Hi Shel In PS It's actually really easy as you can modify which metadata fields are visible. Using the CS Browser I use the Description field to... Well, describe the image(s) and then add on the appropriate keywords. Once keywords have been entered once they're available all the time (using that PS profile) so it's just a matter of ticking the boxes. I like the fact that all this info is embedded in the image and is quite independent of whatever image management software I use*. Still, I've only been fully digital for a month, so I'm open to any image management suggestions... Cheers, Simon

Holy Crap! I went to the File Info (IPTC) in PS and there is a LOT of information requested. I'm sure that not all is required, but there's no way I'm going to start adding all that information (or even a good portion of it) to every photo. That's just too much time and work. Do people really spend that much time and add that much information to all their photos? Perhaps there's a way to add the info to several photos at once ... Thanks for the information, though.
