I am curious how to get my keywords into the IPTC data in Lightroom. Is this automatic when inserting keywords in Library Mode at the RH side in “Keywords” or is there something more to do?

Editing keyword sets is impossible. I click on the “edit set” button and the keyword set shows up. I change one of the keywords and click “change” and it looks fine until I click on the keyword set again and it reverts to the old setting. Is this what Adobe planned?

The only way to do it is to give it a different name. This is a bit to much if you only want to change one of the keywords.

-thanks-

To John:

LR keywords can be burned to the file with “Metadata – Save Metadata to file” -command. After that Bridge (and all others who are able to read EXIF metadata) can see the keywords from photos.

Matt-

I had a Lightroom Keyword question and thought this would be the best place to post it….

If I’m using LR to keyword photos, I have noticed that you can’t see those Keywords in Bridge. However, if you keyword photos in Bridge, they are visible in LR. I presume this is due to the non-destructive editing feature in LR? Is there a way to have your LR keywords be visible in Bridge without exporting the photos to a new folder?

Thanks!

How do I just sort my photos in the library to view alphabetically by keywords, then rename name so they match that order? Is this really easy like it is in iview? I can’t seem for the life of me figure out how to do this in Lightroom, I’ve been doing it for years in iview in 2 seconds flat, but now that MicroBad bought iview I want out.. please help so I can make the switch without pulling my hair out someone…

I would like to see a tutorial on how to use keywords to find pictures. One keyword is easy, but how to use combinations when searching is not explained. I am not talking about parent and child keywords. I have keyworded family members in one string, activities in another and location in a third. How do I find pictures based on such combination of keywords.

I have a Mac, and don’t have a Keyword Sets folder in the location specified. I created one and dropped the template files into it, and when I start Lightroom, they don’t show up in the list. Anyone have any ideas?
