What if I add some keywords in images already accepted and in portfolio?

What do you mean, what if?
If the image has not already had keyword relevancy, your new words may (or may not) start out at the top.
If the image has exising keyword relevancy, your new words may (or may not) start up in the middle or lower.
Any change won't show up until the next database update, probably some time the next day.
You'll just have to try it and see. Results don't seem to be consistent. Probably best only to do it if you forgot to add a really important keyword.

Thank you ShadySue.
Well, my concern was about possible issues with reviewers, but it seems from your words that there are no such problems.
The matter is:
I have a little portfolio in IS, less than 50% of which is in PP.
One day I added a relevant keyword to an accepted image: the day after that image popped out in TS. Yesterday I tried another images: approved, in portfolio at IS but not in PP. Today that image is in PP. It seems that the trick works, and maybe other contributors can force their images in PP in this way.
Perhaps modifying title or description works too, or just opening the image for editing
and saving without modification.

I thought I read something on a thread here that files were moving over.
I even had 13 files moved onto Getty at last, without doing anything to keywords.
Maybe they've just got the finger out.

That's interesting, could very well be on to something. About 30% missing but the most recent seems to have transferred so looks like an interface in place for current stuff. An update could easily trigger a transfer depending on how it's set up.

30% sounds about right for me too.

Out of curiosity tried updating keywords on a few that didn't get transferred - no joy.
