Convert Adobe Lightroom Keywords to WordPress Tags
While it’s still in Beta, you can download our Lightroom Keywords to Download Tags plugin. Once activated and you can find the settings under Downloads > Settings > Extensions.
This plugin will extract the Adobe Lightroom keywords from your featured images and use them as archival tags in your WordPress install.
Note: this plugin requires use of the getimagesize() PHP function, which is disabled by a few hosts. Check with your host for more info.
