Title: EXIF Data Taking Away Keywords From Many Images Question
Post by: Leo Blanchette on June 30, 2009, 21:13

I have a LARGE amount of images saved with their EXIF data and keywords. Right now I'm using microsoft pro photo tools.

http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/tools.aspx (http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/tools.aspx)

I have to minus a certain keyword from all of the images at once, because doing so one at a time would be a serious use of time. How do you minus one particular keyword such as "orange" from all images selected?

If this is not doable through this software, what other suggestions are their? I have to process images in bulk because of the sheer amount of them.

Thanks,

Leo

Many way to do this at once:

1. Adobe Photoshop Bridge CS3 or CS4
2. Any serious DAM (first import images > Select All > Remove Keyword > Embed into original files).

for #2 the sequence might differ from DAM to DAM but the concept is that.

bye!

I do not know how MS tools work, but it would be strange if they save keywords in EXIF.
Assuming that the keywords are part of the image IPTC metadata, you can use the free version of ProStockMaster , applying the same set of keywords to any number of images.

If you are going to contribute to MicroStock then Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom are more likely to be the industry standard and a better choice of editing software.

If you can download a 30 day trail of lightroom, try before you buy, then this article may help.
