Apply keywords using the Keywords HUD
The Keywords HUD provides an efficient way to apply keywords to photos. You simply drag
keywords to any photo or selection of photos in the Viewer or Browser.
Keyword group
Keyword list
The Keywords HUD contains a predefined library of keywords that you can browse and search.
You can also add new keywords, remove keywords, and create keyword groups. For example,
if you added the keyword Fish to your list, you might want to add Angelfish, Dolphin, Tuna, and
Shark under the Fish keyword to further define your photos.
The Keywords HUD is automatically updated with any keywords you add. For example, when
you enter a new keyword in the Info inspector, that keyword also appears in the Keywords HUD.
When you change a keyword—by changing its spelling or capitalization, for example—the
keyword is updated on all photos that have that keyword assigned.
When entering a large group of keywords in the Keywords HUD, it’s not uncommon to make
spelling mistakes. It’s easy to modify existing keywords to fix the mistakes.
