Can you help please
I'm renaming my image files from the original DSCF_1234 to say 11_1234 the 11 would be for player no 11 if i was covering a football match, what i want to know is, how i match the file to info in a database, & add that info to the image description. |

I'm not exactly sure I'm with you on this (it's been a long day! lol) but if you go to file/info the exif data should show the original file name. Wayne |

I'm after merging info from a database with an image file, an example with player number 11 could be nationality age etc etc, & i'd like to place that type of info into the image description, in a similar way to a data set would add info from a database to a layer in the image. |

You can add information in the exif data (the file info) theres a place there for disctiption.
You can add a sticky note to the image with the note tool (just above the hand tool) this will attach a sort of post it note you can add your text here and it will save with the image (not jpeg) this can be deleted/updated any time.
You can also add a voice note (click and hold on the note tool and select the audio option) although I must confess I haven't tried this one.

I'm looking to automating putting different captions on up to a thousand images at once, in the exif data, & i have the info in a database, it must be possible maybe with a script, with photoshop or Bridge. |

The tricky bit is going to be getting the information in and in the right order (so the right details match the pic) it might be possible with a script, but I wouldn't know where to start with that. Wayne |
