The IPTC core keywords and the XMP have native fields for Country, State/province, City and Location. These will mostly be the same for a batch of photos, and so can be added immediately at import. One needs to add separate keywords only if the location requires resolution further than that provided by the Location field. Good info I should say.

I tag all of my photos by city. In Lightroom, I have nested keywords of United States->Arizona->Phoenix. When I drop a photo into Phoenix and export it for upload, Arizona and United States are automatically added to its keyword list.<br /><br />I also tend to put suburbs and smaller towns under their larger neighbors. Littleton Colorado, for example, would be United States->Colorado->Denver->Littleton.<br /><br />If I'm tagging something from my hometown of 1,500 that isn't anywhere near a major city, I will use the county name. That usually means a lot in rural areas, but would be lost on larger metropolitan areas. United States->Oklahoma->Kiowa County->Snyder.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A TAGGING/KEYWORDKING APPLICATION, MAKE SURE IT’S PUTTING THE TAGS/KEYWORDS IN THE FILE!

most free application do NOT do this. They store the metadata separately and then you are trapped using that app forever, and the metadata does NOT go to web services.

I have found that the most popular & free apps… notably Picasa and iPhoto… do this.

One free and very nice app that doesn’t is the Microsoft Photo Gallery built in Vista and now abailable for free as part of Windows Live on http://getlive.com

It’s easy to use, fast, does bulk tagging in a number of ways and puts the metadata into the photo file where it belongs.

I use it to properly name and keyword/tag my images as it pulls them from the memory card, and all that info stays with the file, is there in Photoshop, and is written to the eventual jpg that then gets uploaded.
