About keywords
Keywords are customer-added image metadata that describes the contents of a photo. They help you identify, search
for, and find photos in the catalog. Once applied to photos, keywords can be read by Adobe applications such as Adobe
Bridge, Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements, or other applications that support XMP metadata.
Lightroom provides several ways to apply keywords to photos. You can type or select them in the Keywording panel,
or drag photos to specific keywords in the Keyword List panel.
In the Grid view, photos with keywords display a thumbnail badge
. All keywords in the catalog are viewed in the
Keyword List panel. You can add, edit, rename, or delete keywords at any time. When creating or editing keywords, you
can specify synonyms and export options. Synonyms are related terms for keywords. When you select photos that
contain keywords with synonyms, the synonyms appear in the Keywording panel when Keyword > Will Export is
selected.
Keywords can contain other, nested keywords. For example, the keyword animals might contain the keywords dogs and
cats. The keyword dogs, in turn, might contain Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, and so on.
Keywords can also be organized into groups called keyword sets. By choosing a specific keyword set, relevant keywords
are more accessible. This is especially useful as you add more keywords to the catalog.

• To view keywords for one photo, select it in the Grid view or in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view
and look in the Keywords area of the Keywording panel. Or look at the Keyword List panel: A check mark to the
left of a keyword in the Keyword List panel indicates that the selected photo contains that tag.
