Viewing by keyword

I have spent some time creating a keyword system for 15000 photos of wildlife including many sub-keywords (eg birds - eagles - bateleur). This makes tagging the keywords fairly easy. Is there any way of using the same system for searching quickly; the only way Bridge seems to provide is a long alphabetical list using filter which is actually not at all useful. And the 'right-click, find...' option is much slower and not as useful for me as the filter option.
Thanks
Richard

Like Curt says, but after all this work make sure you have a proper back up of your keyword list. Use the tiny little menu icon top right in metadata panel and choose export to create a copy of your list so you can always revert to it using import in case something bad happens.
And with those keywords written to the files in the IPTC many other applications (or clients) can read and search those keywords

  • Viewing by keyword in Aperture

    Hello everyone, I'm the new proud parent of a 17" Macbook Pro and I've been playing around with Aperture quite a bit. I've imported my photos and have been tagging them, which is really cool!
    I've looked through the help guides a lot, which are incredibly helpful! One thing I can't find an exact answer for is this: How do I view images by keyword? Say I have 45 photos tagged with "people" and I just want to view those?
    Thanks so much,
    Jordan

    There are multiple ways. A few of the ways are the following.
    While in the project you would like to search:
    In the search box type in the keyword you are looking for.
    To see a list of used keywords and select from them do the following:
    Highlight the Project you would like to look in.
    Type "command F"
    Click Keyword checkbox
    Click the keyword you are looking for.
    Instead of "Command F" you could click on the magnifying glass which is next to the search box and then continue from there.

  • Lighttable View mode, Keyword Sets for Import

    1. I'd be nice if we could have some sort of "Lighttable View" mode for the Library module. It would be similar to the Survey Mode, but you can move the photos around on the screen and sort or group them to your liking. E.g., after photographing a demo you could put the shots of the masses in one corner, photos of the police in another etc., the pictures still being double-clickable of course. This way choosing your keepers would become easier I think. It would be nice if Lightroom saved the arrangement, too.
    2. I'd like to see Keyword sets for the Import dialog. E.g. every weekend I need the set "soccer, men's, 2009/2010, AAA league". To have presets like this would make it even easier to work with Lightroom

    Right
    1)
    As a professional photographer I need a lighttable as there is one in "Apple´s Aperture".
    We need a possibility to arrange photos easily and quiclkly and set a aperture to some of thenm right at the shooting set, to demonstrate the
    client how the different photos/locations could be arranged and how they could match together later in the magazine etc.
    This is not a toy feature. Apple understood, that it is a feature we need to have to brainstorm
    right at the set or at home. And this feature sometimes creates right at the set new ideas or prevent
    failures.
    So please Adobe, let there be a "real lighttable" in the next Lightroom version.
    Humans just don´t think in grid mode.

  • Why are keywords not being shown in the Browser Grid View

    Hi,
    All the tutorials and manuals seem to have screenshots showing the browser grid view images with keywords at the bottom of the image. Now matter what i try i cannot get them to show up. Here are some of the things I've tried/observed.
    - in the split view and viewer views the keywords show up as expected
    - used the "browser metadata overlays" option (bottom right) to switch the browser between "show metadata" and "switch to basic view"
    - used the "browser metadata overlays" edit option to confirm that both basic and standard overlays/views are configured to show keywords (ie. keyword is in the list on the right)
    - i can see labels (red, green etc) in the browser grid view
    - quit, deleted all my library preferences, restarted aperture
    Are you seeing keywords in the browser view? Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
    Also note I imported my library from iPhoto.
    Cheers
    Oliver

    Hi i dont have primary checked heres what ive done
    Hi thank youve tried editing all the basic and extended metadata options and so far i have managed to get the key words to show up on one photo at a time with a colour label.
    To do this i have to go to the metadata tab on the left add a custom field to the general tab called it keywords to keep things simple lol.
    This is the only way of getting my keyword to appear below the photo
    However when i try and tag all the photos in the project with the same keyword and label it only tags the last one in the project ive held down cmd /option /ctrl nothing / some of these just tag one random picture with the metadata
    i thank you guys in advance for your help

  • Keywords do not appear in view

    I am using iphoto'11 (have upgraded since iphoto'08.
    I use to be able to set "view" with keywords. The keywords would show at bottom of each photo.
    In iphoto'11 I no longer can view based on keywords. I can perform a search of a tagged photo (keyword) but the selection under VIEW which shows keywords as an option, doesn't do anything.

