Last updated 4/20/2015
Lightroom provides hints as you type. To choose a keyword hint, click it in the pop-up list.
A Plus sign (+) next to a keyword in the Keyword List panel indicates that it is part of the current keyword shortcut.
3 To apply the keyword shortcut, select one or more photos in the Grid view or the Filmstrip, right-click (Windows)
or Control-click (Mac OS), and choose Add Keyword [Name Of Keyword Tag].
Add or remove keywords using the Painter tool
Once you’ve specified the keywords for the keyword shortcut, you can quickly apply the keyword shortcut to photos
using the Painter tool.
Note: If the Painter tool does not appear in the toolbar, choose Painter from the toolbar menu.
1 In the Library module, do one of the following:
• Choose Metadata > Enable Painting.
• In the Grid view, click the Painter tool icon in the toolbar.
When the Painter tool is enabled, the pointer becomes a painter icon and the Painter icon is no longer visible in the
toolbar.
2 If necessary, choose Keywords from the Paint menu in the toolbar.
3 If necessary, type the keyword or keywords you want to add or remove in the toolbar field.
4 Do any of the following:
• To apply a keyword shortcut to a single photo, click the photo using the Painter tool.
• To apply a keyword shortcut to multiple photos, click and drag across the photos in the Grid view.
• To remove a keyword shortcut, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) to change the Painter tool to an eraser.
Click the photo again, or click and drag across multiple photos, with the eraser.
Tip: Filter the photos in Grid view by clicking the white arrow at the far right of the keyword in the Keyword List
panel so that only the photos containing the keywords you want to remove are displayed.
5 To disable the Painter, click the circular well in the toolbar. When disabled, the Painter icon is visible in the toolbar.
Quickly assign keywords from keyword sets
While assigning keywords using the Painter tool, you can now quickly assign multiple keywords from convenient
keywords sets.
Do the following:
1 In the Library module, select one or more photos. Ctrl/Cmd+click to select multiple photos.
2 Click the Painter tool ( ) and then press the Shift key. A keyword assignment dialog box is displayed.
