Lightroom Tip - Key-wording Partially Key-worded Image Sets
An easy way to be sure that all of the images are key-worded correctly is to look for the asterisk (*) symbol following a keyword in the keyword Tag window.
In the example above all
of the thumbnails have been selected and a summary of
the keywords which have been used is shown in the
bottom right Keyword Tags box.
Note that there is an asterisk (*) following all of
the keywords except the word Devon.
What this is telling us?
a) all of the images have been tagged with Devon
b) keywords which are followed by an
asterisk have been applied to only a selection of the
images.
So how do you quickly apply the keywords to the whole
selection?
Simple. Just select the asterisk for each keyword
that you want to apply. Delete the asterisk and press
Return.
This applies the keyword to the whole selection of
images.
This is very useful in situations such as when you
want to mark a whole set of images as being shot in a
specific location.
