How do I add keywords to photos already in my catalog. For example - say I have 10 photos of the moon and I want to add the keyword moon to them all at once. And if I am successful in doing that, how do I then search my whole catalog for all moon photos? I want simple instructions, when I look on line the instructions seem very confusing and outdated. I am on the latest version. thanks!!

If you already have the keyword “Moon” in your keyword list panel , Select all of the images that need this keyword assigned in the grid, then tick the check box to the left next to the keyword in the keyword list panel.

To filter on keywords, again go to the keyword list panel and navigate to the keyword you want. To the right of that keyword in the keyword list panel is a number indicating how many images have this keyword assigned. Click on that number and the grid view will be populated with al of the images that have that keyword assigned.

PS: take note that this ONLY works in the grid view. Not the Loupe, survey, or compare views even if you have all desired images selected inthe film strip.
