Hello
I would like to remove a keyword from a large number of photos.

Please post an image containing that metadata (along with its associated XMP sidecar file, if any.)  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your file(s).

Thanks,

-Kirk

Hello,

  The Find and Replace utility in the Edit menu can batch remove unwanted keywords. The Find field will have the keyword you wish to remove from the selected group of images.  The Replace field will be empty. The Metadata box needs to be checked in the Searching section.  Check the Keywords box in the IPTC field list. My test example also has the Case sensitive search and Treat repeating fields as single string, boxes checked.  I have attached a screen shot of this configuration.

regards,

--Bob

Thank you, it worked very well; I was able to process about 15,000 photos with only a few PM+ interruptions that I had to restart.
