What happened to my keywords? Since the last update of aperture I can't see my keywords anymore! Every photo (1000s of images) had several keywords, but they're all gone. (Or at least I can't see them anymore.) Who will help me find them back?

Aperture 3, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    You need to enable the display for metadata in Browser and Viewer.

     

    There are several places how whereyou can turn it on; for example, from the main menu bar "view" menu:

    View > Metadata display > Viewer > Show Metadata

     

    View > Metadata display > Browser > Show Metadata

     

    You need to configure the Metadata shown in these overlays.

    Use

    View > Metadata display > Browser > Customize

     

    Enable all tags you want in the left column of this panel. The "keyword" are enabled in the "Content" section of the left colum.
