Tags and numbers

[Dustin5C46]

When I upload a photo to submit for consideration (before I even add title and keywords) there is a tag icon and number below the photo.  The number varies, 0, 12, 20, 22, 25.  What does the tag and numbers represent?  Thanks for your response(s)

If  you have added keywords in Lightroom, those keywords are carried over into Adobe Stock if you Publish your images to Adobe Stock from within LR. You can choose to keep those keywords, or replace them with those suggested by Adobe. I find that the bot is pretty good at suggesting appropriate keywords, which I review and supplement before submitting the image for review.

The artificial intelligence behind the suggestions is really great. However, keywords that do not apply must be deleted. Example: With cats, the AI often shows "dog" as a keyword, quite down the list. Do not try to accept this just because it is in the suggestion list. It only frustrates the user in the end and your image may be penalized by the search engine.

I agree. Sometimes the bot will suggest "Italy" or some other completely wrong location. Of course, I delete those. I've been working on some horse images, and the bot suggests "mare", "stallion", "colt" and "foal". Obviously, it can't be all of those simultaneously, so I delete the incorrect ones. In general, it does save a LOT of typing and makes the keywording process much faster.
