Using star ratings in conjuction with labels means that you can, for instance, easily find your favourite images that you want to release on social media or, the producer’s favourite set of BTS photos, or photos of the director and cast for the first look release.To animate this text layer with the slow fade in from left to right, we're going to use Adobe Bridge. Perhaps you want to use 1* for photos containing number one on the call sheet, 2* for images of the director with cast, 3* for plate shots etc

That said, you can use the star rating system just like the labelling system in that you can make it entirely your own. These could be your own ratings of images, or, you could assign a star value to a particular stakeholder’s set of selects so you can easily differentiate between everyone’s favourites. We recommend using star ratings to identify various rounds of favourites or selects. We recommend not using labels to mark favourites or selects, as this is better done by the star rating system… Labels are great for identifying types of images such as unit, BTS or gallery their potential uses eg social media, first release, or print or for identifying images in which certain actors appear. To change the names of labels in Bridge, simply go to: To remove the label, just press the keyboard shortcut again. Simply select the images you would like to label, and use the keyboard shortcuts above to apply. There are 5 colour coded labels you can use with Bridge with keyboard shortcuts to apply them quickly to images: Well Adobe Bridge lets you do just that, and even have a 5 star rating system so you can prioritise images within their label groupings or collectively.

Star ratings and labels are a great way to easily identify individual images within a group.įor instance, you might have 1,000 photos and want to mark some as Behind the Scenes, some as Social Media, and other additional identifiers that you use to quickly filter and find the images you need.
