MarineLife Keyword List for Lightroom and Aperture

MarineLife Keyword List is a keywords file created by professional underwater photographers to simplify wildlife keywording workflow. It contains keywords for over 12,000 species of marine life and includes not only common names, but also genus and species names, and full taxonomic structure. Be sure to check out our blog, where we post breaking news and user reviews.

Searchable by common name or part of the common name, the keyword list ensures that you will never again have to type in long pseudo-latin scientific names when keywording your images in Aperture* or Lightroom. In addition, a number of other taxonomic names such as the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family and other sub-categories exist as parent keywords and are automatically applied when you tag your image.

MarineLife Keyword List can currently be imported into both Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture without adversely affecting your current keyword database. Upon import, the keywords are available for immediate use in keywording your marine wildlife images.

MarineLife Keyword List sells for $99 and is available as a direct download. We also offer a trial version that includes keywords for 580 fish species, including angelfishes, butterflyfishes, damsels, parrotfishes and puffers.

Disclaimer

Note that MarineLife Keywords is a standalone product that may or may not be updated in the future. MarineLife Keywords is a working photographer's tool meant to simplify keywording for the underwater photographer. It should not be considered to be scientific reference material. Animal taxonomy and classifications change from time to time; keeping up with them would be more than a full-time job!

If we do elect to do an update in the future, we will make an announcement using our mailing list. Join our mailing list.

Notes about Apple Aperture

Automatic tagging of parent keywords exists in Lightroom only. Although Aperture is aware that a keyword exists in a hierarchy, it currently requires manual selection of parent keywords for tagging. Aperture also only searches keyword lists from the beginning of a keyword, meaning that if you search for "shark", Aperture will not return "tiger shark" in your list of search results. See our support pages for hints on how to use MarineLife Keywords with Aperture.
