Will keywords applied in bridge be visible automatically in lightroom 5?

If I create and apply keywords in Bridge, will they automatically be visible in Lightroom 5? I am using Creative Cloud.

Thanks for getting back. The only reason I tried to do it via Bridge is
that I was having a problem getting a keyword applied to a bunch of
selected photos. I then discovered that I had to "sync" once I selected the
group, and that actually did the job. I presume that is the correct way of
applying the same keyword to a selected bunch of photos, unless you know a
quicker way.
Thanks.

Keywords applied from Bridge

I have many Parent/Child keywords set up in Bridge and applied to DNGs. When I import the DNGs into LR The first folder imported creates the correct Parent/Child setup in LR for as many of those at are include in that folder. Any subsequent import makes all keywords from imported images appear as Parents not respecting their place as Children (obnoxious kids?). I tried exporting the keywords from Bridge and importing them into LR but all imported images/keywords still show as Parents ignoring the keyword tags. Is there any way for LR to respect the Parent/Child setup I made in Bridge?
John

Thanks. I searched but never found that message. I looked at my files in Bridge and I do not have that extra line of code. I also did another test where I started from scratch using the keywords imported into LR from Bridge. The first import put the keywords in the right Child place. The 2nd import started putting all Children as Parents using the same keyword as the Child already there.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Bridge to Photoshop Automate lost

I just got a new iMac with OS 10.5.7. Photoshop and Bridge were working beautifully for the first couple of days. This morning I cannot access Photoshop through the Bridge Tools menu to use Image Processor and other items. I have some Russell Brown scripts in this menu, but when I try to use them I get the message, "Reference error: Photoshop is undefined." What does this mean? How can I fix it?
I have re-created my Preferences to no avail. I have reinstalled and updated Photoshop to no avail.
I am desperate with a deadline crashing in on me.
Thank you.

Do you mean refresh when you say recreated?
To be sure, restart Bridge holding down option key and choose refresh
preferences. After this reset the prefs to your wishes and doublecheck if
the Photoshop Start up script in bridge Pref's is selected.
Also see if the batch and Russel Brown script will work in Photoshop itself
using the automate menu.
If still no luck try to refresh the preferences for PS itself by restarting
PS with holding down shift + Option(alt) + Cmd key together and choose to
delete the current preferences. (also reset them to your wishes (some
settings need a restart for PS to be affected.
If still no luck quit both apps and delete the plist files for both Bridge
and PS from your preferences folder in the user library and try again.
I have re-created my Preferences to no avail. I have reinstalled and updated
Photoshop to no avail.

Delete Keywords in Bridge? Re-import into Lightroom?

When I started trying Lightroom three weeks ago, I imported a few folders to learn with and created a keyword hierarchy.
Then when I imported all my photos, the keywords assigned in Bridge came along for the ride, giving me something to do with my time straighten it back to the structure I had created.
I use Bridge for renaming. Renaming my photos with the date first is a priority right now to help straighten out a mess of scanned photos not organized by date. It's been a slow process but necessary and I find it much easier to do in Bridge.
So now I know renaming files outside of Lightroom creates a problem. What will happen if I get rid of my Lightroom catalog; delete all keywords in Bridge (not a problem since I'm right now working in folders for renaming and can easily delete all keywords in the folder); then import all the renamed files into a new catalog in Lightroom.
Will the files keep the keywords written to them before in Lightroom even though I deleted keywords in Bridge? Or will I be deleting all keywords and have to start assigning them all over?
Hope this makes sense, I'm afraid to do anything right now!
Peggy

Peggy,
I think that if you are creating a new Ligtroom catalog, and importing your photos, that they will reflect what you have done in Bridge.
But, to confirm that, I would suggest that you do a small test first:
Start Lightroom, create a new catalog, import say 5 photos and see what Lighroom shows as keywords. Select a photo in Lightroom, change its keywords, save the changes and see if Bridge shows the change. Do the same then in Bridge, and Lightroom should show an icon at the top right of the frame in Grid view. Right-Click on it and "read metadata from file". The keywords should show the Bridge changes.
I think you will see that Keywords operate fairly well between both programs. (If I had the time now I would have experimented for you, but I thought that suggesting something would be faster and work better).
I think that when you have finished all your keywording in Bridge, you can safely create Lighroom catalog and import all you photos, and the new Bridge keywords will be there. (None of the old Lightroom catalog keywords should show up).
p.s I am not atall sure of the syntax in Bridge for entering Parent-Child keywords, but Lightroom's syntax is Child>Parent. I had to think about the Lightroom syntax, because I always think the > is the "greater than" symbol in maths etc, but now I look at as a branching from Parent to Child. Amazing how the little things become " gotchas".

