Delete A Keyword From All Images

After importing an 18K+ iPhoto Library into Aperture, I now have the Keyword iPhoto Original on all the images.
How do I remove that Keyword from all the images?
Do I simply delete that particular Keyword?

If you don;t want the keyword at all anymore open the Keyword HUD and delete it there. You'll get a confirmation window telling you the keyword is applied do you really want to delete it from the images (or something like that).

  • Is it possible to remove a keyword from multiple images?

    There has to be some way to delete a keyword from multiple images, yet I can't figure it out. I know you can replace keywords via lift and stamp, but sometimes I may need to remove a keyword while leaving other different keywords in other images. If this cannot currently be done it needs to be fixed.

    1. select the images you want to remove a keyword from
    2. in the keyword field at the bottom type in the keyword you want to remove
    3. hold down shift, and hit enter
    Instead of assigning the keyword to the selected images, the keyword will be removed.

    How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2?  I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another.  When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums.  Please help.

    You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
    If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

  • Removing keywords from multiple images when the keyword isn't in the list?

    So, I know that the method for removing a keyword from multiple images is to select the images, type the keyword in the inspector and press Shift-Return.
    However, that doesn't seem to work if the keyword I want to remove is not in the keyword database (i.e. it's not in the keyword HUD).
    For example, I deleted the iPhoto keyword group from the keyword HUD because I decided I didn't like that. I've got a bunch of photos that still have keywords like "Beach (iPhoto)". Typing "Beach" Shift-Return does nothing. Typing "Beach (iPhoto)" Shift-Return does nothing.
    Adding an iPhoto group back to the HUD and a child keyword of Beach and then Typing "Beach" Shift-Return works, but I can't believe that's how it's supposed to work.
    Is that the only way to do this? I've got a lot of those old iPhoto keywords to remove and that's going to be a major pain... there must be a better way.

    I don't know if this will help you or not but it contains the roots of what you would need to script the removal of unwanted and unlisted keywords.
    -- script begins
    tell application "Aperture"
      -- set the target to the "Smart beetles" album at the top level of the library.
      tell album "Smart beetles" of folder ""
        -- get a list of the images in the album.
        set x to every image version
        -- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
        repeat with i from 1 to x's length
          tell x's item i
            -- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
            delete (every keyword whose name is "Australia" and parents is "Location")
            make new keyword with properties {name:"Sydney", parents:"Location"}
          end tell
        end repeat
      end tell
    end tell
    -- script ends

  • How do I deleter a keyword from a keyword collection?

    When I remove the keyword from all clips, it still appears on the keyword collection list under the event in the event list in the left hand column.  How can I get delete the keyword entirely from the list of keywords.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I'm going off topic here a bit, but I want to address the awkward termonolgy used in FCPX, of which this is a perfect example. A single word should not be called a collection, I can understand how desert56 had difficulty here, I reacted the same way. If something is a collection, it's more than one thing, calling a single item a collection makes no sense, it should be called a keyword IN the collection.
    As well, when I started using FCPX a few weeks ago, my first encounter with Events and Projects caused me to stumble quite bit because those two words are often used interchageably in day to day conversation. It's especially confusing when I'm used to the old Final Cut terminology of bins and timeline. So I just call the Events the raw or original footage and the Projects the timeline or edited footage when I explain FCPX to anyone. If Apple used better labels for these items, it would be easier to get started in FCPX.

  • How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

    How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac. 

    Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
    In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
    You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

  • If I delete photos from "all images" will they delete in iPhoto ?

    I am looking for a way to delete unwanted photos from the HD.
    I have duplicates and superfluous photos all over the HD in various locations so I would like to delete them from whatever master location will clear them from the HD.

    Never make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - doing so will corrupt the iPhoto library and you will lose data
    This specifically included deleting photos from the all images display
    If you want to delete photos in the iPhoto library do it in iPhoto ONLY

  • Removing keyword from multiple images at the same time

    None of the documented methods seem to work for me.
    1     Select all the images. Go to Metadata > Remove Keyword [my keyword] - the keyword is only removed from the image that is selected in the batch - i.e the one that has the yellow border round it to show it's the active image.
    2     Select all the images, enter [my keyword] in the Add Keyword field when Keyword Controls is visible and press Shift + Enter - does the same thing as 1 above (removes it from the active image only).
    3     Select all the images, Shift Click on the keyword that I have in my Keyword Controls in the Control Bar - does the same things as 1 above.
    So all these methods, which are supposed to work, do not work for me. The removal of the keyword is only applied to the image that has the yellow border showing it to be the currently active image in the selected batch - the remaining selected imaged still retain the keyword. I can remove it "one at a a time" but it would be great if I could find a solution as to why this isn't working.
    Any ideas?
    If it helps, I'm running Aperture 3.1.3 in OS X 10.6.8.
    thanks

    Based on the frequency with which this trips up users, the Aperture team is going to have to add a much stronger visual indication that "Primary Only" is active.  Marching ants, anyone?  Or a pink selection marquee?
    At least in the Viewer when multiple Images are selected the thin white selection marquee is dropped when Primary Only is active.  There is no such change in the Browser.

