How to copy keywords from one image to many in Bridge CS6 (workaround)

I see a few questions about how to do this, but I didn't see this workaround (maybe it's even the workflow Adobe had in mind). Hope it helps others searching for this.
To copy keywords from one photo, and then apply the same keywords to many, in Bridge CS6:
Select one image that has the keywords you want to copy.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field. Select and copy the keywords you want (probably all).
Click Cancel to exit without making accidental changes.
Select the files you want to add the keywords to.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field.
Click in it and paste your copied keywords.
Click OK. Keywords are applied to all files. (NOTE: I think this replaces keywords, rather than adding to them).
I'm using CS6 on OS X 10.6.8.

Sara,
Why wouldn't you just use a Windows .bat file with xcopy statements?  You could even schedule it to run with the Windows task scheduler.

  • How best to copy keywords from one image to another?

    Hey everyone,
    I can't seem to find a good, obvious way in Bridge CS3 2.1 to copy just the keyword tags from one image to another.
    I realize that one possibility is to create a metadata template for the source image and apply that template to the destination image, but this would be a cumbersome & lame workflow IMHO.
    I also realize that Bridge allows loading and viewing many images simultaneously, and that the same set of keywords can then be applied en masse. I'm sure many users like this workflow, but I'm not one of them. For one thing, this approach is seriously not future-proof. What if the user goes out and takes more photos that fit into those same keyword-categories that were applied to the image group?
    It seems to me that Bridge should allow the user to right-click on the list of applied keywords (at the top of the keywords pane) and see a "copy keywords" command. And then the user should also be able to right-click on an image and see a "paste keywords" command.
    Comments appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Brad

    There are many arrows in the shape tool, or you can set the line tool to have an arrowhead in the tool options. You can copy/paste layers from one image to another, or drag a layer from the layers panel into the main image window of another image and then use the move tool to position it. You can also drag into the thumbnail in the photo bin, but you'll still need to bring the image up to adjust the positioning.

  • How do I copy layers from one image to another?

    I am editing figures for a journal and I need arrows for multiple images.  Is there a standard arrow?  I can only see free hand.  If I use a free hand arrow I then want to copy it to the other images for consistency.  How do I copy or share layers between images?

    Hi,
    I think the needed techniques are already described in the documentation, e.g. in
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/e641e4c61256dee10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
    or
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/e641e4c61256dee10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
    The main techiques used in the above example to bind the filter of the planning function to selected (marked) objects in the analysis item or to drop down boxes (or both). These techniques are used in the above examples.

  • How to copy data from one planning area to other planning area

    Hi ,
    I need to copy data from one planning area to other planning area, the MPOS for two planning areas are differant and  here my scenario is one planning area having extra key figures.
    First i need to release forecast data to CIP planning area and then,  i load the data from infocube  to MPS planning area and copy the data from CIP planning area. here both MPS and CIP planning areas having different MPOS .
    Please help me in this. Please give me the stepls i need to follow.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Chandu

    Hi,
    You can use the transaction /sapapo/tscopy.
    In this you can configure your source plng area and destination plng area. You also have an option to map your KF. There is no problem if the MPOS are different as long as you are able to map the characteristics between the 2 MPOS.
    Alternatively, you can create an Infocube which shares common ground between the 2 planning areas and extract data from CIP plng area into the infocube and then copy teh data from infocube to MPS plng area using the the transaction /sapapo/tscube.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Transfering white balance from one image to many images.

    I'm starting to shoot with a gray card to get better color representation in my portraits... I typically shoot RAW.  I've read that you can save the white balance info from one image ( in a DNG file?) and transfer it to other images that are either JPEG or RAW ( as long as the initial image is a RAW). Anyone know how to both save the info, then transfer it?

    It doesn't directly address your question, but another way - sometimes useful for a group of modestly sized set of photos taken in the same light - is to open them all in Camera Raw (e.g., by opening them all in Photoshop), then using the Select All function and adjusting the white balance settings (or choosing a preset).  When done, press Done, and those settings will be saved for each of the images.

  • Can I copy Keywords from one set of files to another?

    I added Keywords to many jpg files when I should have added them to their scanned source files (tifs). Is there an efficient way to copy them from the jpg versions to their tif “originals?” Except for their suffixes, they are identically named. Obviously the keywords assigned to any one jpg can be dragged to its tif version (or to any any other image file). But I have about nine thousand of them, each with its own set of keywords, and each with its own tif source file (with no keywords). Is there a way to automate this? Is there a way to tell the jpgs to transfer their metadata to other files with the same names (minus prefix) or to any other files?
    I’m working in Bridge3 MacOSX.

    The link was for the Photoshop Scripting Forum where you can search the existing threads or ask for help in a new one.
    Seems like this should be a simple procedure expecially with so many people making books from photoshop documents.
    It is not that complicated if you know a little JavaScript and the Photoshop Document Object Model.
    But if you are willing to start from scratch instead of transferring existing guides an Action might also work.

  • Copy effects from one image to another

    Hello folks,
    Using PS CS4 -
    I know I've seen this somewhere, however, I can't find out where in the searches.  Here's the setup and question, I played a tutorial on creating a sketch effect on an image that looks really cool and I'd like to duplicate these effects on other image files.
    In the .psd, I've done some of the following; duplicate the background, desaturate, duplicate layer, invert layer and so-on.  There's about 8 or so things done and I'd like to copy / drag these effects to another image.
    How do I do this and can I do all at one time?
    Thanks,
    Captain

    If you want to perform the same set of steps on multiple images:
    Record an action while performing the steps on an image.
    Play back the action on another image.
    If you want to copy Layer Effects from one place to another:
    In your Layers panel, right-click on the layer you want to copy the effects from and choose Copy Layer Style.
    Now go to your target document, right click on the layer you'd like the effects to be on, and choose Paste Layer Style.

