EMPLOY EFFECTIVE KEYWORDING

Make your images more ‘findable’ by adding useful file information in Photoshop

Keywording can make a significant difference in the chances of your images being selected by a publisher. While not essential for one-off buyers of individual images, for commercial clients it is essential that they are able to search for and isolate required content on demand. Use Photoshop’s File Info dialog to add descriptive tags that highlight the subject and setting for the photo. For animals and plants, consider including both common names and binomial identifiers – neither stock agencies nor image buyers should be left to identify species from the photograph alone. While keywording is often obligatory, highly informative tagging will set your shots apart, increasing potential sales.
