Keywords in iPhoto
Are keywords worth it?
One of the features of iPhoto (particularly after
version 1), is the ability to assign keywords to individual photos. If you keep
up with your photo imports, keywords are extremely powerful tool for managing
photos. The ability to select a persons name and then have all photos in the
library with that person in the scene will appear. Very handy
feature.
However, if you're like me,
you're limited by the way keywords work. I find myself needing to categorize
keywords; People, Places, Things, Events, etc. Unfortunately, there is no way
to manage the keyword list itself. So, if I create a keyword out of order, I'm
stuck or I have to remove that keyword from all the photos and recreate the
keyword. Too much effort.
Despite
this problem, I think the keywords are worth it.
