Organizing photos
Last updated 4/20/2015
• To view keywords for more than one photo, select the photos in the Grid view and look in the Keywords area of
the Keywording panel. An asterisk appears to next to the keywords not shared by all the selected photos. In the
Keyword List panel, a minus sign to the left of a keyword indicates the tag is not shared by all selected photos.
Create keywords
1 With one or more photos selected in the Grid view, or with a single photo selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe,
Compare, or Survey view, do any of the following:
• Type in the field labeled Click Here To Add Keywords in the Keyword area of the Keywording panel. Then, press
Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS). Skip the rest of the steps in this procedure.
• Click the Plus icon (+) in the Keyword List panel.
Note: Commas, semicolons, and pipes ( | ) are not allowed in keywords, as they are used to delimit keyword lists.
Keywords cannot end with an asterisk ( * ). Keywords and synonyms cannot start or end with a space or tab character.
2 In the Create Keyword dialog box, type a name for the keyword.
3 Type synonyms for the keyword. Use commas to separate the synonyms.
4 Select any of the following options:
Put Inside “[keyword]” (Available if an existing keyword is selected when you create a keyword) Nests the new
keyword under the selected keyword so that it is contained by the higher-level keyword.
Add To Selected Photos Applies the keyword to the selected photos.
Include On Export Includes the keyword tag when exporting photos. When this option is deselected, the keyword
tag is not included.
Export Containing Keywords Includes higher-level keywords that contain the keyword tag when exporting photos.
Export Synonyms Includes synonyms associated with the keyword tag when exporting photos.
If more than one photo is selected in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, keywords are added only to the active photo.
To automatically nest new keywords under a particular higher-level tag, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac
OS) the higher-level tag in the Keyword List panel and choose Put New Keywords Inside This Keyword. A dot appears
next to the parent keyword, and all new tags become children to that keyword until you deselect the option in the context
menu.
Edit keywords
1 In the Library module, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a keyword tag in the Keyword List panel,
and choose Edit Keyword Tag from the menu.
2 In the Edit Keyword Tag dialog box, type any changes to the keyword tag name, add synonyms, or set any of the
following keyword tag options:

tag is not included.

photos.
