The purpose of the Visual Resources Association’s (VRA) Custom File Info panel is to use Adobe’s open-source labeling technology, Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP)iv, to allow users to embed descriptive metadata directly into an image file. Embedding metadata into the image file 1) allows the descriptive information to travel with the file across file formats and software applications, 2) aids search and retrieval, and 3) improves metadata capture to expedite workflow. These benefits enable users to share descriptive metadata. Creative works shown in an image are described with the VRA Essential (vrae) schema, an essential subset of VRA Core 4.0v that is practical in Adobe File Info Panels. VRA Essential is a flat implementation of the VRA Core 4.0 standard. With some exceptions, data entered into the fields is not controlled. Users should take into consideration the destination of their embedded images and make every effort to produce useful, compatible metadata. It is highly recommended that users follow a “best practice” that is appropriate to their discipline, organization, vocation, etc. For example, visual resources professionals may wish to use the guidelines for Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO)vi. Librarians may wish to use Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)vii. Faculty and researchers may wish to capture data on site and enter it directly from the field. Data entry guidelines are strongly recommended to minimize errors. Objectives:
• Use Adobe XMP labeling technology to embed descriptive data. • Allow curators and collection managers to more efficiently collect metadata from faculty
and student contributors and ingest it into a central database. • Allow database assistants to enter pre-cataloging information, i.e., source captions,
original resource documentation, or backlog tracking information. • Empower contributors to keep embedded metadata in their image files for the purpose of
managing them with common desktop photo applications and sharing with colleagues and students.
• Create data that is compatible with both the VRA Core 4 and International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC)viii data standards so that it is interoperable with most photo software applications and can be easily ingested into a visual resources database.

Specifications
Software supported
The VRA File Info panel works with Adobe Creative Suite 4 and 5 products Photoshop/Bridge, and Illustrator and Photoshop Elements 9. It is NOT compatible with Lightroom.
Based on the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP), Adobe CS File Info panels can share the same metadata properties. The various panels show the same data, but present it in variety of combinations to suit different users. For example, when data is entered into a VRA panel, it can appear in another one (see: The Description field in the IPTC panel). Essentially one data source has a multitude of views. The VRA panel uses various data schemas to create a custom view that describes cultural heritage works. The approach to building the VRA panel was to use as many well-known namespaces as possible to provide interoperability with a wide range of photo software. The first schema used was IPTC core, then any other namespace built into XMP (as specified in the XMP specs, parts 1 & 2). Remaining properties were assigned to VRA Essential (vrae). Most vrae fields are combined to create Keywords and a photo Caption, the most widely supported fields in photo applications, web sites and operating systems. This ensures that the most essential data about an artwork can be read when the user does not have access to the VRA or IPTC Adobe CS panels.
The panel is divided into four sections • Work: describes the creative artwork, object or performance shown in the image/photo. • Image: describes the photo as a visual surrogate of the Artwork/Object. • Administration: information used for project oversight and tracking. • Summary: data that will show in most photo applications
The name of each field appears on the left of its data entry box. A logo denoting the schema type appears to the right of each data entry box. See the Key below to find out more about the panel’s features. Click on to customize the panel’s view and fields. To find out more about customization, see page 14.

IPTC Data Warning
The IPTC Extension schema contains additional fields that are not used in the VRA panel. If this button appears you should use the CS5 IPTC Ext panel or the IPTC-PLUS plugin for CS2, 3 & 4 to be sure all data is accurate. http://www.iptc.org/goto?iptcplustoolkitadobecs
The VRA File Info panel can also be used in Adobe Bridge. One benefit of using the panel in Bridge is that it allows you to apply the same data to multiple images at once and manage templates. Once the VRA files are installed, there are two ways to access the VRA metadata: 1. Open the VRA File Info Panel in Photoshop from Bridge (page 10) 2. Use the Bridge Metadata Panel (below)
19
Bridge Metadata Panel
The VRA metadata panel can be used directly from the Bridge workspace. This panel shows the four sections of the VRA info panel as, VRA Work, VRA Image, VRA Admin and VRA Summary. Note that these show all the fields in the VRA File Info Panel but have limited functionality:
• Only direct text entry is possible, there are no drop-down lists. • Some fields are not editable (use the IPTC Core panel instead):
o Image: Original Date Creator(s) Copyright Status (See below) Copyright URL (See below) Usage Terms Copyright Notice
o Administration:
Collection(s) Job Identifier Cataloger
o Summary:
DC Title Keywords Description/Caption
• Creative Commons only accept controlled values
o see: http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/41021096/Creative-Commons-License-Help
• Any customization that is done in the VRA File Info panel’s Customized Screen is not kept in Bridge. However, the panels can be still be customized through Bridge’s Preference settings.
Note: You can increase the size of Bridge’s Metadata Panel by dragging the borders of the panel up, down and/or sideways. To save your customized workspace go to Window in the menu, select Workspace and then New Workspace… Name your workspace and save it.
Metadata panel preferences Fields are made visible in the panel by selecting them in Bridge’s Metadata Preferences. Check to see that all fields are visible by doing one of the following: 1) Locate the Preference icon to the right of the Metadata panel, click and select Prefernces…, or
2) Find Preferences by clicking on Edit → Preferences (PC) or Adobe Bridge CS…→ Preferences (Mac)
21
Select the metadata fields that you want to display Uncheck “Hide Empty Fields” → OK
22
Using the VRA Bridge Metadata Panel You can add or edit metadata directly into the Bridge Metadata panel.
1. Open Bridge and navigate to the image(s) file(s) that you wish to work with using the “Folders” tab located on the either side of the “Content” tab in the workspace.
2. Once the images can be viewed in the “Content” tab, select the files that you want to write data to by clicking on them.
• To select multiple images sequentially, hold down the Shift key and click on the
image at the beginning of the sequence using the mouse and then click on the last image in the sequence.
• To select multiple images randomly use the “Control/Command” key and mouse to click on the desired files.
Add or Edit metadata
1. Click the Pencil icon to the far right of the metadata field you want to edit. 2. Type in the box to edit or add metadata. 3. Press Tab to move through metadata fields. 4. When you have finished editing the metadata, click the Apply button at the bottom of
the Metadata panel. To cancel any changes you’ve made, click the Cancel button at the bottom of the panel.