  • How to copy keywords from one image to many in Bridge CS6 (workaround)

    I see a few questions about how to do this, but I didn't see this workaround (maybe it's even the workflow Adobe had in mind). Hope it helps others searching for this.
    To copy keywords from one photo, and then apply the same keywords to many, in Bridge CS6:
    Select one image that has the keywords you want to copy.
    Right-click and choose File Info...
    On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field. Select and copy the keywords you want (probably all).
    Click Cancel to exit without making accidental changes.
    Select the files you want to add the keywords to.
    Right-click and choose File Info...
    On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field.
    Click in it and paste your copied keywords.
    Click OK. Keywords are applied to all files. (NOTE: I think this replaces keywords, rather than adding to them).
    I'm using CS6 on OS X 10.6.8.

    Sara,
    Why wouldn't you just use a Windows .bat file with xcopy statements?  You could even schedule it to run with the Windows task scheduler.

  • I have two related keyword problems.  Some keywords get "broadcast" to every photo in an event.  It's almost impossible to delete these keywords from individual photos.  I select the keyword, hit delete and it reappears after a few seconds.

    I have two related problems with keywords in iphoto 11.  Sometimes, keywords get magically "broadcast" to every photo in an event or album.  It's difficult to delete these keywords.  If I select one and try to delete it it vanishes.  About half the time, it reappears again either in a couple of seconds or after I go to another photo and then return to the previous one.  When thios happens, I need to delete the keyword two or more times before it actually vanishes.  With several hundred photos in an event that all have a bad keyword, this is a tedious process.  I've tried rebuilding the library once, but with only the first (I think) option checked on the rebuild.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • E mail attachments that are deleted show up in all images or all documents; how can I prevent this form happening?

    e mail attachments that are deleted seem to still show up in the all images or all documents files; how do I keep this from happening?  If an attachment is deleted I don't want to continue to keep a copy anywhere.  Thanks.

    I know this is almost a year later but I have been searching for a solution to the same problem you had. How did you fix this issue? I can see that something pops up on this site right before a transition. Why does that happen and not show in the preview and how do you fix it? Any help is appreciated!

  • Easy way to remove a keyword from select images

    Is there an easy way to remove a keyword?
    I want to remove a single keyword from nearly 100 images that have multiple keywords. The single keyword I want to remove exists in other images that I don't want it removed from.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Create a keyword button set and then either use the menu option to remove that keyword or the shortcut key.

  • How best to copy keywords from one image to another?

    Hey everyone,
    I can't seem to find a good, obvious way in Bridge CS3 2.1 to copy just the keyword tags from one image to another.
    I realize that one possibility is to create a metadata template for the source image and apply that template to the destination image, but this would be a cumbersome & lame workflow IMHO.
    I also realize that Bridge allows loading and viewing many images simultaneously, and that the same set of keywords can then be applied en masse. I'm sure many users like this workflow, but I'm not one of them. For one thing, this approach is seriously not future-proof. What if the user goes out and takes more photos that fit into those same keyword-categories that were applied to the image group?
    It seems to me that Bridge should allow the user to right-click on the list of applied keywords (at the top of the keywords pane) and see a "copy keywords" command. And then the user should also be able to right-click on an image and see a "paste keywords" command.
    Comments appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Brad

    There are many arrows in the shape tool, or you can set the line tool to have an arrowhead in the tool options. You can copy/paste layers from one image to another, or drag a layer from the layers panel into the main image window of another image and then use the move tool to position it. You can also drag into the thumbnail in the photo bin, but you'll still need to bring the image up to adjust the positioning.

  • Can't add or remove a keyword from MULTIPLE images

    Hi:
    I've tried the trick of using SHIFT-RETURN (instead of RETURN) to REMOVE a keyword instead of adding it, after you type in the keyword in the Add Keyword box of the Keyword Controls window.
    However that only removes the keyword from the current active image:
    even if I have multiple images selected, only the current "active" image gets updated.
    (Using aperture 2.1.1 on mac os x 10.5.4.)
    Any pointers on what the problem might be?
    (UPDATE: same problem exists in reverse: trying to ADD keyword to multiple images using one of the keyword buttons, but only currently active image is updated, the other images in my selection are NOT updated with the new keyword.)
    Regards, Strathglass
    Message was edited by: strathglass

    Now that I discovered the problem also exists trying to ADD keywords, I was able to search for and find the answer in these fora:
    The solution:
    just had to select "Edit->Primary Only" so that the check mark went away from "Primary Only"!

  • How do i delte more than one image at a time from all images folder on iMac

    i have 7000 images in the my images folder, how can I delte them all at once?

    Click on one folder (if they are nested together in parent folder) and use Select All from Edit menu; then use Move To Trash from File menu. Then use Empty Trash from Finder menu. Same with single images if all of them are in one folder.
    Sometimes a folder may be where an application expects to put them, so if that's the case, be sure to leave an empty folder if its part of a system or application. There are times when ownership privilege or user permissions may be lacking, so you may not be able to move or trash them.
    Hopefully its not more complicated than this.
    Good luck & happy computing!
