How do I search my portfolio to see if I have already posted a specific photo?

[cestes0001]

I have a number of photos that I'd like to post, but I don't want to post them if they are already online.  Is there a way I can search keywords of the photos in my portfolio to see if the photo in qestion pops up?

Open your public profile and there you can search by keywords.

Though you can search as indicated above, it can be time consuming. I add the keywords "Adobe Stock" in Lightroom Classic to every image I submit and also add a green label. In that way, I can quickly determine which images in my LRC Catalog have been submitted.

In addition, I configure the keyword as not exportable, so that it does not show up on exported images.

I didn't even know that was possible! I will definitely implement this suggestion, though I usually do extensive editing to my keywords after uploading anyway...

A little bit of Lightroom (Classic) class:

Library module → Keyword List:

Enter part of the keyword in the search box, if you have, like me, an uncountable number of keywords.

Hove over the Keyword: Right Mouse button (on Windows)→Edit Keyword Tag

Get rid of "Include on Export"

As a side note: you can also define synonyms: Like for the keyword "tiger", you could add as synonym "cat" and "stripes" and "carnivore". When you set "Export synonyms", they will be part of the exported EXIF data. I use that for multilanguage keywords, by putting English as the main Keyword, other languages as synonyms.
