I can’t find a newsgroup for Lightroom, so I’m asking here. If there’s a better newsgroup, please let me know!

Sorting event photos, my second shooter decided to use Lightroom to "stack" photos of each entry. Now he wants to keyword them by stack. The help file seems to say that if you keyword a stack it applies to the entire stack, but what we are finding is that it only keywords the top photo.

Is this a bug or are we misreading the documentation? Is there a way to select ALL the photos in a stack and then keyword them?

Thanks!

The problem is that the photos aren’t contiguous, and are stacked. So how do you select just the photos in one stack, without selecting any of the other photos in the library? Selecting "all" the photos is useless for keywording.

I have just been trying and as you say there does not seem to be a way to do this without unstacking!! it would also seem you can only apply metadata to the top image too!!
