Mini Bridge InDesign and color label.

Hello everyone, I'm just start to use InDesign, it's a great experience!
I'm a photographer and I use the software for my photo book, but I have a little problem with mini Bridge, is it possible to set a color label to the pictures?
In this way I can recognize the picture used from the others. (sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand)
Thanks for your help.

Right click - go to review mode.
Then right click on images to add a label.
I think you can change labels and colours in bridge itself.

  • Item appears twice in Mini Bridge InDesign CS6

    One of our guys here keeps seeing duplicate items in Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6. When looking at the folder in Bridge, Finder or Windows Explorer, we can see just one of each image in there, but looking at the folder via Mini Bridge shows one or two of the images in duplicate.
    It seems it doesn't matter which of the duplicates he drags on the page, either of them works fine. But it is cluttering up his Mini Bridge panel and he's worried that he might accidentally delete items by trying to get rid of the duplicates.
    It only affects this one user. I've suggested deleting his InDesign preference files it's not fixing the problem.
    Any suggestions? I have to say that Mini Bridge in InDesign CS6 has been surprisingly problematic compared with CS5. I wish Adobe had left it alone.

    I suspect the problem is in Bridge, not ID.
    Try clearing the Bridge caches or, if that doesn't work, resetting the Bridge prefs. On my Windows system you can do either of those by holding down Ctrl + Alt + Shift as Bridge starts up. On Mac I presume Cmd + Control + Opt + Shift would work the same.

  • I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label.

    I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label. when I click on the filter drop down, color label is not one of the options.  how do I get both ratings and color lables as an option to sort with.

    You can Filter (not sort) on both color label and rating if you want, open the Filter Bar with the backslash key, then click on Attribute, and then select the stars and color label of interest. If you really meant "sort" and not filter, then you can't do this in Lightroom.

  • How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

    How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge?  I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge.  I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

    I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR  read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4?  I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck.  It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files.  thanks gain.

  • Why doesn't Bridge recognize the color labels I've applied to images in Lightroom?

    I used to mark images yellow in LR if I needed to do further work on them in Photoshop.  Once exported as jpegs, I'd open them in Bridge and sort for color labels.  In the last year or so, Bridge stopped seeing those labels.  It doesn't work in CS4 or CS6.

    Thank you for your prompt response, Victoria!   I did what you said and made the labels match.  I then restarted both Bridge and LR and exported a file as a test.  It didn't work.  The image marked with a label in LR shows no label in Bridge.  I even restarted the computer and it still doesn't work.  Is there something else I can try?

  • Metadata Label and Color Labels

    As I wanted to sort my pictures on subject I chose to put the name in the Metadata Label Field as the Label Text is available for that purpose (I would have expected the caption text for this purpose). When I put a text in the Metadata Label field a white color label field is shown in grid view below the thumbnail but a white color label is mentioned nowhere in the Lightroom documentation. The sorting works perfectly but when I apply a color label to that picture the text that was put in the Metadata Label field is replaced by the name of that color label so that the sorting is disturbed!
    One way to overcome this is making the caption text to be used for sorting, another to prevent applying a color label name to the Metadata Label field. So I don't know if this is to be considered a bug report or a feature request.
    By the way some of the other reasons for the 2.1 version are clearly working as I've noticed.

    Thanks Don, I've never used color labels either but as I didn't know that the white label was due to this I deleted all of them (fortunately only in one collection) and thereby also deleted all Label texts!
    I am now using 2.1 also but the Color Label shown in the footer of the thumbnail stays white.
    Anyway it would be nice to be able to use Caption text for sorting as this is useful in other respects too!
    And mentioning the White Color label in the documentation would be helpful also.

  • ACL's and color labels...

