Hi, For keywording, my typical first step would be to have a look at the standard photo categories (Example given below taken form www.shutterstock.com homepage) to enter as "generic keywords" before entering the "photo specific keywords". For the generic keywords, the only asssistance I have in LR is "Keyword Set". But I find the no. of cells it has only 09 which is limited. According to the below list, if I have at least 30 cells I could easily visit the relevant Keyword Set and then select the appropriate categories from it at once.Is there any way I could increase that or how do I make a request to Adobe regarding this? The standard categories I found in Shutterstock.com: AbstractAnimals/WildlifeThe ArtsBackgrounds/TexturesBeauty/FashionBuildings/LandmarksBusiness/FinanceCelebritiesEditorialEducationFood and DrinkHealthcare/MedicalHolidaysIllustrations/Clip-ArtIndustrialInteriorsMiscellaneousModel Released OnlyNatureObjectsParks/OutdoorPeopleReligionScienceSigns/SymbolsSports/RecreationTechnologyTransportationVectorsVintageThanksDhammika Heenpella

    This would be a huge help to me. I realize they were made to work with the numerical shortcuts, but when I'm tagging clips one by one in loupe view, I use the keyboard and mouse.

    If there was a setting to add more cells or even let it expand as you minimize other pallets, it would making tagging a lot easier.

      I'd like the ability to have more than nine keywords in a Keyword Set in Lightroom. The limit is very restrictive, especially when you're labelling shots for stock libraries.

        Is there any way of creating a Keyword Set with more than nine entries in Lightroom?

          This would be useful. There is also a suggestion to make keywording it's own module which I think would good. Please search the topics and add your vote to any of the proposals that you support.

          Dhammika, you just have made the request to Adobe - they're reading this forum and other users can also vote on ideas that they'd like to see.

          At the moment, the number of cells (9) is linked to their keyboard shortcuts (Alt 1-9 / Opt 1-9), I have regularly heard requests for additional cells for mouse-bound users, so it has my support. I'd find it useful myself.
