Note that Picasa see I modify the file by bridge, because he reload it. What are the difference between my files ? So why Picasa doesn't see keywords filled by Bridge ? If I look the 5 files with file info in bridge or photoshop, all 3 following fields are filled for each file : IPTC Core, IIM and dublin core. I can only view keywords put by pixvue, picasa and Photoshop in picasa but not keywords put by Bridge, even the keyword put by file info ! ![]() ![]() I have added keywords on 5 different jpeg files with Picassa, pixvue, Bridge CS3 by the keywords list, Bridge CS3 by the file info, and photoshop by file info. I have done many try, and I can't really understand what is not working.ĭavid, I'm not sure what you say is exact in regards of my experience below, just have a look : I want to do exactly the same than Phil try to do, but I still can't understand why it doesn't work. There are some other issues as well, but they tend to get even more arcane. Personally, I would avoid that, as adding metadata, especially keywords, in Picasa is quite cumbersome, and to top it off, Picasa can't deal with any multi word terms (it breaks them into single words). So, the moral of this story is, if you are only using Jpegs you can metadata (captions and keywords only) in Picasa, and have that picked up in Photoshop. They do so, I believe, because a "flag" is updated within the file that Photoshop looks for in order to identify which set of information is the "freshest." There are a few rare applications that can write captions and keywords to image in a way that Photoshop will see them, but these are rather rare. If you open that image in Photoshop (CS or later), then you will only see the metadata that was previously entered in Photoshop. However, if you modify the information (caption or keywords in Picasa, this information is written to the Jpeg, however it will only be visible in Picasa, or in other applications that are only aware of legacy IPTC metadata. If XMP style info is in the file, it doesn't look to see if there is any of the older legacy IPTC style info.įor example, If you add metadata to a jpeg first in Photoshop, you can view this information in Picasa. If there is none, then it will look to see if there is legacy IPTC. This is because Photoshop first looks to see if there is XMP information in the image file. If you then open that image in Photoshop, it will read this information. If you take a Jpeg from the camera that has no IPTC metadata and catalog it in Picasa, you can write a caption and add keywords. Thus Bridge did not put the metadata into the file using the legacy form of IPTC, and many other programs outside of those that used XMP could not read the metadata. There may also be an issue with some earlier versions of Bridge as they only wrote XMP. If you want to learn more about these various flavors of IPTC visit for details. When you save an image in Photoshop into which you wrote info in the File Info panel (ie Embedded Metadata) then this information is written in both legacy IPTC and IPTC Core. Photoshop CS and more recent (CS2/CS3,Lightroom, etc.), use the next generation IPTC called IPTC Core which is built on the XMP format. Picasa only recognizes the legacy form of IPTC metadata called IIM (Information Interchange Module), period. The second issue has to do with the type of metadata and the order in which it's added (as well as the file type). In addition, when it comes to files that have been annotated outside of Picasa, it only seems to recognize keywords within Jpeg files. You can't write captions or keywords into TIF or RAW files (at least in a way where they travel with the file). The first issue is that Picasa appears only to allow you to write embedded keywords into Jpeg files. ![]()
