Keyword sets
As you add increasing numbers of keywords to the catalog, it’s important to create keyword sets so you can easily access
relevant keywords. For example, you can create keyword sets of up to nine keywords for certain events, locations,
people, or assignments. Keyword sets do not change how keywords are written to the photo’s metadata. They simply
provide different ways to organize keywords. Keywords can belong to more than one keyword set.
