Adobe Lightroom Keyword Libraries



If you take photographs of animals and use Lightroom, you will probably be interested in tagging or keywording accurate species information to your photos. The idea is you add the keyword of the bird species to an image, and Lightroom adds the family, scientific and international names to your keywords when you export your photo. So, if you were to add "Peregrine Falcon" to your photo then export it, the keywords will contain "Falconidae, Falco peregrinus, Caracaras and Falcons, Peregrine Falcon".

The All Species bird list makes use of the International Ornithological Union's World Bird List available at  www.worldbirdnames.org,
all other lists make use of the resources of Wikipedia.

IMPORTANT: Please back-up your Lightroom database before importing these keywords, just to be on the safe side.

1. Download the zip file you require.

2. Unzip the text file into a folder on your computer, e.g. My Documents.

3. Open Lightroom, select the Library module, then, from the menu select 'Metadata\Import Keywords...'

4. Navigate to where you unzipped the keyword file, select it and press 'Open'.

5. After the import has finished you will have a top-level keyword list (e.g. 'Australian Birds by family') - expand this to see all the species organised by family.
