Add tasks to workflows

After you create a workflow, start adding the desired tasks to begin stitching the workflow.

Specify the details of your workflow and tasks

In the Workflow Details section, you can specify the Workflow Preset name, Workflow Saving Options (Output Location), and Task Details based on the selected task.

Preset Name

Preset Name: Enter the name of the Workflow preset.

Savings Option

Save To: Expand the drop-down option to choose a location - Original File Location and Specific Folder.

• If you select the Specific Folder option, you can further use the Browse field to set a location for your exported files.
• Enable the Save to subfolder named checkbox and type in a name to specify a subfolder location.
• You can also Manage Conflicts by selecting any of the options from the dropdown menu - Create Unique File Name, Overwrite Existing File, or Skip File.

Task Details

Change Format: Use this option to change the format using the Workflow panel. Bridge supports JPEG, DNG, TIFF, and PNG for conversion.

Apply Metadata: To learn more about applying metadata templates, view Work with metadata templates.

• Include Original Metadata: Select this checkbox and use the dropdown menu to choose from the metadata associated with the files that you wish to keep.
• Select the Remove Location Info checkbox to remove location-specific metadata from the saved files.
• Apply Metadata Template: Select this checkbox and choose from the following fields: 
  • Name: Choose any of the available metadata from the Name dropdown.
  • Method: Select a method - Append Metadata, or Replace Metadata.
• Additional Keywords (Separated by semicolon): Use this field to add additional keywords to the files you wish to export.

Resize to: This option is applicable only for JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.

• Scale Image: Select this option to set a scale percentage.
• Resize to: Select this option to resize your assets to fit or fill a target rectangle area and set the dimensions. You can resize images based on Long edge, Short edge, or Width Height. 
  • Long edge: You can manually change the Dimension and Resolution before resizing the images.
  • Short edge: You can manually change the Dimension and Resolution before resizing the images.
  • Width Height: You can manually change the Width, Height, and Resolution before resizing the images. When you select Width Height as your Fit option, your image is resized as per a target rectangle. On selecting Fill, you can resize on the basis of the Width Height. You can also view image thumbnails with the original and new sizes of the images mentioned below each thumbnail. You can specify the Resolution of the image in Pixels/inch or Pixels/cm and Dimension metrics in pixels/inches/cm.
• Don't Enlarge: Select this option to prevent your image from being enlarged during resizing.
• Resample Method: Choose any of the available Resample Method — Bilinear, Bicubic (best for smooth gradients), or Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction).

Batch Rename

• Preset Name: Select a preset from the Presets menu to rename with frequently used naming schemes.
  Important: Batch rename presets are used as a reference in the Workflow builder. Any changes made to the rename settings need to be saved first to be picked in the Workflow.
  Note: If you change a Batch rename preset outside of the Workflow builder, and if that preset is referred to in a Workflow, the changes made in the Batch rename preset will be honored. If you delete a Batch rename preset outside of the Workflow builder, that preset reference will be lost in the Workflow.
• New Filenames: Choose elements from the menus and enter the text as appropriate to create new filenames. Click the Plus icon (+) or Delete icon () to add or delete elements.
• Options: Select Preserve current filename In XMP Metadata to retain the original filename in the metadata. For Compatibility, select the operating systems with which you want the renamed files to be compatible. The current operating system is selected by default and cannot be deselected.
