Keywords
This page contains downloadable versions of various keyword lists for use with Adobe Lightroom. Hopefully over time I’ll add more and if you have any suggestions for keyword lists, or any of your own that you’d like me to add, then let me know.
To download, either click on the link to view the keywords in your browser where you can then either save it or cut and paste it, or right-click and choose save as.
These keyword lists are the most popular item on my site and I’m sure you appreciate it takes time to collate them. Whilst I don’t plan on charging for them I do request that if you find them useful you make a donation (via PayPal) to help me cover my hosting costs. You can donate any amount you like from $1 upwards. Thank you!
- Geography – a list of all countries broken down by continent
- Animals – I’m sure this won’t be complete but includes over 350 animals
- Colours – Red or Crimson? A list of 42 of the more common colours
- Natural Landforms – Beaches, canyons, forest and glaciers
- Bodies of Water – Over 30 terms for that wet stuff