    The keywords have been moved to the Info tray at the right.
    Click to view full size
    You can send a request to move them back to under the thumbnail to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Viewing most used keyword tags in Lightroom

    My department is making an overhaul on our keyword usage and we want to figure out which keyword tags have been used the most and which ones are rare and uncommon. Is there a way to export a spreadsheet and/or view the keyword statistics?
    We are using Lightroom 4 - thanks!

    The Reportamus plugin may be another step in the right direction:

    It outputs keyword usage statistics to a log file, and the clipboard...

  • Viewing Aperture metadata in Microsoft Windows XP

    I shoot stills for the Royal Flying Doctor Service here in Australia. They use the photos in Windows XP. We cannot find a way for them to view the keyword metadata I've added in Aperture 2.1
    Whilst details of the camera and exposure come up when viewing on XP's desktop windows (in "details" view), the caption or keyword fields are empty.
    I know it's not something that Aperture's not doing; if we open the same JPEG file in PhotoShop on their computers, it can read the metadata just fine, including keywords and captions.
    Also, doing a search (a la SpotLight on OSX 10.5) in Windows for particular metadata tags I've created turns up nothing.
    I presume it may be a Microsoft issue, but if anyone has any suggestions about how to get my keywords across to XP so they're viewable via Details View of a desktop window, or XP's inbuilt photo viewer, I'd be most grateful!
    Adam

    We've only tried JPEGs William. Are TIFFs more compatible where metadata is concerned do you reckon?

  • Writing Keywords to file

    Are catalog categories and sub categories written to photo file or just key words?   When looking at a catalogue hierarcy how do I know what is a key word and not a category or sub category?

    After I realized that the organizer information is independent of the photo file (unless written), I wrote the keywords to the photo files and then used an EXIF viewer to view the keywords. I found some the organizer entries were not written to the file.  For example under Event I created Christmas and under Christmas created Christmas 2012.  Christmas 2012 was written to the photo file but Event and Christmas were not.   The problem is that I have to look at various photos to figure out what is written and what is not.  I have not been able to find a way to examine the hierarchy itself and see if an entry is a keyword.   I may not need Christmas but want to make sure information I need will be written to the file.

  • ABAP keyword documentation not displayed

    Hello all,
    I have an ECC 6 IDES system installed with SPS 14 on it. I want to view ABAP keyword documentation through SE38 --> Utilities --> Keyword documentation , But nothing is being displayed. The control brings me back to the same screen. However, ABAPHELP , ABAPDOCU tcodes work fine.
    Do we need to explicitly configure the ABAP keyword documentation?
    My SAP GUI is 710 with latest patch applied.
    Please help me resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Shahid Khadri.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. I´m on SAP_ABA level 13. We have two sap systems here, MCC and MQA (on this server abap keyword documentation is not displayed). MCC does work properly and works on SAP_ABA level 13. So I guess the error can´t be from not patching the system to a later SAP_ABA level.
    Any other ideas? Slowly I´m running dry of ideas.

  • Rounded Corners in Grid View

    Seriously someone please tell me how to get rid of these rounded corners in grid view. I can handle a subtle curve on the corners but these are 32x32 pixel curves on every corners. Any bigger and I'll be browsing album artwork circles in grid view. The white background is annoying enough but this is about to make me ditch the program.

    What I propose is the bottom of each thumbnail. Because the size of the thumbnail is variable mixed, possibly, with a 3 or 4 line word wrap this space would be more then enough for many users. Alternately, a new grid view with one photo on the left side coupled with extensive metadata on the right would enable quick views of keywords/metadata. Other programs such as acdsee pro have implemented similar functionality which I have found extremely valuable. The ability, at quick glance, to see how photos have been tag will greatly increase the efficiency of tagging. I agree that many users may find the function limiting, but they dont have to use it.

  • How to copy iPhoto keywords from one library to another

    I have over 30 iPhoto Libraries.  Managing them is great using iPhoto Library, but keyword management is awful (if iPLM has a way I haven't found it).  I would like to know how to copy keywords from one library to another.  It's a pain to have to continually doing manual setup.
    In advance, THANKS!

    With that many photos you might consider using one of the high end DAM (digital asset management) applications.  I use Media Pro 1. It uses catalogs of thumbnails that are linked to the photos on your hard drive, CDs or wherever.  A single catalog can hold 250,000 images.  It uses Catalog Sets like Events in iPhoto.  There are Categories which are like albums in iPhoto.  Those and Catalog Sets are virtual.  You can batch rename files once in the catalog either by date or text.  The folders holding the photos on the hard drive can be set up auto update in the catalog so when you add a photo to the folder it will appear in the catalog. You can add keywords, hierarchical keywords, descriptions, etc. and write them back to the original file. 
    It has some built in editing capability and versioning capability. Clicking on a keyword will display all photos with that keyword quickly.  Searches can be made across multiple catalogs and have the results displayed in a new catalog.
    I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, etc. The catalogs can be viewed and keywords, descriptions added, etc. without the original files being available.  You just can't do any editing, slideshows or anything that requires the full sized file.

