I recently discovered a really neat little feature in Photoshop - File Info. In the past whenever I found a picture or graphic I liked on the Web I would always save it to my computer but then I always forgot later where I found the images.



With the File Info feature it lets you enter title, author, caption, copyright information, and even the owner's URL. It will even display a copyright symbol in the title bar of the image window, if you choose Copyrighted Work in the Copyright Status menu.



The information you add is embedded in the file using XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform).

To load, save, or append file information, in the File Info dialog box, do one of the following:

? Click Load to replace the current information with information stored in a File Info file. You can load either an XMP file or an FFO file created by a previous version of Photoshop.

? Click Save to save the current file information in an XMP file for later use.

? Click Append to add information stored in a File Info file to the current file information. For each File Info field, if the field does not contain information then it will be updated with contents from the file. Caption and Keywords will always be appended with the information from the file.

This is a really cool feature because now I can collect photos and graphics off the Web and also write down all the pertinent info and save it right along with the image.

Good one Mouse,
And, in the Photoshop CS File Browser you can search by keywords descriptions, etc, that you "attach" to the file.
