Femina Photo Art By Maggie

Key Words Generator

I used to go to a site where you put in a phrase and it popped out tons of keywords and synonyms. Does anyone have any idea what that might be?

Ah, Yuri beat me too it but for whatever reason, the link is not working.

Here is a working link.

I just added a video of me using it to show how quickly it works. This only works in Lightroom Classic and you don't leave Lightroom when using it...the keywords are automatically added to your image by AI as the tool analyzes a thumbnail of the image and assigns the keywords. No going to a website to copy and paste keywords.

The site Abbie links also offers a Lightroom keyword tool but personally I have not tried using it in a couple of years.

Cheers

Cool. I hate doing keywords, so mykeyworder is a great help that really worked for my two test words, Baltimore and Towson (local areas). Thanks.

I tried wordhippo and it failed the Baltimore and Towson tests rather badly. That's the one where I start getting keywords like Finland or Baltic Sea but nothing relevant to Baltimore. I tried a more challenging one, for the name of the city just north of here, Towson and got tow truck, toxemia, tow rope, etc....not even close.

I guess I will stick with mykeyworder.

I use both of them. Word Hippo may not be any good for place names, which I never need, but it is unsurpassed for leading to new potential keywords I might use for abstract images. For samples, try “bold”, “confusion”, and “light”, and notice that clicking on any of the result words will lead to a whole ‘nother set of words.

Doug I never knew mykeyworder did city names. I just tried it. Excellent!

 

Thank you everyone! My keywords is the one I used to use and found it to be fantastic!

 

Sometimes I need find photos that are similar to my art to make sure the keywords are specific enough. That is where this site comes in handy. I have it load 50 images using my search term & then you can select which images are most similar to your image for more exact keywords.

A thesaurus also works.

I have my concerns about using keyword programs designed to describe stock images.

I suspect that most of our customers are not art directors or otherwise engaged in the advertising industry and that is what stock imagery is geared towards.

I wish that Sean would provide us with monthly lists of keywords that customers use to search here.

That would give us a lot of insight into the way our customers think when shopping for art.

 

Abbie Shores

Yup, can imagine that... new person... sees keywords being searched for are landscape, mountain and sunshine

Has a picture of a dog and puts in landscape, mountain and sunshine becuse he wants it found.

Can't see it happening

They do that anyway.

It would be easy enough to put a paragraph on the top of the page explaining how to use and not use keywords

Alamy has a daily search term update page and doesn't have a very big keyword spamming problem.

It would certainly help people to locate JC's "Abilenes" more easily and in a way that might lead to people creating more images that customers are searching for and possibly not finding, which would increase sales for FAA in general.

I thought they controlled images uploaded

 

David Smith

4 Years Ago

Nope

They have file size minimums, the opposite of here, and they place limits on "similars" to try to stop people from uploading dozens of almost identical images because they have a 12FPS motor drive, but otherwise contributors can upload anything they want. They do have image QC in place on upload, but that's pre keywording.

I wait for the day when keywords will automatically populate with picture recognition..(Much in the way that voice recognition works)

 
 

Chuck De La Rosa

That as well as the one Don pointed out.

My keyworder seems to get the low hanging fruit for some locations that I use frequently, so it saves time doing them over and over. What it's not, however, is intuitive about what an image might mean or imply. It's quite easy to just copy the hints and run right past the 500 character limit on keywords, so it's mainly helpful for the easy stuff and not to be over-relied on, like how, if I'm posting New York pictures, I get tired of typing big apple, broadway, times square, etc.

I just started using keywordsready which is a free app. Just right click on an image in a webpage, like FAA, and it will analyze the image and copy the keywords. You edit the image and paste the keywords it generated and use the ones you want. It seems to work great, albeit in a very limited test.

Hi Abbie, but it's free?

 

Don Northup

It's free but you can make a donation. You can also pay to upgrade the Lightroom plugin.

I also find Alphabetizer very helpful to see what I've put in, add synonyms, and remove duplicates.

I may be late to these discussions but another helpful sight is Wordstream: https://www.wordstream.com/popular-keywords/photography-keywords

They also display counts as its goal is to make advertising easier.

Thank you for this tip. This will be a big help. I've now added mykeyworder as a plugin to Lightroom CC

 
 

How about keywords for original oil and watercolor painting reproduction... ?

wow, I must not know how to use these apps because I've never had any luck with them. They tend to provide about ten very basic keywords that I can think up myself without much effort. How many keywords, on average, do people think contributes to being found?

I would also appreciate if anyone can comment on how key wording differs on FAA compared to what you would embed in your image. For example, as I understand it, on FAA if we have a blue poppy flower, we should write blue, poppy, flower. Is this what you would embed in your image, or would you write the three words as a phrase?
