Selecting Images Using Keywords

I seem to be confused about how keywords are used to select the images in a library view.
Can I even use the "keywords tags" pallete of the Library to select the images that are displayed, or is it just going to show me what keywords apply to the image that is selected?
I would like, for example, to have displayed all the images that include say, the keywords "a" and "b" -- but I don't seem to have mastered the art of checking or unchecking keywords in order to use it to select the images I want displayed.
Is there a way to do that with the "keywords tags" pallette, or do I do that with the "find" pallete?
Thanks,
--PS

  • Select images using keywords and view slideshow...using what?

    I have a library full of jpeg images that were created either using the export command from LR or by editing in Br/Ps and then savedAs jpeg. Now I want to watch slideshows on my monitor (30" Apple HD Cinema Display). Now I have the following Dilemma:
    - I can start a Search Command in Bridge and narrow it down to exactly the images I want in my slide show. Then from the View menu select Slideshow. The IQ is terrible. True sharpness is only revealed when zooming in 100% but that's not the idea of a slide show.
    - I can also use Apple OS's (Tiger) built-in slide show and start it from the finder. That way I get high quality, fast dissolving slide shows, that are unfortunately limited to the first 100 images in the Finder view. However, in the Finder I cannot select my images using keywords and IPTC info.
    So could there be a simple solution to the problems I'm running into with Bridge?
    Or could there be a nice viewer for MacOS that features the search option I want and renders good images and dissolve option?
    Thanks.

    @Ann Shelbourne: Thanks for your reply. I'm hesitant to upgrade to CS4 at this point. That would mean my only option is to look for a jpeg viewer other than Adobe that can select images based on keywords and iptc data. Would you know one that does?
    @Ramon G Castaneda: I apologise for being an inexperienced forum visitor. I will take note of your advice and follow the posting instructions.
    I checked FAQ's both here and at Adobe, as well as the knowledge base. No results. I also searched the forum.
    My setup: MPB dual core Intel, 2GB RAM, 30GB free disk space. Adobe CS3, just updated to Bridge version 2.1.1.9. No improvement at all so far. According to Ann only CS4 will solve the problem.
    Thank you.

  • Search for images using Keywords Problem.

    1) In LR4, Search for images using Keywords (click on arrow next to Keyword).
    2) Select image, export to PS6, save as Tif.
    3) Tif retains all Keywords when it appears in LR
    4) Despite that, image does not show up in the same 'Search for images using Keywords'.
    Can anyone help with this, it is frustrating me!

    V. 4.1
    Thanks, I will try, but it seems to be an inconsistent problem.

  • OCR in selected image

    Hi All,
    I want to get text of selected image using acrobat inbuilt OCR functionality.
    Current functionality converts all images on selected pages in pdf document.
    I want text recognition runs limited to the selected image.

    Acrobat performs OCR on whole pages.

  • Dragging keywords from HUD to group of selected images suddenly not working.

    Have used this method for a long time but tonight it is not working?  Only drops keyword on a single image even though multiple images are selected.  Any ideas?

    You may have the "Primary only" flag selected, see this user tip:
                     Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?

  • How do I add keywords to my images using DW?

    How do I add keywords to my images using DW?

    Well, there's <meta> keywords, then there are "keywords", here's an example...
    <meta name="keywords" content="everything, you, can, pack, into, this, tag, doesn't, matter, what, or, if, it, makes, sense">
    ...is totally obsolete for the reason I hint at in that tag example itself. There was a time, long ago in the dark ages of web design, where the keywords meta was actually used to determine page content to some degree. Developers immediately took advantage of it and started cramming everything they could think of into the <meta>, even totally unrelated but popular search terms, in the hopes that it would affect their rankings. It did, for a time, until the search engines got smarter and started totally ignoring the tag all together.
    "Keywords" changed meaning after that. Now search engines actually look at your page content and determine what your page is about. Making keyword rich, relevant html text (not odd blocks of random coma separated text anymore) is one of the things (there are many pieces to Search Engine Optimization or SEO) that determines if someone finds you using a particular word or phrase.

  • How do I change the image used on an movie project icon? iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

    How do I change the image used on an movie project icon?
    iMovie seems to select an image at random from the images I imported.

