Labels

In ‘The Bridge’, we also have “labels”.

We often use this option when several people work on an image, for example, when you are working on an image you can give a label so you can immediately see which pictures are ready, and which are not.

To create a label to one or more photo (s), select the photo (s), click “Label” in the menu bar and choose one of the options under the “label” in the drop- down menu.

When a label is assigned to a picture, this puts a color under the thumbnail.

 

 

You can change the names of the different labels in the “Preferences” dialog under the “Tags” tab.

Attention! When you change the name of a label and this label was already assigned to a photo, the color of the label under the thumbnail will become white.

To solve this problem you need to assign this “new” label to this picture.

Filter

Now that our images are provided with keywords, tags and ratings, we can start filtering.

The most comprehensive way to filter is through the use of the “Filter” pane.

Here you can actually filter out by everything, tags, ratings, keywords, when they are created, when it has changed, absolutely everything.

The only advice I can give you is to give as many keywords as possible on a photograph. This way, it is a lot easier and quicker to find a photo on a particular subject.

To filter, click the keyword or keywords, tags, and ratings of the “Filter” panel.

Another way is, to filter through the “Filter items on ratings” button.

Obviously, this filtering is a lot smaller since you can only filter on rating.