  • How to copy file from one table to another table at another database

    I need to transfer my tables from one workspace and schema to another workspace and schema. Basically I need to create again all the tables at this new schema. How could I transfer data from tha table at old schema to the table at new schema when this table has files stored in it? (data type is blob)
    thank you so much,
    Silver

    Hello Silver,
    Depending which database you're using (if it's available) I would recommend to use datapump.
    Datapump allows you to copy an entire schema to another database, it's the "new" export/import you might now.

  • How to copy file from  one location to another

    Hi,
    I am new to java, I tried the following code to move the file from one location to another
    public class CopyFiles {
    public String copy ( File source, File target)
    throws IOException {   
    FileChannel sourceChannel = null;
    FileChannel targetChannel =null;
    try {   
    sourceChannel =new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
    targetChannel= new FileOutputStream(target).getChannel();
    targetChannel.transferFrom(sourceChannel, 0,
    sourceChannel.size());
    finally {   
    targetChannel.close();
    sourceChannel.close();
    return "Success";
    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception{   
    File source = new File("C:\\users\\download.pdf");
    File destinationFile = new File("C:\\apple\\download.pdf");
    copy(source, destinationFile);
    The above code is working perfectly, but I Don't want to include the file name in destination file. i.e. File destinationFile=new File("C:\\apple"), and at the same time the pdf with same name has to get stored in the destination location, how can I achieve this.

Yes?
    If that's the case, then break the original up into separate directory and file name portions, and then construct the destination path from the destination directory plus original file name. You can do that by manipulating the full path string, or by using the methods in java.io.File.

  • How to copy value from one field to another in a Apex Form

    Hello guys,
    There are 2 addresses one is shipping and other is billing. I do not want the customer to re-enter all the details if it is the same address. So based upon an action, it should take the live values from one address field and populate the other address field. I know in JS you can do it, but how to implement that in Apex?
    I guess using Dynamic Actions to achieve this in Version 4 but do not know how. Read quite some info but no luck.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I have assumed that you have your shipping address at the top of the page, and then further down the page you have your billing address that you want to enable the users to copy (if this is in reverese, you will need to switch the js variables in the code following).
    I would create a Select List item above the 'Billing Address' details, called PX_SAME_ADDRESSThis select list would be static, with the options Null.
    I also assume you would have pairs of address page items such as:
    PX_SHIPPING_ADDRESS_L1
    PX_BILLING_ADDRESS_L1
    PX_SHIPPING_ADDRESS_L2
    PX_BILLING_ADDRESS_L2
    PX_SHIPPING_POST_CODE
    PX_BILLING_POST_CODEThen copy the following code into the HTML Header of the page definition:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function copyAddress()
       if( $x('PX_SAME_ADDRESS').value == 'YES')
         $x('PX_BILLING_ADDRESS_L1').value = $x('PX_SHIPPING_ADDRESS_L1').value;
         $x('PX_BILLING_ADDRESS_L2').value = $x('PX_SHIPPING_ADDRESS_L2').value;
         $x('PX_BILLING_POST_CODE').value = $x('PX_SHIPPING_POST_CODE').value;
       else //Clear Address Fields
         $x('PX_BILLING_ADDRESS_L1').value = " ";
         $x('PX_BILLING_ADDRESS_L2').value = " ";
         $x('PX_BILLING_POST_CODE').value = " ";
    </script>Then, in your PX_SAME_ADDRESS item, copy the code below into the Element > HTML Form Element Attributes field.
    onChange="copyAddress();"Hopefully this works for you too, and should give you some basis to play around with.

  • How to copy data from one table to another (in other database)

    Hi. I would like to copy all rows from one table to another (and not use BC4J). Tables can be in various databases. I have already 2 connections and I am able to browse source table using
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select ...");
    But I would not like to create special insert statement for every row . There will be problems with date formats etc and it will be slow. Can I use retrieved ResultSet somehow ? Maybe with method insertRow, but how, if ResultSet is based on select statement and want to insert into target table? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

    No tools please, it must be common solution. We suceeded in converting our BC4J aplication to PostgreSQL, the MSSQL will be next. So we want to write simple aplication, which could transfer data from our tables between these 3 servers.

  • How to copy window from one smartform in sandbox  to anotherin development

    Hi Friends...Kindly let me know how to copy a window from one smartform which is in sandbox to another smartform which is in Development...Thanks in advance

    <u>Source system:</u>
    In the SSF editior double click on the window you want to download.
    Go to Utilities/Download Subtree and save he proposed XML file on your PC.
    <u>Target system:</u>
    Open the SSF in edit mode; go to Upload and select the same file you just downloaded.
    This will copy the window in the clip board (a message in the status bar should cofirm this).
    Now go to Edit/Node/Paste; this will add the window to your tree in the left hand panel of the SSF editor. All you have to do is to rename it (optional if you want it to have the same name as in the source SSF).
    This is on an NW2004s; hope this works the same way on older versions...

  • How to copy data from one transaction to the next (F-43)

    All,
    I have a situation where it appears the due date of an invoice is being copied from a previous invoice entry.   Can anyone tell me is there a process where the user can have data default from one invoice to the next and if so is the due date (planning date) one of those fields?  
    Thanks
    Sandra

    I understand how it is supposed to work.  However, I have production examples of that not happening and I'm trying to figure out how.   The only way I have been able to replicate the issue is when I manually enter the due date when entering the invoice the calculation of baseline date + #of days does not happen.   Users say they are not manually entering a date so I'm trying to find a way the date could be entered without the users knowledge.  
    Regards