Bridge Does Not Automatically Bring Up Photoshop When the Photo is Double-Clicked

I have just purchased CS4 with Bridge for my new MacIntosh. In Bridge for the PC, when I double click a photo it automatically brings up Photoshop. On the Mac version, it gives me an error message saying that part of the application is not loaded. I completely uninstalled the program, and reloaded the application and still get the same message. So in Bridge on the Mac, to get around this, I right click the picture and go to "Open With" and there are two entries: "Open with CS4 (default)" and "Open with CS4." This works if I pick either option. My Windows version only has "Open with CS4 (default)" as the option.
I called Adobe support (in India?) with no solution.
I really like the double click option rather that using the pop-out menu choice. What is wrong with the Mac install, and how can I fix this issue?

Thank you for your help. I updated the software and it "healed" itself.

This might mean that you have either 2 installs of CS4 (one on an other
disk?) or you did not use the the default application folder on root level
but have it installed in the user account application folder. Could you
check this?
and go to "Open With" and there are two entries:

As when installing an app on a computer, there must be a version for the app that is compatible with the computer and the OS running the computer.
Is there an Adobe Bridge app for the iPad available via the iTunes app store?

How to create a custom control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?

Hi all
I would like to create a customized button as a master so that if I change the look of the master all other buttons will change too.
I have done this with a custom control as a "strict type def" otherwise the look will not change BUT If I do this as a strict type def I cannot change the Boolean text anymore which should be different on every button.
How can I create a master control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?

Solved!

Steve Chandler wrote:
I don't think you can do that. I just looked and as I suspected the Boolean text property is read only for strict typedefs so you cannot use property nodes to change the text.
As a workaround just make it a typedef. When you want to change the look open the typedef and make it strict, make your changes, then make it non strict again. You will have to update the Boolean text again for all instances. Kind of a pain. Maybe this is something for the idea exchange.
Kudos for being sneaky.
I like these creative work-arounds!

Will I be able to disable the automatic icloud sync between devices?

What I want to know from looking at the keynote speech it looks like if I buy a song on my phone or ipad it will also get downloaded to my son's iphone even though he may not want the sond and vice versa. I hope there will be a way to disable the automatic sync between devices because in theory it sounds good but when you have several ios devices in the family they usually don't want to have the same music that I listen too. I have a MBA, Iphon4, and Ipad and would not mind all of them syncing together but my son's iphon 3GS does not need to be synced with the other devices. I didn't hear anything about being able to disable it and if someone knows can they let the rest of us know. Thanks.

Yes you can disable it. Also since it's free for all of those services, and you want different content on your devices, you could just setup an Apple ID for your son so that their content will be synced among their devices and you can still benefit from all the iCloud goodness. The only downfall to this is that the content that you may want to share would have to be purchased twice. I'm hoping they add support for "Family Groups" for iCloud services so you can have a shared Apple ID for content on up to 10 devices while also giving the flexibility for having sub-ID's to differentiate who's devices are who's.
That is exactly what I am talking about. I know you can share your purchases through several devices and some of the app store stuff my son and I share with no problem. I just hope that sharing is ok. Also using picture flow could be bad too. What if I want to take a picture that I don't want on any other device. This is all good but sounds like they didn't think this through all the way before implementing it. I am a mobileme subscriber and have been for 2 years and I liked iDisk. There was nothing wrong with the way it worked as I could set up iDisk only on my devices and my son's would not be affected. Like I said good idea but for some of us we may not want stuff out on the cloud automatically.
Also I can see some folks up in arms about privacy issues just like they did with the tracking issue. I am thinking I will turn this service off on all my devices until I get more information about it after it is implemented.

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.
