Hi Gang -

New kid on the block here. How do you edit the keywords on a batch of photos? I usually add keywords in Lightroom and export the photos with them.
Looks like you can only edit the keywords when you have only one image selected.
I am missing something very obvious?

Thanks,
Gabi

Hi Gabi,

You will need to reshuffle the order of keywords individually when you index your files with Lightroom. I recommend you either keyword directly in the contributor portal in order or if you use Adobe Bridge, the keywords will stay in the order you added them.

Hi, I too use Lightroom for keywording which is very disappointing. Shame you Adobe for not having one SOP over all of your products. After upload images to Adobe stock, I choose one image that is similar to other images. I correct the keywords and keyword sorting for this image. I then copy the keywords from the textbox on the right. I then select all of the other images that should have the same keyword order. I paste the copied keywords in the text box. Then I deselect the selected images. The copied keywords and keyword order are maintained for all images that were selected. I then can make individual corrections and submit the images.

I hope this helps.

    I agree with @RALPH_L that there should be a Lightroom solution that works. But that's not helping @Markus Kösel with his question.

     

    To answer Markus' question: it still works as described (comma and semicolon):

    Hi guys, thank you for your help, though i guess we are not talking about the same dialog. Your screenshots look different from what i see. I tested on the portfolio page (chrome & firefox) with an accepted image (https://contributor.stock.adobe.com/de/portfolio)

    Thanks Mat -

    Ugh - that's a pain. Is there a way to add a comma delimited keyword file in the portal?

    Thanks,Gabi

    You can paste all of your keywords separated by a comma or semi-colon in one keyword box. Once done, hit the tab key and that will distribute them to their own unique box.
