[QUOTE="nickt, post: 493265, member: 4923"] I've been lazy with photography in general. Miserable summer here, hot humid. Lots of home projects too. Thoroughly soaked my clothes most days. So I spent most of my spare time on the couch enjoying the air conditioning when not working my projects. So I know the feeling of not wanting to mess with things. Anyway, I like to add keywords in stages. It seems like less work. You can tag multiple pictures and apply keywords or use the spray tool to apply. I might tag a whole folder with something like 'lake', school', 'vacation', or a town name, etc. Whatever you can think of that applies to all. Then I break it down from there trying to group as many as possible for a given keyword. After tagging all with a general word, I might go back and add 'bird', 'bug' or people names. You can continue to tag in bulk even if previous key words are already applied, it won't overwrite previous words. So for something tagged 'lake', you can go back later and add 'duck' to a subset of those without affecting the previous words added. And lightroom remembers previous words you have used, so when you start to type the word it comes up as a suggestion. It goes really quick and doing it in waves makes it less tedious for me. Go for one general word, then rest, lol. Then add a few more words when you feel like it. Surprisingly, even one or two words can help you find things later. Once you get started, I think you will get more into it and maybe even enjoy it. I love being able to find stuff. [/QUOTE]
