Rapid character scoring and tabulation of large leaf‐image libraries using Adobe Bridge
Abstract Premise Digital image libraries are an integral part of specimen‐based research. However, coding and extracting metadata for hundreds of specimens on a personal computer can be complex. In addition, most existing workflows require downsampling or platform switching and do not link character data directly to the images.
