Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One

next editable item, my Title, “Touriste Américan.” Other entries

appear in Figure 1-30. If you want to follow them, fine; if not,

feel free to go your own way—I was never much of a stickler

for metadata decorum. When you finish, press the Enter key

on the keypad. If that doesn’t work, try Alt+Enter or click the

at the bottom of the panel.

To enter the copyright symbol © in the Copyright field, make sure Num

Lock is active. Then hold down the Alt key, type 0-1-6-9 on the numeric

keypad, and release Alt. (On the Mac, just press Option-G.)

10. Switch to the Keywords panel. Click the Keywords tab to
    the right of the Metadata tab. Keywords allow you to identify
    specific items in a photograph and then search for them later.
    The most obvious concepts for keywords are who, what, and
    where, represented by the default categories People, Event, and
    Place, respectively. According to convention, these categories
    are keywords; the items indented below them are subkeywords.


11. Make your own keywords. Unless all your photos are of peo-
    ple named Matthew and Ryan (or perhaps Julius), and all your
    sightseeing happens in the five cities already listed, you’ll need
    to create your own keywords. Right-click the Events item and
    choose New Sub Keyword, and then type “Vacation” and turn
    on the check box that goes with it. I also added a couple of
    subkeywords under Place, namely France and Provence (see
    Figure 1-31). If you’re feeling ambitious, you can add your own
    categories—such as Deke, Cheese Tour, or Overindulgence—by
    right-clicking in the panel and choosing New Keyword.


12. Mark the image as copyrighted. Not all metadata info is avail-
    able from within the Bridge. For example, to mark an image
    as copyrighted—so that Photoshop displays a copyright sym-
    bol in the title bar when you open it—you have to dig a little
    deeper. Choose File→File Info or press the keyboard shortcut
    Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I (�-Shift-Option-I). The ensuing File Info
    dialog box repeats much of the IPTC data you’ve already en-
    tered, including keywords. But one notable addition is Copy-
    right Status. Set this option to Copyrighted. Then click OK.

At this point, you’re basically finished. The only problem is that it took twelve

steps to annotate a single image. Wouldn’t it be great if you could annotate

the others without repeating all these steps again? Fortunately, there is a

way, as I explain in the remaining three steps.
