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)

A:

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.

 

Regards

Léonie
