we were not worried about optimizing for (the company name was not part of the reputation issue). If my words were "Charlie Sheen Winning" and "Tiger's Blood" and "CBS", you would separate these three phrases with pipes, with CBS last and farthest from the beginning, which Google sees as the least important phrase:
Charlie Sheen Winning | Tiger's Blood | CBS
The company name can be repeated in every title tag as long as it as not part of the important words and appears at the far right end of the title tag.
What about sentences? Couldn't you just write a sentence such as "Charlie Sheen Says Winning And Tiger's Blood And Gets CBS Riled Up"? You could, but those extra words like "says", "and", and "riled", dilute your important words and make them less important to content, so best to keep it short, simple, and clear. Leave out the extra words.
Once you’re finish with all of this its time to submit you pages to the search engines. You will need to create an XML & HTML sitemap.
WebAssist Surveyor – Build and submit HTML and XML sitemaps in Dreamweaver
http://www.justdreamweaver.com/blog/2008/07/webassist-surveyor-build-html-and-xml-sitemaps -in-dreamweaver/
Don’t forget to check each page ranking monthly and make the necessary tweaks to your title information as needed. (Each page needs to rank for a unique key word on your site)
I’m going to stop now but that’s only the start of organic search engine optimization.

Bridge window/meta data text size

Is there a way to increase the text size in the Bridge window and panels? I especially want to increase the size of the metadata text. Thanks.

Not in CS4, which is the last version I decided to buy. That bug must, therefore, have been introduced in CS5.
<rant>
Just about every single time I drop by this forum and/or the Photoshop Macintosh forum, I read something that reassures me as to my decision to stop buying Adobe products.
Of course, I'll keep on using the ones for which I already own a license. But Adobe is far, far from being the corporation it was when I became a customer, right when Adobe started, over a quarter of a century ago.
As I typed many, many moons ago (August, 2009):
Adobe is now a decaying, elephantine, unresponsive, gargantuan and disorganized bureaucracy that is slowly but inexorably crumbling. That decay affects software development as well, not just customer service.
It's not just the forums going to pot, it's the entire gamut of customer service, tech support and it's reflecting in the applications too.
That decay began becoming painfully obvious during the Bruce Chizen era shortly after the Macromedia merger… …which probably coincided with the idiotic concept of the "Creative Suites" that forces the premature release of applications.

Bridge CS4-Changing date in metadata

I had the wrong date and time in my camera (Canon 1D M III). How can I correct this in the metadata?
Thanks,

If I remember correctly, from discussions some time ago, there is no option to change "date shot" in Bridge. Might be able to do it in other programs.

Can you create meta-data templates in Lightroom?

At the moment, I'm using a workaround whereby I add a photo with some of the meta-data to an album then I sync meta-data. But it's a bit of a hassle and I know you can do it in Elements.

You need to look in the application support folder.
Go into LR's Preferences , Presets tab, Location section, click Show Lightroom Presets Folder.
That opens Finder/Explorer. Open the folder "Lightroom" and look for "Metadata presets". You can copy this folder, or individual files, to the same place on the other computer.

Photoshop Meta Data File Sizes

I am using meta data "description" menu to add meta data to web images.
The basics:
title
description
keywords
copyright
Thats is about it for my application....so far and like I say it is just for web images at this point.
At any rate to me surprise I did not realize how much the meta data added to file size.
I had assummed it was minimal but in fact that is not the case. Meta data ends up adding a lot.
Question:
So is there a way in Photoshop to see what the final file size will be with the meta data included as I have found, so far, is the image itself file size when I view the
"Saving for Web & Devices" menu screen.
Also tried the "Info" menu and neither indicate the meta data additons ito an images file size.
One of the reasons is, of course, that I would like to get as many keywords in there as possible, as an example lets say this was the logo or site's header and they have a lot of different products.
The more keywords the better the SEO results will be. I am sure this statement in itself is disputable but as of now 5/2013 it appears that way as far as SE's are concerned.
Tested this extensively and the result were remakable, but that is another story.
Any help or links to other infomration will be
greatly appreciated
thank you
Jonny

I new that was a big mistake saying it that way.
I was focused on the file size issue.
Trying to use more efficient effective keywords for an image that represents several products.
As a simple example let's say the site focused on pencils, pens, and paper clips.
So just using one of those keywords or even just two of them would be misleading to the site visitor.
So in my opinion using all three would be most effective.
I don't intend to use red pens, black pens, purple pens, metal paper clips, plastic paper clips, colored paper clips, etc.
But that is not my point anyway. What a pain in the *** it will be to try this, save it, try that, save it, blah, blah, blah,etc.
Thank you very muich for taking the time to respond and KNOW that I greatly appreciate your advise.
You confimred my suspicions.
I did find a PS CS5 Plug-in that would supposedly make this task easier but i am very suspicous, won't waste my time.
Took a copy of the default "raw data" from the "File Info" menus and pasted that into BBEdit (XML or whatever) and the file size increased by about 3.5k with just the default "raw data", whoa.
So with experimetation, as you suggest I may get and idea of size more or less.
I was hoping I was making it harder than it was but Adobe has not responded either.

