Purpose

The purpose of the Visual Resources Association’s (VRA) Custom File Info panel is to use Adobe’s open-source labeling technology, Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP)iv, to allow users to embed descriptive metadata directly into an image file. Embedding metadata into the image file 1) allows the descriptive information to travel with the file across file formats and software applications, 2) aids search and retrieval, and 3) improves metadata capture to expedite workflow. These benefits enable users to share descriptive metadata. Creative works shown in an image are described with the VRA Essential (vrae) schema, an essential subset of VRA Core 4.0v that is practical in Adobe File Info Panels. VRA Essential is a flat implementation of the VRA Core 4.0 standard. With some exceptions, data entered into the fields is not controlled. Users should take into consideration the destination of their embedded images and make every effort to produce useful, compatible metadata. It is highly recommended that users follow a “best practice” that is appropriate to their discipline, organization, vocation, etc. For example, visual resources professionals may wish to use the guidelines for Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO)vi. Librarians may wish to use Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)vii. Faculty and researchers may wish to capture data on site and enter it directly from the field. Data entry guidelines are strongly recommended to minimize errors. Objectives:

• Use Adobe XMP labeling technology to embed descriptive data • Allow curators and collection managers to more efficiently collect metadata from faculty

and student contributors and ingest it into a central database. • Allow database assistants to enter pre-cataloging information, i.e., source captions,

original resource documentation, or backlog tracking information. • Empower contributors to keep embedded metadata in their image files for the purpose of

managing them with common desktop photo applications and sharing with colleagues and students.

• Create data that is compatible with both the VRA Core 4 and International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC)viii data standards so that it is interoperable with most photo software applications and can be easily ingested into a visual resources database.

File formats supported

Compatibility with other Adobe CS info Panels

Based on the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP), Adobe CS File Info panels can share the same metadata properties. The various panels show the same data, but present it in variety of combinations to suit different users. For example, when data is entered into a VRA panel, it can appear in another one (see: The Description field in the IPTC panel). Essentially one data source has a multitude of views. The VRA panel uses various data schemas to create a custom view that describes cultural heritage works. The approach to building the VRA panel was to use as many well-known namespaces as possible to provide interoperability with a wide range of photo software. The first schema used was IPTC core, then any other namespace built into XMP (as specified in the XMP specs, parts 1 & 2). Remaining properties were assigned to VRA Essential (vrae). Most vrae fields are combined to create Keywords and a photo Caption, the most widely supported fields in photo applications, web sites and operating systems. This ensures that the most essential data about an artwork can be read when the user does not have access to the VRA or IPTC Adobe CS panels.

File Info Panels

Overview

There are 3 separate VRA Info Panels. • Work: describes the creative artwork, object or performance shown in the image/photo. • Image: describes the photo as a visual surrogate of the Artwork/Object.

o Administration: information used for project oversight and tracking. o Summary: data that will show in most photo applications

• Help: contains controlled text you can copy-and-paste into the Work and Image info panels and links to controlled vocabularies.

8

Selecting the Image(s) to be Described

Once the VRA File Info panel files have been installed (see the Installation Guide), open Photoshop or Bridge and select the images you want to edit. Photoshop – File Info panel edits the active image only. (An image file must be open in order use the VRA File Info panel.) Bridge – File Info panel edits all images you have selected in your workspace. (An image file must be open in order use the VRA File Info panel.) Note: To select multiple images sequentially, hold down the Shift key and click on the image at the beginning of the sequence using the mouse and then click on the last image in the sequence. To select multiple images randomly use the “Control/Command” key and mouse to click on the desired files.

Opening the File info panels

Once the image(s) have been selected have been selected, go to File and select File Info... A window appear showing all of the customized panels in Photoshop. Photoshop: select File menu → File info

9

Bridge: select Edit menu → File info

Bridge alternate method: right click → File info

10

Typically you will first see the default Description Info Panel. You can select the VRA panels from the list on the left.

Adobe Bridge

The VRA File Info panel can also be used in Adobe Bridge. One benefit of using the panel in Bridge is that it allows you to apply the same data to multiple images at once and manage templates. Once the VRA files are installed, there are two ways to access the VRA metadata: 1. Open the VRA File Info Panel in Photoshop from Bridge (page 10) 2. Use the Bridge Metadata Panel (below) Note: If the Metadata panel is not already open in Bridge, choose Window > Metadata Panel.

14

Bridge Metadata Panel

The VRA metadata panel can be used directly from the Bridge workspace. This panel shows the four sections of the VRA info panel as, VRA Work, VRA Image, VRA Admin and VRA Summary. Note that these show all the fields in the VRA File Info Panel but have limited functionality:

o Only direct text entry is possible, there are no drop-down lists. o Some fields are not editable:

o Image: Original Date Creator(s) Copyright Status (See below) Copyright URL (See below) Usage Terms Copyright Notice

o Administration:

Collection(s) Job Identifier Cataloger

o Summary:

DC Title Keywords Description/Caption

Note: You can increase the size of Bridge’s Metadata Panel by dragging the borders of the panel up, down and/or sideways. To save your customized workspace go to Window in the menu, select Workspace and then New Workspace… Name your workspace and save it.

Metadata panel preferences Fields are made visible in the panel by selecting them in Bridge’s Metadata Preferences. Check to see that all fields are visible by doing one of the following: 1) Locate the Preference icon to the right of the Metadata panel, click and select Preferences…, or

15

2) Find Preferences by clicking on Edit → Preferences (PC) or Adobe Bridge CS…→ Preferences (Mac)

16

Select the metadata fields that you want to display Uncheck “Hide Empty Fields” → OK

17

Using the VRA Bridge Metadata Panel You can add or edit metadata directly into the Bridge Metadata panel.

1. Open Bridge and navigate to the image(s) file(s) that you wish to work with using the “Folders” tab located on the either side of the “Content” tab in the workspace.

2. Once the images can be viewed in the “Content” tab, select the files that you want to write data to by clicking on them.

Note: To select multiple images sequentially, hold down the Shift key and click on the image at the beginning of the sequence using the mouse and then click on the last image in the sequence. To select multiple images randomly use the “Control/Command” key and mouse to click on the desired files. Add or Edit metadata

1. Click the Pencil icon to the far right of the metadata field you want to edit. 2. Type in the box to edit or add metadata. 3. Press Tab to move through metadata fields. 4. When you have finished editing the metadata, click the Apply button at the bottom of

the Metadata panel. To cancel any changes you’ve made, click the Cancel button at the bottom of the panel.

Using templates

A template can be created in order to apply the same information in several fields to several images all at once. For example: a large set of images which all have the same title, date and location information, or applying the same copyright, contact and image creation location information to all of your images. File info panel

If you need to edit a template you can create a new image, apply the template, edit the data, then save the template again replacing the old version with the new one. You can create as many templates as you want.

File info panel - Apply a template Open the VRA file info panel.

Do one of the following:

1. Click the triangle icon at the top of the File Info dialog box, and choose a template name from the top section of the menu. The metadata from the template will replace the current metadata. To append the current metadata instead, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) when you choose the template name.

Note: You must save a metadata template before you can import metadata from a template.

2. In the Advanced section of the File Info dialog box, click Replace to replace the current information with information stored in an XMP file. Locate the XMP file containing the metadata you want to import, and click Open.
