Exclusive keywords sort in Bridge?

Currently, if I select keywords "exterior" and "hawaii", I am shown all the pictures that contain EITHER keyword (inclusive). Can Bridge be set to show instead ONLY the pictures with BOTH keywords (exclusive)?

Use Find and set logic to find both criteria.

Keywords in Adobe Bridge CS4

I've been experimenting with Bridge's metadata functionality, and I'm confused about the relationship between keywords that are added to a jpeg in Bridge, and keywords that are added to a jpeg manually (outside of Bridge, by right-clicking file, Properties > Summary > Description > Keywords)? Are the keywords mutually exclusive of one another, or do they relate to the same piece of metadata?
I added some keywords to a jpeg file and then closed Bridge. As expected, the keywords were picked up in Bridge when I re-opened the application, but the keywords were not visible by right-clicking the file and choosing properties > summary > keywords. Are the keywords supposed to be visible in the file properties or are the keywords stored in Bridge's configuration?
I tried searching Google for an answer to this to no avail, so I thought I'd ask in here (Photography seemed to be the best place to post this thread, but apologies if this question belongs somewhere else).
TIA,
Mike

They should be the same no matter where entered. If keywords are not viable in the thumbnail go to edit/preferences/thumbnails and make sure that keywords are checked as "additional lines of metadata".
On my machine right click in CS3 and file info yields keywords. Right click in Windows and properties yields keywords also, but called tags in Vista.

CS4 Bridge Keywords - Delete when Bridge is close.

Greetings
I have gone through and applied keywords to hundreds of images, along with a respective Hierarchy KeyWords as well. As long as Bridge remains open and my computer is on I have access to sort, and find files based on Keywords.
"Close Bridge" : and all Keywords are missing from Keyword pane, excluding the few that are present with Bridge as examples that are always there.
I can, re-select all the images, and the keywords will load again into the Keyword pane, but that takes about hour to manage.
It is like some preference file is not being read, or the Keywords are not saved to the Keywords pane. I have loaded again this App from Photoshop CS4.
One person suggested I go into Preferences and un-click "Read Hierarchy keywords" then open all my image folders and again click on the images to reload the keywords into the Keyword pane again. Then go back to preferences and re-click Read Hierarchy Keywords again, and that everything should be in order. I have done this twice, once with starting Bridge again before re-clicking RHK button again.
Still after two years of having Bridge CS4, I can not used this function to search for images.
And yes, I do select a folder or mounting disk for Bridge to look at for finding the Keywords.
After all this time, has anyone solve the riddle of trying to make this work. I can not update my MAC. I have a PowerPC, Quick Silver, 2002 G4, dual 1000. So 10.4.11 is the last operating system I believe I can use.
Thanks for you help.
Have a good day.

Hello Curt
Thank you for your reply.
This Keyword system was working earlier, that is I could shut off the computer and come back to open Bridge and the keywords were there.
As you suggested the keyword did come up in Italics as I began working with them a few days ago, because someone had responded to an old Thread of mine from this site from almost a year ago. Initially there were coming up as persistent in normal font face.
I followed your suggestion with a smaller batch of Keywords, then shut down the computer and, and they were present when the program came back up.
So Thanks, that works.
This will get me back on the right track again with Keywords.
I have no idea what iniciated a change of from persistent keywords to loosing them all in the past. But at least cognitively, I now have a clear process for getting them to show up again on start.
Thanks again for your reply.

How can I access keywords in adobe bridge after labeling them?

How can I access keywords in adobe bridge after labeling them?

There's a search box in the upper right corner of Bridge. Just type in the keyword and it should show up in the Content Panel.
What if you want to save your search in a Smart Collection? A folder that would permanently hold the results of your search?
You'll love this video.

Losing manual sort in Bridge collections

I installed the latest version of Bridge CC and created several collections. Each collection contains between 10 and 60 images which are all taken from the same Windows directory. The directory contains less than 300 image files. I did this in two sessions. In the first, I created 3 collections and in the second, I created 5 more. Each collection was manually sorted after all the images were added. No additional images were added after the manual sort.
After restarting Windows and opening Bridge CC again, some collections were still manually sorted and some were sorted by filename. All the collections are still showing as manual sort. Can't figure out why some are OK but others are in filename order even though it shows manual sort.
I'm running on Window 8 Pro and have InDesign installed as well. Bridge is not set to start at login.
Now, the only thing I can think of is that when I updated InDesign in Adobe CC this morning, that something may have affected Bridge. But then I would have expected all the collections to revert to filename order and not just some.
Is there a secret to keeping the manual sort in Bridge collections intact? It's not much use to me if it won't. I sort images in the order I want to insert them in book pages.
I checked other threads on this subject but it doesn't look like anything was resolved.
Thanks

DUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
Thanks Curt!
You da man!!!

