hiya -- how can i delete information from a picture-
so the picture no longer shows up in my Finder search?

i tend to search using the Finder Command-F searchbox
i put in the word "party" and all these unrelated pictures come up.
i assume there's some appendant info attached to the pic --somewhere-- but i can't even seem to successfully delete the "picture keywords" using preview

not sure where the keywords i want to delete are stored, really-- cause in preview, i cant even find the keyword "party"...

i know a simple way would be to search for "party" only using the title search, but sometimes i want the broader search. there must be a way to alter a pic file to make it not show up on searches, no?

i'm macbok pro. 10.4.11 MS Office 2004 11.5.3

thanks as usual. you guys 're great.

Right click the image file in finder » Get Info.

Should be an area in the Get Info box for "Spotlight Comments".

This is the only place I know of that contains data for searching. You should be able to delete or add to whats there for each photo.

If you are an Adobe design program user (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, etc.) and you have Adobe Bridge installed, then those photos could have tags added to it through Bridge.

Bridge is just Adobe's file browsing program. Check there as well if you have it. The keyword area is in plain view on the interface once you open it.
