Lightroom Keywords 101 & Mobile Photography Weekly

In this episode of TheFIX, host Seán Duggan delves into working with keywords in Lightroom. We begin from a basic, new user starting point and explain how you can add keywords when importing images, as well as adding additional, more specific keywords once the photos have been imported to your image catalog. We take a look at the Keywording and Keywords List panels in the Library module and explore ways you can use Keyword Sets to organize your keywords into logical groups based on content and the type of keywords you create.  We also shine a spotlight on the smart collection "Without Keywords" that shows you all the images in your catalog that are in want of some keyword loving, and share the "while I'm in here" keywording strategy for making the most of the time you spend exploring image folders in Lightroom. Also in this episode is the new Book Giveaway sponsored by Rocky Nook, and Seán shares news about his new weekly series on Lynda.com, Mobile Photography Weekly.
