When to use bulk tagging

Bulk tagging saves time when you:

• Finish a shoot and want the same label on every keeper (selects, deliverable)
• Mark a batch for a social campaign (carousel-march)
• Remove an outdated label from several files at once

Select multiple images

Use any combination of:

• ⌘-click to add individual photos
• Shift-click for a range
• Drag a selection rectangle on empty grid space
• Select All in the header

The Properties area shows how many files are selected and the message Apply keywords to all selected files.

Add a keyword to all selected

1. With multiple photos selected, go to the Properties tab.
2. In Keywords, type in Add keyword…
3. Press Enter or click plus.

The keyword is added to every selected image.

Remove a keyword from all selected

Click × on a keyword chip. The keyword is removed from all selected images that had it.

Partial keywords (mixed selection)

When your selection includes photos that do not all share the same keyword, that keyword may appear with a different visual style (partial state)—meaning only some of the selected files have it.

• Removing a partial keyword removes it only from files that had it.
• Adding a new keyword still applies to all selected files.

What you cannot bulk-edit

With multiple files selected, LunaFinder shows only the Keywords section—not full per-file metadata blocks. For camera settings or location per image, select one photo at a time.

Other actions remain single-file only: rename, move to trash, color picker, and full Properties popup.

Workflow example: social media batch

1. Filter or browse to a folder of campaign shots.
2. Select all images for one post (Shift-click or drag).
3. Add keyword posted-instagram-2024.
4. Later, use Tags → click that keyword to find everything posted in that batch.
