Adobe Bridge puts "Rating 0" to TIFF converted from ARW

When I convert ARW file to 16-bit srgb TIFF then Adobe Bridge 2023 (13.0.0.562) automatically adds "Rating 0" to the metadata of the file.

That's because the rating is zero. This is optional like most of the other metadata you might see.

In the metadata for any image, there are places from 1 - 5 for star ratings. There is no "zero" option. Also, any rating that is not 1 - 5 is nothing, and nothing is zero. 

 

Because of this, I am very confused as to what the issue is. Can you please share a screenshot of what your seeing?

When I view the image with Exiftool I see "Rating 0". It shows that only for TIFF's created by Adobe Bridge.

It is curious, but I'm not certain I understand your concern. If you were looking for any images whose ratings are 1 - 5, these would not show up. They should show up if you were looking for any images whose ratings were not 1 - 5.

 

Exactly what is your concern, if any? I agree that it's a curiosity, but I can't see a reason for any concern. What am I missing?


I don't want that my photos include pointless "junk metadata" because I want that my files are ready for long time digital preservation. I use command "exiftool -rating=" to remove that but sometimes I forget to do that.