    The short version: I setup some ACL stuff (that I don't really understand) in order to share some files that previously belonged to only one user. Now I can't change the color labels in Finder.
    The long version:
    I share an iMac at work and recently decided to create my own account to keep my settings separate from the other person's. I tried moving our projects folder, managed fonts folder, iPhoto library, etc. into the Shared user folder, but iPhoto wasn't having it. The original account was fine with the change, but my new account was locked out. So, I found a little tutorial online (link below) about sharing the iPhoto library in the Shared user folder with some Access Control List (ACL) stuff. Anyway, I have everything running smoothly, but I can't seem to change the color labels in Finder. I control+click the folder and all the color label options are "grayed" out; I can't click on them. I was able to set a color label to a new folder, but I can't remove or change the label on an old folder.
    Here's the command I used, followed by a link to the complete tutorial I used:
    sudo chmod +a "UserName allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
    /Users/Shared/iPhoto\ Library
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050904072808460&lsrc=osxh
    So.... what's going on and how do I fix it? ; )
    Oh yeah, the iMac is a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with Mac OS X 10.4.11

    you need to expand that command a little.
    Try this one
    *sudo chmod -R +a "staff allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,chown,file_inherit,directoryinherit" path/to/folder*
    as before, instead of path/to/folder put the path to the folder you are doing this to.

  • Photo from Lightroom2 Bridge InDesign and retain edits

    I use a Mac, CS3 and LR2. I am can view edits from photos (JPG, TIFF, or DNG) in LR in Bridge. The problem arises when I try to import/place/drag those images into inDesign - the edits do not follow with the image.  Is there something I have to change, or is this not possible?!
    Thanks!

  • CS6 Mini Bridge - Thumbnail size and preview

    I've just upgraded to CS6 (design & web premium) and was setting up my workspace in InDesign, and after adding (docking) Mini Bridge there seems to be no preview or anyway to change the size of the thumbnails I can view.
    I use Mini Bridge a lot as we have folders that include 100+ assets in, and it's good to see a small thumbnail to quick scan, then to click on it to see more detail.  Now all I can see is a maximum of 6 thumbnails, which means I will need to scroll a lot to find anything.
    I've read the following topic from the PS CS6 Beta forum (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4286375#4286375#4286375), and was wondering if this "as designed" thinking has been rolled over to  InDesign, meaning that in order to  change the thumbnail size (with no preview), I have to have Mini Bridge undocked and if I want to see more detail, I have to enlarge the thumbnail, then reduce again to carry on searching?
    If so, it seems like a massive oversight, as InDesign is a layout tool and having easy access to multiple documents to include (and to see what they are) is vital, which isn't helped by the seemingly arcane way to access folders.
    Hopefully this is me just being a bit dim and missing something obvious, otherwise it's going to cause a lot of hassle in my day to day work.
    If anyone has a definitive answer, that would be great.
    Cheers.

    Adobe needs to realize that if "as designed" results in users thinking it's a bug or otherwise not useful — then it's a bad design choice and should be revised. They need to leave options in place for people that don't agree with some of their "new" aka bad ideas.
    Assuming users don't want to use Mini Bridge vertically is just ridiculous — especially since you can't dock it to the bottom in InDesign like you can in Photoshop.
    And not showing folders in the thumbnail view is most unintuative thing to do here. If it's a Mini Bridge, why doesn't it behave like bridge and at least have a check box for filtering out folders or something.
    Mini Bridge is kind of useless now.

  • Mini-Bridge hangs in Indesign CC

    Using Mac OSX Maverick on an Imac. Running 8mb of Ram. I have been an Indesign user since ID2 came out.
    Prior to upgrading to Maverick, I did not have a problem with the mini-bridge in IDCC. Since the upgrade, I am constantly getting the "waiting for bridge" message and it just sits there. One time it sat there overnight, spinning and "waiting on bridge". The problem is so bad I've abandoned mini-bridge completly and rely on Adobe Bridge. This is an acceptable solution but it does take a tad bit longer to switch out of ID, find the artwork I'm looking for, drag it to a box and then switch back to ID to resize it.
    I have searched the forums and have tried the solutions that have been posted but most of those were for ID CS5 or earlier. And none of them have solved the problem.
    I have deleted all the Adobe Creative Cloud software from my computer and have downloaded new versions. Still doesn't solve the problem. I tried creating a new user on my computer and it solved it for a short time, but created other problems since all my files are on my main user.
    Tried communicating with Adobe tech support which reminds me of the old saying about female anatomy features on a male pig. Even got bumped up to a Tier 2 support person, who actually suggested erasing my hard drive and reformating.  Not going to happen.
    Anyone have a more reasonable solution?

    Steve. Removed all autoload software except for Flash. No joy.
    mini bridge still not functioning properly.
    I removed the autoload software, rebooted. started bridge and rebuilt preferences and deleted cache. Started Indesign. Open mini bridge window. opened document and attempted to use mini-bridge to place art on page.

