Now ignore or close any pop-ups or dialogs that show up from the operating system or other software - we'll be pulling in the images through Bridge to your computer. If you connect the camera through a USB cable, plug in the camera. If you use a card reader, plug in the card. Go ahead and do this however you normally would. Prior to importing, you'll need to connect your photos to your computer. OK, so when you're done, give your template a name and save it. You could create templates for different clients, cameras, locations, or whatever. I'd suggest that you create at least one generic template for yourself, and you might even want to create others. Most of the other fields will either vary photo to photo, or it just doesn't get used. I choose to fill in things like my name, location, email, phone, website, and copyright info. To create the template, simply fill in the parts that you'd like to be applied to EVERY photo you import under this template. The last 3 aren't of terrible use to photographers, so I'll focus on the IPTC fields. A dialog will pop up that contains empty fields for all of the IPTC, Audio, Video, and DICOM metadata. If you look under your “Tools” menu you'll see a “Create Metadata Template…” option. This little step will save you a ton of time and it will make your files far more rich with metadata.īasically, you can create a template filled with IPTC metadata that can be applied to your photos as they are imported to your computer with no extra effort. If you don't have any idea what a metadata template is, or if you haven't set one up, do it now - immediately. Wait a second… aren't we supposed to be pulling in those files? Not yet padre. NEXT - ADOBE BRIDGE FILE PREPARATION CREATING A METADATA TEMPLATE Not only that, Bridge has the capability to automatically alter the files as they arrive, thus increasing your productivity. What I'm going to show you is how Bridge can make quick work of importing photos. I realize that there are probably several dozens of methods for importing photos, and we all have our preferences for one reason or another. Like I said before, I'll be stepping through my workflow from the beginning - so we'll start with importing our photos from the camera to the computer. Now that we have that under our belts, we can begin our journey into actually using the software. Various layouts, panel functionalities, and a few of the basic controls. In the last post of this series we talked about the workspace of Adobe Bridge.
