Import and export keywords
Importing and exporting keywords lets you share the keyword tags you created to identify photos. For example,
keywords can be exported from one catalog and imported into another catalog on the same or a different computer.
You can also import keywords from other applications, such as Adobe Bridge 2.1.
Exporting keywords writes the keyword tags to a text file. When you create or edit keyword tags, you can specify
whether to include them during the export. When you import keywords from a text file, they become keyword tags
in the catalog and appear in the Keyword Tags panel.
❖
In the Library module, do any of the following:
• To import keywords into the catalog, choose Metadata > Import Keywords, navigate to and select the text file or
catalog file containing keywords, and then click Open (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS).
• To export all exportable keywords from the catalog, choose Metadata > Export keywords, select a location for the
keywords file, and then click Save.
