Hi,
How to you save the keywords in images according to your own order as photoshop or Lightroom re-arrange keywords in alphabetical order after saving/exporting images. I have been doing copy-paste from shutterstock but i want to save the keywords in metadata of images according to their priority and not in alphabetical order
is there any simple software/tool or we can do this in Photoshop/Lightroom as well ?

(ps- please note I am not talking about keywords searching tool. For that MSG keyword search tool is sufficient for me.)

Try IrfanView. This is what I use now that prostockmaster is no longer free.

Does it save keywords in their priority order as per photographer's liking ?
ps- i heard that it works with one image at a time ?
Would like to know about some more options. How is iTag ?

It saves the keywords in the order that I type them in. There is the option to have titles, descriptions, and keywords apply to all selected images.

Just downloaded it. Trying to find where to go to add title/description/keywords...

got it. But it seems that it does not over-write the new keywords rather keeps the same IPTC as earlier. though it can enter new IPTC onto a blank new image.. any bug !

Sadly irfanview is not saving my keywords in each edited image or either its buggy... i thought its good one. Please guys, tell me some other "reliable keyword saving tool"

I don't have IrfanView in front of me, but it has options on whether keywords should be overwritten or appended, maybe other options also.
