Can Finder display the keywords attached to my pictures? I know that I can use Finder to search pictures for a keyword in a picture but the Information sidebar does not show the keyword(s).
Finder version 11.5
macOS Big Sur version 11.6.1
Thank you,
iMac 27″, macOS 11.6
Perform a Finder Get Info on your pictures that have IPTC keywords. They will appear listed in the top category (keywords) in the More Info section.
Keywords are not one of the optional Preview options available for the Finder's Preview mode when you click on a picture containing IPTC keywords.
Opening the picture in Apple's Preview application and opening the Inspector (cmd+i) will reveal the image IPTC keywords in the ⌽ tab.

You are welcome. As a fellow user, I have no idea what plans Apple has for future FInder features. You can send the macOS product team your feedback feature request for the IPTC keywords selection in the Finder Preview options.
VikingOSX,
Thank you for the quick response.
I have found that selecting a picture and using Command I - Get Info the keyword is shown in the popup window. Maybe Apple will add keyword as an option to Finder's Preview Pane.
Regards,
Although you selected keywords on a Folder, no image within it bearing IPTC Keywords will reveal them in the Preview panel, and the Preview options panel has no selectable Keywords option on it. Just tested selecting Keywords on my Pictures folder, and then choosing a JPG with that folder known to have IPTC keywords in it. Nothing.
I got the same results and is why I sent a request to the product team.
The program that I use to attach keywords only allows me to search in one folder at a time. I like that Finder will look across all drives and return pictures for a keyword. But as I have added numerous keywords to every picture, one for each species and one for location, Finder would be much convenient if I could just see all of the keywords in the Preview Pane.
Regards,
Just found that Keyword is a selectable option in the Preview Pane for a folder. I also submitted a request to the product team.
Thanks for the suggestion...