  • Mini Bridge gone in InDesign

    Hi,
    In InDesign tend to be a Mini-Bridge palette from which to retrieve items from Bridge. It has disappeared.
    I have uninstalled all Adobe applications incl. Creative Cloud and deleted all settings and reinstalled everything again. But Mini-Bridge is and remains missing.
    Any suggestions?

    Then it's CC :-)
    Here's a screenshot of the Window Menu. It's not there :/

  • Lightroom CC isn't including color labels when images are imported

    I've tried this several times, but it doesn't work. Lightroom CC will import metadata and even star ratings, but it won't import the color label data assigned to the images from within Bridge. How can I get that information to be imported?
    In other words, working in Bridge CC I assigned star ratings and color labels to a folder full of JPG files. When I import those files into Lightroom CC, the images, metadata and the star ratings are imported, but no color label data was imported. None of the images have color labels when viewed in LR. They still retain the color labels when I view the files in Bridge CC, but they don't appear in LR.

    I just struggled with this for an hour. Any changes made to labels inside Lightroom 5 didn't show up in Bridge CC after reading metadata from file, and imports into LR5 did not properly show Bridge CC's label colors. Instead, only a tiny white rectangle at the bottom right of each labeled thumbnail showed in LR5.
    Finally figured it out. In the Lightroom 5 file menu up top, go to:
    Metadata --> Color Label Set --> Bridge Default (select this option)
    'Lightroom Default' was previously selected in mine, as I suspect all Lightroom 5 installs are initially.
    Make sure that the names beside each color are identical in both Bridge & LR, or you will still have syncing problems.
    This should fix your problem!

  • Grid View: Flags, Rating, Color Label read only? / Mark Images Read only?

    Hi
    I'd like to see the flag-status, rating and color label assigned to an image as cell icons. But if I show them as Cell Icons, I am also able to change them, which happens to me quite often accidentally when I click into the frame of a image to change selections.
    Is it possible to show these markers for each image without being able to change them in the frame? I would be quite happy being able to change them from the tool bar, but still being able to see them on the single image.
    Related to this:
    Is it somehow possible to mark images as read only, so that further changes (development, metadata etc.) can be made impossible? This would be nice for older images, which have been processed completely and should stay that way, inhibiting accidental changes to images. Sometimes it is difficult to even notice when one accidentally changes metadata on an image.
    Thanks for your thoughts

    Yes it's a bug. I see it on Mac platform.

  • How do I toggle Mini Bridge in my Photoshop?

  • Bridge & Mini Bridge

    I am running Windows 7 home premium and I noticed when I launch Bridge from the file menu and then close out of Bridge it knocks Mini Bridge off line and it needs to reconnect.  This happens if I click the "X" or if I go through the file menu to exit Bridge.  What is up with that?  Currently I have Mini Bridge launching from its last folder location with the start up of CS6.  Why should Mini Bridge close and need reconnecting if i am closing Bridge?

    So we the users are going to play the reconnection game.  I have mini bridge open to my working folder when I close CS6.  When I relaunch CS6 it automatically opens mini bridge and loads its last folder location, which would be my working folder.  That is great because it saves me time to have it automatically open this location for me.  Because it automatically launches mini bridge "bridge" is launched and the "BR" icon shows up in my task bar area.  So far so good.  Now I need to find a new image to work on.  Mini bridge is not the ideal way to search, so I open "Big Bridge"  and with its much improved speed I happily find my next project.  I load it to CS6 and begin work with the intention of saving this to my working file that is displayed in mini bridge.  I'm now done with "Big Bridge", so I close it and now I have to "reconnect" mini bridge.  Not a big deal I just hit the button right?  I get to hit the reconnect button every single time I close "Big Bridge" because it affects both.  So, what is the point of having the ability to view two different file locations if I truly can not use them independently of each other, because if I close "Big Bridge" I have to go back and reconnect mini bridge every time.  That would be kind of like having an Ipod that I'm playing music on and I leave the music area to use my kindle app but the music stops playing because I left that area to go read.  Am I the only only who opens multiple folders when searching or working with images?  Even though much faster could bridge once again be the ho hum feature of CS6 because it is not user friendly?
