    Library module Keywording made simple???

    I find both face recognition/tagging and keywording to be highly useful for me (I regularly get requests for specific photos from the last 10-20 years) but I've been a "bad person" and haven't done face recognition or tagging to the extent I would like, since it has been so slow. When I...

    Missing keywords

    Hello all, I recently discovered an issue that I was hoping to get some insight on. Since I started using Lightroom Classic in 2015, I always keyword all of my photos. About a month ago I ran out of internal hard drive space, so I ended up transferring all photos to a large external hard drive...

I want to sync all the collective keywords from all the images and then will delete the duplicated images. From what...

    Keyword Tag clarification please

    Could somebody please clarify the difference between: "Create Keyword Tag inside...." and "Put New Keyword Inside....." when using hierarchical keywording [Lightroom 6.14 *yes, I know, time to update!!* both on Windows and OSX Mojave). I cannot see a practical difference in my finished keyword...

    A more advanced Keywords List Panel question

    Automatically keyword numbers in photos?

    Is there a plugin or a hack to either automatically keyword or at least search (that would probably apply more to LR) by the numbers visible in the photos? This is helpful to sports photographers. Not every shot will show a jersey number clearly, but if a half does and get thus indexed, that...

    Library module Help me think through this keywording issue

    Back story: At one time I had high hopes for custom XMP metadata fields, because Adobe described such fields in their original documents about XMP. But they failed to follow through, and even today Lightroom doesn't natively support custom metadata fields. And even if Lightroom did, no other...

    Keyword count and functionality

    Do you think that Adobe will give serious arrention to revamping its handling of keywords anytime soon? They have introduced a count of keywords in a tooltip hover over the keyword entry panel. It tells you how many keywords you have entered. Better than nothing, I suppose, but not by much...

    Keyboard shortcuts for keywording??

    We're using LR cc on a mac platform at work. We regularly catalog 1,000+ "snapshots" for projects. Our workflow seems to work well except for keywording... which is often neglected because it tends to be very time consuming. We really only use 6 primary keywords but relevant images are...

    Keyword updating question.

    Hi All, Can anyone tell me if changing/updating keywords in Lightroom Library mode, should Lightroom automatically update any previously exported images too? The photographs are not in any collections. Mine doesn't appear to do so.

    LR Performance During Keywording

    I've been having performance problems during keywording. Keywording works fine initially, and gets gradually less and less responsive. In addition, selecting photos gets less responsive, and sometimes clicks for selection are ignored. Leaving LR and restarting temporarily resolves the issue...

    Less than X keywords

    Hi Is it possible to identify photos that have less than, say, three keywords? (Using a Smart Collection or otherwise.) I have the preset Smart Collection which identifies photos without any keywords, but I was hoping to go a bit further.

    Family Photo Keyword Hierarchy

    Hi There, I've completed scanning 7000+ slides of my family and I'm anxious to begin keywording. I've read so much I'm going cross eyed, but I still don't understand what my hierarchy should look like. I've started down the road of a Who, What, Where, When approach, but don't know if this is...