    Not sure I understand how to use what you have posted. Here's what my init() looks like:
    public void init()
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    p=new Panel();
    p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
    callnowButtonURL = getURL(callnowButtonFilename);
    if (callnowButtonURL != null)
    callIcon = new ImageIcon(callnowButtonURL,"call");
    endcallButtonURL = getURL(endcallButtonFilename);
    if (endcallButtonURL != null)
    endIcon = new ImageIcon(endcallButtonURL);
    b=new JButton(callIcon);
    b.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(0,0,0,0));
    b.setBorderPainted(false);
    b.addActionListener(this);
    p.add(b);
    add(p,"Center");
    Now the ActionListener is basically:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if (mybool == false)
    <Perform actions here set mybool to true>
    Change JButton b to use EndIcon
    else
    <Perform actions here set mybool to false>
    Change JButton b to use CallIcon
    Can you clarify how to perform the action I require? You can have a couple of Dukes if you can help me sort this out.

    My iPad recently started to act up. I was using Google to find some information on birthday cakes and recipes. I selected 'images' but instead of the little thumbnails I got computer code. Lines and lines of the stuff. This only happened yesterday. The iPad was working perfectly up to then. I am having no other problems. Google images work fine on my iPhone and my Mac Book. I would be very grateful if somebody could help.

    The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
    To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

  • How to quickly reassign previously used keywords

    I'm using Adobe Bridge CS6.
    My problem is that I have something like 3000 images, in several folders, to apply keywords to, and the keywords happen to be the names of the people appearing in those photos, and I cannot find an easy way to reapply existing keyword assignments. Let me explain:
    Some photos will be a single person, others 2 or 3 in a shot, others maybe 6-8 people. And they appear in constantly changing configurations. For example, "John" may appear alone in photos 1-20, with "Peter" in photos 21-22, with "Sandy" and "Peter" in photos 23-30, "Peter" and "Sandy" alone without "John" in photos 31-70, and "John" by himself alone in photos 71-150, etc., with 500-1000 photos per folder. It gets really tedious when you have a group of 6-8 people that is seen occasionally or partially, interspersed with headshots of single individuals. While I have all of their names set up in a master keyword list, the master list itself has maybe 250 keywords in it, and it is painfully slow and tedious to either scroll up and down to the correct names, or to use the search box at the bottom of the keywords panel, each time the mix of persons in a photo changes. (The search is probably faster, but still slow.)
    What I would love to have is a panel that showed ONLY the keywords (names) that I've used for the current folder's photos, which would let me apply them to new photos with either a single click (hallelujah!) or maybe drag-and-drop. This is because the currently used keyword list, if it existed, would be so much shorter than the master list, so that all the necessary keywords would always be in view and easily accessible.
    What is maddenly irksome is that the currently assigned keywords appear almost within reach in the filter panel ... but alas, it is not possible to use that panel to assign those keywords to new photos.
    I don't know if what I'm hoping to do is even possible in the current version. But maybe it is, or maybe someone here has some advice to make the process less frustrating.

    What is maddenly irksome is that the currently assigned keywords appear almost within reach in the filter panel ... but alas, it is not possible to use that panel to assign those keywords to new photos.
    You can export your current keyword list as back up and create or import a temporarily dedicated shorter keyword list.
    But if you look at the metadata panel IPTC Core there is also the option to show the keywords applied to the image (if they don't show use the setting in Bridge Preferences Metadata Tab to select it to show)
    Drag and drop is not possible but copy past is an option. Using collections you can select the files you want to apply the same keywords to, and when your search result is complete select the file that has all the correct keywords, copy the complete line of keywords, select all and paste the info in the same line to apply al keywords in one go to all selected files.
    Is that about what you are looking for or am I completely misunderstanding your wish?

  • How to use keyword hierarchy?

    Hiya,
    In my Keywords HUD, I have created a hierarchical order of keywords, such as
    - Europe
    -- Ireland
    -- Germany
    - Prints
    -- A4
    -- 6x4
    If I want to assign the keyword "Ireland" to a bunch of photos, I select all these photos and drag the keyword from the HUD to the photos.
    What I am struggling with are 2 problems:
    - How do I browse interactively by keyword hierarchy? Can I select "Europe" as a keyword in order to see all photos being taken in Europe? Can I select "Gemany" afterwards in order to see the subset of photos being taken in Germany?
    - How do I create smart folders containing all photos being taken in Europe? If I take as a search criteria "IPTC > Keywords" and search for "Europe", I don't get any feedback, but if I search for "Ireland", I get all the photos being taken in Ireland.
    Does Aperture ignore the upper levels (e.g. "Europe", "Prints") for all its features?
    Is the hierarchy exclusively used for the presentation of keywords in the Keywords HUD?
    Thanks in advance for any feedback,
    Stephan

