Depending on the selected file, the following types of metadata appear in the Bridge Metadata panel:
File Properties Describes the characteristics of the file, including the size, creation date, and modification date.
IPTC Core Displays editable metadata. You can add captions to your files as well as copyright information. IPTC
Core is a new specification that was approved by IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) in
October 2004. It differs from the older IPTC (IIM, legacy) in that new properties have been added, some property
names have changed, and some properties have been deleted. You can display the older IPTC (IIM, legacy) metadata
by selecting it from the Metadata options in the Preferences dialog box.
IPTC (IIM, legacy) Displays editable metadata. As with IPTC Core, you can add captions to your files as well as
copyright information.This set of metadata is hidden by default, because it has been superseded by IPTC Core.
However, you can choose it by selecting it from the Metadata options in the Preferences dialog box.
Fonts Lists the fonts used in Adobe InDesign files.
Swatches List the swatches used in Adobe InDesign files.
Camera Data (Exif) Displays information assigned by digital cameras. EXIF information includes the camera
settings used when the image was taken.
GPS Displays navigational information from a global positioning system (GPS) available in some digital cameras.
Photos without GPS information don’t have GPS metadata.
Camera Raw Displays settings applied by the Camera Raw plug-in.
Edit History Keeps a log of changes made to images with Photoshop.
Adobe Stock Photos Lists information about images obtained from Adobe Stock Photos.

Note: Depending on the applications you are using, custom panels for various properties may appear here as well.
