Hi,

I am looking for a way to add metadata to a large number of files. Each photo will have different keywords etc.

Is there a way to match an Excel sheet with the photos and add the metadata to the respective photos automatically rather than copy it manually for 10.000 photos?

Thank you!

There are a few methods to do this:

Use a D.A.M. (digital asset management program)

Some methods for importing are listed at the foot of my blogpost here (as mentioned by SuperMerlin):

You can also fast-track your task by searching in the Bridge & Bridge Scripting forums...

I have a script that does it. Something I had kicking around, just had to finish it up. Free to download. This incarnation of an earlier script is a new release so please holler if something doesn't work right. And always make a backup of your files first, please!
