Introducing A Game-changing Feature: Automated Image Keywords And Descriptions

Excellent development. Thank you, Sean et al.!

It will be on very soon. It really is a game changer!!

I look forward to giving it a try.

Happy to try this out!

Wao! So we don't need to add keywords or descriptions. Thanks a lot for all the work, Abbie and Sean!

May I ask, please, if I write a brief description will the system adds up to it or I should write nothing at all for the system to step in?

This is fantastic news! Thank you Abbie for letting us know about it. And a great big thank you to Sean for continuing to give us the best POD out there!

This a very, very nice addition!! Thank you to Sean for giving us this feature.

Gramerly added AI that allowed anyone using it to look up the subject of your images automatically form a very short description you entered. I have been using it for over a year now.

A short description like "Tell me about Morro Rock in Morro Bay, California" would return a short but very adequate description. If you want a longer description, you can ask for it to be more detailed or descriptive. That more detailed description would give you words you could add to your keywords.

This new system that Sean is introducing goes a step further by doing the keywords.

Looking forward to using it.

That sounds fascinating. I look forward to its discovery. I also be interested in what this can do to update or modernize old images.

Are there instructions or an explanation for how it works, or is it just going to work in the background?

IT IS ON NOW

example below

If you add nothing at all, the system will do it for you

If you have added meta to the image so it populates on upload, it will not do anything.

You may add to it or remove it as you wish in edit

Will it work on editing an existing image? I don't see how to access it.

We have to do that for you, Floyd, right now

It will only edit ones that are empty

Looks good. I've been using chatGPT and Claude, I like being able to nudge the results in the direction I want, especially in terms of specifying mood, or inspiration or something more abstract.

Well, when the uploader is not working right, I will upload images with just the title and artist name, leaving everything else empty, then go back and edit. I did that and then went to edit so I guess that means it will not work in edit more ever if the keywords and description is epty

test result:


I loaded the following image:
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-rialto-bridge-venice-italy-robert-yaeger.html?newartwork=true

The image load takes a little longer than previous, but the key words and description were automated with:

Keywords: "venice, bridge, canal, gondola, reflection, water, sunlight, architecture, balustrades, black and white."
NOTE to programmer: there was a period at the end of the last entry, and I thought the country, "Italy" should have been included as a basic key word.

Description: "A stone bridge with ornate balustrades spans over a canal where a gondola and its passengers glide through the water. Sunlight filters through the arch, casting a bright reflection on the water and creating a striking contrast with the shaded areas."

Very nice time saving tool! I added to the description, and also will likely add more key words for future entries, but this is a great help!
Thank you very much!

If you upload now, it is automatically populated

Interesting. I'm excited to try it out. Thank you!

Much appreciated. A major time saver and will certainly help many with keywords to add in for their description.

Gracias!

Okay, really cool.

A couple of comments/questions.

First, it only entered ten keywords. I entered an additional 9. Am I wasting my time adding keywords?

The description was excellent but much shorter than I usually use. Again, am I wasting my time by writing longer descriptions?

I what to also add that using the description that FAA entered and then asking Gramerly to make it more detailed and friendly gave me an excellent finished product.

Really GLAD we can modify and add on.

This is fantastic !!

Question ? If your images are already filled in with keywords (as mine are) and you delete all the keywords, will the uploader be aware of that and then fill in with new keywords ?

Allen, I will double check. They will not be populated unless we do that for you, as the image is already loaded. However I will check if that is the case if you remove them. I should imagine so


EDIT

Right now, it only works if a new image is uploaded and that new image doesn't have any embedded keywords or description.

I was going to ask the question but Abbie already answered. I Iike to populate the keywords before upload so the image is keyworded in my computer as well and not just online.

If one does that the auto keyworder takes no action when uploaded to FAA.

I did a test to compare what I already uploaded earlier today with a new version.

