Annotate using the Catalog Fields index

  • Article

You can type annotations directly into the Organize panel. Some fields, such as Sample Color, File Type, and Color Profile, cannot be edited or appended to because the corresponding data refers to file states that either are permanent or require editing the image in order to change.

To add terms to the Organize panel

  1. Click the Organize toolbar button, or, on the Window menu, click Organize panel.

  2. Locate the annotation category. If you can't see the category you want to modify, click the Catalog Fields index in the menu in the upper-right corner of the panel.

  3. Expand the annotation group by clicking the group name (for example, DateFinder or Keywords) to show available terms for that annotation.

  4. If there is no annotation value, click the plus-sign icon Cc294768.370d1101-5c67-4485-a442-9b0c0c3a91d9(en-us,Expression.10).png at the top of the Catalog Fields pane.

  5. Type the name of the term, and then click OK.

  6. Select an item or group of items. Use the drag-and-drop operation to move the items onto the new term. Associating an item with an annotation in a catalog does not affect the original file.