How do you sort mini bridge manually?

Is there a way to sort mini bridge manually? I have manually sorted images for an album design in Bridge but when I open Mini Bridge in Indesign they are sorted by filename. I do not see a sort option to sort manually. Wondering if anybody has a solution other than to rename files from Bridge.
I am using InDesign and Bridge CS6 on a Windows 7 computer via the Adobe cloud.

Yes, when I do that it sorts the albums in the folder by name.
I may have misused terminology, I meant Smart Albums not smart folders, if this makes a difference.
Thanks for your help!

LR2 and importing keywords from CS3 Bridge

I've just started a 30 day LR trial and need some guidance, please, on successfully importing keywords from CS3 Bridge so that the complete heirarchy survives intact.
I've just imported the keywords to LR2 and found the heirarchy is mostly destroyed.
Also, Bridge allows you put a keyword inside "[ ]" (square brackets) if you want/need that word in the heirarchy but do not want it to be copied to the metadata. After importing to LR2, all the square brackets have gone.
I've imported some photos into LR2 but, when I look at their keywords, all the words which were within square brackets (and so not visible in the metadata in Bridge) are now visible in the metadata in LR2.
Anyone found a solution to this, please? I really don't want to have to re-keyword everything if there's another way.
Thanks, John Walmsley

Ginger
I ran a test for you. Started up my old computer that has windows XP OS. Took a photo and added a keyword by right clicking as your previous post outlined. I then looked at photo in Bridge CS3 on old machine. There was no keyword. Copied to flash drive and looked at photo on Vista computer with Bridge CS3. Still no keyword. Ran a search on Vista advanced for keyword on flash drive, and it gave a hit.
So my conclusion is that the keyword is there, but Bridge does not read the XP generated keyword. It will read a keyword generated by same method in Vista. Don't know what else to suggest. Don't have CS4 so do not know it that works or not.
Perhaps with these clues someone else can figure it out.
Good luck

Update keyword list in Bridge after reinstall?

I've had to reinstall CS3 after an OS reinstall. All my photos are intact, with the Bridge info intact. When I bring them up in Bridge I can see the keywords on the photos just fine.
What I don't get is an updated list of keywords in the Bridge keyword panel. That defaults to the original Bridge install.
Is there any way to get that list - the one in Bridge itself - to regenerate/update based on the keywords attached to my pictures?
Thanks for any help.
Ed

I've solved the Kewords in Bridge problem, thanks to other posts and good backups.
The file "Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml" contains the keywords that are listed inside Bridge. It's located in the Application Data folder (exact name of folder varies by version of Windows and install preferences). I dug up this file from my old install and replaced the one from my new install, and the keywords are now listed inside Bridge.
It was only luck I still had the file; clearly it should be backed up regularly.

Which action "Save as" will remove the keywords created in Bridge?

Which actions will remove the keywords created in Bridge?
I have saved it in PS for web and keywords were deleted.
Thank you.

Remember that if you switch to File - Save As to save your JPEGs with metadata intact, you will also be saving the file with your working color space by default (pay attention to the Color section at the bottom of the File - Save As dialog).
If it is other than sRGB you'll have problems with some browsers displaying your images inconsistently. In that case you may want to consider setting your default color space to sRGB.

Keyword Exchange between Bridge CS2 and Lightroom

Hello,
I was was using bridge CS2 to sort my pics with keywords and EXIF and now switched to lightroom. When I imported the pics everything was OK, data were taken over. When I now use bridge to add new keywords they are not recognized in lightroom and vice versa. Since I want to use both programs in the future how can I "synchronize" data like keywords or EXIF ...
I would be VERY glad if someone could help!!
Kind regards from Germany
Stephan

Yes, but as far as I understand this feature exports/imports all your keywords in a list but not the assingments you made to a photo. For example if I have a photo in bridge with people whose names were newly assigned as keywords. Now I open LR but nothing has changed to the keywords of that picture. So what can I do to synchronize the keywords of the pics (newly assigned/added keywords in bridge to LR or vice versa)?

Keyword sort option...

