Part I: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop CS5 164 Bridge also allows you to add labels to files to help you organize them to use later. You can label files with the Select, Second, Review, Approved, and To Do labels. To add a rating or a label to a file, select Label from the main menu in Bridge and then select one of the options shown in Figure 6.10. FIGURE 6.10 Adding ratings and labels to files helps you organize, prioritize, and find files easier. Assigning keywords to files An extremely useful feature of file metadata is the ability to add keywords that identify or link the file with a person, event, place, or some other piece of data. Bridge makes good use of the keyword feature by allowing you to create new keywords and keyword groups and assigning them to files using the Keywords panel, shown in Figure 6.11. After the keywords have been assigned to files, you can use them to find the files much easier later. Adding an existing keyword to a file To add an existing keyword to one or more files in Bridge, open the Keyword panel. Then select the file(s) in the Content panel. Then select the keyword you want to add to the file(s); the key- word is written to the metadata of the file. Adding a new keyword The Keywords tab displays only the basic keywords and keywords that exist in the selected files. If you want to add a new keyword to a file that doesn’t exist already, click the New Keyword button in the Keywords panel or right-click in the Keywords panel and select New Keyword from the pop-up menu. A new keyword is added to the list, and you can type the name in the provided text box. 10_584743-ch06.indd 16410_584743-ch06.indd 164 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Chapter 6: Using Bridge to Organize and Process Photos 165 FIGURE 6.11 Adding and managing keywords associated with files helps you organize and find files more easily. Keyword search Delete keyword New subkeyword New keyword Adding a new sub-keyword As you add more and more keywords, you realize that you need to organize them into subgroups. Bridge allows you at add sub-keywords to an existing keyword already in the list. If you want to add a new keyword to a file that doesn’t exist already, click the New Keyword button in the Keywords panel or right-click in the Keywords panel and select New Sub Keyword from the pop- up menu. A new keyword is added as a sublevel to the selected keyword, and you can type the name of the new keyword in the provided text box. Note When you select add a keyword to a file, any sub-keywords under it are not added to the file. You need to add each sub-keyword for them all to apply. n Finding a keyword in the list Sometimes even having keywords divided into subgroups doesn’t make it easy enough to find the keywords. You can use the search field in the Keywords panel to search for keywords. As you type into the search box, the keywords matching the search are displayed in the list. The search is not case sensitive and searches for text anywhere in the keyword name. 10_584743-ch06.indd 16510_584743-ch06.indd 165 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Part I: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop CS5 166 Deleting and renaming keywords Bridge allows you to quickly rename and delete keywords to keep your list organized. To rename a keyword, right-click it in the list and select Rename from the pop-up menu. Then type the new name of the keyword. Bridge modifies the metadata in all the files containing that keyword to update the keyword name. To delete a keyword, right-click it in the list and select Delete from the pop-up menu. The key- word is deleted from the list. Renaming files As discussed earlier, you can rename files as you import them from a camera or a memory card. Bridge also provides the Batch Rename utility to rename files that already exist on the filesystem. To rename files in Bridge, select them in the Content panel and then open the Batch Rename util- ity, shown in Figure 6.12, by selecting Tools ➪ Batch Rename from the main menu in Bridge. FIGURE 6.12 Configuring custom filename options when renaming files in Bridge 10_584743-ch06.indd 16610_584743-ch06.indd 166 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Chapter 6: Using Bridge to Organize and Process Photos 167 These options are available when renaming files using the Batch Rename utility: l Preset: This allows you to select a default rename configuration or a configuration based on string substitution or to use one of your previous renaming configurations. l Destination Folder: This allows you to specify whether you want Bridge to place the renamed files in the same folder, move them to another folder, or make a copy in another folder while keeping the original. l New Filenames: This area allows you to specify custom filenames based on up to ten dif- ferent components including text, new extension, current filename, preserved filename, sequence number, sequence letter, date, time, metadata, and string substitution. l Options: This lets you specify whether to preserve the current file in the XMP metadata of the file. You also can specify whether to enforce the new filename to be compatible with filename requirements on Windows, Mac, or Unix. l Preview: Displays a preview of how the renamed filenames will appear. Finding files One of Bridge’s biggest strengths is in quickly finding files you are looking for. Bridge provides several tools to help you quickly find files. The following sections discuss using the Filter panel, the Find tool, and the Review Mode to find files using Bridge. Using the Filter panel As discussed earlier, you can add