Synonyms: When you create a new keyword or edit an existing one, you have
the option to include synonyms for the word. Synonyms are words that mean
the same thing as the main keyword. On a case-by-case basis, you'll have to
decide whether it's better to add a synonym or make a separate keyword. For
example, the keyword “Autumn” could have the synonym “Fall”. h is is likely
more ei cient than setting up “Fall” as its own keyword. “Vacation” could have
the synonym “Holiday”, and so on. Of course, you could also have a second entry
for Holiday in a dif erent, more generic context. Lightroom uses synonyms when
generating suggestion lists.

Include on Export: keywords that have this box checked will become embedded
in all photos it's applied to when those photos are exported. h is includes Web
galleries and i les made with the Print to jpg command in the Print module.

If this box is not checked, the keyword will not be included when the photo
is exported. h is feature is very useful when you're using keyword hierarchies
for internal organization but don't want certain keywords to be exported (see
below). For example, I have a keyword called “Geographic Locations”, under
which are nested keywords for many specii c regions and countries around the
world. I want the specii c place names to be included on export, but not the
“Geographic Locations” tag.

Export containing keywords: if a keyword is nested in a hierarchy, this option
determines whether or not the parent (upper-level) keywords will be included on
export.

Export synonyms: determines whether or not a keyword's synonyms will be
included on export.

Add to Selected Photos: does just that; if photos are selected, they will instantly
have the keyword applied when it is created or edited.

Renaming keywords
To change a keyword, right-click or control+click on it, and from the popup
menu choose Rename. h is opens the Edit box with the name highlighted. Type
in the new name for the keyword, and when you're done, press Return or Enter.
All photos containing that keyword will be updated.

Deleting keywords
Deleting a keyword from the catalog will also remove it from any photos to
which it was applied. Right-click or control+click on the keyword, and select
Delete… from the popup menu. Lightroom will prompt you with a warning.
Click Delete to accept.
