wordroom plugin by image

Has anyone here ever used this plugin? Any comments or advice on it. 

It sounds like a pretty good way to add keywords in light room and I'm thinking about trying it but have never heard of the developer or app before.

thanks,

Have never used, so cannot rate its practical use. It looks very interesting.

What does it cost? (Try for "Free"- nothing about price on the websites!)

Looks good for 'stock' photographers, or anyone wanting their images to be found by keywords on internet sites.

Seems to be 'overkill' for someone like me- just a 'small-time' amateur hobbyist.

I find that the panels- [Keyword Suggestions] and [Keyword Set]-Presets are sufficient for me.

Interested to hear other comments also.

See here for a list of similar plugins and services:

There are two main categories of use:

- careful keywording of smaller numbers of photos, typically to send to a stock agency.

- searching large catalogs without needing to manually keyword.

The list calls out which plugin is best for which use.  Wordroom is targeted to careful keywording for stock agencies.

John-

Many thanks. They have a trial copy but wanted a little comfort knowing that some other LR users have heard of thema and/or tried it. That's as much as I can hope for. I'm going to give it a try and see how it works for some stock photos that i've wanted to upload but cringe at the thought of laborious keywording. 

cheers,

Thanks, Rob. I'm going to give it a try for some stock uploads....just can't stand doing it manually 🙂

Rob-

I'm probably more small time than you !   I want to get my feet wet in stock photos and I tried but could not stand the amount of time it took to manually keyword each image, so I pretty much stopped uploading quite a while ago, but it is just so enticing and I keep thinking about it. If this really can automate the process,  I'm on board...still in a small way.

The price is Free for the 12, 000 words or less a month. If I ever need more than that, I've been spending too much time uploading instead of shooting LOL

thanks again
