metadata into database

[Alex Miau]

Hi,

I’m very happy to use Adobe Bridge and I think that is a great tool, and I will thank you for that. I have thousands of images in my computer and for a great number of that I already have a lot of information in the metadata… I know how to demand information, I know how to search inside, but I need to know if I can import all this information in a different software …. Something like excel or access….

For example: I need to put in a database all images that are made for a client, and I need to see all the information for each image in the same table, also I need to print all this information…please teach me how to do that

Thank you

You can extract data from your files into a CSV file that will open in Excel or import to a database.

Using Bridge there are a couple of scripts.

The Barred Rock script that can be found in this thread.

If only a few fields are required then the "Extract Metadata" script in the Bridge section might work for you.

Exiftool should also be considered for the task.
