Metadata using AI

[RALPH_L]

This is the second post I have made regarding this subject. I feel it is important to bring it to your attention again.
If you are struggling with the metadata for your assets Microsoft and Google AI can take over the job for you. I have had very good results using AI to assist me in assigning descriptive titles and keywords to my photos.

Important is the prompt that you submit to AI. Tell the AI what job it has, what you want and the guidelines it needs to follow. The prompt that I use (sorry, my prompt is my secret) is almost a full page of written instructions defining the results I desire. To get you started here is an example promt:

You are either an editor for a publication, a consumer purchasing wallart or a webdesigner. In all cases, you need to search the Adobe Stock database for the appropriate image to meet your individual needs.   

Analyze all images that I upload and provide a descriptive Title and a comprehensive list of relevant Keywords, optimized for search in Adobe Stock. The keywords should be in a comma seperated list. 
In generating this metadata, use the guidelines that Adobe has published for contributors. In addition to the Adobe guidelines, the following guidelines must be followed:

(List all of your additional requirements. For instance title size. Using keywords in the title. Important factors to use (location, latin names, etc.) Define your output as much as possible to suit your desires.)

Here are the results of the above prompt without addional guidelines:

Use whatever sells more assets for you.

I typically write what I see based on order of visual importance.  For example, "Dramatically lit costal cliff & seascape contrasted by golden hilltop grasses, dark storm clouds overhead, and a seagull in mid-flight."

However you describe it, it's a very striking & beautiful image!
