I have an Automator service that adds selected photos to iPhoto. I would like it to also add a specific keyword to these photos.
How can I do this?
I found this question, but the only answer does not set the keywords via automator.

Sign up to join this communityIf you are using the “Import to iPhoto” Automator action, that returns a list of iPhoto photos you can process. Just add an “Applescript” action after your import action with the following script:
tell application "iPhoto"
repeat with importedPhoto in (input as list)
select importedPhoto
assign keyword string "your keyword"
end repeat
end tell
– that should do the trick.
string
after keyword
, though. I went ahead and edited it in to help future visitors.
