Hi everyone,

I have created the site for photographers and illustrators to speed up the process of finding keywords to the images. The basic point is that the list of keywords is not abstract, the customers actually use these keywords in their searching process. You can test the beta-version of the site here: photokeywords.com.

How does it work?
1. You type in the form several basic keywords, which exactly describe your image.
2. Among the results of search you choose several images which are most similar to yours.
3. The site automatically takes the keywords from the chosen images and demonstrates them. Identical keywords which coincide in the chosen images will be removed automatically. Also the list of keywords will be automatically sorted by frequency of use in the chosen images and then by the popularity of retrieval requests to make easier your final selection of keywords.
4. First 50 words in the list are marked as most relevant to the image.
5. After you make all the necessary changes, the final list of keywords is generated.

Now a few words about where I have found the base of retrieval requests. On several photostocks there are pages where the latest retrieval requests are generated. I have created a program which automatically collects these requests.

If you’ve got any ideas concerning improving the site, you are welcomed to mail them here or to the following e-mail address: photokeywords@gmail.com

Congratulations, this is an amazingly handy system to aid in keywording. I don't keyword too many images, but i tried this out on a couple and it works fantastically.
