Labels

We also have “labels” in the Bridge.We often use this option when several people work on an image or 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 grant a label to one or more photo (s), select the photo (s), click “Label” in the menu bar and choose from one of the options in the “label” drop- down menu.

 

 

 

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


You can change the names of the different labels in the “Preferences” dialog under the “Labels” 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, labels and ratings, we can start filtering.

The most comprehensive way to filtering is through the use of the “Filter” panel.

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

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

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

Another way to filter is through the “Filter items by Rating”.

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

Awesome!
