Adobe Bridge - Keywords

I had a previous employee who spent an insane amount of time in Adobe Bridge loading in keywords for an image database we have. Is there a way to retrieve these keywords? I don't want to start from scratch.

The keywords panel is empty except for the basic ones that come with the Bridge software download. I am using my own software, since the previous employee has departed te agency.

When you look at those files in Bridge, do they have keywords? If not, and you don't have a list saved, you'll have to start over.

Here you go.  Screen grab showing the Filter Panel with keywords for the images you see on the Content Panel, and a screen grab of the Keywords Panel where none of those keywords appear, but a stack of keywords from an imported list appear even though none of the images containing those keywords are included in the folder displayed.  There are thousands of sub-keywords under the Aviation folder, but split into Civilian and Military.


Just stop. You are wrong and don't understand how keywords are supported.

Can you export the keywords from the image database? Are your files still keyworded (so when you look at them in Bridge, it shows those keywords)?

As a starting point, when you say, "retrieve them", have they all been deleted from Bridge so that the Keywords Panel is empty?
