Between 2004 and 2010 I used iView / Expression Media and Bridge to manage my picture archive and writing projects (I now use Lightroom), and worked with some leading pros to improve their digital asset management and photographic workflow. This covered:

  • personalized training
  • scripting and automation
  • integration with Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture
  • data migration
    • moving your metadata to Lightroom
    • getting metadata into Expression Media

About these scripts

These scripts come from those projects:

  • the scripts are free but are unsupported (here’s my Amazon wish list)
  • use them at your own risk – test them on test files in test catalogues
  • custom scripts can be quick for me to write but can save you lots of time. They can be on an Amazon basis.

Adapting for Expression Media

Edit the script in Notepad or TextEdit. Look for the CreateObject line and replace the word “iView” with “ExpressionMedia”.

Adapting for PhaseOne MediaPro

Edit the script in Notepad or TextEdit. Look for the CreateObject line and replace the word “iView” or “ExpressionMedia” with “PhaseOneMediaPro”, so it reads “PhaseOneMediaPro.Application”.
