122 Chapter 11 Applying Keywords to Images
Applying Keywords Using the Keywords HUD
Using the Keywords HUD to add keywords is the most versatile way to apply
keywords to images. The Keywords HUD contains a library of predefined keywords
that you can browse and search. You can also add your own keywords, as well as
remove keywords. The Keywords HUD is automatically updated with any keywords
you add. For example, when you enter a new keyword in the Metadata Inspector, that
keyword also appears in the Keywords HUD. When you change a keyword, for
example, by changing its spelling or capitalization, the keyword is updated on all
images that have that keyword assigned.
The Keywords HUD is available for use in the Browser in grid and list views, in the Light
Table, and in Full Screen mode. You can also use the Keywords HUD when working with
book albums in the Book Layout Editor (see Chapter 20, “Creating Books,” on page 193)
and when working with web gallery and web journal albums in the Webpage Editor
(see Chapter 19, “Creating Web Journals and Web Galleries,” on page 183).
