Chapter 11 Applying Keywords to Images 129
Applying Keywords Using Keyword Controls
and Keyword Presets
One way to apply keywords is to use the keyword controls located in the control bar.
You can add new keywords to images or apply preset keywords that are part of a
keyword group.
About the Keyword Controls in the Control Bar
The keyword controls are located at the right side of the control bar and are typically
shown by default. However, if there is not enough room on your screen (for example, if
the Adjustments Inspector and Metadata Inspector are shown), they are hidden.
To show the keyword controls in the control bar:
1 If necessary, to hide the Adjustments Inspector and Metadata Inspector, choose
Window > Hide Inspectors (or press I).
2 Choose Window > Show Keyword Controls (or press Shift-D).
 Keyword buttons: These buttons display the keyword presets assigned to the
keyboard shortcut combination Option and a number key (1 through 8) on the
keyboard. Press Option and a number key on the keyboard (not the numeric keypad)
to add the keyword preset to a selected image, or click a button. To remove all
keywords, press Shift-Option-9.
 Add Keyword field: Type a new keyword in this field to add it to a selected image.
If the Keywords HUD is locked, you are asked whether you want to unlock the
Keywords HUD and add the keyword to the keyword library, or not add the keyword
to the image.
 Keyword Preset Group pop-up menu: Use this to choose the keyword group you want
displayed. The first eight keywords in the group appear on the keyword buttons.
