Which step in Adobe Bridge is used to access the Metadata tab for an image?

• A. Selecting Essentials from Window > Workspace and then opening the Metadata tab
• B. Opening the Preview panel
• C. Choosing File > Open
• D. Using the Keywords panel

Answer: (A)

In Adobe Bridge, metadata is accessed through the Metadata panel, which is available when the workspace includes that panel. The straightforward way to make it visible is to switch to the Essentials workspace (Window > Workspace) and then open the Metadata tab. This setup specifically brings up the panels you need for viewing and editing image metadata (EXIF/IPTC data) in one place, so you can work with metadata without hunting through other panels. The other steps don’t reveal the Metadata tab: the Preview panel is only for on-image previews, File > Open relates to opening files rather than panel visibility, and the Keywords panel deals with tagging rather than general metadata.
