Keyword problem

FirstName LastName

I'm trying to add a keyword to multiple images. I shift click on a cluster of images then go to my keyword library and click on the keyword I want applied to all the images. However only the first image is labeled with the keyword. I've done this multiple time thinking that perhaps I'd not selected all the images and so on. However, all the images I want labeled with the keyword are highlighted, the first one be bold and the rest of them less bold. When I click on the keyword it goes orange. But when I click on the second image in the sequence it does not contain the keyword. What am I overlooking? This should be simple. Thanks in advance for your help. Doug

    There is a very important option in C1 when working with several images, menu Image>Edit all selected. Also a big icon which you can customize to appear in the main tool bar:

    Note that the "bold" bordered image is called "primary variant" in the documentation, it is the one which is "more" selected than the other selected ones.

    If this option is enabled a click on a keyword in the keyword tool keyword library tool should appy it to all your selected images. Note the minus sign in a keyword if it is not assigned to all selected images.

    This option has effect on many actions in C1.

    "Edit all selected" option is a typical beginners 'headache' and it needs some time to get used to it (because it is not consistently available for all actions in C1, e.g. metadata entry), but it is a handy feature if you can keep your selection of images and just turn the option OFF if you want to do an action on the primary (bold) image only, or ON if you want to affect all selected.

    “Beginners headache” indeed. Thank you so much for your helpful response, BeO. You’ve gone to length to help me and I appreciate it. Best, Doug
