wow.... i'm finally getting action from june. AWESOME!!
ok not sure if im saying this right but i will try again
you have personal pics, then pics ya download from net(which you ahve no CLUE what is in them for tags\keywords OR how many). Before june i didnt even know pics had tags or keywords.
so here i was importing 30 some thousand pics into jriver. well when i wanted to start making tags for them(keywords) i noticed there were THOUSANDS of diffrent keywords and it would take for ever for jriver to just open up the keyword so i could select the ones i wanted. now i had pics of my son, family, personal etc(that of course had no tags in them cause i never put them there! or new how to).. Now every keyword from ALL pics imported was there and i had to scroll through thousands of keywords to select or make my son as a key word. So.. Fake son's name...dylan you click on dylan's picture, tag, then click on keywords to edit, in there is trees, shoes, and all the keywords that OTHERS had put ito there pics that i have downloaded. IT IS HUGE SLOPPY (not jriver) but these tags from other pics one has downloaded.
everytime i would try selecting them all and removing them it would lock me up and wouldnt work(JRiver), after being in this\making this post for awhile and not recieving a reply i started searching. ive tried ligthroom, locked up...TO MUCH INFO, and finally tried itag, i scanned my picture folders. once i got to my graphics photos. Itag would lock up 8,000 photos, not from the photo sizes. but all the dang tags associated with each picture.
so i still am working on removing those tags, which is tough!!!
Now. after removing tags in itag i closed i tag then reopened it and imported same folder where i'd removed tags, to confirm the tags were gone. they were. also opened light room and imported the small folder to test it, and FIANLLY confirmed tags were gone. then i opened jriver, REMOVED ALL PICTURES.RESTARTED. then imported the SAME small folder to confirm there were no dang keywords.. now it's DEFINATELLY a jriver issue. cause once importing then right clicking on picture, tag edit keyword. all the same selections\keywords were there, tree, sunset, strasse, 12hffkfys4466, cat eyeball, yellow, green, places, people, etc...
so I'm still trying to figure it out. you 2 guys figure it out PLEASE let me know. cause i have spent hours that i dont have trying to get this so i can search\tag my pics easilly, and the way that i want them keyworded.
