MANAGING THE METADATA OVERLOAD

The Metadata palette in Bridge provides much more information than the average person will ever need. If you don't need all this "metadata overload," you can set it up so it only displays the data you care about, giving you a more orderly, easier-to-read Metadata palette. To do this, go to Bridge's Metadata palette, click on the flyout menu, and choose Preferences. In the dialog that appears, uncheck any fields you don't need displayed, turn on the checkbox at the bottom for Hide Empty Fields, and click OK.