It would be VERY helpful if you could have the option of having the keywords in the metadata sorted alphabetically along with an option that they are left alone in the order that you pick them (or manually add and edit them) and not be sorted. I am not talking about the xml file that contains the keywords (in Bridge) just the keyword field in the metadata itself.
Many stock agencies require that the keywords appear in the keyword field in order of importance with the most important keywords being first. Currrently we have to dump the keywords and reenter them manually to get them in the right order.
Fred

Speaking of metadata editing I want to raise my points again.
- Spellchecker with customizable dictionary for keywords would be very appreciated.
- Larger keyword input box, resizable along with the metadata editing window.
- Would like to see shortcuts Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins working again.
- One mouse click - 'Select all' is not very convenient. The old way was better.
- Drop down list on click at the right side of the title and the description showing previously entered values (CS3 way) in addition to CS4 drop down list when entering data.
Spellchecker is the most wanted though.
Thank you!

Keywords in Adobe Bridge CC and Lightroom 5 not working

I recently upgraded to Adobe CC. We use Bridge and Lightroom regularly to tether while shooting, batch process and search for images. I have noticed that files I have keyworded in Bridge will randomly lose the keywords attributed with them. When we shoot tethered to lightroom we will keyword as we shoot but those keywords do not show up in Bridge. This is a huge issue for us. We have thousands of images and plan on using bridge as a tool for our designers and marketing team to search seamlessly for photos based on keywords. If they are randomly disappearing or not carrying through from Lightroom to Bridge it becomes completely unmanageable and completely out of our hands. And a completely useless tool. Any suggestions?

Keyword list in Adobe system, bridge and lightroom, need standardizing. That's what I feel.

If I make minor keyword updates in Bridge, how do I update an existing catalog to catch the changes?

Is there a way to update the LR3 keyword hierarchies in existing LR catalogs for minor changes done in Bridge?
I have started to use LR for the first time. I have about 50K photos that are key worded from within Bridge in maybe a hundred sub dirs. The hierarchies seem to work somewhat differently in Bridge than in Lightroom catalogs & don't seem to handshake with each other. Apparently I should have originally turned on the keyword hierarchies in preferences in the Bridge when I originally set the keywords. I have hundreds of keywords without hierarchies. Now I want to correct the (missing delimiters) hierarchies in LR3 (using the most efficient method).
(The hierarchies do not show up on Bridge filters, so I saw no reason to use them originally, when I had fewer keywords). Correcting the hierarchy in LR seems to not go back and correct the Bridge hierarchies. So if there is a way to get the keyword hierarchy to update back from LR to Bridge, that would be the easiest way to fix the hierarchies, but I don't see how to do it. Any suggestions?
thanks,
ron...

It will depend on if you saved the metadata from LR to the file or not. If not and you update the keywords in bridge, you will loose one or the other your choice.
If you saved the metadata, then its a simple matter of just reading the metadata into LR or syncing that file.
If you plan on editing metadata in bridge from time to time, then you need to get in the habit of saving the metadata (ctrl-s in windows) from LR or turn on autosave.

Images not showing up in keyword searches in Bridge CS6

Using Bridge CS6, I'm dropping in stock photos (JPEG) and tagging them with persistent keywords. When it comes time to do a search, a couple of these images are being skipped in the results. Other images with the same keywords are being returned, but not these few offenders.
I've tried resetting Bridge and purging the central Cache.
Any idea why some files would be invisible to the find function?

I've performed the search using both the search field in the top right corner, and using the Find command.
I'm searching the proper source folder, searching for "Keywords" "Containing" <search term>
Matching "any criteria", searching all subfolders and including non-indexed files.
The problem is, if I have 3 files with a keyword of Cathedral or cathedral — delimited by semicolons — a search for "cathedral" in the above manner will return 2 of those files, but not the third.
It looks like I have some problem files that appear in the regular Bridge browser window and have viewable, persistent keywords, but won't appear in search results. They open fine, and the keyword metadata is visible in Photoshop. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Use keywords in Adobe Bridge

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WSBCB2D1F5-98B8-45cc-950A-58E8347FD2F8a .html

When I add three keywords, the file is 5 kb bigger, I think, thats normal, isn't?
Hi Gudrun,
This sounds indeed normal, if this are also the figures (a few kb) that your husband suspects as less instead of more for his old back up this might be caused by writing from one disk to an other disk, that also can cause a bit difference in size.
But if the files are really different he should compare the pixel amount of both files and make also sure the files are not resaved or resized during time between the old back up and the newer files. Resaving in lower quality and reducing size is something Bridge can only achieve using the tools menu for PhotoShop (batch or image processor) or the export module. Keywords panel only can add or delete metadata (keywords, info etc) in the fields that have a pencil so you can alter it.
