Creating and locating metadata
Metadata is information that can be stored with images. This information travels with the file and makes
it easy to search for and identify the file. In this section, you are going to find out how to locate and cre-
ate metadata.
1 Make sure that you are viewing the contents of the advps02lessons folder in the center pane of Adobe
Bridge. If not, navigate to that folder now.
2 Choose Window > Workspace > Reset Standard Workspaces. This ensures that you are in the Essen-
tials view and that all the default panels for Adobe Bridge are visible. Alternatively, you can click Es-
sentials in the Application bar at the top-right of the Bridge workspace. You might need to maximize
your Bridge window after you reset the workspace.
Note that if you click the arrow to the right of the workspace presets, you can choose other work-
spaces, and even save your own custom workspace.

Resetting the workspace using the Workspace drop-down menu.
3 Click once on IMG_4012.jpg , and look for the Metadata and Keywords panels in the lower-right area
of the Adobe Bridge workspace.
4 If the Metadata panel is not visible, click the Metadata panel tab. In this panel, you see the image data
that is stored with the file. Take a few moments to scroll through the data and view the information
that was imported from the digital camera that was used to take the photo.

Click and drag the bar to the left of the Metadata panel farther to the left if you need to open up
the window.