  • How to Overwrite Keywords

    I just imported my library of photos into Lightroom and now I'm on a mission to correct the sins of the past.  One of those sins is that the keywords embedded into the photos themselves are in some cases Helter Skelter.  In other words, I'm not completely sure how they ended up with the keywords they did.  I now have the correct set of keywords and their hierarchy defined in Lightroom but when I Save Metadata Lightroom doesn't overwrite the complete set of keywords already in the files.  I end up with some of the trash from yesteryear.  What I'd like to make happen is completely overwrite the photo keywords with what I've defined in Lightroom but I've yet to figure out how to make that happen.  So, I hope some of you brainiacs can help me.
    TIA

    Thanks John.  One of the things I want to make sure is explain well is that the keywords, as displayed, in Lightroom are purrrrfect.  Unfortunately the same can't be said when I view the keywords in Windows Explorer.  In other words, even after I Save Metadata the "miscreant" keywords remain with the files.  So, at that point Lightroom and Windows Explorer are displaying different sets of keywords for the same photos.

  • Search keywords on a purchased app

    Ok, this is going to sound silly, but a few weeks ago I wanted to download this app but my iPhone didn't have the latest update that was required for that app, so I could not download.  Instead I downloaded a similar app that was listed in the same search results.  I have now updated my iPhone (and here comes the silly part...) and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of that app, or the phrase I used to search for it and cant find it in any other relevant searches.  So my dumb question is, is there any way to maybe view the keywords of the other app I did download and use them in my app store search so maybe I can get similar results to my original search and find the app I was looking for?  Also for future reference, is there any way to bookmark an app in the store so I wont have this problem again?  I know, its dumb and probably impossible, but doesn't hurt to ask right?

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Disappearing Keywords anyone?

    As though the other FCP X problems were not enough, I've been struggling recently with disappearing keywords.
    Sometimes, when I click on the thin blue line on a clip in thumbnail view, the keyword editor opens but there are (apparently) no keywords.
    However, after much anguish, I've discovered that the keywords have been there all along.
    Just click the revealing triangle to the left of the clip details in list view and your keywords will drop down into view. If you double-click the keywords here, they'll show up in the keyword editor.
    I presume this is yet another bug - can anyone else reproduce the problem of keywords not appearing when you click the thin blue line in thumbnail view?
    Happy days!
    Andy

    I should mention that when the keywords appeared in the event browser in list view, sometimes there were two sets of keywords for one clip (presumably because when I found them missing and added more, it just added another set).
    If you right click on one set of keywords and select remove all keywords, that's what you'll get - ALL the keywords for that clip will go.
    If you select one set of keywords and use the keyboard shortcut: ctrl + 0, only the selected set will go (even though ctrl + 0 is the shortcut indicated when you right click) - (another bug?) making it easy to weed-out the ones you don't want.
    What a mine of information I am today - I feel so worthy!
    Andy
    PS - Single-click on the keywords in the event browser list view, not double-click (sorry).

  • What's the difference between hierachical & flat view

    Continue to choose as many metadata categories and criteria as you like. Click the pop-up menu at the right side of any column header to add or remove the column, change the sort order, and switch between hierarchical and flat view.

    Keywords in Lightroom can be arranged hierarchically. Every time you create a new keyword, you have the option to either create it as a top-level keyword or as a sub-keyword for some other keyword. By creating sub-keywords you can produce multilevel hierarchy of keywords.
    For example, you can create top-level keywords "Places" and "Holidays". Then under "Places" you can add sub-keywords "USA", "Russia" and "Zanzibar". Now under "USA" you can create sub-keywords "California" and "Minnesota". And so on.
    Now, when it comes to viewing your keywords, you have two options:
    1) Hierarchical view: the keywords are displayed in accordance to the hierarchy you created. Firstly, only top level keywords are displayed ("Places" and "Holidays" in our example). You can expand any top-level keyword to see its sub-keywords, and so on. (In our example, expanding "Places" will display "USA", "Russia" and "Zanzibar" etc.)
    2) Flat view: all keywords are displayed in one single flat list. Any hierarchical relationships between keywords are ignored. (In out example, flat viuew will display a list containing "Places", "Holidays", "USA", "Russia", "Zanzibar", "California", "Minnesota" etc. in alphabetical order.)
