I have been using Zoom Browser from Canon which is no longer supported.  I have about 20,000 imagesd with file data added by me about the image.  Zoom Browser is starting to act up and I wish to replace it with a program which will read the data I already have and enter similar data for additional images, does Adobe have a program which will do this?  I will supply a sample photo if needed,

Correct answer Rob_Cullen

My suggestion for an Adobe product would be- Lightroom-Classic.

Lr-Classic is a database type app that references all your photos and their metadata in a catalog as well as providing extensiv editing capability..

You can get a 7-day trial.  It is only available as an Annual subscription to the Lightroom or Photography Plans.

And, yes, Adobe Bridge would be similar in use to Canon Zoom Browser.

Hey @lee_5060

Adobe Lightroom can read metadata and offers non-destructive editing, making it a great option for photo organization and enhancement. If you're primarily looking for digital asset management without editing tools, you might also want to check out Adobe Bridge. Let me know if this helps. 🙂

I have a Lightroom and it will not read the data entered by the Zoom
Browser software, yes it does read things like camera used, date, etc,
but not the description I have entered via Zoom Browser, at least I
can't read it
