To label files with Bridge

Labeling files with a certain color is a flexible way to mark a large number of files quickly. Using the View > Sort
menu or Unfilter button, you can choose to view files according to their color label.
For example, suppose you've just imported a large number of images and are viewing them in Bridge. As you review
each new image, you can label those you want to keep. After this initial pass, you can use the Unfilter button to
display and work on files that you've labeled with a particular color.
You can assign names to labels through the Preferences dialog box. The name is then added to the file's metadata
when you apply the label.
Note: When you view folders, Bridge shows both labeled and unlabeled files until you choose another option. Also,
purging the cache deletes labels from files that don't support XMP write (such as BMP, DCS, Pict, PS6 PDF, and PSB
files), locked files, or read-only files (such as files on CDs).
Select one or more files.
