Would there be any issues to consider when using numbers as keywords?
The reason I would be doing this is to identify different sizes of printed photographs that I have available for purchase. I would like to use my existing LR catalog but this may be a case for having separate catalog for this purpose.
For example, lets say I have a 16x20 inch printed photograph. I would use the number 16 as a keyword to identify the shorter side of a 16x20 inch printed photograph. When searching the catalog with the keyword 16 then I could find all my printed photographs that are 16x20 inches in size.
I know that I could also do this with Excel or another database program but I want to try it in Lightroom. The numbered keywords will live in their own parent folder so as not to clutter my keyword list.
It would seem like this would work but I am just trying to foresee any problems that might come up later in my catalog.
Any feedback is welcome - Thanks!
