Keyword tool

Can anyone tell me of a tool that will let me add keywords and titles to my photos?

I only have a low powered computer that struggles with Adobe Bridge.

All I want to do is be able to set the directory where my images are, click on an image, add the keywords and title and click save.

 

Thanks 

Richard

    If your computer is too underpowered for Bridge, I can't imagine that it will work with Lightroom.

     

    What you would need is probably an IPTC Photo Metadata Editor. Check out this page: https://iptc.org/standards/photo-metadata/software-support/

    I edit and store all of my images in Lightroom Classic where I add basic keywords. LRC has a Publish Service that sends the images directly to my Adobe Stock Contributor account, where I can use the built-in keyword suggestion tool to add even more keywords. Then I just have to re-arrange them so that the 10 most important ones are at the top of the list.

    I dont think I could use lightroom classic as "I only have a low powered computer that struggles with Adobe Bridge."

    Do you have Photoshop or Lightroom? In Photoshop, you can go to File > File Info and enter your title and keywords there. The title should be added to the Description box. The downside to adding the keywords there (unless this has been changed) is that the keywords will be added in alphabetical order when you submit the asset. I'm sure Lightroom can do the same, but I don't use it for titles or keywords myself.
