In today’s video tutorial, Manfred Werner shares some tips for a crucial but often forgotten part of editing: Keywords.

Learn essential retouching and post production skills each Wednesday, right here on Orms Connect. Tutorial Wednesdays are brought to you by Manfred Werner.

In this video tutorial, I will show you a quick technique on how to get your image keyword ready.

We will start by opening Lightroom and browsing through the library module. We will then open the import dialogue, select our images and add our first keywords. Once we are done, we will import our images and scan through the timeline. After that, we will go back to our keyword adjustment panel and add more of our own custom keyword suggestions. Once we are finished, we will accept the changes and save our keyword preferences.

Quick reminder: Add keywords from the import module onwards, this will make your life easier.
