Figure 5-19 Entering metadata Keywords. Keywords show up in the IPTCsection of the Metadata palette, but you cant enter or edit them t h e e y o u have to use the Keywords pal- ette. The Keywords palette contains individual keywords grouped into sets (representedby the folder icons).The default keywords and sets are pretty useless unless you know a lot of people called Juliusand Michael, but you can easily replace them with ones that are more useful for your purposes. To apply a keyword, select one or more images and then click in the column to the left of the keyword. A check mark appears in the column, and the File Browser writes the keyword to each files mnp sidecar file. To remove a keyword, select the images and then uncheck the checkmark. 3 Chapter 5: Its All About the Worknow 163 Deleting a keyword fmm the Keywords palette doesnt delete the key- word from any images to which it has been applied, it only deletes it from the palette. So I find that it makes sense to keep only keywords I know Ill use a lot stored in the palette. For keywords that apply only to the current session, I create them in a set calledTempand delete themwhen Im done, to keep the palette manageable. Keyword setslet you organize keywords, but they also offer avery useful functionality-they let you apply all the keywords in the set to selected images by clicking next to the set name rather than the keyword names. This is the only way to apply multiple keywords to a set simultaneously. When you click next to a keyword to apply it, the Fie Browser insists on writing the keyword to all the selected images before it will let you apply the next one. Hence the following tip. Tip: Sets Are Not Set in Stone. I keep an empty set calledTemp (though it could as easily be called Fred or whatever other name tickles your fancy) purely for the purposeof applying multiple keywords.When I want to apply multiple keywords to a set of images, I drag any existing keywords I want to use into theTemp set and create any new ones I want to apply inside the Temp set. Then I click beside the Temp set icon to apply all the keywords it currently contains to al the selected images--see Figure 5-20. l You can drag keywords into a set and add anyone-off keywords to the set, and then click beside the set name to apply all the keywords simultaneously to all selected images.164 Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS AU the work you do in the File Browser is aimed at setting things up to produce converted versions of your chosen raw images, with the correct Camera Raw settings to get the tone and color you want, and including all the metadata youve entered. Solets lookat this last stage of the workflow, actually converting your raw images.Processing Images When it comes to efficiency in converting raw images, actions are the key. I almost always convert raw images in batches using actions rather than simply opening them in Photoshop. But before I look at the various automated options, Ill list the methods for opening raw images manually from the Fie Browser. b Press Return (Mac) or Enter (Windows),double-click, or press Com- mand-0, to open the selected image or images in the Camera Raw dialog box. If you select multiple images, the first one will open in Camera Raw. Then when you click O to convert the image or Update K to write the settings to the images metadata, the second image will appear in Camera Raw, and so on. b Press Shift-Return (Mac)or Shif-Enter (Windows),Shift-double-click ...
