Peakto Annotation and Adobe Bridge metadata synchronization
Peakto Annotations and metadata
Peakto is using EXIF, IPTC and XMP metadata standards.
Theses standards defines how we can store metadata inside a JPEG or a rendered file (TIFF, PNG) and also how to store metadata to a sidecar XMP file.
Configuring the synchronisation
In Adobe Bridge, you can configure Bridge to write Metadata to files.
Be sure to configure your keywords synchronisation like this.
You should also define your Color Label to be "Lightroom compliant".
In Peakto, you can find the option in the user settings dialog, in the "sync" tab. In this tab you can manage the settings for software compatible with XMP standard. For Adobe Brigde, use File System settings
For Brigde, you should set the to XMP roundTrip to "Automatic" and we recommend to write the metadata in the files for non raw files.
Usage
In Peakto
If your catalog is online, Peakto will write the annotation you made in the XMP and or directly in the files as soon as you enter an annotation.
If your catalog is offline, no worry, Peakto will store all your annotation and when you plug your external drive with your files back, Peakto will ask you to sync with Lightroom.
In Bridge
It's automatic, when you change it in peakto, it will be applied in Bridge.
What if I change a metadata in both software ?
Don't worry, Peakto keep the value from Bridge. When you edit a metadata in Bridge that is also set in Peakto, Peakto is displaying its own value, and a "blue pencil" to show you that an update is done.
You can click on this blue pencil to show Lightroom value.
For Keywords, it's the same.
If you made some changes in bridge, we recommend to make a deepSync on your source, to be sure that everything modified in bridge is synchronised with Lightroom.
Force Synchronisation and multiple image sync
You can force Peakto to write all the XMP files using a CTRL+CLIC on the source catalog or on a selection of images.
You can also reset all your edits in Peakto to the actual catalog's values.
Why i have to clic on the yellow wheel so often ?
There is a good reason, because Peakto is tracking all the changes in your catalog!
When you ask Bridge to read the metadata in the files. You have to clic on the yellow wheel to force Peakto to update with all your Lightroom changes, and then the blue pencil will disappear.
