I've a question about using Picasa to assign some keywords alongside others added in Lightroom.
Although I've used Lightroom instead of Picasa for about a year now, and love it, Picasa still has one advantage: it has face recognition software to allow the rapid tagging of people in pics.
Since I am only just starting to use keywords in Lightroom, can someone tell me whether it is possible to tag people in Picasa so that those tags show up as keywords in Lightroom?
Since many of my pictures in Lightroom will have other keywords, it is important to me that the process of using Picasa to add to a picture personal keywords that also show up in lightroom -- assuming this is possible -- NOT overwrite the keywords that picture already has.
For instance, suppose I have a picture of Sue on the beach. In Lightroom, I assign the keyword "beach". I'm asking two questions:
1. Can I use Picasa to add "Sue" so that it shows up in Lightroom?
2. Will doing so will make that keyword "Sue" overwrite the keyword "beach". (I want it not to, but rather just to slot in alongside the picture's existing keywords.)
Any help on this would be VERY gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
