    Metadata, keywords and collections

    eVatrik Community Member

      This may be a dumb question but I would like to be sure.

      Is everything that I type in the metadata trough bridge and all the keywords that I assign to a file staying with that file/photo/video/photoshop etc.

      So if I give that file to someone else, he opens it in bridge, he can also find it using that keyword...

       

      Can these keywords and metadata be used by other management software?

       

      Is it possible to share collections over LAN or internet? If we have a a lot of organized assets in one computer, everyone is using that and if one user make a collection on his computer, others can see that collection in their bridge.

       

      Thanks for help

          Boy a lot of questions!

          Keyword file is in user/app data/roaming/adobe/keywords

          Keywords, and some metatdata, but not all, are imbedded on the file.  So other software,such as Windows Explorer, can read them, even if you send the photo to someone else.

          Collections are like a spreadsheet with the addresses of the photos on your computer.  So they can not be shared by sending a collection to another.  When you get into a networked situation you have lost me as I don't use them.  If the other person can access the others' computer and look through thier files I guess they could.


          Hope this helps.
