Add Metadata To Multiple Images?

BobRockefeller
Is there a way to add metadata to multiple images?

For example, if I'd like to add a couple of keywords and a color tag, is there a way? What I tried was selecting a group of images and attempting to apply a color tag to one, expecting it to be applied to all. But it was only applied to the one.

    Bob,

    There a control to toggle between "Edit Primary" and "Edit All Selected".

    Set that to "Edit All selected" and Colour coding will be added to all on one attempt.

    Likewise for keywords BUT it's slightly different (On Windows so I assume also on Mac).

    If you have previously used the Keyword in the set you are editing open up the Meta data window until you can see the keyword you want to apply. Select all the images you want it to apply to. Make sure "Edit All Selected" is ON. Then drag some part of the selection onto the Keyword in the metadate window and all will be updated. Repeat for second and subsequent keywords.

    If you need to create a new Keyword first, add it to one Image in the normal way. It will now be available for the rest of the images that you can select as a group and drag over as before.

    HTH.

    Hmmm.

    I have Edit All Selected Variants... set. But when I change the color tag on one, the others don't get that tag.

    In the Library Tool Tab You can drag and drop all the concerned variants onto the keyword, color tag...
