After you have added metadata to an image, you can easily apply it to more images by creating a metadata template. In this exercise, you apply the metadata template from the IMG_4088.JPG image to other images in the same folder:

1 Make sure that IMG_4088.JPG is selected in Adobe Bridge.

2 Choose Tools ⇒ Create Metadata Template.The Create Metadata Template window appears. If you scroll down you will see the keywords that you applied to this file. In the next few steps you will apply those same keywords to many other files. Adding keywords to events, or photoshoots can help make finding the files you need easier.

3 In the Template Name text field (at the top), type Game photos.In the Create Metadata Template window, you can choose the information that you want to build into a template. In this exercise, we choose information that already exists in the selected file, but if you wanted to, you could add or edit information at this point.

4 Select the checkboxes to the left of the following categories: Description, Description Writer, Keywords, and Date Created and then click Save, as shown in Figure 2-5.You have just saved a template. Next, you apply it to the other hockey images in this folder.FIGURE 2-5: Select a file and check the information you want to save into a metadata template.

5 Select the IMG_4087.JPG image, press and hold the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) key, and select the IMG_4083.JPG image.All the images are selected.

6 Choose Tools ⇒ Append Metadata and select Game Photos, as shown in Figure 2-6. Note that you can also choose Replace Metadata if you want to eliminate existing metadata.The same metadata has now been applied to all the images at once.
