Just download and install the Mac OS X Package from <http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/>. This is the command that you can paste (without the "<Drag..." part but followed by a blank) in a Terminal window: exiftool '-mwg:keywords+<filename' <Drag image folder here>

Hi Thorsten yes that may work also, what is the process? I have looked through Convert and Modify but nothing obvious there to me.