    Maybe I'm missing something, as I typically ask questions, not answer them, but doesn't this work for you?
    Either type Europe into the quick search section of the Search Panel or toggle open the "text" criteria and enter it there.
    That should find the images by the upper level keywords.
    You can narrow the search by selecting match "all" and adding more text items for upper level keywords, or by selecting lower level keywords from the keywords criteria section.
    The manual states that you can quick search multiple text items by separating them by commas, but that didn't seem to work for me. Aperture seems to treat upper level keywords as text, and they can be searched as such.
    Once the search is completed, click the create smart album, and you should have what you are looking for, I hope.
    Good Luck!

  • Can I sort the images used in a book's browser by the # of times used?

    I'm also producing a DVDSP slideshow of the event's (selected) photos not included in the book.
    Q2: Can I sort the images used in a book's browser by the # of times used?
    That way I don't have to search thru hundreds of photos. When used in a book, each photo gets a badge showing the # of times used. Can this badge be used in a sort?
    Or must I apply a keyword to the used (or unused) photos?
    Thanks.

    But if the file has been embedded, the file name is lost.

  • Using keywords for multiple folders

    I'm working with a photo archive consisiting of a large number of folders and subfolders. I'm wanting to use keywords to filter my images, but I'm finding that it's not possible unless I select a single folder containing images. Is there a way around this?
    For example can I just select my "Photos" folder and have it filter the images in all of the folders and sub folders contained within. I work at a university so I have folders within the folder "Photos" named things like "Academics" and within "Academics" I have folders for each academic field. Sometimes I'm just looking for a good shot of a professor in a classroom setting and don't really care which academic field it's from and this would be a huge help.

    I'm wanting to use keywords to filter my images, but I'm finding that it's not possible unless I select a single folder containing images. Is there a way around this?
    The quick search field top right in Bridge Window only works on the folder that Bridge is pointed to.
    What might be a better way for you would be the actual Find command (menu Edit/ Find or cmd + F on a Mac).
    This brings up a dialog with more options. At source you can select your main photo folder. Choose one or more criteria and check include subfolders.

  • Finding images with keyword tags in PE 12 Organizer

    I am experiencing difficulties while finding images with keyword tags.
    I am using the Organizer of Photoshop Element 12 (French version) and I think I follow the procedure described in “ADOBE ELEMENTS ORGANIZER Help and tutorials” (page 168 in the English version or alternatively 150 in the French one), i.e. :
    In the Keyword Tags panel, I click the ">" symbol of the keyword of which I want to know the relevant images
    Whatever the search option (Select either Hide Best Match Results Show/Hide Close Match Results, or Show/Hide Results That Do Not Match), I am not able to select and show only the Best Match Results.
    Please note also that the Tip
    To automatically display close matches after a search, choose Edit > Preferences > General, or Adobe Elements Organizer 11 > Preferences > General, and select Show Closely Matching Sets For Searches, and then click OK.
    does not seem to work with Adobe Elements Organizer 12

    Thks
    You are right, my problem is to select only the close matches.
    Based on your comment, I am afraid it’s one of the recurring problem in PE whatever the version (PE11 or PE12)

  • LR 3.2 crashes randomly when using keyword sorting

    Anyone else have this problem?   When I use the right arrow select to sort using keywords, LR crashes and shuts down.  Any suggestions on what to do to prevent this?

    When you use the "right-arrow" keyword filtering, Lightroom actually takes you to "All Photographs" and enables the Library filter with the keyword you have clicked selected in the filter. In other words, it's the Library filter that crashes your Lightroom, not the fact that you click the "right arrow".
    I've seen many threads reporting Library Filter crashes:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2986231?tstart=0#2986231
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954754#2954754
    This started in LR 3.0 and was not fixed in LR 3.2. No fixes or workarounds have been found by other users, but the bottom-line seems to be that some images have some corrupt metadata that the Library Filter cannot "swallow". Some users were able to use the filter in certain folders, but never in others (that presumably have pics with "bad" metadata).
    Try to enable the Library Filter with filtering by keywords in some of your top-level folders to check if it works in all/some/none.
    I would advice all users that can consistently reproduce Library Filter crashes, file bug reports and send their catalogs with a clear description of the problem and steps to reproduce to the Adobe team ([email protected]) for inspection and possibly future fixes.
