After selecting the image/images in Library mode, the “Delete” keyboard key (remove from collection) doesn’t work – but “Alt+Delete” (remove from catalog & collection) and “Ctrl+Alt+Delete” (remove from catalog/collection/disk) does (with a confirmation dialog). Using LR 2.5 =)

Bummer – since I flagged these images as reject while in the “Collection Set”, when I change back to the Collection — the flags are gone!? So I cannot select them all at once or filter from the Collection and them remove. This sucks.

Ok – figured it out! On the left panel under “Collections”, I have a Collection Set titled “Wedding” and two collections within it “5D” and “Xti”. When I had the “Wedding” Collection Set highlighted and selected focus on a single image, right-click and “Remove from Collection” was greyed out. When I highlighted the “5D” Collection and then right-clicked the same photo, now “Remove from Collection” was available. Odd.

What if the “Remove from Collection” link is greyed out? What does that mean? (Sorry, I don’t know why it’s like that either, or what I did!?) Thanks.

Very simple, once you’re in library module and you stand on an image on the right bar you see two boxes:
A. Keywording – showing list of all keywords for the specific image. simply delete what you want.
B. Keyword List – Showing a list of keywords with V toggle on their left side if they are used for the specific images. simply click on the v toggle and keyword will be removed from image.

Hope I helped,
Nir

Question.
How do you remove a keyword from an image ?
I only seem to be able to delete and not just remove the key word.
Thanks for any help.
