Keyword sets
As you add increasing numbers of keyword tags to the catalog, it’s important to create keyword sets so you can easily
access relevant keyword tags. For example, you can create keyword sets of up to nine keyword tags for certain events,
locations, people, or assignments. Keyword sets do not change how keyword tags are written to the photo’s metadata.
They simply provide different ways to organize keyword tags. Keyword tags can belong to more than one keyword set.
Create keyword sets
❖ In the Library module, do any of the following:
• To convert the Recent Keywords set into a saved keyword set, click the Keyword Set pop-up menu in the
Keywording panel and choose Save Current Settings As New Preset. Type a name for the keyword set and click
Create.
• To include specific keyword tags in a keyword set, make sure that a keyword set is chosen in the Keywording
panel. Then, either choose Keyword Set > Edit Set in the Keywording panel or choose Metadata > Keyword Set
> Edit. Type or overwrite keyword tags in the text boxes, and choose Save Current Settings As New Preset from
the Preset menu. In the New Preset dialog box, type a name for the keyword set and click Create.
Choose keyword sets
❖ In the Keywording panel of the Library module, choose a keyword set from the Keyword Set pop-up menu:
