Viewing Camera Raw and Lightroom metadata in Adobe Bridge

Because Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw, and Lightroom all use the XMP standard for storing metadata, each application can read metadata changes made in the others. If you add a star rating or IPTC information to a photo in Adobe Bridge, for example, Lightroom can display that metadata in the Library module. Similarly, adjustments or other metadata changes that you make to a photo in Camera Raw or Lightroom appear in Adobe Bridge.

While browsing files, Adobe Bridge rereads metadata, detects changes, and updates previews automatically. When Adobe Bridge detects metadata changes have been made to a photo, it displays a Has Settings badge  in the photo thumbnail in the Content panel.

Note: If you switch between Lightroom and Adobe Bridge rapidly, you may notice a delay in the update appearing in the Content and Preview panels. If, after waiting a few seconds, Adobe Bridge does not automatically display metadata changes from Lightroom or Camera Raw, choose View > Refresh, or press F5.
