Fantastic info about nested keywords. I think this is one of the most fantastic keyword-courses that is posted on KZfaq. This is just what I needed from biology where one specific bird species are nested into birds that are vertebrates that are animals. But I did not know about this "will export"-function. Thank you, thank you. Maybe you should drop place/region/country as an examlpe, since there is specific metadata-fields for this type of information.

Thanks for this Wayne. Keywords in Lightroom are simple once you know about them but it is very difficult to find out what effect some of those checkboxes might have! When you have tens of thousands of pics, a misunderstanding could lead to a lot of heartache. This is the best explanation I have seen so far.

Dear Wayne, thank you for doing this tutorial. I am just a weekend warrior trying to organize my family photos and your video was simple, clear, and easy to understand. Will save me lots of time and frustration! Thank you.

Thank you very much for this informative video. I will be moving my massive keyword list into a much better and shorter hierarchal grouping to improve my organization.

I was scrolling through the youtube search looking for a tutorial on how to do the keywording, skipping the first 4 minutes I found the information I was looking for, thank you.

Extremely good and clearly explained Wayne. Thanks.

I'm creating a keywords list based on the 'Lightroom Keyword List Project'. I have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me with: 1. How would you categorize "things" that fall somewhat between "WHAT" and "WHERE"? For example, mountains and lakes. A mountain may be present in two photos taken from completely different locations, which seems redundant to label in each instance (and leads to my next question). Categorizing them as "WHAT" creates confusion for smaller items, such as a hot spring or geyser. These items can't be present in photos shot from elsewhere, but technically, you're not at a geyser, you're seeing one. 2. Can the same keyword exist in two different hierarchies?

Excellent video on setting up a keyword hierarchy. I never learned how to keyword properly on my old computer and my photos are a mess. I have a new computer now so I will take my time as I add my photos to the LR catalog. Thanks very much.

Excellent, thank you, you have been a great help

Excellent.Thank you.

Very helpful.

The best video for this specific purpose I've found. Thanks for making it ! : )

This is amazing keyword information. Thank you so much!!!

Excellent and well-described video.

Great video, thanks for making this! Headed to watch part 2 now .

Good stuff. thanks

I agree that taming your keyword list is essential, and what I looked for. I wonder why so many videoes of keywords still put location information in keywords. It is meant to be placed in other places of metadata (city, sublocation, country), and "aspect ratio" you will get from EXIF. But as I said, it is still more than enough keywords left to grow that list way too long. My problem is related to adding systematic hierachy to animals, birds, plants etc. so it was still good help

Some great concepts.

This was very helpful. I wonder how you would recommend organizing other "types" of words beyond places, things and people. Example - mood, or specific picture themes for abstract pics as an example.
