Applying Keywords Using the Lift & Stamp HUD
If you have images that should share the same keywords, you can use the Lift and
Stamp tools to quickly apply all or some of the keywords from one image to other
images. Using the Lift and Stamp tools is an efficient way to apply keywords and other
types of metadata, such as ratings, to large numbers of images. The Lift and Stamp
tools can also apply adjustments made to images, such as cropping, straightening,
exposure changes, and other adjustments. For more information about using the Lift
and Stamp tools to apply adjustments, see “
Applying Adjustments to a Group of
Images ” on page 335.
The Lift and Stamp tools have a corresponding HUD you can use in the Browser, the
Viewer, and the Light Table, as well as in Full Screen view.
To lift all the keywords from an image and stamp them on another image
or group of images:
1 Click an image.
