Hi,

I have two questions when I enter keywords in the keyword list.

1.Should I put a comma or a comma and space when seperating the keywords?

E.g: paris, street photography or paris,street photography

2.If I enter a phrase in keyword, should I have a space to seperate the words in the phrase or not?

E.g: streetphotography or street photography?

Please advise. Thank you!

It doesn't matter. Spaces are ignored. I use a comma and a space because it's easier to view this way. For keyword phrases things are a little different. Lightroom sees each word in the phrase as a separate keyword during searches, so if you use 'street photography' then these images will also be found if you search for Keyword <contains words> 'street' in a smart collection, for example.
