Keywords - faster method

[reemas]

I'm wondering how you guys add various keywords to random photos? Whats the fastest way? Page 165-166 of The DAM Book mentions going through the file info dialog in Bridge, but that seems tedious for many photos.

Is there a faster way in iView or in Bridge?

I use catalog sets to organize photos rather than using keywords. Since they can be organized hierarchically, it's a much more useful tool.

Generally, I only create keywords (after the bulk ones I put in on original ingestion with Bridge) if there is some reason to make the information discoverable by other applications or users.