Changing Meta Data in Bridge CS4

I have Bridge CS4.
I imported about 800 photos from two cameras.
Unfortunately the date of one of the cameras was incorrect an so I cannot sort in true sequential date/time captured.
What I do have is a list of two halves. One half Camera 1 in sequence followed by Camera 2, in sequence.
I need to mesh the images in actual/correct time captured in an automated, non-manual way.
I selected File > File Info... > and put the correct date in the IPTC tab. Nothing changed, so I'm not sure how to complete the process.
Given the number of images that I require to re-date I would like to make a batch change to the date only....the time element is near enough.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

Thanks Curt
That's useful to know.
I believe the/a TP product is ShootShifter
Kind regards

Bridge CS4 Web Galleries - Adding New Web Gallery Presets

Hi. How can i import new web gallery presets into Bridge CS4, for example from lightroomgalleries co? Im on a French Win XP and Photoshop CS4. I know i have to create a folder within Common Files/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/. If i see it right, i have to create another styles folder within that? I manage Bridge CS4 to offer the imported preset in the presets menu, but the results look generic, not like what the preset should do according to the description on the web site. So what can i do?
Are there other sources for other gallery presets?
I would also like to know how to set the name that the Presets menu uses. Ive seen this .dat file which seems to control the names for the menu, but wasnt able to change the name appearing in the menu.
For that, I had copied a complete style like 03filmstrip, changed the xml files and renamed the folder to 09filmstripVariant. Thus it appeared with the original name, but at position 9 in the menu. I didnt find out how to make it appear with a new name.
In these names for Bridge gallery presets, are there certain characters i must avoid like underscore, minus or blank?
Thanks for all clear info!

Hi all It is still possible to create webgalleries and contactsheets in CS4, but you have to copy some files and folders from a folder called Goodies which you can find on you install disk or download as extras from Adobe.com. In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write: "1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug- Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/ Automate folder 2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

Bridge CS4 - Save/Print Photos from Web Gallery

I have only been using Bridge CS4 for the last couple months to put web galleries on a web page. I don't know how to change the settings to allow people to save/print the photos from the web gallery once it is posted on the website. I used to create the photo album in Macromedia with "create web photo album" but this was apparently replaced with Bridge, but the old method allowed for saving and printing. Any help is appreciated on allowing this to happen with Bridge web gallery.

Solved!
This works for Windows. I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
 var alteredName;
 while (true)
 alteredName = "_";
 for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
 alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
 alteredName += ".jpg";
 var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
 if (!f.exists)
 break;
 return alteredName;
...with the following:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
 var alteredName;
 while (true)
 alteredName = "_";
 alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
 var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
 if (!f.exists)
 break;
 return alteredName;
You can cut and paste the above. Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
Cheers!

Batch change creation date meta data in Bridge?

In Lightroom i can change the meta data on multiple files to be increased by say 2 minutes and all the creation times are adjusted. Can this be done in CS4 bridge???

In Bridge you can not change the date created. That is time stamped by camera when you take the picture.

Bridge CS4 web output

I am trying to do a web album in CS4 bridge ....I have done this before and all been ok ....but now when I go to preview my album it only does 10 photos instead of the 30 I have selected....the same photos keep coming up ....i have changed the photos to a new folder and still only 10 show up .
Any help will be good
Mike

To conserve space Bridge only displays 10 photos in the preview, but it will save the full amount chosen to the file.

Using CS3 Web Photo Gallery Control Panel in Bridge CS4?

I found where the styles are located in the library, and it doesn't look like the old templates will work with the new Output feature of Bridge. I want to use my old templates from CS3 that I have customized, and would like to use them with Bridge. I have installed the extra Goodies, but they will only work through Photoshop, not Bridge.
Is there a way to have Bridge>Tools>Photoshop bring up the legacy version control panel for the Web Photo Gallery?
Thank you:)

Hi Paul,
I'm not a Lightroom user, but the new Web Photo Galleries that come in CS4 are in Bridge. They are Lightroom templates, so there's probably not much difference. I just tried building a gallery in CS4 Bridge with 35 files, and I could not preview more than 10 either through Bridge or in a browser by pressing the preview button. The only way to preview the entire gallery before uploading was by saving the folder, then opening the index file in a browser.
Web Photo Galleries can be created in Photoshop and Bridge CS4 just like they were in previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge. You do need to configure it using the optional Goodies files since it is not part of the initial installation. It's real easy. The link I posted above has more information. Here it is again:
http://generatex.com/cs4.html
If you do that, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll have the option of creating web photo galleries with html templates in Bridge or Photoshop CS4, previewing them easily (regardless of size), and have the option of using the new Lightroom flash templates in Bridge CS4.

Anyone see changes in images when making a web gallery through Adobe Bridge cs4??? Please Help!

When creating web galleries through adobe bridge CS4 the final gallery images become very orange.....
Not even comparable to what we are seeing in Bridge or Photoshop CS4....
Adobe tells me that this is happening because of the conversion for web use.
We are just noticing this change now and feel that there is a problem somewhere.....
Has anyone else seen this issue or now anything to do to get it fixed???
It's really annoying, Please Help!!!

You probably want to ask this in the Bridge forum. From what I know, Bridge converts the profile to sRGB which helps avoids big color shifts if you view the images in an uncolormanaged web browser. This may change the appearance slightly, but there shouldn't be a huge shift.
