Maximize Labels in Bridge
with Rank and File

Rank and File can write the Adobe Bridge Labels into either the IPTC keywords, Headline, Description or Title field of an image file, so that other programs can see and use this valuable information.

Unlike the Rating Stars, the Label fields in Bridge can have user-assignable values. You can therefore use the Labels for any number of different functions. Some people will choose to to use them for additional quality ratings (Outtakes or Trash Me, for instance.) Others may use them as a status designation (Unrated, Unprocessed, Ready for Conversion, etc.) Still others may use them for content designations (Personal images, Editorial Images, Pictures of Maddy).

Because Labels give you a quick visual indication of which images have been grouped together, they will have lots of uses. Rank and File helps to extend the usefulness of the Label function. Rank and File will let you take those temporary groupings you make with Labels, and make that work much more permanent. By writing the assigned term back to the durable and accessible IPTC metadata, you greatly enhance your organizational work.
