Photoshop cc keywords

[Paul D Wenlock]

Hi guys

I have an extensive list of keywords on in Photoshop cc on my iMac and as I have now used my second licence on a MacBook Pro. Is there any easy way to transfer or sync the list of keywords between devices?

Thanks in anticipation

Paul

You do this through Bridge CC, a free but separate download.

Does this still work for Bridge 2024?

"This" - an export of the keywords as a text list from Adobe Bridge- Yes!

Click on the 'hamburger' icon on the Keywords tab-

What I meant by "this" was the copying of the xml file.  Does that still work?

Photoshop keywords entered via File > File Info are not Bridge keywords, these are different programs. They both write keywords to your files, but the keywords are stored in different places.

Exporting and importing Bridge keywords as plain text version is the "best" way, with the XML being the backup method. Importing the plain text version creates the XML in Bridge.

As long as you manage to transfer using one of the two methods in Bridge, then all is good.
