Hi,
I've searched for this and didn't come up with what I was looking for and hoping someone can help.

I use photoshop elements 7. I go into file/file info and am able to load title and description. However, when I try to insert keywords just a couple fields down, it won't allow me to put my curser in and type, or copy and paste from another document. What am I doing wrong? How can I put keywords into the photo?

Thanks.

Elements must work differently that CS3. I used Elements a few years ago and I used the tag feature to attach the keywords to my images and then they were placed into the keyword section automatically. Use the Elements help section on inserting tags or keywords, that should help.

I also had trouble with adding keywords when I started using Elements 7.

In the end I gave up and downloaded Pixvue (free download) from the internet.

It integrates with windows explorer and seems good for keywording and adding descriptions / titles. The keywords and description are then read automatically when uploading to Shutterstock.

Easy to copy set of keywords from one image to another and edit, add and delete.

Thanks Andy, might give that a shot. I've got a ticket into support too. I tried their directions in the help section, to no avail.
