Adobe Bridge Editing - Part 2

Once you are finished cutting the bad photos and rating the rest (see part one from yesterday) in Adobe Bridge, do the following:

1. Sort the photos by rating [view > sort > by rating]
2. Choose the BEST photo out the highly rated ones. Post this to your blog.
3. Write a caption in the metadata of the best photo.
A. In bridge, select the best photo.
B. Go to View, and make sure the "metadata panel" option is checked.
C. In the metadata panel, click on the pencil to the right of the "description" field
D. Type a one sentence caption (5ws and the H). You may make up the information. Click off the photo.
E. In your InDesign document, make a new blank page. File > Place the best photo.
F. Select the photo, and click on the "info" pallet (Select Window > Inf0 if the tab isn't active)
G. Click on the little arrow in the info pallet, and select "file info"
H. Copy the caption and paste it below your photo using the text tool.
