Keywording

Here's a couple of tips for you - don't get behind in your keywording and don't let your keyword library get in a mess.

I am guilty of both at the moment and facing a lot of boring and frustrating hours migrating to my latest bird species keyword libraries and getting up to date with Nature data LR tags too.

Not to mention tidying up and consolidating all those descriptors.  Although this is where Lightroom is a help – synonyms.

I have started to pull all the variations into synonyms, keeping the library nice and tidy in Lightroom, but still having the benefit of the extra keywords when I export out.

Colour has the synonym color

Perching has perched, sitting, standing

Don’t forget, the Lightroom versions of my species keywords take full advantage of this, e.g. White-billed Diver has Gavia adamsii and Yellow-billed Diver as synonyms.

Right, I better get back to that keyword library…
