Custom Metadata Panel

Adobe DME Services

Info

The Custom Metadata Panel provides Enterprises and individuals with a way to focus their attention on critical metadata in one panel. The panel is completely customizable and helps end users and DAM managers tune their metadata view for maximum accuracy and efficiency. With many form field types and available metadata presets, it expands the metadata capabilities of Creative Cloud Desktop applications without using XML or special coding. It includes tabs for many common metadata schemas, such as IPTC, PLUS, Astronomy Visualization Metadata Standard, and more. Tabs are customizable and help users and asset managers tune their metadata view for maximum accuracy and efficiency. With many features, it expands the metadata capabilities of Bridge, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro without using XML or special coding. Form fields include: • Text • Numbers • URLs • Tags (like Keywords) • Dropdown menus • Dates & Times • Checkbox and Checkbox Groups • Switch and Switch Group • Radio Buttons • Tables • Calculation • Structures • Hidden fields • AEM Tags (special case just for Adobe Experience Manager) Other features include a read-only entries, section dividers, a built-in form editor, form definition file import and export, metadata value preset import and export, and the ability to use a URL as the location for the form. This last feature is ideal for Enterprise or group applications, where a DAM Manager posts the form to a common location and all users get the latest and greatest. See the User Guide for additional details. https://github.com/adobe-dmeservices/custom-metadata/wiki The Custom Metadata Panel provides Enterprises and individuals with a way to focus their attention on critical metadata in one panel. Special thanks to the following, who graciously created example Views that you can use when creating a new Tab: • David Riecks, Michael Steidl and Brendan Quinn from IPTC for their collaboration and amazingly helpful feedback. • Martin Gersbach for creating a repository of useful config files for common metadata namespaces and properties.

What's new

Updated July 16, 2025
Version 2.0.12
This release improved linked item support for Custom Metadata in InDesign. InDesign documents often include linked Library items, Cloud Documents, and even AEM Assets. To make it easier to inspect metadata for these items, we have introduced round trip workflows. Linked Library Items When you select a linked Library item, Custom metadata will display the option to view metadata in the originating application. Linked Cloud Documents Custom Metadata will now allow you to open linked Photoshop Cloud Documents directly from the panel. You will need to open linked Cloud InDesign documents from the Home screen. Linked AEM Assets When a local copy of a linked AEM Asset is not available to InDesign, Custom Metadata will now present a button to open the asset's Properties page in AEM. You can then view both XMP and AEM metadata. If you check out the linked asset from Asset Link in InDesign, then Custom Metadata will have a local copy and can display the asset's XMP metadata directly.

Where to find it

In Illustrator, Premiere Pro, InDesign and Bridge, choose Window>Extensions>Custom Metadata In Photoshop, choose Windows>Extensions (Legacy)>Custom Metadata. Note: Apple Silicon users, please run Photoshop in Rosetta 2 mode to use this extension
