iptc advanced tagging features

[robok]

As much as I liked the look of Lightroom, I went with Bibble for RAW and am close to going with PM.

Truthfully, PM seems like a high price to me for just one part of the work flow.  While the tagging seems to have improved here, Lightroom is a big step ahead in keywording.

Specifically:

* drag and drop in many ways -- keyword onto image, image onto keyword, one keyword under another
* hierarchy of keywords and the ability to rearrange
* viewing across the library of keywords (i know this is beyond the scope of PM)
* autofill of keywords
* when the keyword panel is active, the numbers 1-9 become the shortcut for the most recent keywords used.

I think PM could copy a few things from LR in this area.

As others have said, if PM had a lean library function, it would be a slam dunk!  I know (hope) its coming at some point.

Are you on Windows or Mac?

So what do you really think?

To me its all about speed and customization.
PM is the fastest editing program, period.
Also I move my work from a laptop to a tower for processing, with lightroom that involves reimporting....

They are not truly comparable programs.

mbbphoto -- did you not like my post?  I thought I was being constructive.

When the Windows version has the Structured Keywords editor, I think you'll be surprised at how powerful it really is.
