    Library module Apply multiple keywords at once with keyword set shortcut?

    Hi there, I am once again trying to optimize my keywording workflow for speed, specifically with keywords that re-occur over and over again, more specifically keywords that re-occur over and over in different combinations. What I have done was to create keyboard sets with the different...

    Lost photos

    I have a keyword that shows 100 photos with that keyword. When I selected all the photos with that keyword and removed the keyword in the Keyword list it still shows one photo. I'm sure this has been asked and answered before but I can't find it.

    Library module New keyword not listed when typing on LRC 12.4

    I have added a new keyword called "pretty" to my existing list of well used keywords. When I use any of the old ones and start to type in the keywording panel after the first one or two characters typed it will prompt me with suggestions for which keyword I might want, which is very useful. But...

    "Export containing keywords"

    In my Lightroom set up, when a new keyword is created, the box for "export containing keywords" is checked by default. I never paid this much attention, because I didn't use the export function very frequently, and when I did export, I didn't really care if the containing keywords were exported...

    Keywords Not Differentiating Properly between Capitalized Words and Non-capitalized Words

    Back in 2020 I asked about this but that thead is closed. I have never found a solution but did just report this as a bug to Adobe. Hoping some unfortunate souls have also been struggling with this issue and have figured out a new solution. Lightroom Classic Version Number: 11.5 and earlier OS...

    "Naming" a virtual copy

    Instagram (to use a specific example) has a preferred aspect ratio which I rarely use except for Instagram posts. So, I make a virtual copy, resize, and post. Fine. It would be cool if I could "name" the copy. I predict everyone here knew this except me but it turns out that you can add...

    I accidentally deleted a keyword which was the top level hierarchy of dozens of keywords, representing almost 200K images. My catalog was running slow and I was cleaning up the unwanted keywords I had that had populated from previous imports. LRC was running slow and not responding to the delete...

    Auto-complete not working for person keywords

    I recently upgraded computers and imported my catalog into a new catalog on the new machine. Unfortunately, once complete, I noticed that auto-complete on my person keywords no longer works. Given the amount of old-photo archiving that I do, I have thousands of keywords. Does anyone have a...

    Keywords Created on Mobile App Do Not Sync to Desktop...

    Just searched but couldn't find this issue. Have recently started using the mobile app on iOs. Everything syncs fine up to my desktop PC and Classic - except for keywords added. I'm assuming this is deliberately not enabled but cannot see why. It would save considerable time - I often get...

    If I understand how the image count in the keyword panel works, what I see below means that there is an image that has the explicit keyword BODIES OF WATER: If I click on the arrow to the right of BODIES OF WATER, the library now looks like this: LR has now found 583 images. BUT, in the...

    Keywords- slow

    Since the last two updates to LR 10 I find the program is slowing down, having to close and open. Lately, adding keywords is almost impossible. It will start to auto complete and just hang. I have also noticed that when in PS, for no reason I can see, it will go back to LR! I had rolled back...

    I'm trying to create a smart collection based on the keyword 'portrait'. I want to find all images that have the keyword ...., portrait, (between the keyword separation commas). But no matter what I set it picks up the word portrait in other keywords, such as 'national portrait gallery'. Is...

    "Export containing keywords" doesn't work if synonym is used

    If I assign a keyword synonym to an image, containing keywords are not exported, even if "Export containing keywords" is checked. If I assign the keyword itself (non-synonym), containing keywords ARE exported if that box is checked. This isn't a huge deal, but it does make synonyms less useful.

    Keyword transfer

    It seems hit or miss when I export photos as jpg from one catalog and import them with Add to another catalog that the keywords come along. I cannot figure out what is different when they are missing. This has happened to me for many years and many versions of Classic. Any help is appreciated. N+13