keywords, labels, and ratings to files, and Bridge helps you quickly find files based on those and other values. To use metadata information to find files in Bridge, open the Filter panel, shown in Figure 6.13. The Filter panel keeps a list of categories of metadata that can be used to filter the list of files displayed in the Content pane. These categories can be expanded and collapsed using the triangle button next to the Category title. To filter on a specific item, expand the Category and select the item. A check mark appears next to the item selected, as shown in Figure 6.13. You can select as many items as you like. Bridge dis- plays only the items that match the criteria of the selected metadata items. Tip If you need to browse several folders when searching for files, you can click the Pin button on the bottom left of the Filter panel to keep the filter in effect when browsing through folders and collections. n Using the Find tool Another extremely effective method of finding files in Bridge is using the Find tool by selecting Edit ➪ Find from the main menu in Bridge. The Find tool, shown in Figure 6.14, allows you to quickly specify a source location and search criteria to find files. The resulting files that match the specified criteria are then placed in the Content pane. The Look in field of the Find tool allows you to specify a folder or collection to search from. You also can launch the Find tool by selecting a collection or folder in the Collections, Favorites, Folders, or Content panels and typing Ctrl/Ô+F. 10_584743-ch06.indd 16710_584743-ch06.indd 167 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Part I: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop CS5 168 FIGURE 6.13 Filtering the list of files in the Filter panel using metadata contained in the files You can specify the search criteria on a specific metadata item or on all metadata by selecting the option from the drop-down list. Then specify the criteria matching option and a value. To add more criteria, click the plus button. To remove criteria, click the minus button next to the criteria. You also can specify to add the file if any of the criteria are met or only if all the criteria are met. You also can tell the search to include the subfolders of the selected location and non-indexed files. Tip When you are creating collections, a good place to start is using the Find tool to get a list of the files that you want to place in the collection. Then select all the files in the Content panel and add them to the collection. n Using the review mode After you have a list of files in the Content panel, one additional feature in Bridge can help you find the files you want. Typically, you view the files as thumbnails and look for specific files. Bridge also provides the Review Mode utility, shown in Figure 6.15, to quickly view and locate images. 10_584743-ch06.indd 16810_584743-ch06.indd 168 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Chapter 6: Using Bridge to Organize and Process Photos 169 FIGURE 6.14 Using the Find tool, you can specify a set of criteria to match in the metadata of files while searching the filesystem. FIGURE 6.15 Using the Review Mode utility lets you scroll through a list of images in the Preview panel. 10_584743-ch06.indd 16910_584743-ch06.indd 169 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Part I: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop CS5 170 The Review Mode utility, available by selecting View ➪ Review Mode from the main menu, displays the images in a rotating carousel view of the images in the Preview panel. Selecting an image with the mouse brings that image to the front of the view. You also can click the left and right arrows to rotate the image to the left or to the right. Clicking the down arrow or dragging an image off the screen removes the front image from the list. Using collections A collection is a set of files that are grouped together in Bridge. The collection concept does not exist outside of Bridge, which offers some advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can create and delete collections in Bridge without affecting the actual files on disk. You also can add files to collections regardless of where they exist in the filesystem. The disadvantage is that although you can view collections of files quickly in Bridge, you cannot view them in other appli- cations (except Photoshop using the mini-Bridge panel). Using Bridge collections is useful for keeping track of files that belong together. The following sec- tions describe creating collections of files in Bridge using the Collections panel, shown in Figure 6.16. FIGURE 6.16 Using the Collections panel to create collections of files in Bridge Creating collections You create a new collection in Bridge by clicking the New Collection button in the Collections panel. A new collection appears, and you can type the name of the collection. You can rename the collection at any time by right-clicking it and selecting Rename from the pop-up menu. To delete a collection, right-click it and select Delete from the pop-up menu. 10_584743-ch06.indd 17010_584743-ch06.indd 170 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM . 16910_584743-ch06.indd 169 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Part I: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop CS5 170 The Review Mode utility, available by selecting View ➪ Review Mode from the main menu,. name. 10_584743-ch06.indd 16510_584743-ch06.indd 165 5/3/10 10:21 AM5/3/10 10:21 AM Part I: Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop CS5 166 Deleting and renaming keywords Bridge allows you to quickly rename.
