Chapter Topics
How Do I Use Keywords?

content of a file (such as objects in a photo, or events in a
video clip) or its subjective aspects (for example, adjectives
like beautiful or intense).

collection. You simply add them to a master list for the
collection, then attach them to an individual record or
multiple records as you see fit.

with a dark red background).
