Is there a way to add the same keyword to a batch of pics in Photos like there was in iPhoto?

You can select the photos all at once, then open the Info panel with ⌘I, then type the keyword into the field for the keywords. It will be applied to all photos. To remove it from all photos selected photos delete it in the Info panel.


Or open the Keywords Manager ⌘K and press the key for the keyword. If the keyword is in the "Quick Group" simply press the hot key assigned to the keyword to batch apply a keyword.


For example: With the Info panel:

User uploaded file

Or with the Keyword Manager :

User uploaded file

To assign the keyword "4 Star" to all selected photos I simply need to press "4"