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/cleveland-library-eastman-garden-gates-dale-kincaid.html?newartwork=true

The 10 keywords are basic and generic, but accurate. The description is basic with a little speculation. It is very good as it is and a good start to customizing. I', not sure about the categorizing.

Here is the image I uploaded earlier in a vertical format.

Wow! That's awesome! Thank you so much!

Thank you, Abbie. Good to know. I suspected that to be the case but good to have it verified.

Here's another tip for descriptions for Gramerly users. Highlight the FAA-supplied description and then ask Gramerly to make it more detailed. You will get a lot more search terms in Gramerly's detailed description.

Is the system up yet? Do I have to do anything to get my art on it?

@barbara, its there now. You have to have no description or keywords, it fills it in.

Though I haven't checked since I posted to tech, for some reason its been stripping the term AI from my keywords and adding a comma in the very start of my words. Has been for a while as I can't find much of my own AI work. It never removed words before and can't imagine why that would be removed.


----Mike Savad

The comma will be left after a keyword has been removed

Hi so is this new feature already installed in the fine arts when I upload my image, your saying it will automatically be there as soon as I upload my image correct

Also I would like my old images with this feature and you said to contact you if I need help with it cause I do

Pretty impressed to find that when I uploaded a picture of a gibbon tonight the "spooky AI thing", as my friend calls it, included "gibbon" as the first keyword. Not animal or mammal, not primate or even ape, but gibbon!

I'm adding everyone to the list. I can't do it but have passed it to Sean...

Has the automatic keyworder stopped working for anybody else? It just gave me a blank description and keywords last night after numerous attempts. I have tried it this morning on several files and it still isn't working, at least for me.

Abbie, will it just be for images without descriptions?

Abbie I love the feature, but had an issue yesterday . I uploaded an image and entered it in a contest. A few minutes later I noticed that AI had not entered the species correctly. I edited the image, and today I find out the image is no longer in the contest after voting has started.

Did you read the rules for that competition carefully. I think it’s more likely that the person running it deleted it.

You could email the organiser and ask them.

Yes, I read the rules and the contest administrator says she didn’t remove it.

I've been having the same problem as others have mentioned: the automatic keyworder leaves the description blank, even after numerous attempts. I have tried it this morning on several files and it still isn't working, at least for me. I do not use Lightroom and have never had embedded key words - these are the same kinds of files I've uploaded in the past.

I uploaded an hour or so ago; the keywords and descriptions were added without an issue.

I just uploaded an image and whereas in the past the key words and description were auto generated, today nothing appeared. I have not changed any settings.

@mo - did you have any keywords etc filled in before hand? Because I don't think it fills in anything if one or the other has something there.


----Mike Savad

Mo

It's a glitch that happens occasionally.

Just go back to the previous page and reupload the image.

i love this !

Thank You...I will reload in future.


Today it worked perfectly first time.

When this was first instituted a month ago, it worked wonderfully for me every time - both key words and descriptions. Now I almost never get descriptions . . . and I have gone back and re-done, waited hours and re-done, waited days and re-done . . . still nothing. And no, I do not have any embedded keywords. I have never used a program that does that. For me, it simply doesn't work for the descriptions anymore.

Edit to say - or at least it very frequently does not work for the descriptions, even when it offers key word suggestions.

Maybe the AI is on strike and joined a union? Or the AI is too smart and knows it can do better than make descriptions... Its writing a screen play.


----Mike Savad

If you have any EXIF data attached to your photos, I believe Abbie said AI won't fill in anything.

Sure would be nice to have a button by the boxes. Or a suggestions or even a rewrite option on site.


----Mike Savad

I rarely have any problem with this feature.

This is a great feature to have. Much appreciated.

So I haven’t been uploading much lately and haven’t seen this asked…. When I view one of my images, the page only lists 4-5 keywords even though I entered many more. My entered keywords are still retained with the image but are they searchable or are only the AI keywords searched?
