Using the Keywords HUD to Apply Keywords

You can use the Keywords HUD to quickly apply keywords to one or more images. You
can simply drag keywords to any image or selection of images in the Viewer or
Browser. When you select a group of images, you can assign keywords to all the
selected images at once.

To assign a keyword using the Keywords HUD:

1

To show the Keywords HUD, do one of the following:

 Choose Window > Show Keywords HUD (or press Shift-H).
 Click the Keywords HUD button in the toolbar.

The Keywords HUD appears.

2

Do one of the following:

 If the Browser is in grid view: Drag a keyword or keyword group from the Keywords

HUD to an image or selected images in the Viewer or Browser.

 If the Browser is in list view: Drag a keyword from the Keywords HUD to an image in

the Browser list. The keyword appears in the Keywords column for that image.

Note: Depending on the metadata options you have set, the Keywords column
may not appear. For more information, see “

Viewing Keywords in the Browser in List

View

” on page 250.

 If Aperture is set to Full Screen view: Drag a keyword or keyword group from the

Keywords HUD to an image or selected images.

The keyword is applied to the image or selection of images to which you dragged it. To
view keywords applied to images, see “

Viewing Keywords Applied to Images

” on
