a keyword button. The control bar can hold up to 20 keyword buttons. To remove a keyword
applied by clicking a button, press Option-Shift and the button’s corresponding number key.

you type it. If the Keywords HUD is locked, you are asked whether you want to unlock the
Keywords HUD and add the keyword to the keyword library, or not add the keyword to the
photo. To remove a keyword you’ve just applied, type the keyword again and press Shift-
Return. Keywords removed using the keyword field are not removed from the Keywords HUD.
